"It's not him." Just as Xie Yuhua was about to leave with his umbrella, he heard the young man say this. He paused and turned his head slightly to look at the young man.

"He's not injured." After saying this, the young man stopped talking. Seeing that he didn't speak, Black Bear chimed in.

"Now that you mention it, it seems so. When the blind man went to pour water for the young master, he didn't notice any injuries on the young master's body. Oh dear, mute, why didn't you say anything earlier? Were you doing this on purpose?" As he spoke, the blind man sat down, crossed his legs, and leisurely drank his water. He had clearly observed the incident, but he pretended as if he had just remembered it.

The young man glanced at Black Bear silently, then quickly looked away.

Xie Yuhua looked at the two people, wondering what they were up to. However, he did recall what the young man had said when he found the blood in the woods: "Fresh."

If the child wasn't injured, whose bloodstains are they? Did he really misunderstand the child?

Jieyuhua pushed open the door, opened her umbrella, and quickly walked out, but there was no sign of the child outside.

-

Ugh, I'm bleeding again!

Looking at his neck, which was spurting blood in the mirror, and his hair, which was stained red in the sink, Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel irritated.

He didn't want to treat his wounds, nor did he want to see himself bleeding, so he took out some tape from his spatial storage, wrapped it around his neck, and then started fixing his hair again.

After cleaning up, he wanted to take a shower to wash away the traces of rain and blood, but after searching through his storage space for a long time, he couldn't find any clothes to change into, so he decided to go back to his room to get some.

On his way back, he happened to see Xie Yuhua holding an umbrella, seemingly looking for something. He figured that whatever she was looking for wouldn't be him, so he ignored her and went straight into the room.

As soon as he entered the room, the fat man jumped up from his chair and started rummaging through things. Cheng Yu also went to the kitchen.

"Lingzi, why are you soaked like this? Where's Xiaohua? Didn't he come looking for you? Where did your hair go? And why are you covered in blood? Are you injured?" Wuxie asked a series of questions when he saw Lingxiao come in looking so disheveled.

Ling Xiao lowered his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "He's outside." Then he went to look for his clothes on his own.

A short while later, the fat man brought a bath towel to wipe Ling Xiao down, but Ling Xiao refused, saying, "It's dirty. I'm going to take a shower later. Just hand me the towel; don't waste it."

"What are you saying?" The fat man ignored his refusal and directly covered Ling Xiao's head with a bath towel to dry him. While drying, he muttered, "Isn't the purpose of towels to dry the body? You can't not dry your hair just because you're going to take a shower. What if you catch a cold tomorrow and feel awful? Do you want to drink bitter medicine?"

"I don't want to think about it anymore, I never want to think about it again," Ling Xiao replied softly.

"If you don't want to think about it, then behave yourself and lift your head so Fatty can see where you're hurt again." Fatty took the towel off Ling Xiao's head and draped it over his neck and shoulders, where he could see the tape on Ling Xiao's neck.

When he saw that blood was still seeping from the tape on Ling Xiao's neck, he immediately started cursing: "Damn! I've really seen something amazing!"

"This is the first time I've ever seen someone get injured and not get proper treatment, just have the wound taped up!" He grumbled as he rummaged through the first-aid kit, looking for disinfectant.

"Young Master, how did you get such a serious injury after only being out for a short while? Quickly, let the blind man take a look. Look how distressed the blind man is. The blind man will blow on it for the young master right away." Black Bear said, pressing Ling Xiao into a seat.

"Get out of here, you blind bastard! Don't be a toad crawling on my feet—you're an eyesore even if you don't bite! Can't you see Lingzi is injured? If you're not going to help, then help. If you're not going to help, then don't cause trouble!" The fat man brought over the first-aid kit and shoved the blind man aside.

Who knew that Hei Xiazi, who said he would help Ling Xiao blow on the tape, actually went to peel it off. When Fatty pushed him, the tape was peeled off directly, and blood sprayed all over the two of them.
