Cheng Jiu followed Xiao Huan through the hall and corridor, and soon they came to an old utility room on the side of the inner courtyard.
Xiaohuan pushed open the door of the utility room and said to Cheng Jiu: "Brother Cheng, please wait here. I will be back soon!"
"Here?" Cheng Jiu curiously put his upper body into the room.
At this moment, Cheng Jiu felt the light beside him dim and fade away. When he looked back, it turned out that Xiao Huan had already walked away quickly with the lantern.
"Xiaohuan...Xiaohuan..."
Cheng Jiu wanted to call Xiao Huan, but Xiao Huan was already far away. If he shouted loudly, he might attract others' attention, so Cheng Jiu had to stop calling and stayed there helplessly waiting.
Xiao Huan hurried back to the inner courtyard and arrived at Situ Jing's room in the shortest possible time.
Before Xiao Huan could push the door open and enter the house, Situ Jing opened the door first.
"Miss!" Xiaohuan walked too hastily, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Situ Jing let Xiaohuan into the room and asked with concern: "Where did he go? Why did he come back so late?"
Xiaohuan said anxiously: "Miss, let's talk about this later. Brother Cheng's wound is bleeding again and his coat is soaked red. Let's go and bandage him quickly, miss..."
"What? Bleeding again?" Situ Jing's heart was in doubt as soon as he heard this. He immediately had the urge to go, but he was worried: "But it's so late now. If we go there, we might be seen by others.
....."
Xiaohuan immediately cut off the conversation and said: "Miss, I have brought Brother Cheng here, and he is in the utility room outside the hospital now!"
"Ah?" Situ Jing couldn't help being shocked: "Xiaohuan, how can you...how can you do this? You are too courageous. Bring him here. If someone sees him, then
I don’t know what bad words to say again..."
Xiaohuan thought she had done nothing wrong, and said with a hint of pity: "Miss, you stay in the room, and I will help Brother Cheng bandage the wound alone. I will be back soon..."
With that said, Xiao Huan ran to look for hemostatic medicine and bandaging cloth.
Ever since Cheng Jiu was injured, Situ Jing had prepared some medicine and bandages in his room in case of emergencies.
Soon, Xiaohuan took all the things and packed them into a small bundle, then turned back and prepared to leave the room.
The moment Xiaohuan was about to go out, Situ Jing stopped her: "Xiaohuan, I'd better go with you!"
Xiaohuan immediately stopped, turned around and said happily: "I knew it!"
Situ Jing shook her head helplessly, went to blow out the candles in the room, and then left with Xiao Huan.
The two women did not go directly out of the inner courtyard to find Cheng Jiu. Instead, they went around to take a look outside Situ Zhou's room. When they saw that the room was completely dark, they walked out of the courtyard with confidence.
On the way out, Situ Jing also took an extra lantern. She was worried that it wouldn't be bright enough when dressing Cheng Jiu's wound later, so she could just use it.
In the blink of an eye, the two women tiptoed out of the inner courtyard and headed to the utility room on the side.
Cheng Jiu was sitting at the door of the utility room when he suddenly heard movement in the distance. He turned around and saw that Situ Jing and Xiao Huan were coming this way carrying lanterns.
Cheng Jiu immediately stood up and waited for the two of them to approach.
The two women came to Cheng Jiu carrying lanterns. The first thing Situ Jing saw was the big footprints on Cheng Jiu's chest, and she immediately became nervous.
"Cheng Jiu, you...who kicked you?" Situ Jing asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Cheng Jiu had already patted the footprints on his chest vigorously while waiting for others, but the mud prints were too deep and it was impossible to just pat them vigorously.
Cheng Jiu saved his face and said, "It's okay! That guy was even worse. I beat him until he didn't even recognize his mother!"
While saying this, Cheng Jiu also secretly vowed in his heart that he would find an opportunity in the future to beat that man named Lando into a pig's head!
Xiaohuan saw the two of them standing at the door and started talking, so he hurriedly reminded: "Miss, Brother Cheng, let's go in and talk..."
So, the three of them entered the utility room...
After Xiaohuan closed the door of the utility room, he began to find something to block the window and door cracks in order to block the light to the greatest extent and reduce the chance of being discovered.
Taking advantage of this time, Situ Jing took the baggage from Xiaohuan and looked at Cheng Jiu with a worried expression: "Take off your clothes quickly and show me the wound..."
"I told you, I'm fine..." Cheng Jiu said while moving his body to show that he was really fine.
Situ Jing had a sullen face and said unhappily: "It doesn't count if you say it's okay. I have to see it before it counts. Hurry up..."
Cheng Jiu had no choice but to obediently take off his shirt piece by piece. Situ Jing stood aside and suddenly his face became hot and red, and he turned his head shyly.
Soon Cheng Jiu took off his clothes and turned around to see Situ Jing burying his head in shyness. A smile appeared on his lips.
At this moment, Situ Jing's face turned around, and the two sets of eyes instantly connected. In an instant, Situ Jing felt that her whole body was getting hot.
At this time, Xiaohuan had already blocked the windows tightly. When he turned around and saw the young lady in a daze of shame, she hurriedly shouted: "Miss, what are you doing?"
"Ah?" Situ Jing suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly went to untie the baggage in his hand, saying in embarrassment: "No, no... what didn't I do..."
In fact, Xiaohuan's heartbeat secretly accelerated when she saw the shirtless Cheng Jiu, but she tried hard to maintain her composure.
Next, the two women began to help Cheng Jiu treat the wound on his back. Xiaohuan was responsible for holding two lanterns to provide lighting, and Situ Jing was responsible for applying medicine and bandaging.
While Situ Jing was busy, she reproached distressedly: "You asked me to tell you what you are good at! You are still injured and you are not being honest. I don't know how many more days it will take to do this!"
Cheng Jiu said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm a thick-skinned person like me, I'll be fine in a few days, hehe..."
Situ Jing said disapprovingly: "If you were really thick-skinned and thick-skinned, you wouldn't have been cut like this!"
Xiaohuan asked curiously: "Brother Cheng, who kicked you in the chest?"
Xiaohuan was very confused. With Cheng Jiu's skill, someone could hit him with such a strong kick. He must not be an ordinary person!
Cheng Jiu was embarrassed to tell the truth, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know him, he's just a drunkard!"
"Why did he kick you?" Xiaohuan asked again.
"I said he was a drunkard. How could I know what he was thinking!" Seeing Xiaohuan always asking about this matter, Cheng Jiu felt a little anxious.
Situ Jing noticed something strange and said, "Xiaohuan, don't ask anymore. If he wants to say something, he will naturally say it. If he doesn't want to say it, asking is in vain!"
"Oh!" Xiaohuan responded and stopped asking further.
After a while, Situ Jing gently patted Cheng Jiu's arm and said: "Raise your hands..."
Cheng Jiu immediately raised his hands, and Situ Jing began to wrap a bandage around him, one after another, very carefully.
This attentiveness and tenderness immediately deeply moved Cheng Jiu. From birth to now, apart from his parents, only Situ Jing was so kind to him.
Soon, Situ Jing wrapped the bandage and tied it into a strong knot. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, put your hands down..."
Cheng Jiu put down his hands and turned around to look at Situ Jing, as if he was hesitant to speak.
However, Situ Jing didn't notice his expression and was still carefully checking the bandages on his body.
It wasn't until Situ Jing raised his head to look at Cheng Jiu's face that Cheng Jiu said, "Situ Jing, I... I'd better tell you the truth..."
