Jieyuhua felt sticky all over her face, as if something had been smeared on it. It also felt like there was a hand on her lips, and her mouth tasted sweet and metallic.

As if realizing something, Xie Yuhua suddenly sat up, while Ling Xiao was right beneath him, completely unresponsive...

The ground was covered in dried blood. Xie Yuhua touched his face and realized that it was all the child's blood, which had congealed on his face. He quickly crawled away from the child's body and checked with trembling hands.

The child's mouth was also stained with blood, and his teeth were tightly biting a piece of flesh. Xie Yuhua couldn't imagine where that piece of flesh came from, but she had to ignore the wound on her wrist.

The flesh on his hand had been completely torn open, revealing bright red muscle tissue and pale white bone underneath. The wound was clearly caused by a bite.

Jieyuhua was stunned for a long time. He couldn't figure out what kind of mentality the child had in doing such a thing. The child should have been the most selfish one, so why?

He gently nudged the child, trying to wake him, but the child didn't respond. He tried again with more force, but still couldn't budge the child an inch.

A sense of unease welled up in Jieyuhua's heart. He carefully parted the child's hair, revealing that all-too-familiar face.

The man who used to softly call him "Little Flower Brother" is now as pale as paper, devoid of all life and vitality.

It was all an illusion, but when he reached out his trembling hand and gently stroked the person's cheek again, all he felt was a cold touch, and he could no longer deceive himself.

He collapsed to the ground as if he had lost his soul, only to find Ling Xiao's legs displayed in a strange position before him. Tears finally streamed down his face.

"Xiao Hua! Xiao Hua!" Wu Xie shouted loudly, "Are you in there? Where are you? It's so hot! Can you hear me? We've all been fooled. Xiao Ge has already come out. There was no old man at all. There was only a hand! And a bug. The old man should have been eaten clean long ago. Are you alright? If you are, let me know!" Wu Xie's voice echoed in the air, but there was no response.

When Wu Xie saw Xie Yuhua again, he was holding something and talking to himself, then gently kissing it.

Wu Xie walked over and patted Xie Yuchen on the shoulder, saying, "Xiao Hua, what are you doing? Go outside! Listen to me..."

When Xie Yuhua looked up, Wu Xie was startled. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was covered in blood and dirt, looking utterly disheveled. But what shocked Wu Xie most was the person he was holding in his arms—Ling Xiao.

He should have expected this. A wave of panic washed over Wu Xie. He had never seen anything like it before and involuntarily backed away. He couldn't quite accept the fact that the person in Xie Yuhua's arms didn't seem alive anymore. He instinctively wanted to escape the scene, but Xie Yuhua held him tightly.

As if grasping at a straw, Xie Yuhua cried out urgently, "Save him! Quickly find someone to save him! Please save him!" His voice was filled with despair and helplessness, as if he had placed all his hopes on Wu Xie.

Seeing that Wu Xie had no reaction, and that people were appearing one after another but none of them were willing to step forward, Xie Yuhua looked down at the child's corpse, then at the faces of the others, and smiled.

When Fatty and Cheng Yu tried to step forward, he held onto the person in his arms tightly, and finally couldn't help but blurt out, "Why didn't you do it sooner! Why didn't you save him?"

He lowered his head and pressed it against Ling Xiao's, pleading painfully, "Why did you save me...?"

Little Flower Brother doesn't need you to save him, okay? Don't joke with Little Flower Brother anymore. Little Flower Brother will buy you red berries to eat; Ling Xiao loves them the most. Don't scare your brother."
