Chapter 5: Escape (12)

Despite the crooked cruciform stitches, by the fifth and sixth stitches, she had already got the hang of it. She began to know at what angle the needle would make it relatively easy to suture, and how far the thread would fit the wound without tearing the flesh and skin.

Beads of sweat fell in large pieces, human skin was tougher than it seemed on the surface, and the more Sha Ting finally felt that she had to exert all her strength with every stitch!

Tired and unbearable, miserable.

The mass of threads in the glass bottle became smaller and smaller, and Sha Ting had no extra stitches, and she was worried that the remaining threads would not be enough to finish such a large wound, when the laceration came to an end, and a complete and clean skin finally appeared under the stitches.

The hardest part is done!

She dipped gauze in warm water, washed the wound again, applied a thin layer of comfrey cream to the centipede-like sutures, and wrapped a loose bandage.

Sha Ting felt her brother let out a sigh of relief, and the tense muscles in his body relaxed, and he smiled at Sha Ting tiredly, and closed his eyes in exhaustion.

Looking at the clean wound on her brother's arm, Sha Ting's heart was filled with burning pride!

And it did! I actually did!

Tears of excitement overflowed from the eyes, only to be quickly replaced by sobs of sadness. She couldn't believe that only a hundred days had passed since her mother's death, and she and her brother had ended up in such a field.

"Did that all that strange witch in the back mountain teach you?"

When Seren was questioned behind Sha Ting, she was taken aback! She had been so engrossed in it that she had completely forgotten that Threyn existed. I think she should have stayed in the shadow in the corner of the house and watched silently.

"Yes, Mother. However, not all, the school also has a medical course. Sha Ting hurriedly got up and replied.

She almost told the truth—mostly from her mother's teachings, but she didn't think Serene would like it.

Seren Yin handed over a torn blanket and slammed it at Axon Nunu, who was lying on the ground. Sha Ting bowed gratefully to her before taking the blanket and half-covering it over her brother.

"How much is your tuition short?" "I mean, how much money does your brother make?" How much more do you need to get to school? ”

Sha Ting stood up and looked up at Seren's face.

At that time, she was still a young beauty, with a delicate and compact jaw line, clear facial contours and dark eyes without temperature, which made her seem unapproachable—when faced with Satine and Ah Xun alone, Serenin had always been this rejecting image from thousands of miles away.

She thought a lot before giving the correct numbers - she wanted to take my word and see how much money we had in our hands now? She wanted to see if I still had the unrealistic idea of going to school. She'll tell her father! She's going to take our money, and my brother and I are going to get beaten!

She carefully read the expression on Serenin's face in the shadows, she frowned slightly, and Sha Ting didn't see the look of coaxing or quick success.

Although it was later that Sha Ting learned that Serenne had a more long-term plan. But even if the gods opened their eyes and made everything all over again, speaking the truth might still be the only right choice for Sha Ting.

"My brother earned about thirteen silver rings. There are still seven silver rings left. Sha Ting said.

Serenin snorted softly, "Didn't you make a lot of money, so you were arrogant like this!" He was asking for his own blow! ”

She turned away.

Sha Ting lowered her head in disappointment, secretly laughing at herself in her heart.

What do you think? How could this woman care about the wishes of a child who had nothing to do with her? She didn't even care if they lived or died.

Threnin turned back again, she bent slightly at Sha Ting, and whispered, "I didn't take your money." I don't take anything from an unknown source. That's dangerous! ”

Sha Ting didn't know what she meant by saying this seriously, so she had to reply, "I know, Mother." How could it be you. I must have lost it myself. ”

Therence stared at Sha Ting for a moment, but didn't say anything more.

After Serene left, Satine gently cleaned up the antechamber, set up tables and chairs, cleaned up broken bottles and dishes, and scrubbed the floor. She then lay down beside her brother and watched over him all night, praying to the gods for him. She was worried that he would have a fever, which would mean an infection of the wound, and that in the late summer and early autumn, when yellow fever was high, it would be a much tougher war, and she would certainly not win.

At least on that day, the gods listened to her prayers and did not take her brother away from her.

When Xiao Se first appeared, Ya Xun woke up, and he gently shook his sister's hand.

"Is it cold on the ground? How can you lie here. I can move, help me up, let's go upstairs. ”

Sha Ting gently kissed his swollen eyes. After that torturous night yesterday, she deeply realized the love between brother and sister, and this is the only person who will always treat her sincerely and can rely on her for life.

"Good sister, good Sha Ting, why are you crying? I'm fine. It's nothing, I'll be able to recover soon! Don't cry, Satine...... I'm sorry, you may still not be able to go to school for the time being, but I'll ......"

"Brother, don't say it. I didn't want to go to school at all! Sha Ting wiped away her tears and helped her brother up.

She pulled out a small package from the blanket that was pressed under her. There were a few clean changes of clothes, rolled gauze, a small half box of comfrey cream, and that bulging little money bag.

"Let's go! I've got everything sorted out for you. Serenne slept soundly, and her father would not be able to return for a while. Hurry up and get to the port now, find a ship to set sail, don't care where you're going, just get out of here! Brother, let's go now! She placed the package on Ah Xun's lap.

Ya Xun could distinguish the difference between the soft clothes and the hard silver ring in the package on his legs, he stared at his poor little sister in front of him with wide eyes, stretched out his uninjured arm and hugged her thin body tightly, and cried: "Sha Ting, you fool! Who do you think he's going to find out when I'm gone?! ”

"No, my father rarely beats me. I just said I don't know when you ran away, they still need me, they won't do anything to me! I can't run fast at my age, and I can't do anything, it will only hold you back. That's enough money for you to heal your injuries. Brother, listen to Sha Ting, let's go now! ”

Ya Xun put his arm around Sha Ting's shoulders and looked down at her, "Sha Ting, I won't leave you!" You know, that's impossible. I'd rather be beaten here by him than leave you, sister! ”

"But I'll take the lesson," he said firmly, "and I won't pay attention to him if he calls me a dirty reptile or a damn brute." No matter what he says, I'll just assume it's a mad dog barking. Sha Ting, I will work hard to make money, and when we save up a sum of money, when you are older, we will leave together! ”

This is how a child who has lost his mother lives in difficulty, being punished for the mistakes of others, being beaten for protesting, and then learning to bow his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes in the midst of insults and pain, and learning not to complain, which is a sad lesson that will be remembered forever.

When the brother and sister decide to temporarily bow to fate in order to survive each other, life takes a turn for the better.
