Chapter 56: Searching

After stepping out of that heavy door, Jiang Xianchuan immediately strode out, hurrying in the direction Li Lingyu had left.

In reality, he wasn’t very confident about finding Li Lingyu, after all, Li Lingyu might have already gone far, or hidden in some unknown corner.

But a voice in the depths of Jiang Xianchuan’s heart kept echoing: he absolutely couldn’t let Li Lingyu go so easily! Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he had to try to find him.

At the same time, Shi Yi, on the other side, although her heart was filled with sadness and loss, she was not defeated by this negative emotion.

On the contrary, she quickly adjusted her mentality with astonishing speed and broke free from that painful emotion. Because she knew very well that the most important thing at the moment was not to immerse herself in sadness, but to take action as soon as possible.

After careful consideration, Shi Yi decided to first find out who had the biggest opinions about Li Lingyu, and who was spreading those rumors about Li Lingyu everywhere.

With this clear goal in mind, Shi Yi started looking for relevant clues non-stop, and finally set her sights on Qi Xiaoyao.

When she met Qi Xiaoyao, Shi Yi went straight to the point and explained her purpose. Faced with Shi Yi’s request, Qi Xiaoyao couldn’t help but frowned slightly, and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: “Do you actually need to come to me for help with such a trivial matter?”

Hearing this, Shi Yi stared at Qi Xiaoyao with a firm gaze, and responded: “That’s right, that’s exactly the case. My strength alone is too small, and there are many people in the camp. Without your assistance, I’m afraid it will be difficult to complete this task.”

Seeing Shi Yi’s resolute attitude, Qi Xiaoyao remained silent for a moment, and finally nodded, indicating his willingness to provide assistance. However, he also requested that Shi Yi tell him the reason why she was so persistent.

Shi Yi took a deep breath, and then replied solemnly: “I want to make those guys who spread rumors understand that fabricating lies and gossiping also requires paying a heavy price!”

“Ahhhhh, Li Lingyu, when I find you, I will definitely tear you into pieces and grind your bones into ashes!” At this moment, Jiang Xianchuan was on the verge of collapse. He had been wandering around on this intricate road like a headless fly for a long time, but he still hadn’t found any clues about Li Lingyu.

Not only that, he hadn’t even caught a glimpse of Li Lingyu along the way, but those creepy zombies emerged one after another like a tide.

While struggling to avoid the zombies’ attacks, Jiang Xianchuan anxiously searched for Li Lingyu’s whereabouts.

Just then, he suddenly noticed a pool of shocking blood on the ground not far ahead. His heart tightened, and he hurriedly walked forward and squatted down to examine it carefully. The pool of blood hadn’t dried yet, and it was obviously left not long ago.

Jiang Xianchuan reached out his finger and gently wiped the blood on the ground. A warm and sticky sensation came from his fingertip. He frowned tightly and thought to himself: This blood is so fresh, presumably this person should have just left here not long ago, and judging from the amount of blood, this person seems to be seriously injured.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xianchuan couldn’t help but think of Li Lingyu, who was injured in the chest. Could it be that he was attacked by zombies here, causing the wound that hadn’t healed to rupture again?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xianchuan didn’t dare to delay at all, and immediately followed the faint bloodstains and walked quickly. Along the way, his heart was tightly tugged, fearing that he would be one step too late, leading to irreversible consequences.

Before long, a wide lawn appeared ahead. Jiang Xianchuan slowed down and approached cautiously, as if afraid of disturbing something.

When he finally saw the scene in front of him clearly, his whole body froze on the spot as if struck by lightning. He saw Li Lingyu lying lifelessly in the grass, his body covered with large and small, crisscrossing wounds, and blood was constantly seeping out, staining the grass beneath him red.

And his originally strong and powerful body had become extremely weak at this moment, and his breathing was extremely weak, as if it could be extinguished at any time like a candle in the wind.

Jiang Xianchuan only felt a stabbing pain in his heart, and his eyes instantly moistened. Without time to think, he ran over in three steps and two steps, squatted down and carefully checked Li Lingyu’s injuries. “Lingyu, what’s wrong?” Jiang Xianchuan called softly with a trembling voice.

Hearing the familiar voice, Li Lingyu struggled to open his heavy eyelids, barely squeezed out a smile, and said in a hoarse voice: “I… I’m fine, don’t worry, it’s just that the wound… accidentally opened…” However, his pale face and weak words made this so-called “fine” seem so pale and powerless.

Jiang Xianchuan was both anxious and angry, and tears rolled down uncontrollably. “You call this fine? You’re still pretending when you’re injured like this! I really don’t want to care about you anymore!”

Despite saying that, he quickly took out various medicines and bandages from his space and started bandaging Li Lingyu in a flustered but extremely serious manner. Every movement was filled with deep concern and worry, for fear of hurting the other party.

“Don’t leave me alone…” Li Lingyu murmured weakly, slowly propping himself up, looking at Jiang Xianchuan’s angry face with blurred eyes.

Jiang Xianchuan was clenching his teeth tightly, his cheeks slightly bulging, and the veins on his forehead were bulging, obviously trying his best to suppress the urge to punch Li Lingyu hard in his heart.

“Why did you sneak away from the camp?” Jiang Xianchuan squeezed these words out from between his teeth, suppressing his anger.

Li Lingyu lowered his head, not daring to look at Jiang Xianchuan, and murmured: “I don’t want them to talk about you…”

Hearing this answer, Jiang Xianchuan was stunned for a moment, and then couldn’t help but laugh out of anger, “Haha, you are so ridiculous! Don’t you know? I don’t care about those gossips at all!”

“I know, but I care.” Li Lingyu raised his head, looked at Jiang Xianchuan with firm eyes, and a hint of stubbornness seemed to flash in those clear eyes.

Seeing this, Jiang Xianchuan punched his fist in anger, and lightly smashed it towards Li Lingyu’s head without thinking, muttering in his mouth: “Ahhhhh, you guy, you’re really going to kill me! Let’s go, let’s go, hurry back to the camp with me, I want to see who is so bold that they dare to gossip behind my back, I have to teach him a lesson, I have to beat his stinky mouth to pieces!”

Li Lingyu was taken aback by Jiang Xianchuan’s sudden action, and subconsciously shrank his neck, but soon came back to his senses, and asked with a puzzled face: “Why are you here?”

“Why am I here? Hmph, of course I came out to find you!” Jiang Xianchuan rolled his eyes unhappily, and said with his hands on his hips.

Hearing this, Li Lingyu couldn’t help but froze, and after a while, he murmured as if waking up from a dream: “Looking for me?”

“Yes, that’s right, I’m here to find you! You ran away without saying a word, which made everyone anxious. Not only me, but even Shi Yi is looking for your whereabouts everywhere in the camp. As a result, you didn’t find any trace of you in every corner!” The more Jiang Xianchuan said, the more excited he became, and his voice unconsciously increased by eight degrees.

“Don’t be angry, okay?” “I’m not angry, I’m not angry…” Jiang Xianchuan was trying his best to comfort himself at the moment, and Li Lingyu immediately hugged Jiang Xianchuan when he saw this, “I was wrong, don’t be angry, okay?” Seeing him like this, Jiang Xianchuan was a little helpless, “No next time, if there is, I will ignore you for the rest of my life.” “Okay, I will listen to you from now on.”

Jiang Xianchuan carefully checked the shocking wounds on Li Lingyu’s body. His eyebrows were tightly frowned, and his eyes were full of concern and worry. He asked anxiously: “Who is so cruel to hurt you like this?”

After hearing Jiang Xianchuan’s question, Li Lingyu just lowered his head silently, without saying a word.

He thought to himself, how could he tell the truth about this kind of thing? Could it be that he should tell Jiang Xianchuan that these injuries were actually deliberately inflicted by himself? Thinking of this, Li Lingyu couldn’t help but sigh secretly.

It turned out that he went to the farm this morning to get some important supplies first. However, when he came out of the farm, he happened to see Jiang Xianchuan looking for himself everywhere.

So, a strange idea came to his mind – he wanted to test whether Jiang Xianchuan really cared about him.

In this way, he quietly followed behind Jiang Xianchuan, and when the other party didn’t pay attention, he used a pre-prepared sharp weapon to scratch himself, and then carefully arranged bloodstains along the way.

At this moment, facing Jiang Xianchuan’s increasingly urgent questioning, Li Lingyu remained silent. Seeing this, Jiang Xianchuan became even more anxious, and his voice unconsciously increased a few points: “Tell me quickly!”

Finally, Li Lingyu seemed to have made up his mind, hesitated for a moment, and slowly said: “I don’t know, I should have been attacked.”

After hearing these words, Jiang Xianchuan couldn’t help but snorted coldly, his anger overflowing: “Hmph! How dare someone attack you? It’s simply courting death! Don’t worry, no matter how much it costs, I will help you find this hateful murderer!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xianchuan carefully helped Li Lingyu up, and walked slowly towards the camp step by step.

Along the way, his eyes never left Li Lingyu’s wounds, and at the same time, he silently prayed in his heart, praying to God to bless Li Lingyu’s injuries not to be too serious, and to recover as soon as possible.

After returning to the camp, Shi Yi rushed out like a gust of wind to meet them. Her originally delicate face was now full of worry and shock: “Why are you so seriously injured? What happened?” As she spoke, she and another person carefully helped Li Lingyu, and walked staggeringly towards where Lin Pianyue was.

When Lin Pianyue saw Li Lingyu’s appearance with his body full of scars and bloodstains, she couldn’t help but frowned. She stared at those hideous cuts, and fell into deep thought for a while.

After a moment, she raised her head and said to Shi Yi and Jiang Xianchuan, “Brother, Shi Yi, you guys go out and wait first. Leave it to me here. I need to perform surgery on him.”

Hearing this, although the two were still a little uneasy, they still slowly withdrew from the room as they were told, and gently closed the door. Only Lin Pianyue and Li Lingyu were left in the room.

Lin Pianyue cast her gaze on Li Lingyu again, and sighed softly: “You, you always don’t cherish yourself like this. It’s fine if you hurt yourself, but this time it’s so serious! Hasn’t he figured it out yet?” Li Lingyu shook his head with a wry smile, and said with a hint of bitterness in his voice: “No… For him, maybe I’m just an ordinary friend…”

Looking at Li Lingyu’s frustrated expression, Lin Pianyue couldn’t help but smiled slightly.

She skillfully began to treat Li Lingyu’s wounds, while also imparting some love experience to him: “Listen to your sister, in the future, you have to learn to create opportunities for yourself to have more intimate contact with him. For example, when you accidentally get injured, you can deliberately pretend to be weak and pitiful, and let him take care of you; or occasionally pretend to be drunk, and then take the opportunity to lean on him. Such small tricks can often have unexpected effects.”

Li Lingyu stood there quietly, listening carefully to every word Lin Pianyue said, and when he heard the methods she said, a trace of doubt gradually appeared on his originally calm face, and he couldn’t help but frowned and asked softly: “Can this really work? Why do I feel like it’s a bit unreliable…”

However, facing Li Lingyu’s doubts, Lin Pianyue seemed particularly confident. She slightly raised her chin, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and nodded firmly to Li Lingyu, and replied decisively: “Trust me! This method is definitely effective, men, they all eat this!”

After listening to Lin Pianyue’s confident words, Li Lingyu was silent for a moment, as if repeatedly thinking in his mind whether what she said was feasible.

Finally, he seemed to have figured something out, and nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he was willing to try the plan proposed by Lin Pianyue.
