They saw a child who looked no more than five or six years old, with his whole body hidden, only half of his face with a pair of big eyes open, looking at them.
Before Qin Qing and the others could speak, they saw a boy of about sixteen or seventeen running towards them from a distance!
"Youyou, what are you doing here?"
The young man's thin body was covered with an ill-fitting baggy suit, which made the space underneath the clothes look even more empty.
The slightly longer hair had begun to tangle, clumping together in clumps.
The black stains here and there on his face could not hide his handsome features. At this moment, his face was full of anxiety, and he was trying hard to pull away the child hiding nearby.
"etc……!"
When Qin Qing saw this young man, his eyebrows couldn't help but jump.
This young man gave her a sense of familiarity she had never felt before, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
"What do you want to do?" When the young man heard Qin Qing's words, he immediately hid his brother behind him cautiously.
In fact, Qin Qing didn't understand why he called out to the young man for no apparent reason. It was just a subconscious action!
Now they stared at each other with a hint of inexplicable embarrassment in Qin Qing's eyes. When he saw the little kid behind the boy secretly sticking his head out and looking at him with wide eyes of innocent curiosity, his heart softened inexplicably.
She took a step forward, took out a bag of bread from her backpack, squatted down, and handed it to the little boy.
"Is your name Youyou? Can you take us to the market?"
As he spoke, he handed the bread in his hand to the little boy!
This action surprised not only the young man but also Li Xiong. Even Lu Chi who was standing behind Qin Qing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The Qin Qing they knew was not a saint who would feel soft-hearted when seeing the weak!
What surprised the young man was that this cold-looking woman was so generous as to take out a bag of bread.
Although the outer city can collect some things from people who have just entered the city, it is only one or two loose biscuits at most.
After he was surprised, the alertness on his face became more serious.
Nowadays, the resources in the outer city are becoming less and less. He has heard that women and children in the outer city have disappeared inexplicably recently. Could this woman be so kind?
For the first time, Qin Qing was soft-hearted but was rejected. She put away the soft-heartedness in her heart.
He stood up, moved the bread he had originally given to the little boy in front of the young man and said, "Or you can come? Just take us to the market."
The young man, who was still making all kinds of guesses, was suddenly surprised.
Even though the bread in front of him was in a transparent plastic bag, he could smell the milky aroma of the bread inside. Youyou hadn't had a full meal for a long time!
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, snatched the bread from Qin Qing's hand, and said, "I'll take you there!"
He turned around, stuffed the bread into Youyou's arms, and said to him, "Youyou, go to the tent and wait for your brother. Your brother will be back soon, okay? Don't run out like you did last time, or your brother will be angry. Do you understand?"
Youyou blinked his big eyes, nodded as if he understood, touched the bread in his arms, and his big eyes suddenly narrowed into slits.
Today I can have a good meal with my brother. Although he is still young, he can already feel that his brother is always hungry, so I save food for him.
Watching his brother stumble all the way into their shabby tent, the young man let out a breath, turned around, and said with a fearless attitude: "Let's go!"
Qin Qing blinked at him, then tilted his head and gave him a questioning look when he saw him standing there motionless.
Xiang Zuo saw the woman's puzzled expression, and his original thoughts began to waver. Maybe she really just needed a guide. Thinking of this, a trace of confusion flashed across his face.
Anyway, he has already given it his all, so why should he be afraid of other people's conspiracies?
Qin Qing looked at his expression, not knowing whether to be angry or amused.
Looking at Xiang Zuo's expression as if he was going to be executed, he led them towards the market.
After walking for about ten minutes, we saw all kinds of men, women, young and old sitting on the ground not far away, with a piece of cloth in front of them and various items placed on it.
No one expected that the so-called outer city market here was much larger than the market in the Yuanshan base, and there were many kinds of items on sale.
If it weren't for the people's pale faces and weak shouts due to hunger, and the expensive electronic products and luxury goods of the pre-apocalyptic era spread out on the ground, Qin Qing and the others would have felt like they were still in a gathering before the apocalypse.
In reality, when Qin Qing and his companions were at Yuanshan Base, the impending apocalypse didn't strike many people as a threat. With the aid of the base's military, many believed the disaster would soon pass and that the nation would help them rebuild their new homes.
So, at that time, far-sighted people would collect some supplies in exchange for food, while more people would hide in tents and silently wait for hope to come!
Now, three months after the end of the world, all electrical appliances cannot be used normally because no base will use consumable diesel to generate electricity just to cook for everyone.
Electronic products without electricity are worthless.
But even if it is useless, there is no guarantee that no one will take a fancy to it, so no matter what it is, they will drag it over and try every means to exchange it for a biscuit, which is also good.
However, although there were many people setting up stalls, there were not many people visiting the stalls. There were only two or three kittens, who walked quickly past those useless stalls to avoid being harassed.
When they saw Qin Qing and his group coming over, their eyes suddenly lit up. Although Qin Qing and his group were not many, they were not few either, with several adults dragging two children.
Those who wanted to go forward to ask questions stopped immediately when they saw that they were dressed very cleanly. They looked at Qin Qing and the others with a bit of awe and did not dare to go forward to speak.
They were afraid that they were from the inner city. If they offended the people in the inner city, these people who were struggling to survive might not even be able to stay in the outer city!
Seeing that they had already arrived at the market, Qin Qing didn't bother Xiang Zuo. He nodded and said, "You can go now!"
Xiang Zuoben was still feeling uneasy, but when he heard Qin Qing's words, his eyes suddenly widened. He then immediately realized that he had been speculating on other people's good intentions with a mean mind!
He bowed deeply to Qin Qing, then turned and ran back the way he came.
He was really worried about Youyou staying in the tent alone!
If he had no other choice, he would never have left Youyou alone in the tent! (To be continued.)
