Qi Zhen was brewing some feelings outside the door, and she looked a little embarrassed as she ran all the way.
What's more, he was carrying a bloody Liang Sicheng on his back.
This woman was obviously a kind-hearted person. Seeing the miserable appearance of the two of them, her shouts turned into a gentle words: "Come into the house quickly."
She didn't ask why Qi Zhen carried the prisoner on her back to escape from the prison, nor why Xiong Wen never told her about it.
If we really talk about this matter, there are actually many things that are questionable. However, perhaps due to her kindness, Xiong Wen’s wife didn’t ask anything and just took the two of them to her room. among.
The kindness of people determines that they will always turn to the weaker side, no matter whether that person deserves it or is unforgivable.
Qi Zhen put Liang Sicheng on the bed, causing him to whimper in pain again.
Thinking that he had been whipped all over his body without a single intact skin, Qi Zhen started to tremble with anger.
"Sister-in-law, could you please prepare a basin of hot water for me? A clean cloth would be even better." Qi Zhen finally freed her hand and bowed to Mrs. Bear.
"Okay, I'll burn it, you wait a moment."
Xiong Wen's wife obviously didn't expect that a grown man would salute her. She placed her hands in front of her body with some uneasiness. She hurriedly responded and turned around to go out.
These two people must be good people. I don’t know what mistakes they made, but they were beaten like this by the officials.
I heard that they were killed by traitors, hey! Which master does this have to offend to cause such harm? I'm afraid our family won't be able to protect them for a few days. If it doesn't work, let them leave politely. If the government discovers it, it doesn't matter whether the job of the head of the family can be kept. Life and property are not safe.
Just looking at the man in prison uniform, he looks like he is still a boy of thirteen or fourteen. How big a mistake can he make? It's better to let them recover from their injuries before leaving. There is also a vegetable cellar at home. If that doesn't work, let them hide in it. The smell is a bit unpleasant, but for their lives, I'm afraid this is the only way.
Mrs. Xiong thought about all this, walked quickly into the kitchen, and began to boil water with a heavy heart.
"Brother and sister, what happened?" A voice suddenly came from outside the kitchen door.
Mrs. Xiong was stunned and looked up. At this time, Xiong Wu was standing outside the door with a concerned look on his face.
The two brothers are extremely polite. For example, at this time, Xiong Wu would never be alone in a room with his younger siblings. Even if he had worries and doubts in his heart, he would stay at the door honestly and not go too far.
Xiong Wen's wife did not hide anything and told everything that had just happened.
His father died young. Although the two were twin brothers, Xiong Wu, who was the eldest brother, really acted like the eldest brother. The eldest brother was the father. When he grew up, he really took on the role of the backbone of the family.
Xiong Wu frowned after listening to his sister-in-law's words.
He felt something was wrong here.
Xiong Wen has grown up with him since he was a child. He has grown up since he was three years old. In fact, this younger brother has a very cautious temperament. Even if something big happens or he has "friends" like this, he is afraid that he will be drinking this afternoon. At that time, he also told himself that he would definitely not be able to do such a bold thing on his own.
But he did not show it in front of his sister-in-law, but said softly: "The water will be boiled in a while, and I will send it over. Sister-in-law, you go to your mother's place to rest first. It is outrageous for a woman to show her face."
Xiong Wen's wife nodded after hearing this, and then said: "Brother, I think these two are really pitiful, and they don't look like bad people. You must not kick them out."
Xiong Wu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I have been out and about for so many years, and I still have the ability to recognize people. Even if they are really not good people, I have to let them get through tonight."
"That's great." Xiong Wen's wife said gratefully.
After a while, the water was boiled. Xiong Wen's wife prepared a new cloth, handed it to Xiong Wu's hand along with the hot water, and said softly: "Do you want me to make some food for them?"
"It's okay. You can go and rest. Leave the rest to me." Xiong Wu said.
Xiong Wen's wife nodded and turned back to her house.
Xiong Wu sorted out his emotions, showed a kind smile, and knocked on the door.
"Please come in." Qi Zhen said.
Xiong Wu opened the door and looked at the bloody man lying on the bed covered with wounds. Then he looked at Qi Zhen standing aside and said, "The hot water and cloth towels you asked for are ready for you."
There was no strange application on Qi Zhen's face, and she said softly: "You must be Brother Xiong Wu."
"Do you know me?" Xiong Wu asked.
"Looking so much like Xiong Wen, he must be his twin brother." Qi Zhen said with a smile.
"I have been selling goods here and there for many years and I know a little bit about medicine. Do you want me to show this little brother?" Xiong Wu said.
"No, I've just seen it. He has skin wounds all over his body. It doesn't look like he's injured his muscles or bones. Besides, you don't have any healing medicine here. I'll just clean his wounds to avoid infection." Qi Zhen He took the hot water and cloth towel from Xiong Wu's hand and refused with a smile.
"Infection?" Xiong Wu asked doubtfully.
Qi Zhen shook his head. It seemed that he was indeed a little confused. He even used the word infection.
"Oh, by the way, if it's convenient, I'd like you to prepare a set of clothes for me. He can't wear the clothes he's wearing," Qi Zhen continued.
"The clothes matter is easy to handle." Xiong Wu nodded.
What is very strange is that from beginning to end, the two of them never mentioned why Xiong Wen's wife did not come back, nor why they ran away from prison.
"I'm really grateful for taking us in. Once my brother wakes up, we will leave without causing any trouble to you and your family."
Qi Zhen soaked the cloth with hot water and put it aside, and began to tear off Liang Sicheng's clothes.
Yes, not taking it off, but tearing it off.
The tearing mentioned here does not mean tearing off his clothes, but tearing off the clothes that have been stuck with blood from his skin.
Without the gaze between the eyes, the impact of Qi Zhen's mental power is less than one-tenth of the Sharingan, but it is still better than nothing.
This is the first time Qi Zhen has used this mental anesthesia method here.
In fact, from the moment she met Liang Sicheng, Qi Zhen never stopped mentally hypnotizing him.
Otherwise, Liang Sicheng would have died long ago just by carrying him along the bumpy road, instead of carrying him on his back.
Even though Qi Zhen's mental power was working at full capacity, Liang Sicheng still frowned in pain and moaned in pain while unconscious.
Qi Zhen did not ask Xiong Wu to leave. On the contrary, he hoped that Xiong Wu could see this scene.
As expected, Xiong Wu frowned deeply at the side.
The beating was really too miserable.
He tore off Liang Sicheng's prison uniform and slowly wiped the wounds on Liang Sicheng's body with the freshly soaked cloth. Soon the wounds covered with blood scabs were exposed.
There were cuts, burns, and bloody marks from the whip.
Qi Zhen's breathing became a little heavy.
Inexplicably, Xiong Wu felt that the air around him seemed a bit colder.
As expected, as Qi Zhen expected, almost all of Liang Sicheng's slightly thin body, whether it was his chest or back, was covered with wounds. Once the hot water melted them away, many wounds began to gush with blood again.
Moreover, it seemed that the old and new injuries were superimposed on top of each other, so it would take more than a day or two for him to be tortured.
Fortunately it was winter, otherwise with the humid environment in the prison, his wounds would have been infested with maggots by now.
The water beside him quickly turned bright red. Xiong Wu helped pour it twice. When he poured blood water for the third time, he had an extra vial in his hand.
"This is medicine for bruises. It is indeed difficult to get it in this year, but I have accumulated some money from selling goods over the years. You should give it to him first." Xiong Wu explained.
Qi Zhen took the medicine bottle and said thank you.
The next moan was louder.
"Now I'm afraid that all the defenders in the city have started to search for the two of us. Will his calling like this attract those people?" Qi Zhen, who was applying the medicine, suddenly said.
"No, this little noise won't happen." Xiong Wu said.
"Brother Xiong Wu, I can leave here tomorrow. Before I leave, I have a few words to say to you." Qi Zhen took a few deep breaths and spoke softly.
Xiong Wu said nothing and waited for the next step.
"My brother, I have to trouble you for a few more days. He may have a high fever in the past few days. If possible, I would like to ask you to think of a way to wait until he can move around on his own. Even if the injury is not good, we will We must leave here as quickly as possible."
"Your brother Xiong Wen told me the location here and said I could hide here, but in order to prevent him from being discovered helping the prisoner escape, I knocked him unconscious. I thought this would clear his suspicion, so if he tomorrow Don't be too surprised if he doesn't come back, you can go to the Yamen and ask, it should be fine."
Xiong Wu looked into Qi Zhen's eyes solemnly, and said slowly: "The second thing, I will go back to the Yamen tomorrow for verification, and I will also bring back the medicine you want. There is no problem with this matter, as for your brother , I’m sorry I can’t stay here.”
Qi Zhen let out a long sigh, his face had become a little pale due to the long period of mental power output, but his eyes still slowly turned into the shape of the Sharingan.
If that didn't work, he could only use illusion to hypnotize Xiong Wu before making any plans. After all, with Liang Sicheng as a seriously injured person, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do anything.
"But I can change a place for you, but the conditions are a little simpler than here, if you don't dislike it." Xiong Wu's voice rang at this time.
