Chapter 274 The boy recalls his life
Xiao Xizi carefully supported the injured boy, slowly got off the carriage, and walked into the quiet manor.
Wang Xinyao asked Xiao Xizi to place the boy on a comfortable bed, and then quickly took out various medicines from the space.
When Wang Xinyao uncovered the boy's clothes, the scene before her made her gasp.
The boy's body was covered with dense, crisscrossing scars. Some of the wounds were still bleeding, some had already healed, but more of them were wounds that were new and old, overlapping and intertwined.
These scars seemed to tell of the endless pain and torture the boy had endured. Even the knowledgeable doctor Wang Xinyao couldn't help but feel a surge of sadness and pity when he saw this scene.
The boy's faint breathing echoed throughout the room, and every breath seemed to be accompanied by pain in his body.
However, despite this, the boy still gritted his teeth and tried hard not to let his tears flow out.
"Thank you so much for saving my life, sister. If you hadn't helped me, I would have been captured by them and would have been living a life worse than death." The boy said in a weak but grateful voice.
Wang Xinyao looked at the young man's haggard yet resolute face. She wanted to ask him about his life experience and why he ended up in such a situation, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.
She knew very well that everyone had their own secrets, and perhaps some things were not suitable to be revealed easily.
For her, saving the poor boy was just a piece of cake.
So, Wang Xinyao smiled slightly and said gently to the boy, "Rest well. We can talk about other things after you recover from your injury."
After saying that, she began to concentrate on treating the boy's shocking wounds.
After careful treatment, the boy's originally pale and weak face gradually regained color, his physical condition improved significantly, and he looked much more energetic.
Despite the pain he had just experienced, there was still a glimmer of determination in his eyes.
The boy was obviously very sensible and well-behaved. He even told Wang Xinyao about his life story without her asking.
He raised his head slightly, looked at Wang Xinyao with clear and slightly sad eyes, and slowly recalled:
"Sister, my name is Yang Hui, I'm 12 years old. My hometown is Nanhu County."
When Wang Xinyao heard the three words "Nanhu County", she couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity in her heart.
After all, it was a place she was familiar with. She didn't expect that the young man in front of her was from the same hometown as her.
As a result, she showed more concern and pity for Yang Hui.
Then, Yang Hui continued, "Sister, actually my mother was forcibly taken away by my father.
He locked my mother up at home like a prisoner and did not allow her to have any contact with the outside world.
However, my father cruelly abandoned us when I was two years old and never returned home. Because my mother gave birth to me before she got married, she was discriminated against and bullied in the village.
Despite this, my mother still worked hard to raise me. Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long. When I was eight years old, my mother finally passed away due to illness caused by overwork...”
When he said this, Yang Hui's voice was slightly choked, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Before leaving, my mother held my hand tightly, told me my father's address solemnly, and told me to find my father.
With anxiety about the unknown journey and longing to meet my father, I resolutely embarked on this long and arduous journey to find my relatives.
I slept in the open air along the way, and finally, with my tenacious perseverance and firm belief, I arrived at my father's house after many hardships.
However, fate always seems to like playing tricks on people. Just when I was about to knock on the door with joy, the door suddenly opened, and out came the unruly and willful young lady of their family.
The lady looked me up and down, with a look of contempt on her face, and concluded that I was a beggar. She even felt that I had offended her and blocked her way.
She ordered the servants around her to punch and kick me, and beat me mercilessly.
At this time, my father came back and I thought I was saved, but he didn't even look at me and just had me thrown away on the side of the road like garbage.
Just when I was feeling desperate and helpless, a group of people performing odd jobs passed by and took me in.
At first, I was secretly glad that I was finally saved, but I soon found that I was just jumping from one fire pit into another deeper wolf's den.
These odd performers didn't treat me as a human being at all. The food they gave me every day was pitifully little, but the work they assigned to me was the most and most tiring.
Not only that, they also forced me to practice all kinds of extremely dangerous moves. If I was not careful or performed poorly, I would be mercilessly whipped.
This inhuman life has exhausted me both physically and mentally, and I find it unbearable.
Finally one day, while they were careless and didn't notice me, I seized the opportunity and chose to escape without hesitation.
Fortunately, on the way to escape, I unexpectedly met a kind and gentle sister. "
At this moment, recalling this unbearable experience, Yang Hui couldn't help but feel sad, and tears blurred his eyes.
He fell to his knees with a plop, and sobbed to Wang Xinyao in gratitude: "Thank you, sister! If you hadn't appeared in time to save me, I'm afraid I would have been captured by them again and lived a life worse than death..."
Wang Xinyao gently patted Yang Hui's shoulder and comforted her, "The past cannot be changed. Live a good life with your sister from now on."
Yang Hui raised his tearful eyes and nodded vigorously.
After Wang Xinyao's careful and meticulous treatment, Yang Hui's body recovered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After just a few days, Yang Hui had fully recovered.
Having just recovered, he didn't even have time to rest for a moment before he could not wait to throw himself into the affairs of the manor, wholeheartedly wanting to repay Wang Xinyao for saving his life through his hard work.
This little guy has an extremely smart and quick mind, and his ability to learn new things is first-class. It seems that he can quickly master and skillfully apply any knowledge and skills as long as he takes a look at them.
Whether it is farm work that requires a lot of physical strength, or those seemingly insignificant but complicated and trivial household chores, Yang Hui can handle them in an orderly and proper manner.
All of this naturally fell into Wang Xinyao's eyes, making her secretly happy.
On this day, when Wang Xinyao happened to go to the warehouse to check the material reserves, she was surprised to find that the granary, which was originally full of grain, had suffered a serious rat infestation!
Looking at the mess on the ground and the bags of grain that had been eaten to pieces, Wang Xinyao suddenly frowned and became worried.
