Their eyes met and the room fell into a brief silence.
In a moment, An Ci was defeated. She turned her face away and said, "Let me think about it."
Shen Mo asked, "How long do you want to know?"
This time he was determined to smash this person's tortoise shell and make her give him a definite answer.
However, An Ci couldn't persuade him, so he had to say, "After this matter is resolved."
"That's what you said."
Shen Mo let her go and said, "Sit down, I'll help you take the bullet out."
An Ci looked at him doubtfully, "Can you do it?"
Shen Mo picked up the alcohol and cotton swab, glanced at her, and used the words she had said when she was a child to stop her, "Didn't you say that? Men can't say no."
An Ci choked, glared at him, then sat down on the chair, took off his coat with his back to him, revealing the loose sweater underneath.
Since he already knew that she was a girl, An Ci no longer had any scruples and tugged down the collar of her sweater cleanly and neatly, revealing her round white shoulders and the bloody back of her shoulder.
The wound has become inflamed after being soaked in sea water for too long.
Shen Mo frowned. An Ci turned his head to look at him and asked again worriedly, "Can you do it?"
Shen Mo's voice was very light, "No."
"If you don't know how to do it, then you still..."
Before she could finish her words, a sharp pain spread from the back of her shoulder and swept through her whole body.
"hiss."
Oh my god.
She took a breath and gritted her teeth, "Can you give me a heads up before you do anything?"
Is he deliberately seeking revenge?
Shen Mo stared at her wound and said in a low voice, "Those people were targeting you in this assassination. Do you know who is behind it?"
An Ci clutched his coat, his voice trembling with pain, "It's An Yiheng."
Shen Mo frowned, "You dare to come even though you know it's a Hongmen Banquet."
"No venture, no gain." An Ci pursed his lips. "If he wants to act, I'll just play along with him until the end."
Shen Mo picked up the bullet with tweezers and threw it on the table. "You're risking your life to act with him. How stupid of you?"
It’s okay to be called stupid.
An Ci curled his lips, "I originally thought he would wait two days before taking action, but who knew he would be so impatient."
Glancing at the bullets on the table, she said, "Not bad, I didn't know you had this skill.
Shen Mo's expression was indifferent, and his tone was full of meaning, "There are many things you can't see."
Although he said he couldn't do it, he was very skilled in treating the wound. He applied the herbs that An Ci had crushed in advance on the wound and then put on a bandage.
An Ci put on his clothes. It was uncomfortable to wear wet clothes, but he had no choice but to make do with it in the current situation.
She picked up the bullet and put it in her pocket, and faintly heard someone talking outside.
"Old man, why did you come back so soon today?"
"I feel a little dizzy, can you pour me a glass of water?"
"Why do you feel dizzy? Wait a minute."
"Bang."
"Old man, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."
An Ci and Shen Mo looked at each other and walked out of the room quickly.
In the yard, the cup was broken on the ground. The old lady looked at the old man who had fainted on the ground and was so anxious that tears came to her eyes.
An Ci walked forward quickly, took the old man's pulse, looked at his slightly purple face, and frowned slightly.
She turned to look at the old lady, "Grandma, Grandpa is poisoned. We need to suppress the poison first. Do you have any silver needles?"
"Yes, yes." The old lady staggered to her feet and hurriedly ran into the main house. After a while, she ran out with a white cloth bag.
"Give."
An Ci reached out to take it, untied the white cloth bag, and a row of silver needles gleamed with a cold light.
The thin, white, and slender fingers swept across a row of silver needles, taking out the needles and applying the needles. The whole process was as smooth as flowing water.
It takes at least ten years to master this technique.
Shen Mo narrowed his eyes and looked at An Ci's focused profile with an unfathomable look.
It seems that his child still has many secrets hidden from him.
The old lady looked at her husband with an anxious face, but she didn't dare to say anything for fear of affecting An Ci's rescue.
After about ten minutes, An Ci removed the silver needles from the old man's head and hands, turned around and walked to the shelf to pick up some medicine. He then handed the herbs to the old lady and said gently, "Grandma, Grandpa will wake up soon. Boil a bowl of these herbs for him to drink, and the poison will be removed."
The old lady nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll go right away."
Then she took the herbs and turned to boil the medicine.
Shen Mo helped the old man up and placed him in a rocking chair. He turned to look at An Ci who was packing a white cloth bag and walked over to help. "I didn't know you had this skill."
The low voice was tinged with teasing.
She had just said this to him, but she didn't expect it to be her turn so soon.
An Ci lowered her eyelids, avoiding his gaze, "I just learned it from a book."
Shen Mo didn't ask any further questions, but just said "hmm", and it was unknown whether he believed it or not.
After a while, the old man lying in the rocking chair woke up.
Seeing two strangers in his house, he was slightly startled and asked weakly, "Who are you?"
The old lady came over with a bowl of medicine. Seeing that her husband had woken up, she felt relieved. "Old man, you are finally awake. I was so scared."
"You were poisoned. Thanks to this young man's injection, you woke up." Then she held the bowl to the old man's mouth and said, "Drink the medicine quickly."
After the old man finished drinking the medicine, his purple face gradually returned to normal. He looked at An Ci and the others and said gratefully, "Thank you so much."
If it weren't for them, he would have gone to see the King of Hell by now.
An Ci said, "It's just a small effort."
The old lady put down the empty bowl and said, "Old man, what's wrong with you? You were fine when you left home this morning. How could you be poisoned?"
