Chapter 732: Extra 9: The Childhood Journey of Tie Chui (Iron Hammer) and Iron Nail (Part 2)

"..."

Tie Chui looked bewilderedly at his sister, who was holding boiling water in front of him. He could more or less understand what she was saying and, after thinking it over for a long time, just gave a silly smile and nodded to indicate he was okay.

But the next second—

"Ah!"

As someone who was usually slow to react, he couldn’t help but let out a low groan of pain.

He had overestimated himself.

It was true he was slow-witted, and his mind was slow to react, but his damn arm wasn’t slow-witted; his arm reacted fast.

The boiling water splashed on him, and that was fucking painful.

He had initially thought it wouldn’t be a big deal, but he quickly realized he was wrong. The intense pain made him cry out uncontrollably.

...

Ten minutes later.

Iron Nail was applying toothpaste onto the dense blisters on Tie Chui’s arms with a pained expression, whispering softly, "Brother, bear with it a little, this scar must be dealt with, or it’s too easy to be discovered."

"Brother, you have to remember everything I told you tonight."

"We absolutely cannot get caught. If we are caught, not only will I never have pretty dresses again, but you also won’t be able to see me anymore. Do you understand, brother?"

"I’ve already checked."

"Brother, your mind isn’t right, and there’s a certain chance you might be judged as mentally ill and be found not guilty, but being released doesn’t mean you’d directly return to society. Instead, the government would pay to put you directly into a mental hospital."

"That’s a place even more tormenting than prison."

"And since I’m younger and didn’t lay a hand on anyone, I won’t be sent to prison or a mental hospital. But without you, brother, I guess I would be forced into a welfare institute. After that, we might never see each other again."

"Mm."

.

"I’m going to scald your arms lightly with boiling water. It won’t be too severe, just a bit painful."

"Brother, endure it for a moment."

"I couldn’t think of a better way, brother. Do you have any other ideas? If not, I’m going to start."

"..."

Tie Chui looked bewilderedly at his sister, who was holding boiling water in front of him, his sister’s words he could more or less understand, and after much thought, he just gave a silly smile and nodded to indicate he was okay.

But the next second—

"Ah!"

As someone who was usually slow to react, he couldn’t help but let out a low groan of pain.
