Xu Qing put the half-eaten cornbread into her innermost pocket.

The rough surface rubs against the skin.

He jogged all the way back to the dormitory.

Push open that broken wooden door.

The room was empty.

The other children ran around wildly in the yard after finishing their meals.

Xu Qing walked straight to the innermost corner.

The tattered clothes that were disguised on the bed remained exactly as they were.

He quickly lifted his clothes.

Jiang Yue's condition worsened.

The effects of the fever reducer have completely worn off.

Her temperature spiked again.

His forehead was burning hot.

My lips are dry, cracked, and bleeding.

I was shivering uncontrollably in bed.

He mumbled incoherently.

"I'll beat you to death, you bastard..."

"Don't steal my steamed buns..."

"Xu Qing, run!"

Xu Qing listened to these fragmented words.

My heart feels heavy and uncomfortable.

He reached out to touch Jiang Yue's face.

Jiang Yue was startled by the icy touch.

She struggled to open one eye a crack.

My vision was blurred for a while before I could see the person in front of me clearly.

She saw Xu Qing's hands, which were covered in blood blisters and sawdust.

Jiang Yue twitched the corner of her mouth.

"You idiot."

Her voice was hoarse and distorted.

"Who told you to do my work?"

"With your chubby frame."

Xu Qing ignored her complaints.

He put his hands inside his clothes.

He took out the half of the steamed bun that had been warmed by his body heat.

It's still very hard.

Xu Qing turned around and picked up the chipped enamel mug.

There was also half a tub of cooled boiled water inside.

He broke the cornbread into pieces the size of a fingernail.

Drop them into the water little by little to soften them.

Then use that old chopstick to stir it into a paste.

He sat back down on the edge of the bed, carrying the enamel mug.

Use chopsticks to pick up a little bit of the paste.

He carefully brought it to Jiang Yue's lips.

Jiang Yue actually had no appetite at all.

My stomach was churning and I felt nauseous.

But she looked into Xu Qing's expectant eyes.

He forced his mouth open.

The paste went down my throat.

It was pulling on my inflamed tonsils.

She was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat.

Xu Qing was very patient.

Feed it a mouthful.

Let's pause for a moment.

Wait until Jiang Yue has completely swallowed before feeding her the second bite.

The mushy mixture that had filled most of the tank was finally gone.

The food was swallowed.

Jiang Yue's complexion regained a little bit of its vitality.

It was no longer that deathly gray, pale white.

She was about to say something more to mock Xu Qing.

His body suddenly convulsed.

"hiss--"

Jiang Yue gasped.

He covered his right thigh tightly with both hands.

Cold sweat instantly broke out on my forehead.

Xu Qing sensed that something was wrong.

Jiang Yue never complains of pain, even when she breaks a bone.

Now he's in so much pain.

He grabbed Jiang Yue's blanket.

They simply ripped off the tattered quilt.

An extremely foul stench instantly filled the air.

That was the smell of rotting flesh.

Xu Qing's gaze fell on Jiang Yue's thighs.

Those tattered cotton trousers were already soaked in blood and stiffened.

Xu Qing found a pair of rusty scissors.

Cut along the seam of the trouser leg.

The wound was completely exposed to the air.

Xu Qing's breathing stopped.

The bloody hole left by the black dog's bite.

It has completely changed now.

The skin around the wound was a horrifying purplish-black color.

The skin and flesh in the middle are turned outwards.

Yellowish-green pus was constantly seeping out.

You can even see the whitish tissue inside.

Xu Qing stared intently at the wound.

The two expired fever reducers that Erlei gave me were completely useless.

The wound is severely infected.

If this drags on any longer...

Jiang Yue will not only lose this leg.

They would even risk their lives.

Jiang Yue was trembling all over from the pain.

She looked at Xu Qing's murderous expression.

He even laughed out loud.

She forced a smile that looked more like a grimace than a cry.

"What are you looking at?"

"Never seen a beautiful woman get injured before?"

"Don't make that deadpan face."

"I, Jiang Yue, am like a cockroach."

"He's incredibly resilient."

"This minor injury won't kill me."

Even the King of Hell would avoid me.

Xu Qing listened to these boastful nonsense.

My eyes slowly reddened, and my heart was filled with deep self-blame and helplessness.

If I hadn't gone to that abandoned warehouse last night...

If I could beat Er Lei and his gang.

Jiang Yue wouldn't go to the back mountain to save him.

Then I wouldn't have been bitten like this by that big black dog.

He couldn't even bring himself to say sorry.

It's just a useless burden.

Xu Qing looked at Jiang Yue's pale face.

Can't wait any longer.

You must find a real doctor.

We must get anti-inflammatory drugs and tetanus shots.

There is actually a medical room in the welfare home.

Xu Qing quickly recalled the events in her mind.

The medical clinic is located on the far east side of the first floor of the office building.

An elderly school doctor surnamed Liu usually works there.

That old man has a terrible temper.

Besides seeing patients for the hospital director, I also regularly...

These orphans were basically dealt with by just getting some red medicine.

Moreover, the medicine cabinet in the clinic is usually locked.

Xu Qing secretly plotted in his heart.

You definitely won't get it if you insist on it.

The only option is to steal.

Or go and rob it.

No matter what method is used.

Even if it means knocking that old man unconscious.

He also needs to get the medicine back.

Just as Xu Qing was plotting how to sneak into the infirmary.

A rustling sound came from the side.

Xu Qing suddenly turned her head.

Er Lei slipped back into the house at some point.

He was lying face down on his bed.

Peeking over here with their heads sticking out.

Erlei's leg is still swollen.

He originally wanted to see if Jiang Yue was dead or not.

The result was that their eyes met Xu Qing's.

Er Lei was startled by that look and his whole body trembled.

He scrambled back into his bed.

He covered his head tightly with that tattered quilt.

They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Xu Qing withdrew her gaze.

I don't have time to deal with this jerk right now.

He picked up the broken enamel basin.

I ran quickly to the water room in the yard.

I filled a basin halfway with clean, cold water.

He then tore off a relatively clean strip of cloth from his tattered clothes.

He carried the basin of water back to Jiang Yue's bedside.

He soaked the strips of cloth in cold water.

Wring out the water.

He cautiously moved closer to Jiang Yue's thigh.

Jiang Yue was in so much pain that she fell into a semi-conscious state again.

Xu Qing moved extremely lightly.

He wiped away the pus and blood from the edges of the wound little by little.

Every time you touch it.

Jiang Yue's body would instinctively twitch.

Xu Qing's hands were very steady.

He cleaned up all the foul-smelling, yellowish-green liquid.

The bright red flesh inside was exposed.

It was still shocking.

But at least it doesn't look as disgusting anymore.

The wound has been cleaned.

Xu Qing threw the dirty strip of cloth into the basin.

Jiang Yue was extremely restless while in a coma.

Her hands flailed wildly in mid-air.

It seemed to be driving away something terrible.

Xu Qing quickly went over.

Jiang Yue grabbed Xu Qing's clothes.

She held on very tightly.

The knuckles are completely white.

She had almost torn the fabric of this tattered cotton-padded jacket to shreds.

She clung to this piece of clothing as her only lifeline.

Xu Qing did not break free.

He sat down on the edge of the bed.

He let Jiang Yue hold him tightly.

He stretched out his hand, which was covered in blood blisters.

Gently place it on Jiang Yue's back.

Start by gently patting.

a bit.

Two times.

Three times.

The pace is very slow.

The force was very light.

He gave her a sense of security through this silent companionship.

Jiang Yue's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly with the gentle patting.

My breathing also calmed down.
