Xia Sanghuan returned to her room. First, she changed the dressing on her shoulder, then she changed her clothes and packed her luggage.
After hesitating for a moment, she still decided to go and check on Xia Anying's room.
Although the girl was currently tied up with ropes, Xia Sanghuan still felt a bit wary.
She looked around the room, then picked up a handy wooden stick from the ground.
She first pushed the door open a tiny crack and peeked inside.
Just like last night, Xia Anying was lying straight on the bed without any movement.
Seeing this, the girl's heart started pounding. She was afraid that Xia Anying might be dead.
She put her finger under Xia Anying's nose. After feeling her steady breathing, the girl let out a sigh of relief.
"Get up."
She shook Xia Anying, who had her eyes closed. She wasn't sure if Xia Anying was really sleeping.
The person on the bed slowly opened her eyes, but her eyes were unfocused. She looked dull and silly.
The girl rubbed her temples and started thinking about what to do next.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Do you need any help?"
It was Leng Chuanjin.
"Second brother."
The girl turned around and called out to him.
The man walked in from outside and stood beside her.
"Can she still move?"
He pointed at Xia Anying.
"I don't know."
The girl shook her head.
"Then I'll clean up here first."
As the man said this, he started to act.
Thankfully, Xia Anying had only used some bedding last night. She hadn't taken out any other personal items, not even new clothes.
This also made the man feel a bit less burdened.
While the second brother was packing Xia Anying's luggage, Xia Sanghuan untied the hemp rope on her sister's hands.
Her wrists were already red and swollen. In some places, the skin was even rubbed off.
The girl bit her lower lip, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart.
"Can you move?"
She helped Xia Anying sit up, then placed her legs off the bed.
Xia Anying stared blankly at her for a moment, then slowly stood up under her guidance. She seemed quite steady on her feet.
After making sure that Xia Anying's movements weren't restricted, the girl finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yun Ye is here."
The man finished packing the luggage and took out his phone to check.
"He's right at the door."
Xia Sanghuan was in charge of helping Xia Anying, while the man carried the luggage.
With the help of Yun Ye and his assistant, Xia Anying and the luggage all got into the car smoothly.
"Next is my room."
The girl looked back at the rest house.
It was still early, and the staff at the rest house hadn't arrived yet.
The so - called staff were actually the elderly villagers who were in poor health and couldn't work in the fields.
Moreover, there were originally few tourists coming to Qingshan Slope, and it was winter now, so there was no such thing as a on - duty staff.
However, this gave them some time.
Yun Ye followed them to the room where Xia Sanghuan had stayed last night. As soon as he entered, he was attracted by the bloodstains on the bed and the glass shards on the ground.
"What happened here..."
He walked in slowly.
He had wanted to ask when he saw Xia Anying, but the expressions of Young Master Leng and Miss Xia were so serious at that time that he swallowed his question back.
"I'll explain the details to you when we get back. Now, help me clean up the bloodstains first."
Leng Chuanjin put on a pair of rubber gloves and threw another pair to him.
He motioned for the girl to stand at the door. He and Yun Ye would handle the rest.
He took out an alcohol spray bottle, sprayed it on the dried blood clots, and then started cleaning.
Yun Ye squatted down and was in charge of sweeping up the glass shards on the ground.
Last night, the scene was so chaotic that Xia Sanghuan's blood had splashed everywhere. Even the sleeve of the man's sweater had some blood on it.
The girl had no tools, so she could only stand at the door as told.
Since she had nothing to do, she might as well start thinking about how to arrange Xia Anying after they got back.
The first thing must be to go to her school to submit an application for suspension.
But where should she put her?
She bit her lower lip and got tangled up.
If she put Xia Anying in the Fu family's house, not to mention how much she would need to explain to her father, and besides, she didn't live in the Fu family's house usually. She definitely couldn't rest assured leaving Xia Anying there alone.
If she put her in the Leng family's house...
She looked up at the man who was concentrating on cleaning the bloodstains.
Would the second brother agree?
Just as her brain was running at full speed, Leng Chuanjin's feet suddenly went weak, and his body suddenly tilted and fell onto the bed.
The girl was startled and quickly walked over to help him up.
"Second brother, are you okay?"
She looked at him anxiously and found that his face was a bit red.
"I'm fine, you..."
Before the man could stand up, a slightly cool hand touched his forehead.
"You have a fever."
The girl's voice sank.
"You should rest first. I'll finish the rest."
He wanted to say that he wasn't that delicate, but the next second, he was pressed onto a chair by her.
Xia Sanghuan snatched the tools from his hand and completed the rest of his work.
"Miss Xia, this thing..."
While cleaning under the bed, Yun Ye felt a knife.
It was the knife that Xia Anying had used to kill her last night.
Although the matter was over, when the girl saw the knife, she still couldn't help but feel a shiver down her spine.
"Put it away. Don't touch the blade."
She reminded him.
"This thing is not safe anywhere."
"We need to take it back together."
Yun Ye wrapped the knife with a handkerchief as told, then put it into the box that contained the glass shards.
By the time they finished cleaning everything up, the on - duty old man had come.
They briefly explained the situation to him and left a large sum of money as compensation for the damaged bed board.
"Second brother, slow down."
Xia Sanghuan helped Leng Chuanjin into the car and then got in with him.
Just to be on the safe side, Xia Anying sat in the car driven by Yun Ye, while they sat in the car driven by the assistant.
The man closed his eyes as soon as he got in the car. His mind was all muddled, as if his consciousness was floating in the sea.
As the car bumped along, he almost fell several times.
The girl had no choice but to rest his head on her uninjured shoulder.
His forehead was very hot, and even his breath was hot.
Maybe feeling the girl's cool body temperature, he unconsciously leaned closer to her.
"Hold on. We'll be home soon."
Hearing the man's painful groans, she comforted him softly.
Her luggage, including the first - aid kit, was in Yun Ye's car. Otherwise, she could have given him some fever - reducing medicine to make him feel better.
Since she had studied medicine since childhood and had lived in the countryside, she never thought that having a fever was a big deal.
It was just a matter of taking some medicine, sleeping, and getting over it.
However, seeing Leng Chuanjin like this today, her heart seemed to be on fire.
