Chapter 1116 - 357: Thieves, A Good Turn_3
Liyan mentioned that the child was the one Little Black had picked up before New Year, and by now they had been caring for the child for seven or eight days. At first, the child was full of fear towards strangers, and had tried to run away; when Mo Yan stepped forward to stop her, she was bitten.
These past couple of days, the child’s condition had indeed improved. The three meals sent to her were almost entirely eaten, and her appetite was gradually increasing. Mo Yan had not personally visited, but heard from Lixiu, who delivered the meals, that the child’s wounds were slowly healing; however, she had not spoken a word, and even the cries for help, for her mother, and for her big sister that she used to utter had gradually stopped.
"She actually spoke? That’s really good news, let’s go; I’ll take a look too." Upon hearing that the child had started to speak, Mo Yan was also very happy, as this indicated that the child was getting better, and maybe in a few days she would remember her own identity. Then, Mo Yan could help find her family, and perhaps they could all be reunited.
In the past, Mo Yan had considered starting with the textile workshop that abused children to find out the child’s background but Xiao Ruiyuan had sent word saying that all the children in the workshop were bought from traffickers.
There were too many children passed through the hands of the traffickers, who could not remember where each child was from, only that they vaguely recalled buying her from Yongcheng.
Yongcheng was the city where the Mo Family had hoped to seek shelter during the year of the refugee crisis. Later on, after meeting Xiao Ruiyuan and others, and heeding the advice of Xiao Eleven, they had made the right choice and were fortunate to arrive in Jing City.
Upon learning that the Mo Family had rescued a child, Wu’s had not seen her yet, and as she had nothing to do at the moment, she said with a smile, "I’ll go and see her with you. If it turns out to be impossible to find her family, let me raise her. I assure you I will treat her as my own daughter."
Mo Yan heard the seriousness in Wu’s words and knew why she would do so, feeling somewhat distressed yet smiling, "It’s her good fortune that Aunt Wu is willing to take care of her. I was just worrying about how to place her if we couldn’t find her family!"
