843 Injured (2)
However, soon, the embarrassment on her face disappeared and was replaced by a serious expression.
There were many knife wounds scattered on Xie Jingxing’s body, but these knife wounds were not deep. Although they were not fatal, Shen Miao knew that with so many knife wounds, just bleeding would be enough to make Xie Jingxing die of blood loss. At that moment, she did not dare to be careless. She immediately wet a handkerchief with hot water and wiped the blood off Xie Jingxing’s body bit by bit. She then took out the powder from the medicine bottle and sprinkled it on him. After searching for a long time, she could not find a clean cloth. Shen Miao could only cut off a piece of her new corset to bandage Xie Jingxing’s wound. Shen Miao had never bandaged anyone before, but she had seen soldiers of Shen Qiu do this in the past, so she imitated it. Although it was clumsily done, the blood had stopped.
She took out a few more pills from the cabinet. Luo Tan had bought them for her. She said that when women were on their periods and didn’t look good, they could take it. Although Xie Jingxing was not on his period, he had lost a lot of blood. This should be able to nourish him. Shen Miao crushed the pills and mixed them with warm water before feeding it to Xie Jingxing.
After finishing everything, the night was as dark as ink, and one could not even hear the sound of livestock outside. Xie Jingxing lay on Shen Miao’s bed with his body half-naked, his body wrapped in Shen Miao’s cloth, looking very strange.
The corners of Shen Miao’s mouth twitched. She planned to turn Xie Jingxing over and check if there were any other wounds on his body.
Xie Jingxing’s clothes were wet, but his pants were dry, so Shen Miao didn’t think there were any wounds on his lower body. When she flipped Xie Jingxing over, her hand accidentally touched his thigh. Shen Miao felt as if she had been burned by fire. Just as she was about to retract her hand, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The skin under her hand was hard, not as smooth as the skin on the other parts of his body. Instead, it was as if a thick layer of scabs had formed. Her heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously lifted Xie Jingxing’s pants slightly, only to see a terrifying scar spreading into the depths of his stomach.
This scar was different from the scars that Xie Jingxing had been inflicted upon today. Although there were many scars today, they were not deep, so they were not fatal. The one in front of Shen Miao was long and deep. Clearly, it was an old scar from the past. It was enough to show that when he was injured, the wound must have reached the bone and looked terrifying.
When Xie Jingxing was in Ming Qi, there was never news of him being injured. Could it be that he was injured in the Daliang Dynasty? Shen Miao was puzzled, but she realized that there were other wounds. Every wound, big and small, was so deep that bones could be seen. Although the wounds had already healed, the sight of which still shocked people. How did Xie Jingxing survive so many calamities?
Shen Miao did not realize that she had already touched Xie Jingxing’s leg and was about to reach further down when the person on the bed grunted and grabbed her wrist. Shen Miao’s face turned red. She thought that Xie Jingxing was awake and misunderstood that she was taking advantage of him. She subconsciously looked at Xie Jingxing and saw that he was frowning and pursing his lips, but his eyes were closed.
Shen Miao heaved a sigh of relief. Although she still had many questions about the scars, she did not dare to touch any further. Xie Jingxing’s clothes had been torn by her, so Shen Miao could only take a coat for Xie Jingxing to wear and cover it tightly for him. Afraid that Xie Jingxing would have a fever in the middle of the night, she brought a stool over and sat in front of the bed to guard him.
She did not know when she fell asleep.
When Shen Miao woke up, she realized that she was already sleeping on the bed with a thick blanket covering her body. She clearly remembered that she was the one sitting in front of the bed and guarding Xie Jingxing last night, but she did not expect to fall asleep halfway. She thought she was probably so tired that she did not even know that she had unconsciously climbed onto the bed.
