Chapter 10. (2/2)

The child quickly hugged them tighter, saying, “I want them.” He wolfed them down as if he hadn’t eaten in a long time.

Bai Qing Qing couldn’t help but remind him, “Eat slowly, don’t choke.”

The child glared at her with his dark eyes. He wouldn’t choke. Humph, bad woman, don’t think you can bribe him with a bag of snacks. He just heard her say she was going to kill his dog.

Bai Qing Qing took out some dried meat from her spatial storage and teased the dog beside her.

She noticed that both the child and the dog were unusually thin, wondering if it was due to the apocalypse or if the family was simply poor.

Bai Qing Qing asked through the window, “Little one, what’s your name? Where did your family go?”

“Sister,” the child said sweetly after eating, “My name is Abao¹. Can you pretend you’ve never seen me before?”

“Hmm?” Bai Qing Qing asked suspiciously, “Why?”

Abao’s big eyes were filled with terror: “My parents said there are monsters outside. They told me to stay inside and not go out, or they’d get captured.”

Because there are zombies outside, they don’t let the child out?

“Who are you?”

A frightened voice came, and a woman dressed in foreign attire appeared, rushing over and scolding, “Abao, have you forgotten what your mother said! Go inside now!”

Abao turned pale with fright and hurriedly disappeared into the room.

Bai Qing Qing explained to her, “My name is Bai Qing Qing. I’m a stranger who came to the village yesterday. I meant no harm…”

Suddenly, Abao’s mother knelt down before her, crying, “Sister, I beg you, please don’t tell anyone about seeing Abao at home.”

Bai Qing Qing frowned slightly and leaned forward, saying, “Get up first.”

“If you don’t agree, I won’t get up.” Abao’s mother’s face was full of fear and pleading. “Sister, I beg you, I can give you food, please don’t tell anyone.”

“I don’t need it.” Bai Qing Qing’s spatial storage was overflowing with food; she had no reason to ask Abao’s mother for food.

Abao’s mother actually kowtowed, crying, “Please, please…”

Bai Qing Qing had no choice but to say, “How about this, give me an ear of corn, and I’ll keep it a secret for you.”

“Okay, okay.” Abao’s mother wiped her tears as she got up, glanced around, opened the door, went inside, and quickly found an ear of corn. “Sister, take this corn, please keep it a secret for us.”

Bai Qing Qing took the corn and nodded, “I will.” After a pause, she asked again, “Is your husband called Awang?”

“Besides Abao’s father, do you have any siblings?”

Abao’s mother shook her head: “There’s only my husband and me at home. Sister, don’t wander around the village, go back quickly.”

Bai Qing Qing left Abao’s house with the corn. After walking a few meters, she noticed Dahuang following at her feet, looking up at the corn cob in her hand.

She chuckled, “Dahuang, you want some corn too?”

Dahuang barked twice, drooling, no longer caring about its pride as a dog.

Bai Qing Qing refused to give it to him: “I can’t give you this. I’ll feed you some dried meat later.”

She led Dahuang to the remaining two households in the village, but neither was the target she was looking for, so she had to turn back.

“Qing Qing.” A voice came from the left.

After wandering around all day, she finally saw familiar faces. She breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Xiao Yang and Fu Chen, and smiled: “Brother, Xiao Yang.”

Fu Chen was dressed differently today, wearing exotic clothes that gave him the air of a gloomy, tyrannical foreign ruler.

Clearly, he had also joined the ranks of those doing hard labor.

Bai Qing Qing glanced at his shoulder, her expression showing concern: “Brother, does your shoulder hurt?”

Fu Chen replied calmly, “No, it doesn’t hurt.”

Xiao Yang pretended to be in pain, clutching his shoulder: “Sister Qing Qing, why are you only concerned about Brother Fu? My shoulder hurts too!”

Bai Qing Qing looked at him: “Does it hurt a lot? Do you want some medicine?”

She also had a lot of medical supplies stored in her spatial storage.

Fu Chen glanced at Xiao Yang indifferently. The chestnut-haired boy, sensing the danger, scratched his head and said, “No, no, I was just joking.”

“Didn’t I tell you not to wander around after entering the village?” Fu Chen frowned and said coldly.

Bai Qing Qing’s clear eyes were filled with worry: “Brother, I was worried about you, that’s why I came out to look for you.” She handed him some corn, “Here, have this, it’s very sweet.”

“No need, you eat it yourself.” Fu Chen glanced at the approaching patrol team and said, “Go back quickly, don’t come out at night.”

“Okay.” Bai Qing Qing pretended to be disappointed and lowered her head.

Fu Chen’s eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a low voice, “We’ll leave in a couple of days.”

“I know.” Bai Qing Qing turned and walked back.

A moment later, she stood solemnly halfway up the mountain, observing the village’s terrain, thinking that she must find the target by tomorrow, otherwise it would be too late.

Footnote:

1. “Abao” or “A Bao” is not a conventional Chinese given name for children, but rather an affectionate nickname or term of endearment commonly used for young children or infants. The character 宝 (bǎo), when used independently in a formal given name, signifies “precious” or “treasure” and is applicable to both boys and girls. “A Bao” (or simply “Bao”) may function as a phonetic rendering or an anglicized abbreviation of this nickname. In naming practices, it is predominantly employed as a pet name, analogous to terms such as “baby” or “sweetheart” in English. ↩︎
