The children were placed in an unused courtyard in the southwest corner of the government office. It was originally a guest room. There was no shortage of beds, quilts, etc. It could be occupied by simply tidying up.
But because there are a lot of children, it is impossible to arrange a separate room for each child. The living room and the penthouse were also used, and five or six people were accommodated in one room.
Xiao Zhao lived in a wing on the west side. When Shen Yizhi and others arrived, the children gathered around the door and window and looked inside.
In the house, several children who lived in the same room as Xiao Zhao gathered around his bed and kept calling his name.
This is what the maid ordered before going out.
There is a local saying that when a person is haunted, it is a sign that the soul has left the body. People next to him must keep calling his name to stop his soul. Otherwise, he might really not wake up.
"Brother Xiao Zhao, brother Xiao Zhao..." Nun Nong, who was the main soul caller, lay on the head of Xiao Zhao's bed, crying and calling.
Shen Yizhi quickly came to the bed and sat down on the edge of the bed. When she saw the little boy lying on the bed, she felt that he looked very familiar, but she didn't care about it now. She stretched out her finger and put it between the boy's eyebrows.
Gentle spiritual power penetrated his body and soothed his soul.
At the same time, she said softly: "Don't be afraid, it's okay. The bad guy has been executed and can't hurt you anymore. Wake up."
In Xiao Zhao’s dream, the scene of that day reappeared.
“Hahaha, this little thing is so slippery.”
“When my brother catches you, you have to have a good time.”
“The little face is so delicate, like a girl, I don’t know what it’s like to play with it...”
Several people approached him with a smile.
Deng Biao also appeared at some point, his rich and fair face no longer as kind as before, his eyes glowing green, "Hey, it's useless even if you run to the end of the world, you can't escape from my grasp." "Xin, you'd better come here on your own, otherwise you'll suffer a lot."
Xiao Zhao was surrounded by four people, with nowhere to escape, and the ground turned into a black swamp. His body kept sinking, sinking...
Deng Biao and the four others watched from the shore and stretched out their hands like devil's tentacles towards him.
"Do you want me to save you? Then hold my hand and listen to me..."
Let yourself be swallowed up by the black swamp, or be rescued ashore by Deng Biao and others and be ravaged?
Xiao Zhao didn’t know which option would not be so desperate.
At this moment, a soft and ethereal voice penetrated the space and reached his ears: "...Don't be afraid, wake up."
Xiao Zhao suddenly realized that everything in front of him was just a dream!
Xiao Zhao suddenly opened his eyes and met a pair of eyes full of soft light and warmth.
When Shen Yizhi saw his eyes, he suddenly remembered why he looked so familiar. Wasn't this the boy who had sold him jade glass? We met once again later.
It was just that his face was gray at that time, but now it was completely white, and she didn't recognize it for a moment.
But as soon as she saw his dark and calm eyes, she had an impression.
"Brother Xiaozhao, you finally woke up... burp—" Nong Neng hiccupped involuntarily.
The tears that were originally hanging on the eyelashes fell away due to this "burp".
Xiao Zhao sat up, stretched out his hand to wipe her face, "If you don't cry, I'm fine."
The other children rushed over to him when he woke up, expressing their concern in all directions.
This group of children have experienced all kinds of torture together, and they can be said to have gone through adversities together. Now they have become a team and have deep feelings for each other.
Shen Yizhi looked at it with a smile on his lips.
"Sister, you are a doctor, right?" Nong Nong came to her and carefully tugged on her sleeve.
Shen Yizhi knelt down to look at her level and touched her head, "Yes."
Nong Nong felt extremely comfortable under her gentle touch, and couldn't help but rub it into her hand. Her big eyes were narrowed, like a cute little kitten.
With her approval, she hurriedly pulled a girl over and said, "Sister, Qiaoer was injured on the face. She was so painful that she couldn't sleep at night. Can you help her take a look?"
Qiaoer is the little girl who was whipped in the orphanage before.
She timidly raised her eyes to glance at Shen Yizhi, then quickly lowered her eyelids and stared at the ground.
The flesh-and-blood scar was branded on the girl's little face, like an ugly centipede lying on it, which made the adults present couldn't bear to see it.
Xie Yun asked the maid: "The child is in so much pain that she can't sleep. Why don't you ask a doctor to take a look at her?"
When he came to see the children before, he had told her to take good care of them.
The maid said in frustration: "I invited the doctor, but she didn't let anyone get close to her at all. The doctor had no choice but to leave the ointment. I wanted to give Qiaoer medicine, but she avoided me, and I didn't Method."
These children have been frightened by the beatings, which have left a deep psychological shadow. Once anyone comes near, they will be like frightened birds.
Xie Yun sighed deeply, knowing that he could not blame the maid.
You can only turn your attention to Shen Yizhi.
He felt that the children were very close to her, and the girl named Nong Nong took the initiative to ask her for help.
Shen Yizhi's eyes fell on Qiao'er and he softened his tone: "Your name is Qiao'er, right? Don't be afraid. Sister has a very useful ointment here. After applying it, the wounds on your face will be healed soon." , no scars will be left.”
She gently held Qiao'er's hand. Qiao'er's body trembled slightly, but he did not refuse.
Shen Yizhi hugged her and sat down at the table, and asked Xiao Zhao, "Can you bring me a washbasin?"
Without saying a word, Xiao Zhao ran out immediately, and soon he came over with a basin and placed it in front of her.
Shen Yizhi cast a water ball technique and threw the condensed water ball into the basin.
When the children saw this scene, their eyes widened in surprise.
Qiaoer, who was still a little uneasy at first, was also attracted by this scene and stared at it intently.
Shen Yizhi used the fireball technique to heat the water, wet the handkerchief, and wiped Qiaoer's face carefully, especially around the scars, where there was some pus.
It has to be cleaned up.
Qiao'er felt her gentle and light movements and smelled the sweet fragrance of her body mixed with the fragrance of milk, and felt extremely at ease.
It would be great if this beautiful sister was her mother.
That's what she was thinking.
A pair of eyes that were always nervous were looking at her unblinkingly, full of admiration. Like a little milk animal looking at its mother, it is wet and black, arousing pity.
Shen Yizhi's heart softened when she saw him, and he applied the medicine more gently, fearing to shock her.
Nongnong and Xiaozhao were standing or squatting nearby, watching this scene quietly.
As a bystander, Xie Yun looked at Shen Yizhi surrounded by children, smiled happily, and walked out silently.
