Xu Hui's first reaction was baffled. She looked down and saw that the person holding onto him was a young girl who looked to be only twelve or thirteen. Her body was dirty and her face was full of fatigue. Xu Hui thought for a moment before lowering his body and squatting in front of her.
"Why did you pull me back?"
The young girl's expression was ugly as she panted heavily, "Can you help me?"
Just when Xu Hui wanted to speak, the woman fainted. Xu Hui had originally wanted to just leave her here. It was not that Xu Hui was not kind, but she was afraid that her identity as a woman would bring him trouble. Xu Hui did not dare to pick up a girl of unknown origin.
He lifted the purse in his hand and looked around to see if there was anyone nearby. He then stuffed some of the money under the girl's hand. Ye Zichen had wanted to leave directly, but then he thought that it would be troublesome if he met a bad person. However, Xu Hui did not dare to bring her back.
Sighing, Xu Hui patted the girl's face, hoping to wake her up. The girl opened her eyes and looked at Xu Hui. Xu Hui knew that she was too weak, so she did not say anything and directly said, "I do not dare to bring you back right now. If you want to go with me, you must tell me if you have enemies or not. If I bring you back, then you can nod your head and use your fingers if you don't have the strength to do so. "
With that, Xu Hui waited for the girl to answer. After an unknown period of time, Xu Hui finally felt the girl's finger move. She let out a long sigh, carried her on her back and walked back.
Along the way, Xu Hui was wondering why she had taken her back against her will. Originally, she wanted to leave some money for her before leaving, but her mind was filled with those people who had fainted and were picked up. Some of them had been raped and killed, and some of them had been dismembered. What's more, she had seen this girl's face before, so her looks weren't bad. It would indeed be a pity if she died just like that.
Xu Hui did not understand herself, and in the end, she could only attribute it all to fate. Although this woman was not heavy, Xu Hui was not a stocky woman. Therefore, after carrying her on his back for only a few steps, he started to feel tired. Fortunately, his home was not too far away, so Xu Hui was able to carry it on his back.
When they got home, Xu Hui arranged the girl in place and told Niu Niu to invite a doctor. He did not idle around at the back, so she helped the girl change her clothes while she was thinking if he could find some marks on her body. However, aside from the small crescent birthmark on the side of her middle finger, Xu Hui did not find anything that could prove her identity.
Xu Hui sighed. She could not tell if she was glad or disappointed, but she knew that Xu Hui did not want to cause him any trouble. Xu Hui was also exhausted after changing her clothes. Fortunately, Niu Niu came back soon, and there was also a doctor whom she had hired. Xu Hui looked at her and asked, "What's wrong with her?"
The doctor stroked his beard and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that she was too tired and lacked the rest. In addition, she had been starving for a long time, which caused her to fall unconscious. "As long as you take good care of her and add the pills I've prescribed for her, it won't take long."
Xu Hui nodded and gave him the medical fees that she needed. She then said, "Thank you. But please don't tell anyone about what happened today."
The doctor cupped his hands and bowed to Xu Hui, "There's no need to be so polite. In the future, come find me at the medicine shop in the west of the city if you need anything." With that, the doctor returned the extra coins to Xu Hui. Xu Hui was stunned for a moment before she responded, "Thanks a lot."
Watching him leave, Xu Hui stopped smiling and called out to Niu Niu. Xu Hui said, "Help sister-in-law fry the medicine. Call me when you're done. I'm going to sleep for a while. "
Although Niuniu did not know what was going on, she saw that Xu Hui was really tired, so she nodded and went out. Xu Hui watched Niu Niu leave and thought to herself, "It's good to have someone to talk to." While thinking about this, Xu Hui closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Xu Hui did not sleep for long. When she woke up, she went to the kitchen. Niuniu was boiling some medicine. Xu Hui walked over and patted her head to show her appreciation. She then went to the side and started to cook the porridge.
"Feel free to do it, sister-in-law. I can do it." Knowing that Niuniu would not stand on ceremony with him, Xu Hui began to cook. Since Niuniu did not know what had happened today, Xu Hui told her the whole story. After he finished talking, Xu Hui looked a little sad. "Tell me, is it right or wrong that I saved her like this?"
Niu Niu, who was a child, was clearer than Xu Hui, "How can it be wrong? Sister-in-law, you saved our lives, and now we are not poor. We had a good meal before when grandpa and grandma were around, and now there's only one person left. We won't lose our family." Besides, she might be a rich girl, and when she wakes up, she might even repay us. If you don't save her, you'll be dead, it won't be worth it then. "
Xu Hui was enlightened by Niu Niu's words, but she was still a little worried. "I'm not sure if she has enemies or not, why would a girl like her be in that place? To be honest, I can tell that she's probably running away."
Niuniu did not have much of a concept to deal with, and she did not have much to take into account. She just kept saying that she should be kind and do more good deeds. Seeing that Niuniu was willing to let things go, Xu Hui stopped struggling.
Recalling that the doctor had said that the girl was weak due to overwork, Xu Hui put more jujube peanuts into the porridge, hoping that she would wake up earlier.
Xu Hui and Niuniu went to feed the girl after they finished eating outside. After lying in Xu Hui's room for a long time, the girl seemed to have recovered some of her strength. This time, Xu Hui woke her up.
Xu Hui smiled at the girl in a friendly manner and asked, "What's your name?" The young girl's lips parted. "My name is Zheng Die." Xu Hui nodded. Originally, she had a lot of questions, but in the end, she could not say them out loud. "Take care of your body first. We can talk about them later."
Then, Xu Hui started to feed the porridge to Zheng Die. She seemed to be very hungry, and her appetite seemed to be very good. However, Xu Hui remembered that the doctor said she hadn't eaten for a long time.
