"Shishi, it's me, Choudan. Choudan is here. I won't give you a shot. Don't be afraid, okay?"
Xie Lin cupped that pale little face in his hands, pressed his forehead against her sweaty forehead, and carefully carried her into the cockpit.
The tiny creature nestled in the large embrace, too afraid to even lift its head.
Even in the comfort of her embrace, she couldn't stop trembling.
Xie Lin's heart was in turmoil, as if an invisible hand was tearing at his heart, causing him extreme discomfort.
"Shishi, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm always here. Be good, don't be afraid anymore, okay?"
He patted her thin shoulders repeatedly to comfort her, and after a long while, the person in his arms calmed down a little.
“You stinky egg, they’re bad. They tied up the corpse and made it smell stinky. They gave the corpse a lot of injections, injections in its brain, injections in its hands, and injections all over its body. The corpse doesn’t want to do it. You stinky egg, the corpse doesn’t want to do it.”
Shi Shi clung tightly to Xie Lin's clothes, her voice filled with unease.
Seeing that her emotions, which had just calmed down, were about to resurface, Xie Lin quickly pulled her into his arms to stop her from saying anything more.
This was the first time I had ever seen her so out of control, her eyes bloodshot and filled with hatred. It was as if the world had abandoned her and she had nowhere to turn for help, powerless to struggle, and could only vent her emotions through helpless screams.
He wondered if she had felt just as helpless last time.
"Okay, okay, Shishi won't get a shot, she'll never get a shot, and she won't smell poop. Don't be afraid, Stinky Egg is here, Stinky Egg will protect you."
"Sweetie, don't think about those things anymore. Just think about Chou Dan. When we get back, Chou Dan will make you something delicious. Shi Shi, do you want some candy? Chou Dan will go out and get it, okay?"
Before going into the sea, he took out two candies he had with him and left them outside.
At that moment, Xie Lin finally believed his intuition.
The Zhou family members of Zhoujia Village clearly stated that Zhou Shi had never left Zhoujia Village from childhood to adulthood.
Aside from malnutrition, she was very healthy and had hardly ever been exposed to any medications.
Despite not having received multiple injections or had any medication-related incidents, she is so afraid of injections and medications, and is particularly sensitive and resistant to drugs...
A young girl who had never left the countryside was able to draw a remarkably advanced wooden gun.
Having only seen some manuscripts and done some of the problems set by Professor Tang, he was able to draw a solar generator that he had never heard of before and understand the principle of solar power generation.
He tried to find out, but Professor Tang hadn't studied this area. So where did she learn it from?
It's understandable that one's movements might be irregular due to frequent mountain climbing training without professional guidance, but what about speed?
It's one thing for him not to be able to catch up, but he can't even catch the bees. Is that reasonable?
He had suspected that she had fallen from the sky, and that his previous thoughts were just wild imagination.
At that moment, he truly felt that she came from somewhere else.
Or perhaps the moment she arrived was the moment she was rescued from the water.
She was floating on the water when she was rescued, so she came. Was that the original Zhou Shi?
She has a keen sense of smell, keen hearing, and eyes that are extraordinary. Could she have been a gifted superhuman in her original world?
What about her brain?
The original Zhou Shi was mentally impaired, and now she's mentally impaired too. Is it because the original Zhou Shi was mentally impaired, or because she was mentally impaired before she came here?
No, she's not stupid.
She's good at keeping accounts, holds grudges, and automatically extracts information that's advantageous to her.
You could say she's very smart.
She simply doesn't understand the order and rules of this world, and without systematic learning, she doesn't recognize the objects in this world.
She's more like a newborn child, needing guidance to grow up, so she's clueless about everything.
Like a blank sheet of paper that has never been stained, it retains the purest innocence of humankind.
Oh right, she said she wanted to find a powerful shell...
The shell is like the face, like the body.
Because the face was different from her own and the body wasn't as strong as before, that's why she needed to search for it.
She said it was a shell that could stand on the water, a shell without feeling pain.
So, she really isn't Zhou Shi.
She really did come from somewhere else.
She had suffered inhuman torture in her previous place, which is why she was so terrified.
Is it true that you are tied up while getting injections and being forced to smell sedatives?
Suddenly, four words popped into his mind, the ones Zhou Yan had just said: human experimentation.
Oh right, he finally figured out why the girl was afraid.
She must have heard those four words and thought of her own painful experience.
Her hands unconsciously tightened, pressing the person in her arms tightly against her, and her heart ached as if it were being pricked by needles.
Shishi, how did you end up in that situation?
Aren't you very capable?
If you're moving so fast, why don't you run away when someone catches you?
Why don't you hit him if he's so strong?
"I don't want to eat, rotten egg, I'm freezing, I want to sleep."
She didn't know if she wanted to sleep or was unconscious; all she knew was that with Chou Dan around, she could close her eyes in peace.
Xie Lin, whose thoughts had drifted to another world, came back to his senses and found that the person in his arms had already closed their eyes.
She usually sleeps well and falls asleep almost instantly, so this time was no exception.
He finally remembered that his clothes were wet and tried to put her down, only to find that she was holding him tightly and he couldn't pry her off no matter what he did, her brows furrowed.
He looked around and found a work shirt. He took it down and draped it over her shoulders, smoothed her brow, and carried her outside to sunbathe, so that at least his own clothes would dry.
He adjusted his holding position so she could rest her head on his shoulder and sleep, pulling his shirt up to cover her forehead to prevent the sunlight from being too bright.
"Brother, how is Shi Shi?"
The group had been waiting outside, no longer interested in making money. As soon as they saw people, Chou Chou rushed up and asked.
