Lovely Substitute Bride

It was hard to say if it was hope or if there was some sort of bond between mother and daughter, Luan Zhi was just insisting that everything was fine!    

    

Maybe he had fallen asleep somewhere!    

    

On the table in front of the two, the captain had specially ordered someone to prepare a banquet. Although it was exquisite, it had not been touched. It was still placed on the plate until it turned cold!    

    

On the other side, inside the small storage room, numerous precious treasures were placed inside the medicine box.    

    

"Uncle Tom, look, I found this in a room!" "You see what kind of medicine you should take."    

    

Tom was already sweating profusely from the pain. Having lost too much blood left him with no strength to speak. He forced his head to take a look and pointed at the disinfectant, saying:    

    

"Wash my wounds with this first. "Then you can apply the powder, and finally wrap the gauze around yourself."    

    

After saying that, he had used up all his energy.    

    

Duo Duo hastily recited in a low voice:    

    

"Wash your wounds first, then apply the medicine. Finally, wrap them with gauze."    

    

The little hand took out the bottle of disinfectant, opened the lid, and poured it over Tom's wound.    

    

"Humph!"    

    

Tom groaned in pain!    

    

Duo Duo quickly apologized:    

    

"I'm sorry, Uncle Tom, I'm sorry!"    

    

Actually, it wasn't her fault, this type of disinfectant was like this. Upon coming into contact with an open wound, it would burn like fire, killing the bacteria.    

    

Next, Duo Duo's movements became much lighter.    

    

After seeing that the entire bottle of disinfectant had been poured over to wash the wound, the bottle became empty. Only then did he stop his hand and pick up another box of powder.    

    

The powder was yellow. He scooped up a spoonful of the powder with a plastic spoon and shook it slowly on Tom's wound. He exhaled into the wound, trying to ease Tom's pain!    

    

Although there was no substantial effect, he could only blow away the powder that had yet to touch the wound, causing a plume of smoke to rise into the air. However, this cautious action of Duo Duo brought about a huge psychological comfort!    

    

Tom suddenly felt that it didn't hurt that much anymore!    

    

When Tom saw that the powder was almost used up, he stopped her.    

    

Duo Duo was not done yet.    

    

"Uncle Tom, I still have more than half a bottle of useless powder!"    

    

She thought that Uncle Tom's illness would only recover faster if she ate all the medicine!    

    

Tom smiled weakly.    

    

"No problem, that's enough! "Give me a simple bandage with the gauze."    

    

White gauze cleverly swapped between the small hands, finally wrapping up all the wounds!    

    

Although the method of wrapping seemed unprofessional and the gauze strips were not neat, the final bow made Tom's heart soften.    

    

Finally, it was over. Duo Duo was also exhausted to the point of perspiration!    

    

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Duo Duo smiled at Tom and said:    

    

"Uncle Shuang, are you hungry?" "This is the steamed bun I got from the kitchen just now. I think other people must have had a good time eating it. It must be delicious!"    

    

With that, he stuffed two steamed buns into Tom's hands.    

    

He held a steamed bun and slowly gnawed on it.    

    

"Yes, it's really delicious!"    

    

Tom ate the steamed bun in his hand. Looking at the six or seven year old flowers, he suddenly felt that not all children were so annoying! For example, this Xiao Duoduo in front of him, or that little fellow!    

    

The steamed bun was a bit dry and astringent. After eating half of it, it was unable to swallow!    

    

Tom saw Duo Duo holding the steamed bun in her hand, feeling troubled. Eat, really can't eat, eat. Her stomach was again hungry, causing her little face to wrinkle!    

    

"This one is drinkable!"    

    

Tom caught sight of a small bottle of distilled water in the medicine cabinet and handed it to her.    

    

Duo Duo blinked her eyes:    

    

"Duo Duo isn't sick, let Uncle Tom drink this!"    

    

She had classified the distilled water as a drug.    

    

Tom opened the bottle cap and took a sip. Then he handed it to her and said:    

    

"Xiao Duoduo, this is pure water, you can drink it even if you aren't sick. Look, I drank it too! "    

    

It was only then that Duo Duo took a sip in disbelief. The taste was slightly different from the water she drank at home!    

    

Her family's drinking water was specially produced by a production company. It was made from expensive advanced mineral water. It was naturally different from distilled water that contained no impurities.    

    

The two of them used the water to eat all the steamed buns!    

    

Toot ate only one and didn't, watching Tom nibble on it.    

    

Tom handed her some.    

    

Duo Duo shook her head.    

    

"Give this to Uncle Tom!" Duo Duo was a child, so she ate less! Uncle is a patient, only by eating more will he get better quickly! "    

    

Although a steamed bun was not enough for her, it was still 70% full. She was no longer as unbearably hungry as before!    

    

When they were done, Dodo sat down next to Tom and whispered. Tom ate two steamed buns, bandaged his wounds, and recovered some strength.    

    

"Uncle Tom, which bad guy hurt you?"    

    

Tom's guard was lowered after taking care of her for so long.    

    

"Xiao Duoduo, how do you know I'm not a bad person?"    

    

Duo Duo pouted:    

    

"I just know. Uncle Shuang is not a bad guy! "    

    

"Then if Uncle went to beat up a good person and they injured him, would Uncle still be a good person?"    

    

Duo Duo did not hesitate:    

    

"Uncle Tom, those are all bad people you have to beat! He wouldn't be a good person! Anyway, Duo Duo believed Uncle Tom was a good person! It was all the bad guys who hurt Uncle. "    

    

Tom chuckled.    

    

"Actually, uncle is going to kill a big bad guy! That bad guy always wants people to fight, and then he can make a lot of money! So Uncle killed him! "    

    

"Uncle, what is killing?"    

    

This was the first time she had heard this word. She did not understand its meaning, but she felt that it was not a good word!    

    

Tom was stunned, he did not expect to one day have to explain to a child what was "killing"!    

    

"Just make sure he won't wake up again and can't do anything bad!"    

    

Tom tried to express himself in a way that he could understand.    

    

Sure enough, Duo Duo nodded!    

    

"Well, Duo Duo knows, that bad guy can't be broken, right?"    

    

Tom sighed inwardly. Although he was right, why did it feel so awkward? As if he were a big gray wolf trying to trick Little Red Riding Hood.    

    

"Right."    

    

"Uncle Tom, are you still in pain?"    

    

Duo Duo could no longer keep her eyes open, but she still forced herself to try and talk to Tom.    

    

In the old days, when she was home, Mommy would tell her stories and coax her to sleep every day before going to bed, so now, too, she thought she should talk to Tom.    

    

"It doesn't hurt anymore!" Duo Duo is wrapped really well, it doesn't hurt at all! "    

    

"Un, that's great! Uncle Tom, can you tell me about Qing? "Duo Duo really wants to know …"    

    

Tom was embarrassed and did not answer for a long time.    

    

Lowering his head to look, he realized that Duo Duo had already closed her eyes and fallen asleep. Her head was resting on his arm, breathing evenly and sleeping soundly.    

    

Tom was afraid that she might catch a cold, so he took off his coat and covered her with it.    

    

Duo Duo rubbed her small head in a more comfortable manner. Her small mouth wiggled as she muttered:    

    

"Qing …"    

    

Tom sighed.    

    

"Sigh, what a shame! Being able to make a little girl unable to let you go even in her dreams, little fellow, you truly are capable! "    

    

According to his understanding, Duo Duo had already missed Ji Yuqing's picture for him. She took care of him because of him!    

    

It looked like he had really gotten lucky this time!    

    

Duo Duo who was in a deep sleep had fallen into a beautiful dream! In her dream, she saw a beautiful little boy walking towards her.    

    

Duo Duo asked:    

    

"Who are you?"    

    

The little boy said with a smile:    

    

"I'm your Qing!"    

    

However, it was as if Duo Duo didn't know him at all as she sized him up.    

    

The little boy smiled, didn't mind, and took her little hand and sang and danced.    

    

The two of them had a great time!    

    

If this wasn't a dream, how nice would it be!    

    

Although Duo Duo's family was quite generous, she had never had any siblings to accompany her. Even though Luan Zhi and Min Ann'ge both loved and cared for her, they still sometimes felt lonely and envious of her!    

    

When Duo Duo woke up, it was already dawn of the second day. The alley outside the door was somewhat noisy. It seemed like there were a lot of people busy outside!    

    

Blinking her big, misty eyes, Duo Duo sat up, and her coat slipped off. She recognized that this was Tom's clothes!    

    

Beside him, Tom was leaning against the storage room door with his eyes closed, still sleeping soundly!    

    

Duo Duo put the coat back on Tom's body and covered it. Her small hand touched his forehead. Smiling!    

    

A sense of accomplishment rose involuntarily!
