Chapter 25 (1/2)
“Jingxuan, how did you get a man back?”
With the help of the younger brother Ling Jingpeng, two brothers spent all their strength and finally got the man back home. This man was full of cuts all over his body, but all were not deep, should be some scratches when fighting the wolf. The only fatal wound was the head bumps. Ling Jingxuan help him apply the wound with mashed herba agrimoniae and stop the bleeding, and wrapped it with a cloth and then processed other wounds respectively. As Ling Chenglong and his wife heard that Jingxuan had saved a man, they dropped their work at hand and hurried over. Before they got into the yard, voice came in already.
“Don’t ask me. The two little buns insisted saving him.”
Ling Jingxuan who was dealing with herbs in the yard rascally shrugged his shoulders, decisively shifting all the responsibilities to the two buns.
“Look at you. What do they know?”
Mercilessly staring at him, Lady Wang was about to cross over him to go in, Ling Lingxuan took big strides and stood in the way, “Mother, nothing inside to see, he is still in a coma, after he wakes up, I’ll let him go, OK?”
If they saw that man’s face, he wouldn’t be able to explain it even if he got mouths all over his body.
“I just want to check on him, Jingpeng said he is badly injured, what if he dies in your…”
As she spoke, Lady Wang’s eyes grew red again, and the eldest son finally went back to his normal state and ignored all the gossip. If it was known that a man had died in his place, what would people say in the village? What would happen to the children if he were gone?
The more she thought, the more worried, and she could not help wiping her tears, next to her, Ling Chenlong obviously also held the same worry.
“Mother, come on, if he really would die, do you think I would bring him home?”
Seeing this, Ling Jingxuan hurriedly explained. He knew it would be like this, five years ago that thing had let the family become like a frightened bird. Even a tiny thing would let them panic for a long time. If it had been other people, to save people was a good thing. Why care so much?
“That let us go take a look. Jingxuan, we are old. We can’t afford any more blows.”
“But…”
It was not that Ling Jingxuan did not want to let them in, but the man’s face was too much like the two little buns’. If they saw him, god knows what they would think of him. That damn bastard, can he do something else except making him trouble?
At this moment, Ling Jingxuan decisively shifted the hatred on someone.
“What’s the matter? Is he ashamed?”
His refusal was so obvious, the old couple were not fools. How would they not see it? To this end, Lady Wang’s tone became a bit sharp, looking at their son with naked suspicion.
“No, it’s just…”
For the first time in his life, Ling Jingxuan could not help but feel awkward to open his mouth, unconsciously avoiding their exploring eyes. After quite a while, he bit his teeth and said, “Dad, mom, you promise me, no matter what you see later, don’t make a noise, before the thing is made clear, I don’t want to frighten the two children.”
Forget it! Sooner or later it would be exposed. So why not let it come earlier?
