Chapter 132 Xiaoxuan

Chen Qingqing thought she was seeing things, so she squinted her eyes.

...It was indeed a child.

With two short braids, she turned her back to Chen Qingqing, moved slowly, and looked around in confusion.

But all she could see was a sea of ​​corpses.

"Mom..."

The faint call came through the helmet and reached Chen Qingqing's ears. Chen Qingqing couldn't help but take a step forward.

"Mom...where are you?"

"I'm so scared."

The girl's crying voice almost instantly became real and gripped Chen Qingqing's heart.

How could anyone who has been a mother not feel distressed when hearing this call?

"...Qingqing? What's that sound?"

Lin Bo asked on the other end of the walkie-talkie.

Chen Qingqing was silent for a few moments, but was still planning to turn around and leave.

But at this moment, she saw the little girl turned her head and locked her position through the white smoke.

"Mom!"

The little girl shouted, limping towards Chen Qingqing on the corpse.

Chen Qingqing was stunned, watching the girl getting closer and closer, she squatted down subconsciously.

The girl ran all the way to her and threw herself straight into Chen Qingqing's arms.

"Mom!"

Chen Qingqing stroked the girl's back gently.

The girl was about the same age as Xiaohuan, and she was so thin and weak that she seemed like she could be blown down by a gust of wind.

The little girl was drenched in the rain, but fortunately she was not injured.

"Mom, I miss you so much, why haven't you come to pick me up?"

The girl hugged Chen Qingqing's neck, her voice full of grievance.

Chen Qingqing didn't know how to answer.

She somehow caught the little girl's arms, but didn't know what to do next.

"You..."

Chen Qingqing had just said one word when the little girl suddenly let go of her hand.

She took a step back, her big eyes flashing with panic: "You are not mommy."

...Although the child is small, she can remember her mother's voice.

The little girl, who was just relaxed, suddenly tensed up: "Where is mommy?"

Chen Qingqing was also a little at a loss.

"...Is mom dead?"

Tears welled up in the girl's eyes, "Is my mom dead?"

Chen Qingqing seemed to see Xiaohuan's shadow in this child who was about the same age as Xiaohuan.

If Xiaohuan also encountered such a thing, how uncomfortable would she, as a mother, feel.

"No, no!"

Chen Qingqing immediately denied it.

"Your mother asked me to pick you up."

The little girl was stunned: "...Really?"

"Really." Chen Qingqing nodded.

Chen Qingqing cautiously stretched out her hand to the girl: "I'll take you to a safe place and wait for your mother to find you slowly, okay?"

The girl bit her lip, her fingers pinching the corner of her clothes and getting tangled.

After a while, she slowly stretched out her hand and covered Chen Qingqing's hand.

"Okay."

Chen Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, she picked up the little girl and returned the same way.

"What's your name?"

"...My name is Pei Xiaoxuan." The girl accepted Chen Qingqing and spoke freely.

She hugged Chen Qingqing's neck and answered Chen Qingqing's questions sweetly.

"My father's name is Pei Songzhi and my mother's name is Qin Yayu."

"I also have a younger brother named Pei Xiaocao."

Well...

Dad, Mom and Xiaoxuan's names are both nice, but isn't your brother's name a bit hasty?

"Do your and your brother's names have any meaning?" Chen Qingqing asked softly.

Pei Xiaoxuan replied: "My parents said that my brother and I together are daylily!"

"So that's how it is, what a good name."

Chen Qingqing praised reluctantly.

"Can I introduce you to the other people? There is a little boy the same age as you, his name is Xiaohuan, and a little sister who is more than five months old, her name is Shenshen. And..." "

...Why is there no movement from Sister Qing?"

Cong Xin asked nervously.

Lin Bo was holding the walkie-talkie, also very anxious.

Just now he heard a very faint voice that seemed to come from a child, and then he could not hear anything.

Lin Bo frowned: "I'll go down and take a look..."

Before he finished speaking, Cong Xin suddenly pointed to the street corner not far away: "Sister Qing is back!...Where did the child in Sister Qing's arms come from?"

Xiaohuan, who was drinking milk from a bottle, immediately stuck his head out when he heard it. The moment he saw clearly, he was surprised and happy: "Wow! It's a child!"

Chen Qingqing got in the car holding Xiaoxuan.

"This is Pei Xiaoxuan, she is also six years old this year, the same age as Xiaohuan."

Chen Qingqing said as she took out a towel from her backpack and wiped Xiaoxuan's hair.

Xiaoxuan sat obediently in Chen Qingqing's arms and let Chen Qingqing wipe her hair.

Her little head swayed slightly with Chen Qingqing's movements. With a sweet smile on her face, she scanned everyone with her eyes: "Hello Uncle Lin Bo, hello Aunt Cong Xin, hello Brother Xiaohuan, hello Sister Heshe."

Everyone took a deep breath.

So cute!

Cong Xin covered her heart.

What should I do if I feel like my heart has been hit!

Xiaohuan held up her chin and looked at Xiaoxuan with starry eyes: "Xiaoxuan, you are so cute."

He also took out the milk candy that he had prepared for tomorrow and generously handed it to Xiaoxuan.

Xiaoxuan's smile became even sweeter: "Thank you, you are very cute too!"

Lin Bo originally wanted to ask Chen Qingqing why she brought this child back, but now he didn't want to ask anything.

It's just a child!

One more is not too much, one less is not too little.

Anyway, a child doesn't consume much food.

Not to mention that she is so obedient, sensible and cute!

Cong Xin couldn't help but stretched out her hand to pinch Xiaoxuan's face, but was ruthlessly slapped back by Chen Qingqing.

"The Gongling Road base was clearing the population just now, and Xiaoxuan was scared. Don't touch her."

Chen Qingqing said.

Clearing the population is a common method for most bases to control the population of the base.

Once the population exceeds the range that the base can bear, the wounded must be cleared first.

The second is the elderly who have lost their ability to move and the children who do not yet have the ability to work.

This is also an important reason why Chen Qingqing was reluctant to seek refuge in the base in the early stage.

If you enter a base that uses this method to clear the population, Xiaohuan and Huoshe will be at risk of being "cleared" at any time.

And at this time, Xiaoxuan in her arms is also within the scope of being cleared.

I think someone must have seen her young age and protected her, or she was small and was blocked by bullets and explosions by others, so she survived.

Cong Xin's eyes were full of distress.

During the days when she went out with Chen Qingqing's family, she truly understood the cruelty of the end of the world.

Human life in the end of the world is not human life, but just a number.

And human beings will not cherish each other more because of the reduction in numbers.

They will only be more ruthless to their peers in order to compete for survival resources.

In such a difficult situation, every life that is lucky enough to survive is worth taking seriously.

"Bang!"

A bug hit the glass next to Cong Xin.

Cong Xin is no longer surprised by this. Although the car is covered with a protective net, there will still be bugs that slip through the net and try to rush in.

Cong Xin rolled down the window, cleaned up the dead insect, turned around and looked at Xiaoxuan again, and suddenly thought of something.

"...Sister Qing, on the way you brought Xiaoxuan back, didn't Xiaoxuan wear protective clothing?"

Chen Qingqing, who was wiping Xiaoxuan's hair, paused.
