I turned to look at the woods, revealing a faint smile. "My friend!"
She seemed to notice us looking at her, and quickly hid her head.
I walked to the door and pretended to knock on it.
"Knock! Knock! Knock! Can I come in?" I whispered with my head down.
Seeing that she didn't speak, I had to stick my head out, and as soon as I did, I met those beautiful amber eyes.
"Linzi! Aren't you going to eat? Why aren't you going in?" I looked at her gentle and elegant eyes.
"Is she a bad person?" She pointed at the door and whispered, her two big eyes blinking unexpectedly, breaking into my heart.
"Phew!" I chuckled. If Aunty Zhang heard this, she would definitely nag about it in Linzi's ear every day.
"Don't worry! After coming here... no one will bully you again." I couldn't help but reach out my hand. Seeing that she didn't move away, I dared to gently place it on her head, lightly patting her. She lowered her head, looking thoughtful.
"Okay! Let's go in!" I reached out to hold her hand, but she withdrew it just as it was about to reach mine.
"It's okay, Linzi, just come as you please. Okay?" I looked into her eyes and said gently, but at this moment, my heart had already sunk to the bottom of the valley. This Linzi was completely different from the one I had seen before.
I was walking ahead, and she obediently followed me, but Aunty Zhang secretly pulled me aside.
"Xi Chen! Don't lie to me, she's not your friend, right? You usually only take in those poor children. How come you brought a woman back today?" Aunty Zhang whispered.
"Aunty Zhang, she really is my friend. You haven't been in the village for many years, so you don't know her," I explained while looking in the direction of the woods. She lowered her head and occasionally stole a glance at us, like a guilty child.
"Even if you know her, it's not good to bring her home. She looks like she has some problems in her head. Are her family members married?" Aunty Zhang tried to persuade me, but seeing my increasingly bad expression, she hurriedly explained.
"Xi Chen, don't blame Aunty Zhang for speaking harshly. I haven't read many books, so I'm not good at speaking. I just see the girl looking silly. You're already at this age, and being alone with a man..." Aunty Zhang hesitated, looking at me.
"I know Aunty Zhang is doing it for my good. Don't worry! I'll take her to the orphanage later, but I'll need your help... to give her a bath." I said, feeling a bit embarrassed with my head down.
"Alright, don't worry. You go eat first! I'll take her there." Aunty Zhang said with a knowing smile.
Aunty Zhang walked towards Linzi, who was scared and kept backing away. Aunty Zhang quickly caught up and grabbed her hand, leading her upstairs.
Linzi looked at me with teary eyes, and the way she carried herself suddenly made me feel like I was involved in child trafficking.
"Don't move!" Aunty Zhang said sternly as she rubbed Linzi's back.
She looked at the wounds on Linzi's body, but her grip softened slightly.
"Are you married?" Aunty Zhang asked cautiously.
Linzi didn't say anything, just absentmindedly fiddling with his fingers. Aunty Zhang, seeing this, asked again, "Do you like Xi Chen?"
How can such a nice girl be mute? Aunty Zhang Looking at the injuries on Linzi's body, the more I look, the more my heart aches. I'll have to clean her up and apply some medicine to help her heal faster.
I don't know what this girl has been through. She looks about the same age as my daughter, Juansi. How could she have so many injuries on her body? Her parents must be heartbroken when they see this.
