Chapter 91 War Everywhere

The little girl weakly opened her mouth and whimpered. Calista stared at her for a while, then undid her jacket and put it over the little girl’s face.

“I’ll be fine as long as you don’t look.”

The little girl wanted to pull the jacket off her face when everything suddenly went dark, but she suddenly stopped moving when she heard Calista’s voice.

This pretty young lady seemed cold and distant, but her gentleness had touched the little girl’s heart. So the little girl slowly relaxed, as the smell of the jacket made her feel at ease and she felt like sleeping.

Calista bent her head down and continued, quickly cutting off all the rotten flesh. Then she used a rock to pound the herbs into a paste and applied it on the wound.

In the process, she also tried to distract the little girl.

“What were you doing under the tree?”

The little girl hadn’t eaten in days and was very weak, so she hoarsely replied, “My brother was taken away by soldiers…I’m waiting for him to come back…”

The little girl’s words made Calista feel uncomfortable. If the soldiers she mentioned had taken her brother away by force, then they must have been rebel forces. Once they took anyone away, they were likely to never come back.

After she had bandaged the wound, Calista took the jacket off the little girl’s head, but the little girl held onto the sleeve of the jacket.

“You want it?” Calista looked at her jacket.

The little girl nodded, an intense desire in her light amber colored eyes.

“It smells very nice…” It was a smell that could make her feel at ease, and she held onto the jacket as if it would save her, as if she could get some sense of security from it.

Calista let go of the jacket. “If you want it, you can have it.”

She pulled out more herbs from her backpack and asked the little girl, “I need a stove and a pot. Do you have one?”
