Chapter 117 The Rooster's Revenge

“Are chickens so smart nowadays?”

Qianqian looked at the direction the chickens flew away with lingering fear.

"Don't call the little boy yet, let's get the corn first."

Who knows if there will be other chickens lying in ambush.

Ye Bai didn't care about the wound. It was nothing.

"I'd better tell him, or I'm afraid the child won't be able to help him."

"it is good"

This time Yebai and Qianqian went to the boy together.

"It's okay. I won't go far. I'll just test the corn here. If more chickens come, I'll hide in the hole."

The little boy said that the chicken would definitely not come back, he had experience.

Yebai and Qianqian looked at each other and said, "I also feel that there are no hidden chickens anymore."

Qianqian sent a message to Yebai, "The chickens in the space have been quiet since the rooster entered."

Qianqian guessed that the chickens she caught might be the rooster's family members, so the rooster did not follow the flock.

"Okay, let's just watch it."

Yebai didn't insist and started to break the corn.

With one machete and one corn cob, Ye Bai didn't need to measure it and put it into his own space.

There are so many chickens to feed in the shallow space, so I can’t bear to throw away the young corn. I put the old corn in the space and you can eat it if you want.

The tender corns are all at the top of the corn stalks, so it is not easy to cut them.

Yebai and Qianqian relied on their height and strength to directly cut off the top of the corn stalk, along with the corn and the stalk.

The little boy climbed up the corn stalk, peeled off a tender corn cob, and tested the corn kernels one by one. If he found one that passed the test, he would pick it out with a knife.

The sack played a big role in separating the prickly thorns on the corn stalks.

The cornfield was not small. Qianqian and Yebai each took one side, leaving a large open space for the little boy.

At this distance, there is no need to worry about the space being exposed.

After working for three hours in one go, Yebai wanted to continue, but Qianqian stopped him.

They can't even beat a group of chickens, and it would be dangerous for them to encounter other groups of animals at night.

"Why don't you break the corn off and test it again?"

When she came over to call the little boy, Qianqian discovered the boy's inefficient detection method.

The little boy grinned and waved his knife.

Can't cut it.

Then he hung his whole body on the corn cob, but the corn cob did not break.

Qianqian understood.

Yebai took the little boy down and said, "It's time to go home."

"it is good"

The little boy's waist was noticeably bulging.

Seeing the three corn cobs in Yebai's backpack, "You..."

Apparently surprised by the three whole corn cobs, "Are they all edible?"

"We don't have time to test it yet, let's take it back first."

Yebai explained.

The little boy looked at their clothes and said nothing.

Everyone understood what that meant, which was that everything was hidden, and the things in the backpack were a cover.

"Can you help me cut half of it?"

The little boy asked Qianqian embarrassedly.

Feeling that Yebai was a little fierce, he didn't dare to ask Yebai.

"No, we'll take you home. By the way, let me transfer one point to you. We don't have any sacks to return to you."

Yebai knew what the little boy was worried about.

"No, the sack is still usable."

The little boy was covered with sackcloth.

The three of them started walking back.

Yebai and Qianqian sandwiched the little boy in the middle, making them look like a family of three.

"What's your name? Why did you come so far alone?"

Qianqian heard the little boy's stomach rumbling, and in order to avoid embarrassment, she tried to find something to say.

Yebai and I haven’t done any testing yet, so we don’t know if there are any foods with medium or low radiation.

I couldn't give it to the little boy either.

"My name is Potato, my father and mother are both gone"

The little boy said this calmly.

In this world, what this couple has done is already very good, and we dare not ask for too much.

"Are you alone at home?"

In such a harsh environment, it is normal to have orphans.

"I have a younger sister who got sunburned. When she dies, I'll be all alone."

Speaking of his sister, the little boy felt a little sad.

He wanted to stay and take care of his sister, but without food, the brother and sister would die faster.

It's only a matter of time for him.

There were not many times when they could find edible food, and most of the time, the brothers and sisters had to eat highly radioactive food to fill their stomachs.

Now, it's just a struggle to survive.

The topic was a bit heavy and Qianqian didn't want to talk anymore.

"You want to help them?"

Yebai asked Qianqian on the light brain.

“I’m hesitant, not sure if I can help.”

"How about a little help?"

"Row"

After receiving Qianqian's reply, Yebai spoke.

"Potato, right? If you could trade your life for your sister's, would you do it?"

Qianqian:……

"I said you were so kind. Eating children? I can feed them to you, but can you save my sister? You're kidding me?"

Ye Bai:…….

Qianqian:……

"Does anyone here eat children?"

Yebai and Qianqian were shocked.

"Do you dare to take off your masks?"

Potato wanted to confirm his guess.

Yebai and Qianqian took off their sun hats.

It’s just that the brim of the hat is a little short. For convenience, the cloth on the face only has holes for the eyes, nose and mouth.

"Aren't you from the sea?"

Potato was a little bit unconvinced. After all, this couple didn't look like people from the West District.

"Do you think we look like sea people?"

“Only seafarers would mask their faces and trick children into coming back to eat.”

Potato was visibly relieved.

"How old are you?"

"Who told you that?"

Yebai and Qianqian asked Tudou at the same time.

"I'm ten years old now. My father told me that masked sea people would trick human children into taking them away to eat."

Potato looked at Qianqian seriously.

"Have you seen the Sea People?"

Qianqian is very interested in sea people.

"No, my father, he has seen it"

"What does it look like?"

"There are scales on the top of the head and cheeks, and there is an extra membrane between the fingers than we have."

"Have legs too?"

I have a feeling that Potato’s father was talking about the mermaid.

"I don't know. My father didn't see it, he only saw the face."

"Why would you just tie it up and eat it? Why would you lie to a child?"

Yebai didn't understand.

"You said you were a forced child and your taste is bad. If you were really a seaman, maybe my sister could survive."

Although it is a legend that sea people can save people, Potato still wants his sister to live.

"You said it yourself, Hairen is just trying to trick the child into eating. Why do you believe that Hairen can save your sister?"

Yebai was happy.

“Some hope is better than no hope”

Potato sighed, and Qianqian felt that at this moment, Potato looked especially like an old man.

"Then I'll give you a hope. I'll exchange your life for your sister's. Do you agree?"

Qianqian also wanted to see what Potato meant.

Yebai meant that he could help, but he didn't want the two of them to have to hide things because of them, which would be troublesome.

"sure"

Potato answered half-heartedly.

"and many more"

Qianqian stopped, pulled out a weed from the roadside, and smashed it with a stone.
