The Dark Town

Perfect

Author's POV

Wei ying was running as fast as he could. Though each step he took he felt deep pain in his stomach but he ignored it. If he stopped he might lose his life.

After running for half  hour he stopped and sat on a bench at the road side to breathe. He noticed that no one was following him.

Now blood could be seen on his light blue shirt. He grabbed his stomach tightly. Anyone could tell by seeing that he was injured.
There were not much people around. The few who were passing by didn't spared a glance at him.

Wei ying didn't dare to ask help from anyone. He was too scared by the incident which just happened with him. He felt like he couldn't trust any stranger.

He slowly stood up in search of any medical shop.

After walking for few minutes he saw one and he went there.

Before he could say anything to the shopkeeper  himself handed him few painkillers , cotton , bandages and savlon.

Wei ying was confused seeing the action of the shopkeeper. But he didn't said anything. Ofcourse he needed all of them.
Wei ying,"How much??"

When he was in the car he took some important things form his bag. He took all money he had, his mobile phone and documents for his admission. Then he ran away while the  driver  was busy talking to someone else.

The shopkeeper stared at him for a while and then asked,
"New here?"

Wei ying,"how do you know?"

The shopkeeper observed him from head to toe and then looked at him with pity.

"These are some of the common products. We give it to our customers for free."

Wei ying,"But how i can take these without paying."

"Boy take these  and go home as fast as you can. Looking at you I am sure you will need more money later."

Wei ying was confused listening to the shopkeeper.
Wei ying,'why everything is so weird here? Anyways I should pay.'

Thinking this wei ying looked at the price of the products and kept the money accordingly. He was about to leave but then shopkeeper called him.

"Take this and don't pay for it."

The shopkeeper handed him a bottle of water. Wei ying smiled at him and took it.

Wei ying,"thanks."

He went towards a bench and sat there. First he took painkillers.
Then he dipped cotton in savlon and pressed the cotton on his wound tightly.

His eyes became teary . Enduring the pain he took the bandage and wrapped it tightly on his wound.

All the time the shopkeeper was looking at him.
"Such pretty boy. Hope he survives."
The shopkeeper said to himself. Then he called boy.

"Hey you, injured boy."

Wei ying looked at him. He stood up and went near the shop.

wei ying,"uncle you called me."

"Where do you have to go?"

Wei ying,"I have to go to XXX university. "

The shopkeeper came out of his shop. Then he locked his shop and went towards his bike which he had parked nearby.

"Come sit, let me drop you."

Fear could be seen on wei ying's face . He was very confused if he should accept the offer. He really needed someone's help but he didn't had courage to trust anyone.
