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

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yihuo would suddenly change the topic and reveal his own affairs. For a moment, Lin Lezhi didn't know how to react.

When he was in Yarenzhuang, Xiao Yihuo once told himself that his mother died on his fifth birthday.

This handkerchief...

I think it was held in the hand of Xiao Yihuo's biological mother before she died.

No wonder, Xiao Yihuo was awakened from his coma just by him approaching with the handkerchief.

Lin Lezhi tightened the handkerchief in his hand slightly, his eyes wavered slightly, and he said with a deep breath: "I'm sorry, I didn't know how important this handkerchief is to you, I will put it away now."

Lin Lezhi put the handkerchief back to its original place, then found another handkerchief from the other sleeve, then looked at Xiao Yihuo and said, "Since you are awake, sit up and cooperate with me. Take off your dirty clothes and I will wash you."

After these words were spoken, the dim earthen temple fell silent, leaving only the crackling sound of flames burning wood.

Xiao Yihuo stared at Lin Lezhi closely without saying anything and showing no intention of cooperating with Lin Lezhi. The two of them, one sitting on the ground and the other squatting on the ground, stared at each other.

After staring for a while, Xiao Yihuo looked away first.

Although I didn't dare to guess Xiao Yihuo's thoughts 100%, but after having been in contact with Xiao Yihuo for such a long time, I could probably guess it a little.

This guy's obsession with cleanliness is probably because he wants to save face and doesn't want to show his body in front of others.

After another silence for a while, seeing that Xiao Yihuo still had no intention of cooperating with him, Lin Lezhi did not wait any longer. He curled the corners of his mouth, chose to ignore Xiao Yihuo's reluctant attitude, and directly took off Xiao Yihuo's clothes.

While doing it, he said with a shameless smile: "You have seen my body, we have to be fair, and besides, we are both grown men, I have everything you have, there is nothing to be embarrassed about, I am just repaying you for saving me."

"unnecessary!"

"Oh, why do you always say one thing and mean another? You reminded me before that I shouldn't shirk my responsibility. Oh, I see. You must be being polite to me. You don't have to be polite to me. This is what I should do."

Xiao Yihuo was now weak, and his fighting power had been reduced a lot. It was a bit difficult for him to just dodge the hand that Lin Lezhi stretched out.

Xiao Yihuo, who usually has the upper hand with his powerful martial arts, is now disheveled by Lin Lezhi and looks helpless. He looks quite pitiful.

This is what a sickly prince looks like.

Hey!

Since coming to this world, no matter it was the cold and arrogant Xiao Yihuo with a stinky face, or the sickly and clingy Xiao Yihuo, Lin Lezhi always had an unpleasant feeling that he was being controlled by Xiao Yihuo.

Not only does he always go against himself and embarrass himself.

What's more important is that he made me spend twenty taels of silver to entertain guests at Jianghe Inn for nothing! !

That's twenty taels. How long will it take him to save it up?!

It was true that he felt guilty towards Xiao Yihuo, but he was also really angry.

There is no chance of getting this opportunity again. Now I can finally vent my anger.

"Lin Lezhi!"

Xiao Yihuo grabbed Lin Lezhi's reckless hand, and there was a hint of anger in his weak voice, which sounded like a warning, and there was a bit of confusion and embarrassment in his eyes.

At this point, Lin Lezhi's anger had mostly subsided. He let out a breath and said calmly, "You have been holding on since you landed on the island. There is no one else here now, so you don't have to be so alert. Of course, if you are afraid that telling others will damage your reputation, then only God, the earth, you and I know it. If I don't tell others, no one will know."

Xiao Yihuo stared at Lin Lezhi, with a flash of astonishment in his eyes. He then looked at the clothes Lin Lezhi was wearing. He obviously found it hard to believe what Lin Lezhi said, but he didn't seem to resist it. He looked away, coughed lightly and said, "I'm afraid only Yun He would believe what you said."

Hearing this, Lin Lezhi burst out laughing.

This is true.

"Don't let them know."

Xiao Yihuo released the hand that was holding Lin Lezhi, his voice weak and with a hint of request.

"Don't worry, I've already promised you that this matter is known only to you, the heavens, the earth, and me."

In fact, Lin Lezhi originally thought that Xiao Yihuo was deliberately teasing him, but the pain from the place where Xiao Yihuo had grabbed his arm was not fake.

Even if Xiao Yihuo is full of twists and turns, he has a proud character and will not play tricks on others at his own expense.

Lin Lezhi noticed that ever since his left shoulder was injured, Xiao Yihuo would always consciously avoid the left side of his body whenever he wanted to have necessary physical contact with him.

I will also remember to ask Qingchuan to help me get the ointment to treat my injuries.

Such a person will not harm others by force.

After getting Lin Lezhi's affirmative answer, Xiao Yihuo turned his back, took off his dirty clothes, and let Lin Lezhi see his back clearly without reservation or cover.

When he saw Xiao Yihuo's back, Lin Lezhi's eyes couldn't help but tighten, and his pupils trembled slightly.

"What, are you scared?"

Noticing the silence caused by Lin Lezhi's hesitation, Xiao Yihuo slightly raised the corner of his mouth and joked.

It’s not that it’s enough to be scary, but Xiao Yihuo’s body did make Lin Lezhi a little overwhelmed. For a moment, he didn’t know how to start.

Xiao Yihuo's back was black, but it was not the color of being stained by sewage. Instead, there were more obvious black lines spreading all over his back. The lines were winding and complex, and the lines were not only on the back, but also spread to the front. Some of the lines were slightly raised on the surface of the skin.

This is not a tattoo, but the color of the meridians in the body that penetrate the skin.

In addition, there are some abrasions on the back, and the abrasions have not yet formed a scab, which shows that they were just scratched not long ago. There are small blood beads oozing out of the abrasions, which are dark red in color.

Lin Lezhi picked up the dirty clothes beside him and took a look. There were also scratches on the same position on the back.

Xiao Yihuo was being reluctant and refused to let me help, just wanting to keep these things secret.

Even though Lin Lezhi didn't know medicine, he knew that Xiao Yihuo's body was not normal, and that Xiao Yihuo's current appearance was due to the things in his body that disturbed him.

Lin Lezhi clenched the clothes in his hands, lowered his eyes and said, "You went out to explore the way before, and suddenly there was no news. You said that you found the vines loose and went down to look for them. You clearly fell down, why did you hide it from me? Why did this happen to you?"

"What does it matter if I tell you? Are you not going to investigate the case anymore?"

Xiao Yihuo's words were cold and rhetorical. When he noticed that his tone was a little cold and hard, he slowed down a little and said nonchalantly, "I'm used to it a long time ago, so there's nothing to mention. Besides, this is my own business."

Ok.

Just like in the cave, the same rhetoric was used to keep people away.

Lin Lezhi wet the handkerchief in his hand and wiped Xiao Yihuo's body, then chuckled and teased: "Don't give me that, I think you are afraid that I will tell Qingchuan and Yunhe, so you dare not tell me. Okay, if you don't want to tell me, I can only wait until I see Brother Qingchuan tomorrow and ask him in person."

“You…! Cough…cough…!”

Xiao Yihuo was provoked by Lin Lezhi and coughed several times. He turned around and looked at Lin Lezhi with an expression of disbelief. Lin Lezhi raised his eyebrows slightly, meaning that if Xiao Yihuo didn't believe it, he could try it.

When dealing with someone as deep-minded as Xiao Yihuo, reasoning is useless; being simple, direct and informal is the most effective approach.

As Xiao Yihuo turned sideways, Lin Lezhi clearly saw that Xiao Yihuo's front body was also covered with black lines, and the area near his heart had not been invaded.

"...What...do you want to know?" Xiao Yihuo compromised.

"Tell me first, do you have any suppressed drugs on you?"

Xiao Yihuo said that he was used to it, which meant that his body had been suffering from this kind of abuse for a long time.

The pill that Qingchuan asked Xiao Yihuo to take in the dungeon of Yaren Village might have been to suppress the lines on his body.

"In…in the inner waist pocket."

Hearing this, Lin Lezhi reached towards his waist. Xiao Yihuo had put a lot of things on his waist. Lin Lezhi didn't know which one it was, so he took out all the things from his waist and let Xiao Yihuo find it himself.

Xiao Yihuo picked up a small wooden box from it. After opening it, he found three small brown pills placed horizontally inside.

After swallowing the pill, Xiao Yihuo used his internal energy to stimulate the power of the medicine and suppress it. While doing so, the veins on his forehead, neck, and arms bulged out, his face became particularly pale, and large beads of sweat rolled down his face.

About half an incense stick of time later, the black lines on Xiao Yihuo's body gradually faded away, but he also fell to one side due to exhaustion.

Lin Lezhi quickly caught Xiao Yihuo.

Xiao Yihuo, who had a normal body temperature before, was now cold all over and shaking uncontrollably.
