Held by the arm, Zhang Xiaoshan couldn’t leave and had no choice but to turn around and brace himself to address the widow Su.
"Auntie Xiang i, the village head has already taken care of my matter. Rest assured, I will definitely keep my mouth shut. Don’t co looking for anymore, lest you get seen and people start gossiping..."
Who would have known that after hearing Zhang Xiaoshan’s words, Su Xiangi not only didn’t show the slightest sign of relief but instead shook his arm even more agitatedly.
"No, that’s not it..."
Su Xiangi kept shaking vigorously, seeming very anxious but unable to articulate a complete sentence.
"Auntie, has sothing happened?"
Zhang Xiaoshan, with his sensitive mind, had already sensed that sothing was amiss.
And sure enough, the next mont, Su Xiangi knelt in front of Zhang Xiaoshan, tears streaming down like rain, and she wailed continuously, saying,
"Little Shan, I beg you to save Little Ya, please save her, she’s still a child."
Su Xiangi’s daughter, Li Ya, had grown up following Zhang Xiaoshan around. Though not a biological sister, their relationship wasn’t too far off.
Upon hearing that Li Ya was in danger, Zhang Xiaoshan also beca anxious.
"Auntie Xiang i, don’t cry. First, tell what exactly happened, what’s wrong with Li Ya? Explain it to clearly..."
Zhang Xiaoshan pulled Su Xiangi up from the ground.
Only then did Su Xiangi, through sobs and tears, explain to Zhang Xiaoshan,
"Little Ya took a day off and ca ho yesterday. Today she has been bleeding non-stop down there, it’s almost a hemorrhage, she’s dying... We’re too far from the county hospital, I had no choice but to co to you for help. Little Shan, Little Ya is my lifeblood, and she has always been close to you, you must save her, I kneel before you."
Seeing Su Xiangi about to kneel again as she spoke, Zhang Xiaoshan knew the situation was urgent and imdiately intercepted her, saying earnestly,
"Let’s leave the courtesies and thanks for later; saving her is what matters."
Having said that, Zhang Xiaoshan took the first-aid kit from the health clinic and hurriedly rushed towards Su Xiangi’s ho.
Soon, the two of them entered the house.
Although the Li family was a large household in White Dragon Village, Su Xiangi, after all, was a widow who had lost her husband. In these mountains, without a strong man to provide labor, life naturally wasn’t too good. Su Xiangi’s ho didn’t even have a courtyard, just two rooms made of blue bricks and tiles, sitting on a small terrace, left by the deceased parents of her late husband.
One room was for cooking and piling up miscellaneous items, and the other room was where the mother and daughter lived.
Being a resident of White Dragon Village, Zhang Xiaoshan knew his way around and entered the bedroom where the mother and daughter lived without hesitation.
Pushing the door open, the room’s furnishings were very simple: a solid old wooden bed, a desk, a wardrobe, all several years old. Although the room was quite crude, it was clean and tidy.
However, this clean room was perated with a strong sll of blood.
It could almost be described as pungent.
The source of all the sll was that solid wooden bed.
The bedsheet and blanket on the solid bed were dyed black-red, and the blood kept dripping down onto the floor.
A slender young girl with a tall figure was lying on the bed.
The girl was none other than Su Xiangi’s daughter, Li Ya, currently a senior in high school in the county town, eighteen years old according to rural standards.
Li Ya was very beautiful, much more so than Su Xiangi; however, her face was as pale as paper at the mont, lacking even the slightest trace of color, and her pants were stained with blood. She curled up into a ball on the bed, shivering.
Li Ya, having lost her father at a young age, had developed an extrely strong character, enduring the pain even in the face of great suffering.
But the mont she saw Zhang Xiaoshan’s figure, this strong girl seed to have seen her own superhero.
Tears burst from her beautiful eyes, and with a shout, she burst into loud weeping.
"Brother Little Shan, it hurts, save ."
