A-Shan Niang faced the sun and concentrated on washing the sand. Her beautiful and cold face was as blank as a wood carving and clay sculpture, and she was mechanically repeating the movements in her hands.
Ah Suan followed her step by step.
He was too young and did not go into the mines like other men.
The supervisor on the island did not allow him to rest. He had to go down to the river with his mother to pan for gold every day.
Lin Chu's heart trembled when he saw it.
Ah Suan's hand was cut. Although it was treated, it only used some simple herbs.
After being soaked in water for so long, the herbs contained in the bandage had long since floated away, leaving only the pale bandage that had been rinsed and soaked.
In the gap between Ah Shaan's fingers on the edge of the dustpan in his hand, the bloody dahlias were slowly spreading, dyeing the clear river water red.
Lin Chu frowned, grabbed his little hand tightly, and pulled him out of the water.
"What are you doing?" Ah Suan was in pain and scared, staring at her with wet eyes like a frightened deer.
"Shut up!"
Lin Chu shouted coldly, took off the bandage in a few seconds, glanced at his palm, and took a deep breath.
Ah Suan's hand had already been soaked in the glacier and turned pale. The incision was already as pale as paper, and half of the blood of a normal person had long since disappeared.
The wound that had been treated yesterday was now turned out like a baby's lips, allowing one to see the distribution of texture under his cut skin at a glance.
But the child was stubborn and said nothing.
"Let go, don't delay my work."
Ah Suan frowned and made a gesture to withdraw his hand. But Lin Chu's fingers were like iron pincers that prevented him from breaking free, and he twisted his body anxiously.
Lin Chu raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and gave him a loud scream: "You brat, your hands are injured, how can you touch the water? You don't want to die!"
Ah Suan subconsciously turned back to look at his mother. The woman remained expressionless and kept repeating the movements in her hands without even giving him the slightest glance.
Ah Suan bit his lip and lowered his eyes.
"I don't want you to worry about it!"
He turned his head to avoid Lin Chu's touch: "If you want to live well here, you have to work! Don't hurt me!"
Lin Chu pursed his lips.
Work! Live!!
Is this something that a four or five-year-old child should worry about? He even wants to destroy Wuxiangdu!
Lin Chu also glanced sideways at A-Sai's mother, who was concentrating entirely on the sand in the dustpan. As for A-Sai, it was like an unrelated thing happened to an unrelated person.
Lin Chu looked back and put his palm against Ah Suan's forehead, only to feel the warmth coming from his palm was astonishingly hot.
"Damn it!"
She frowned hard, the little guy was indeed infected!
To be scalded like this and still enter the water, Wu Xiangdu is really inhumane and doesn't treat the prisoners as human beings at all!
In addition, there is a lack of medical treatment and medicine here. If the wound on the hand cannot be healed for a long time, and the infection and fever occur again, I am afraid that this little life will be...
Lin Chu's eyes narrowed, he picked up Ah Suan, put her on his shoulders and walked towards the shore without any explanation.
"What are you doing, let go!"
Seeing that he was getting further and further away from the river, Ah Shaan panicked. His little body kept struggling, like a restless fish.
Lin Chu slapped him hard on the butt: "Be honest!"
She used so much strength that she felt ashamed and annoyed, and her crystal tears fell into the river one by one like drinking water from a bursting embankment.
"You stinky woman, why do you care about me? You still hit me!"
The movement in the river finally alerted the supervisors on the bank. Everyone's eyes lit up, and they were slightly excited.
From the beginning to the end, Ah Suanniang never paid any attention to her son.
"Big bear."
A tall and mighty man with green eyes spoke unskilled Xichu Mandarin and patted Xiong Da on the shoulder: "It's the people in your team who are causing trouble. I will accompany you to help those two Songsong who don't know whether to live or die."
Muscles and bones, how about having fun together?"
