Li Baobei looked at Bizhu with a helpless expression. "Bizhu, what time is it now?"
"Miss, it is now 3:45 AM."
Bizhu looked at her with delight: "That's wonderful, Miss has finally woken up."
"oh!"
Li Baobei thought to herself, "He probably doesn't want to talk to me anymore! I treated him like this, sigh! I'm still too fragile. Seeing such a scene scared the soul out of me."
Li Baobei feels lingering fear whenever she thinks of that scene, and she loses all her energy.
How could people in the 21st century possibly witness such a bloody and horrific scene, especially live on air!
She thought of the scene in her dream again, He You when he was young. How could she dream of He You's childhood? Was it something he actually experienced?
Li Baobei was filled with doubt and wanted to enter the dream again to find out.
well!!!
She felt dizzy and had no strength at all.
Bizhu brought her a bowl of light porridge. She drank a few mouthfuls and then told Bizhu that she wanted to rest. Bizhu then turned around, closed the door, and left.
"Xiaoyi, are you there?"
System: Yes, Host Number Six.
Li Baobei: Are the things I saw in my dream He You's childhood experiences?
System: Yes.
Li Baobei: Why can I see?
System: Xiao Yi doesn't know either. She's heard that two souls who are in sync sometimes dream about the same thing at the same time. Xiao Yi suspects it might be something similar.
Li Baobei: I see.
Thank you, Xiaoyi.
System: No need. Host, you must do your best to save He You. Xiao Yi has detected that his corruption level is getting higher and higher.
Li Baobei: You know this? That's amazing!
System: A trivial skill.
Li Baobei: I feel increasingly weak, I get sleepy very easily, and my consciousness often becomes blurred. Will I forget everything in the future? Xiaoyi.
system:……
Silence fell.
System: Xiaoyi isn't entirely sure either. It was caused by the last transaction. Host, please take good care of yourself.
Li Baobei: Thank you, Xiaoyi. I'm going to sleep now. Goodbye.
System: Goodbye...
Li Baobei then drifted off to sleep again.
The familiar scene has reappeared.
One of the older beggars, who was hitting the man, said fiercely, "Hit him harder! You dare to steal business from my turf? You don't want to live!"
The other little beggars beat him even harder.
"You wanted to eat steamed buns, didn't you? I'll stomp your hands to pieces!"
The child then forcefully stomped He You's tightly clenched hand into the soil, repeatedly crushing it.
He You didn't let go even after his hands were stained with blood.
After a while, the group of little beggars got bored and gradually stopped.
"This guy is like a block of wood. No matter how much you hit him, he won't make a sound or even fight back. He's such an idiot. Let's go! Let's go back and eat, everyone."
Before long, the little beggars left in twos and threes.
He You sat up with a blank look in his eyes, finally opening his hand that had been tightly clenched. Inside was half a steamed bun mixed with mud and blood.
He ate the steamed bun without any expression.
No!!!
Li Baobei watched him from afar, not daring to approach. She knew she couldn't change anything; she could only watch him from a distance, watching him linger and eke out a living in this hopeless world.
Tears streamed down my face again.
The human world is the real purgatory.
He You slowly stood up, his body trembling violently from the pain.
He dragged his battered body forward.
Li Baobei followed slowly behind him, looking at his small figure, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
He You slowly arrived at a dilapidated house, with only two walls still standing and a single beam remaining on the roof, which looked on the verge of collapse.
He slowly walked over and lay down in a small pile of dry grass by the wall, curling his body up to hug himself, murmuring, "Father, Mother, are you here with me? You're so cold, I miss you so much, I really miss you..."
He gradually drifted off to sleep.
Li Baobei sat down beside him and gently stroked his head with her ethereal hand, saying, "Sleep well, Xiao Heyou. It will be alright, everything will be alright. I will always be with you."
He You slept very peacefully that night, as if his mother was lying next to him and holding him, and he felt so warm.
As dawn broke, He You remained reluctant to wake up. His mother had come to see him, and he was overjoyed.
Li Baobei wanted to look at him a little longer, but suddenly she felt that invisible force starting to pull at her again.
"Don't worry, I'll come see you again tonight. I'll always be with you."
He You felt the warmth around her disappear and then suddenly woke up.
"Did you leave again?"...
When Li Baobei woke up, it was already afternoon, and the Prime Minister's wife was watching her by her bedside.
"You're awake, Nannan. Are you feeling better?" Li's mother asked, her face full of worry.
"I'm much better, Mother. I'm sorry to have worried you."
"Nannan, be good. Mother has prepared some medicine to strengthen your body. You must drink it obediently. Your body is too thin and weak right now. You can't stay like this forever."
A moment later, Bizhu brought in a bowl of dark, medicinal liquid. Li Baobei frowned immediately upon seeing it.
Isn't this the kind we drink every day at Lord He's residence?
This is absolutely killing me!!!
After eating, Li Baobei went to the yard for some fresh air, feeling that her body really wouldn't last much longer.
