Chapter 445 -444 Epilogue (4)
Though the wooden cabin was enclosed, there still was a toilet with running water.
However, there were no electrical appliances.
Fortunately, the weather was not cold.
Yu Zhuyin took a bath but didn’t have clothes to change into, so she wore her skirt and washed her undergarments.
Then she carried a child into the room, “What should we do with this child now?”
Jiang Nanshu came back to her senses, her gaze landing on Youyou, who was shivering severely.
Her tiny face was pale, only two years old, and her skinny face made her eyes look unusually large.
She held back tears, wisely not crying loudly in such surroundings.
Jiang Nanshu sighed and told Yu Zhuyin, “Let her go.”
Then Yu Zhuyin released her, and free Youyou clung closely to the door.
Jiang Nanshu waved at her with a gentle smile on her face, “Come here.”
Youyou stood still for a few seconds before walking over to Jiang Nanshu’s side, clutching tightly to her skirt as if it were a lifeline.
When Jiang Nanshu touched her arm, she realized how feverishly hot her body was.
Upon touching her head, it was even hotter.
She immediately picked Youyou up and put her on the bed, “Yu Zhuyin, bring a wet towel over, the little girl has a fever.”
“Ah?” Yu Zhuyin just thought of refusing.
It was the first time she had been ordered around like this.
But she was afraid that Jiang Nanshu might really abandon her.
So, she obediently went to do it.
The towel was filthy, and Yu Zhuyin washed it several times before she even began to see its original color.
Jiang Nanshu wasn’t knowledgeable about medicines, but there were no medications here, so she could only use this method to try to reduce Youyou’s fever.
Jiang Nanshu went and knocked at the door, and after receiving Lao Wu’s impatient growls, she explained Youyou’s condition.
She should be in the hospital right now having just undergone surgery.
But the group mocked coldly, “It’s just a wretched girl’s life, if she dies, she dies; better worry if the seed in your belly will live instead.”
They were so cautious that they didn’t even open the door, not giving them a sliver of chance.
Jiang Nanshu returned disheartened.
Yu Zhuyin had changed basins of cold water several times.
“What did they say? The child looks so young, she should be sent to hospital, right?”
Jiang Nanshu shook her head, “They won’t care if she lives or dies, so whether she survives tonight is completely reliant on her own fate.” 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Yu Zhuyin was stunned for a moment.
She had seen too many people crying over the loss of their close ones in Miannan, where human life was deemed worthless, hardly ever generating any concern.
She had gone from being moved at the beginning to becoming numb.
Because her brother said, being kind to others is being cruel to oneself, you can only overcome others by being more ruthless than them.
Betrayal was rampant there.
To the extent that a friend talking to you one moment might pull a knife on you the next, the sharp blade piercing into your flesh.
Her gaze turned to the delirious Youyou, unable to help herself from saying, “Let’s forget it, this little girl is not related to you, if we have a chance to escape, she would just be a burden.”
Jiang Nanshu was still using a cold towel to wipe Youyou’s body, trying to cool her down, her tone indifferent, “But she is still alive, life isn’t as worthless as you think. She is a burden, and in this room, I am also a burden; if there’s a chance to escape, I couldn’t escape either.”
Jiang Nanshu was clear about her own situation.
Yu Zhuyin bit her lip, uttering harshly, “Well, if there’s a chance to run, I won’t care about whether you live or die!”
