Arc 3 Chapter 123: Scheming Lord, Cooperate a Bit (10)
"Xiao Liu, do you know where to find medicine for external and internal injuries?" After successfully avoiding the third guard's patrol, Luo Liyan breathed a sigh of relief.
Surprisingly, the security here in the brothel was even tighter than in her uncle's mansion.
It seemed that the women at this brothel attempted to escape quite often.
【There is a way, but the key is with the madam. You won't be able to get it. You should climb over the wall and buy some medicine outside and then come back.】
Luo Liyan considered this, and although it was easy to climb out, climbing back in would require waiting until the same time the next night. Looking at Weichi Che who was wasting away in silence, she's worried that he could die at any moment.
Unbelievably, the once mighty Weichi Che now appeared in this state.
Luo Liyan held a large bowl filled it with water from the well and returned to the woodshed after her risky trip outside. She found Weichi Che still staring at her.
If one looked carefully his gaze seemed relieved.
"I just went outside to search for medicine to treat your injuries, but I couldn't find any. So, for now I can only help you with physical cooling. But I might need to remove your clothes and it could be painful. Can you endure it?" Luo Liyan asked tentatively realizing that Weichi Che's injuries had left him too weak to speak.
"If you're willing then blink once."
Weichi Che stared at her intensely and after a long pause, he blinked his eyes.
Luo Liyan soaked a piece of cloth in the bowl and carefully removed his tattered clothes.
The sight of the gruesome injuries that covered him from head to toe made Luo Liyan, who initially disliked Weichi Che involuntarily gasp in shock. She was surprised that someone could be so cruel to an eight-year-old child.
Although Weichi Che would indeed become detestable in the future how could these people inflict such severe harm on such a young boy?
Luo Liyan felt a pang of empathy and suddenly understood why Weichi Che would turn out the way he did in the future if his childhood had been filled with such inhuman suffering.
"Poor thing, it doesn't hurt anymore. It doesn't hurt. I'll protect you from now on." Luo Liyan whispered as she held Weichi Che in her arms.
The warmth of her embrace and the affectionate tone of her voice left Weichi Che deeply moved. Since he could remember, no one had shown him any care. Why was this unfamiliar woman, who had just met him and was in dire straits herself so concerned about his well-being?
If all the suffering he had endured was to lead to meeting her, Weichi Che was willing to bear the weight of his painful past as long as she never left him.
He would be a good obedient child following her every word no matter what.
Luo Liyan sniffled, then after regaining her composure she gently cleaned Weichi Che's wounds with a wet cloth.
"Your injuries are quite severe and they won't heal without medicine. Here's the plan, I'll climb over the wall to buy medicine but the apothecary won't open until the first rooster crows. After I buy the medicine, I won't be able to come back. You'll have to wait for me here for a day and I'll return tomorrow night."
No... don't go!
Weichi Che cried out in his heart. He didn't want the kind big sister in front of him to leave. But if she stayed in the woodshed with him, she would eventually fall into the hands of those devils.
