Due to starvation, the child's body was as thin as a bag of bones. His head was especially large due to his small hands, making him look as deformed as the aliens in the movies.
He was at the age where he loved to eat snacks, but he was crushed by life because of the disaster.
Looking at the lollipop that he used to eat frequently but had only seen a few times now, the child unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His eyes stared straight at the lollipop in Jiujiu's hand and said, "I want to eat it."
"Big sister will ask you a few questions. If you can answer them, big sister will not only give you a lollipop, but also a sweet bun. Do you want to eat it?" Jiujiu softly tempted.
The lollipop was already a luxury that the child did not even dare to think about. When he heard Jiujiu say that there was bread, the child's eyes instantly widened and he nodded repeatedly without thinking.
As long as he could be given a lollipop and bread, he would say anything.
Jiujiu naturally wanted to ask about the situation of Zheng Chen and Han Chen's family.
There were too many people here and it was not a good place to talk. Jiujiu gestured for the child to follow and brought him to the room that was allocated to the three of them in the base. She had Han Chen and Zheng Chen close the door and windows of the room while she created a space barrier. After making sure that no one could hear their conversation, she handed the lollipop in her hand to the child.
The child thought that he would only get food after answering the questions. He did not expect that Jiujiu would hand him a lollipop as soon as he appeared.
He was used to fighting to the death for food in the safety zone. This was the first time he met someone who was so easy to talk to. The child rubbed his hands together in discomfort and then carefully put the lollipop into the inner pocket of his clothes. After putting it away, he patted his chest to make sure that he really had the lollipop. Only then did he raise his head and his eyes shone with gratitude. "Big sister, I will tell you everything you want to know."
Just by looking at his appearance, one could tell that the child's life was not good. However, he did not eat the lollipop immediately after receiving it. Instead, he hid the lollipop in his clothes. One look and one could tell that he wanted to share it with his family.
Seeing that the child was so sensible, Jiujiu could not help but feel a little sad.
She was supposed to be a pampered child, but because of some people's desires, she became the victim of this disaster.
Jiujiu touched the child's cheek and took out a lollipop. She peeled off the wrapper and stuffed it into the child's mouth. "I still have a lot here. Eat it."
Jiujiu's taste was very high. Naturally, she chose the most expensive fruit juice lollipop.
The moment the lollipop came into contact with his mouth, the outer layer of sugar immediately turned into a bit of sweetness that flowed down his throat and into his stomach, bringing with it a hint of sweetness.
The child, who had not eaten candy for a long time, was so happy that her eyes instantly curved into two small crescent moons. As if she had eaten something delicious, she swallowed her saliva and said, "Sister, what do you want to know? Quickly ask."
He ate Jiujiu's candy, but Jiujiu didn't ask anything. The child felt very uneasy.
Jiujiu, the donor, was not in a hurry to ask, but the child was anxious.
What an obedient child.
Children all knew that if you gave them something, they must pay the price. It was such a simple principle, but some people just didn't understand.
Thinking of this, Jiujiu asked, "Do you know the Han family and the Zheng family?"
The child, who was licking the lollipop, was so shocked by Jiujiu's question that she bit the lollipop in half.
The child, who wanted to eat it slowly, looked at the broken lollipop and instantly felt distressed.
However, thinking of Jiujiu's question, the child answered Jiujiu's question honestly. "Yes."
Hearing the child say that, Han Chen and Zheng Chen's faces suddenly became very ugly.
Even a random child on the street knew about this matter. One could imagine how shocking this matter was.
The child was frightened by Zheng Chen and Han Chen's expressions, but soon whispered, "I heard from my uncle that the Wang family and the Chen family wanted to seize power, so they killed the other two families. But he didn't let me tell others. Now people outside are saying that they were bitten to death by zombies."
After the child finished speaking, he seemed to feel that it was inappropriate for him to say these words, so he added, "My uncle didn't let me tell others. He said that if others knew that I said these words, they would kill me."
A child's words carried no harm.
How could a child know what it meant to seize power?
But because of this, the child's words were particularly convincing.
Even a child knew that it was a seizure of power, so the truth was self-evident.
Han Chen and Zheng Chen had been wanting an answer, but when they heard it, their faces were very gloomy, especially Zheng Chen. His palm was directly pierced and blood flowed out.
Jiujiu raised her hand and patted Zheng Chen's shoulder to comfort him.
After getting the answer, Jiujiu gave the child a few lollipops and two packets of bread, indicating that he should leave.
However, the child didn't take the things that Jiujiu handed over. Instead, he stood there and looked at Jiujiu, stammering, and said pitifully, "Sister, can you send me back?"
The child lowered his head and drew circles on the ground with his feet. His voice was thin and small, "If others know that you gave me so many things, they will definitely snatch them away."
The child raised his head and looked at Jiujiu pitifully, asking, "Can I?"
Jiujiu looked at the child, who was looking at her pitifully. His eyes were filled with excitement and fear, and there were tears in them. At this moment, he was looking at her without blinking, like a little puppy begging her. He was very cute.
Jiujiu thought of the environment outside. The child carrying these things was no less than a child carrying a large block of gold walking on the road. Anyone could easily snatch all these things away.
And these foods might be more precious than gold to the child at this moment. He was very likely to protect them with his life.
At that time, not only would the food not bring good results to the child, but it might even bring bad luck to the child and cause him to lose his life.
Jiujiu nodded and motioned for the child to lead the way.
Seeing that Jiujiu agreed, the child was relieved. He handed the things in his hand to Jiujiu and whispered, "Sister, can you help me carry them first? I'm afraid that if someone sees them, they will snatch them from my house. "
Jiujiu didn't expect such a small child to be so smart. She nodded and took the child's hand to personally send him to his house.
When they reached home, the child's mother immediately climbed up from the floor and looked at Jiujiu, who was neatly dressed, with an extremely humble attitude.
The child didn't see his mother's humble and careful attitude in front of Jiujiu. He was still immersed in the joy of getting lollipops and bread for his family. He immediately went to his mother and handed the lollipop in front of her, saying happily, "Mom, what do you think this is?"
