Chapter 841

After finishing speaking, Ji Rao turned her head and stopped looking at Li Yuxiu.

Camphor trees were planted on both sides of the road, tall and straight, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and a faint smell of blood filled the hot and dry air.

silence.

The continued silence made the surrounding atmosphere seem extraordinarily weird.

Li Yuxiu took a deep look at Ji Rao with his black eyes, then stood up, turned and left.

In the dark night, Ji Rao was the only one left. Seeing the boy walking away, she tugged at the corner of her injured mouth.

Even laughing hurts.

Li Yuxiu was a little angry, and he didn't know why he was angry.

Seeing that Ji Rao didn't resist at all and didn't cherish his appearance, he held his breath and became angry for no reason.

He really thought about leaving it alone. Everyone has their own life, and they choose their own path. There are so many pitiful people, and he is one of them, so he can't control others.

With this in mind, Li Yuxiu quickened his pace of leaving.

Dark as ink.

The small county town in the middle of the night is very quiet.

Li Yuxiu didn't know how he came to the 24-hour pharmacy.

The light sign at the door of the pharmacy was on, with four big yellow characters written, "Ruihe Pharmacy".

There was only one clerk in a white coat, sitting behind the counter, looking listless and drowsy.

Li Yuxiu walked over and bought iodophor, cotton swabs, Band-Aids and other medicines, miscellaneous, and put them in a small plastic bag.

Holding the plastic bag, he walked back angrily.

far.

The little girl was slender and very small, sitting curled up under the thick camphor tree.

A few meters away from the camphor trees, there is a dim and old street lamp that is not very bright, casting an orange light.

Under the dim light, she saw her arms folded, hugging her knees, her whole face buried in her arms, she didn't know if she was thinking about something or fell asleep.

Li Yuxiu sighed, and walked over lightly.

"Hey!"

His tone was impatient, and he called Ji Rao.

Ji Rao didn't respond.

"Hey!"

Seeing this, Li Yuxiu spoke again, and kicked Ji Rao's toes.

Ji Rao frowned, slowly raised her head, looked up at the tall and straight young man in front of her, and also looked impatient, "What are you doing?"

"Wipe it yourself." Li Yuxiu's tone was very bad. It was the first time he did this kind of thing to help people buy medicine, especially when he was a girl. Young Master Li threw the plastic bag containing the medicine into Ji Rao's arms, "Don't sit down." It’s being hypocritical here, don’t you still have grandparents, take the medicine and go back quickly, don’t let the old man worry.”

Thinking of grandparents, Ji Rao's heart that seemed to be frozen suddenly softened.

"Thank you."

She spoke softly, with a nasal tone.

Li Yuxiu frowned even deeper, "Are you crying?"

"No." Ji Rao denied, "If tears were useful, what happened today would not have happened a few years ago."

The implication is that this kind of thing has been commonplace for her a few years ago.

Li Yuxiu was not interested in other people's private affairs, so he didn't say anything, just put his hands in the pockets of his jeans, tugged and said: "Then don't talk nonsense, and go home after applying the medicine. Could it be that I bought the medicine for you, and you still have to let it go?" Shall I wipe it for you?"

"Need not."

After speaking, Ji Rao endured the pain and took the backpack off his shoulders.

It was only then that Li Yuxiu noticed that she had always treasured her backpack, even when she was being beaten, she was holding on to the strap of her schoolbag tightly, as if it was a treasure worth guarding with her life.

Really speechless.

Isn't it just a few textbooks, as for this?
Li Yuxiu couldn't understand Ji Rao's brain circuit, but thinking about her appearance during the day, she was a very problematic girl, and it shouldn't be surprising to make any strange moves.

Ji Rao took the schoolbag, unzipped it, and took out a small round object from the backpack.

After a closer look, it turned out to be a small mirror.

Li Yuxiu: ...

Ji Rao turned on the iodophor, dipped it in with a cotton swab, and smeared the wounds on his face, arms and legs by the light of the street lamp.

After painting, she carefully put away all the things and put them carefully in her schoolbag.

It can be seen from her actions that she cherishes it.

Li Yuxiu watched her every move, and his irritable mood suddenly eased a little, and he felt better.

Ji Rao was indifferent, and Li Yuxiu was colder than her. The two of them didn't say a word until Ji Rao came home.

Li Yuxiu left.

Ji Rao was standing in the yard of her grandparents' house. The yard was very small, and the house was even smaller. The main room was just a table, a bed, and the stove was built of thatch. The bare walls are the best way to describe this house.

Two idle sons hollowed out two old men.

And, still going on.

Because Ji Dachuan vented his anger on her twice in three days, his grandparents also suggested to let her live with them, but when Ji Dachuan heard about it, he exploded and objected to everything.

Ji Rao was afraid that he would make trouble with his grandparents, so he had no choice but to reject the arrangement of his grandparents, and resigned to his fate to continue living with Ji Dachuan.

Ji Dachuan is a jerk. Last year, he had a fight with his grandparents over money, and even beat his grandfather with a shovel, causing his old back injury which was already damaged by fatigue to be aggravated.

Ji Rao was at school at the time and didn't know what happened.

Grandpa also specifically told grandma not to mention it.

Later, during the Chinese New Year, Ji Rao accompanied her grandma to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and inadvertently mentioned that her grandpa's waist was not in good condition. After asking, she found out that her father had beaten her grandpa.

At that time, grandma took Ji Rao's hand and said, "He is your father after all. Your grandpa won't let me tell you. You can just listen to this matter. Just pretend you don't know and don't say anything."

Ji Rao's nose was sour and her eyes were hot, she bit her lip and nodded.

"call!"

Ji Rao withdrew her thoughts and let out a long sigh.

Back home with tired and sore body, grandpa and grandma are still cleaning up the messy house.

Ji Rao walked in, "Grandma, I'll clean up, you and Grandpa can go back and rest."

Grandma Ji, "No, we're not tired, good boy, I made you suffer."

Over the years, the old man has always blamed himself, thinking that he did not raise his son well, which caused his granddaughter to suffer so much and live so hard.

"Grandma, don't think so, I never blamed you." Ji Rao curved his lips, smiled, and said, "Don't clean up, you go back to rest early."

In fact, what she wants to say is that it is useless to clean up. Tomorrow, at the latest, the day after tomorrow will be a mess again. No matter how good the cleaning is, it will be a waste of time.

However, she didn't say this, because she was afraid that her grandparents would be even more sad and blame herself.

"I'll pack it up right away. You go to wash up and go to sleep. You have to get up early tomorrow." Grandma Ji said.

Ji Rao put down her schoolbag and helped her grandparents clean up the house.

Grandma Ji said distressedly: "I don't need you here, you go back to your room to do your homework and go to bed early."
