Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 775: Crutches

After entering the Mangyan Palace, Tian Wen said to Wu Xunsheng, "I just met you by chance. When I came out, my father was busy. He didn't know that I brought you here now. I want to go in and tell him. You wait here for a moment." After that, he entered the meeting room of the Mangyan Palace.

Tian Wen had just gone in and said a few words to Jian Liang, and immediately came out with a chair. He put the chair down and said to Wu Xunsheng, "Excuse me, my father is in a hurry and wants me to help him with something. Please sit here and wait for a while. I will come out as soon as I am done and ask you to go in and see my father."

Wu Xunsheng was a little sleepy at the time, so he sat on the chair with his head down and waited, yawning twice. He didn't pay attention to the passing of someone or the footsteps in the distance. Before he even got comfortable in the chair, he heard Jian Rou's voice coming from the other side.

"You don't need to help me, I can walk by myself!" Jian Rou said to her subordinates.

Wu Xunsheng subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came from, and the scene he saw shocked him so much that he no longer felt sleepy.

He saw Jian Rou leaning on crutches with her head down and looking at the ground, carefully trying to move her left foot - the only foot under her long skirt.

Jian Rou moved her left foot with difficulty, and then she immediately adjusted the position of her crutches. She didn't seem to be able to walk on one foot skillfully with the crutches.

Wu Xunsheng was shocked: Where is her...her right leg? Was her right leg amputated after being injured in the attack?!
Although he had heard about the consequences of being injured by being chased, and had thought that Jian Rou's right leg might be in danger, he was still stunned when he suddenly saw such a scene without any preparation.

There were two men behind Jian Rou, one of whom was pushing a wooden wheelchair.

Jian Rou lowered her head and looked at the ground and said, "I can walk, don't follow me, stay away from me!"

After she finished speaking, she felt that the two men were not moving away from her. She continued, "Stay away from me! I can walk by myself! I don't want you to stand next to me, as if I can't walk by myself, it makes me feel so uncomfortable!" As she spoke, she kept her head down and looked at the ground carefully, as if she didn't dare to look back at the two men, for fear of falling down if she turned her head.

The two men looked at each other and then walked away, but still looking at Jian Rou.

"I heard your footsteps. You didn't walk far! You have two intact legs, so why are you walking so slowly? Even if I fall, it has nothing to do with you! No one will blame you for not taking good care of me! Stay away from me, farther away! Otherwise I will die! I can walk without you!" When Jian Rou said this, her two subordinates could tell that she was already crying.

The two men walked much further away this time, but still looked at her.

Jian Rou never looked back at the two men. She kept her head down at the ground and just listened to their footsteps to judge how far they had walked.

After the two men walked away, she tried to move her left foot again with the crutches. This time, she moved her left foot a greater distance than last time.

In this way, she lowered her head, supported by crutches, and moved forward with difficulty.

Jian Rou seemed to be tired of keeping her head down, so she slowly raised her head. At this moment, her eyes met Wu Xunsheng.
