Chapter 94 Choice
Ying Ziping briefly recounted what had happened that day.
The other children's expressions also changed constantly as Ying Ziping narrated.
"So, we now have thirty-six bottles of nutrient solution! Big brother! You're amazing!"
The seventh child was the first to run to the container of nutrient solution, his eyes sparkling with surprise.
"Big brother, I got half a bottle of nutrient solution too! Today, can we..."
The seventh sister didn't say it aloud, but everyone understood what she meant.
The child wants a full meal today.
You should know that normally one bottle of nutrient solution is the daily ration for ten of them.
After all, all they need to do is survive.
For them, being full is a luxury.
"Old Seven!"
The fourth one is a girl, and also the oldest girl in the group.
She strongly disagreed with the seventh child's idea.
"Now that we have so much food, we should store it away for future use."
She said earnestly.
"We can't have food every day. Have you forgotten what it's like to be hungry?"
The seventh brother fell silent.
She looked at Ying Ziping with her bright, sparkling eyes.
However, all I saw was my elder brother's smile.
"Seventh brother, not today. Maybe it will be possible in a few days."
The seventh brother pouted and sat back down.
The fourth one is still contributing.
"Brother, tell me, what kind of thing did that person in the car ask you to deliver to the Third Military Region? Could you show it to us?"
Upon hearing this, Ying Ziping took out the bag.
"Because the female boss told me that it couldn't be opened, I only did a simple study during the day, and I can only say that I had no clue what to do."
"It seems to contain some kind of blocky object, and when it's shaken, the sound is very dull."
The fourth brother picked up the bag and shook it; it was exactly as Ying Ziping had said.
She pinched it again.
The bag was very thick; through the bag, you could only feel a lump-like object.
I couldn't find anything else.
"Don't worry, after all, I'm being sent to the Third Military Region, which isn't a strange place. There shouldn't be any problems."
Seeing the worried expressions on his younger siblings' faces, Ying Ziping smiled and spoke casually.
Upon hearing this, the younger children stopped paying attention to the matter and began excitedly discussing how much food they would eat that night.
Although my older brother said we shouldn't eat until we're full, it's okay to eat a little more.
With surplus grain at home, they felt much more at ease.
However, the older children did not relax after hearing this.
However, they found it difficult to say many things in front of their younger siblings.
So they could only continue the meeting and report on what they had learned that day.
After it was over, Ying Ziping clapped his hands:
"Alright, let's eat!"
After a pleasant dinner, the younger children went off to enjoy their leisurely after-dinner time, while the older children held a secret meeting on their own.
"Brother, I'll go with you! If anything happens, you'll have someone to look after you!"
The second son spoke first.
"What are you thinking about!" Ying Ziping tapped his head lightly.
"It's nothing serious, don't think too much about it."
"Brother, don't try to fool us like children. Why would they give us so much stuff if they didn't have something to gain?"
When Ying Ziping turned around, the third and fourth brothers had also arrived.
He sighed, thinking to himself that he probably couldn't avoid it today.
“If I’m alright, I’ll naturally come back. If something happens, then you should take on the responsibilities of being an older brother.”
"What will happen to them if something happens to both of us?"
Ying Ziping looked at the children playing in the room.
The second son followed his gaze and fell silent as well.
"Then second brother, you stay here, I'll go with you."
The fourth brother spoke.
"What about the sixth, seventh, and ninth brothers?"
The fourth brother also fell silent.
Yes, on an individual level, no one is afraid of encountering an accident.
But what about the younger siblings?
The third brother sat silently to the side.
At times like these, he felt an intense hatred for his broken leg.
When begging, perhaps some people will be willing to give him more food because of his legs.
But at this time, he cannot come out to share everyone's burdens.
If his legs were to go with his older brother, they would probably only be a burden.
"Alright, stop arguing. This is settled."
Looking at his younger siblings, Ying Ziping spoke those words in an unquestionable voice.
Everyone understands the principle, but no one can get over this mental hurdle.
"We don't want these nutrient solutions anymore. Can we... not go?"
After a long silence, the fourth brother spoke in a small voice.
She has always been the one who holds the most firm principles among everyone.
But now, she suddenly doesn't want to do that anymore.
Whether they have enough to eat or not is not important; she just wants her brothers and sisters to stay together, or at the very least, to all survive.
She was picked up by her older brother and has been by his side since she can remember.
Now, someone suddenly tells her that her older brother might never come back, and she can't accept it at all.
"Alright, fourth brother."
Ying Ziping chuckled.
"If you promise someone something, you have to keep it. Isn't that what you always tell us?"
"This is payment. Once I receive payment, I have to do the work."
"If we simply refuse to go, what can they do?"
The third brother asked
"But what if they come back?"
Ying Ziping looked at the third brother, as if he were telling himself something.
“If they come back to cause trouble for me, it won’t just be my problem anymore; you might all be implicated as well.”
“I won’t take that risk.”
"Then let's leave! Let's get away from here!"
The second son retorted anxiously.
"Let's walk together until we reach a place where nobody knows us!"
"Where can we go from here?"
Ying Ziping sighed softly.
These homeless children already face a difficult life.
We finally found a place to stay, and we finally managed to get my younger siblings used to the environment.
If they leave, where can they go?
Ying Ziping experienced a life of constant displacement for six years, and he didn't want his younger siblings to suffer as well.
"Alright, don't worry. In the end, I might not even be in any danger."
"I'll be leaving tomorrow morning. You guys go out to find something to eat as usual, and don't let them notice anything unusual."
After much persuasion, Ying Ziping finally breathed a sigh of relief as he saw off his younger siblings.
No one saw that his hands were trembling slightly.
In truth, Ying Ziping was also terrified.
After all, he's just a twelve-year-old kid.
This is why Ying Ziping dared not let them eat their fill.
If I really can't come back, then the team going out will lose one yuan.
The food they had left was enough for them to get through that period of hardship.
Ying Ziping looked up at the night sky.
I hope everything goes well tomorrow.
