Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 274

Chapter 274: Chapter 270: Does Zhang Shan Ni live here?

——————

With Zheng Changqing’s departure, Xie Jingchen didn’t feel more relieved; instead, he became even more vigilant, bracing himself for any emergencies that might arise.

By now, he could be sure that Ding Wangzhong couldn’t possibly be ’Scar’.

If Scar were so easy to lure out, he wouldn’t have remained hidden for over three years, with the authorities still unable to find him.

On the other hand, he intensified his investigation into Fatty and Tanning Temple.

Yet, for three consecutive calm days, not only did Ding Wangzhong leave no traces, but Zheng Changqing was also held up out of town, unable to return.

Today, while in hiding, he noticed the boy called Xiao Lei appearing in front of his little wife again, instantly heightening his alertness.

After all, his little wife had encountered this unusual family of four earlier than their military unit had.

Two men of contrasting builds, plus a pair of children.

The older child is ten years old; the younger one is only four. Despite being not much different in age from Xiao Si and Xiaoqi, they are both exceedingly bright and clever.

It seems that since Shanni started living in the county town, Xiao Lei has been visiting more frequently. Sometimes by himself, sometimes bringing along the girl called Little Yaya.

The children’s interactions with Xiuhua are very harmonious, as if they are genuinely seeking ’maternal love’ from her. Ever since Xiuhua became pregnant, she has indeed become fond of children, finding every child adorable.

Of course, she only watches them. Even with Xiao Si and Xiaoqi, she refuses to hold hands if they’re not clean, let alone hug any child that comes her way to show affection.

Perhaps because Xiao Lei and Little Yaya look too frail, even Xie Family’s parents, upon seeing the orphaned children, overflow with sympathy, not to mention Xie Jingzi, the little aunt.

Especially Xiaoqi and Xiao Si, knowing that the others are orphans, the four children seem especially close.

And Little Yaya is truly the most pitiable; despite her sweet smile every day, her arms were forcefully dislocated repeatedly since she was young in the orphanage, leading to habitual dislocations of her little elbows—

Even in moments of such pain, she could smile and say, "It’s okay," calmly letting her brother Xiao Lei ’set’ them back into place. She wouldn’t cry or even wince!

When Xie Jingzi and Xiaoqi first witnessed it, they cried rivers of tears.

In contrast, the subject of their concern, Little Yaya, appeared very unsettled, quietly comforting them in fear, saying that she’s doing fine now, that her brother and Uncle Fatty, Uncle Shou have been wonderfully kind to her. They not only rescued her from the bad people but also taught Xiao Lei how to set her bones properly. Her life is already very fortunate.
