Chapter 917: She Wants to Help!
Xiao Xue made a pinky promise with Lianwu and instantly felt much more at ease.
Remembering what Mother had said, that Brother Lianwu was injured and she should be careful not to disturb him, Xiao Xue quickly asked, "Brother Lianwu, is it very painful for you now? I see you are bleeding a lot, and I’m really scared..."
Lianwu shook his head at her with effort, "I’m fine, it hurt a little at first, but it doesn’t hurt anymore."
Actually, just looking at her, he felt like any pain he had wasn’t so bad anymore.
Xiao Xue stared at Lianwu for a moment, then suddenly climbed off the bed, put on her shoes by herself, and leaned over the bed to say to Lianwu, "Brother Lianwu, you have a good rest. I’ll come to see you later."
After saying that, without waiting for Lianwu to respond, she ran off with a patter.
She didn’t go to find Han Jing, instead, she went into the yard, found a stone, sat down, and started thinking about some matters, with her head in her hands.
It was already close to the Wu hour. Usually, by now, Xiao Xue would already be calling out for food. But today, with so many concerns on her mind, she had completely forgotten about being hungry.
Xiao Xue held her head and thought for a while, then suddenly a voice burst out into a sneer out of nowhere.
She turned her head, frowning, looking at Little Black who was mocking her.
Puzzled, she asked, "Little Black, why are you laughing?"
At hearing her call by that name, Little Black felt a little annoyed, humph, not wanting to pay attention to her.
Turning away, as though it hadn’t heard.
Seeing Little Black ignoring her, Xiao Xue didn’t press further.
She was thinking about something very important.
She knew that her blood was a very good healing elixir for Brother Lianwu. Even though when she and Brother Lianwu made a Blood Covenant, she promised him three drops of blood a day, she initially remembered to follow through every day, but later, she would only sometimes remember and sometimes forget. Nevertheless, Brother Lianwu never asked her for it. It seemed like whether she gave him blood or not, he didn’t care anymore.
Xiao Xue suddenly realized that this was very wrong of her.
She had made a promise to Brother Lianwu but hadn’t kept it, yet she still expected Brother Lianwu never to lie to her. Wasn’t she being a little unfair?
She couldn’t be like this; she should be helping Brother Lianwu.
Brother Lianwu was injured, and she should figure out a way to help him heal.
Xiao Xue firmed her resolve, then clenched her little fists, standing up with great spirit, and asked Little Black, "Little Black, do you know where Uncle Shiqi lives?"
Seeing Xiao Xue’s resolute expression, Little Black found it a bit strange, then turned its head to look at a room as if giving her directions.
Xiao Xue hastily said thanks to Little Black and ran towards that room.
Ning Shiqi was in the middle of researching ways to heal Youyou. Since there usually wasn’t anyone around, he didn’t have the habit of locking his door during the day. The door was ajar, and a push would open it.
Xiao Xue initially intended to knock, but who knew that as she pushed the door with her arm, she almost stumbled in, making Ning Shiqi look over at her due to the commotion.
"Uncle Shiqi," Xiao Xue called out politely.
Ning Shiqi was somewhat surprised that Xiao Xue came looking for him, but he still patiently smiled at her, "Are you... Xiao Xue? What brings you here? Are you hungry? I’ve already asked Uncle Ying to prepare lunch."
