Chapter 189: Chapter 94 Trip to Chongqing (15) Ye Qichi Enters the Plague Area_2
The surrounding people seemed accustomed to the sight, not even sparing a glance.
"Wait." Ye Qichi suddenly called out to the soldiers upon seeing the third body being dragged away.
The soldier glanced at Ye Qichi, "Move aside, don’t block the way!"
"He’s not dead," Ye Qichi stated bluntly.
Even though she was some distance away, she only needed one look to feel the presence or absence of life.
"It’s just a matter of a few hours. Better to drag it out early, otherwise if they die, they won’t be moved until tomorrow night. It’s warm here, they’ll start to stink if left for too long," the soldier said indifferently.
A single life had no impact on them.
It was merely seen as an inconvenience.
Ye Qichi’s complexion visibly changed, and she shouted loudly, "Don’t drag him away; he’s not dead, you can’t treat him as if he were."
"What are you..." The soldier was provoked and looked ready to get physical.
Another soldier hastily held him back, "We just received word that we’re to treat the newcomer specially. Whatever she asks for, we follow her orders!"
The soldier frowned.
The other soldier quickly gave him a look.
With a rough gesture, the soldier threw down the "corpse" he was dragging, and said irritably, "If she dies and stinks, don’t blame me!"
After saying that, he turned to drag away another body.
Ye Qichi hurriedly helped the woman the soldiers had thrown down.
The woman was light and thin.
She didn’t need much effort to drag the woman to a corner.
No sooner had she laid the woman down than a little girl about 7 or 8 years old approached Ye Qichi, her eyes red as she whispered, "Mom, mom..."
Ye Qichi looked at the dirty little girl, who was so thin she was almost skin and bones.
"Is this your mother?" Ye Qichi asked.
"Yes," the little girl sobbed in reply. "Dad said mom is already dead, but I don’t believe it. She was holding my hand tightly just now. She just couldn’t speak, but she isn’t dead. I just told the official, but they didn’t listen to me. Dad covered my mouth and told me to stop talking. He said if we anger the officer, our whole family would die..."
The little girl couldn’t help but burst into tears.
Ye Qichi stroked the little girl’s head, "Don’t be afraid, sister will save your mother."
The little girl looked at Ye Qichi disbelievingly.
"But you have to promise me not to tell anyone how I save your mother," Ye Qichi requested.
"I won’t tell anyone, not even dad," the girl quickly nodded.
"Then stand in front of me so nobody can see," Ye Qichi instructed.
"Okay." The little girl quickly crawled in front of Ye Qichi, blocking the view of others.
Although no one around really paid attention to them, it was better to be cautious.
After all, if people discovered that her blood could cure diseases, she would be killed here in an instant.
Human nature... can sometimes be terrifying.
Especially those driven mad.
People here, if they knew what could save their lives, would surely fight like starving lions for the "food."
After confirming the situation around her once more, Ye Qichi bit her finger hard, then dripped blood into the woman’s mouth.
The dry lips of the woman instinctively opened to the warmth, and she licked them with her tongue.
Ye Qichi only dripped a few drops.
Then she covered her finger to stop the bleeding.
Indeed.
She still favored Xiao Jinxing.
She nearly fainted from blood loss after giving blood to Xiao Jinxing.
But for this woman, she begrudgingly gave only this little bit.
The real reason, of course, was that she had lost too much blood last night and hadn’t recovered enough today. She couldn’t take risks, and most importantly, if the woman’s body recovered too quickly, it would definitely cause a sensation and even chaos, which was not advisable at this time.
She told the little girl, "Stay with your mother tonight. Talk to her more and tell her to hang in there, understand?"
"Yes, thank you, sister," the little girl said gratefully.
She quickly returned to her mother’s side, making a pillow of her legs for her mother’s head.
"What’s your name?" Ye Qichi asked, beginning to inquire about the situation here.
"I’m Xiao Xi," the girl answered.
"Is your whole family here?"
"Yes," the girl nodded. "Mom showed symptoms first, then our whole family was brought here by the soldiers. My father, my grandfather, and I don’t have any symptoms yet, but mom is..."
