Chapter 193 - Little Shao's Secret (1)
Little Shao pulled out her B tag from her clothes.
"This isn't my tag. I'm actually an E. My tag isn't that much better than yours."
Du Ruo made his move while they were distracted.
Little Shao trembled in pain. She cried out and burst into tears.
Bei Nuan quickly grabbed her other hand and continued to talk to her. "Who does this tag belong to?"
"It's my older brother's. He died." Little Shao was sweating from the pain. She tried her best to continue talking to Bei Nuan to distract herself.
As it turned out, Little Shao had come onto the island with her brother. Her brother had gotten a B tag, and she had gotten an E tag.
Little Shao didn't like the E tag, so her brother traded tags with her.
Little Shao's brother was very good at catching birds and knew how to deal with poisonous snakes. They had made a living selling barbecued sparrows since arriving on the island.
Later on, her brother had an accident. He had also fallen off the mountain.
Before dying, he instructed Little Shao to not let others know she was an E. If other people thought she was B, her situation would be better on the island.
Once someone died, their tag had to be sent back to Old Hu. Little Shao returned the E tag to him.
At the time, Little Shao had been very scared, but Old Hu only glanced at her and didn't say anything. He probably felt bad that she was all alone.
Since then, Little Shao continued to pretend that she was assigned a B tag.
Her brother was right. She encountered a lot less trouble by wearing this metal tag.
After her brother's death, she followed her brother's teachings and went up the mountain to catch birds every day. It had been fine until today, when she tripped and rolled down the mountain.
Little Shao asked in a low voice, "So is the tag right? Am I going to die?"
Holding her hand, Bei Nuan resolutely said, "I didn't die. You won't die either."
She was that famous F. Her words were more convincing than anyone else's.
Little Shao's eyes gleamed. She fervently looked at Bei Nuan and vigorously nodded.
"You won't die," Du Ruo added, "Your situation is pretty good. Your bone is reset, and your infection isn't that serious."
"I'll make a splint to hold your calf in place. Your injury will be completely healed in about four months." Du Ruo stood up and emphasized, "But, you have to rest during these four months. You can't move around too much. You can't go up the mountain to catch birds."
After saying that, he was a bit worried. "But then how will you earn money to support yourself?"
"It's fine. I have a lot of money saved," Little Shao confidently said, "I've been going to the casino a lot and only betting on the cage fights. I'm good at judging if someone can win. I won a lot of money. It's all saved in the casino. I saved enough to last me for a few years just in case of an accident like this one."
Bei Nuan said, "You have to think of another way to earn money. It's too dangerous going up the mountain every day."
Little Shao answered, "I've gotten close to the people in the casino. They said I can go work in the kitchen next month. The salary is high, and it's not dangerous. I'll have to rest for a while before I can go now."
This child had planned for a rainy day. She had done a good job planning for her life. Although she had gotten an E tag, she didn't give up on life.
Du Ruo treated Little Shao's wound, fed her medicine, found a few small wooden boards, and used that and bandages to make her a splint to hold her calf in place.
By the time that everything was done, it was completely dark. Bei Nuan stood up to leave, and she suddenly thought of something.
Little Shao had been making a living here for so long. Could she have seen that mysterious sign?
"Little Shao, have you seen a sign like this on the island?"
Bei Nuan drew 3 curved lines that pointed towards a 品 symbol with an eye in the very center on her palm.
Little Shao paused for a second before answering, "Of course, I have. I see it every day."
She lifted up the B tag that was hanging around her neck and flipped it over.
