He could afford ten kilograms of millet, but he couldn't take a five or six-year-old girl with him on his escape.

Seeing the manager rushing to the woman, although there was regret and sympathy in the eyes of the others, no one wanted to cause trouble, so no one stepped forward.

Xuan Haixiu was a little panicked. He clenched his fists. If a conflict really broke out, he hesitated whether to step forward to help the poor mother and daughter.

But at this moment, a hint of dark green appeared on the corner of the street.

He was a tall black man wearing a thick military coat and a military cap.

The manager held a stick, pointed at the woman in red and walked straight over.

When Xuan Haixiu noticed the black officer, he had already rushed over here!

The wind lifted up one corner of his coat, and his tall body rushed to the manager like lightning. Xuan Haixiu only felt a flash before his eyes, and saw the manager being kicked out like a kite!

"boom!"

The manager fell into the garbage pile on the roadside, groaning in pain.

Xuan Haixiu couldn't help but feel moved. He looked at the black officer. The black officer walked up to the woman in red and said to her in a firm voice:

"I understand! Please leave her to me."

As he spoke, he took out a food exchange voucher issued by the top leaders of Kajie State from his pocket and handed it to the woman.

A faint light appeared in the woman's eyes. She glanced at the officer, forcefully pulled the little girl's hand out of hers, and pushed her in front of the officer.

"Could you please wait here for me for a while?"

the woman said.

The officer nodded, and then the woman turned and left.

The little girl looked at her mother's back. She didn't cry or make a fuss, because she knew at this moment that only in this way could she survive.

Xuan Haixiu felt a mixture of emotions when he heard the vendor behind him sigh and say, "Finally, I've entrusted my daughter to someone else!"

Xuan Haixiu was a little curious, so he asked, "Who is she? She doesn't look very poor, why did she sell her daughter so cheaply?"

The vendor glanced at Xuan Haixiu and said, "Her husband was an officer who died in battle on the front lines six months ago. She was also diagnosed with cancer and doesn't have many days left to live. That's why she's been here all this time, hoping to find a good family for her daughter."

Xuan Haixiu felt a little sad, but asked in confusion: "Since you are giving your daughter away, why do you insist on getting ten kilograms of millet? Doesn't this look like selling your daughter?"

The vendor sneered twice, as if mocking Xuan Haixiu's ignorance.

"If I give it away for free, it might be sold to someone in a black market. But someone willing to pay ten kilograms of millet for it at least proves her family is well-off. This woman is very smart."

Xuan Haixiu took a deep breath and let the cold air enter his mouth and throat.

Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. Xuan Haixiu deeply felt the greatness of a mother.

While he was looking for what he needed, he was also paying attention to the situation over there.

As agreed, the officer really waited here for the woman to come back.

He seemed to know the woman's identity. This behavior could be considered as helping his fellow soldiers who died in the battle. Perhaps, it was also to find spiritual sustenance for himself.

Because no one knows whether he will be the one to die when the next war breaks out.

Less than ten minutes later, the woman came back in a hurry.

She was obviously a little anxious, and her body was covered in mud. She must have fallen on the road.

She was holding a thermos in her hand, and when she came in front of her daughter, she squatted down.

The thermos contains a bucket of millet porridge.

The woman in red fed her daughter the millet porridge mouthful by mouthful. At this time, she finally burst into tears and said:

"My daughter, I can't grow up with you anymore! Drink the millet porridge I made for you for the last time! You must eat well and grow up well!"

After feeding the black officer a bowl of millet porridge, she bowed to him, then turned around and left without looking back.

The little girl watched her mother leave quietly, without crying or making a fuss, but her eyes were filled with tears.

The black officer waited until her mother walked away, then silently took her hand and walked in the opposite direction of the woman in red.

A warm feeling rose in Xuan Haixiu's heart.

A smile appeared on his face. It turned out that in this difficult apocalypse, there was still the brilliance of humanity.

For a moment, he didn't know why, but he became more confident about himself and Li Chengmei escaping from Kajie Country.

He believes that there are still things worth trusting in this world.

"I wish you all the best."

"May we be able to leave this place safely."

Xuan Haixiu said softly in a voice that only he could hear.

He quickly bought all the supplies he needed and rushed home.

But when he returned downstairs to his house, he saw a black Maybach parked downstairs.

Both sides of the road were filled with imposing soldiers.
