Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

"Does it hurt?" Dong Jiafu asked again, looking into the boy's eyes.

The boy's eyes were washed by tears, so clear that no emotion could be hidden. "It hurts—"

"Sister is the new female doctor. Can I take you to apply the medicine? The pain will go away after the medicine." Dong Jiafu stood up and stretched out her hand to him.

The boy hesitated for a moment, then put his hand in hers.

Dong Jiafu held his little hand tightly and pulled him up with a little force.

The boy looked down and saw the snail crawling away again. He threw away the branch in his hand and said goodbye to it.

"Go home to your mother. I don't need you to play with me anymore. I'll come to see you tomorrow."

So you are just playing with others, but the snail probably doesn't think so.

Dong Jiafu couldn't help laughing and said in agreement, "Little snail, remember to come here and wait tomorrow..."

She paused here, smiled and asked the boy, "I don't know your name yet."

"My name is Daniu." said the boy, looking up.

"Little snail, remember to come here tomorrow and wait for Big Bull."

No matter what they say, the snail crawls at its own pace.

"Okay, let's go apply the medicine." Dong Jiafu took Daniu's hand and walked towards the center of the camp.

On the way, Dong Jiafu asked him, "Which tent do you live in?"

Da Niu pointed, and when Dong Jiafu walked towards the tent, he suddenly stopped.

Dong Jiafu looked back in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"I don't want to go back." Daniu pulled her hand, looking very resistant.

"Okay, then we won't go back."

Dong Jiafu followed him and led him to sit down at the dining table.

"Wait here for a while. I'll go get the medicine. Don't sneak away, okay?"

Children's minds become quick, and Dong Jiafu was afraid that he would not be able to wait and leave while she was getting the medicine.

Daniu nodded, "I won't leave."

"Then let's make a pinky promise." Dong Jiafu bent down and gave him her little finger.

Daniu chuckled and hooked his little finger around hers as well.

"Hang yourself on a hook and you won't be able to change it for a hundred years."

This was a heavy promise for the child, so Dong Jiafu left with peace of mind.

She went to the tent where the medicines were stored and saw Tan Hao preparing the medicines there, so she went up to him and asked, "Brother, do you have any ointment for scratches and clean cotton cloth?"

"Ms. Dong, where have you been? We turned around and you were gone. Are you injured?" Tan Hao asked nervously.

"It's not me. I just met a little boy outside. He had injuries on his legs and hands. I wanted to bandage him."

Tan Hao breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, yes, I'll find it for you right away."

Soon Tan Hao brought her medicine and cotton cloth and asked, "Is the child seriously injured? Do you want me to go with you?"

"It's okay, it's just a common scratch, go ahead, brother, I can handle it."

Dong Jiafu took the things and came out to find water.

There was a well in the camp. Dong Jiafu went to the well, fetched water, and carried the water in a wooden basin to find Daniu.

The wooden basin, which was half filled with water, was very heavy. Dong Jiafu gritted her teeth and walked so fast that she almost wanted to fly.

Cui Qiyan arranged the guards he brought with him to stand guard. He turned around and saw Dong Jiafu walking unsteadily with a large wooden basin in her hand, but at a very fast speed.

The road in the camp was uneven, and if she tripped over a rock or a pothole, she would be in great trouble.

Cui Qi Yan was frightened and ran after her, taking the wooden basin from her hands.

Her hand suddenly loosened, and Dong Jiafu looked in surprise at the person who had appeared beside her without her noticing.

Cui Qiyan held the wooden basin steadily and asked, "Where are you going to send the water?"

"That table over there..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Qi Yan raised his leg and walked in that direction. Dong Jiafu came to her senses and followed him.

Da Niu was waiting there obediently. When he saw Cui Qi Yan coming back with Dong Jiafu, he immediately stood up nervously.

Dong Jiafu walked up to him and said, "Come here, Daniu, let's apply the medicine."

Da Niu stared at Cui Qi Yan as he placed the wooden basin on the table and sat down obediently.

Dong Jiafu picked up a piece of cotton cloth and suddenly realized that she had forgotten to bring scissors. She said to Daniu apologetically, "Sister forgot something. Can you wait for me for a while? I will be back soon."

Da Niu pinched the corner of his clothes with his hands, looking timid.

"I'll get you whatever you want." Cui Qi Yan said.

Dong Jiafu looked at him, then turned her head to look at the uneasy Daniu, "Scissors, I need scissors."

"Cut it?" Cui Qi Yan pointed at the cotton cloth she had just put down.

"Yes……"

"Thorn-"

"Okay." Cui Qi Yan handed over the cotton cloth that was split in two.

The tough cotton tore as easily as a piece of paper in his hands.

Dong Jiafu and Daniu both looked stunned.

Since his hands were so useful, Dong Jiafu was not polite, "I want to divide it into four parts."

Cui Qi Yan didn't say anything and with two more "swish-swish" sounds, the cotton cloth was perfectly divided into four pieces of equal size.

"Thank you." Dong Jiafu soaked the cotton cloth in water with a smile in her eyes, and gently rolled up Daniu's trouser legs. "I'll help you clean the wound first. If it hurts, tell me, don't bear it."

Daniel nodded.

The blood and dirt on his knees had coagulated together. Dong Jiafu used two pieces of cotton cloth to apply wet compresses to him and took the opportunity to apply medicine to his hands first.

After wiping her hands clean, Dong Jiafu took the ointment and gently applied it on his palms. She looked up and asked him, "Does it hurt?"

Daniu shook his head, "It doesn't hurt, it's just cool."

Dong Jiafu smiled and said, "Daniu is such a brave boy. Now we are going to start applying medicine to your legs."

The cotton cloth was removed, and the blood scab on Daniu's knee softened. Dong Jiafu patiently cleaned it bit by bit, fearing to hurt him. It took her a long time to clean the wound.

After applying the medicine on the legs, Dong Jiafu gave the last piece of cotton cloth to Cui Qi Yan who had been standing next to her.

"Long strip, thank you."

Cui Qi Yan raised his eyebrows. This person was ordering him around more and more easily, but he was very happy to be ordered around by her.

He tore the whole piece of cotton cloth into long strips in a few seconds, which were just the right width to bandage the wound on Daniu's body.

After Dong Jiafu bandaged Daniu, she made an agreement with him: "Remember to come here again at this time tomorrow, and I will change the bandage for you."

Daniu looked at his bandaged hands and said, "Do you still want to come? They said that injuries and illnesses don't need to be treated..."

"Who are they?" Dong Jiafu wanted to know who was misleading the children.

"It's the people who live here. They all say that if they are locked up here, they will die sooner or later. It's useless even if they are cured."

Dong Jiafu's face changed when she heard this. Could this be the reason why all those people were so lifeless? They felt that they were locked up here and would be infected with the plague sooner or later, leaving them with only one way to die. So when they saw her and her senior brother and others coming, they were not happy.

They believed that there was no cure for the plague and waited to die indifferently.

When Dong Jiafu thought of this, she felt infinitely sad.
