Chapter 1056: You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a child
Early the next morning, the news that Su Yan refused to move out of the city to recuperate reached An Ran's ears. She silently counted how long Su Yan had been in Baihua City. During these days, Su Yan had not done any harm except almost losing his own life.
An Ran was getting a little impatient. She sat in the bedroom and said to Zhao Ru who came to chat with her:
"This Su Yan hasn't made any waves yet. I'm running out of patience. I'll kick her out tomorrow."
"The IQ is too low, and the methods are idiotic. Apart from seduction, Su Yan can't come up with any more wisdom."
Zhao Ru sat on a chair in the bedroom, enjoying the air conditioning, and evaluated Su Yan.
The weather is very hot now. It feels even hotter than the past two years. People walking under the sun are almost fainted by the sun. In a while, many bases that lack electricity and energy will not be able to survive without air conditioning for residents. Therefore, the people in Baihua City turned on the air conditioners early on. After all, there is no end to the electricity.
In the bedroom, An Ran was folding the quilt. She patted the baby who was still lying in bed helplessly, turned around and said to Zhao Ru, "Then what do you say we should do? I really want to analyze this person's motives through her behavior, but since she entered Baihua City, she has always been entangled in some trivial matters of her own. Oh, besides asking to get her sister Su Mei into Baihua City as well."
“How about…” Zhao Ru blinked at An Ran, smiling, and whispered, “How about… You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb, and you can ask your Zhan Lian to pretend to take the bait and let that Su Mei…”
"Zhao Ru, what's your bad idea?!"
An Ran, who was folding the quilt, turned around and glared at Zhao Ru. She wanted to suggest that Liang Ziyu go and get in touch with Su Mei, but the kid who was lying in bed behind her suddenly got up.
"Mom, are you going to feed me to the wolves?"
With tears in her eyes, Wawa was wearing shorts with her plump thighs exposed. She sat on the bed and looked at An Ran with accusations.
"When did I say I was going to feed you to the wolves?"
In the cool bedroom, An Ran tilted her head and looked at the doll in surprise. When did she want to feed the doll to the wolf? What was going on in this child's brain?
"Aunt Zhao Ru just said that you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child!"
The accusation was still in the baby's eyes, and sad tears had already slid down her cheeks. "Mom, I am your only biological daughter, are you willing to let me feed the wolves?"
"That's..." An Ran suddenly didn't know how to explain it to her baby. "That's a proverb. If you don't sacrifice your child, you can't catch the wolf. If you don't sacrifice your father, you can't lead out the person behind Su Yan! Well, that's what it means."
"Mom, not only are you willing to give up me, but you're also going to feed Dad to the wolves?"
Wawa's eyes widened in fear, as if she was meeting An Ran for the first time, and she shouted angrily, "Tell me the truth, have you fallen for some young hunk and are you willing to abandon your husband and children?!"
"Where did you see it? Which handsome guy can I find?!"
An Ran sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed the air conditioner remote control beside her, and adjusted the temperature in the bedroom. She was trying to reason with the baby, and she was so tired that she was sweating.
No matter how smart Wawa is, and no matter how different the children born after the apocalypse are from those before the apocalypse, Wawa is still just a child under three years old after all. As her abilities grow, she can always peek into the minds of some ordinary people and low-level psychics.
