Chapter 961 - 953: Just Strangers
He spoke with a calm expression, as if the person who died wasn’t his mother, just a random stranger.
"And after that, have you been alone all this time?" Xiao Yifei asked.
"Yeah, I’ve been alone. As long as I don’t offend those people, don’t fight with them for food, they pretend as if they don’t see me. So I can only come out at this time to find something to eat, otherwise, sooner or later, I will starve to death," the little boy said.
Xiao Yifei thought, these words don’t sound like something a seven or eight-year-old child would say. Could it be that he was wrong in his judgment? So he asked, "How old are you now?"
"I should be thirteen, I’m not quite sure. Ever since my mom died, no one has told me my birthday anymore. The days here are so dull, and I don’t even know how long I’ve been here," the little boy said.
"You’re already thirteen. No wonder. Are you very hungry? Eat something quickly!" Xiao Yifei said, pointing to the things in the little boy’s arms.
No wonder he looks so small. Here, even basic food and clothing needs can’t be met. Kids are in a growth phase, so naturally, they look much weaker compared to their peers outside.
"Actually, I was born here." The little boy looked at the sky and suddenly said.
Xiao Yifei glanced at him but said nothing. The little boy continued, "My mom was pregnant when she was put in here. A few months after coming in, I was born. I’ve always wanted to see what the world outside the gate is like, if it’s the same as inside. You came from outside, right? Can you tell me what it’s like out there?"
"The outside world is similar to here, it also has many buildings, and there are trees..." Xiao Yifei suddenly realized that it’s too hard for him to describe the outside world to someone who has never lived in a normal society. He didn’t know where to start.
