Chapter 386 You Really Don’t Recognize Me Anymore
"Let’s go, let’s find someone together."
The two immediately left home, and upon reaching the county town, Mengyu first bought a large batch of meat buns. Then, she headed toward an abandoned factory on the north side of the county.
Xiao Hua followed Mengyu, feeling puzzled. Weren’t they supposed to find a gang? Why were they buying buns and heading toward this more desolate area?
Yet she did not ask, she just followed Mengyu closely.
Xiao Hua’s behavior greatly pleased Mengyu: This little sister was indeed no mistake, smart, insightful, not talkative, and had her own principles.
Why hadn’t she heard about her in her previous life?
However, in her previous life, she hadn’t taken her as her little sister, she must have been sold by her family, right? Actually, if it weren’t for her following her home yesterday, she might have already been bartered off to the gangster Tian Xianhua by her brother.
As they entered the abandoned factory, passing through the main gate and the rooms where doors and windows had already been taken down by people, they saw a few piles of torn cotton and three children huddled in a corner. Mengyu frowned.
Such a place could barely suffice in the hot weather, but now it was cold. Without doors and windows, the cold wind blew directly in. How could these people survive the winter?
However, this room was already the best among these dilapidated factory buildings. The others were in even worse shape, some with gaping holes in the ceilings, some with crumbling walls.
Although this one had gaping doors and windows, its roof and walls remained relatively intact.
Mengyu handed out large meat buns to the children: "Kids, is Ah Xin here?"
The oldest boy, about thirteen or fourteen, blocked Mengyu and Xiao Hua with suspicion: "Ah Xin is not here, who are you to him?"
Mengyu glanced at the other two children nestled in the cotton—a boy about eight or nine, staring wide-eyed at Mengyu and Xiao Hua, and a girl about five or six, sleeping in the cotton.
No, that girl’s face showed an abnormal redness; she was having a fever!
Mengyu pointed at the child, "She is sick, why didn’t you take her to see a doctor?"
The boy glared at Mengyu, then looked back at the sleeping girl, his face finally showing urgency: "We have no money to take her to see a doctor, we only bought her some fever-reducing pills, and she took them this morning."
Mengyu stuffed a bun into the boy’s hands: "Let me take a look at her."
The boy hesitated, looking at Mengyu and then at the girl’s fevered face, finally stepping aside: "Then, you check her."
Mengyu didn’t argue with a boy. First, she touched the girl’s forehead, confirming she was indeed burning up. She also checked the girl’s eyelids and tongue.
Mengyu had medicine, but she couldn’t bring it out. She thought, she should refine some medicine from the medicine encyclopedia.
"No, we must take her to the hospital immediately, if the fever continues, it could turn her into an idiot."
She turned to Xiao Hua: "Take her, go to the hospital!"
Without hesitating, Xiao Hua stepped forward, pulled the girl out of the cotton, and carried her.
Seeing the hesitant older boy, Mengyu shouted: "What are you waiting for? Do you want her to become an idiot before you take her to the doctor? Don’t worry, I’ll pay."
The boy clenched his teeth: "Consider it a loan from you."
Mengyu’s lips curved slightly: This stubborn, difficult child.
Indeed, this stubborn older boy was exactly who she was looking for in this trip, Ah Xin.
She turned to Lin Chengxin, following her: "Ah Xin, do you really not recognize me?"
Ah Xin looked up at Mengyu, his gaze filled with inquiry, realization, yet disbelief.
