Chapter 39: Bandaging the Wound
Chapter 39
Just as the three of them were lost in thought, Lin Wuwu suddenly slapped Lin Zaozao's hand away and shrank back.
"Ow! That hurts so much. Lin Wuwu, why did you slap me so hard? I was just going to wash your little bottom and caterpillar. I'm your older sister now, you naughty little kid, what do you have to be shy about?"
Having said that, she grabbed Lin Wuwu's arm with one hand and reached for his lower body with the other.
But before she could make a move, Lin Wuwu grabbed her hand.
Lin Zaozao looked up at Lin Wuwu's now clean face, and her eyeballs nearly popped out.
Good heavens! She must have picked up a treasure! How could this naughty little kid she randomly picked up have such an exquisite face?
Lin Zaozao turned to look at Lin Wanwan, two identical faces. Although their complexions were somewhat sallow due to malnutrition, their little faces were still as delicate as porcelain dolls.
When these two good-looking kids grow up, they will surely drive many young girls crazy!
Just as Lin Zaozao's eyes lit up as her mind ran wild with thoughts about Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan's future lifelong events, Ye Yi took the soap from Lin Zaozao's hand and gestured for her to stand back. 𝖋𝔯𝔢𝔢𝖜𝖊𝖇𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖊𝔩.𝖈𝖔𝖒
"Are you saying you'll wash them instead?"
Ye Yi nodded.
"Alright then! Go ahead and wash them! These naughty little kids have grown up and become shy. It's just washing their bottoms, what's there to be shy about?"
Lin Zaozao looked over the blushing little kids, then glanced at Ye Yi before suddenly exclaiming in astonishment as if she had discovered a new continent.
"Ye Yi, I just noticed that these two cheap little brothers I picked up look seven parts similar to you! If not for the small difference in your ages, I'd think they were your illegitimate children!"
Lin Zaozao's words made Ye Yi's body stiffen for a moment before he smiled helplessly. He pulled Lin Zaozao's hand, signaling for her to walk back.
"Alright alright, I'm going. Ye Yi, after you finish washing them, don't let them put their clothes back on. When we get back to the yard, I'll have that fake mystic Ji Fantian bandage their wounds before they get dressed."
Waving at Ye Yi and the two little kids, Lin Zaozao dragged her heavy body back towards the yard.
After walking all day, she was really f**king tired!
Back in the yard, Lin Zaozao looked at the furniture and packages filling the space. She cleared her throat then yelled loudly.
"Ji Fantian, Murong Hai, Ruo Qiu..."
"What's up?" Murong Hai came out of the kitchen carrying a bucket of water.
"Nothing much, Murong Hai. I'm too tired to move. Help me tidy up the furniture. Oh right, three beds, one each for me, Chu Shan and Ji Fantian. The rest of the beddings, clothes, shoes, and whatnot, I bought for everyone, so help me distribute them."
"Lin Zaozao, you even bought us clothes?" Murong Hai asked incredulously.
"I did! What, you don't like them? If you don't, give them back! What's with that look on your face?"
"Since you've bought them already, why would I not want them?" Murong Hai put down the bucket, picked up a bed and headed towards Lin Zaozao's room.
After setting up the bed and putting on the new beddings for Lin Zaozao, Murong Hai began distributing the other furniture with Ruo Qiu.
Taking this chance, Lin Zaozao plopped down next to Ji Fantian and diligently kneaded his legs.
"Fantian~"
"Cough cough cough... Lin Zaozao, speak properly."
"Oh dear! You're so mean!"
"Lin Zaozao, if you keep talking like this, I'm leaving."
Hearing Ji Fantian's threat, Lin Zaozao grabbed his arm and asked tentatively,
"Ji Fantian, do you know medicine?"
"I do, what are you thinking?"
"I just took in two little brothers. They are both injured. Can you help treat their wounds? If you lack any medicine, I'll buy it for you tomorrow."
"Just this?"
"Yes! Just this."
"Easy. But Lin Zaozao, what will you give me in return for healing those kids?"
"Give you something in return? Ji Fantian, you should have some conscience! Not only did I buy you a bed today, I also got you a table, chairs, clothes, beddings and more. Of course, if you find those things too vulgur... How about, to repay you, I offer myself to you? What do you think?"
"Forget it, I'll just take the stuff. I'll have to decline the offer of your body. I'm afraid my frail physique would be crushed to death by you tomorrow morning."
Lin Zaozao mercilessly squeezed Ji Fantian's shoulder as she candidly evaluated,
"You do look rather frail, almost girly."
"Lin Zaozao!"
"What? Changed your mind and want me to offer myself now?"
"Get lost!"
"I'm not getting lost." Lin Zaozao clung tightly to Ji Fantian's arm and grinned,
"Ye Yi brought Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan back just as Lin Zaozao and Ji Fantian were tussling.
Seeing the three little mutes walking over, Lin Zaozao couldn't help but heave a long sigh.
Heavens! Two more disabled people who couldn't speak had been added to her small yard.
And these two disabled people were brought back by her, Lin Zaozao, herself.
Standing up, Lin Zaozao grabbed Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan's arms and pushed them to sit beside Ji Fantian.
"Ji Fantian, these are the kids. See if you can treat their wounds. The injuries on these little rascals are really severe."
Ji Fantian paid no heed to Lin Zaozao. He reached out both hands and grasped Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan's wrists.
After a moment, he let go and frowned, "Lin Zaozao, do you know what poison is in their bodies?"
"Isn't it wolf poison?"
"Then do you know that wolf poison is also an incurable poison? If I'm not wrong, these children were raised by wolves since young.
That's why the wolf poison has seeped into their bones little by little as they grew up until now.
The wolf poison in their bodies now is beyond cure. Lin Zaozao, these kids are beyond saving."
"Stop, Ji Fantian. I only asked you to bandage their wounds. As for the poison in their bodies, I have a way to resolve it."
"You can cure wolf poison?"
Ji Fantian looked up slightly, disbelief in his voice.
"I can, but I'll have to pay some price. Stop yapping and hurry up and bandage their wounds! The sky is already dark, you won't be able to see soon."
Hearing Lin Zaozao's urging, Ji Fantian didn't probe further. But countless doubts arose in his heart.
How could someone who can cure wolf poison not know how to apply bandages! Also, she said she had to pay a price to cure the wolf poison. He wondered what price she would have to pay.
With these thoughts, Ji Fantian stood up, pulled Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan's hands and headed towards his room.
Lin Zaozao had wanted to follow and watch, but was nearly hit in the nose by the door Ji Fantian slammed shut.
"Damn! He's eaten gunpowder, so violent for no reason! I just wanted to see how he bandages wounds! It's not like he would lose any meat!"
