Chapter 113 Poor Sisters
While Lai Yang was practicing, he noticed some movement outside. After releasing his spiritual sense, he found that it was a little beggar hiding from the rain in the corner of the inn.
But her clothes had been soaked by the rain, and she looked so pitiful.
Lai Yang thought about it, walked out of the inn and came to the little girl who was hiding from the rain.
She was obviously frightened and trembled, not daring to speak.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. It's too cold outside and it's raining. Come in and sit down." Lai Yang said softly.
"No, no need, I'm dirty." said the little girl fearfully.
"It's okay, there are no customers in the store now, come in." Lai Yang said patiently.
"Can I...really go in?" The little girl looked very uneasy.
"Well, come in, it's okay, don't worry."
After saying that, Lai Yang turned and walked into the inn.
The little girl hesitated for a while, but finally, unable to bear the coldness of the rainy night and feeling hungry and cold, she slowly entered the inn.
Lai Yang saw that she was pale and thin, and looked pitiful as if she was malnourished.
After a while, she was brought a bowl of hot food and a warm stove.
"Eat quickly, and take a shower after you finish eating, so you don't get sick."
The little girl looked at the delicious food in front of her and couldn't help swallowing her saliva. Then, driven by the strong feeling of hunger, she began to gobble it up.
Lai Yang watched her eat quietly. Soon she finished the whole bowl of food. Even the rice grains in the bowl were licked clean by her.
It can be seen that the child is really hungry.
The little girl put down the bowl and looked at Lai Yang pitifully.
"Do you want to eat more?" Lai Yang asked calmly.
The little girl nodded quickly.
"There's plenty to eat, but you can't eat too much now. Digest it first. If you eat too much at once, you'll die of bloating."
"Warm yourself up first and take a shower later."
Half an hour later, Lai Yang brought the little girl into the bathroom of the inn.
There was a wooden barrel in the middle of the bathroom, which was filled with hot water of a suitable temperature.
After a moment, the little girl looked completely refreshed, except that there was still a slightly timid look on her face, but she was no longer as scared as at the beginning.
The little girl had fine facial features and was very cute, but there was an obvious scar on her left cheek, as if it had been cut by a blunt object, which destroyed her overall beauty.
There were no clothes for children in Lai Yang's storage bag, so he could only use his spiritual power to clean her tattered clothes and let her put them on again.
The two returned to the warm fire, and Lai Yang asked, "What's your name?"
The little girl thought for a while and said hesitantly: "My name is... Li Xiaonuan."
"Xiao Nuan, where are your parents? Why are you alone?"
"The village was burned down. Only my sister and I escaped." The little girl's mouth pursed, tears welling up in her eyes, as if she was about to cry at any time.
"Don't cry. What about your sister?"
"My sister went out to look for food and hasn't come back yet. I waited for a long time. It was dark and I was scared, so I went out to look for her, but I couldn't find her after searching for a long time. Does my sister not want me anymore?"
As Li Xiaonuan spoke, she finally couldn't help crying sadly, and she cried very loudly.
At this moment, an anxious figure appeared outside the inn and shouted excitedly: "Xiao Nuan!"
Li Xiaonuan's crying stopped. She looked at the figure that suddenly appeared at the door of the inn and immediately ran towards the figure: "Sister, sister!"
The two sisters reunited and hugged each other, the scene was touching.
"Xiao Nuan, why did you run out? Didn't I tell you not to come out and wait for me to come back?" Li Xiaonuan's sister said nervously.
Li Xiaonuan saw the injuries on her sister's body at a glance, some from being beaten and some from falling.
The clothes she wore were even more tattered than Li Xiaonuan's, and her body was covered in mud. Her hands and feet were even frozen red and slightly blue.
"Sister, you are injured. Does it hurt?"
"I'm fine, I'll take you away, let's get out of here."
The elder sister was obviously much more wary of people than her younger sister, and she immediately wanted to pull her younger sister away.
"It's raining outside now, so we might as well wait until the rain stops before leaving." Lai Yang said at the right time.
"Sister, he is a good man. He let me in to shelter from the rain and gave me free meal." Li Xiaonuan said reluctantly.
"Thank you for taking care of my sister. We'll stop disturbing you."
Having said that, the sister forcibly pulled Li Xiaonuan away, her eyes full of vigilance and alertness towards strangers.
Seeing this scene, Lai Yang stopped trying to persuade the two sisters and watched their petite figures quickly disappear in the rain.
Lai Yang spread his hands helplessly: "It's hard to be a good person in this world."
Since they don't appreciate it, we can only choose to respect their fate.
Lai Yang could understand Li Xiaonuan's sister's behavior. Judging from the sisters' appearance, they had suffered a lot.
Especially my sister must have suffered a lot, so it is normal for her to be very wary of strangers.
He helped Li Xiaonuan because she was so small and pitiful, and it was fate that she happened to live in front of his inn.
Besides, this little thing was just a piece of cake for him, so he didn't mind helping her.
He would not rush to help them, at most he was just a spice of life.
Lai Yang thought that after this time, his fate with the two sisters would end.
However, what Lai Yang did not expect was that the two petite figures appeared again in front of his inn the next afternoon.
Li Xiaonuan carried her sister who was in a coma with a high fever on her back and cried to Lai Yang for help: "My sister is dying, please save her."
Seeing this, Lai Yang was slightly startled and went forward to check on his sister.
"Leave her to me." Lai Yang took his sister from Li Xiaonuan's back, feeling that her clothes were still wet, and then said calmly: "Come upstairs with me."
"Will my sister die? I don't want my sister to die." Li Xiaonuan asked fearfully.
"Don't worry, she won't die."
Lai Yang comforted her and found a room to put Li Xiaonuan's sister on the bed.
Lai Yang quietly used his spiritual power to dispel the damp and cold air in her body and fed her a little bit of low-level spiritual medicine mixed with porridge.
In an instant, her condition improved at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her face regained some color.
After a while, Li Xiaonuan's sister slowly opened her eyes, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Where is this place? In a trance, she seemed to have seen her deceased parents.
"Sister, please don't die. Don't leave me alone." Li Xiaonuan walked forward and cried.
"Xiao Nuan...what's wrong with me? I feel so uncomfortable all over."
Lai Yang stood nearby, looking at the girl who was only two years older than Li Xiaonuan lying on the bed, and said calmly:
"Your sister carried you to me. You had a severe fever and it has just subsided. It is normal for you to feel uncomfortable. You will be fine after two days of rest."
