Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

Chapter 256 Benefactor

Liu Yin gently wiped away the crystal tears on her cheeks with her sleeves. Every tear seemed to carry endless maternal love and self-blame.

Her voice was thin and trembling. "My little Jun is just a three-year-old bud. It's all because of me, as a mother, who didn't take good care of him. Over the years, his little body has always been weak. Every time he gets sick, the pain seems to tear his young life apart. He cries so hard that his voice is almost hoarse. I visited all the famous doctors in the city, whether they were old men with white beards or young doctors with good reputations, and begged them to save my child. But their answers were so cold. They all said that Xiaojun's body might not survive for another ten years."

At this point, Liu Yin's voice almost collapsed, and her tears burst out again, soaking her chest.

An Ying'er watched silently from the side, her eyes filled with deep sympathy and heartache for Liu Yin.

She couldn't help but recall her life with Zhang Zhi in that secluded little house. That period of time was like falling into a bottomless abyss, and every day was endless torture and torment.

Thinking of this, she secretly felt lucky that she had no children. Otherwise, when she was almost devastated, how would her children survive in this world?

Although Liu Yin's experience was different from her own, An Ying'er could empathize with the suffering, helplessness and despair she endured.

Although her husband did not imprison her, the hardships of the world still made it difficult for her to survive.

An Ying'er gently patted Liu Yin's shoulder, her words full of warmth and encouragement: "Miss Liu, don't cry anymore. This Mr. Xiao is a great doctor, maybe he can really cure your Xiaojun's pain."

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Xiao Zhixue, her eyes sparkling with expectation and pleading, as if she had placed all her hopes on this mysterious young man.

When Liu Yin heard this, she felt like a drowning person grabbing the last straw. With tears in her eyes, she looked at Xiao Zhixue expectantly: "Sir, do you really have a way to cure Xiaojun's illness?"

The speed of her speech revealed her inner anxiety and worry, fearing that her only hope would be shattered.

Xiao Zhixue's eyes were firm, and her tone was gentle but powerful: "Take me to your house and let me see Xiaojun's condition with my own eyes. If I can do something, I will definitely not sit idly by."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yin hurriedly agreed, forgetting for a moment the inconvenience of her feet, and limped along to lead the way.

"I'll take you two there right away."

Just as the three were preparing to set off, Liu Yin suddenly remembered Ding Qiang who was unconscious at home, and her brows furrowed: "Is my husband okay?"

Even at this moment, Liu Yin was still concerned about Ding Qiang's safety.

An Ying'er felt mixed emotions. Faced with Liu Yin's worries, she could only sigh helplessly and silently wished that everything would get better.

Xiao Zhixue responded coldly: "Don't worry, he won't be in danger and will wake up soon. You don't have to worry too much."

Liu Yin nodded gently. Although she did not have deep feelings for Ding Qiang, she knew very well that if anything happened to Ding Qiang, it might implicate An Ying'er and Xiao Zhixue.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhixue gave a positive answer, and Liu Yin felt slightly relieved.

After passing through several narrow and dark alleys, the group finally arrived at Liu Yin's simple and dilapidated home.

The two ramshackle thatched houses seem particularly fragile in the wind and rain. This is the entire world of Liu Yin and Xiaojun.

When I opened the door, a strange smell mixed with dampness and mildew hit me in the face. In the dim and narrow space, the air was almost frozen.

Liu Yin led the two to the inner room and pointed at the thin figure on the bed. Her voice choked again: "My two benefactors, that is my child, Xiaojun."

Xiao Zhixue's gaze was gentle and deep, falling on Ding Xiaojun who was lying on the simple bed.

Xiaojun was so thin that his bones were visible, his face was sallow, his eye sockets were sunken, and his unusually large head looked out of place on his thin body. He looked like a disproportionate big-headed doll, which made people feel pity for him.

Xiao Zhixue stepped forward, gently placed her hands on Xiaojun's thin wrist, and with her superb medical skills, she quickly diagnosed Xiaojun's congenital heart disease and the various complications caused by long-term mental depression, which greatly increased the difficulty of treatment.

Xiaojun seemed to sense someone approaching, and he struggled to open his heavy eyelids. When he saw his mother, the corners of his cracked lips twitched slightly, and he used all his strength to weakly call out, "Mom..."

Liu Yin touched Xiaojun's forehead distressedly and comforted him in the most gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, this young master is here to treat our Xiaojun."

Although she said such comforting words, the tension and anxiety in her heart surged like the tide.

Xiaojun stared at Xiao Zhixue blankly, letting her take his pulse. His little body did not move, his eyes full of confusion and helplessness.

Xiao Zhixue let go of Xiaojun's hand and frowned. That expression made Liu Yin's heart seem to be tightly gripped, and an ominous premonition arose spontaneously.

Could it be that this young man with great medical skills is also helpless against Xiaojun's illness?

Just as Liu Yin's hope was about to die, Xiao Zhixue seemed to return to reality from some profound thoughts. She said to Liu Yin with a firm look, "I have a way to cure your child's disease, but you can't stay here during the treatment."

Liu Yin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

For Xiaojun, she could endure any pain of separation, so she nodded firmly, her tone full of trust: "As long as you can save my son from suffering, no matter what the conditions are, I am willing to accept it."

Xiao Zhixue waved her hand gently, signaling Liu Yin and An Ying'er to wait outside for a while.

Liu Yin looked back at Xiaojun with reluctance, and that look contained all the love and worry a mother has for her child.

The moment he turned around and left, Ding Xiaojun's eyes followed his mother's figure, and an inexplicable fear spread in his heart.

He was puzzled by this sudden stranger and didn't understand why his mother trusted Xiao Zhixue so much.

He tried to call out to his empress, but his voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, like the breeze blowing through the treetops, and it did not reach Liu Yin's ears at all.

After An Ying'er left the room, Xiao Zhixue noticed the subtle fear on Ding Xiaojun's face.

She showed a warm smile and comforted him in the softest voice possible: "Xiaojun, don't be afraid. I am the doctor that the queen has sent to help you. Come, eat a sweet candy and have a good sleep. When you wake up, you will find that all your illnesses have disappeared."

Innocent children are always easily attracted by the temptation of candy. Hearing this, Ding Xiaojun's previous fear instantly melted away.

Xiao Zhixue carefully handed him a special pill wrapped in sugar. This pill contained a small amount of precious spiritual spring water, which could cure diseases and was harmless to Xiaojun.
