Xiaosuisui didn’t respond to Xie Pan’Er’s words, but instead took the young girl’s pulse in a practiced manner. She then examined her pupils before finally turning to ask Zhao Fei.
"How long has she had this injury?"
Tears stread down Zhao Fei’s face. "She was injured just this morning."
Upon hearing this, Xiaosuisui didn’t speak. Her small mouth was set in a firm line. Looking at the big sister lying on the ground, her eyes revealed a look of shared suffering.
"Suisui! She can still be saved, right? I have dicine here. As long as she can live, I’ll give it to them. It doesn’t matter if they use it or not."
Please, Little Ancestor, just say she can live! Xie Pan’Er pleaded inwardly. I hate seeing people suffer through life-and-death separations more than anything.
However, despite her hopeful gaze, she could only watch helplessly as Xiaosuisui slowly shook her head.
"It’s no use. Pretty Sister, your dicine is just ordinary herbs for treating common colds. But this Big Sister’s internal organs are all shattered. If you give her your dicine, it might even cause harm."
"Wha... what?" Xie Pan’Er cried out in shock. "Her internal organs are all shattered? How did she get injured like this?"
The blind woman also sobbed, her hands trembling as she fumbled to grab Zhao Fei’s arm. "Fei’Er," she asked, "why is your sister so gravely injured? Where on earth did you take her?"
Overwheld with regret, Zhao Fei knelt beside his sister, tears streaming down his face.
"I took my sister to Wuliuxiang. This morning, we were begging in Wuliuxiang when a group on horseback charged towards us. My sister couldn’t get away in ti. She was first kicked by a horse, then whipped by the young lady on horseback. That’s how she ended up like this."
As soon as Zhao Fei finished speaking, Xie Pan’Er felt a chill run down her spine. She frantically lifted the young girl’s top, revealing a large, distinct horseshoe print.
It was actually her?
Xie Pan’Er’s heart filled with panic and extre sorrow. Does the Celestial Dao truly ensure karmic retribution?
This young girl was the little beggar Xie Yingying had whipped this morning! I was at the back of the convoy then and only knew that Xie Yingying up ahead had whipped a beggar blocking the path. I had no idea her horse had actually kicked the person so hard.
How could Xie Yingying be so utterly depraved? She clearly injured the girl with the horse, yet not only did she not seek dical help, she even whipped her! That was a living, breathing human being!
Realizing this was Xie Yingying’s doing, Xie Pan’Er felt as if she couldn’t breathe.
When she regained her composure, she blinked and saw Xiaosuisui take a small bottle from her little pouch, pour out a round dicine Pill, and feed it into the young girl’s mouth.
Then, Xiaosuisui picked up a nearby cracked bowl and used the water inside to help the young girl swallow it!
"You... what did you give her to eat?" Xie Pan’Er, snapping back to her senses, asked anxiously.
"I don’t know what it’s called either."
"You don’t know? You gave it to her without knowing what it is? What if it causes so problem?"
At Xie Pan’Er’s words, both Zhao Fei and his blind mother beca extrely anxious and hurriedly pressed for answers.
"What should we do now? Is my daughter going to die?"
Xiaosuisui shook her head. "Big Sister won’t die!"
Hearing this, Xie Pan’Er felt a wave of relief wash over her and murmured to herself.
"As long as she won’t die, that’s good, that’s good!"
"Big Sister won’t die now, but her injuries will require her to take dicine for a very long ti. Pretty Sister, your dicine isn’t suitable for her. You’ll need to get new dicine for her, and also apply a dicated ointnt externally."
As Xiaosuisui spoke, she took out a small jar of dicated ointnt from her pouch and gently applied it to the Big Sister’s wounds.
This was the dicated ointnt she had used when she herself was injured, and she had kept it with her ever since.
Get new dicine?
Hearing this, Zhao Fei could only weep, unable to utter a single word. For a beggar like him, let alone getting new dicine, even stepping through the Main Gate of a Pharmacy was an insurmountable challenge.
