Your name

Shi Youchen has a good mental state. If it were someone else, they might be scared by the little girl.

Because he had been in the tent for quite a while, he didn't sense any murderous aura, so when he saw the pair of eyes, one black and one gray, Shi Youchen's first reaction was to smile: "You're awake."

The little girl didn't seem to understand what he was saying, and Shi Youchen saw confusion in her eyes. So he thought for a moment, turned on the bracelet's translation function, selected input zone 8 and output zone 10, and said again: "You're awake."

The voice input was detected, and the screen scanned and turned out a paragraph of text that Shi Youchen could not understand. At the same time, the voice also read out a sentence that he could not understand.

This time the girl reacted. Her heterochromic eyes blinked slowly a few times, and suddenly tears welled up in her eyes. She stretched out her thin arms and threw herself into Shi Youchen's arms.

"..." Shi Youchen looked at the head in his arms helplessly, hesitated for a few times, and gently put his hand on it to stroke it.

Seeing that Shi Youchen was still not coming out, Ying Yungui couldn't help but stand up and approach the tent: "Shi Youchen, are you okay..." He lifted the curtain and saw a scene of a big and a small hugging each other inside.

"Yeah?" He insisted on saying the last word.

When the little girl heard the strange voice, she immediately hid behind Shi Youchen like an ostrich, buried her head deeply, and her whole body began to tremble violently.

When Shi Youchen saw her intense reaction, he quickly said to Yun Gui, "I'm fine. You can go out first."

After Ying Yungui retreated as he was told, he finally realized, as if waking from a dream, "Why should I leave?"

In the tent, Shi Youchen patted the little girl on the back and said gently, "It's okay, can you speak?" After listening to the voice translation, her eyes drifted towards the exit of the tent, then fell back on Shi Youchen's face, and nodded timidly.

Shi Youchen thought for a moment and then asked, "Are you from the small town at the foot of the mountain?"

Unexpectedly, the first question aroused her emotions. Her lips twisted, and the tears that had finally stopped burst forth like a torrent. She said, "Yes."

When he found that she could speak, Shi Youchen breathed a sigh of relief. He took out a tissue from his pocket and gently wiped away the tears on her face. He then asked, "What's your name?"

Shi Youchen understood a little of the syllable "Li...sen".

The voice converted by the translator was similar to her original voice, so Shi Youchen said, "Then I can call you 'Li Sen', okay?"

When the girl heard him calling her name, her eyes lit up and she nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

After knowing the name, the rest of the conversation became much easier.

"Why is Kurimori in the woods?"

"I'm going to look for herbs."

Shi Youchen's heart moved, and he asked cautiously, "Why are you looking for herbs?"

"..." Li Sen's mouth twitched, as if she was about to cry again. Shi Youchen immediately touched her hair and said, "It's okay. Brother will heal all your injuries. Don't cry."

Her tears still didn't stop, but she wasn't crying as hard as before. This time she was just quietly looking at the ground crying.

Guessing that she might have some unspeakable secret that made her unable to control her emotions, Shi Youchen hugged her carefully and stroked her back gently, trying to be as gentle as possible.

"Don't cry. Let me take a look at the wound on your back first, okay?" Shi Youchen's tone was very gentle. The girl tilted her head slightly in his arms and looked at his face. As if to make sure he had no ill intentions, she said, "Okay."

Li Sen turned her back, as if she was not afraid of the cold at all, and simply took off her top and covered her chest with it. However, her shoulders kept shaking, and it was obvious that she was cold and scared.

So Shi Youchen took off his coat, put it on her from front to back, and then zipped up the lower half, leaving only a small part of the little girl's upper back exposed.

"Don't be afraid." Shi Youchen said as he raised his hand and placed it on her still slightly trembling back.

She was very thin, and her butterfly bones were only covered with a thin layer of flesh, and it seemed as if they could be pierced and drilled out at any time.

Shi Youchen gathered himself together, gathering all his energy to embrace the layers of bruises. Gradually, Li Sen's trembling subsided. She buried her face in her coat, which was too big for her, and wept bitterly, where Shi Youchen couldn't see.

Afraid that she would catch a cold if he stayed there for too long, Shi Youchen withdrew his hand when he thought it was almost time. The purple marks on her back had already faded a bit, but because the time was too short and the scars were so severe, there was still a layer of dark blue marks, which made it obvious that they were old injuries.

Shi Youchen turned around and said, "Brother has healed your injury, Li Sen, please put on your clothes quickly." After saying that, he still felt it was not enough and closed his eyes again.

There was a rustling sound behind him, and a moment later the hem of Shi Youchen's clothes was tugged.

Li Sen whispered: "Brother's clothes are wet."

Shi Youchen turned around and saw Li Sen holding the jacket in his hand, with a large stain on the back collar, and he suddenly realized something.

"It's okay, I'm not cold." Shi Youchen had been kneeling for too long, and his calves were numb. He propped himself up, trembling, and said, "We're going out to eat now. There are some of my brother's friends outside. Are you scared?"

Upon hearing this, Li Sen clutched the corner of her clothes even tighter. Shi Youchen waited patiently for her to regain some sense of security.

After a while, she said, "Brother, let's eat."

Outside the tent, after being ordered to leave, Ying Yungui sat on a small stool, deep in thought, a fire reflected in his eyes. Beside him, Luo Zhao and Jiang Yu were chatting about something.

The sound of a zipper being unzipped rang out, and the three people around the campfire all turned around to see Shi Youchen coming out with his coat in his right hand. Half of his head popped out from behind him, revealing only one black eye.

"She's awake. I'll take her out to eat something."

An unfamiliar language environment does not easily give children a sense of security, so Shi Youchen did not turn off the translator so that Li Sen could understand every word they said.

Ying Yungui frowned when he saw the coat in his arms, then stood up and took off his own clothes: "Put on your clothes." After thinking for a moment, he added, "The doctor can't fall down on his own."

Seeing the tall figure approaching, Li Sen shrank back again. Shi Youchen held her hand tightly and stretched out his right arm: "Then please help me dry it."

Ying Yungui was stunned, took it somewhat awkwardly, and then put his coat on him with one hand.

The food in the pot was kept hot. Shi Youchen served Li Sen a bowl of mixed vegetable soup that didn't look very good, and half-knelt down to coax her: "Eat first." Unexpectedly, she held the bowl with both hands and swallowed her saliva. After confirming Shi Youchen's eyes several times, she wolfed down half of the bowl in one breath without even using a spoon.

Watching her movements, Shi Youchen suppressed his suspicions and said, "Drink slowly, don't rush."

Li Sen froze when she heard that. She slowly raised her head, held up the remaining half bowl, and handed it to Shi Youchen: "Brother, eat it."

When Youchen heard this, he subconsciously thought that there was something wrong with the translator. After a moment, he realized what was happening and said with some pity, "This bowl is all yours, you eat it."

The three people not far away saw this scene. Luo Zhao asked, "Is he really a doctor? The little girl's injuries are serious, how can she be so energetic now?"

Ying Yungui was spreading out his dusty coat, warming himself by the fire from a distance to dry out the stiff lining.

"Or do you think I was joking with you when I said partner?"

Information about people with special abilities cannot be revealed easily, so even though Luo Zhao is his cousin, he didn't say a word.

After hearing what he said, Luo Zhao nudged Jiang Yu beside him with his elbow and silently mouthed, "Look." Jiang Yu pushed the half-burned branch toward the center of the campfire without responding.

After taking care of their food and clothing needs, Shi Youchen led Li Sen towards the group. He squeezed the girl's wrist, preventing her from hiding behind him, and asked, "Can you tell them your name?"

The little girl stood sideways with her head down, her hands tightly clutching Shi Youchen. Her voice was so soft, carried by the evening breeze to the ears of several people: "My name is Li Sen."

Shi Youchen squatted down and patted her shoulder, encouraging her: "Look at the bonfire, it's beautiful."

Li Sen raised his head hesitantly and saw three pairs of eyes of different colors staring at him.

She was stunned, her eyes shifting back and forth between Ying Yungui and Jiang Yu's faces.

Shi Youchen chuckled: "Does it look good?"

"Wow! Such beautiful heterochromia!" Luo Zhao exclaimed after finally seeing the girl's full appearance. "Your name is Li Sen, right? Then I can call you Li Li, okay?"

She was hotter than a bonfire.

Li Sen was involuntarily attracted to Luo Zhao and then smiled.

"When will you stop giving people random names?" Ying Yungui complained to her.

"But she smiled. Doesn't smiling mean she likes it?" Luo Zhao curled his lips.

Shi Youchen had been observing Li Sen's expression, and naturally did not miss her surprise when she saw the different colored pupils of several people.

"So you really don't want others to see your heterochromia?" he thought to himself.

Jiang Yu wordlessly spread out another small stool and moved it to the side to make room.

Luo Zhao stretched out his hand in front of Li Sen: "Li Li, come and warm yourself by the fire! It's warm."

Ying Yungui put the dried clothes on himself and had no intention of returning them to Shi Youchen.

Shi Youchen placed his palm on Li Sen's back and gently pushed her towards the bright front.

...

It was late at night, everything was quiet, and Luo Zhao and Li Sen were sleeping soundly.

Shi Youchen didn't want to wake Jiang Yu up, so he tiptoed out of the tent and saw Ying Yungui sitting outside alone to keep watch.

"I'll take over the shift, you go and rest." He walked to Ying Yungui and said softly.

The bonfire had burned down to a small fire, swaying gently in the quiet night.

"What are you going to do with the child?" Ying Yungui did not respond directly, but asked him back.

Shi Youchen sat down, covering the lower half of his face with his collar, and a muffled voice came from inside: "Let Luo Zhao and the others take her back to town after dawn." The purpose of his trip had not been achieved yet, so it was impossible for him to go back at this time.

Ying Yungui wiped his face and finally asked the question: "Why did you come here?"
