Volume 1: Bloody Joy Chapter 42 Xinzhu (Part II)
"The peninsula near the sea sleeps soundly in the morning light, the huge branches of the trees dripping quietly, the peacocks dance on the silky lawn, the parrots play and tremble on the branches of the peach and poplar, and the elephants cross the plain to face the mirror-like sea......" The thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl knelt in front of the iron stove, the fire in the iron furnace was boiling, the kettle on the stove was steaming, the girl held the book in both hands, and read in a whisper in fascination.
The door of the medical hall at the entrance of the street was suddenly pushed open, and the wind carried the rain into the house.

"Doctor......" Zhan Hong's face was pale, his lips were purple, and he squeezed out two words in Xinzhu from between his teeth, and he trembled and raised his hand to take the filthy and foul-smelling piece of linen that was draped over his head. As he moved, the rain and blood on Zhanhong's body dripped onto the floor mat at the door.
The girl in the iQue poem was obviously taken aback, with her big black eyes open, holding the book in both hands to protect her chest, and it took a long time to react and speak, "My father has gone to the doctor. โ
Zhanhong nodded, then moved to the counter and said, "I can come by myself." With that, his feet went soft and he almost fell.
Seeing this, the girl stood up and took two steps to help: "Sir, are you uncomfortable?" As she spoke, she had already walked to Zhanhong's side, and she saw that Zhanhong was covered with wounds, especially the knife wound on his right shoulder, which was particularly serious, and she couldn't help frowning: "You have to disinfect it first and then stitch it up." With that, he took out a brown vial from the counter, tore off the clothes on his right shoulder, and poured the liquid from the bottle directly onto the fleshy wound. Zhanhong hadn't prepared yet, the pain was really bone-chilling, the whole person couldn't stand anymore, his feet were soft and he squatted down directly, and the big beads of sweat on his forehead dripped down like beans.
"You bear with it. The girl quickly took out a cotton ball soaked in alcohol from the medicine box, squatted beside Zhanhong to wipe the blood stains on both sides of the wound, and muttered: "This is a knife wound, it is very deep, it hurts the blood." As he spoke, he threw down the cotton ball, picked up a pinch of white powder from a palm-sized wooden box in the medicine box, and sprinkled it on the wound on Zhanhong's right shoulder. This time it was good, and he kicked his legs painfully, and the whole person sat on the ground. His left shoulder slammed against the counter of the medical hall, clenching his steel teeth so that he would not scream. The girl pressed Zhanhong's shoulder and whispered comfortingly, "Brother, hold on." โ
Pedestrians on the street outside the medical hall were in a hurry, and many people passing by the medical hall had to take a curious look at the medical hall.
The girl held a pointed tweezer in one hand and a thin thread in the other, the end of which was tied with a fishhook-like stitch, which pierced into the skin and drove the thin thread, sewing the cracked flesh together. Blood flowed from the wound, and then looked at Zhanhong's face, and the pupils were dilated and he almost wanted to faint. The girl was like a veteran on the battlefield, she had no scruples about this flesh and blood, her eyes were firmly fixed on Zhanhong's wound, focusing on stitching. Zhanhong's left body couldn't help but tremble, his feet twitched from time to time, and he couldn't push the girl in front of him away, but he had to grit his teeth and endure it so that it wouldn't be like that.
Zhan Hong inhaled and exhaled in large gulps, and the world in his eyes flickered and darkened.
"Alright. The girl bandaged the wound on Zhanhong's right shoulder, treated the other injuries briefly, and fed Zhanhong two pills before she breathed a long sigh of relief.
Seeing that Zhanhong's face had improved, he reached out and took out ten gold coins from his arms and put them on the countertop.
Seeing Zhanhong in front of her, the girl stood up and hurriedly said, "It's better for you to rest here, my father should be back soon." The girl looked at Zhanhong with a sincere face and a pair of watery eyes.
Zhanhong shook his head slightly, only said "thank you" and pushed the door and walked out of the medical hall.

With a bang, the door of the hospital at the entrance of the street was slammed open again, and this time it was a group of men in Xinzhu wrapping skirts who rushed in. The leading man with sideburns and beard shouted, "Where is the person just now?"
The girl didn't know why, and looked at the group of people in front of her inexplicably.
"My lord, my lord!" A fat woman flashed from behind the bearded man, her body was almost the same thickness, the woman's face was fat and shiny, she raised her right hand and pointed at the girl and shouted, "That's her, that's her! I just passed by and saw her healing a foreign man!" After speaking, his face squeezed out a flattering attitude: "I can be regarded as a meritorious report, right?"
The sideburns and beard reached out to push away the fat woman in front of him, and rushed to the girl in two steps and asked loudly, "Where was the person just now?"
The girl realized that something was wrong and was frightened, took a step back and said in a trembling voice: "Go, go." โ
"Where have you been?" the sideburns stretched out his big fan-like hands to grab the girl's shoulders, which were obviously forceful, and the girl groaned in pain. The bearded man's hands touched the girl's body, and the weak and boneless feeling made his heart tighten, and his breathing was a little shorter.
The girl bit her lower lip and said weakly: "He put down the money and left, and he used it, he didn't need so much." As he spoke, he looked at the gold coins on the counter.
"But in what direction did you see him running?" asked the sideburns and bearded eyes standing viciously.
"It seems to be the front street to the left. The girl was caught by this beard, and she couldn't help but twist her body, which made the sideburns even more interested.
Although the sideburns and beard let go of his right hand, his left hand still grabbed the girl, only to see him turn to the group of people behind him and say, "Why are you still stunned? Go and chase it!" After saying this, a group of people behind him promised to rush out of the medical hall in one go, only the fat woman stood stunned and asked, "My lord, what about me?" The sideburns snorted lightly and said, "Don't go there, just guard the door for me!" With that, he lifted his left hand upward, and the girl was lifted off the ground like a fledgling, and before she could struggle, she was taken to the back room.
Seeing this, the fat woman whispered to the ground, "Dog man!" Before she finished speaking, the sound of a girl crying and screaming came from the back room. Look at this fat woman again, pouting and squinting, the soul of the whole person has long been sucked by the gold coins on the counter, no matter what the beasts in the back room devour sheep.
In the middle of the night, the door of the medical hall was pushed open again, and the person who opened the door moved very gently, and with the wind and rain outside the door, a thin man walked in with a medicine box in his right hand.
Said that the thin man looked up and saw the fat woman, but he was stunned for a moment and then smiled and said, "Mrs. Linnadeka, I'm really sorry, I just went to the doctor." After saying that, he put down the medicine box and asked, "Madam, are you not feeling well there?"
"I ...... I ......" Linadka smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.
The thin man still smiled and said, "It's all neighbors, you say." As soon as he had said this, the door of the back room was kicked open, and the bearded sideburns walked out of the back room contentedly while tying the belt around his trousers. Behind the sideburns and beard, under the oil light of the back room, the girl lay on the side of the bed in disheveled clothes like a lamb that had been pulled out of her liver and intestines, and there was a pool of blood under her feet.
"Oops!" even the most wooden man could see what was happening in front of him, and the thin man rushed to the back room like crazy. The bearded sideburns who had just come out of the door reacted quickly, and his right hand pulled out a short knife from his waist, and his left hand pressed against the handle of the knife and pushed forward, which made the thin man feel cold. When he looked up, the thin man was silent, and his body softened. Sideburns gritted his teeth, pulled out a short knife and raised his foot to kick the thin man down, and after scolding viciously, he went to look at the fat woman who was stupid on the spot, Lin Nadeka, and said: "The gold coin on the table, go to Ye and get one!" After that, he pointed to the corpse on the ground and asked, "Do you know what to say about today's matter?"
The fat woman looked at the body of the thin man in a daze, then stilted her feet at the girl in the back room, and after a moment of thought, she replied, "This wicked man from a foreign tribe has lost his conscience! He killed our good physician, Manu Jiamu, and defiled her daughter Katya! Damn! Damn! Damn!" The fat woman happily touched a gold coin from the counter, and nodded to the sideburns with a smirk.
Sideburns and beard were very satisfied when he heard this, and pointed at the fat Lin Nadeka with the short knife in his right hand and said, "Yes, that's it!" After that, the tip of the short knife pointed at the doctor Manu Jiamu on the ground and said, "If you dare to talk nonsense......
Lin Nadeka nodded like a chicken pecking rice and said: "If I talk nonsense, he will be my end! Don't worry, don't worry, my lord, I'm not stupid!"

The torrential rain has no intention of stopping, and the pedestrians on the roads are not decreasing, and the dirty streets are busy.
Although Zhanhong is not trotting, every step is huge, one step at a time to follow, and his body shuttles flexibly among passers-by. The rain soaked his body again, and a chill rushed out from the inside out, this Xinzhu in the south of the country, never thought that it was so cold in the rainstorm.
Let's say that this Zhanhong walked fast, but after all, he was wounded, and a group of people wearing Xinzhu wrapping skirts behind him were holding short knives and almost chased after the front and back feet.
"Stop!"
"That's him!"
"Catch him!"
Zhanhong turned his head and saw the real thing at a glance, turned his head and ran into a shop on the street, ignoring the obstruction of the shopkeeper's buddy, kicked open the back door of the store and got in. This Zhanhong entered the back door and saw that it was really cold, he thought that this back door should lead to the back alley, who knew that this door was just a stairwell, and the wooden stairs led straight up. At this time, he could not turn back and run out, so he had to go upstairs.
Candles were lit on the menorah on the wall, and as the wind carried by Zhanhong swayed the candle flame, Zhanhong's figure also distorted.
