miled and nodded, "Yes, my son rarely made a request of me, so I naturally wouldn't refuse. It's just that this time too few disciples passed the test, and several of us elders might not be enough to...Father!
Qin Luo'yan found it utterly ridiculous. Both Xiao Fan and Wu Yi were orphans, so where did they come from a father! This supposed father was most likely someone sent by Yun Tianxi to control Xiao Fan!
She clenched her fists, her knuckles trembling with anger. Her cold gaze fell upon the screen, and the old man behind it raised his brush again, seeming to wield it with even more force than before.
Qin Luoyan could no longer bear it and threw down the ceremonial bucket before dashing behind the screen...
Although she had mentally prepared herself, the moment she saw the painting on the screen, her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Behind the screen, it was indeed Xiao Fan. The once vigorous young man now had dull eyes, sunken cheeks, and a gaunt frame that seemed devoid of life, like dry firewood. He lay limply in a tub, propped against its edge. In the winter, the water offered no warmth at all, and objects resembling feces floated on the surface.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Qin Luoyan would never have believed that the man before her was the senior brother who used to laugh heartily at her.
Her nose tingled with the prickle of tears, but before they could fall, the old man's raised hand descended, landing a slap on Xiao Fan's face with no hesitation whatsoever.
Xiao Fan seemed oblivious, only a single drop of sweat trickling down his corner of the mouth. His eyes remained as placid as water, showing no sign of disturbance.
"What are you doing here!" The elder shouted at Qin Luoyan after beating Xiao Fan.
"I…" Qin Luoyan only felt a dryness in her throat that was unbearable. With great difficulty, she managed to suppress the metallic taste of blood in her throat and choked out, "I thought you needed help, so I came in without permission."
"Help" The old man was taken aback. He looked at the bucket full of feces and wrinkled his face in disgust. He spat and said, "Fine, if you're willing to clean it up, just get on with it. Don't worry, you'll be rewarded handsomely later."
The old man saw Qin Luoyan as a servant trying to please his master, so his attitude softened slightly. He immediately retreated behind the screen and kept telling Qin Luoyan to be quick.
Lao Liu was bewildered, following him behind the screen. Upon seeing the scene beyond, he couldn't help but retch violently. He grabbed Qin Luoyan's hand and whispered, "Brother Qin, you didn't have to go this far..."
Qin Luo'yan shook her head. "It's nothing, I admire Master Xiao's skills. He is a hero in my heart, so I am willing to do these things."
She stubbornly wrenched her hand free from Old Liu's grasp, desperately masking her emotions, only managing to force a faint smile as she said to Old Liu, "Old Liu, could you please bring in a few buckets of hot water"
Lao Liu saw that she was so determined, he could only sigh and turn to leave behind the screen.
After everyone left the screen, Qin Luoyan couldn't hold back her tears anymore. She lowered her head and cried softly. She raised her hand to touch Xiao Fan's cheek and whispered: "Brother Shixiong, Brother Shixiong, it's me, Luoyan. Do you remember It's me, Luoyan. If you still have a sliver of consciousness, look at me, look at me..."
Perhaps the two words "Luo Yan" elicited a slight reaction from Xiao Fan. He turned his head blankly, looking at Qin Luo Yan, but his eyes were still frighteningly gray and white. In an instant, even the gray and white disappeared completely, replaced by a stagnant pool of water.
Seeing Xiao Fan like this, Qin Luo Yan cried even more uncontrollably. If she had known Xiao Fan would become like this, no matter what, even if it meant sacrificing her own life, she would never have agreed to Xiao Fan's self-sacrifice.
“Senior brother, senior brother, please, don’t do this, okay It’s me, Luo Yan. You have to remember me, you have to become the senior brother who used to smile at me… If you keep going like this, how will I possibly live my life…” Qin Luo Yan sobbed, her voice choked with tears. All she received in return was Xiao Fan's blank and unmoving expression.
Footsteps sounded outside the door, Qin Luoyan was startled and quickly lifted her sleeve to wipe away her tears.
Old Liu carried in two buckets of hot water, grumbling as he went: “He claims to be Xiao Jia’s father, but look how he mistreats her! Seeing her like this, he hides away. Thankfully we stumbled upon this situation and you're here to help clean up for her. Who knows what she would have endured otherwise…”
Lao Liu had always been a kind person. Seeing the scene, he couldn't bear it and muttered to himself. He didn't know that his muttering stirred up a deep sense of guilt in Qin Luo Yan's heart.
Qin Luo Yan bit her lower lip, and together with Lao Liu, first helped Xiao Fan up, then used hot water to wash his body. In Lao Liu's eyes, Qin Luo Yan was also a man, and Xiao Jia was also a man, so even though they were so honest with each other, there wasn't anything wrong.
In Qin Luoyan's heart, the person before her wasn't a man, but her dearest and most beloved senior brother, one who had once willingly sacrificed himself to save her and Wu Yi. Now that he was in this state, how could she possibly let him go on like this because of the difference between men and women
Besides Fu ZiMo, she had never cleaned for a man like this before. Her heart was cold and indifferent. She held the cotton cloth and cleaned the dirt on his body, wiping every inch of him, but her heart was frighteningly quiet. Besides pity and heartache, there were no other thoughts.
In her mind, there was only one thought: those who had hurt Xiao Fan, she, Qin Luoyan, would not let any of them go! Even if it meant she had to go to hell and be reborn forever, she would avenge Xiao Fan, avenge her master!
After dressing Xiao Fan, Qin Luo Yan also combed his hair. Looking at the man before her who seemed so familiar, she couldn't help but sigh again.
"Are you done" The elder waited for a long time and didn't see the two come out, so he walked into the room to take a look. Seeing Xiao Fan sitting beside the bed, clean and tidy, he was stunned, "Not bad, you guys did a good job cleaning up."
The elder spoke, taking out a few silver coins from his bosom and tossing them into Qin Luoyan's hands. "Here you go, take it. You did a good job. I am not the kind of person who cheats others."
This statement made Qin Luoyan find it even more ridiculous. A beast who didn't treat Xiao Fan as a human, also had the qualification to say this
Lao Liu saw that she was still stunned, so he quickly tugged at her arm. Only then did she put away her resentment and put on a smile, "Then thank Elder Xiao for his gift. Elder Xiao, if you have this kind of good job in the future, just call me."
“You’re actually competing for this kind of job” The elder gave him a disdainful glance and scoffed, “Well, if you’re willing to do it, that’s fine. There are always jobs like this. From now on, you can just come every night.”
Although he had been warned that these things should not be known by too many people, after working as a **-scooper for so long, he finally met someone who volunteered to take his place. He really didn't want to refuse. At worst, he would just be more careful and make sure the person above didn't know about it.
