1325 I Only Want You 23 (1/2)

She could not tolerate how haughty and obnoxious the woman was.

An Xiaoning reiterated, ”I'm asking you once more. Why did you have to do that to her? She's still so young. What grave mistake did she commit to warrant such a severe beating from you? You can't possibly hit her for no reason.”

The woman ignored her and began swinging her rod at An Xiaoning, catching the latter off guard. An Xiaoning did not expect that she would actually try and hit her.

She quickly grabbed the other end of the rod and snatched it away effortlessly before throwing it into a ditch behind the tree.

”You…”

An Xiaoning walked toward the girl and moved her hair away from her face. She knew that the girl was still conscious because she had seen her raising her head to look at her just now.

'”Are you alright?”

An Xiaoning was slightly stunned the moment she saw the girl's appearance. She had a beautiful pair of eyes and a matching set of nose and lips. In fact, she was stunningly gorgeous, despite the bloodstains on her face. Although she appeared extremely disheveled, An Xiaoning could tell that she was not a villager at all and felt that she exuded a natural posh aura.

The wounds all over her body were evidence of her unfavorable predicament.

A gentle tenderness formed in the girl's eyes, and she mouthed some words with her lips: ”Save me.”

An Xiaoning stared at her and left without uttering another word.

Disappointment was written all over the girl's face and she had long become immobile. She had tried to escape several times before, but she never once succeeded.

Seeing that An Xiaoning had already left, the middle-aged woman closed the door and humphed. She then untied the rope wrapped around the girl to release her from the tree before dragging her into the house forcefully.

The girl was overwhelmed with the stinging pain from her raw wounds. It was so unbearable that she wished she could die.

She was then thrown into the lamb fence where she lay motionlessly on a pile of lamb feces.

The same thing happened to her every day. Ever since she was young, she had never lived a day in peace.

She had no idea why she was being treated that way either.

The rain continued to pour heavily.

The girl started to hear some sounds.

She struggled to sit up and finally managed to do so after expending all her energy.

In the darkness of the night, a figure descended slowly from the rooftop. The girl took a closer look to discover that it was An Xiaoning.

She thought that An Xiaoning wouldn't rescue her since she simply returned to her house just now.

She did not expect An Xiaoning's arrival at all.

The girl said softly, ”I'm here.”

As soon as An Xiaoning stepped foot onto the ground, the lambs began bleating. After sedating the dogs, she still had to deal with these creatures.

However, they stopped bleating after the girl murmured something.

It would be a piece of cake for An Xiaoning to carry an immobile person away. However, the stench was far too intolerable.

An Xiaoning left brazenly through the main entrance. She had even pried the fences open so as to make it seem as if the girl had climbed away on her own.

An Xiaoning brought the girl back to her room and helped to undress her. She then placed the dirty clothes into a large trash bag, which she planned to dispose of later.

The girl emitted an unbearable pungent stench that was mixed with the metallic odor of blood. It was as if she had never showered before. An Xiaoning could barely stand being around her. Hence, she instructed Fan Shixin to collect some water from the tap, which she then used to bathe the girl with.

The water should be safe for use for a bath.

The girl had never been cared for in such a manner before. No one had ever bathed her, washed her hair, or put her clothes on for her. She felt extremely touched that a stranger would show her so much kindness.

An Xiaoning took out a set of her own clothes and put them onto the girl. She then grabbed a towel to wipe the girl's hair dry before tying it back into a ponytail.
