Chapter 39: Bruises and Injuries

  Although Huang Mao was constantly instigating, Gao Yunliang still had some trepidation. Normally playing a different kind of game, bullying the weak, one is to save face, two is to show off and attract attention, completely behavior that has not yet shaken off the influence of youth, but it does not represent him as a fool, he understands things a little bit.

  He usually doesn't lack money to spend, and if he really wants to mix with these ruthless people who kill for financial gain, he knows his own weight. He can still boss around his underlings in his usual manner, but in front of those who can do anything, he might be nothing. After all, his uncle can't be an official forever, and he doesn't want to live a life of licking blood off knives and being on edge all the time, because it's completely unnecessary.

  It's crucial that if his aunt's husband were to find out, he would be skinned alive.

  Gao Yunliang refused Huang Mao's words with an air of his own, not wanting to rely on his uncle's face. Huang Mao looked at his crushed hand and flashed anger in his eyes, but he had no choice and followed Gao Yunliang out of the bathroom.

  It was late at night, and Lin Zile had just finished his qigong practice in the dark room when he suddenly heard a commotion coming from downstairs.

  The vigilance hidden in his body suddenly burst out, and he thought something was wrong. Several shiny cow hair needles popped out from his waistband and flew out of the door like a gust of wind, flipping over directly from the third floor staircase to the second floor staircase. His body was as agile and light as a monkey, without making any sound. He quickly flashed past with his body close to the wall.

  He rushed into the living room on the second floor and was immediately stunned. The whole room was filled with a vibrant atmosphere that couldn't be hidden.

  Liu Yanzi and Qin Yue wore thin nightdresses, their curves sleek. Zhang Beibei was even more unbearable, her body dripping wet, simply wrapped in a jacket, seemingly without even wearing underwear, the girl's firm white thighs exposed to the air, leaning against the sofa with her torso fully visible, the wet clothes clinging to her chest, two bright red points standing out.

  Lin Zi suddenly appeared quietly, and everyone hadn't noticed yet. Zhang BeiBei, who was lying on the sofa, was the first to discover him. She let out a sudden scream, clamped her legs together, and covered her chest.

  Liu Yanzi and Qin Yue were also startled, the former directly grabbed the back cushion of the sofa and hit it over, scolding: "Pervert!"

  At once, all the upstairs and downstairs were startled, with sounds of opening doors, running footsteps, going down stairs, and coming up stairs following one after another.

  Lin Zi's hand quietly returned the cow hair needle to his waistband, lowered his head and weakly turned around, allowing several pillows to hit him without retaliating or speaking back.

  Li Mingcheng running up from downstairs and Tong Yunan running down from upstairs almost met him at the same time on the stair corner.

  Tong Yunan looked at him with a strange expression, Li Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, then thought of Liu Yanzi's voice calling "pervert", and immediately his eyes widened, waving his big fist to hit him on the spot.

  Lin Zixian swung his hand and pushed out a palm at the opponent's chest, Li Mingcheng immediately stumbled backward and hit the wall.

  "I knew you were no good from a long time ago!" Li Mingcheng's eyes turned red, and he rushed over, shouting loudly, ready to fight Lin Zixian to the death.

  Lin Zixian smiled wryly, this misunderstanding had gotten out of hand. He reached out to grab the incoming fist, pulled it to his side, and used the momentum to pin the other person's arm, pressing him against the wall. Li Mingcheng struggled with all his might, but he couldn't break free, so he shouted: "Rain sister, call the police, call the police!"

  Lin Zi turned his head and looked at Tong Yunan's face, which still had a sleepy expression, and sighed: "Misunderstanding!"

  Tong Yunan was stunned, just about to walk into the living room to see what's going on, when Liu Yanzhi had already put on a piece of clothing and walked out, seeing Lin Zixian pinning Li Mingcheng against the wall, she frowned and said: "What are you guys doing?"

  Seeing her acting as if nothing had happened, Li Mingcheng's face stuck to the wall, exclaimed: "Yanzi, didn't you just shout 'pervert'?"

  Lin Zi Xian opened up to them, spreading his hands and saying: "I just happened to be going downstairs, heard them shouting and screaming, thought something had happened, rushed in, who knew I saw their disheveled clothes, immediately turned around and came out... really didn't take a closer look"

  Qin Yue also put on a set of clothes and walked out to greet everyone, saying: "Bei Bei slipped and sprained her foot while taking a bath, let's all help send her to the hospital!"

  Misunderstanding cleared up, everyone immediately came to the living room. At this time, Zhang Beibei had already put on her skirt, and one of her white ankles had become red and swollen, just a moment ago, it was swollen like a bun.

  Tong Yunan picked up a towel to help Zhang Beibei wipe her wet hair, saying "How can you be so careless?"

  "Li Mingcheng, what are you staring at? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman's legs before? Hurry up and go send Beibei to the hospital!" Liu Yanzhi yelled.

  Li Mingcheng awkwardly responded with an "oh" and turned to leave. Lin Zixian, however, waved his hand and said, "It's just a minor injury, no need to go to the hospital for something so troublesome."

  Several people looked at him together, Qin Yue frowned and said: "It's so swollen now, I'm afraid it's not a light injury!"

  "If you don't mind, I'll take a look." As soon as the words left his mouth, he found that everyone was staring at him with strange eyes. Lin Zixian quickly explained: "No other meaning, I know how to treat sprains and bruises, can help Beibei take a look, if it's really not possible, then send her to the hospital."

  Qin Yue looked at Zhang Bei and said: "Then let him help you take a look?" The latter nodded slightly, which was considered agreed.

  At this time, Lin Zixian didn't pretend anymore, and with a big stride, he knelt down in front of the sofa, supporting Zhang Beibei's injured right ankle with one hand, while quickly pinching the swollen area several times with the other. Zhang Beibei was in so much pain that she hummed silently, her eyes welling up with tears.

  Lin Zilei quickly finished checking and loosened his grip on the hand, turning back to the crowd and saying: "Ligament sprain, ankle is slightly dislocated."

  "Ah! The bones are all dislocated." Liu Yanzi exclaimed: "Then hurry up and send her to the hospital."

  Li Mingcheng was about to rush off to catch the bus, but Lin Zixian looked at Zhang Beibei with a calm expression and said: "I'll help you recover, it might hurt a bit, bear with it."

  Looking at his suddenly calm and confident eyes, Zhang Beibei nodded again for some reason.

  Lin Zixian placed her foot on her own knee, immediately secretly gathering her energy and operating her internal strength. She quickly rubbed her palms together until they became hot and red, then suddenly grasped her swollen ankle with both hands and rapidly moved them around. Zhang Beibei felt such pain that her body twisted and turned.

  Those big hands suddenly grasped her ankle, twisting and turning, the sound of "crack" bone grinding came, Lin Zilei relaxed his hand and gently put it down, Zhang Beibei had already slumped on the sofa.

  "What's wrong?" Tong Yunan asked somewhat nervously.

  Lin Zi stood up and said, "I've already helped her dispel the blood stasis, and her ankle is back in place. The problem should be fine now. Now let's get some ice to apply to it for a while to reduce the swelling. In a few days, she'll be able to recover as usual. However, for these few days, it's best if the injured foot doesn't exert itself too much and gets plenty of rest!"

  Liu Yanzi immediately shouted at her servant: "Hurry up and get some ice cubes from the refrigerator!"

  Li Mingcheng immediately ran downstairs with a thud and soon brought up a bowl of ice cubes.

  Lin Zixian took the towel from Tong Yunan's hand, spread it out on a nearby table, grabbed a few handfuls of ice cubes and scattered them on the towel. Then he quickly wrapped the ice cubes in the towel to form a long strip, carried it over to the sofa, and directly bound Zhang Beibei's injured ankle with it.

  A series of movements were neat and efficient, very skilled, as if he didn't know how many times he had done it before. Several people were left staring in amazement, and they also gained confidence in his judgment about Zhang Beibei's condition. Liu Yanzi even asked in surprise: "Lin Zixian, are you a Chinese medicine doctor?"

  Actually, others have the same question and suspect that he is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor who specializes in treating injuries. Lin Zixian was stunned for a moment and naturally couldn't say that he had a lot of experience dealing with this kind of thing. He scratched his head and said, "No, but I've learned some traditional Chinese medicine from an old man."

  Several people suddenly realized, it was like this all along.

  Lin Zi told him to leave someone to take care of Zhang BeiBei tonight, and not to let the ice pack be applied for too long, otherwise it would affect blood circulation. When Zhang BeiBei's ankle felt swollen and hot, he should apply the ice pack again, repeating this several times until dawn, by which time the swelling should have gone down.

  Qin Yue finally took on this task and spent the night with Zhang Beibei tonight.

  Everyone was preparing to go back to their own homes when Zhang Beibei suddenly shouted: "Lin Ge, will I be able to walk slowly on this foot tomorrow?"

  Everyone turned back, Lin Zixian frowned and said: "Do you want to go to school? According to my method, it should be fine if you walk slowly tomorrow, but it's best to take a few days off, otherwise the recovery will be slow."

  "I have an important test tomorrow and can't be late." Zhang Beibei was clearly in a hurry.

  "It's a simple matter." Liu Yanzi pointed at Lin Zixian with a big package and said, "Anyway, you're the idlest here, and you don't have anything to do for now. Tomorrow, just send her off and it'll be done. Having a doctor who can treat injuries like this on hand is great, you're a grown man, won't you even have this bit of courtesy?"

  It was indeed hard to refuse, Lin Zilei scratched his head and agreed, asked Zhang Beibei what time he would go to school tomorrow, and everyone dispersed.

  Back in his room, Lin Zilei hung up a map of Donghai City on the wall, an old habit of his. Wherever he went, he would always buy a map to get familiar with the surrounding geography.

  After finding the location of Donghai University, he roughly figured out that it was not far from here and estimated that this was also one of the reasons why Zhang Beibei rented a place to live. He made sure he had a rough idea of the time, distance, roads, and directions before entering a state of rest.

  The next day, when the sky was just brightening, Lin Zilei suddenly opened his eyes from his sleep and woke up again. He got out of bed, walked to the window, pulled open a gap in the curtains, and saw Tong Yunan quietly opening the iron gate in the courtyard by herself, then closing it gently before leaving, as if she didn't want to disturb everyone's peaceful dreams.

  Lin Zi furrowed her brow, unsure what she was doing so early in the morning. A small southern goods store wouldn't open this early, would it? She subconsciously thought about following her to take a look, but ultimately gave up.

  He pulled down the curtains and took a look at the time, his sleepiness was gone. He thought that he still had to send Zhang BeiBei to school later, so he started practicing his daily routine of "Morning Incense". Usually, unless something unexpected came up, he would insist on practicing his internal skills every day, this was the one thing that Old Man Lin would nag about...
