Chapter 127 Homeless Children
Chapter 127 Homeless Children
Xiaoxiao dragged her still aching body and tried hard to touch the light bulb by the wall.
As soon as he opened it, he heard a flurry of chattering mouths directed at the potato chips in his hand.
The only dim light in the dark room was on, illuminating a group of young faces.
And the hunger and paleness that were visible on each of their faces.
But at this moment, he looked at the potato chips in his little hand with a look of longing.
"Don't worry, everyone gets a share. One piece each!"
Under the children's eager gaze, Xiaoxiao tore open the bag of potato chips, and the aroma of potato chips instantly wafted out of the bag.
The whole house smells like this!
"Wow, that smells so good! I thought I'd never get to eat potato chips again..."
"Potato chips... they're so delicious! I'm saving half for next time!"
"..."
Although the children were a little impatient, they still forced themselves to let Xiaoxiao share one piece each.
Until the end, there was no share left for her own sister.
Xiaoxiao looked at the children who had finished tasting the potato chips with some embarrassment, and then looked at her sister lying beside the bed.
At this moment, a little boy about the same size as Xiaoxiao suddenly came over.
However, because he hadn't eaten a full meal for a long time, he was not even as tall as Xiao Xiao.
The little boy quietly divided his potato chips into three halves, took out two halves and handed them to Xiaoxiao, saying, "Xiaoxiao, you didn't eat any either. I'm not hungry. This one is for you, and the other one is for your sister."
Xiaoxiao wanted to refuse, but the little boy had already quickly eaten his portion and strongly refused to accept her potato chips.
Xiaoxiao had no choice but to feed the remaining two potato chips to her sister.
After eating potato chips, the children went to bed obediently.
Since there is no food to eat, the best way is to sleep all the time. After all, this way you won’t feel hungry.
After turning off the lights, in the dim room.
Xiaoxiao tiptoed to the little boy and spoke to him in a low voice.
"Thank you, Xiao Cong. Actually, I just ate a piece of bread outside...but my uncle kicked me first."
Xiao Cong comforted her, "It must be painful, right?"
Xiao Xiao shook her head, "It doesn't hurt, Xiao Cong. After he kicked me, he still gave me food. I can bear this little pain."
In the room where her expression could not be seen at all, Xiaoxiao only heard Xiaocong's somewhat angry words.
"Xiaoxiao, let's run out when we get a chance. I heard there are simple missions in the mission hall of the base that even kids like us can do! When we have base coins, we can eat delicious food."
Xiaocong spoke with high morale, but Xiaoxiao didn't say a word.
If she wanted to run away, she would definitely be able to escape.
But if she took her younger sister with her, she wasn't sure she could escape without being noticed by the adults.
Maybe...that kind sister today...
"Xiao Cong..."
Xiaoxiao pondered for a while and seemed to want to say something, but she heard the sound of regular breathing coming from beside her.
Xiao Cong had fallen asleep leaning against the edge of the bed.
In this dim room, Xiaoxiao finally slowly closed her eyes.
...
At this moment, in a small villa in District 4.
In an indescribable room.
The weathered middle-aged man from before took out eight loaves of bread with a smile and said, "Brothers, look at what I got today."
This attracted the other two men sitting on the sofa.
Seeing the eight clean loaves of bread in front of him, one man even pushed away the woman in his arms who was in the way.
Ignoring the woman's pain and complaints, he focused all his attention on the bread.
"Oh my god, Third Brother, what's wrong with you today? Did you get lucky?"
"Yeah, I remember you went out with a few crappy books today, didn't you?"
"No way, a few old books can be exchanged for so much bread, right?"
"Third brother, tell us quickly, have you met the legendary Virgin Mary?"
The weathered middle-aged man, the third brother, was in high spirits at the moment.
"Old Four, you're indeed so smart! But I really didn't expect to have such a rich harvest this time."
The fourth brother said helplessly, "Don't keep us in suspense! Tell us about it quickly."
The third brother said to him with some displeasure, "You're so impatient! Fine, I'm in a good mood today, so just tell me what you want to say."
Then the third brother started talking about the big jerk he met at the market today...
The two men in the room sighed after hearing this.
"Hey, I told you. The path we chose is definitely the right one. Look at the third brother going out today, isn't that the best example?"
"Okay, okay, you guys are really foresighted. When we first brought those people along, I never thought this would be a feasible route!"
The fourth brother took a bite of the soft bread and said, "But I think it will only work if the girl is obedient. As for those who want to bite back at me, we brothers will find a way to deal with them."
This bread is very delicious, and the outer packaging bag looks very clean!
He thought to himself, this person must be well-stocked.
This further proves that their decision to come to the Z City base was absolutely correct.
At this time, one of the tall and thin men spoke up, "Old Four, you've been slacking off all day. What are you talking about? Actually, I already had plans."
The fourth child was still savoring the delicious taste of the bread, but he lost his composure when he heard what he said.
"Okay, second brother, you've done something secretly. But does big brother know about this?"
The second brother, however, quietly made a riddle, "You are usually the smartest one. Do you think that big brother knows this?"
The third brother spread his hands and said, "Alright, second brother, since you said so, eldest brother must know! But speaking of which, why don't you see eldest brother?"
The fourth brother replied, "Just before you came back, it seemed like my eldest brother had to go out on some urgent matter. I have to save one of these breads for him!"
"Third brother, you have done something great. This bread smells so good! I will definitely reward you when the eldest brother comes back."
"Oh, this damn apocalypse! It's been so long since I've eaten such delicious bread!"
The third brother wanted to say something, but he heard a familiar voice coming from outside the door.
"Don't worry, we're all decent people here! These children are also poor orphans. They are all thanks to you today. It's a great blessing for them to be able to go back with you."
"Okay, I understand. Take me there to have a look first."
"Don't worry, I have a few good brothers. I'll call them to go with you."
"Okay, we'll wait for you here."
The former was obviously the voice of their eldest brother, but they didn't recognize the person behind him.
But seeing how respectful my brother is to this person, he must not be a simple person.
Considering what the second brother just said, could this person be?
