Chapter 127: Chapter 121: I Still Have to Help Mom with Her Illness
Xiao Lin was truly fed up with Xun Xiangxiang’s deception. After scrutinizing Xun Xiangxiang, who gazed at Xiao Lin with her big, innocent eyes, Xiao Lin believed only seventy percent of her sincerity and said unkindly, "I’ll trust you for now!"
Xun Xiangxiang pouted but, fortunately, Xiao Lin’s intimidating look and tone had disappeared by then. She didn’t argue further and quietly sat in the seat, gazing out of the window.
At this moment, at the street entrance of a small neighborhood opposite, a seven or eight-year-old girl was holding a large plastic bag filled with many bottles and jars. She saw a mineral water bottle deftly fall onto the street not far away, and her eyes lit up as if she found new hope. She looked around to ensure no vehicles were passing, then hurried forward. Just as she was about to reach her target, a silver-white sports car suddenly emerged from the side street and swiftly crushed the mineral water bottle.
"Ah!" Xun Xiangxiang happened to see this scene. Her eyes widened in disbelief, filled with shock, unable to accept that it was real.
The sports car seemed to feel something brush against it, gently braked, but then accelerated again, speeding away without glancing at the little girl who had fallen to the ground.
After the sports car passed, the little girl lay alone in a pool of blood, with the plastic bag she was holding dropped beside her, and the bottles and jars scattered across the street.
At that moment, a motorcycle suddenly sped out from another street entrance and unexpectedly ran over the scattered bottles and jars. Luckily, it braked in time and didn’t topple over. The rider glanced at the girl on the ground, hurriedly restarted the motorcycle, and quickly disappeared down the street.
Meanwhile, on the main road outside the small street, there were many people, either cycling or walking, passing by without caring for the little girl. There was even a person who looked like a university student coming from that street, who quickly detoured upon seeing the girl on the ground, not daring to spare even a glance, let alone stop to offer help or make a call.
At this time, Xiao Lin was focused on driving forward and hadn’t noticed the situation at the street entrance opposite. He had started the car and was slowly accelerating.
"Stop the car, stop quickly!" Xun Xiangxiang suddenly felt heartbroken, tears streaming down her cheeks as she looked at the little girl lying alone in the blood. Though just ten meters away was the bustling main road filled with pedestrians and vehicles, not a single person stopped, even for a second. Some even hurriedly left upon seeing the scene.
Xiao Lin was a bit annoyed. What does Xun Xiangxiang want now? He had already agreed to let her go, so why was she still trying to do something?
"If you want to get out, open the door yourself!" Xiao Lin snorted coldly, unwilling to listen to Xun Xiangxiang explain. He couldn’t be blamed; Xiao Lin hadn’t noticed the situation at the street entrance beside them, and Xun Xiangxiang had tricked him so often, who knew what new schemes she might be concocting now.
"Fine, that’s what you said!" Xun Xiangxiang spoke almost with a sob, filled with genuine emotion. After speaking, she immediately opened the car door.
"Are you crazy!" Xiao Lin yelled, urgently stopping the car. Fortunately, it had just started moving, and hadn’t joined the traffic. If they had been driving steadily, it would have been extremely dangerous for Xun Xiangxiang to open the door like that. Even so, Xiao Lin couldn’t help but be furious, wishing he could slap Xun Xiangxiang twice. This little demon who grew up in a sugar pot, didn’t she know how dangerous this was?
Quick braking caused inertia to pull Xun Xiangxiang forward, bumping into the back of Xiao Lin’s seat and slightly scratching her skin. Nevertheless, Xun Xiangxiang didn’t care about her injury and, as she got out of the car, urgently said, "Military Doctor, hurry, there’s a little girl hit by a car over by the street entrance, and it seems nobody is going over to help her!"
Xiao Lin intended to get angry, but upon hearing Xun Xiangxiang say this, he looked around and didn’t see any car accident scenes. He rolled down the window and loudly yelled at the already departing Xun Xiangxiang, "Xun Xiangxiang, what exactly are you trying to do?"
At this moment, Xun Xiangxiang turned around, tears all over her face, crying as she said, "Didn’t you see the accident over there? Summer Sister Xue was right; you’re a cold-blooded animal!" Saying this, she quickly tried to cross the intersection towards the street entrance.
Xiao Lin saw clearly, Xun Xiangxiang’s tear-filled face and affected expression seemed to deeply pierce him. He looked at the direction where Xun Xiangxiang was running and saw what could be a child lying at the street entrance, although it was a bit far. Xiao Lin discerned it was a human in a pool of blood and just happened to see someone who looked like a student glance over from four or five meters away, then quickly pass by as if seeing nothing.
For some reason, Xiao Lin’s heart suddenly clenched with pain, as if he could feel Xun Xiangxiang’s sadness. He quickly grabbed the medical kit, got out of the car, closed the door, and hurriedly took a few steps to catch up with Xun Xiangxiang. At that moment, a minibus sped by, and Xiao Lin, with sharp eyes, pulled Xun Xiangxiang back.
Xiao Lin didn’t say much. The minibus didn’t break any traffic rules, but Xun Xiangxiang’s reckless street crossing was very dangerous. However, Xiao Lin didn’t scold Xun Xiangxiang. He simply took her across the street quickly, then ran another twenty meters to the intersection.
At this point, two young men emerged from the street corner, only about ten meters away from Xiao Lin and Xun Xiangxiang, and merely three or four meters away from the little girl lying in a pool of blood. They seemed to not have noticed the little girl at all and quickly slipped to the other side of the street.
Xun Xiangxiang, furious, ran up to the two people who looked like college students and shouted, "Didn’t you see there’s a little girl who got hit over there? How can you just walk by without helping? Aren’t you ashamed of yourselves?"
The two college students looked at Xun Xiangxiang strangely, said nothing, and quickly ran away. Xun Xiangxiang shouted angrily, "Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?"
Xun Xiangxiang’s voice was loud enough for passersby within thirty meters to hear. Some people stopped to listen to her shouting and turned to look at the scene, but none stepped forward — they just shot odd glances at Xun Xiangxiang.
At this time, unlike Xun Xiangxiang, Xiao Lin did not question the indifferent bystanders. Instead, he calmly rushed to the side of the little girl. On the ground, broken bottles and jars were scattered everywhere. The little girl’s clothes were plain and patched, almost to the point of being tattered, but the parts not stained with blood were clean, suggesting she was a diligent child.
The little girl’s head was injured, with multiple abrasions all over her body, covered in blood — her injuries appeared quite frightening. Xiao Lin quickly approached, discovering the little girl had opened her large, bright eyes, and her first words were, "Big brother, can you help me pick up those bottles and jars? I need to sell them to pay for my mom’s treatment!"
Despite having defeated many enemies on the battlefield and being incredibly strong, Xiao Lin was moved to tears by the little girl’s words. Even when Hu Zi lost his life to save him, Xiao Lin hadn’t cried, but this delicate little girl’s first words made his eyes wet. He choked up unusually, "Little girl, don’t worry. Big brother will help you pick up those bottles and jars. Right now, don’t move, let big brother check you over!"
The little girl’s situation was terrifying, yet her injuries weren’t as severe as they seemed — a broken calf, a cracked skull, and multiple scrapes. However, she had lost a significant amount of blood. Her face was pale, and her lips had turned purple.
"Big brother, Niu Niu’s eyes are so tired. Niu Niu wants to sleep!" Niu Niu appeared extremely exhausted. Although none of her injuries were life-threatening, three or four minutes had passed since Xun Xiangxiang screamed. A large pool of blood had flowed from her head, and with the many scrapes on her body, she was losing a lot of blood and was struggling to hold on.
Xiao Lin cleaned Niu Niu’s wounds and used the True Qi from Kowloon to stimulate her nerves. He absolutely couldn’t let her fall asleep. Judging by the current blood loss, she was nearing the critical threshold — there was no way he could let Niu Niu fall asleep.
Under the stimulation of Xiao Lin’s True Qi from Kowloon, the light in Niu Niu’s half-closed eyes brightened slightly. She weakly said, "Big brother, your big hand on my back feels so comfortable and warm!"
"Don’t talk, Niu Niu. You’ll be okay. You still have to collect bottles to help your mom. You can’t sleep!" At this moment, tears flowed from Xiao Lin’s eyes. Even though he was an outstanding Special Forces Medic with the world’s most miraculous True Qi from Kowloon, he was powerless when the human body lacked blood, and vital signs began to fade.
"Xun Xiangxiang, quickly call an ambulance. No, do you know how to drive?" Xiao Lin initially wanted Xun Xiangxiang to call 120 for emergency help. However, given Niu Niu’s condition, if she wasn’t transported to a hospital for a blood transfusion within ten minutes, not even Xiao Lin’s great abilities could save her.
"Ah, I can drive, but I don’t have a license. I’m not even eighteen yet!" Xun Xiangxiang replied.
Xiao Lin didn’t care anymore; he had to trust Xun Xiangxiang. Holding Niu Niu, he said, "Then hurry, let’s quickly get Niu Niu to the campus hospital!"
Xun Xiangxiang didn’t have time to think, immediately following Xiao Lin as they ran swiftly to the street opposite, deeply moved by the sight of Niu Niu covered in blood. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian (). Your support is my greatest motivation.)
