Chapter 310: The Flowers in the Deep Forest Are Gone
Qingchuan's words attracted everyone's attention.
He squatted down, looking at the bone lotus that was destroyed beyond recognition, then used his hands to move the nearby weeds that were trampled and bent. His eyes trembled, and he felt very sad, but he remained rational.
"Judging from the nearby trampled weeds, the broken parts haven't wilted yet. This means someone destroyed this place just before Lezhi and I arrived."
Qingchuan stood up and looked at everyone, saying, "Besides, the thing that destroys flowers is so smelly. If you want to destroy all the flowers here, you will definitely be stained with this unpleasant smell. If you want to cover it up, you must leave here and bathe and change clothes. You will definitely have a faint soapy scent on your body, but we haven't washed or changed clothes yet."
Qingchuan looked at Lin Lezhi, his eyes revealing determination and apology, and said, "So, this was not done by Lezhi, and certainly not by any of us."
Qingchuan's words were like a soothing pill and a reassurance, making everyone feel relieved.
Qingchuan's words were extremely valuable both in terms of reason and affection. Not only did they clear his name, but they also showed his trust in him.
To Lin Lezhi, it is extremely precious.
Lin Lezhi looked at Qingchuan, his eyes full of gratitude and said, "Thank you, Qingchuan."
"I'm just telling you the truth. I know you didn't do it, so why should I thank you?" Qingchuan's eyes were filled with guilt. "I should be the one to say sorry. I shouldn't have doubted you, and I shouldn't have been suspicious of your friends for no reason."
"For a cherished friend, it's only natural to be suspicious. There's no need to feel guilty." Lin Lezhi didn't blame him. To dispel Qingchuan's apology, his tone was filled with approval and understanding. "I've said before that if I were you, I would do the same."
Qingchuan is a gentle person and he also saved Lin Lezhi, so Guan Ziheng has a good impression and gratitude towards Qingchuan.
Therefore, although Guan Ziheng was still somewhat dissatisfied in his heart, he did not say anything else. Being suspected was suspicion, and he did not care. As long as Lin Lezhi did not blame them, he would not say anything more.
The atmosphere eased, and Liu Yunhe said, "It's good that the misunderstanding has been explained, but..."
Liu Yunhe looked at the silent Xiao Yihuo, his eyes darkening.
just.
The flowers are ruined.
How to cure the poison in Xiao Yihuo's body? Xiao Yihuo gave the only two remaining pills to others personally.
Because of this, even if the misunderstanding is clarified, no one can be truly happy, and the atmosphere becomes even more heavy.
After a moment of silence, Lin Lezhi broke the silence and said, "Let's go to the other side of the mountain and take a look. Since this flower is blooming here, there may be some on the other side as well."
Lin Lezhi's words gave everyone a glimmer of hope and comfort. They climbed over one side of the cliff and reached the other side.
Can……
The flame of hope that had just ignited was ruthlessly extinguished in an instant.
The bone lotus on the other side was also completely destroyed, with only a few broken white petals left to identify which flower was planted there.
Seeing his hopes dashed again, Liu Yunhe could no longer bear it and punched the surrounding trees. The trees then made rustling sounds and many leaves were shaken off.
Such force frightened Guan Ziheng greatly. Looking at the falling leaves, his Adam's apple rolled up and down.
This is amazing.
Liu Yunhe was filled with anger and dissatisfaction, saying, "This is abominable! Who on earth could have done this?"
Guan Ziheng didn't understand the situation, but he noticed the heavy expressions on everyone's faces. Combined with Lin Lezhi's previous words, he could guess the seriousness of the matter. He felt that his words had been a bit harsh, but he didn't regret it. He asked cautiously, "...Is this thing that was destroyed important to you?"
Although no one responded to Guan Ziheng's words, the more solemn expressions on everyone's faces explained everything.
The heavy atmosphere seems even more depressing and dull in this deep forest shrouded in fog.
Xiao Yihuo had long been accustomed to living with poison, and his face was much calmer, as if he had never held out any hope.
Slow down.
Xiao Yihuo said in a somewhat suppressed voice: "It's getting late, go back and rest early."
After saying that, Xiao Yihuo turned around and went back, but his body, which was ravaged by the poison, could not be as calm as his face showed. He had only taken a few steps when he could no longer maintain his balance and fell down.
"Xiao Xu!"
When Lin Lezhi heard Xiao Yihuo speaking in a suppressed voice, which was exactly the same as the voice he had used in the underground tunnel before, he had already noticed that there was something wrong with Xiao Yihuo's body. Before Xiao Yihuo became unstable, his body moved faster than his consciousness, and he quickly walked to Xiao Yihuo's side and held Xiao Yihuo steady with both hands.
Even in the dim light of the fire lighter, and with Xiao Yihuo facing away from the light, the paleness on his face could not be ignored. The blue veins on his forehead bulged, and a layer of fine water droplets appeared on his forehead. Twisted black lines spread out from Xiao Yihuo's neck.
"Xiao Xu, how are you?"
Seeing this, Lin Lezhi's face and voice were filled with anxiety, his heart was in turmoil, and inexplicable, uneasy and confused emotions intertwined in his heart, climbing and spreading.
How could this be?
Seeing the worry on Lin Lezhi's face, Xiao Yihuo gave Lin Lezhi a reassuring smile, but then when he saw that Lin Lezhi was supporting himself with his hands, his already frowned furrowed even more, but not because of pain.
The incident happened suddenly, and it was someone they cared about. Qingchuan and Liu Yunhe both froze in place for a moment, their eyes filled with shock, before they took a step and hurried to Xiao Yihuo's side.
"I am fine."
To avoid worrying everyone, Xiao Yihuo suppressed the rage within him, his voice as calm as possible, though still trembling. He looked at Lin Lezhi, a sense of guilt rising in his eyes. His eyes shifted slightly, and his tone, solemn and resolute, whispered, "I'm sorry."
After saying this, Xiao Yihuo fainted.
The moment he heard the word "I'm sorry", Lin Lezhi froze in place.
"Lezhi, you are injured, let me do it."
Qingchuan took Xiao Yihuo from Lin Lezhi's hands, and together with Liu Yunhe, he gently put Xiao Yihuo on the ground, leaning his back on Liu Yunhe.
Xiao Yihuo's words of apology caused quite a stir in Lin Lezhi's heart, making it difficult for him to calm down.
The first half of the sentence was to reassure everyone, while the second half was an apology to Lin Lezhi.
When Guan Ziheng saw this scene, a look of fear appeared on his face.
He walked around the three people and came to Lin Lezhi's side, glanced at Lin Lezhi's shoulder, and after confirming from Lin Lezhi's facial expression that Lin Lezhi was fine, his expression eased a little, and his gaze fell on the unconscious Xiao Yihuo.
Although Xiao Yihuo had fainted, the poison raging in his body made his facial expression twisted and his breathing weak and rapid even after he fainted.
Qingchuan took Xiao Yihuo's pulse and unbuttoned his clothes. The black lines spreading across his chest suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"this…!"
Guan Ziheng was so shocked that he was speechless. The expression on his face was no longer just shock, but horror. He only took a glance and dared not look again. He avoided looking, but because he cared, he couldn't help but glance sideways at those black lines.
Lin Lezhi clenched his hands and stared at Xiao Yihuo's chest.
The black lines spreading across his chest were even closer to his heart than last time.
After taking Xiao Yihuo's pulse, Qingchuan's eyes instantly darkened, his expression as cold as the depths of winter, as if bad news was about to arrive. He immediately looked at Liu Yunhe and said urgently, "Yunhe, seal his heart meridian."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yunhe immediately sealed Xiao Yihuo's heart meridian, his eyes full of worry and concern.
in the past……
These things were all caused by Xiao Yihuo himself.
Even someone as calm as Qingchuan was a little flustered and at a loss at this moment. When he took out the medicine bottle from his sleeve and gave it to Xiao Yihuo to take, his hands were shaking and his face looked extremely uneasy.
Qingchuan's expression eased a little when Xiao Yihuo's breathing became calmer, but he still couldn't relax.
"Qingchuan..."
Lin Lezhi called softly. He wanted to know Xiao Yihuo's current condition, but after calling out his name, he didn't know how to start, making the already heavy atmosphere even more awkward.
Qingchuan knew that this matter could no longer be concealed. He looked at Xiao Yihuo with trembling eyes and said, "The poison in Ah Xu's body is becoming more and more frequent."
"..."
Qingchuan looked at Lin Lezhi. Pretending to be calm and rational, he comforted him, "Don't worry, Ah Xu's life is safe for now. Now that things have come to this, let's go back to the inn."
"Ah."
Lin Lezhi responded in a dull voice and nodded.
Liu Yunhe carried Xiao Yihuo on his back, and the three of them walked out of the forest.
"Then...Lezhi, let's go back quickly."
"Ah."
When they were about to leave, Lin Lezhi looked back at the fog, his eyes fixed on a certain spot, as if there was something behind the fog staring at them.
Watching the three people ahead walk further and further away, Guan Ziheng felt that the forest was getting more and more gloomy and creepy. He didn't dare to look at where Lin Lezhi was looking. He only dared to look at Lin Lezhi, his face full of fear and uneasiness as he said, "Lezhi, is there... something over there?"
Lin Lezhi stared for a moment before shifting his serious gaze away. His eyes became even heavier as he said, "It's okay. Let's go back."
Lin Lezhi's words "go back" made Guan Ziheng feel as if he had been pardoned, but there was still anxiety and fear in his eyes. He quickened his pace with Lin Lezhi, followed Qingchuan and his group, and hurriedly left the foggy and strange forest.
