She is not such a kind person, she would take a dying person home with her.

Even most of the time, she avoided trouble because she knew that she was just an ordinary person, neither a reformer nor a transcendent, so it was best not to get into any trouble.

but.
Without thinking any more, the woman gently avoided Xu Zhi's wound, frowned and returned to the room to find a bottle of ointment in the locked drawer. This was the "life-saving medicine" for scavengers, a more versatile medicine. Trauma plaster, black doctors in Pingyuan area will prescribe this. The price is not too expensive, and it is mainly practical. Of course, this "not too expensive" is for ordinary people.

To them scavengers, even this kind of plaster is considered "valuable".

She didn't usually use much because she lived very cautiously and rarely got hurt, but almost half a bottle of plaster was used on Xu Zhi at this time.

After applying the medicine and putting on her own clothes, the woman put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt. The woman finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Xu Zhi's pale lips and the abnormal flush on her face, she raised her hand and touched Xu Zhi's. My forehead was, indeed, hot.

This is not good news. The wounds on her body are simply horrifying. It is unimaginable that the girl who was so seriously injured is still alive, but she still has a high fever at this moment.

This high fever seems to be threatening my life.

But there was no antipyretic medicine at home.

After thinking about it, the woman could only silently soak the towel in a basin of cold water, wring it out and put it on Xu Zhi's forehead. The cool breath seemed to make the girl who was suffering from high fever feel better, and her frowning brows relaxed slightly. A little bit.

Then she took half a glass of water and fed it little by little to the unconscious girl. Fortunately, even in the coma, her basic swallowing function was still there, and she seemed to be very thirsty, so she took the initiative to swallow the water as soon as she came into contact with it.

The desire to live was still there, which made the woman relax a little.

Xu Zhi cooled the towel again and put it back on her forehead. After making sure that she didn't need anyone around her for the time being, the woman left the bed and walked to the locked cabinet.

There weren't many things inside. The ointment had been used up and there was no need to put it in anymore. Other than that, there were some "junk" she picked up that could be exchanged for money.

The woman took out an iron pick hidden in the corner and pried open the mezzanine of the cabinet. There was a blue cloth bag inside. She took it out and opened it. It was the money she had saved for a long time.

She looked back at Xu Zhi who was lying on the bed, gritted her teeth, and took out the cloth bag.

I don’t know if the money is enough.
"Knock down."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

The woman paused, quickly restored the drawer, put the cloth bag into the closet, looked at Xu Zhi, and then went to speak.

She knew who would knock on the door at this hour, but she didn't open the door rashly. Instead, she asked: "Who?"

"Sister Yan Xin, it's me, Xiaoran."

A young female voice sounded, and the woman opened the door. Standing outside the door was the neighbor's daughter, Ye Ran.

"Sister Yan Xin, I saw the lights in your house were on. Why did you come back so early today? Did something happen to you?"

There were doubts and worries in the girl's eyes. The woman in front of her saved her life last year, so her family always took good care of her. Tonight I found out that she went to the garbage dump, but came back soon. I was worried that she had encountered What's the matter? Come and ask.

The woman hesitated and nodded: "Yes, I found my sister and just brought her back."

This was actually a lie. She didn't know the girl she brought back, but if she could survive, she needed a reasonable identity.

"Eh?!" The girl was a little surprised, then showed a look of joy: "That's great! Sister Yan Xin, you have been looking for your sister for so long, and finally found her!"

In fact, there are also doubts about how it could be such a coincidence, but the doubts are not as much as the surprises. Besides, it is too embarrassing to ask these questions now.

"But she suffered some injuries. I haven't been able to go to work in the past two days. I may need to take leave to take her to see a doctor."

In addition to scavenging in garbage dumps at night, they also do some illegal work in industrial areas during the day to earn stable living expenses.

"Okay, I'll ask my dad to help me ask for leave."

The girl's father had a small position in a black factory, which was convenient for him. Therefore, the scavengers around him were quite polite to his family and Qi Yan, who was protected by his family.

"Sister Yan Xin, do you have enough money? Seeing a doctor is expensive."

In the plains slums, the most expensive thing is seeing a doctor.

"I saved some."

"Okay, if that's not enough, remember to tell us. Sister Yan Xin's sister is also my sister!" The girl patted her chest.

The woman smiled when she heard this: "She is older than you, maybe you should call her sister."

"Eh?" The girl's tone was a little disappointed, but she cheered up again: "Okay, then Sister Yan Xin's sister is also my sister!"

"It's getting late. You should go home first. I have nothing to do here." Qi Yanxin smiled at her, and the girl left in a very measured manner.

The girl's back quickly disappeared in the drizzle. There were very few lights in the slum, and there were almost no public facilities. The light at night came from the industrial area next to it. It was very weak, and represented a dangerous red light mixed with indifference. From time to time, blue light penetrates through the cracks in the slums, like light from the human world entering the sewers.

Qi Yanxin's expression also looked a little depressed in the flickering cold light. The conversation with the girl reminded her of her sister.

It's not that she didn't find it, it's just that when she found it, her sister was already dead.

It was exactly like the scene when I saw Xu Zhi today. My sister died on a garbage dump. But the difference was that Xu Zhi was still breathing. My sister had not even breathed at that time.

She didn't even have time to take her sister out of the garbage mountain. The huge garbage cleaning machine had already swallowed up the garbage mountain. She was thrown out because she was a living person, while her sister's bones were completely melted away.

Since then, she has been pursuing this matter, but she has no clue. She has no power or ability. It is almost foreseeable that it will be difficult to find out the "truth" for the rest of her life. Many times, Qi Yan feels in her heart She almost couldn't hold on any longer. She was even a little confused about what she was doing. What was the point of continuing like this?
The moment she saw Xu Zhi on the garbage mountain tonight, she seemed to have returned to that night again. It was also raining lightly, and her sister fell on the garbage mountain with a pale face.

The difference is, this girl is still breathing.

As if guided by fate, she did not hesitate for too long and saved Xu Zhi.

She brought Xu Zhi back out of momentary compassion, but now that she had made her decision, she would not go back on it.

She will find a way to save her.

After closing the door and returning to the room, the woman poured half a glass of warm water before walking into the room. When she looked at the head of the bed, she saw that her hairstyle was so serious and she had a high fever. Logically speaking, she would at least be in a coma. The girl who had been there for a few days was struggling to open her eyes and looked in her direction with a blank look on her face.
