Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 258 Dreamland

Not long after, the fat man came back with a bottle of iodine.

Like fiddling with a lifeless rag doll, he casually and perfunctorily poured the dark purple potion onto Xu Weiwei's whip marks.

When there was only a little bit left, he splashed it directly on her face. He threw the empty bottle away and walked out to continue his interrupted breakfast.

Xu Weiwei looked extremely horrible at this moment. Large patches of purple covered almost her entire body, and blood was still oozing out. It would not be an exaggeration to describe her as "bright red and purple".

Xu Weiwei put her index and middle fingers together and wiped over her eyes, taking away some of the iodine. She thought it was a good thing that she didn't use alcohol, otherwise she wouldn't be able to bear it at all.

Seeing that the fat man was only concerned with eating and not paying attention to this side at all, Xu Weiwei quietly moved to the end of the bed, took out the bag of beads from her pocket under the cover, took out one, and pricked the skin of the affected area one by one to let the blood flow out.

For the next period of time, Xu Weiwei bent her knees and squatted on the ground, staring blankly at one point. When she got tired, she would slightly change her posture. Even if the bed became very attractive, Xu Weiwei couldn't lie down on it.

Not only will it put pressure on the wound, but there is also an unknown number of bacteria hidden on it, greatly increasing the risk of infection.

But the injury and hunger made her feel dizzy and her head felt like a bowl of paste. Haisang moved to her intact right cheek and whispered, "You can lean on me."

Xu Weiwei's mind cleared up for a moment, and she glanced at Haisang. His lower body was fine and nothing could be seen, but his back was in a worse state, with several bloody red marks scattered across it.

Haisang saw what Xu Weiwei was thinking, grinned, and comforted her: "I'm in good health and strong, it doesn't hurt."

Xu Weiwei remembered that she had a bottle of mermaid ointment in her bag to treat external injuries. She wanted to tell Hai Sang, but she was afraid that Fatty would find out. Thinking that it would be noon in a few hours, Green said that he would take a nap, so it would be safer to wait until then.

Feeling sorry for not being able to help Haisang in time, Xu Weiwei slowly rested her head on the not-so-broad shoulder. Fatigue seemed to have found a base, instantly occupying her brain, and Xu Weiwei let her consciousness sink and got a short rest.

It was hard to tell whether she was unconscious or asleep. Xu Weiwei felt that she saw a lot of things in a state of half-awakeness and half-sleep. It was all messy and disorganized.

Sometimes it was her grandmother picking food for her and telling her to eat more, sometimes it was her grandfather bringing her a big chicken drumstick when he came back from town, and she even dreamed of the priest on the planet Gudel giving her acupuncture, and the sound of gunfire that rang in her ears when she encountered space pirates in the universe...

Finally, a group of children, with innocent malice on their faces, laughed at her mother and called her a fool. Xu Weiwei was very angry. Her mother was as beautiful as a goddess in Greek mythology, noble and elegant, and knew a lot. She was not a fool.

Xu Weiwei wanted to curse back, but her throat seemed to be stuck and she couldn't make a sound. So she simply picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the group of people.

Her stone missed her target, but the opponent's stones fell on her like a hail of bullets, causing her pain all over her body.

Seeing that she couldn't win, Xu Weiwei wanted to run, but her legs seemed to be filled with lead, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't take a single step. The group of people gradually surrounded her.

Xu Weiwei watched helplessly as the leading boy suddenly expanded several times in size as if inflated. His mouth also split into a terrifying shape and he pounced towards her ferociously.

Xu Weiwei took a deep breath and opened her eyes.

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Haisang asked with concern.

Xu Weiwei nodded steadily and moved her feet. She felt a tingling and numb feeling like an electric shock, which stimulated her nerves for a long time before it completely disappeared.

No wonder I couldn't run away, it turned out that my legs were numb from squatting. Xu Weiwei swallowed her saliva, and felt a knife-like pain in her throat. To make matters worse, Xu Weiwei felt a little hot.

Her body was burning. This was not a good sign.

There was no concept of time in the dungeon. Xu Weiwei looked outside and saw the fat man was still there. So she asked Hai Sang next to her in a very low voice, "What time is it?" When she opened her mouth, her voice was hoarse.

"It should be almost noon."

Xu nodded slightly, thinking back to the bizarre dream she had just had.

After lunch, the fat man stayed here for about an hour, stood up, stretched, and walked out. There was actually a bed outside, but it was an old iron bed. The legs were rusty, and he didn't like sleeping here.

In addition to the fear of collapsing the bed, there was another reason: this bed was not very comfortable to sleep on. The bed in the cell was so wet that it looked like it was dripping with water, and the bed outside was similar, still full of moisture and thinly made.

After everyone left, Xu Weiwei swallowed hard again, then said to Hai Sang, "My bag."

"Why does your voice become like that?" Haisang asked worriedly, while crawling under the bed to get the bag and handing it to her.

Xu Weiwei didn't answer. She took out two other small medicine bottles from her bag and put them in her palm. "Use them for any external injuries."

Apart from the sleeping pills that she had taken out in advance, the remaining two bottles included one for treating external injuries and one for detoxification. Xu Weiwei couldn't remember clearly.

Hai Sang looked at her in surprise, then picked up one of the small bottles: "Here. Your injury is quite serious, let me apply it on you first."

Xu shook her head slightly. Mermaids can use human medicine, but it is not clear whether they can use each other's medicine. If there are some ingredients in the medicine that cannot be controlled, it will make the situation worse.

Haisang wanted to insist, but after Green told him this, he had no choice but to give up and asked his sister to help him apply medicine on his back.

Xu Weiwei observed from the side and found that except for the more serious injuries on the back, there was almost no visible injury on the tail. It seems that there is a layer of "armor" that makes the difference. That woman probably let people beat her because of this. She wanted to stimulate the instinct of mermaids and let them use scales to protect themselves.

Too bad she's not a mermaid.

And what she said, "Bring the medicine tomorrow"... Xu Weiwei was sure that this medicine must be something that could make the mermaid 100% out of control and reveal her true form.

So she couldn't wait any longer. Neither her physical condition nor the external threats allowed it.

Green said that the fat man would stay for a symbolic period of time at night and then go back to sleep. Then could she assume that the time he stayed was also based on a reason - for example, he would wait until everyone outside got off work before he could leave. After all, it was not good for others to see him leaving his post.

After the fat man leaves, that will be her best and only chance to escape.
