Chapter 108 Snake Eggs Discovered

Xia Mi took advantage of Huo Jingchen going to the study to make the bed, and she quickly bought band-aids and purple medicine at the mall.

Huo Jingchen made the bed and changed his clothes.

"It's time to go to bed." Huo Jingchen also lit a candle in the study.

"Wait a moment, I'll take care of your wound."

Xia Mi had already treated her bite wound, and she walked to the study with purple medicine and a Band-Aid.

Huo Jingchen had three wounds on his body, on his arms and thighs. He didn't act pretentiously and just lay down while Xia Mi applied medicine.

"Why are you back so late?"

Xia Mi disinfected him carefully and was still a little surprised at his sudden appearance.

"I came back after completing the mission." Huo Jingchen lowered his eyelids and saw the wound on the back of her hand. His heart ached, "I'm sorry."

Xia Mi stopped disinfecting and asked, "Why are you apologizing to me all of a sudden?"

"If I had come back earlier, you wouldn't have been scared."

"It's not up to you to decide when the mission will be completed. How come you think more about it than I do? This kind of thing only happens with a very small probability, so don't think too much about it."

Xia Mi put a Band-Aid on someone's wound.

The door was not closed tightly, the candle flame was blown, and the room flickered.

Huo Jingchen's dark eyes were filled with heartache. After staring at her for a few seconds, he lay directly on the bed and said, "It's getting late. Go to bed."

After a few seconds of contemplation, Huo Jingchen thought that if he went on a mission in the future, he would encounter this situation again, or even worse.

Can he really arrive on time every time?

How would she face it alone when he was not around? The last thing he wanted was to make her anxious. He felt very uncomfortable when he saw her frowning.

But due to his profession, he can only owe Xia Mi.

The candle went out, and Huo Jingchen held the person in his arms, with a lot on his mind.

"Have you taken a shower?"

Xia Mi felt puzzled and sniffed him carefully. There was no strange smell on his body, just like he had just taken a shower.

"Well, I washed it in the army and came back."

The army has an unwritten rule that if blood is seen during a mission, one needs to take a shower after completing the mission.

New recruits who see blood also need to receive psychological counseling.

Huo Jingchen was worried that Xia Mi would be frightened, so he didn't explain.

Xia Mi nodded and didn't think about anything else. After tossing and turning all night, she leaned in Huo Jingchen's arms and fell asleep quickly.

Listening to the breathing of the person in his arms, Huo Jingchen opened his eyes and closed them again with mixed emotions. -After Xia Mi woke up, she subconsciously touched the side, but it was empty.

She turned over and prepared to continue sleeping when the second wake-up call sounded.

After dozens of seconds, she opened her eyes, sighed, and got up.

"Are you up?" Huo Jingchen appeared at the door at some point.

Xia Mi quickly pulled down her clothes, blushing, "When did you come in? Why didn't you knock on the door?"

"I left in a hurry this morning and forgot to close the door. I just got off work and brought breakfast back. I wanted to call you to have breakfast."

Huo Jingchen, on the other hand, sounded like a victim.

Xia Mi turned around with a blush on her cheeks, "Then why are you walking without making any sound?"

"It's an occupational disease. If we walk too loudly, we'll lose our lives."

Xia Mi: “…”

She didn't give her any chance to speak, and she didn't dare to refute. In the end, it was still her fault.

"We're having dumplings this morning, come out and try them while they're hot."

Huo Jingchen's voice drifted away. He put the lunch box on the table and went to the kitchen to get dishes and chopsticks.

Xia Mi went to wash up. When brushing her teeth, she noticed the wound on the back of her hand. The teeth marks were clearly visible. The bleeding area of ​​the wound was small, and most of it was bruised and purple.

It looks a bit creepy at first glance.

While brushing her teeth, she was thinking about whether she should package the clam stick and put it outside. In the future, it should be effective on snakes, centipedes, or any other reptiles.

After washing up, Xia Mi sat at the dining table, and Huo Jingchen made a decision.

"I have to go back to Qingcheng in the next two days. There is a place where they breed military dogs. There are disabled and unqualified dogs that can be adopted. I decided to adopt one to look after the house. What do you think?"

Raise a dog? No, a military dog? "Or you can raise a retired military dog, but they are older and can't accompany you for long."

Seeing that Xia Mi didn't say anything, Huo Jingchen was worried that she didn't want to keep a dog.

The idea of ​​raising a dog to guard the house was something he came up with last night.

"Sure, but I still prefer puppies. Pick one for me. Having a dog will make our home more lively."

When Huo Jingchen is not around, the house is always deserted.

Xia Mi is also very interested in raising dogs, and she wants to be closer to dogs if she raises them from puppies. Retired dogs have already recognized their owners. Besides, she cannot accept witnessing the dog grow old so quickly and pass away after a few years of affection.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The puppy can stay with her for a long time.

Seeing that she agreed, Huo Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief.

Not many families are willing to keep dogs nowadays, for no other reason than because it wastes food. Food is no more scarce than before, but feeding the extra food to dogs is still too much of a luxury.

Since Xia Mi learned that she was going to raise a dog, she has become much more excited.

Before choosing a dog, he asked Huo Jingchen, "Should we build a doghouse for it?"

"As for bowls, it's best for dogs to use iron or stainless steel ones. Enamel basins and porcelain bowls won't last long."

"You take care of the preparations. I'll go back to the army after I finish eating. Don't let your wound come into contact with water. Put the bowl in the kitchen and I'll come back at noon to wash it."

Huo Jingchen has urgent matters to report to the troops.

"Okay, go ahead." Xia Mi just picked up the bowl and took a sip of the dumpling soup, then ran from the living room to the door.

Xia Mi put down the bowl and looked at the dumplings in it.

All I think about is raising a dog. The first thing I need is a doghouse, which must be able to shelter from wind and rain.

She immediately thought of Carpenter Wei who made the bed last time. He had good skills and was generous with the materials.

Thinking of this, Xia Mi quickened her eating pace.

After dinner, she put all the dishes in the kitchen, then came out, found a pen and paper, and started drawing a dog house on a piece of paper.

She was never satisfied with her drawings, and even tried using mortise and tenon structure, but finally returned to the simplest one.

A square, this type of machine requires less material and is quick to make.

Using too many ingredients and making it too delicate can easily lead to people making trouble.

When the time comes, she will ask Carpenter Wei to use leftover materials, preferably three or four kinds of wood to piece together, so that no one can say anything.

Then, Xia Mi took out the razor clam stick. She weighed the stick and found it was not light. She couldn't tell what material it was made of. Anyway, if she wanted to package it, she could only wrap it with waste newspaper first and then with tape.

The clam rod was about 1.2 meters long. She was wondering how to put it in the room without arousing Huo Jingchen's suspicion.

Xia Mi walked into the room with a clam shaker and looked around.

Since it is used for self-defense, it must be easily accessible.

Xia Mi wondered whether to put it under the bed, or use something to stick it under the bed?

She squatted down, tilted her head to look at the wooden board, then stood up and sat on the bed. She touched the inside of the bed board and frowned, feeling that something was not going right.

Crouching again to try to find a better solution, she bent over and put her head under the bed.

Xia Mi's attention was attracted by the small snake eggs under the bed. She was so scared that she hurried out and sat on the ground with weak legs.

Today I opened the backstage and saw a very thrilling ranking. I'm here to ask for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets~ I hope I can stabilize the current ranking! If I can stabilize it, I will add two more days next month!
