When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

"what?!"

Hearing what Xiao Yihuo said, Lin Lezhi was so shocked that he almost couldn't sit still and coughed several times in a row.

"Why, you caught a cold after being apart for so long?"

Xiao Yihuo glanced over and asked with a probing look in his eyes.

“No… cough cough…” Lin Lezhi looked at the fire nearby, pretended to cough a few times and said, “It’s… there’s a lot of moisture in these firewoods, so they’re a bit choking, choking, I didn’t… I didn’t catch a cold, ha… haha…”

“That…” Lin Lezhi declined with an evasive look in his eyes: “Don’t…don’t look at the wound. It’s just a minor wound. It’s…it’s not a big deal…”

More than three months have passed since I parted with Xiao Yihuo in Linnan Prefecture.

Things that had been forgotten were brought back to mind by Xiao Yihuo's words. Although he did not deliberately think in that direction, with Xiao Yihuo standing in front of him, his brain could not help but think in that direction.

I felt like I had traveled into a book with two male protagonists.

That's right.

I wrote it myself.

Seeing Lin Lezhi's obviously wary and resistant expression, Xiao Yihuo's eyes sank slightly, but soon returned to normal.

"You fell into the pit and your injuries worsened. The clothes near the wound were torn and stained with mud. If you don't clean it up in time, it will be dangerous."

"I just don't want to hold everyone back because of someone's injury." Xiao Yihuo put the small porcelain bottle on the ground in front of Lin Lezhi, looked at Lin Lezhi and raised his eyebrows slightly, saying: "If Mr. Lin doesn't trust me, you can do it yourself."

Lin Lezhi's eyes twitched slightly.

She pretends to be a little white flower in front of others, but when there is no one watching her, she is too lazy to even pretend.

Do it yourself...

It was obvious that Xiao Yihuo was trying to provoke me.

The wound was on the back of his shoulder, there was no way he could get to it himself.

However, Xiao Yihuo was right about one thing. If the wound was not treated quickly and became infected and caused a fever, it would definitely slow down everyone's progress.

There are dangers hidden everywhere in this deep forest. I really can't let myself affect others.

There was not much mental debate before Lin Lezhi turned slightly to face Xiao Yihuo with his back. He then reached out to untie the belt at his side and pulled down the left side of his clothes.

"Uh…"

When he pulled his clothes to the wound, the clothes were stuck to the flesh due to dried blood. Lin Lezhi couldn't help but groan in pain. A little sweat broke out on his forehead, and his hands and body were visibly trembling slightly.

But compared to this pain, Lin Lezhi felt more pain from the cold.

Although it was just a small humming sound, it was very clear in the quiet forest.

"Don't move, let me do it."

Xiao Yihuo took Lin Lezhi's clothes and gently pulled them down, his eyes becoming increasingly darker.

Lin Lezhi's bleeding area had already stuck to his clothes, and the most seriously injured area was covered with a lot of dirt and had already festered. The skin and flesh at the most seriously injured area below were a little cracked, presumably where he had just been hit.

But judging from the degree of festering around Lin Lezhi's wound, it definitely did not become like this just now. The wound must have been infected and festered before he came here.

From the lakeside to the lake island today, Lin Lezhi has not been able to stop to rest properly. He crawled back and forth in the deep well with injuries, and just now he was left alone to face those snakes, so it is hard not to be injured by the wound.

But Lin Lezhi never said a word, nor did he show any discomfort on his face. He endured it silently, as if nothing had happened.

Before coming to Lake Island, he left the medicine Qingchuan gave him to Guan Ziheng.

Looking at Lin Lezhi's somewhat pale face, Xiao Yihuo's eyes darkened again.

You care about other people's affairs but not your own. Are your injuries so unimportant?

"Pulling it hard will only aggravate the injury. Wait a minute."

As he spoke, Xiao Yihuo took out a water bag from his sleeve, poured the water in the bag gently onto the wound, and moistened his clothes.

With the moisture of water, the places where they are stuck together can be easily peeled off.

After Xiao Yihuo carefully peeled off the clothes and the wound, he immediately rinsed the wound with clean water in the water bag, and then applied ointment on Lin Lezhi's wound.

Lin Lezhi hadn't made any sound since he couldn't hold back the groan of pain he let out a moment ago, but his slightly trembling body and his unstable breathing could not be hidden from others.

The wound had a burning stinging sensation, but after the cool ointment was applied, the burning sensation was much relieved.

After feeling that Xiao Yihuo had no further move, Lin Lezhi endured the pain and pulled his clothes up, saying with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for your help."

But just as he lifted it up a little, his wrist was grabbed by Xiao Yihuo.

"Wait a minute."

After Xiao Yihuo spoke in a slightly tough tone, he let go of Lin Lezhi's hand and stood up. Soon, the sound of clothes rubbing against each other was heard.

Lin Lezhi turned around and found Xiao Yihuo unbuckling his belt.

"What are you doing!?"

Lin Lezhi widened his eyes slightly and blurted out with a somewhat panicked look.

Xiao Yihuo glanced at Lin Lezhi and took off his outer clothes. Then, the sound of clothes tearing broke the quiet air.

Xiao Yihuo tore the inner garment that had not touched the outer layer into long strips.

Seeing Xiao Yihuo's actions, Lin Lezhi also understood what Xiao Yihuo wanted to do. He turned around again and his expression relaxed.

Xiao Yihuo squatted down again with the strip of clothes in his hand, bandaged Lin Lezhi's wound and said, "Your clothes are too dirty. The wound will get infected."

"Mr. Xiao's clothes are so precious that they are dust-free. It would be a shame to tear them like this. Let me make it clear first. I don't have the money to compensate you, and I can't afford it."

The night was boring, and Lin Lezhi became a little interested and joked with a smile.

Xiao Yihuo did not stop his movements, and said with a slight smile: "No money, that's not necessarily true, you say...if I tell others that I know Wuyouke, do you think someone will rush to give me money and ask me to help set up a meeting? If so, the money for a set of clothes can be returned quickly."

Hearing this, Lin Lezhi was slightly stunned.

After a moment of silence, Lin Lezhi slowed down and said with a smile on his face: "Oh, I didn't realize you knew Wuyouke?"

Xiao Yihuo bandaged the wound skillfully, pulled Lin Lezhi's underwear back on, and said with a smile: "Not only do I know him, I also have some friendship with him. I know a lot about him, such as..."

Xiao Yihuo leaned a little closer and said in a low voice, "He can't drink much."
