Chapter 38 Are you willing to risk your life to make money?

As soon as she said this, Jiang Xia was frightened by her own ferocious words. She realized that this was inappropriate and hurriedly explained: "I will help you treat the wound. Take off your clothes and let me see."

After saying that, she ran to the dressing table, took out cotton, gauze, and the box of Yunnan Baiyao.

Zhou Chenglei used to get injured frequently, so he had a habit of keeping medicine ready. Jiang Xia knew where to put it.

Even though the light was dim, Zhou Chenglei could still see her blushing face. He reached out to her and asked for the medicine: "Give it to me, I can do it myself."

Jiang Xia didn't give it to him. He put on a straight face to make himself look more serious: "How are you going to treat the injury on your back? Sit still and take off your clothes quickly."

“…”

Zhou Chenglei glanced at her face pretending to be calm, sat down obediently, grabbed the hem of her clothes with both hands and pulled them up, then took them off.

Jiang Xia noticed his abdominal muscles at a glance. They were not overly noticeable, but the lines were clear and just right.

This man is blessed with a handsome face and a perfect body.

She took the cotton ball and carefully wiped away the excess blood on his arm.

Zhou Chenglei lowered his eyes and looked at her.

In the dim light, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, very delicate and beautiful, and her movements were very gentle. Zhou Chenglei couldn't help but stare at her in a trance.

Jiang Xia wiped his arm gently with a cotton ball. His expression was serious and his brows were slightly furrowed. "This wound is a bit deep."

Zhou Chenglei came back to his senses and took a look at the wound, not caring much: "It's a minor injury, it will heal in two days, don't worry."

Jiang Xia wiped the blood and picked up the Yunnan Baiyao powder. He motioned for him to raise his arm and sprinkled the powder on the wound. He then wrapped it with a thin layer of gauze, which could both cover the powder and allow the wound to breathe, allowing it to heal faster.

"It's best not to get wet for the next two days to avoid infection."

Seeing her skilled bandaging technique, Zhou Chenglei raised his eyebrows slightly and replied softly, "Yes."

After treating the wound on his arm, Jiang Xia looked at his back. The wound was not deep, just a minor scratch, so it didn't need any medicine.

But he had many scars on his back, which were shocking. The book said that he had been to the battlefield, participated in several battles, made many contributions, and survived many life-threatening situations. I couldn't help but ask, "Are the scars on your back from the battlefield?"

"Um."

"He was seriously injured at that time, right?" Jiang Xia looked at the scar and couldn't imagine how he survived.

"It's okay. I won't die."

In fact, I almost died, but as long as I could win the battle, what did it matter if I got injured? It was worth dying.

Zhou Chenglei turned his head and glanced at her. Seeing that she was frowning, he stood up, went to the closet to get a shirt and put it on to cover the hideous scar on her back: "Are you scared? It's ugly?"

Jiang Xia came back to his senses, shook his head, and said admiringly: "Not bad, these are medals of lovely people like you, medals that will never fade, very beautiful."

Zhou Chenglei paused while buttoning his shirt, a strange throbbing passed through his heart. He glanced out the window and said, "It's still early before dawn, you should continue to sleep for a while."

Zhou Chenglei put on his clothes, took a pair of pants from the closet, and planned to go to the next room to change.

Jiang Xia saw him walk out: "Where are you going?"

"Change your pants."

Jiang Xia: “…”

She shouldn't have asked.

It was almost dawn. There was a violent storm outside and the power was out. There was nothing he could do. Jiang Xia went back to bed and lay down. He quickly fell asleep and didn't wake up until dawn.

It was windy and rainy outside.

Zhou Chenglei was not in the room.

Jiang Xia changed his clothes and went out, and found him planing wood in the corner of the hall.

Several logs had been planed, and one was still being planed. Jiang Xia saw that the wood was planed very smoothly.

Ask him why he is planing wood.

Zhou Chenglei: "I made a swing under the grape trellis."

For some reason, he thought she would like a swing in the yard.

Jiang Xia didn't expect him to think of making a swing, and even less did he expect him to do it: "That's good. Can you do it?"

"Well, it's not difficult." In fact, he also knows how to make bamboo chairs and bamboo stools, but he just doesn't have the time to do it.

There was a typhoon today and I had nothing to do so I thought of making a swing.

Father Zhou is breaking bamboo.

In the long hall, the table was moved to one side, and the father and son each sat in their own corner without disturbing each other.

Jiang Xia saw Zhou's father holding a bamboo, cutting a hole in the middle of the bamboo's cross section, and then stuffing a small wooden stick in. Then he cut another hole in the cross section to form a cross with the previous one, and stuffed another wooden stick in. The two wooden sticks formed a cross and pushed down, and the whole bamboo broke into four pieces! Then he divided the four pieces of bamboo into eight pieces...

Clean and neat!

She finally understood where the unstoppable force came from!

Zhou's mother had already prepared breakfast, white porridge with pickled bamboo shoots and steamed fish with fermented black beans, which was quite appetizing.

In the process of moving the food from outside to inside, Zhou's mother's clothes got wet, so she had to change her clothes.

Jiang Xia was also wet when he came back from washing up.

This old house still has many inconveniences. There is no toilet and the kitchen is outside. In the house she builds next, she must not get wet in the rain when going to the kitchen, and there must be a toilet in the house.

Now she doesn't dare to drink water or eat anything at night, for fear of having to go to the toilet outside in the middle of the night.

On typhoon days, every household stays indoors.

Zhou's father was weaving drying mats in the house, Zhou Chenglei was making a swing, and Zhou's mother was weaving a fishing net. There was almost no place to stand in the entire hall.

Jiang Xia thought of the shrimps all over the beach after the typhoon, so she went out to find two bamboo rakes and asked Zhou Chenglei to cut some thin bamboo strips for her. She wanted to improve a rake for collecting shrimps!

The wind outside was a little less, but the rain was still heavy. When the rain stopped, she went to collect the shrimps.

Seeing her clumsily weaving the teeth of the bamboo rake with bamboo strips, Zhou's mother asked curiously, "Xiao Xia, what are you doing?"

Jiang Xia: "I plan to make a tool for catching fish from the sea. Don't worry, Mom, I will dismantle these bamboo strips after use, so the rake will not be damaged."

Zhou's mother had never seen such a strange tool for catching seafood. She just thought she was idle and had nothing to do, so she didn't pay any attention to her.

It rained all day long, with the wind rising and falling.

When the wind was less windy, Zhou Chengxin and Tian Caihua came in the rain. They were worried that the tiles on the roof would be blown away, so they came to see if they needed to be taken to live in the new house. They also brought some vegetables.

Tian Caihua saw Jiang Xia fiddling with the bamboo rake and asked curiously, "Xiao Xia, what are you doing?"

"Make a tool for catching fish and shrimps. I heard there will be a lot of fish and shrimps on the beach after the typhoon. I can just rake them all into one pile. Do you want to make one, sister-in-law?"

Tian Caihua's mouth twitched: "No need! Do you think there will be fish and shrimp all over the ground after the typhoon? Do you still need a bamboo rake? There won't be so many, don't bother!"

She didn't know if there would be a pile of fish and shrimps when she used the thing she had modified, but there would definitely be a pile of sand! She really had never seen the world!

Jiang Xia didn't say much. She couldn't just say she knew there were shrimps and let everyone think she had hit the jackpot out of ignorance! Of course, she knew that it was very unlikely that there would be shrimps all over the beach after a typhoon, but she had also seen similar videos in modern times.

And she has crossed into the book! This typhoon was specially arranged by the author for the heroine to make money, and it was also a typhoon that started the relationship with the hero! However, Zhou Chengxin and his wife went out, and now the wind and rain outside are smaller. The typhoon has passed, but it is still raining.

Jiang Xia asked Zhou Chenglei: "Can we go to the beach now?"

Tian Caihua looked at her like she was a monster. Going to the beach now? Risking her life just to make money?

Happy Dragon Boat Festival! (End of this chapter)
