The mother and daughter were beaten by the man for a long time, and finally they became motionless.

The man was panting nearby, and when he saw that the mother and daughter lying on the ground had lost their voice, he tentatively kicked them.

"He died so quickly? Tsk, he's really weak."

Despite saying this, the man still reached out and felt their pulse.

As soon as he started, he felt that the two people's body temperatures were extremely cold and their pulses were no longer beating.

The man snorted again, then went back to the room, put on thicker clothes, dragged them to a remote place and left them there casually.

Then he walked towards his house.

But what he didn't notice was that the little girl in her mother's arms behind her seemed to tremble.

A tear fell from the corner of her eye, and she seemed to be murmuring "Mom" softly.

Xiao Xirou was not dead. Her body was extremely cold due to the cold wind. She was dying at this moment and her pulse was very weak.

So much so that if the man didn't feel carefully, he wouldn't be able to tell that Xiao Xirou's pulse was still beating.

But even if they felt it, men would not care. This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. Death of a person is nothing unusual, especially in a remote village, so there is no need to worry about being caught.

And even if Xiao Xirou was still alive, the man thought she would not pose a threat to him.

Moreover.

She was already weak and injured, so it was impossible for her to survive being exposed to the cold wind for several hours.

...

...

After an unknown amount of time, a figure suddenly appeared here, seemingly looking for something.

When the figure saw the mother and daughter lying on the ground, he suddenly paused, then quickly walked towards this side.

"Sister Ye? Xiao Rou'er?"

The figure came in front of them, and after seeing who they were, he quickly checked their vital signs.

The figure was none other than the sister from the pharmacy whom Xiao Xirou had just said goodbye to not long ago.

After Xiao Xirou left, she was always feeling uneasy. Finally, she was so panicked that she simply went to the door of Xiao Xirou's house to take a look for peace of mind.

As a result, she looked through the window and saw that the mother and daughter of the Ye family were not at home. It was so late now, what else could they do besides sleeping?

The bad feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger, so she began to look for them.

The result was this scene.

After the examination, Xiao Xirou's sister was confirmed dead, but Xiao Xirou was still alive.

This undoubtedly made her feel distressed and surprised. When she saw the two people lying motionless on the ground in the wilderness, she no longer had any hope in her heart.

At this time, Xiao Xirou was still alive, how could she not be surprised?

She was already a doctor in the village, and she had developed feelings for Xiao Xirou, so she only wanted to save her.

After finding some tools nearby, the sister from the pharmacy took the mother and daughter back home.

He first settled Xiao Xirou down and treated her wounds briefly, then gave her his bed and wrapped her in a quilt.

After doing all this, the sister from the medicine shop brought her mother's body back to their original residence, dug a hole with a shovel, and buried the body.

Then he returned to his pharmacy and continued to take care of Xiao Xirou.

...

...

When Xiao Xirou woke up, it was already noon the next day. She was awakened by a series of "ding-ling-bang" sounds.

The dazzling sunlight shone through the window onto her face. Her brows were furrowed, as if she had had a terrible nightmare. Suddenly she sat up abruptly, woke up instantly, and gasped for breath.

When Yueyao saw Xiao Xirou woke up, she quickly put down the medicinal herbs she was grinding, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and came to the bed.

"Xiao Rou'er, how do you feel now? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Xiao Xirou obviously hadn't recovered from her shock yet. After a few seconds of silence, she seemed to remember the dream she had just had. She didn't answer Yueyao's question, but hurriedly asked, "Mom, mom, sister Yueyao, how is my mom?"

As she spoke, she quickly looked around, but in this not-so-big room, apart from herself sitting on the bed and Sister Yueyao standing beside the bed, there was no one she wanted to see.

When Yueyao saw Xiao Xirou's actions, her body paused involuntarily and she pursed her lips.

Finally, under Xiao Xirou's anxious questioning again and again, she took a deep breath and tried her best to make her tone sound gentle and normal.

She raised her hand and gently stroked her head, comforting her: "It's okay, your mother is just sick, and she needs medicine from the city to be cured. I happen to know a doctor in the city, so I'll send your mother there first."

After hearing this, Xiao Xirou immediately asked, "Mom is sick? Is the disease serious? Even my sister can't cure it."

Although Yueyao is the only person in the village who can treat illnesses, in Xiao Xirou's impression, Sister Yueyao can easily cure any illness.

Even Sister Yueyao can’t cure it, so it must be a very serious disease.

Yueyao shook her head gently: "No, it's just that some medicinal herbs are only available in the city. It's not a very serious illness."

"really?"

"Yes, really, sister won't lie to you."

After hearing this, Xiao Xirou felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

"When will mom's illness be cured?"

Even though she hadn't seen anyone, she still couldn't completely relax, especially since her heart was still beating so fast and she felt inexplicably uneasy.

Yueyao fell silent, and the room fell into silence for a while. Just before Xiaoxirou was about to get suspicious, Yueyao said, "Xiaorouer, finish the medicine first. I'll tell you after you finish it."

As she spoke, she picked up the medicine bowl on the bedside table. The herbs inside had been completely ground into powder using a medicine grinding stick.

After adding the appropriate amount of water, he handed it to Xiao Xirou.

Xiao Xirou, whose mind was not yet fully mature, did not think much about it. Upon hearing that she could get news about her mother, she immediately took the medicine bowl and drank all the medicine in it.

Yueyao saw Xiao Xirou, who usually drank the Chinese medicine with difficulty, but now finished the bitter medicine in the bowl so quickly.

I just felt my eyes a little sore and said sorry silently in my heart.

Xiao Xirou put the bowl aside, sat upright, stared at Yueyao with an obedient face, her eyes full of anticipation.

Yueyao sighed: "Xiaorou'er, take a rest first. I will hire a driver to take you to the city later. I know the driver. He is a good man. Xiaorou'er, don't be afraid of him."

At this point, she paused for a moment, then added: "The driver will only take you to the city and arrange a temporary place for you to stay. You have to find your mother by yourself. If you can't find her...

Then...then try to become a soul master! Then your mother will definitely appear in front of you."

"Really?"

"Well, really."

"Well, Sister Yueyao, let's make a pinky promise. Liars are dogs!"

"……okay."

"Pin, hang yourself, for a hundred years, no change..."
