As the saying goes, in troubled times, heavy rules should be used. Although Baili Tong's plan was a bit harsh and there was no telling what unpredictable effects it would have in the future, at the moment, Xu Mingfei was indeed much clearer than he had been a few days ago.
While Lin Xiangwan asked Chu Di to contact a good doctor to diagnose and treat her throat injury, she started to take care of Xu Mingfei's daily life.
She spends a long time alone with Xu Mingfei every day. The two of them may not say a word for a long time, but Lin Xiangwan knows that Xu Mingfei is slowly accepting her, and the look in her eyes is not only fear, but slowly
The earth began to have some dependence.
Baili Tong would come over occasionally, but he always picked Lin Xiangwan. When he was with Xu Mingfei, Chu Di took him to the monitoring room. He was unhappy at first and yelled at Chu Di several times, but gradually he got used to it.
He no longer loses his temper.
After a peaceful period of time, the weather got hotter and hotter, and Lin Xiangwan began to think about doing some personal hygiene for Xu Mingfei.
When she was on the island, the kidnappers would never think so much about her. Sometimes they beat her too hard and the blood on her body was too heavy. They were afraid that she would be infected and die, and they would splash thick seawater all over her.
Although the method was cruel, it was thanks to this that the injuries on Xu Mingfei's body did not become inflamed, and she survived.
But as for taking a bath, she was extremely disgusted because of the above reasons.
Lin Xiangwan once took her into the bathroom. As soon as Xu Mingfei saw the spray of water from the nozzle, she would hide in fear, making Lin Xiangwan unable to catch her.
Lin Xiangwan had no choice but to take a small basin to collect some water, and carefully wiped Xu Mingfei's body with a cloth bit by bit. Without the stimulation of the water injection, and Lin Xiangwan's movements were very gentle, Xu Mingfei was now
No resistance.
"It's a pity that such good and long hair has ended up like this. But don't worry, I'll cut it for you now, and it will grow back again in the future." Lin Xiangwan smoothed Xu Mingfei's long hair.
After calling for nearly an hour, there was no progress. Her hair had become like rotten grass due to long-term sun exposure and seawater erosion. There was no point in leaving it on any longer. Lin Xiangwan and Xu Mingfei discussed how to do it.
I had a small pair of scissors in my hand and started to take action.
Xu Mingfei obediently lay on her lap and tolerated her movements silently. After a while, her waist-length hair fell down one after another. Because she was so thin, her clothes were sloppy, and her hair usually
Although it was blocked, nothing could be seen. Now that the hair was cut off, Lin Xiangwan could see the injury on Xu Mingfei's neck at a glance.
She took a breath, touched Xu Mingfei's injury with trembling fingers, and asked her in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"
Xu Mingfei didn't seem to understand what she was saying. He felt that her fingers were gentle, so he rubbed his cheek against her fingertips, like a small animal, showing no signs of caution to Lin Xiangwan.
Lin Xiangwan's tears welled up at that moment. She used scissors to cut along the hem of Xu Mingfei's clothes. When all the clothes were gone, the scissors also fell to the ground...
*Lin Xiangwan said that night that she was very tired and had not had dinner. Chu Di was a little worried about her and went to visit her in the bedroom.
The lights were darkened in the bedroom, and Lin Xiangwan was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The red wine glass and the empty wine jar were poured on the carpet. She looked out the window dreamily, and her fingertips drew the outline of the neighbor's house on the glass.
She was painting very seriously and didn't even react when Chu Di approached. It wasn't until Chu Di sat cross-legged next to her that she glanced at him lightly and asked, "What is Ye Nan doing?"
"I'm playing chess with the master for about two hours. What's wrong with you?" Chu Di stretched out his hand to try on her forehead. Surprisingly, Lin Xiangwan didn't hide. Her eyes were dull, and there was chaos in her eyes.
Di frowned, "Drink a lot of wine?"
Her temperature was a little high, but it wasn't because of a sick fever, it was more like alcohol.
Lin Xiangwan didn't defend himself, and nodded very honestly, "Don't be upset, I didn't drink your good wine, it was just ordinary."
"Do you think I'm unhappy because of this?" Chu Di's voice raised an octave, and Lin Xiangwan covered his ears with his hands, "Don't be so loud, it's so noisy."
"What's wrong with you? Didn't you have a good day? What happened?" Chu Di was a little anxious. He didn't like her hiding things from him. As long as she kept things in her heart, he would always be the unlucky one in the end.
"I want to tell you too...but I don't know how to say it. I gave Xu Mingfei a bath today...I saw her body..." Lin Xiangwan was halfway through his story when his body started to tremble slightly. Chu Di suddenly
Suddenly he understood why she was depressed. He stretched out his arms, half-hugged her in his arms, and let her lean on his chest.
"Isn't it scary? Although I have never seen it, I can imagine it... Don't worry, these things have passed and Xu Mingfei will get better."
"No...you don't understand...we are all saying that she will get better, that's because we are not her. I used to have confidence that as long as she stayed, she would recover slowly, but today I am tired of her injuries.
... I dare not be so sure anymore. Chu Di, those bastards... they used knives to carve their names on her back and legs... Those scars will never fade away... No matter what
No method can be used to repair it... She will never forget this in her life. As long as she sees herself, she will think of this disgusting experience... What should she do in the future? We can heal her injuries
, but who can heal her heart?"
Lin Xiangwan couldn't describe to Chu Di how she felt when she first saw the old and new injuries on Xu Mingfei's body, as well as the names of the villains. Because that feeling was completely beyond words.
, she only regretted that she was not at the scene and could not personally kill those people.
"This is not a problem that you and I can worry about. This is her life. No matter how difficult it is, she has to go through it by herself. We can only stay with her and help her when she can't hold on. But there is no way.
You can stay with her for a lifetime." Chu Di held Lin Xiangwan's hand tightly, "Don't underestimate Xu Mingfei. She has experienced quite a lot. She can withstand such a storm. In the future...she will definitely take care of her.
Take care of yourself."
Is this really going to happen? Lin Xiangwan felt uneasy in her heart. She always felt that something was going to happen. Xu Mingfei's tranquility at the moment was just to brew a bigger storm, just like she did before.
No one can completely bear it after suffering such hurt and grievance. Those ugly things buried deep in the heart must burst out before a person can recover. If not, one day, she will be forced by the past
Crazy. If according to what Chu Di said, Xu Mingfei is not as weak as she appears, then what is she waiting for, and when will she explode? When she desperately tears down all the covers, will they really be able to face it?
?
Some cruelty does not necessarily have to happen to you to feel pain. When someone you love deeply or care about is tortured, you will feel more uncomfortable than them. This is what is called empathy.
Their pain is just the pain of being physically tortured, while your pain has more emotional elements added to it.
*The doctor Chu Di sent Xu Mingfei to treat her throat was the same doctor who connected Lin Xiangwan's wrist nerve.
The doctor's surname was Gao. Although he was very young, Lin Xiangwan felt like she was taking a breath of fresh air when she saw him. She knew that he must be a good doctor, because only good doctors can have such a confident and proud attitude, just like before.
She is the same, she can block all the injured bosses from the door. As long as she doesn't negotiate the price she wants, no one can enter her door, because she knows she is worth that price.
The same was true for Dr. Gao. The reward Chu Di gave him far exceeded the scope stipulated by the hospital, but he was still very calm about accepting it.
The operation was successful, but there was some trouble before the operation. When the anesthesiologist was about to inject Xu Mingfei with anesthesia, she suddenly resisted stubbornly and no one could stop it. Lin Xiangwan thought of her experience, so she let people know
Spinal injections were abandoned and inhaled laughing gas was used.
The advantage of inhaling laughing gas is that it can keep the patient awake and the recovery time is short, but the disadvantage is also here. Fortunately, the operation is not a major operation. Xu Mingfei will not feel very uncomfortable even if he wakes up soon.
.
During the operation, Lin Xiangwan stayed with her, while Xu Mingfei turned his eyes to look at her like a child from time to time. As long as Lin Xiangwan smiled at her and patted her gently,
On the back of her hand, a smile appeared in her eyes.
One month after the operation, Xu Mingfei's wound recovered very well. Apart from going to work, Lin Xiangwan spent most of his spare time practicing pronunciation with her. Ye Nan also helped a lot, and the child even found
I used to read children's books, correcting Xu Mingfei's pronunciation word by word. It was even more lively when Xiaozhen came as a guest. With two children and Xu Mingfei who was babbling and talking, the three of them often talked like a fool.
The unflattering words made Aunt Zhang and Lin Xiangwan, who were busy in the kitchen, burst into laughter.
Although Xu Mingfei's voice was hoarse and low when she spoke, like a boy's voice changing, which was very unpleasant, Lin Xiangwan felt very relieved every time he heard her speak, just like seeing a sapling that had gone through wind and rain.
, finally revealed new branches again.
Another month later, Xu Mingfei could speak some short sentences through unremitting practice, but Lin Xiangwan did not expect that the first thing she said to herself was, "I want to see him."
"You mean..." Lin Xiangwan already had an answer in her mind, but she couldn't believe it.
Xu Mingfei nodded, "Baili Tong. I want to see him."
