Chapter 22: Rescuing Someone, Caught by Feng Sa
“Huh?” The child was startled by the sudden greeting, then looked up, somewhat puzzled, at the unfamiliar young man in front of him. “Wh-what is it?”
“Little one,” Su Mu squatted down, “how did you hurt your arm?”
“…” The vigilance in the child’s eyes was almost overflowing. He took a few steps back quickly and shouted, “Big brother, my home is nearby! Don’t kidnap me, I can eat a lot!”
Su Mu took a bottle of water out of the bag she carried with him. “Big brother isn’t a human trafficker, I just want to show you a magic trick.”
“Magic?!” The child opened his eyes wide, visibly excited.
“Yes.” Su Mu raised her other hand, and a black flower suddenly appeared in her empty palm.
“Wow! That’s amazing!”
“Big brother can not only make flowers appear but can also make the injury on your hand disappear.” With a wave of Su Mu’s hand, the flower vanished into thin air.
“Really?” The child opened his eyes wide.
“Yes.” Su Mu walked closer to him. Under the child’s confused and wary gaze, she poured a little water from the bottle onto the child’s injury.
It was like a truly spectacular, unbelievable magic trick. As the clear water dripped onto the bruise, the bruise gradually faded away, revealing the intact skin beneath.
“Wow!” The child was even more amazed. “It really doesn’t hurt anymore! Big brother, you’re amazing!”
[Congratulations, host. You have collected 1 relief point.] The cold electronic voice appeared.
1 point…
Su Mu squinted. Was that so little?
When would she collect the ten million points?
Was the injury not severe enough?
She asked, “Does anywhere else hurt on your body?”
“No, thank you, big brother!” The child said happily.
“Big brother healed your injury with magic today. It’s our little secret, okay? Don’t tell anyone.”
“Okay!” The child’s clear voice agreed without hesitation.
“Goodbye.”
Su Mu ruffled his hair, stood up, put away the moon water, and prepared to leave.
She had already learned what she wanted to know.
“Witch’s means” probably refers to using things learned along the path of a witch to help others.
Su Mu quickly turned down the street, avoiding the prying eyes of the crowd.
The reason she chose a child as the target of her relief efforts was that she couldn’t let others know that besides Witch Shanshan, someone else also had moon water.
Human nature is greedy. If others found out, they would definitely find ways to inquire where the moon water came from, whether Shanshan would sell it…
And she couldn’t use the identity of Witch Shanshan to test the specific conditions of the relief task. Shanshan’s identity must not easily appear outside the live broadcast unless absolutely necessary.
Su Mu walked to a more secluded street, planning to find a place to take off her wig and change her appearance before taking a taxi home.
However, she didn’t expect that as soon as she turned into the alley, she smelled a strong, pungent scent of blood.
Su Mu’s eyes flickered. Before she could think about what was happening, she saw a person lying in a pool of blood.
A motorcycle had fallen to the ground not far away. The person was covered in blood on one side of their body, their condition unknown.
At first glance, it seemed there had been a hit-and-run accident.
Su Mu quickly approached and assessed the situation.
It was a middle-aged man. His head had hit the ground and was bleeding profusely. His eyes were closed, and he had lost consciousness.
She squatted down and checked his breath. He was still alive.
An idea suddenly came to Su Mu. She looked around. There was no one on the road, and the surrounding area was full of unfinished commercial buildings, with no residents.
She took out the bottle of moon water from her bag, the one she had used a bit of, and poured it directly over the man’s head.
Su Mu had already tested it last night. Pouring the moon water externally resulted in better healing effects, but it couldn’t alleviate mental exhaustion. Drinking it, although less effective for treating injuries, could cleanse all kinds of “negative energy” from the body.
In any case, both methods had their pros and cons, but for Su Mu, who only had this small bottle of moon water with her, directly treating the man’s fatal injury was the most important thing.
…Even though, for such a severe injury, relying solely on moon water, whether taken internally or applied externally, wouldn’t be enough to heal it completely.
However, any healing was better than none.
So she poured the entire bottle onto the wound.
Just then, a voice filled with anger and shock rang out, “What are you doing?!”
Feng Sa couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
After dealing with a ridiculous incident involving a person mistaking a doll for a human face, he had accepted the grateful thanks of the reporter and planned to head back.
It was too noisy outside, and feeling irritated, he decided to take a different route and wait for a ride in a quieter area.
But then—
As soon as he entered the alley, he saw someone lying in a pool of blood, their life or death uncertain. Next to them, a young person was squatting there, pouring bottled water over the poor victim’s head!
??!
What kind of heartless behavior was this?!
Finding someone who had been hit by a car, not calling the police or an ambulance, and instead pouring water on their head?!
Couldn’t they see that the bleeding wasn’t stopping?!
Damn! Were they insane?!
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Su Mu’s body tensed. She stood up, pulled her hat down low, and tried to run forward!
“Stop right there! I’m definitely taking you to the police station today!” Feng Sa reacted quickly, taking two steps forward to grab the young man’s shoulder.
As he caught hold, Feng Sa felt a bit unreal—why was this person running so slowly?
It was almost as if they wanted to be caught!
If Su Mu could hear his thoughts, she would probably be infuriated.
She didn’t want to get caught at all!
It was because she had height-increasing pad in her shoes, which made it hard to run fast!
“Let go!” Su Mu was afraid he would take off her hat. Even though she was wearing a wig underneath, the less exposed, the better.
“Are you out of your mind, you p*rvert?” Feng Sa grabbed her with one hand and pulled out his phone with the other to dial 120.
During this time, he kept a firm grip on her shoulder with immense strength.
Su Mu knew she couldn’t escape. Her mind raced, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the injured person’s wound was already changing. Determined, she decided to change her original plan to run.
After Feng Sa finished giving the time, location, and situation, he hung up the phone, intending to give this lunatic a piece of his mind.
However, just as he put down his phone, he heard the other person say in a low, hoarse voice, “Let go of me. What do you think I was doing?”
“What do I think you were doing?” Feng Sa was almost amused by his anger. “Of course, you were… were…”
“…?”
His words got stuck in his throat.
Because, as he was speaking, he glanced sideways at the injured person on the ground and saw…
The person’s head, which had been covered in blood, had a wound that was actually healing!
??!
!!!
Feng Sa wondered if he was seeing things. He blinked hard and then opened his eyes again, only to see the wound was indeed still healing!
