Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 682

Chapter 682: Chapter 678: Really Makes One Feel Terrible

——————

Xiao Lei frowned, looking back as Yan Jinsu recalled and counted with his slender fingers, speaking:

"Uncle, counting from the beginning, the first time I encountered bad folks was at my home’s doorstep, there were two before and after, and on the train, there were about seven. The four I saw were sitting in the four directions of front, back, left, and right of Uncle Shou, and sitting with Uncle Shou was an old lady, about as old as grandma, with another man beside her.

I observed carefully, the old lady next to Uncle Shou was constantly talking to a man across from her. Then, as we were about to get off the train, suddenly a bad guy rushed from behind me and covered my mouth. At the same time, I felt someone blocking my view, as if to prevent others from witnessing my plight—"

At this point, terror finally began to emerge in Xiao Lei’s heart, but he still continued counting his memories:

"Woo, when I woke up midway, although my mind was still foggy, I heard about five or six different voices talking."

Yan Jinsu noticed the fear in Xiao Lei’s heart, immediately held his hand which was even larger than hers, with long finger bones and five callused spots visible on his palm, evidently from frequent use.

"Don’t be scared, Xiao Lei, your sister is here," Yan Jinsu gently soothed his frightened emotions.

Xie Jingchen frowned upon hearing his little wife’s self-reference, intending to correct her, but seeing the condition of the child, Xiao Lei, he could only knit his brow tightly, whispering to his wife:

"Wife, just stay safe at home and don’t think too much. Pay more attention to Xiao Lei’s emotions; I’m off to work now."

Yan Jinsu nodded to her husband and said with concern through lip-reading: "Husband, be careful."

Xie Jingchen gripped his little wife’s hand with slight force, shot a glance at Sister Gui, and then signaled Hu Zhengjie to follow him first.

Having a slight clue about the bad people might yield unexpected results at the train station.

This unexpected meeting with Xiao Lei let Xie Jingchen and others know that their enemy might be stationed somewhere in Beijing, plotting against him and his wife and child.

Thinking of this, Xie Jingchen instructed the people staying at home to be vigilant.

Meanwhile, Sister Gui and Sister Tao had entered the main house in the back courtyard, taking turns patrolling around the main courtyard.

Including the outer courtyard and the surrounding outer walls, Lei Hairong along with the Su family brothers were scouting, making the entire Siheyuan virtually enter a state of alert since Xie Jingchen left.

Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi were overseen by Zhou Zhenghui, allowing these sisters to focus more on their surroundings.

Yan Jinsu saw Xiao Lei gradually calming down, and at this moment, Nanny Chen brought over a bowl of medicinal soup. Seeing the boy crying on and off since his arrival, Nanny Chen unhesitatingly prepared some cold-dispelling and mind-soothing herbal soup for Xiao Lei.

"Madam, this is an old remedy from our home. It soothes the mind, and I’ve added a bit of fresh ginger to expel the cold for the child."

Nanny Chen had left not long ago when Wang Chun Mei slightly lifted the door curtain, seeing only Third Sister-in-law and the children inside, she then entered with some embarrassment.

She just wanted to help in the kitchen but was rejected by the nanny. Moreover, with Tao Siming standing by the door and Yan Jinsu speaking in a voice neither loud nor soft, she heard everything from outside.

"Third Sister-in-law, I heard the child needs a bath, do we have clothes for him to wear?" Towels were something Third Sister-in-law had brought plenty of, but for this tween boy, neither large nor small, clothes were not brought.

Yan Jinsu glanced at Xiao Lei’s clothes, these clothes were definitely not wearable again. She looked outside the house; though it was not snowing, stepping outside in such weather was undoubtedly harsh.

"Third Sister-in-law, how about using my clothes for the child to wear for now?" Zhou Zhenghui lifted the small arch door of East Nuan Pavilion and entered the main room with a smile: "I just happen to have a clean set that I haven’t worn in the car, newly made by Xiaozi."

Zhou Zhenghui’s clothes are also big, but comparatively smaller than Xie Jingchen’s physique.

Xie Jingchen wasn’t just tall, standing at one meter ninety-three with a body all in proper muscles, his frame, compared to the tall and slender Zhou Zhenghui, was naturally more fitting for Xiao Lei.

Xiao Lei has just turned twelve this year, but he does not appear as frail as other tween children, his height has reached around one meter fifty-six.

In today’s times, this height was certainly not short, many twelve-year-olds are around one meter forty.

Xiao Lei had become healthy and tall thanks to Uncle Fatty and Uncle Shou’s "forcing the shoots to grow."

Though wearing Zhou Zhenghui’s clothes at one meter eighty-three was somewhat large, it was still wearable, definitely better than the smelly and dirty clothes Xiao Lei was wearing.
