"Hey! You stinky girl! Stop right there!" The situation here didn't seem too good. There were dilapidated houses, collapsed brick walls, and pedestrians dressed in simple and patched clothes. No matter how you looked at it, it felt like we had come to a slum. Moreover, I seemed to hear a few noises.
We stopped in unison and turned to look at a small alley on the side. We saw a little girl with ragged clothes and messy hair stumbling towards us. Behind her, a tall middle-aged man was holding a wooden stick in his hand and chasing after her while cursing.
The alleyway was filled with rubbish, emitting a foul smell. She heard the man's cursing behind her. The little girl screamed in fear and quickened her pace. However, she did not expect to trip over a stone and stumble forward.
Bang! The little girl suddenly fell to the ground and her body fell into a pile of trash. The trash covered her body, but when she wanted to get up, the man had already caught up with her with a wooden stick. He had a fierce expression on his face."Stinky girl! How many things have you stolen from us this month? What? If I don't teach you a lesson today, you'll really be lawless!”
A trace of panic flashed across the little girl's face, and then she revealed a pitiful expression and begged,"Uncle, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I won't dare to do it again! Please spare me!"
"Hey, you want a next time? No, I must teach you a lesson today! Otherwise, you won't learn your lesson!" The man hesitated for a moment before he hardened his heart and swung the wooden stick at her thin body.
Ah! The little girl screamed and fell to the ground, clutching her shoulder. The wooden stick on her back fell mercilessly, and the man's cursing continued.
When Zilai Ye saw this, he frowned slightly. Just as he was about to go forward, he realized that my figure had already left. It was as if he didn't see the scene here. His brows furrowed even more tightly as he called out to me,"Naruto!"
"What's wrong? Perverted Immortal!" I turned around and looked at him in confusion.
Actually, I've already seen it a long time ago. The reason why I didn't pay attention to it was because such things happened too many times in this world. I didn't have the spare time to care about these things. However, since he had called her, she could only follow his wishes. Otherwise, this good old man will blame me.
Zilai also glanced at his girl. His meaning was obvious: Are you going to leave me in the lurch?
I smiled and shook my head before returning to Zilai Ye's side. However, I didn't step forward to stop the man from beating the girl up. I just watched quietly. Zilai didn't know what I wanted to do and looked at me with confusion. He wanted to step forward to stop me a few times, but after seeing my calm expression, he couldn't help but want to see my actions.
After a while, the girl was knocked unconscious. The man stopped and looked at her hesitantly. After knowing that her life was not in danger, he left. It seemed that this guy was not a crazy person. At least he still had some conscience.
At this moment, I slowly walked over and saw the girl lying on the ground, barely breathing. There were many injuries on her body. Those shocking scars made me sigh.
"This little girl's injuries are quite serious. She needs to be treated first.”Zi Lai also said to me with some blame,"Why did you save her just now? It's not like you to watch her get beaten up!”In fact, this was also a long-standing doubt in his heart. Ever since he woke up, Naruto's personality seemed to have changed greatly!
"Lust Immortal, we can save her for a while, but we can't save her forever. If we save her this time, she will definitely be hated by that person. After we leave, she will face even more cruel problems!”I explained meaningfully, but in my heart, I really didn't want to care. I couldn't help but laugh at myself. I'm really hypocritical!
"Oh! So it was like this! You brat, you're really something!" Zi Lai also seemed to have been fooled by me. He gave me a thumbs up and then frowned."But she's injured like this now. We have to send her to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible!”
"Come, Naruto, carry her up, let's go!”Zilai also called out and took the lead to walk forward.
I responded and carried the little girl.
Zilai and I finally found a place that looked like a hospital. It was at the end of the east stretch of the street. I felt that the hospital was still clean and tidy, not as messy as the places we had just walked along. There seemed to be only one street here, and the alleyway on the side of the main street was a residential area.
Other than the hospital, the rest of the place was filled with decadence, filth, and a hint of darkness. One could imagine how difficult it was to survive in such a place. No wonder the little girl on my back wanted to steal from others.
As soon as I stepped into the hospital, I heard the girl on my back groan in pain and suddenly woke up. She opened her eyes slightly and saw a patch of golden hair. She could not help but be stunned.
"You're awake!" I smiled slightly,"You were knocked unconscious just now!"”
"Who are you? Why am I here?" The girl thought for a moment and said,"Did I get knocked out just now?"”
"Yeah, we saved you! Little girl!" The wretched face of Zilai Ye had already appeared beside me. He was showing a kind expression to the little girl. The girl was stunned for a moment before she suddenly reacted and hurriedly thanked him."Thank you for saving me, thank you!”
"Haha, you're welcome, little girl. This is what we should do! How could we not save you when we saw you being knocked unconscious?”said Zilai with a smile.
At this moment, a few medical staff ran out of the hospital. We handed the little girl on my back to them for treatment while we waited at the side. As the little girl was injured by a wooden stick, after checking for a while, they found that there was no fracture, so they applied some medicine on her back and handed her over to us. Zirai also said that he wanted to find out more about this place, so he asked us to stay in this hospital for a while.
I helped the little girl to sit on an old chair in the hospital hall. She had her head lowered, her face was dirty, and her hair was emitting a sour smell. I couldn't help but sigh. In my previous life, such a little girl should still be in school, right? "What's your name?" I realized that I still didn't know her name, so I asked.
