Chapter 109 Hairless Boy

The moment he entered, he saw Wang Da sitting at the dining table. His wife was also at the table. She was a middle-aged woman with a tanned complexion. She was hugging a five-year-old child in her arms. Other than that, there was a boy who was about 10 years old. The only thing special about this boy was that he had very little hair. It barely covered his scalp. It made people wonder why he did not shave his head completely.

“Quick, sit. These dishes were meticulously prepared by my wife. Don’t mind some simple food and tea.” Wang Da stood up and greeted them warmly.

After Su Shanshan nodded and settled Gu Jincheng down, she sat beside him.

Gu Jincheng’s gaze was fixed on the 10-year-old boy.

“Uncle, why are you looking at me?” The little boy was not afraid of strangers at all. He noticed Gu Jincheng’s gaze and asked directly.

“How old are you this year?” Gu Jincheng asked.

Su Shanshan looked at him in surprise. She had not expected him to be interested in a child.

The boy smiled and said, “I’m 11 years old this year.”

Gu Jincheng looked at him and stopped talking.

Wang Da hurriedly said, “This is my elder son, Wang Hu. He’s not very sensible. Come, come, quickly try the food.”

Su Shanshan frowned at the food on the table. It looked sumptuous—there were vegetables, meat, and soup. But the thought of what meat this was made her feel a little disgusted.

Gu Jincheng quietly picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. This surprised Su Shanshan. She turned to look at him.

Gu Jin Cheng gave Su Shanshan a reassuring look, indicating that she could eat.

Only then did Su Shanshan put a piece of meat into her mouth doubtfully. After chewing twice, her eyes lit up. It was pork.

Although it tasted a little bad, it was canned pork that had gone bad. In the apocalyptic era, no one cared if food had gone bad over time. As long as it could fill one’s stomach, even roots and bark were food.

,m As long as it was not human meat, Su Shanshan could accept it. After all, in her previous life, she had lived at the lowest level during the apocalypse. This deteriorated canned meat was already a delicacy that she did not dare to imagine in her previous life. Fortunately, human stomachs had evolved during the apocalypse. It was almost impossible for them to have diarrhea because they ate the wrong food.

After breakfast, Gu Jincheng suddenly suggested that they leave.

Su Shanshan knew that he must have a motive, so she did not say anything and followed him quietly.

At this moment, Wang Da made a strange move. He first looked carefully at Wang Hu before saying, “If Mr. Gu and Ms. Su want to pass through the road ahead, you should wait in the village for two days. There’s a monster there. He’s very strong. It will be dangerous for you to go now.”

“What did that monster look like?” Su Shanshan asked, pretending to be curious.

Wang Da looked at Wang Hu again and said, “It’s a monster with a baby face. It will lie in wait by the main road up ahead every few days. If someone passes by, it will eat him

up.”

Su Shanshan nodded and waited for Gu Jin Cheng’s answer.

“In that case, let’s stay for another two days. I’ll have to trouble Village Chief to take us in these two days,” Gu Jincheng said.

Wang Da was clearly very happy. He nodded repeatedly to show that they could stay as long as they wanted.

When Gu Jincheng and Su Shanshan returned to the room, Su Shanshan immediately said, “I think that Wang Da—” She saw Gu Jincheng’s gesture of silence and quickly stopped. She followed his finger and saw a shadow under the window.

“He’s very nice,” Su Shanshan corrected herself.

A hint of a smile flashed across Gu Jincheng’s eyes as he said, “Indeed, he’s willing to take us in even in these end times.”

Their conversation ended there. When the person outside heard that there was no more activity in the room, he left.

After seeing the shadow under the window leave, Su Shanshan heaved a sigh of relief and said softly, “Gu Jincheng.”

“I know that there’s a problem with Wang Da’s attitude towards Wang Hu. This Wang Hu is definitely not Wang Da’s son, and there’s a problem with his age,” Gu Jincheng said first.

“A dwarf,” Su Shanshan blurted.

A hint of admiration flashed across Gu Jincheng’s eyes.

Seeing that he had a plan in mind, Su Shanshan did not say anything else. In any case, with him around, any problem was not a problem. This was the reassurance Gu Jincheng gave her.
