Chapter 120: Thank You

In the blink of an eye, only four of the nine wolves were left, two of which were injured, including the alpha wolf.
Seeing that the situation was not in its favor, the alpha wolf issued a signal and turned to run towards the depths of the forest.
Shen Mo had thought Zhou Lan looked familiar when he first saw her but couldn’t remember who she was. It wasn’t until he saw Jiang Xia that he remembered this woman was Jiang Xia’s mother.
This wasn’t because Shen Mo had forgotten Zhou Lan; it was just that her presence in front of others was always low, making people unconsciously overlook her.
Jiang Xia was the first to approach Wang Wen and ask, “Uncle Wang, how are you all doing?”
Wang Wen first looked towards Shen Mo. Seeing that Shen Mo was fine, he let out a sigh of relief and said, “We’re okay, thanks to you guys. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened today.”
There were four of them in total: Wang Wen, Shen Mo, and two soldiers under Shen Mo’s command.
They were fortunate that Shen Mo had brought soldiers with him today. If he had been accompanied by that man with the camera like last time, they would have had to protect him as well, and it was uncertain whether they could have held on until now.
Even though Jiang Xia and her group had medicine, they couldn’t take it out. All they could do was tear some strips of cloth to bandage Shen Mo and the others temporarily.
Among them, Shen Mo’s injuries were the most severe. In addition to wounds on his arm and leg, there were also several wounds on his abdomen. He was unsure whether they were inflicted when the two wolves lunged at him, but they were bleeding at the moment..
Shen Mo’s face was pale when they were bandaging him, but he bit his lip and didn’t make a sound. Jiang Xia felt pain just looking at his wounds.
As for why Jiang Xia was bandaging Shen Mo’s wounds, it had to do with her unreliable mother. As soon as the crisis was resolved, her mother’s whimsical thoughts resurfaced.
She was initially helping Wang Wen with his bandages, but her mother assigned that task to her father and took it upon herself to bandage the two soldiers who didn’t look very old.
Left with no choice, she had to take the cloth and come over to Shen Mo.
The heavy smell of blood on Shen Mo’s body reached Jiang Xia’s nose, making her feel dizzy. This man must have fought with other wolves besides the two just now and had even managed to kill one.
Thinking this, Jiang Xia curiously looked up at Shen Mo, only to meet his dark eyes.
Although he looked ragged, there was a steady and firm look in his eyes, as if his presence alone could provide reassurance.
“Thank you,” Shen Mo said.
Since Jiang Xia was bandaging him, they were very close. When Shen Mo spoke, his warm breath hit Jiang Xia’s ear. She felt her heart tighten, and her hand unintentionally pressed a bit harder on the bandage, causing Shen Mo to gasp in pain.
Jiang Xia paused her movement. When she resumed, she used her previous pressure.
While Jiang Xia continued to work with her hands, her mind was wandering. She might now understand why the girls pursuing Shen Mo were so crazy. Besides his appearance, this man was quite attractive.
Just his saying “thank you” was enough to make her heart flutter. Listening to his voice up close could be addicting.
After bandaging Shen Mo, Jiang Xia planned to move away from him. Soldiers really were machines that exuded hormones. When she was bandaging him earlier and accidentally touched his waist, the amazing sensation made her dare not recall it for a second time.
Jiang Gu slipped over to Jiang Xia at some point and witnessed the scene. After Jiang Xia finished bandaging, Jiang Gu whispered, “Sister, your face is red again!”
In an instant, the words reached both Jiang Xia and Shen Mo’s ears. Their eyes met abruptly, then both involuntarily looked away.
Jiang Xia’s gaze fell on the culprit, her look became even less friendly as she laughed ominously.
“Xiao Gu, are you itching for a beating?”
As Jiang Xia said this and reached to pinch Jiang Gu’s cheeks, Jiang Gu saw what was coming and turned to run. Jiang Xia followed, which also helped avoid the awkward situation they were in.
Because in modern times, the family often went out and got bumped and bruised, so they were all proficient in bandaging. It didn’t take long to bandage all four of Shen Mo’s party.
Jiang Xia handed over the water she had prepared to everyone. She had added a bit of interspace water to ensure they had the strength to descend the mountain..
