In the room, Xiao Ning gently helped the foreign woman named Tina to walk to the bed, then gently let her lie down and carefully covered her with a quilt so that she could have a good rest.
Xiao Ning himself sat quietly beside the bed, staring at the strange and pitiful woman in front of him with concern. He slowly reached out his hand and gently held Tina's soft little hand, hoping that this would convey endless comfort and strength to him, and silently accompanied her.
This woman had traveled across the ocean to get here. She was sold at will like a commodity by slave traders, and she might even have been resold more than once. She must have suffered a lot of torture and hardship along the way.
After seeing Tina close her eyes and breathe slowly and evenly, Xiao Ning gently let go of her hand and began to carefully check her injuries.
Her fair and delicate skin was covered with shallow whip marks and several bruises, but fortunately, after careful examination, no serious internal injuries or hidden diseases were found.
This result finally made Xiao Ning, who had been worried, feel a little relieved. He slowly stood up and took out a few small and exquisite porcelain bottles and some herbs with a faint fragrance from the mysterious ring on his finger.
Then he sat down at the table, far away from her so as not to disturb her rest, and then began to mix and grind the medicines attentively, striving to make the most effective healing medicine.
I don't know how long it took. Finally, Tina's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes. When she found herself in an unfamiliar bed, her heart was suddenly startled, and she subconsciously thought that she was being molested. So, regardless of the pain in her body, she quickly stood up and looked around with horror.
At this moment, Xiao Ning came to her side with a bowl of freshly prepared ointment. Seeing Tina's panic, Xiao Ning hurriedly said softly:
"Are you awake? Don't be afraid, I definitely haven't done anything wrong to you. I just saw you fainted and was worried about your injuries, so I checked on you without permission. Fortunately, they are just minor skin injuries. I have already prepared a special medicine for applying to the wounds." As he said that, he handed the porcelain bowl in his hand to Tina.
Tina's face was full of confusion, her eyes fixed on the young man in front of her. After a long while, she seemed to come to her senses suddenly, slowly lowered her head, and her eyes finally stopped on the porcelain bowl in front of her.
The snow-white porcelain bowl was filled with some sticky, green, viscous liquid. When Xiao Ning handed the porcelain bowl over, a faint herbal aroma came with it.
On the other hand, Xiao Ning, who had been observing Tina's reaction, felt a little relieved when he saw that she no longer showed any extreme or impulsive behavior.
So, he moved carefully, walked to a chair nearby and sat down. Then, he steadily picked up the porcelain bowl containing the mysterious ointment and gently placed it in front of the bedside table. After doing all this, he took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to reach out and gently held Tina's arm.
As Xiao Ning applied the ointment in Tina's hand to Tina's wound bit by bit, an indescribable cool feeling instantly swept over her like a tide and quickly spread throughout her body.
Tina couldn't help but feel a little surprised by this wonderful feeling, because she originally thought it would be extremely painful, but the actual situation was completely different from what she imagined.
At this moment, Tina couldn't help but raise her head, and her eyes happened to meet Xiao Ning who was concentrating on applying ointment to her. The young man stared at her wound intently, his hands moving lightly and steadily, and each move seemed particularly serious and meticulous.
The sunlight shone through the window onto the boy's androgynous face. At that moment, Xiao Ning's focused look was deeply imprinted in Tina's heart, as if it could never be erased.
After a while, Xiao Ning successfully finished applying the ointment to Tina's arm wound. He gently put down Tina's arm, then smiled and motioned to her to lie back on the bed and rest. Then, Xiao Ning stood up and said gently:
"Sister Tina, you are actually injured in many other places on your body. But don't worry, I will ask a maid to come and help you."
As he said this, he stood up very quickly and shouted softly to the outside.
But at this moment, a white and soft hand, like a fairy hand that fell from the sky, gently grasped his palm. The cold feeling was like an electric current, instantly sweeping through his body, making him shiver.
He turned his head and his eyes met the woman's. Tina's eyes flashed with a hint of pleading, an indescribable desire and dependence. Her voice was as light as a mosquito, but with great determination:
"No...just smear it on me."
After saying that, she turned around, her movements gracefully and with a hint of shyness. Her fingers gently unbuttoned the front knot of her cheongsam, and the clothes slowly fell off like petals. As the clothes fell off, a beautiful back instantly came into his sight.
However, what was suffocating was the shocking scars, like a group of hideous centipedes, crawling all over her skin that was supposed to be flawless. They were crisscrossed, some new and some old, some had long since healed leaving scars, and some were still faintly bloodshot, which made people feel sad.
