Gao Zhang-shi pulled up the poor child and went to her own home in the east of the river. In the meditation hall that had been transformed from a firewood shed, Gao Zhang-shi looked at her arms, which had almost no intact skin and were badly mutilated. She asked with heartache,"Bitter child, does it hurt?"
Bitter Child didn't say anything and just shook his head.
Mrs. Gao began to apply the medicine on Ku Wa. Although Ku Wa did not cry, laugh, or make a sound during the process of applying the medicine, he did not say anything. However, when Gao Zhang-shi saw Ku Wa's tightly furrowed brows, she knew that Ku Wa was in pain, and it was very painful.
After looking at Ku Wa's arm, Gao Zhang-shi lifted his clothes and looked at Ku Wa's fine skin, but his body was covered in scars. She said with heartache,"Bitter child, how many times have I told you? If they hit you again in the future, run to me, understand?”
The bitter child still didn't say anything, but nodded stubbornly.
"Tell me, bitter child, have you eaten yet?" Mrs. Gao asked again.”
The bitter child still didn't say anything and just shook his head.
Mrs. Gao went to the kitchen and said to Gao Dajiang,""Dajiang, Bitter Child hasn't eaten yet. Prepare a bowl of noodles for the child.”
When Gao Dajiang heard that it was a bowl of noodles for a poor child, he asked Gao Zhangshi,"Old Madam, should we put some meat on the poor child? Didn't you say so just now? Ku Wa is still growing!"
Gao Zhang-shi smiled and said,""I know that you all feel sorry for the poor children. You can do whatever you want! How delicious it was, how to cook it. She had to let the child eat more.”
When the noodles were ready, Gao Dajiang brought it to Gao Zhang-shi's meditation hall. The bitter child still did not say anything, but first brought the noodles to Gao Zhang-shi.
It was only then that the bitter child said the first thing he had said since he woke up this morning. "Auntie, you eat first!"
"Ku Wa, eat first. I have nothing to do." After the Ku Wa ate it, they still have to work!"
The bitter child finished the noodles and said to Gao Zhangshi,"Auntie, I have to go to work. Otherwise, they will find trouble to beat me up again.”
Gao Zhang-shi watched Ku Wa leave her room, but she didn't forget to remind Ku Wa,"If they hit you again, run to me."”
The bitter child came to the kitchen and said to Gao Dajiang,""Uncle Dajiang, I have to go to work in the western courtyard. When I come back tonight, I'll look for you and Grandpa and Grandma.”
It was already summer, and the children who had just been beaten had no choice but to carry the pain and do some physical work.
Because in the Second Senior Master's residence, there were not only Water Deity but also people like Gao Yainai. The only reason why Second Senior Master could dominate the village was that Gao Zhang-shi could only speak up for the poor children when he had to stand up for them. That was because Gao Zhang-shi had her own difficulties.
That was because Baldy Gao and Zhao Fenghua were still in the residence.
The bitter child had just arrived at the home that was supposed to belong to her on the west side of the river. As soon as she revealed her head, she saw Water Deity immediately commanding Baldy Gao, Zhao Fenghua, and her husband." Quick, shut her mouth. Hang her from a tree and beat her."”
No matter how much a seven or eight-year-old child resisted, he would not be able to withstand the torment of two powerful adults. Moreover, the bitter child did not resist at all.
The two evil slaves hung the Ku Wa from the walnut tree in the yard and used a rope dipped in water to whip the swaying Ku Wa in the air.
At the beginning, as the rope was pulled down, blood seeped out of Ku Wa's clothes. However, after a long time, the clothes on Ku Wa's body had already been taken away by the hemp rope that kept hitting his body. Therefore, it was impossible to tell whether it was blood or blood.
Blood dripped from the bitter child's body to the walnut tree.
When it dripped onto the ground, it turned from red to black and red. It then seeped into the ground and became black spots.
Ku Wa, who was hanging on the tree, had already fainted. However, from the beginning to the end, he did not hear Ku Wa groan.
Ku Wa, who was hanging on the tree and unconscious, was like a leaf that was drifting in the wind. There were no moans or cries.，There was only the sound of blood dripping on the ground.
This scene happened to be seen by Grandpa Wei, who was passing by to deliver fertilizer to the fields.
Grandpa Wei knew that in the current Gao Manor, his words carried little weight and he no longer had the ability to protect Ku Wa. If he wanted to free Ku Wa from his current predicament, only the old madam, the Gao Zhang family, could do it.
Therefore, Grandpa Wei ran back to the residence in the east of the river and told the old lady everything.
Gao Zhang-shi was still holding the wooden fish as she followed Grandpa Wei to the Gao Manor on the west side of the river. However, there was a pair of scissors in Gao Zhang-shi's hand.
Gao Dajiang was in the kitchen of the Gao Mansion in the east of the river. When he saw that Grandpa Wei had called Gao Zhang-shi away in a hurry, he knew that something must have happened to the bitter child again. Therefore, he carried a kitchen knife in his arms and ran to the Gao Manor on the west side of the river.
In the courtyard of the West River Gao Manor, when Gao Zhang-shi saw the badly mutilated child hanging from the tree, her eyes went black and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Grandpa Wei held her up.
Coincidentally, Gao Dajiang had also arrived at this time.
"Don't worry about me for now," Gao Zhang-shi said."Quickly put Ku Wa down."”
Gao Dajiang came to the tree and without a word, he took an orange and stood on it. He hugged the bitter child with one hand and took out a kitchen knife from his waist with the other and cut the rope.
Gao Zhang-shi, who had not fully recovered from the dizziness, sat on the ground and held the bitter child in her arms. He shook the bitter child." Bitter child, wake up. Bitter child, wake up. Bitter child, can you open your eyes for me and look at me?”Gao Zhang-shi's heart ached so much that she almost wailed.
Under Gao Zhang-shi's shaking, Ku Wa finally opened his eyes slowly, as if he was afraid that opening his eyes too quickly would scare Gao Zhang-shi.
Seeing the bitter child open her eyes, Gao Zhangshi asked,"Bitter child, does it hurt? If it hurts, cry it out."
Ku Wa didn't act like before. He just shook his head and nodded. This time, he said," It hurts." But Ku Wa didn't cry. Ku Wa was afraid that his aunt would feel uncomfortable.”
