A bed, a wardrobe, a table, and on the table is a collection of novels called "Old Life".

It's a big room, and that's all there is to this room.

By the way, there's also a dim lamp hanging from my head.

Li Minghui looked at Ella, who deliberately turned her head to ignore her, and her hand holding the water cup and medicine stopped in the air awkwardly.

He looked at Ella's shrunken petite body at a loss, next year older than himself, but like a poor and helpless kitten, people couldn't help but feel pity.

For two days in a row, she ignored Ella for two days after bringing him back, which made Li Minghui feel that his young heart had been hurt somewhat.

Because Ella knew about letting Lisa out, and Ella was still angry with him about it.

Looking at the book on the table, Li Minghui noticed a homemade wooden bookmark sandwiched inside.

He turned to that page and read this passage.

Do you know the name of such a tree? Its leaves are still green until they fall off, but the back of the leaves is drying up little by little and is eaten by insects. The leaves hide this side until the leaves fall and give the green side. If you know the name of that tree, you know.

Deliberately draw a horizontal line with a red pen.

Li Minghui turned his head to look at Ella, who was facing the wall, and his expression darkened.

"Ella?"

Lee Minghui whispered again, but Ella still didn't respond to him.

"In the future..."Li Minghui plucked up his courage, looked at Ella's small body shrunk in the quilt, and said in a firm tone: "No matter what happens in the future, I will protect you." ”

Ella's body tightened as if she had been electrocuted.

"I put the medicine and water on the table, remember to eat it."

Bang –

The dilapidated wooden door closed, and Ella tugged at the quilt, the knuckles of her fingers flushed with too much force.

Tears flowed unconsciously and soaked the pillow.

Ella closed her eyes in pain.

Does she still have the luxury of being happy?

Li Minghui, who was standing outside the door, looked at the wooden door in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

I knew there was a knock on the door downstairs.

"Who?"

Li Minghui walked to the door, and the door only opened a crack in the door so that he could see who was outside.

A young man who looked a little sloppy, his beard had not been taken care of for some time, his unkempt black hair hung down to his shoulders, but his blue eyes looked quite energetic.

"Uh..." The visitor saw that the door was opened by a face that he had never seen before, and he was subconsciously stunned for a moment: "Hello little brother, is Ella there?" ”

As if he had guessed the young man's intention, a look of disgust flashed in Li Minghui's eyes: "No, please don't come back in the future." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Minghui was about to close the door.

"Wait a minute!" The young man stretched out one foot and squeezed into the crack in the door, forcing Li Minghui to stop: "You misunderstood, I'm not here... That's. ”

"Say it quickly."

Li Minghui looked at the man suspiciously and urged.

"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Ann, a healing mage."

A white fluorescent glow appeared in Ann's hand, proving his identity.

Li Minghui's eyes lit up.

He knew very well in his heart how precious a healing mage was, whether it was in the outer city or in the inner city, this kind of mage was an extremely rare existence, and once a healing mage with no power background appeared, he would definitely become the target of major forces.

"Ahem, you should know that." Noticing the change in Li Minghui's eyes, he was overjoyed: "The medical conditions here are not very good, and the quacks can't cure Ella's injuries at all, so I came." ”

"Remuneration?"

Li Minghui withdrew his surprised gaze, secretly annoyed that he was acting too emotional.

"On that note, I'd like to talk to Ella, after all—" Ann shrugged, "and her consent is needed." ”

Li Minghui's eyes instantly turned cold.

"But don't worry, I'm not like those animals who only think on the lower half of their bodies." Ann pointed to the street behind her, and the meaning was self-evident.

“... Come in, I'll take you there. ”

Li Minghui hesitated for a moment, but still put it in, after all, healing brilliance can't be faked.

Outside Ella's room with Ann, Lee knocked on the door.

"I've already drunk the medicine, if there's nothing important, please talk about it tomorrow."

Li Minghui was a little angry, why didn't she pay attention to her physical condition? Some of the wounds have already festered.

He forced the door open, and then he heard Ella's screams.

Ann shook her head and turned around.

The remaining half of the glass of water on the table was splashed on Li Minghui's face.

The two retreated, and did not dare to enter until Ella had finished changing her clothes and opened the door herself.

And Li Minghui kept his head down, blushing and not daring to look at Ella.

"So what are you doing here? You know there's no way I'm going to promise you. ”

Ella sat on the bed and looked at Ann impatiently, and from her tone it sounded like the two were old acquaintances.

"We can talk about this slowly, and now I'm here to help you see the wound." An smiled and said, "After all, those crazy people don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. ”

Ella looked Ann in the eye and made sure he wasn't lying before she turned around, half-stripped, revealing her whip-scarred back.

Ann looked at the wounds and raised her hand to lightly touch one of the scars that slanted across Ella's back.

Ella took a deep breath of cool air in pain, and subconsciously tensed her body.

"These bastards are really ruthless." Ann couldn't bear to say, "Even an adult man may not be able to survive their hands, and I have to admire you, Ella." ”

The healing glow lit up and sprinkled little by little on Ella's back, a little cold at first, but soon Ella felt like she was wrapped in a layer of warm water.

"Just lucky, he saved me." Ella whispered.

"Who?"

"Just him." Ella raised a finger and pointed at Li Minghui, who was standing like a broom on the side.

"I can't see it, heroes have been teenagers since ancient times." An looked at Li Minghui and smiled.

"Okay, just rest for a while." An hesitated for a moment and said, "If he takes care of you in the future, you can also get out of the sea of suffering." ”

Ella didn't dare to look at Li Minghui's eyes for a while.

"No, it's time for him to leave."

Li Minghui pursed his lips, he had been afraid of Ella saying this.

Ella saved him, he saved Ella, and now no one owes anyone.

An looked at the two of them and sighed helplessly: "Ella, this matter is not as simple as you think, that bar is a big gold attraction for the Blackwater Gang, and now I don't know who picked it and killed the brother of the boss of the Blackwater Gang, and you are the only one who survived, what should you do without his protection?" ”

"What's more, Lisa is still young, and she still needs someone to protect her."

Li Minghui quietly glanced at Ella.

"But there's another way." Ann suddenly grinned, "You can give Lisa to me, as I proposed before." ”

Li Minghui looked at Ann with some astonishment, but he didn't expect that his purpose was actually Lisa, who was only about six years old?

"Oh, you're mistaken, I didn't mean that."

Feeling Li Minghui's unkind gaze again, An smiled and waved his hand: "I mean, let Lisa be my apprentice." ”

"It's your test subject, bastard."

Ella, who was touched by the scales, said angrily.

An noncommittal shrug.

"Feel free to say whatever you want, but after this little hero leaves, you and Lisa should also be taken away by the Blackwater Gang, I want to find the one who will let him give your sister to me as me, he shouldn't mind."

"Get out of here!"

Ella said angrily, raising her hand and pointing to the door.

"Well, have a nice night." Ann smiled, got up and walked out the door.

Then Ella's icy gaze fell on Li Minghui.

Li Minghui licked his lips, followed An and retreated, and gently closed the door.

It's better to let Ella calm down for now.
