Chapter 56 Little Wenli 1
The cellar was pitch black, filled with a foul odor; the smell of decay and dampness mingled together, making one want to vomit.
In the corner, a dark mass, distinct from its surroundings, huddled together, its breath faint.
The seven-year-old boy had not eaten a single grain of rice for three days. Every now and then, someone would come in, pinch his face, and check if he was still alive.
Then, feed him a sip of not-so-clean water.
If only he could have a bite to eat right now.
The little boy suddenly envied the little match girl, because even though she was starving before she froze to death, she still had matches.
A match that can ignite hope.
His breathing grew weaker and weaker, and he could barely open his eyes.
"Little Wenli? Little Wenli?" A very pleasant female voice suddenly came from beside me.
But Xiao Wenli... what a strange way of calling her.
"Xiao Wenli, wake up quickly." The woman's voice was filled with anxiety.
It's a bit noisy.
But he still opened his eyes.
A woman who looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old was squatting beside him, and she seemed overjoyed when she saw him open his eyes.
"You're finally awake!"
He glanced around; the scene was exactly the same as when he first entered the cellar, except that the unpleasant smell and unknown reptiles were gone, and there was an unfamiliar older sister.
He watched the woman in front of him warily, and when she leaned closer, he backed away.
Seven-year-old Wen Li had a dirty little face and his still-childish eyes were fixed on the woman in front of him, as if to prevent her from doing anything to hurt him.
He will fight back with all his might if he is threatened!
However, the other party's next move took him by surprise.
The table behind the woman said to him, "Are you starving? Hurry up and eat something."
That table appeared out of nowhere.
Xiao Wenli smelled the aroma and felt even hungrier.
"What is your purpose?" This woman's appearance was too sudden. Even though Xiao Wenli was starving, she was still on edge.
Hmph, he reasonably suspected that the other party was sent by his father's mortal enemy, who gave him a hard time and then offered him a sweet treat in order to gain his trust.
At the age of seven, Wen Li had already received the Wen family's unique education, which made him much more mature than his peers.
The stranger was taken aback by his question and hesitated for a while before saying, "I've come to say goodbye."
Xiao Wenli asked, puzzled, "What farewell?"
"I will be your good friend in the future. I didn't have time to say goodbye when I left."
Xiao Wenli sneered, "Although I am only seven years old, don't actually try to fool me like a child."
"And you said you were going to be my good friend in the future, so why did you leave without saying goodbye?"
Stranger woman: "Do you want some?"
Hmph, she's actually avoiding his question.
However, considering the other party's numerous flaws, he might as well eat a little.
Xiao Wenli didn't know why she believed in the goodwill shown by the other party.
However, he suspected that the other party was lying.
He would never make friends who leave without saying goodbye.
Hot noodles smell really good.
About an hour later, he still showed no signs of poisoning.
There's nothing wrong with that bowl of noodles.
"Do you want to take a shower?" the strange woman asked him.
Xiao Wenli looked down at her dirty clothes, glanced around, and then said, "There's no way to wash here."
Then an astonishing scene appeared before his eyes: a bathtub appeared not far away, and a change of clothes was hanging on a clothes rack next to it.
The bathtub was full of water.
“You can wash if you want,” she said.
