481 - Uncle Jiu (2)

Shen Yanxiao stared at the backs of the two people, her clear eyes deepened as a trace of suspicion emerged from them.

Falling and then rubbing the skin off?

Such explanation, if it was an ordinary child, perhaps they might be able to fool them, but Shen Yanxiao was very certain, Little Ke's wound at his back was absolutely not because of a fall, it was an injury caused by a fire magic.

Looking at how the wound was healing, that injury must have occured half a month ago.

The time when the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps was attacked, and the time when Little Ke's injury occurred almost coincided.

Shen Yanxiao was sure that Little Ke's injury on his back was caused by the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps.

But Uncle Jiu actually said that Little Ke's injury was just an accident?

When she saw Little Ke's wound, she felt a bit strange. While Uncle Jiu was explaining about it, Shen Yanxiao was secretly observing Little Ke's expression.

Little Ke looked the same, but when Uncle Jiu said he accidentally fell, he only exposed a trace of embarrassment, as if what Uncle Jiu said was true.

Little Ke's mind was very simple, even if he was just pretending, it couldn't be possible for him.

That was to say, he also believed that his wound was because he accidentally fell?

Such a shy situation, Shen Yanxiao couldn't help but wrinkle her eyebrows slightly.

Little Ke didn't look like he was lying, however it was absolutely impossible that her guess as to where the wound came from was wrong.

There must be something in this situation that she wasn't able to think of.

While Shen Yanxiao was pondering over things, and before Little Ke could call out to eat, Uncle Ba came in holding five or six pudgy big radishes.

"Ha, you two little fellas must be hungry, right? You eat these radish first to fill your belly while I take some water pancake over; you eat first

while I do that."  Uncle Ba laughed as he put the things on the table.

Shen Yanxiao squinted her eyes and took the radish while he looked at the honest Old Ba. Smiling she said, "Thank you, uncle Old Ba."

Old Ba chuckled and scratched his head somewhat embarrassed.

There were no children in their village, so they were very concerned about these two immature little lives.

"What thank you, don't mention it. Where's Little Ke and Uncle Jiu?" Old Ba asked after not seeing Little Ke's figure.

Shen Yanxiao's eyes moved, slowly gnawing at the radish in her mouth she said, "Uncle Jiu took little uncle Ke to apply some medicine for him. Uncle Old Ba, uncle Ke's injury at the back is scary, it must be very painful."

Old Ba laughed and said, "Oh, what about that injury? It was also because of Little Ke being stupid, going for a stroll in the middle of night only to accidentally fell, and ending up with such a thing. Just a damaged skin, it does not matter. It just look horrifying to people but don't be afraid ah."

"Does it really not matter?" Shen Yanxiao had a worried look on her face, but she was pondering Old Ba's words over and over again. Old Ba also thought that Little Ke's injuries were from falling?

"No matter, ai, you kids like to make a fuss. You take a look, this old uncle's arms aren't broken although there's a big cut." In order to prove that the wounds of Little Ke was no big deal, Old Ba directly rolled up his sleeves and exposed the wound on his left arm to Shen Yanxiao.

A stab wound across half an arm hung on the big arm of Old Ba.

"Uncle Old Ba, what happened to you?" Shen Yanxiao asked.

Old Ba smiled and replied "Oh, I didn't sleep well-behaved at night. I fell and the stone on the ground scratch it a bit. You see that I am fine, it's really nothing!"
