Hearing this, Gao Hongbin stopped the man and said, "Calm down and see if you've forgotten where you put the thing."
"No, I was holding it in my arms all night. It must be them. Look, there's meat residue at the corner of that brat's mouth. If he didn't steal my meat, where did it come from?"
The youngest boy was frightened and started to cry after being yelled at. He wiped his tears with his hands but refused to explain.
Gao Hongbin frowned, his voice cold, "Did you really steal it?"
"Wow~~~Woooo ...
Gao Hongbin was so annoyed. Could he please tell him why he was crying? Was he feeling guilty?
Too lazy to solve the case, I opened the crack in the door and looked outside, only to find that the locusts were still there.
It's another day that I can't travel, and I feel indescribably irritated.
"Sir, please help me. What should I do if I have no food?"
Gao Hongbin was annoyed and said directly: "Whoever stole it should go find him, why are you looking for me?"
As if he had received an imperial decree, the man rushed towards the crying boy with gnashing teeth, punching him in the head, the shoulder, and the stomach.
The action was so quick that many people didn't react.
By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late. The child was beaten to the ground and couldn't get up. The other teenagers rushed forward to tear the man apart, but due to the disparity in strength, it was useless.
The man started kicking the child in the stomach like a demon. Although the exiled prisoners felt sorry for him, they did not go forward to help.
Until Chi Xingyue and Ling Jiheng appeared. One of them kicked the violent man's feet away, and the other slapped the child's face: "How are you? Can you still speak?"
The boy opened his eyes weakly and tried to speak, but he spat out a mouthful of blood.
There was a puddle of filth on the ground. Chi Xingyue, with his sharp eyes, pointed at a half-formed piece and said, "He didn't steal the dried meat, he ate locusts! Look, there are still undigested locust carcasses in his stomach!"
The man was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "Impossible, he just stole my dried meat, he..."
There is no way he would admit that he was wrong, even if he called a horse a zebra, even if he made up a story out of thin air. He was just an orphan, so he could be bullied.
Chen Baiqing still thought he was the unlearned young master of the Chen family's side branch, and he was angry with everyone and had no guilt for his behavior.
Chi Xingyue was so angry that she almost died, but what could she do? Should she kill the person?
Not to mention that she didn't have that ability, even if she did, could she kill someone in front of everyone? Wasn't she afraid of being held accountable later?
Ling Jiheng squeezed the man's shoulders and said, "Even if you want justice, you don't have to be so cruel. What's the difference between you and bullying?"
Besides, they didn't steal. You just spread rumors and ruined people's futures with nothing but empty words. Who gave you the courage, the emperor?
"Do I, Chen Baiqing, need you to teach me how to do things?" Chen Baiqing looked indifferent and spat in the boy's face with disgust.
He cursed: "What a damn bad luck!"
I shrugged my shoulders, but found that I couldn't get free.
He said viciously: "Let go!"
Not only did Ling Jiheng not let go, he squeezed tighter and tighter.
Chen Baiqing couldn't stand it anymore, he screamed "Ah" and raised his hand to hit Ling Jiheng.
Is Ling Jiheng so easy to mess with? He is not like those little brats who have no ability to resist.
"Bang bang bang" the sound of fists hitting Chen Baiqing made Chi Xingyue frightened.
Chi Xingyue just didn't understand. Your property was confiscated and you were exiled. What else could you, the young master of the Chen family's branch branch, be proud of?
As an exiled prisoner, can your status be more valuable than that of a farmer's son?
It’s really mullet roe!
Chi Xingyue ignored the fight and helped the man to a corner. He raised his hand to touch the boy's thin arm and quietly stuffed him with a few maltose.
She knew that these maltose were of no use. With such severe injuries, it was hard to say whether she could survive.
But Chi Xingyue didn't know medicine, so she couldn't accurately judge the man's condition. Besides, she wasn't magnanimous enough to expose her secrets for a stranger.
Therefore, this little bit of kindness is the limit of what she can give.
After beating up Chen Baiqing, Ling Jiheng walked towards the group of teenagers with a gloomy face.
Amid their trembling and grateful gazes, he took out a bag of wolf meat and put it on the ground.
Without saying anything, he quickly walked to Chi Xingyue's side. The two returned to the back door and looked at each other in silence.
Perhaps the atmosphere was too awkward, Chi Xingyue grinned, took off his shoes, and checked how the blisters were healing.
Even after walking for more than ten days, thick calluses still did not form on the soles of her feet.
Fortunately, there was enough stock, and Ling Jiheng covered for her every night. Chi Xingyue treated the injury very well, and there was no inflammation or suppuration.
Look, after a night of rest, delicate skin has grown over the blisters, and the old skin has dried up and is ready to fall off at any time.
After Chi Xingyue applied the ointment again, she threw the thing to Ling Jiheng: "Since we can't travel soon, you should take care of it as well."
Ling Jiheng nodded and took off his smelly shoes.
The pungent smell instantly filled the entire space. Chi Xingyue took a few steps back in disgust, his eyes wide open in horror.
That surprised expression made Young Master Ling blush, and he subconsciously went to put on his shoes.
Chi Xingyue quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay. While we're not rushing, you can let it air out for a while."
It's understandable. There's no water and it's hot. It's not like they're deliberately unhygienic.
Chi Xingyue's thoughtfulness warmed Ling Jiheng's heart. He pursed his lips and opened the door a crack.
Throw your shoes out and leave your feet hanging in the air. There is plenty of space outside, so the smell can dissipate quickly.
Chi Xingyue glanced at the aisle and saw that no one was coming, so he quickly took out two wet wipes and asked the other person to wipe his feet.
Ling Jiheng didn't hesitate to wipe both feet clean before moving them back and checking the situation.
Well, there is a little suppuration. I need to squeeze it out and apply some medicine.
He did it quickly and neatly, and even wrapped it with gauze.
However, in the end, it was wrapped with an outer garment to conceal the true situation inside.
Without the restraints, my feet felt much more comfortable.
After discussing with Chi Xingyue, Ling Jiheng came to the front hall with the medicine: "Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, and Third Uncle, while we are not in a hurry, please take care of your foot injury.
This will prevent inflammation and suppuration later, which will be difficult to treat."
When everyone in the Ling family saw Ling Jiheng barefoot, they were speechless for a moment.
After realizing what was happening, he agreed with a stiff smile: "Haha, it's time to take care of it. I've been walking for more than ten days, and my feet are ripped. It's better to be ripped. My socks are stuck to the soles of my feet."
As the old man spoke, he took off his shoes and socks that smelled so bad. The bloody soles of his feet made people's scalps tingle.
Ling Weicheng, the biological son of the old man and the old lady, immediately knelt forward to help treat the wound.
If there's no water, use saliva. Saliva has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. We're all family, so there's no need to be mean to each other.
