Chapter 65 Afraid to Go Out



If I were in that situation, I would still have food to eat.

Although she won't starve, the most important factor affecting her ability recovery is her height.

As she helped the girl up, Shen Hua noticed her closed eyes and realized that the girl had calluses on her hands and her hair was quite dry and yellow.

This is a condition that only occurs due to malnutrition.

She seemed to be holding medicine in her hand. Shen Hua glanced at it and saw it was an anti-anginal drug, used to treat heart disease.

It seems someone in their family is sick and they've come out to buy medicine.

With no one around, Shen Hua led the little girl toward Willow Village.

She walked a little slower, so that it would be dark by the time she arrived, and the people there wouldn't be able to let her go back.

However, the girl's complexion was still not very good. Chen Hua gave her a few acupuncture needles, and only when she saw that her complexion had recovered did she dare to delay the treatment.

By the time we saw people in Liucun, it was already getting dark, but Chen was still somewhat satisfied with the painting.

"Hey, where is this little girl from? I've never seen her before. Oh? Why are you helping this baby? What happened to her?"

A woman dressed in somewhat worn clothes came over and asked, holding vegetables in her hand, which looked freshly picked.

Upon seeing Chen Hua, they came over out of curiosity, as no one had visited Liu Village for a long time.

Although people often climb Liushan Mountain, they all go up from the other side, which is quite far from their village.

“Auntie, I found her collapsed on the road, so I brought her here. Do you know where she lives? I’ll take her home,” Shen Hua asked politely.

Although the clothes this aunt was wearing were somewhat worn, the style of the clothes was a bit different.

"Oh! You mean this? Zhongwazi's house isn't far from mine, I'll take you there."

"I'm not saying this out loud, but this kid is probably getting medicine for her grandma again. This child has it tough. Her parents died early, and even her only grandma is sick and can't take care of her. She has to shoulder so much at such a young age. She usually relies on the help of the villagers."

Shen Hua followed behind the aunt. When they met people, the aunt would explain things and chat about everyday matters. When no one was around, she would talk to Shen Hua constantly, acting like a chatterbox.

However, Shen Hua listened attentively, otherwise she would have learned quite a bit of information.

The people in Liushan are a minority group, numbering only a few hundred. However, they don't go out much. They have certain rules, such as not being allowed to go out before adulthood and having to do certain things after marriage.

Anyway, even when they grow up, few of them go out; they all stay here and live their lives tending to their small plot of land.

This has led to them becoming somewhat disconnected from the outside world.

Their area is blocked by a mountain as high as Liushan, making it resemble a mountain valley, surrounded by mountains on all sides.

They live off the land, often finding herbs in the mountains, drying them, and having them sold by designated people, which results in them having very little money.

This habit became more serious after a college student came from their village.

That college student was tricked into being sold into prostitution less than six months after arriving at the school, and no one knows where he was sold to to this day.

They felt their village was cursed and dared not leave the village casually.

Even the teachers assigned here by higher authorities, after staying here for a long time, have no intention of leaving.

Despite not having enough to eat, they insisted on not going out.

Zhongwa went out to buy medicine for her grandmother.

However, people also felt that she was cursed.
