Chapter 91 Leaving the Little Girl Behind

The little girl opened her mouth to scream, and if her scream attracted people, she would no longer be afraid of them doing bad things.

Liang Mingxuan knew she was about to scream when he saw her posture. He was startled and rushed over to cover her mouth without thinking.

If she screamed in the middle of the night, others would think something had happened to her.

"Don't scream!"

Liang Mingxuan was just about to comfort her and tell her to talk things over, when he felt a sharp pain in his palm. His eyes went dark and he groaned in pain: "Don't bite, let go."

Xu Zhichun was also startled and hurried forward to pull her away: "Little girl, please let go! Stop biting, stop biting! You've bitten my Mingxuan's hand and hurt him. How can he write? Let go! Let's talk it over."

Writing? Is he a scholar?

The little girl was stunned, and Liang Mingxuan quickly pulled his hand out. In the faint moonlight, a circle of deep tooth marks could be seen. The three deepest pits were dark purple and had choked on blood.

The most important thing is, it hurts! It hurts so much!

His whole hand was numb from the pain.

Even though he was always calm, the pain made tears well up in his eyes.

"Mingxuan! This—" Xu Zhichun was also shocked when he saw it. "Come in quickly, I'll pour some warm water for you to wash up quickly, and put a warm towel on it."

It seems that she needs to disinfect. She has alcohol, but it can't be used. What can she use instead? Oh, salt water, add a little salt to warm water.

Xu Zhichun hurriedly pulled Liang Mingxuan into the house to treat his wound.

The little girl subconsciously opened her mouth to call them, but closed it again. She stood there at a loss.

No one cares about her?

What should she do then?

Xu Zhichun quickly brought some warm water with a little salt added. Liang Mingxuan's severe pain had passed. The injured area was soaked in warm water, which was a little stinging at first, but gradually relieved.

He secretly took a deep breath and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine."

Xu Zhichun looked at the deep circle of teeth marks and found it hard to believe.

She was worried. "How can such a deep tooth mark be okay? It shouldn't leave a scar, right? It will disappear in a few days, right?"

It hurts just looking at it.

Liang Mingxuan nodded: "Well, it's just a superficial wound, it will heal."

"S-Sorry."

The little girl followed in, but didn't dare go into the house. She stood at the door, her beautiful black eyes filled with apology.

Seeing them looking over, the little girl quickly assured them, "It definitely won't leave scars. I have a very good scar-removing ointment at home. I'll bring it to you when I get back. Seriously."

She was previously afraid that they were bad guys, and was wary of how to escape. But when Xu Zhichun saw Liang Mingxuan injured and hurriedly dragged him into the house to treat his injuries, not paying any attention to her, she finally let down her guard and decided that they were not bad guys.

If they were bad people, they would not ignore her but try to catch her first.

That's right, this is just an ordinary village. Dad said that most of the people are simple and honest. How can there be so many bad people in the world? She was scared earlier and couldn't help but overthink it.

The little girl was upset and guilty, and she didn't know how to explain. She felt so aggrieved that she said, "I'm sorry" with her eyes wide open.

Xu Zhichun sighed secretly.

At this point, it was normal for the little girl to be afraid of strangers and overreact. Although she was still a little depressed, could she really grab the little girl and beat her up?

Forget it, what if Mingxuan’s injury is difficult to recover and he still relies on her to get scar removal ointment.

Xu Zhichun asked, "Little sister, do you want to come in and talk?"

The little girl hesitated for a while, then stepped into the house and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Sit down."

"Um."

"By the way, where are you from? Why are you here alone? Where are your family members?"

The little girl's thick, long eyelashes flickered gently, looking as cute as a doll. She whispered, "I was too playful and lost my way. I lost my parents. They will definitely come looking for me tomorrow. Sister, can I stay at your house for one night? I will definitely be home tomorrow. I, I will definitely repay you."

Xu Zhichun felt that she might not have told the whole truth, and felt a little amused and a little impressed.

It was a good thing that the little girl was wary of strangers. Although she felt a little uncomfortable with this kind of vigilance, she still admired it.

Let's just assume that she is telling the truth.

It was pitch dark and she couldn't possibly kick anyone out.

"If you like, you can stay at our house for one night."

Liang Mingxuan pursed his lips and said nothing.

He is not such a stingy person, forget it. Hiss, I can't move my hands, it still hurts a little when I move.

The little girl was immediately happy, her eyebrows curved like crescent moons as she smiled, "Thank you, sister!"

The little girl's smile was beautiful and endearing. Xu Zhichun smiled as well and couldn't help but ask, "Have you eaten? Are you hungry?"

Alas, she is still too kind.

The little girl swallowed suddenly, her eyes shining, and nodded quickly: "Hungry, sister, I'm so hungry, is there anything to eat?"

"Well, how about I make you some dumpling soup?"

"Okay, okay, thank you, sister!"

The little girl nodded repeatedly. As long as there was food, it was fine. She could have endured it if her sister hadn't said anything, but as soon as her sister said it, she immediately felt so hungry that she couldn't stand it.

Xu Zhichun smiled and stood up to prepare food for her. He glanced at Liang Mingxuan and said, "The hot water is ready. I'll bring it to you. Take a shower and go to bed."

"Um."

After settling Liang Mingxuan down, the hot water in the small pot began to boil. Xu Zhichun used chopsticks to put the prepared dough balls into the boiling water pot little by little.

The little girl stood aside and watched with her black eyes wide open, her eyes bright and eager to try.

Xu Zhichun wanted to laugh.

I understand. Children, for example, when they see adults making noodles, they really want to try it themselves. She smiled and said, "Do you want to try it?"

"I want it!"

The little girl was so happy that she nodded quickly, took the bowl and chopsticks from Xu Zhichun, and followed her example to pick up the dough balls and put them into the boiling water pot little by little.

"Sister, this is right, right?"

"Yeah, that's it. You're really smart."

"whee!"

"By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is—Xiaoyue."

"Xiaoyue? Is it small?"

"No, it's the dawn of spring sleep."

"Ah, that's a nice name."

Xiaoyue smiled happily again, "What's your sister's name?"

Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "My last name is Xu. You can call me Sister Xu."

"Sister Xu!"

The dumpling soup was cooked quickly. Xu Zhichun also added fresh lettuce leaves and an egg, and a few drops of sesame oil.

Xiaoyue was probably really hungry, as she finished the whole bowl of dumpling soup.

The little girl sat at the table with an upright posture and ate elegantly. Even though it was obvious that she was very hungry, she did not seem to be wolfing down her food.

Xu Zhichun thought to himself, "While even three-year-olds can recite the poem 'Spring Sleeps Without Knowing the Dawn' today, in this era it was clearly a symbol of knowledge. The fact that this little girl could recite it so readily showed she must come from a very special family. It's no surprise that she could have such demeanor."

The strange thing is, where did she come from?
