Zhao Datu had no intention of calling a truce, and he actually had the upper hand, but when Tian Xiaobei said he wanted to see Axiang, Zhao Datu wouldn't comply. He immediately went up to grab Tian Xiaobei and threw him to the ground, with Tian Xiaobei clinging onto Zhao Datu, both men tumbling down together.
It took a while before Axiang regained consciousness, sensing blood oozing from her head. Upon touching, her hand was indeed covered with a sticky, thick liquid.
Seeing the two still scuffling before her, Axiang felt as though an invisible hand was dragging her steadily into the abyss of darkness, pulling her deeper and deeper...
Not caring about the two fighting anymore, Axiang slowly got up and made her way back into the house. She grabbed a piece of cloth to press against her head, relieved that the bleeding stopped after a while. Then she went to the kitchen, applied some ash to the wound, and hastily wrapped it up with another piece of cloth.
