Bai Ying walked towards the door and found that there was indeed someone inside, a little boy who was as thin as he could be.
The door was only opened a crack, and the little boy looked at her timidly.
"You want this?"
Bai Ying asked.
Shh~
The little boy made a small, whispering gesture and nodded vigorously.
Bai Ying looked at the water for washing the pot in her hand, and then looked at the skinny little boy. The little boy held out a small iron basin to her, his eyes full of pleading.
Bai Ying couldn't bear it and poured the pot washing water to him. The little boy's hands were trembling as he held the small iron basin. The basin was full of black food residues stuck on it. It had not been washed for many days. When he looked up, Bai Ying seemed to catch a glimpse of two feet moving in the corner of the room.
"That's my sister, she's sick"
The little boy spoke in a voice as low as it could go, as if he was very afraid of the person on the other side of the wooden cabinet.
Wei Junhao saw Bai Ying coming over with the washed pots and pans in a sullen manner, so he asked, "Xiao Bai Ying, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Ying told Wei Junhao and others what had just happened.
She knew that there were people like this everywhere in the apocalypse, and it was extremely difficult for adults to survive, let alone children. She also knew that she could do nothing about this kind of thing. After all, she was just a person who made a living by relying on supernatural powers.
But she still wanted to be sad for a while, because the little boy's eyes were so pitiful.
"Is there anyone else in there?"
Zheng Shu was a little surprised. Aren't all the people here sleeping on the big bunk bed over there? Why are there two children here?
"Maybe that sister is sick?"
Bai Ying said uncertainly.
For this kind of thing, everyone just sighed silently and planned to move on. Just when everyone was about to take a break, they smelled the aroma of meat from behind the wooden cabinet.
The aroma of meat was so strong that Xu Mingliang, who was already full, couldn't help but stick his head out to look outside.
"Wow, they are cooking meat. I told you, the people in that village live much better than us. Such a big pot, full of meat."
Xu Mingliang licked his lips enviously and said that he had sold pork for many years and had never smelled such a delicious meat aroma.
"But there don't seem to be any living animals in this village."
Hang Wenshan said.
"The meat smells so good, it's obviously not domestic. It might be a wild boar or something hunted nearby."
Xu Mingliang gave Hang Wenshan a cold look, saying that he was really ignorant.
Hang Wenshan shrugged his shoulders and continued to rest against the wall. They were all full anyway, and now he felt a little sick of the aroma of meat.
The conversation between the two also reached Wei Junhao, Su Jin and others.
Su Jin pretended not to hear and said to Bai Ying, "Let's sleep here tonight. Qiqi's space has a folding bed, and I've also separated an empty space here."
Bai Ying's attention was quickly diverted. She looked in the direction of Su Jin's finger and saw three small beds that had been made up placed in a low wooden cabinet. Although the cabinet was a bit low, it completely blocked other people's sight.
"Okay, thank you Su Jin, you guys are so thoughtful. I almost forgot I'm a girl."
Bai Ying admired the Xinyu team so much. When she went out with her teammates before, she always regarded herself as a man and often squeezed together with a group of male and female teammates to rest. She didn't expect that Su Jin was so considerate to reserve a seat for her, which made her very touched.
"You're welcome. It's only natural that we look after each other on the road."
Su Jin said with a smile.
Except for Han Yue and Wei Junhao who had their own sleeping bags, Lu Hao, Lu Guanhai and Lian Jiyue also slept on the folding beds that Su Jin brought out. The three men slept outside the low cabinet, completely protecting Su Jin and the others.
Outside a long row of wooden cabinets, more than forty people were holding steaming hot meat soup in their hands, eating with relish.
There were some noodle dumplings in the meat soup, which they hadn't eaten for a long time. They were also made by Zhao Hua's mother, Aunt Zhao, whom Brother Chen had just asked him to make.
"Mom, I miss the dumpling soup you used to make. It's just as delicious as it is now."
Zhao Hua praised his mother while eating.
Aunt Zhao also held an enamel bowl in her hand. Looking at her son eating happily, a rare kind smile appeared on her wrinkled face. She was the chef, so she had just given Zhao Hua a few more pieces of meat.
"Aunt Zhao, how much inventory do we have left?"
Brother Chen also asked while eating.
"No, no, there will be nothing to eat tomorrow."
Aunt Zhao took another sip of the oily broth and replied.
"That little girl is still alive? She's really strong."
"Brother Chen, look..."
A man behind Brother Chen asked in a low voice, but Brother Chen looked thoughtful and did not answer.
"Also, the people who came to stay here today don't look like ordinary people. Brother Chen and I saw that they had boxes full of food."
Another man said with an envious tone.
Brother Chen glared at the man who had spoken and angrily shouted in a low voice, "Shut up! Those people are obviously capable. They must be high-level psychics. If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!"
He was also jealous of the supplies of those people, but those people were all dressed decently, and even the women and children were fair and tender, which showed that the men protected them very well.
Although there are some people with special abilities among this group of villagers, the highest level is still Zhao Hua's level three speed system. He is not willing to take the risk of snatching supplies from those people.
"Brother Chen, we understand. I'm just envious. That's all I'm saying."
The man who had just spoken quickly apologized.
"Come with me to see that little girl later."
Brother Chen said after drinking the last mouthful of broth.
It was already completely dark at this time. Bai Ying went out of the low cabinet for a while and then came back, muttering something angrily.
"What's wrong?"
Su Jin, who was making the bed, asked.
Bai Ying was just looking for someone to complain to, so she told Su Jin about the brother and sister inside the wooden door.
"I just went to see the little boy again. Those people didn't share any meat with him and his sister. I was so happy just now, thinking they would have food to eat. And the little boy said that he and his sister don't eat meat. What a sensible child he is!"
Su Jin had previously learned from Mao Qiqi that there were two other people in the room over there, but she didn't expect that they were two children?
"This kind of thing is very common. We are just staying here for one night. There is no point in quarreling with those people now. Just give this to them. This is all we can do to help you."
Su Jin took out two steamed buns from his backpack and said to Bai Ying.
She could see Bai Ying's anger, and she was afraid that if she didn't put an end to this matter, Bai Ying would have trouble sleeping tonight.
