Chapter 244: Fever (Second Update)_1
The woman tried to scream, but the sight of the foul socks in the mouths of those men made her swallow her voice again, and at that moment, those men were already rolling their eyes from the stench of the socks.
Gu Yao watched with disgust, feeling the stench from afar; how much worse would it be to have the socks in one’s mouth? He resolved to never offend this young girl in the future.
Yang Ruxin rolled up her undershirt and stuffed it into the mouth of one of the subdued men, "This should smell nice, right?"
That man couldn’t help but roll his eyes too. Did this woman not bathe for days? Her undershirt was soaked with sweat mixed with the scent of rouge, which was even worse than the socks.
Yang Ruxin, having achieved her goal, ignored those men and went inside the house. After searching and finding no one else, and noticing there wasn’t much in the house, she discovered thirty taels of chopped silver and a letter in a box. Deeming them illicit gains, she quietly confiscated everything.
When she came out of the house, she saw Dabao carrying a little girl, who was barely breathing, out of the woodshed in the backyard with great difficulty.
"Is this your sister?" Yang Ruxin’s brows furrowed. To think that they had put the little girl in the woodshed?
Tears streamed down Dabao’s face, "My sister has had a fever for three days now..."
Yang Ruxin quickly took the little girl into her arms, feeling her burning temperature, and seeing that she appeared to be unconscious, she ran out, instructing Gu Yao as she did so, "I’ll leave this to you. I’m taking the child to the clinic..." The little girl’s whole body was scorching hot, as if on fire; any later, and she might have been burned stupid.
"Don’t worry, I won’t let these scum off lightly," Gu Yao responded. Dealing with these people was easy for him, but the person behind them might be more troublesome. He’d need to discuss with his older brother later and seek the assistance of the Qi family.
