The front door and courtyard gate were guarded. Yu Yi led them out through the back door, picking up a few pieces of clothing from the laundry room for them to wear. They walked along the back wall of the house to the side courtyard wall, which was unguarded. Yu Yi climbed the wall first and saw a small alley outside, empty in the deep night.
Seeing the one-eyed child was only injured in the legs and tall, she helped him climb the wall first, letting him straddle the top. Then she passed the severely injured child to him to hold.
She then carried the other two children over the wall, with the slightly older girl taking the severely injured child from the one-eyed child.
She reached out to the one-eyed child, indicating she would help him down. He shook his head, struggling with the iron cage mask. He pointed to the other side of the wall, wanting Yu Yi to carry out the last child before he would come down.
At that moment, Yu Yi’s eyes welled up. She nodded, carried out the last child, and then reached out her arms to the one-eyed child on the wall.
The on-duty nurse gasped when she saw Yu Yi bring in several blood-covered children. She quickly ran from behind the desk, guiding Yu Yi to the emergency room as she carefully carried the children.
After examining the children’s injuries, Dr. Zheng was furious. He asked Yu Yi, “Who was so cruel as to harm them? I’m calling the police!”
Yu Yi frowned and shook her head: “Dr. Zheng, the people who harmed them have deep influence here. Calling the police would be useless and might endanger these children. Please treat them. I only have this much money now, please take it. I’ll bring full payment in a few days.”
Dr. Zheng, seeing Yu Yi’s maid outfit and a handful of copper coins, raised his hand to refuse: “Miss, don’t worry about the medical fees.”
Our hospital is subsidized by the church. The children’s medical expenses can be covered by the church.”
Yu Yi nodded: “Dr. Zheng, can they be healed?”
