Lin Qingyan washed her hands and sat in the courtyard for a while. Soon after, she saw Yi Zhiheng return from outside.

However, she noticed that he was injured on his face, with two bruises on his brow bone and the corner of his mouth, and even a cut on the corner of his mouth.

The kids got into a fight!

She stood up, and Yi Zhiheng only glanced at her before quickly returning to his dormitory.

What's wrong with the child?

She felt a vague unease.

Because the child seemed to be a peace-loving person, he had been looking for opportunities to help her these past few days. After Tong Jiaojiao spread rumors, the child kept his distance from her on the surface, but secretly helped her behind her back.

Could it be that after she finishes work, the child is secretly following her, just without letting her see him?

Today she was harassed by Er Laizi, and coincidentally, the child got injured today.

Did the child see Erlaizi harassing her, and then go to fight Erlaizi?

This is just her guess; to find out the truth, she must ask the child directly.

But the child has always been afraid of her getting close, so how can she approach him to ask him these questions?

Lin Qingyan felt she had never been so troubled before.

Did the child experience something bad in the past that led to his current awkward personality?

Children who grow up in a healthy environment generally do not exhibit such divisive behaviors.

But she really couldn't remember when she met the child.

In the male educated youth dormitory

Upon seeing the injury on Yi Zhiheng's face, Shen Tengfei hurriedly asked, "You...you...you...how...how...how..."

Yi Zhiheng knew what he was going to ask, and said, "I touched it by accident."

After saying that, he went to lie down on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Wang Qiang knew his personality; since it was something he didn't want to talk about, asking him would be pointless.

When it was time to eat, Yi Zhiheng finally came out of the dormitory. Just as Lin Qingyan was about to go to him, he took the food and went back into the room.

The next day, Lin Qingyan went to cut pig feed again, waited for the children from the previous day, and went to the foot of the mountain together.

They ran into Er Laizi on the road. Lin Qingyan saw that Er Laizi's face was also injured, and even more seriously than Yi Zhiheng's. This confirmed that Yi Zhiheng was indeed injured yesterday because of a fight with Er Laizi.

So, it's very likely that Yi Zhiheng did this for her sake.

The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt, and the more heartbroken she felt for the child.

When Erlaizi saw her, he instinctively wanted to go up and flirt with her, and also find out what those things on her arms were and whether they were contagious.

But the pain at the root of his nose when he breathed immediately reminded him.

Lin Qingyan was protected by someone. Although that kid wasn't particularly strong and didn't have any martial arts skills, he was just blindly fighting.

But he's reckless when he fights, and he doesn't want to go head-to-head with that guy. The other guy doesn't care about his life, but his life is precious.

In addition, Lin Qingyan is currently surrounded by a group of children, and it's not easy to get things done with too many people around.

So he could only walk over with his head down.

Lin Qingyan and the children arrived at the foot of the mountain. The spot they had visited yesterday had been almost completely cleared, so they chose a different spot today.

It was almost noon, which was also the time when they were about to finish work.

Lin Qingyan not only didn't feel tired, but also felt that it was much better than catching bugs in cotton by herself.

At the foot of the mountain, you can move freely, talk to the children, and enjoy the mountain scenery. It may not be the most pleasant, but at least it's not boring.

She and the children planned to rest for a while before going back. To repay Lin Qingyan for stopping Erhu's bleeding and teaching them about herbs yesterday, Dahu wanted to see if there were any wild fruits around so he could pick some and give them to his sister.

"Sister, I'm going to go take a look over there."

"Okay, just don't go too far, I'll be back in a bit."

"Okay, sister."

After a while, he came back with five or six peaches in his clothes, a grin on his face, and ran up to Lin Qingyan.

"Sister, sister, there's a peach tree over there. I picked several peaches. Sister, you can have some."

Lin Qingyan saw that those were smooth nectarines, only slightly larger than walnuts, and were undoubtedly wild.

When the other children saw Da Hu picking peaches, they wanted some too, and quickly asked Da Hu, "Da Hu, where is that peach tree? We want to pick some too."

"Over there." Da Hu pointed, and the children quickly ran over in a swarm.

Da Hu chuckled and whispered, "Anyway, I've told you where the peach tree is. Whether you can pick them or not is up to you."

When Lin Qingyan heard him say that, she knew that this guy was quite cunning.

"Big Tiger, have you picked all the peaches?"

"Sister, those peaches on that tree have been picked so many times, they're almost all gone. I'm just lucky to have found a few. If I told them the truth, they would have taken the peaches from me. Sister, hurry up and eat them."

He moved the bag forward again.

Lin Qingyan didn't lack these things, but in order not to disappoint Da Hu, she still took one.

"One is enough for my sister."
