Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 332: The story of the sickly villain being promoted to a legitimate person (4)

Shen Jingnian stayed at Shi Qi's house for two days to recover from his injury.

Today is the third day. Shi Qi looked at the young version of Shen Jingnian who was still sleeping on his wooden bed. He sighed softly, rubbed the towel in his hand, gently took off his tattered straw sandals, and cleaned the wound on his foot.

He had repeated fevers in the past few days and his wounds were oozing pus. She was afraid that if the condition got worse, he would have to have his limbs amputated.

Although she wanted to take care of him, the addition of a child made the already poor family even poorer.

Glancing at the almost empty rice jar, Shi Qi decided to go out and till the land that had been left uncultivated for a year.

Anyway, she had dropped out of school and had no plans to continue going to school. The main reason was... she had learned so much in school that she was almost calloused. She might as well take this opportunity to experience rural life, study delicious food, plant flowers and plants, and enjoy herself.

Shi Qi was planning her life when a "hiss" sound brought her back to reality.

It turned out that she used too much force and pulled his wound.

Blood oozed out of the deep cut on the forehead again, instantly dyeing the towel red. Shi Qi looked at the child's grinning face and recalled the scene of his own neck being cut, and his heart ached.

Suddenly his eyes flickered: "By the way, Baldy, if I just kill him, won't there be less trouble? If he dies, won't he stop being a yandere and evil person? If he dies, he won't kill so many people." The more Shi Qi thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him, and his hands twisting the towel were ready to move.

The corners of Tu Tu's mouth stiffened slightly: "Well... uh, cough, host, your starting point is good, but don't set off yet... Think about it, if your mission target is dead, can you still survive? Can the mission still succeed?"

Tutu thought secretly in his heart: To be honest, he felt a little guilty, because his host seemed to have accidentally discovered a bug. Killing Shen Jingnian would indeed solve all the problems, but he was not sure whether the world would collapse.

It’s better to coax him first.

Shi Qi: ? That’s right. Otherwise the mission would be meaningless. I’m really tired and confused.

Tutu: “…”

"Ahem, water..." The small and hoarse voice sounded like the throat was torn apart. Shi Qi was frightened when he heard it. He quickly poured a glass of warm water and brought it to Shen Jingnian.

Shen Jingnian opened his eyes with great effort, and supported his body with his thin arms. He put his cracked lips to the edge of the bowl and swallowed it madly. After a while, he had finished the whole bowl of water.

Shi Qi: "Hello..."

Shen Jingnian blinked, saw the girl in front of him, coughed, pursed his lips, and said awkwardly: "I want more..."

Shi Qi looked at the pair of black eyes and nodded suddenly: "Okay, don't be anxious, drink slowly."

He made another big bowl for the child, and Shi Qi finally had time to look at the little person in front of him.

I heard from the villagers that he was ten years old, but because of years of malnutrition and skinny appearance, he looked only seven or eight years old.

His hair was a mess, covered in blood and dirt. He was still wearing tattered short-sleeves in the cold weather, and his straw sandals had holes in them, revealing his bruised toes.

Only those pair of black eyes, sometimes empty, sometimes cold, and sometimes like a pool of stagnant water, were particularly abrupt on the thin and yellow cheeks.

In addition to taking care of Shen Jingnian these days, Shi Qi also heard more or less about the situation at Shen Jingnian's home while chopping wood and washing clothes outside.

His mother seemed to be a daughter of a wealthy family in the city. She eloped with his father and came to this poor village. However, due to health problems, she died after giving birth to him. His father began to indulge in drinking, whoring and gambling, and he ignored his children and took it out on them when he lost money.

I heard from Aunt Liu that there is nothing good about this child.

It was exactly the same when she scrubbed his body, leaving no trace of it.

While drinking water, Shen Jingnian quietly glanced around the room. The fire was burning brightly, and the temperature here was a temperature he had never felt before.

After a long time, his gaze was fixed on the woman who was looking at him in front of the bed.

Her eyes were filled with scrutiny, curiosity... and the pity he hated the most.

He hated that look.

Because those uncles and aunts felt sorry for him but wouldn't really help him...they had their own children.

Such a look would only get him a more severe beating...

He frowned, suddenly put the bowl down heavily, rolled off the bed, wiped his mouth and said, "I'm done drinking."

"Eh?" Shi Qi saw the child fall to the ground and wanted to help him, but was slapped away.

"Enough, I...I want to go home. Please give me back my knife." Shen Jingnian spoke every word, panting with exhaustion.

"Children are not allowed to hold knives, it's too dangerous." Shi Qi couldn't help but worry when he recalled the time when he was pointed a knife at his neck by the river.

Could it be that this kid has already started using a knife to hurt people?

Children are always very sensitive, especially Shen Jingnian.

Shen Jingnian noticed Shi Qi's suspicious look and frowned, seeming a little impatient. He straightened his body and insisted, "I said give it back to me."

Shi Qi thought that he had to straighten the man in front of him and must not let him have any bad intentions, so he spoke out again to stop him: "No, I can give you everything else, but not the knife, it's too much for you..."

Before Shi Qi could finish his words, there was a sound of someone slamming the door.

"Bang...Bang..."

"You bastard, Shen Jingnian! I fucking know you are hiding here... Come out here! And you dare to fight back! If I don't beat you to death this time, I'm not named Shen!" The rough and crazy voice, accompanied by the sound of banging on the door, became more and more intense.

The little man in the room who had just been pretending to be calm was now visibly frightened. His face turned pale, his body trembled with his fists clenched, and his eyes were wandering. In just a moment, his face was covered with sweat.

Shi Qi frowned, feeling a little annoyed by the rude behavior of the person outside the door.

I guess this is Shen Jingnian's so-called 'father'.

She even felt that Shen Jingnian's cruelty and perversion as an adult had a lot to do with this "father".

Shi Qi touched Shen Jingnian's head and carried him to the bed.

"Open the door for me! You little bastard, if you have the guts to hit me, why don't you do it now? You little bastard, today I will chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs!" Seeing that there was no movement in the house, Father Shen banged on the door frantically again.

Shi Qi's temples throbbed when he heard the foul language. He stepped forward and violently opened the wooden door.

The man lost his balance due to inertia and fell headfirst, with a mouthful of mud.

Shi Qi crossed his arms and snorted, "Ouch, sorry, my hand slipped."

The man stood up holding his stomach, followed by a strong smell of alcohol that made Shi Qi want to vomit.

The man glared at Shi Qi fiercely, looking unconscious, and pushed Shi Qi's shoulder away: "Get lost... I'm looking for a child, it's none of your business! Bitch..."

The man was very strong, and Shi Qi was caught off guard and was pushed to the ground.

The back of my head hit the ground and I felt dizzy.

Suddenly, the man's eyes fell on Shi Qi's chest and his eyes gradually became obscene.

Shi Qi was about to get up when he heard the man say lewdly, "Damn, there is such a good thing. This little bastard knows how to find a place and send a woman directly to me. Tsk...hiccup."

Shi Qi was so disgusted that when the man was about to attack her, Shi Qi kicked him directly in the crotch. At the same time, the child rushed out and bit the man's arm.

"Ah...!" In an instant, the stimulating pain made the man scream.

And what followed was a heavy slap directly on the child's face.

Shen Jingnian's small body was even thrown away.

This was the first time Shi Qi had seen such a "father", and she mistakenly thought that the rumors in the village were too serious.

But that slap just now was enough to take a child's life, and he...actually slapped him like that.

Shi Qi's eyelids twitched with anger and she was about to hit him, but reason told her not to.

If she hit him, it would only make the man even more violent, and she had no relationship with the child and could not protect him.

"Sir, please be respectful." Shi Qi gritted his teeth and pulled Shen Jingnian up from the ground.

Shen Jingnian was in a daze and felt dizzy.

He knew that he couldn't stay here any longer. The last time Granny Chen helped him, she was pushed down by the man. This time... the man would definitely hurt his sister.

Shen Jingnian was used to the pain, so he stood up dazedly, looked directly at the man, and whispered, "Go back when you've had enough of the trouble. It's really embarrassing to be out there."

The noise of the fight just now also attracted several villagers, who were pointing and talking here. Even if Shen Yi had some dirty thoughts, with so many people around and the kick from the woman just now, he became a little more sober.

The look he gave Shen Jingnian was like hell. He tapped Shen Jingnian's forehead fiercely and whispered, "Boy, you'll be in trouble when you get home!"

Shen Yi still took Shen Jingnian away in full view of everyone.

Everyone knew what Shen Jingnian was going to face, but no one dared to step forward.

The child's back looked very weak, and he was unsteady as he walked, as if... he had already lost hope and had gotten used to it.

He turned around lightly and looked at Shi Qi, his eyes were like a dead pool, without any ripples.
