Chapter 11. (1/2)

Even Siblings Won’t Work

​

Bai Qing Qing returned to the old woman’s house. Dahuang glanced at her a few times by the roadside before darting away down the village dirt road.

​

That evening, after dinner, Bai Qing Qing lay in bed, pondering the strange occurrences in the village. Suspecting that Abao might be involved based on what she had observed, she resolved to seek him out again the next day for answers.

​

The next morning, after a warm welcome from the Old woman and a bowl of porridge, she followed the path she had taken the day before, turning left and right until she arrived at Abao’s house.

​

Abao’s parents were nowhere to be seen. The courtyard was quiet. Dahuang, lying on the ground, sensed the scent of a stranger and immediately looked around warily.

​

When it saw Bai Qing Qing appear in the yard, it immediately wagged its tail obsequiously.

​

Bai Qing Qing took a dog bone from her spatial storage and let him chew on it. She walked to the door of the hall and gently knocked, “Abao.”

​

She called “Abao” two or three times before there was movement at the window. Little Abao lay on the windowsill, his grape-like eyes looking at her.

​

“Why are you here again?” he whispered.

​

Bai Qing Qing leaned closer, smiling sweetly, and said, “Don’t you want to see me?”

​

She noticed the red mark on the child’s face, slightly startled, and asked, “Did your mother hit you?”

​

Abao lowered his eyes and pouted, “My mother hit me because I was disobedient. Sister, you should leave quickly. If my mother finds out I’m talking to you, she’ll scold me again.”

​

Bai Qing Qing took out a bag of dried plums and handed it to him, asking, “Abao, how about we make a secret deal?”

​

“No,” Abao covered his mouth, “I don’t want your things.”

​

Bai Qing Qing persistently continued to offer things—delicious dried fruits and vegetables, and osmanthus-flavored cola—each item was incredibly tempting to the child.

​

“If your sister doesn’t tell, and you don’t tell Mom, no one will know.”

​

Bai Qing Qing put on a pitiful expression and said, “Sister just wants to ask you a few questions, okay?”

​

Abao blinked: “What do you want to ask?”

​

Seeing his softened attitude, Bai Qing Qing stuffed all the snacks into his food, asking as she did so, “Where have all the children in the village gone?”

​

“I don’t know.” Abao hugged the snacks, his pupils filled with fear, and said, “Mom said they were all taken away by monsters, and told me to stay home obediently, or I’d be taken away too.”

​

He looked sad, sniffling, and said, “Big Fatty was taken away too, boohoo, I’ve been waiting for so long…” Didn’t see him. “

​

Bai Qing Qing frowned slightly and continued to ask: “Then do you know where they were taken?”

​

“I don’t know.” Abao pursed his lips, with tears in his eyes: “Sister, mother said it’s very dangerous outside, can you help me protect Xiaohua?”

​

Bai Qing Qing knew that he was talking about the dog, and said, “Of course.” She named several Awangs that the old lady had told her, and asked, “Are there anyone else named Awang in the village?”

​

Abao tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: “My brother is also called Awang. Sister, I haven’t seen my brother for a long time. I don’t know where he went.”

​

“I miss him.” Abao cried.

​

Yesterday, Abao’s mother never said that her man’s name was Awang. Maybe Brother Abao was the person she was looking for.

​

“Abao.” Bai Qing Qing warned before leaving: “Sister will help you find Brother Awang. Go back and hide quickly. Don’t come out unless Mom and Dad call you.”

​

“Yeah.” Abao nodded. Bai Qing Qing left Abao’s house and had just reached the path down the mountain when she ran into Hu Zi, whom she had met upon entering the village.

​

As soon as Hu Zi saw her, he immediately came over and said, “So you’re here! Come with me quickly.”

​

“Where are you going?” Bai Qing Qing didn’t follow immediately.

​

Hu Zi said, “The clan chief is looking for you.”

​

Bai Qing Qing followed him to the ancestral hall in Zhou Village. Everyone except Bai Tian Tian was gathered there.

​

The men, who had been so spirited before, now looked somewhat dejected, as if their energy had been drained. Even their captain, Fu Chen, was no exception.

​

Seeing Bai Qing Qing appear, Shen Mingxuan’s peach blossom eyes flashed with indifferent coldness, his handsome face expressionless.

​

Bai Qing Qing glanced around the ancestral hall. This time, there were many more people than when she entered the village. There were not only men carrying weapons, but also several elderly women looking at her with the eyes of someone appraising goods.

​

These people must hold high positions in Zhou Village. In the past two days, she’d discovered that Zhou Village still retained many feudal ideas and customs.

​

An elderly man with white hair sat on a high stool, stroking his long beard, and said, “I called you here today because I have something to ask you.”

​

“You’ve been in the village for a few days now. Do you want to leave or stay?”

​

Bai Qing Qing didn’t speak, looking at Fu Chen.

​

The three-day deadline had not yet passed. Fu Chen probably wouldn’t say he wanted to leave; she still had a mission to complete.

​

Fu Chen said, “Clan Chief, there are so many infected zombies outside. Going out is just suicide. We really like Zhou Village. We hope you can make an exception and let us stay.”

​

Seemingly to show how much he wanted to stay, his tone was urgent: “As long as you approve our stay, we’ll do anything.”

​

In reality, Zhou Village was a place where there was no way out. Outsiders who entered Zhou Village would have their money confiscated, then be forced to work in the village before mysteriously disappearing.

​

In their previous life, the Thunder Squad almost perished in Zhou Village, which was also shrouded in strange secrets. Despite checking the food, they still fell into a trap and were controlled.

​

Bai Tian Tian hadn’t been found yet; the Thunder Squad couldn’t just leave like this.

​

The clan chief was pleased with Fu Chen’s words, stroking his white beard and smiling, “Young men, I only let you into the village because you look kind.”

​

“Of course you can stay, but…” he said, feigning difficulty, “Our village doesn’t have much food left. If you stay, you’ll have to work with the team. Can you endure hardship?”

​

Xiao Yang grinned, revealing his white teeth, and said with a grin, “What can’t we grown men do? Clan chief, you can arrange work anytime. We definitely won’t work for free.”

​

The clan chief laughed heartily, “Good lad, if you say that, then I’m relieved.”
