Rebirth: The Doomsday Solitary Favorite Chapter 226
Chapter 226 Where the Child Belongs
Han Jiaojiao saw the name of the photo printer with sharp eyes and ticked it. She was immediately happy, thinking that it must be used for taking photos.
"Hey? You have collected so many?" Yan Xiao's head came over at some point. He glanced at the list on the paper and pouted, "It's so boring... I haven't done anything yet, and this job is done by Brother Han alone."
Han Jiaojiao raised her little face proudly, "Who said my brother is awesome."
Yan Xiao was speechless: "Jiaojiao, can't you say something new? Flattering also needs to be original."
"You are the one flattering! I am speaking from the heart, okay?"
"Then your true words are monotonous enough..."
The two were arguing when Zhou Xiaoliang's voice rang out: "Look, there is a book city over there!"
Everyone turned their heads and saw a square building with a statue of Confucius standing in front of it and a few golden inscriptions next to it: Xinfeng Book Building.
What can be in the library building? Of course, it is books.
Books are definitely good things.
Although they can neither be eaten nor drunk, in the long run, they symbolize the treasure house of human knowledge and the inheritance of culture.
When people encounter difficult problems, it is a habit since ancient times to flip through books to find answers. However, although books are precious, they are also the easiest to be forgotten.
For example, the army entered the city to plunder supplies, but turned a blind eye to the library building. They took away food, water, and fuel, but they didn't remember to take these books.
--Everything in the library building is still the same as before the end of the world, except that a thick layer of dust has accumulated on the cover of each book.
Han Jiaojiao turned to a few newspapers, the date of which was still in October last year. Obviously, the printing and production stopped after the alien outbreak. She thought that she didn't know when she could see new newspapers in the future, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Yan Xiao didn't know what book he was looking at, and he burst into laughter. Zhou Xiaoliang was curious and leaned over to read it, and the two began to laugh together.
Han Jiaojiao asked: "What are you reading?"
Yan Xiao waved the book in his hand and replied: "Three hundred questions about raising chickens to get rich, what to do if the chickens don't poop, what to do if the chickens poop too much, what to do if the chickens poop too little, what to do if the chickens poop black, what to do if the chickens poop green, chickens poop..."
"Is there no problem with not pooping!" Han Jiaojiao couldn't listen any more and interrupted Yan Xiao.
Yan Xiao laughed, "Yes, what if the chickens don't lay eggs, what if the chickens lay too few eggs, what if the chickens don't lay eggs in the designated place, what if the chickens lay eggs with black spots, chickens..."
Han Jiaojiao covered her ears and ran to Han Yi and said, "Brother, take Yan Xiao's book away and don't let him read it!"
Yan Xiao in the distance: "Hey! You can't play like this, why are you complaining to your parents again..."
Han Yi looked upstairs, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "There are people upstairs."
"Ah?"
The few people who were originally loose became alert and tightened their weapons.
Han Jiaojiao leaned against Han Yi and whispered, "Brother, how many people are there?"
"One, a superpower, but looks very small... probably a child."
Child?
Everyone looked at each other.
How could there be a child in such a place? This Xinfeng City is an empty city. Is there any survivors?
"Let's go up and take a look first." Han Yi said in a light tone. It seems... there seems to be no danger upstairs?
Because of Han Yi's ability, they found the child effortlessly.
It was a little boy who looked only six or seven years old, skinny, and his clothes had not been washed for a long time, dirty and old!
He huddled under a row of bookshelves and slept in a daze. When he was awakened by Yan Xiao, his eyes suddenly opened wide and his face was full of panic.
"Don't eat me... Uncle, I'm not delicious..."
Han Jiaojiao's eyes suddenly became hot. She held back her tears, took out the snacks on her body, and carefully handed them to the pale and skinny little boy in front of her, coaxing softly: "We don't eat people, and you are so thin, you don't look delicious at all."
The little boy looked at the snacks in Han Jiaojiao's hand, and didn't dare to take it for a long time. He hesitated and said: "Then you... do you want to feed me a little fatter before eating?"
Han Jiaojiao was stunned.
Just as she was in a daze, the little boy suddenly grabbed the snacks in her hand with courage, and ate them in big mouthfuls, saying vaguely while eating: "Don't eat me before you fatten me up... I'm really not delicious..."
Han Jiaojiao hurriedly said: "No, no, don't eat you, don't worry, uncles and aunts won't eat you."
"Kid, why are you here alone? Where are your parents?" Yan Xiao asked him.
The little boy paused for a moment, his expression a little dull, "... Dad was eaten, Mom... was also eaten..."
Zhou Xiaoliang couldn't help but say: "Why don't the parents of this child take the child to a safe base? What's the point of hiding in the city? There are alien species everywhere here. They all come out at night. It's not safe at all."
"Maybe the person died before the army rescued him." Han Yi said, "No one took care of the child. He hid in the library building by himself, and no one found him."
Han Jiaojiao felt more and more uncomfortable after hearing this, and looked at him gently Looking at the little boy, she asked, "Are you always here alone? What do you do when you want to eat?"
"There is a small shop downstairs, but I have already eaten all the food there... There is also a small shop selling delicious food across the street, I dare not go to the one that is farther away..."
Han Jiaojiao pulled Han Yi's arm and looked at him pitifully, "Brother, let's take him back."
Such a young child, even if he can find food by himself, but the ice age is coming soon, he will definitely be frozen to death here...
Han Yi frowned slightly. Of course there is no problem taking him back, but who will take care of him after taking him back? If he asked Han Jiaojiao to take care of him, he would definitely not agree. He didn't want to disturb their world of two because of an inexplicable little kid.
Yan Xiao praised and said, "Didn't Dr. Zhou and Sister Yu have not had children in the past few years? Why not let Sister Yu take care of the baby first? I think Sister Yu likes children very much. Look at how she pampers Tiantian, she is closer to her than her own mother."
"Then let's take it back and ask Sister Yu what she thinks." Han Jiaojiao nodded, "If it's not convenient for them, I'll take care of it first..."
"No." Han Yi refused flatly, "Take it back and give it to Sister Yu. If they don't want to raise it, let them first-"
His eyes lingered between Yan Xiao and Zhou Xiaoliang, then pointed at Yan Xiao, "Let Yan Xiao raise it first."
Yan Xiao was stunned.
He was about to say something, but saw Han Yi's face suddenly sank. Yan Xiao was frightened and thought: I haven't said my refusal yet, and you're giving me a look. Isn't it too early?
Han Yi didn't say anything, but made a gesture to silence, then slowly walked to the window and looked down.
Several people immediately knew that something was wrong, so they all lowered their voices and tiptoed to the window to observe the situation.
After waiting for more than a minute, alien figures began to emerge one after another at one end of the road, one after another, more and more, and they moved in the same direction in an orderly manner...
"...Why are there so many?" Yan Xiao covered his mouth in disgust and lowered his voice, "Have all the aliens in the city emerged? The sun hasn't even set yet..."
