Chapter 117 Help
Chi Xia relied on her remaining sanity to tell Luo Xun the password to the house. As soon as she entered the door, she subconsciously pushed Luo Xun away and stumbled towards the bathroom.
Luo Xun closed the door and followed her in. He saw her sitting on the ground skillfully, stuffing a towel into her mouth, then opening the cabinet in a hidden place and groping inside.
After touching it for a few times, Chi Xia suddenly realized that all the medicine had been taken away by his senior sister and the new ones had not been delivered yet.
Luo Xun looked serious, squatted down and asked her: "Where are the medicines, Chi Xia, where are your medicines?"
Chi Xia shook his head.
Luo Xun saw her biting the towel, and felt sorry for her. He pinched Chi Xia's jaw and pulled the towel out: "I'll think of a way. Just bear with it. This will hurt your teeth."
"Senior sister took it away."
Chi Xia looked at him with red eyes, grabbed his arm, and dug her nails into it: "There is something wrong with the medicine, she took it away."
Luo Xun took a deep breath, half-knelt on the ground, one of his arms was pinched by her, and with the other hand he took out his cell phone to call Mr. Ba.
"I'm in a hurry. Bring your toolbox here immediately and stay hidden so no one can see you."
He told her the address and hung up the phone. When he turned around, his arm was already bleeding from being pinched by Chi Xia. He looked around, took off the bath towel, and wrapped her up randomly.
She didn't go to the hospital. This might be the place where she felt safest at the moment. Luo Xun didn't dare to act rashly.
Chi Xia opened her eyes hazily and looked at him. For some reason, the fragmented memories in her mind kept bringing up waves of sadness, and she couldn't control her tears at all.
Luo Xun couldn't bear to see her like this, and without knowing when, his eyes also turned red.
"Bite it."
He gritted his teeth, held the back of her head and brought her towards him.
Chi Xia bit his shoulder with her teeth, and in an instant the skin and flesh were torn apart. Tears seeped down her jaw. Luo Xun closed his eyes, his Adam's apple rolled, and he took several breaths of cold air.
Officer Chi, you have really good teeth, he said to himself.
The Eighth Master arrived faster than Luo Xun had imagined. When there was a knock on the door, Chi Xia seemed to realize something and let go of Luo Xun's shoulders.
Luo Xun let out a long breath, and the breath seemed to tremble, causing Officer Luo to feel a little dizzy when he stood up.
Looking at his arm that had been grabbed, pinched and scratched by her, Luo Xun took a deep breath again and chose to take it off forcefully.
Scratches ran across his arm, and he stood up, walked out of the bathroom and opened the door.
As the door opened, a woman with a high ponytail and wearing a motorcycle suit walked in. She glanced around with a charming look: "Where is the person?"
"Restroom." Luo Xun had already walked back: "Give her an injection of sedative first."
In the bathroom, when Mr. Ba saw Chi Xia's condition, his face immediately became serious. Without saying a word, he squatted down, opened the tool box, and quickly gave Chi Xia an injection.
"Okay, carry the person inside." Mr. Ba put away the needle: "This place is too cold."
Luo Xun picked him up and felt Chi Xia's tense body finally relax, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.
"You come in too." He called to Master Ba, "Change her clothes."
After settling Chi Xia down, Master Ba came out and closed the door. "What's going on? Are you two fighting each other? That shouldn't be the case, right?"
Luo Xunsi breathed out cold air and lifted the clothes on his shoulders: "Master, come over and treat my wound first, then we can discuss this issue."
Seeing the marks on his arm, Mr. Ba walked over and said, "Could you please take it off?"
Luo Xun took off his shirt with one hand. The bite wound on his shoulder was shocking. Mr. Ba's face tightened and he stopped joking: "What's going on? You have such a strong taste."
As the disinfectant came into contact with his skin, Luo Xun hissed without concealing his presence.
Hearing this, Mr. Ba rolled his eyes and said, "It's not like you haven't been injured before. Which scar on your back is lighter than this one? And you didn't say a word. Captain Luo, you are being hypocritical."
"It's of a different nature." Luo Xun hissed again, "Please don't bring up your personal feelings, okay? The police officer will feel the pain too, okay?"
The Eighth Master snorted and laughed, and said with less force, "What's wrong with her?"
Luo Xun paused and said, "Let's wait until she wakes up. This is her private matter, I can't say anything."
"oh."
Mr. Ba stopped the bleeding, applied medicine, and bandaged it. He sneered, "Your arm is quite colorful. If you don't know better, you might think it's a couple quarreling."
Luo Xun put on his clothes, leaned back, and exhaled: "I'll call the bureau first."
The Eighth Master curled his lips, knowing the rules very well, and went to the bedroom to check on Chi Xia.
Luo Xun called Lin Wenjue, and they rushed to ask about Chi Xia's condition. Luo Xun only said that she had been working while sick during this period, and that this happened because the work intensity was too high in the past two days.
With the situation on the day Zhou Wanrou's body was found as a prelude, Lin Wenjue and the others did not think much about it. They just asked him to take good care of Chi Xia and leave the aftermath to them.
Just after finishing the call, Mr. Ba came out, stood at the door of the bedroom and said, "Luo Xun, she might be waking up."
Luo Xun immediately turned around and walked over.
"Then I'll leave first?" Mr. Ba pointed his thumb in the direction of the door.
"Wait a minute." Luo Xun poured a glass of water and said, "Wait until she is stable before you leave. I'm afraid something else might happen."
Mr. Ba nodded: "Well, go in, call me if you need anything."
When Luo Xun went in, Chi Xia had just opened his eyes, and his eyes were still a little hazy.
When I heard someone coming in, my body tensed up again in an instant and I was on guard all over.
"It's me." Luo Xun said.
Chi Xia immediately lowered her guard, her eyes showing weakness. She opened her mouth, her throat burning.
Luo Xun helped her sit up and handed the water to her mouth: "Drink some water to moisten your throat."
"When I'm having an attack."
She drank some water and took a deep breath. "When you are unconscious, you may reveal some information. Is there anything that can be used?"
There was a hint of expectation in her eyes, and Luo Xun put a pillow behind her: "Yes."
"What?" Chi Xia stood up slightly, a little nervous.
"When we entered the community, you said you missed someone. I don't know if it was a man or a woman, but I think it was most likely a man."
After Luo Xun finished speaking, he asked her again: "What about you? Have you thought of anything?"
"Yes." Chi Xia pulled the corner of his mouth, a little proud: "Although it is very short, it can be regarded as a relatively complete segment."
"Is it convenient for you to talk?" Luo Xun moved a stool over and prepared to listen.
She nodded, but her mind was still in a mess. Chi Xia closed her eyes and pieced together the fragments of memory in a daze.
Luo Xun was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
Until she opened her eyes and said, "It must be New Year's Eve of a certain year. It was very cold. I was locked in a big cage. The cage must be underground."
"What they opened must have been a very heavy iron plate. It snowed heavily that day, and the snow and cold wind poured in from above... I was wearing what must have been a skirt, very delicate, but I was very cold, extremely cold."
She raised her arm and moved her fingers. "My fingertips hurt. It's like the pain from being frozen. And I'm holding a dagger in my hand, and..."
Luo Xun handed the water over again: "Tell me slowly, it's okay if you don't want to talk."
Chi Xia drank the water, shook his head, and continued slowly: "And outside the cage, there are a lot of people looking at me, most of them are children, the oldest...maybe not even as old as Xu Yang."
Luo Xun frowned and his heart skipped a beat.
"The cold weather is one thing, but there should also be man-made coldness."
Chi Xia frowned: "Someone said that if I want to survive, I have to find a way myself."
"There are three bodies in front of me." Chi Xia looked at Luo Xun: "Captain Luo, those are human bodies. They died not long ago and still have body temperature."
Luo Xun had realized that it must be a very cruel scene, but he still had to ask: "How did you know?"
"I cut open one of the bodies because I was told that if I wanted to survive, I had to get inside."
To dissect his body, take out his tissues and bones, and wrap oneself in a piece of human skin.
Chi Xia's throat itched slightly: "The blood is still hot, I should be...seven or eight years old."
Luo Xun's face was gloomy and his eyes were cold. He frowned and stood up suddenly: "Asshole!"
After he finished speaking, he saw Chi Xia's face and immediately sat back down and softened his voice: "I'm not talking about you."
"I know."
As Chi Xia spoke, she couldn't help but dry heave. The smell of blood seemed to linger around her, suffocating her.
Luo Xun stood up again, his face terribly gloomy, patted her on the back, handed the cup to her mouth, and controlled his voice to be as steady as possible: "Don't think about it for now, Chi Xia, we have plenty of time."
What a cruel person must be to force a six or seven-year-old child to do such a thing!
What on earth had she been through!
Luo Xun had no idea what was going on. He just felt that his heart was about to burst out of his chest with anger.
Chi Xia drank water from his hand to suppress her nausea.
Luo Xun put down the cup, took out a candy from his pocket, peeled it, and stuffed it into Chi Xia's mouth: "Press it."
The sugar was very sour, and Chi Xia frowned, but the feeling of nausea was indeed suppressed.
When she regained some strength, she saw the marks on Luo Xun's arm caused by her pinching and scratching, and suddenly remembered that she had bitten his shoulder at that time.
Luo Xun noticed her gaze: "Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just a minor injury."
Chi Xia laughed: "Captain Luo, the person who gave me the injection, was it Master Ba?"
Luo Xun was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that he had just asked Mr. Ba not to leave...
"What's wrong?" Chi Xia asked when she saw that he looked strange.
Luo Xun clenched his fist and coughed: "Well...well, Master Ba is still waiting outside..."
Chi Xia was also stunned for a moment, then started coughing like him.
Luo Xun was in a panic.
Within two seconds, there was a knock on the door.
Mr. Ba's voice was full of ridicule: " I say, you two, are you discussing a private marriage in here? It's not possible in this era..."
