His gaze shifted to the hair. "What happened to this hair? Did you burn your hair while tending the fire?"
Then she turned to Xie Li's clothes, "Why are you wearing long sleeves and pants in this hot weather? Didn't I leave you two dresses in the closet?"
Xie Li subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face, "This can't be washed off yet, the earliest I can do it is tomorrow..."
That feeling of being unable to communicate at all stuck in Ding Huizhu's heart again.
Why can't you understand human language? Or do you think she looks like a fairy even though she looks like a ghost?
Ding Huizhu frowned, her voice becoming somewhat stern: "Xie Li! I don't care what strange feudal superstitions your mountain village has, but this is the Xie family home!"
"Girls should act like girls!"
"If you make yourself look like a monster, you'll only bring shame to the Xie family and me!"
It wasn't until she met Xie Li's clear gaze that Ding Huizhu realized she had lost her composure.
The girl seemed to suddenly realize, "Oh, so you think I embarrassed you."
These words were so direct that Ding Huizhu didn't know how to respond, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Fortunately, at that moment, Aunt Wan came over to report: "Madam, Assistant Xie has arrived."
Ding Huizhu composed herself before remembering that she had asked Sister Wan to call Xie Shiyou and ask him to come over and handle some matters.
So he said casually, "Go ahead and do your own thing."
He turned and left with Sister Wan.
After Xie Li waited until she was far away, she cautiously lifted her sleeve to look at her wrist, looking somewhat worried.
She said she couldn't leave Tiandu Mountain so soon, but Xie Shiyou kept urging her. She couldn't fully recover in a short time. What could she do?
Sigh, what a worry.
——
Inside the study.
Ding Huizhu sipped her tea, her expression indifferent: "Assistant Xie, please tell me in detail about the situation at Tiandu Mountain this time."
Xie Shiyou's head was still wrapped in gauze, but Ding Huizhu didn't even ask him a question. Xie Shiyou immediately knew that something was wrong.
Yesterday, he tried to contact Ding Huizhu to report the situation, but Ding Huizhu ignored him, which made him very uneasy, suspecting that Xie Li had secretly complained about him behind his back.
The current situation seems to have been confirmed to some extent.
However, even if Xie Li complained, he was not afraid.
He then quickly recounted what he had seen and heard on Tiandu Mountain, and then said thoughtfully, "When I went to Shenjia Village, I found that Miss Xie Li did not usually live in the village, but lived alone on the mountain."
"I don't know what happened, but Miss Xie Li seems to have burns. There's so much ointment on her face and all over her body..."
Ding Huizhu sipped her tea, her brow twitching slightly.
All she knew was that Xie Li had a green face and hair that looked like it had been chewed by a dog, making him look like a weirdo. It turned out he had been burned.
For a moment, I didn't know what to feel.
No matter how much Xie Li upset her, he was still a piece of her flesh. A girl's body can't be hurt in the slightest; if she has a scar, it will be terrible.
She immediately became restless, but fortunately Xie Shiyou said, "Madam, Miss Ziyuan asked about Miss Xie Li's situation yesterday, and I inadvertently mentioned it..."
Upon hearing Xie Ziyuan's name, Ding Huizhu frowned, somewhat annoyed that Xie Shiyou was being nosy.
Xie Shiyou continued, "Miss Ziyuan was very worried and specially arranged for a mid-level muscle-regenerating pill to be sent over by private jet."
As he spoke, he flipped his wrist and took out a delicate little wooden box. He opened it, and inside, white jade pills were emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.
It really is an intermediate-level muscle-regenerating pill!
Aunt Wan clicked her tongue in amazement: "Miss Ziyuan is really generous..."
