"My dear granddaughter, who is this person with such influence that we have to come to their door to get treatment?" Old Master Yan said with displeasure as he sat in the car.
The three of them hadn't left the mountain for many years. Even when Gu Chen asked them for help to save Xiao Ruanruan, he had to beg them while holding Xiao Ruanruan in his arms.
Now, the three of them have even brought Xiao Ruanruan along, eagerly going to people's homes to treat their illnesses.
Little Ruanruan used her two soft little fists to massage Grandpa Yan's legs in a flattering manner, "Grandpa Yan, it's not that Ruanruan is useless, she lost the bet to someone."
If we lose, we have to accept it. If we promised to help them solve their problems, we definitely have to keep our word, right?
Grandpa Huang reached out and tapped the little girl's head. "You little rascal, are you doing this on purpose? Do you think your school's lousy exams can stump you?"
Little Ruanruan rubbed her little nose with her little hands, a little embarrassed. She really didn't mean it.
There are just too many words, making it too tiring to write.
Originally, if it weren't for the bet with Chen Danqing, she planned to just get a passing score on that exam. She had already tried her best, okay?
Grandpa Peng looked at the little girl's soft appearance and came out to scold Grandpa Huang: "What do you mean that my dear granddaughter did it on purpose? With their school's stupid exam, it's unreasonable for a five-year-old to write so many words."
"My granddaughter's bones haven't fully developed yet; writing too much will only hinder her growth."
"Besides, our dear granddaughter asked us to treat patients so that we three old bones could get some exercise. Otherwise, would we just stay at home like useless people all day?"
Little Ruanruan was so moved by Grandpa Peng's words that she almost burst into tears. Grandpa Peng is the best!
Help her with everything!
When Xiao Ruanruan and her three grandfathers arrived at the Chen family home, Chen Danqing and Grandpa Chen were already waiting at the entrance.
Little Ruanruan slid off the car first, then, very obsequiously, stretched out her little hand and led the three grandfathers off the car one by one.
Although Grandpa Chen was initially reluctant to let Xiao Ruanruan and her grandfathers treat Chen Jie, he was persuaded by Chen Danqing to agree, and he treated Xiao Ruanruan and her three grandfathers with great courtesy.
Although Xiao Ruanruan already knew from Chen Danqing's account that Chen Jie's situation was not optimistic.
But when she actually met Chen Jie, Xiao Ruanruan was still startled.
Chen Jie was in a completely dark room without windows. Perhaps to prevent him from harming himself, there was no furniture in the room, only tatami mats on the floor.
Even in such a room, he remained huddled in a corner, trembling with fear.
Because of his mental disability, he seemed unable to control his facial muscles well, resulting in drool constantly flowing out of his mouth.
Moreover, his face was covered with large areas of burns, and the hideous scars, under the faint light, looked like a crisscrossing centipede crawling on his face, indescribably ferocious and terrifying.
Chen Danqing and Grandpa Chen carefully led Xiao Ruanruan and the three grandfathers toward Chen Jie, afraid of disturbing him.
Chen Danqing said that her brother wasn't this bad before. Back then, he just couldn't stand the light. If he saw light, he would think it was fire and be very scared, so he had to stay in a dark room. But it wasn't like now, where he has to stay in a dark room and huddle in a corner.
Later, they invited doctors to treat him. Although they were all top-notch doctors, their treatment only made her brother's problem worse. This is why Xiao Ruanruan and her grandfather were very resistant when she first offered to help with the treatment.
Chen Danqing approached Chen Jie first and said in a very soft voice, "Brother, it's me, Danqing. How are you feeling today?"
When Chen Danqing approached and spoke, Chen Jie visibly shrank back, curling up even more into a ball, making everyone's hearts clench.
Chen Danqing continued to speak to Chen Jie gently and patiently. After a while, Chen Jie finally relaxed a little and his body stopped trembling.
He raised his head, which had been buried in his knees like an ostrich, and stared intently at Chen Danqing, but drooled and remained silent.
Xiao Ruanruan cautiously approached as well. Chen Jie's appearance clearly indicated that he suffered not only physical but also psychological trauma. To treat him, she first had to get him to accept her.
Xiao Ruanruan was terrified that she would scare Chen Jie if she went over, and her heart was in her throat. But when she was still two steps away from Chen Jie, he suddenly raised his head and stared at her without blinking.
Little Ruanruan, who had been moving, suddenly stopped moving...
In the extremely dim light, Xiao Ruanruan actually saw a glimmer of light gradually appear in Chen Jie's terrified eyes.
The next moment, Chen Jie stood up, wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, and stared intently at Xiao Ruanruan.
Suddenly, he walked up to Xiao Ruanruan, his scarred and hideous face filled with surprise as he looked at her. "Angel, you are an angel! I've seen you before!"
Chen Jie's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, whether because he hadn't spoken for a long time or because his voice had been damaged in the fire, but his words were clear and you could hear the joy in his tone.
After a moment of stunned silence, both Chen Danqing and Grandpa Chen were overcome with emotion. Grandpa Chen, in particular, had tears welling up in his eyes the instant he heard Chen Jie speak.
It's been five years since the accident!
Five whole years!
His son and daughter-in-law are gone, and his grandson hides in a dark and gloomy room every day, trembling with fear, and has never uttered a word since.
At this moment, Xiao Ruanruan was feeling apprehensive. Although Chen Jie's gaze was pure, the situation was too sudden and too strange. She had no idea what to do!
Is she going to pretend that she is an angel?
If she wants to pretend she's an angel, what should she say now?
Little Ruanruan has never been this nervous in her life...
Just as she was about to say something, pretending to be an angel, Chen Jie suddenly bent down and took her hand, his hoarse voice softly saying, "Angel, can you take me away? There are so many fires here, I'm so scared..."
As Chen Jie spoke, his body trembled violently.
As he finished speaking, drool dripped from the corner of his mouth again.
Once they got closer, Xiao Ruanruan realized that he wasn't drooling because he was stupid and couldn't control his facial muscles, but because of extensive burns on his face, which prevented him from closing his mouth properly, hence the constant drooling.
However, with current cosmetic surgery technology, although his face cannot be completely repaired, it can be repaired to the point where there are no functional impairments.
Little Ruanruan took Chen Jie's hand, which seemed to be covered in scars, and said in her soft, childlike voice, "Okay, I'll take you away."
Chen Jie grinned, revealing an ugly but sincere smile.
(Yes, I've been writing two chapters every day, each over 4,000 words. I haven't been slacking off, I really haven't.)
