章 281: Chapter 277: Peony_1

After asking twice, one of the children answered in a foreign accent, "Xiaohe Village, we're from Xiaohe Village."

Yingbao didn't know where Xiaohe Village was, but she was certain these two children were not from Qinchuan County.

She crouched down and felt the breath of the person lying on the ground with her finger, only to find that the person was already dead.

"Who is this person to you?" Yingbao asked.

The older boy was wary and wouldn't answer, but the girl beside him said, "She's our mother."

Yingbao paused for a moment, then decided to tell them the truth: "Your mother has died."

Even in cold weather, staying with a corpse could lead to illness, and if these two children didn't quickly find somewhere to stay, they probably wouldn't survive the winter.

The girl cried as she gnawed on her apple, the boy was silent. Apparently, they were already aware of this outcome.
