Chapter 864 - 117 Persecution, Danger_4
The woman’s home was at the very end of this alley, and as Limin supported her walking inside, she observed the few neighboring homes they passed and found that all were locked, except for one that wasn’t locked but was deathly silent. It showed no signs of habitation.
Limin couldn’t help feeling perplexed. Could it be that none of the five or six households in this entire alleyway were inhabited? Before she had a chance to ask, they had already arrived at the woman’s home.
"Sister, come in quickly, my place isn’t much to look at, so please don’t mind it!"
The door to the home was unlocked, and as the woman pushed it open, she called out, "Son! Mom’s back! I’ve got Silver now, we can go to the doctor!"
Seeing her rush to speak to her son about seeing a doctor as soon as she entered, Limin’s heart settled a bit; it seemed her son was indeed sick.
The woman led Limin into the house. Since the woman had difficulty walking, Limin didn’t let go of her arm just yet, and followed her into the inner room to see her ill son.
The house was not very tidy. Someone lay on the kang bed, their face turned inward, not showing clearly, and their whole body was tightly wrapped in thick blankets, making it impossible to gauge the child’s size from behind. However, the woman had said her son was only seven years old, so perhaps it was just that the blanket was too thick to show his actual size.
"Why have you covered him with such a thick blanket?" Even though he was sick, it was almost summer; that blanket seemed far too hot.
