"Follow her quietly."
Shu Xiaoya brought the herbs to the abandoned hut again. Xiao Zening opened his eyes when he heard the noise. His face was paler than yesterday. Fine beads of sweat were oozing from his smooth forehead. He was wrapped in a quilt and shivering with cold.
"Brother Xiao, I brought some herbs!" Shu Xiaoya came in excitedly, not noticing anything unusual about Xiao Zening.
Xiao Zening pulled a weak smile from the corner of his mouth, "Xiao Ya, you're here!"
"Brother Xiao, let me help you change the medicine."
As Shu Xiaoya spoke, she put the herbs into her mouth, chewed them into crumbs, and then spit them out. She applied the crumbs mixed with her saliva and the medicinal juice on the wound on Xiao Zening's thigh.
Xiao Zening felt as if his legs were not his own anymore. He felt nothing after applying the herbs, but he still said weakly, "Thank you."
Shu Xiaoya said shyly: "Brother Xiao, I am willing to do all these, so don't say thank you anymore."
Xiao Zening looked at her tenderly.
Shu Xiaoya smiled shyly, and her face suddenly darkened. Xiao Zening asked quickly, "What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"
Shu Xiaoya shook her head, "No, it was my mother who forced me to get married."
Xiao Zening's heart suddenly sank and he began to feel uncomfortable. From the moment he opened his eyes and saw Shu Xiaoya, or when he saw Shu Xiaoya taking good care of him, he had already regarded Xiaoya as his property.
"Do you want to get married?" Xiao Zening stared at her with his dark eyes.
Shu Xiaoya shook her head violently, tears welling up in her eyes, "I don't want to, but my mother said my brother needs money for the betrothal gift, so..."
"That's too much!" Xiao Zening cursed angrily, and his pale face turned a little red.
He looked at the delicate and thin girl in front of him and asked in a deep voice: "Are you willing to come with me?"
Shu Xiaoya was shocked, and then she was overjoyed. She nodded repeatedly, "I am willing, but my mother..."
"Don't worry about it. As long as you promise me, I will take you away."
Shu Xiaoya was mesmerized by Xiao Zening's confident and proud attitude.
After getting Xiao Zening's promise, Shu Xiaoya left happily. Xiao Zening lay on the bed, his head felt heavy as if he had been punched, and he fell asleep in a daze.
When the people on the mountain saw Shu Xiaoya leaving, they arrived at the house where Xiao Zening was in the blink of an eye.
When they opened the door, they saw Xiao Zening lying on the bed, his life or death unknown. The man in the lead had a changed expression and said, "Send him to the hospital!"
Xiao Zening woke up in a daze and saw a familiar face looking at him worriedly.
Xiao Zening was stunned and looked around. Is he in the hospital?
Maybe it was because Xiaoya found Uncle Zhang and the others, and he owed this girl a huge favor.
Thinking of Shu Xiaoya, Xiao Zening's eyes became gentle.
"Uncle Zhang, where is Xiaoya?"
Zhang Hai looked at Xiao Zening with a complicated expression. His legs were almost gone, and now he was still looking for a woman?
Xiao Zening looked behind Zhang Hai for a long time and found that there was no one there, and no trace of Shu Xiaoya.
Xiao Zening felt strange and his eyes suddenly fell down to his body. His right calf was empty under the blue and white striped hospital gown.
His face suddenly changed.
His legs are gone?
"Xiao Ning, we found it too late. The wound has already been infected and we have to amputate it."
Zhang Hai sighed, feeling very sorry. Originally, Xiao Zening had a promising future with the Xiao family's background, but now that his legs were gone, he would have to retire as soon as he returned to Beijing, not to mention promotion.
A bright future is ruined!
