The little girl seemed to have sensed something. She opened her eyes and saw him. She didn't know when he got up, but he was there himself. He started to dig up the 'fruits of her hard work' from yesterday.
However, Ji Yanxi ignored her and only focused on his actions to tell her what he was doing. The conditions for the bandage to be left off, the little girl didn't know that she had to change the things used for the binding every day. It was as if she was infected, and the last layer of fabric was already sticking together with the meat.
"Can you find me a pair of scissors and some water?" Ji Yanxi had only torn off a small piece, so he did not dare make any big moves with the rest.
After an unknown period of time, she carefully returned with a basin of water. In her hand was a pair of scissors, which she placed next to the bed.
"I advise you not to look. What happens next is rather bloody." Ji Yanxi told her in advance because he was afraid that the little girl wouldn't be able to accept it.
Little Ji Yanxi bit her lower lip tightly, as if she had made a huge decision. After hesitating for a while, she still took up the scissors and slowly cut at the cloth, revealing a wound that was badly mutilated.
Little Ji Yanxi grimaced in pain, but he did not stop what he was doing. He used water to clean the area where he was injured.
When the cold water came in contact with the wound, little Ji Yanxi finally let out a painful cry. His expression was filled with pain, but he knew that he had to resolve this matter quickly, hence he forced himself to remove a piece of cloth from his chest to bandage the wound again before he laid back down, sweating profusely.
"You … Are you alright? " The little girl watched the whole scene unfold. She was shocked. When she came back to her senses, she wanted to help him wipe off his sweat, but there was nothing around her.
"You're so powerful. Unlike me, I don't know anything. "
"This is my first time." Ji Yanxi only saw that her bag was too ugly so he was afraid of inflaming his wounds. " By the way, do you have a phone here? "
"I think only Uncle Li, who just entered the city a few days ago, took one." A mobile phone was considered rare here, after hearing what she said, Ji Yanxi realized this point.
"Can you write?" Ji Yanxi thought, he could not make a phone call, it was enough to send a letter, right?
"A little." The little fishing village was located in a remote area, and even the children had to leave for a long time for school. Moreover, her mother hadn't let her go to school yet, so she had always secretly gone to the classroom to listen to classes.
"A little is fine, just find a piece of paper and help me send a letter." Ji Yanxi pondered in his heart about how those simple words could transmit his message here.
"I don't have any money, so I have to buy the letter with money. Besides, Mom won't buy me a pen." The little girl lowered her head in frustration.
Ji Yanxi touched his own pocket. Luckily, the hundred and fifty dollars that his grandfather had given him was still there.
"Yes, I do." The rest is yours. "
The little girl looked at the red hair in his hand and opened his eyes in surprise.
This is a hundred ah, Mom can usually use it to buy a lot of things, the city people are really rich.
The little girl took it over with great care, and then followed little Ji Yanxi's instructions.
Ji Yanxi was waiting for the girl to finish buying things in the rundown house. But she did not return from the morning until the evening.
She didn't look like the kind of girl who would open her eyes to money. Did something happen?
The little girl was currently being held at home by her mother, cursing and swearing over and over again.
"Yang Datou from the store told me today that you took a hundred to buy things. You've grown in ability, and you actually learned how to steal money. Tell me, where's the rest of the money?"
"I didn't steal it. Someone gave it to me." After the little girl said that, her mother hit her even harder.
"Someone else? Tell me who else it is. "
The little girl remembered that Ji Yanxi had told her before that she couldn't tell anyone where he was, "I … I can't say. "
"You better reflect on it at home. Don't eat dinner tonight." The mother went out and locked her in her room.
The little girl thought of that little boy who was still waiting for her. She was extremely anxious, so she gritted her teeth and stomped her foot. Then, she secretly jumped out of the window.
She didn't buy anything, but she definitely had to find what the little boy wanted. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to keep her word.
All she could do was muster up the courage and knock on Uncle Li's door. It just so happened that he was the one who opened the door, his face full of sleepiness.
"Uncle Zhang, I have something that I need your help with." The little girl clutched the money in her hands.
"It's Xiaomo. Is there something urgent in the middle of the night?" Uncle Li yawned.
"Can you bring your cell phone with you to a place with me? "Or, I'll buy your phone for ninety and bring it to you tomorrow morning."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Li immediately lost all sleep. This phone was something he had picked up on the way back home. It didn't cost a penny. But now, he actually had to spend ninety dollars for one night. No matter how he thought about it, this was still a profit for him.
"I won't go with you. It's not impossible to borrow a phone, but you have to give me the money first. " The little girl obediently took out the ninety yuan from her pocket. Uncle Li entered the room and gave her his phone.
"It's a deal. Just for one night." "If I get lost, I'll get your mom to compensate me." Uncle Li shut the door and went back to sleep.
The little girl quickly nodded her head and guaranteed it over and over again, but Uncle Li had already disappeared, and the little girl could not care about anything else, holding her phone, she jogged over to where Ji Yanxi was.
"Um, I didn't come late on purpose. I was locked in my room by my mom and couldn't get any stationery. However, I bought Uncle Li's phone with your money for the night.
Ji Yanxi looked at her panting and took the phone from her. Heh, isn't this his phone?
After flipping to the address book, he found that his grandpa's number was also there. He dialed it.
"Hey, grandpa, I've made you worry. "I'm fine, well, I'm here now. Okay, I'll wait for you to come pick me up." Little Ji Yanxi calmly finished his call and habitually put his phone back in his pocket. The little girl looked at him.
"That... I promised Uncle Li that I would return the phone to him tomorrow. "
"I lost this before." Ji Yanxi did not give it to her. There was a location inside the phone, so his grandfather should be able to find him soon, so he had to keep it.
"But Uncle Li wants me to return it tomorrow. Or he'll go to my mother. Moreover, this place is quite far from our village, so I have to return first. " The little girl was worried that her mother would find out that she was gone, so she immediately ran back home.
Ji Yanxi watched as she limped. Was she being beaten up again for his sake?
"Stop, you can stay here tonight."
"No, if I don't go back, my mom will beat me to death." The little girl shook her head and prepared to go back.
"If you don't bring your phone back now, she'll beat you to death even more. Besides, I'm not feeling well." The helpless Ji Yanxi could only lie to her.
