Chapter 129 128: [Forgotten Box Garden] Oil and Salt Therapy
After those nagging ceremonies, Father Cesar made everyone wait for a while until the blue flames returned to their normal color, and then announced that the evil breath had been purified.

Originally, Angie thought that the matter would end here, but unexpectedly, Father Cesar did not leave just like that, saying that he would perform a second purification of Elena's wound.

This time it was Leo who dealt with the wound.He first blew out the candles on the bed, then took out a bottle containing white fine particles from the sackcloth bag, and then took out a bottle containing oily liquid, and opened them.

Angie finally couldn't help but asked:
"what are these?"

"Salt, holy oil."

It was Leo who answered her.

This unsurprising answer made Anji secretly grit his teeth.

The well-trained medieval doctors could indeed add salt to the wounds. If they were allowed to do something wrong, Elena would suffer this kind of meaningless torture again, which would definitely aggravate her injuries.

But even so, Angie couldn't stop the other party - not only for herself, but also to protect the people around her.

Seeing that Leo was ready, Father Cesar looked at the girl beside him and gave instructions: "Susanna, go hold your sister."

"it is good."

Susanna obediently agreed, climbed onto the bed, sat next to Elena, and then felt the latter holding her hand firmly.

At this moment, the little girl looked extremely nervous.She clings tightly to her sister, and only her sister can rely on, which makes Anji full of worries.

Although she has never experienced the feeling of sprinkling salt on a wound, this kind of famous pain is famous far and wide, and there is a high probability that the young Elena can't bear it—that is to say, she has to be beaten by the other party while crying up...

All kinds of complicated thoughts filled Angie's head. With the priest's nod, Leo carefully poured out some salt and sprinkled it on the girl's wound.

Elena screamed in pain, she didn't even care about the pain in her knees, she just used her hands and feet to get out of bed and escape from here.

But Suzanne was still with her.As the caretaker, she immediately held down Elena, and at the same time, Leo also held down the girl's wobbling legs with both hands.

"Don't, don't, don't!! Let me go!! It hurts so much, sister, why don't you help me!"

Elena cried out in pain while crying.She had obviously lost her mind, and she slammed her fists on Susanna indiscriminately, and even hit the corner of her sister's eye in the confusion.

Intense pain kept coming from all over the body, but to Angie, it didn't hurt much.

It's just that she couldn't help but feel a little guilty in her heart - because she knew very well that this kind of "purification" was completely meaningless torture.

"Elena, I'm sorry, can you hold on a little longer?" Suzanne softly comforted the rioting younger sister, hugging her tightly, "I'm sorry, it's my sister who didn't protect you well."

Elena cried louder, and as Leo continued to apply salt and oil to her wounds, she hit people harder and harder, but when the purification was coming to an end, she struggled Finally, the strength gradually decreased.

The girl's physical strength has bottomed out, no matter how painful she is, she doesn't have much strength to struggle anymore.

Susanna gently stroked her younger sister's head, and at this moment, she heard Elena crying in her arms, saying in a very soft voice:
"You're not my sister, are you?"

Angie's heart skipped a beat.

She didn't respond, but just hugged the quiet girl tenderly, her expression was as worried as before, as if she was just an older sister worried about her younger sister's health.

Leo was busy "purifying" the wound, while the priest stood by and watched him busy, looking at the two girls on the bed from time to time.

No one noticed the difference.Only Anji heard Elena's words.

Realizing this, Anji lowered his head slightly, leaned close to the girl's ear, and said softly:
"sorry."

She made no attempt to justify herself.Although she is not sure whether the child is a curse or a human being, she still prefers to take him seriously as a human being—just like the three little girls on Sky Island.

As long as she has a human heart, that's enough, and the "components" of her body are not so important.

After Anji apologized, Elena didn't speak any more, just leaned in "sister"'s arms, and gently rubbed "sister".

Angie's anxiety eased a little.

The Wound Purification Ritual is finally over.Leo took out a clean cloth and re-wrapped Elena's knee. At this moment, the two belated footsteps finally came from downstairs.

It's Alma and Jed back.While calling their two daughters' names, they ran to their bedroom panting, then frowned at the same time, looking at the two girls sitting on the bed and Leo who was bandaging them with complex expressions.

Susanna looked at her parents, showing a somewhat bitter smile - no one had to guess, the couple's complex expressions were due to the fact that the smell in this room was so strong...

However, for parents who love their daughters, this small problem is nothing.

Alma sat on the bed with a worried expression on her face. Seeing Suzanne hugging her younger sister, the corners of her eyes were a little black, and she also noticed that her exposed skin was also purple and red in many places. She immediately realized what happened before.

At the same time, Jed stood by the bed, looked at Cesar, and asked him:
"Father Cesar, I heard that Elena's wound has deteriorated, is this true?"

"Yes. Her wound was polluted by the witch, and even holy water couldn't completely purify it, so we performed a purification ceremony for her. For these three days, you can't let her leave this room, close the doors and windows as much as possible to prevent other The evil breath of the emptiness sneaked in."

"Yes, Father."

Jed and Alma nodded in agreement, and then Cesar said seriously again: "I will come to check her condition tomorrow. If the situation worsens, we may have to take her to church to recuperate."

The couple looked at each other, and then Jed asked:

"Father Cesar, is Elena's condition serious?"

"She was directly persecuted by the witch, so the situation will naturally be a little more serious," Cesar said with a solemn expression, and after a short pause, his expression eased slightly, "Don't worry, I will take responsibility for this matter to the end. Church Her mission is to protect people from evil, and with the blessing of the Lord, Elena's situation will definitely improve gradually."

Jed and Alma breathed a sigh of relief, forced a smile, and thanked the priest repeatedly.

Susanna also thanked the priest with a smile, and then watched her parents leave the room with the two church members, went down to see off the guests, and closed the door according to the priest's instructions before leaving.

At this moment, the bedroom where only the two sisters were in finally fell silent for a short time.

Angie patted Suzanne's head, laid the tired dozing girl flat on the bed, and immediately jumped out of bed, rushed to the wooden window and opened it.

Fresh air flooded into the extremely stinky room in an instant. Anji poked his head out of the window, breathing heavily, and even had the illusion of being alive after a catastrophe.

She already had a bold guess about the composition of that holy water.If possible, she really doesn't want to have anything to do with that pretending old man anymore...

But when Anji was feeling the fresh air outside, her eyes fell on the trees near the door of the house.

Was the forest so close to their home?
