In her memory, Su Mu had a disease when he was a child, which damaged his brain and left him with the intelligence of a three or four-year-old.
She didn't think someone like this could take care of her.
"Sister, take a rest. I'll protect you. Don't be afraid!"
Su Mu patted his chest, his dark eyes filled with seriousness.
Su Xiaoxiao has been fighting in the apocalypse for many years, and she has always been the one protecting others. This is the first time that someone has said they want to protect her.
Thinking back to when the man wanted to eat her just now, Su Mu stood in front of her without hesitation.
She suddenly felt that her heart, which was as hard as steel, seemed to be touched by something and softened in an instant.
Not long after Su Wen left, a man limped in, supported by a woman.
Seeing the two children staying with the corpse, he was obviously stunned.
But he quickly withdrew his gaze and sat down in the corner.
"Brother, sister, I found some wild fruits outside!"
In less than a quarter of an hour, Su Wen came back and distributed the wild fruits he picked to Su Xiaoxiao and Su Mu.
Su Xiaoxiao took the wild fruit and took a bite, keeping an eye on the couple's actions.
Seeing the woman stand up and walk towards her, she narrowed her eyes and vigilantly reached for the knife at her waist.
As long as the woman dares to target them, she doesn't mind killing two more people!
"Little brother, we've been hungry all day. Can you share some wild fruits with us?"
Hearing this, Su Wen felt a little embarrassed.
"But we don't have much wild fruit."
"We just want to fill our stomachs. Just give it to the two of us."
The woman stared at the wild fruit in his arms and swallowed.
Su Wen hesitated for a moment and handed her two wild fruits.
"Thank you, little brother!" The woman thanked him and happily returned to the man with the fruit. "Little brother, are there only three of you? Where are your parents?"
"Daddy, he..."
"Daddy has gone to town to gather information. He will be back to pick us up tomorrow!"
Su Xiaoxiao interrupted Su Wen and gave him a harmless smile.
Su Wen knew that she was wary of women, so he turned around and wanted to remind Su Mu not to expose her lies.
But Su Mu was busy eating wild fruits and had no time to pay attention to anyone.
Hearing this, the woman smiled slightly and stopped talking.
The sky outside the dilapidated temple was getting dark. Su Xiaoxiao lay between the two brothers and dozed off, listening to the movements around her with her ears perked up.
She held on until the second half of the night, but finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.
Early in the morning, Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and found Su Mu was still sleeping, while Su Wen and the couple were gone.
She wanted to go out and check what was going on, but just as she stepped out of the dilapidated temple, someone pulled her into a corner.
"Shh!"
Su Wen covered her mouth and stared straight ahead.
Su Xiaoxiao followed his gaze and saw three soldiers pulling the couple apart.
"Sir, my man has a disabled leg. He will die on the battlefield. Please let him go and give us a chance to live!"
"If we let him go, what will we do?"
"There's...there's a way to get through!" The woman raised her hand and pointed at the dilapidated temple. "There are two boys in their early teens inside. They're young and strong, and more suitable for fighting on the battlefield. I'll help you capture them, but I only ask that you release my man."
Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes when she heard the woman's words.
She knew that there were no good people in troubled times.
Su Wen just distributed wild fruits to them yesterday, but today they are repaying kindness with hatred. They deserve to be damned!
Su Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and gradually tightened her small fists.
Su Wen was suddenly panicked when he knew that the woman had betrayed them.
"Oh no, we've been discovered, what should we do?"
"run!"
Su Xiaoxiao said something and turned to run into the dilapidated temple.
She wanted to inform Su Mu, but as soon as she turned around, she was discovered by the woman.
"Sir, there they are!"
"Catch them quickly, don't let them run away!"
As a man's voice fell, an officer stepped forward to capture Su Wen, while another rushed into the ruined temple and pulled out Su Mu who was sleeping.
"Woo woo woo, let me go!"
"Brother!" Su Wen looked at Su Mu worriedly, then turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao and shouted, "Sister, run!"
Hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao frowned.
These three soldiers were here to conscript young men and were not interested in this little girl.
If she wanted to leave, the officers and soldiers would not stop her.
And there was no need for her to get herself involved for two strangers.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxiao turned around and ran without hesitation.
As she had guessed, the three soldiers had no intention of chasing her and left with the two Su brothers.
"There's a house up ahead, go get some water!"
The leading officer handed the water bottle to his companions and then found a shady place to rest.
After a while, their companion came back with a water bottle and handed it to them to drink in turns.
"Second brother, I'm thirsty!"
"Sir, could you give us some water?"
Su Xiaoxiao hid behind a tree and couldn't hear what they were saying.
Seeing the soldiers handing the water bottle to Su Mu, Su Xiaoxin was startled and quickly shouted, "Brother, don't drink it!"
"younger sister!"
Su Mu's eyes lit up and he stood up quickly.
Before he could react, the kettle in his hand had been snatched away by Su Xiaoxiao.
"Sister, why are you back again?"
Su Wen looked at her worriedly.
Su Xiaoxiao once again felt the concern of others for her, and her heart suddenly felt warm.
Just now she really wanted to abandon them and leave alone.
After all, in troubled times, bringing the two Su brothers with you is like bringing two burdens.
But when Su Wen told her to run fast, she hesitated.
She borrowed the original owner's body and was able to be reborn. She should take care of her two brothers for her!
"Big brother, second brother, I'm here to save you!"
"Oh, how shameless! How can a little girl like you save..."
The leading officer had not yet finished speaking when he suddenly felt weak all over.
He looked at his two companions and found that their faces were not looking good either.
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and looked at Su Xiaoxiao in disbelief.
"Have you touched the pot of water?"
"I overheard you were going to ask for water, so I bribed the family in advance and added a knockout drug to the water. Uncle, is this drug quite effective?"
Su Xiaoxiao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a harmless smile on her face.
Her voice was soft, but the words she said frightened the three officers and soldiers.
They never imagined that a little girl who was only three or four years old could be so scheming and trick them!
"Brothers, conscription is everywhere now, and we're too conspicuous like this. I just made an appointment with Auntie. You go to her house and she will help you dress up as girls."
"good!"
The two men responded and turned to leave.
Su Wen took two steps and found that Su Xiaoxiao had not caught up with him, so he turned to look at her.
