Chapter 102 I Want to Cry
While the fighting against the village bandits and the distribution of supplies were in full swing, Xin Nian had already returned to Xin Mochen and Chang Mianmian's side.

They had someone lay out straw mats and then cover the bed with sheets, and carefully treated the injured woman's wounds.

The woman's injuries were quite serious; her bound hands were swollen and ulcerated, and she had whip marks and kick marks all over her body.

The most serious injury was to her lower body. That Commander Wang not only violated her, but also viciously broke both of her legs.

After treating the woman's injuries, Xin Nian thought to herself: I let that bastard off too easily earlier, letting him die too quickly!
We should treat them the same way they treat us, and we need to be more careful when handling things in the future.

Chang Mianmian used water to wipe the woman's body and sighed, "Sister, do you think that fortune teller can predict the future?"

"She does have some skill; she knew from the beginning that the polar night would last for a while. She was also able to decisively conspire with that commander to hoard food and supplies." Xin Nian felt a little nauseous recalling the sorceress's ugly face.

The key is that she is a control-type ability user. Even under the control of the sorceress, she can feel sluggishness, which shows that her control is extraordinary.

Fortunately, we have Xiao Jinzhi, this powerful weapon, otherwise it would have been quite troublesome to fight.

"She's a woman herself, how can she be so cruel to other young girls?" Chang Mianmian gritted her teeth.

Xin Nian recalled the sorceress's ugly face and secretly sneered, "Perverts are everywhere. They might be jealous of young girls' beauty or they might just be antisocial."

“That’s true. Antisocial personalities don’t follow any rules when they do things; they just do whatever they feel like.” Chang Mianmian spat.

At this moment, the woman lifted her eyelids in her sleep, and the stinging discomfort all over her body made her frown and open her eyes with great difficulty.

"Are you alright, young lady? My sister bravely stormed into the bandits' den and rescued you after a lot of effort. She even treated you from head to toe! It must have taken a lot of energy! My sister's name is Xin Nian, the sixth young lady of the Xin family. When you repay this kindness in the future, don't mistake your savior for someone else. Remember, her name is Xin Nian."

Xin Nian: ...

This feels a bit familiar, why is that?

The woman slowly moved her gaze, sweeping it over Xin Nian and Chang Mianmian's faces, before finally fixing it on Xin Nian's face.

Seeing that she was trying to get up, Xin Nian quickly reached out to support her, "Don't move, I just set your leg. You need to rest for at least a month."

The woman looked down at her hands, which were wrapped up like a dumpling, and said in a hoarse voice, "I, I'll let you have some water."

Xin Nian smiled slightly at her, "No need to rush. Your current superpower... that special technique consumes a lot of energy. Do you often feel a needle-like pain in your head?"

The woman nodded repeatedly.

“That means you’ve exhausted yourself mentally.” Xin Nian gently placed her two clenched hands back down and smiled at her. “Don’t worry, you’re safe now. From now on, no one will dare to bully you.”

Years later, when Chen Ling recalled this incident, she couldn't help but sigh, "The captain's words were truly valuable."

"My name is Chen Ling, and I am nineteen years old."

"Sister Ling, my name is Chang Mianmian. Don't worry about your injury. Just call me if you need anything."

"Thank you, thank you for saving me. I... I'll bring you water every day after I recover. As long as I live, you... won't lack water."

Chang Mianmian chuckled, "Sister, why are you so honest? Look at what you're saying, it makes it sound like we only saved you because you're a water-based magical treasure."

Chen Ling got nervous and hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant."

"Just kidding." Chang Mianmian laughed, grasping her wrist and raising a finger, letting the water flow around her fingertip. "Sister, look, look!"

Chen Ling opened her eyes wide, looked at Chang Mianmian, and then at Xin Nian.

"You too?" Chen Ling noticed that the stream of water that Chang Mianmian was swirling around her fingertips, flowing continuously, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, and seemed even clearer and more crystalline than the water she was releasing. Xin Nian smiled slightly, "Just rest well and relax. There's nothing to do these next few days."

We'll have someone lay out a spot on the cart so Chen Ling can lie there and recover from her injury. That way, we won't have to carry her around and risk hurting her injured leg.

Chen Ling's gaze followed Xin Nian's every move. When she saw Xin Nian lift the cushion and leave, she couldn't help but burst into tears, choking out, "Why...didn't she ask anything?"

Chang Mianmian quickly used a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, trying to coax her in a lighthearted tone, "Oh, okay, don't cry. It's not an urgent matter. It's okay to talk about some things when you want to."

Chen Ling suddenly felt that it wasn't real.

Especially after experiencing that hellish ordeal, meeting these two beautiful and understanding girls again gave her an inexplicable urge to burst into tears.

Chang Mianmian put her arm around her shoulder. "Sister, as long as you're alive, nothing else matters. It's okay, time will heal all wounds."

Chen Ling cried in Chang Mianmian's arms for a long time before finally falling into a deep sleep.

Chang Mianmian helped her cover herself with the sheet, got up and went out, only to see He Yun pacing back and forth outside.

"mother."

"Is that girl alright?"

"It's nothing." Chang Mianmian grinned. "What are you doing standing here?"

“People come and go here, I’ll keep an eye on things to prevent anyone from rushing in.” He Yun sighed. “Mother is fine, you should talk to her more, she’ll be fine after she’s cried.”

"Yes, I know." Chang Mianmian took her mother's hand. "Go back and sit over there for a while. I've asked Mu Zhong to keep an eye on things. No one dares to come here and cause trouble."

He Yun smiled and nodded, then honestly told her daughter, "Your father just sent someone to look for me."

Sure enough, her daughter's smiling, round face suddenly darkened.

"But Mother ignored them, so you don't need to worry. Mother remembers everything you said."

"Sixth Miss distributed things to everyone, including your father and the others. Yet you still come to me with such greed; you're truly not a good person."

Chang Mianmian shook her mother's arm, "Mom, you should think like this. They just want to harm us."

“If you really agree to give them things, they will cling to us like bloodsuckers.”

“My sister isn’t a fool. She’s already struggling to support the two of us, how could she possibly support those good-for-nothings from the Chang family?”

"To avoid the pile of dog poop at Lao Chang's house and to prevent them from getting entangled in the mess, my sister will have no choice but to harden her heart and throw us both away to draw a clear line."

"Mom, think about how good we are now, and then think about what we'll do without my sister... Do you know what to do now?"

He Yun shuddered. Although she had only been in contact with Xin Wenyuan's family for a few days, she had a general idea of ​​what kind of people they were.

The food and drinks their small team had these past few days were far superior to what others had.

My daughter is definitely going to be happy with them. I don't care what happens to her, but I can't let her suffer.

He Yun swore, "Mianmian, don't worry, even if the Chang family starves or dies of thirst and begs me for help, I won't even look at them."

"Hey everyone, look at the sky!"
