Chapter 444: Jackal (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Steamed Bun Liu hurriedly took off his clothes and wrapped them around his daughter. He touched his daughter, who was only left with a handful of bones, and tears fell like rain. He choked and coaxed, “Be good, don’t cry. I’ll bring you out now.”

Liu Yulian pulled her father and slowly calmed down. She looked at Father Liu and sobbed. “Father, Ling’er was taken away by him. Help me find my Ling’er, my Ling’er…”

“I’ll go find her immediately.” Looking at his dying daughter, Steamed Bun Liu comforted her with tears streaming down his face. He asked her to sit down and wanted to help her untie the chains on her feet. Only then did he realize that Liu Yulian’s ankles were chained in iron rings. There was also an iron lock hanging from the iron rings.

Liu Yulian’s ankles had been worn down by the iron rings, revealing the white bones that were bleeding.

Steamed Bun Liu trembled all over and gritted his teeth. He hated himself for being blind and treating that jackal like sheep, causing his daughter to end up in such a state.

Zhao Cai looked at everything in front of him and felt that He Yuqing was a demon with a human face and a beast heart.

Zhao Cai took a closer look and realized that he could not break the chain with brute force. This way, Liu Yulian’s feet might be completely crippled.

Liu looked at the lock on the iron ring and said to Liu Yulian, “Lian’er, do you know where the key is?”

Liu Yulian shook her head. “Father, I want to find Ling’er, my Ling’er…” Liu Yulian muttered as she looked at the Steamed Bun Liu and fainted.

Steamed Bun Liu hurriedly picked Liu Yulian up and looked at everything in front of him. He roared, “He Yuqing, wretched thief, I’ll kill you…”

Zhao Cai looked at everything in front of him sadly and patted Steamed Bun Liu. “Uncle, it’s more important to get your daughter out first.”

Steamed Bun Liu wiped his tears and wanted to put Liu Yulian on the ground.

“I’ll go get the key from him.”

“I’ll go. I’m fast,” Zhao Cai said and ran out.

When Zhao Cai reached the lobby, everyone looked at him. “How’s it going? Did you find her?”

Zhao Cai nodded and pointed at He Yuqing in disgust. “I found her. She was chained to the cellar by this piece of trash… She doesn’t look crazy to me.”

When everyone heard this, they felt that this was not something a human could do. Looking at He Yuqing lying on the ground, they felt that he was a demon in human skin.

Han San was so angry that he slapped He Yuqing a few times. “B*stard, give me the key.”

He Yuqing woke up from Han San’s beating. He cowered and looked at the angry people. He trembled. “The key was thrown into the well by me.”

“Beast, you’re worse than an animal.” Zhao Cai was so angry that he kicked He Yuqing.

Li Yu said to Zhou Jia, “Let’s go down and see if we can get the chain off the pillar.”

“Master, Madam, I have a way. I’ll go take a look with Brother Cai,” Han San said.

Zhou Jia nodded. “Alright, go! This guy can’t run.”

The two of them agreed in unison. Zhao Cai brought Han San to the cellar. Han San sighed and took out a thin wire from his hair bun. He stabbed it into the lock and fiddled with it for a while before the lock was opened.

“Daughter, I’ll bring you out.” Steamed Bun Liu carried Liu Yulian and felt light-hearted. Tears fell uncontrollably again.

Zhao Cai and Han San supported the Steamed Bun Liu to the ground and saw the thin Liu Yulian. She was probably not old, but her hair was already mixed with gray.

Zhao Cai said to Steamed Bun Liu, “Uncle, we have to find a room to clean Miss

Liu’s injuries first so that my Old Master can treat her.”

Steamed Bun Liu nodded. “Go to the room where the clerk is on night duty.”

“Alright, I’ll call my Old Master and Master.” Zhao Cai turned around and walked towards the hall.

Steamed Bun Liu carried Liu Yulian to the room on the right of the main room. Han San pushed open the door and saw a wooden bed in the room. There was also bedding on the bed. It looked clean.

Han San quickly carried the bedding out and shook it a few times. He carried it back and laid it on the bed. Steamed Bun Liu placed his daughter on the bed.

Liu Yulian woke up and looked at him weakly. “Father, it’s really you. I’m not dreaming, right? Father, please, go find Ling’er quickly. My Linger…” Liu Yulian felt dizzy and closed her eyes.

“Sleep for a while. I’ll go find her now.” Steamed Bun Liu comforted his daughter and turned to look at Han San, begging, “Little brother, please help me open the other rooms and look for my granddaughter.”

“Okay.” Han San agreed readily and walked out of the door. When he saw Zhao Cai bringing Mr. Wen in, he said, “Brother Cai, Old Master, I’ll help Boss Liu find his daughter.”

Mr. Wen nodded and entered the room. It was inconvenient for Zhao Cai to enter. He turned around and went back.

When Steamed Bun Liu saw Mr. Wen, he called out, “Sir…” He choked and couldn’t speak.

Mr. Wen took a look at the wound on Liu Yulian’s leg. After taking her pulse, he

realized that she was already extremely weak. He felt that it was a miracle that she could live until now.

Mr. Wen said to Steamed Bun Liu, “Go get her some soft food first. It’s best if there’s porridge. I’ll write a prescription and get the medicine. Then, I’ll get Jiahe’s wife to clean your daughter’s wound.”

“Okay.” Steamed Bun Liu hurriedly ran to the kitchen. After a while, he returned with a bowl of porridge and carefully fed it to Liu Yulian. Liu Yulian swallowed it in one gulp. After she finished half a bowl of porridge, Mr. Wen stopped Steamed Bun Liu. “Alright, give it to her later, lest her stomach can’t take it. It’s best if you boil some thick rice gruel for her. It’s easy to digest.”

“Yes, sir.” Seeing that his daughter could eat, Steamed Bun Liu felt slightly relieved.

Li Yu walked into the house with a can of strong wine, followed by Zhao Cai, who was carrying a basin of salt water.

Zhao Cai carried the salt water into the room and walked out. Li Yu said to

Steamed Bun Liu, “Uncle, go out for a while. I’ll wash her.”

“Thank you, Madam.” Liu Qian thanked Mr. Wen and followed him out of the room. Seeing that Han San was still opening the door of the last room, he walked over with anticipation and looked at him worriedly.

Li Yu smiled at the thin and weak Liu Yulian and said gently, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll wash your wound. It might be very painful. You have to endure it. When you’re better, you can go see your Ling’er.”

“Yes!” Liu Yulian looked at Li Yu and smiled. “I’m not afraid of pain.”

“I know. You’re very brave.” Li Yu smiled at her and gently untied her tattered clothes. Her body was covered in wounds of all shapes and sizes. There were burns, whip wounds, and pinch wounds. Some were still oozing blood.

Li Yu gently wiped her body clean with salt water. Li Yu realized that Liu Yulian’s eyes were closed and her expression was wooden. She didn’t even make a sound. When she wiped her ankle, she saw the rotten wound on her ankle. Li Yu took a deep breath and stopped the anger in her heart. She said gently to Liu Yulian, “I have to cut off the rotten flesh on your foot. Otherwise, your wound won’t heal easily.”

Liu Yulian opened her eyes and looked at Li Yu. She was no longer able to answer and could only blink..
