Chapter 843 Injury (2)
But soon, the embarrassment on her face disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression.
Xie Jingxing's body was covered in numerous knife wounds. None of them were too deep, but they were scattered across his body. While none of them were fatal, Shen Miao knew that with so many wounds, the sheer amount of blood alone would be enough to drain him completely. She didn't dare hesitate, and immediately wiped the blood off Xie Jingxing's body with a handkerchief dipped in hot water. She then took out the powder from the medicine bottle and sprinkled it on him. After searching for a long time for a clean cloth, Shen Miao had no choice but to use a newly made bra bandage to bandage Xie Jingxing's wounds. Shen Miao had never bandaged anyone before, but she had seen the soldiers at Shenqiu do it before, so she copied their example. Although it was a bit ugly, the bleeding finally stopped.
She then found a few Qi and blood-tonifying pills from the cabinet. They were bought for her by Luo Tan, who said that women's complexion was poor during menstruation, and taking these could improve their complexion. Although Xie Jingxing wasn't menstruating, he had lost a lot of blood, so these pills should also be able to replenish his complexion. Shen Miao crushed the pills, soaked them in hot water, and fed them to Xie Jingxing.
After finishing everything, the night was as dark as a thick, impenetrable fog. Even the murmurs of the livestock could no longer be heard outside. Xie Jingxing lay half-naked on her bed, his upper body wrapped in three layers of Chen Miao's chest-binding cloth. No matter how he looked at it, it looked strange.
Shen Miao twitched the corner of her mouth and planned to turn Xie Jingxing over and check if there were any other wounds on his body.
Xie Jingxing's clothes were soaked in large areas, but his pants were dry, so Shen Miao didn't doubt that he was only injured in the waist, abdomen, and back. When she turned Xie Jingxing over, her hand accidentally touched his thigh. Shen Miao felt as if she had been burned by fire. She was about to withdraw her hand, but suddenly felt something was wrong.
The skin under her hands was hard, not as delicate as other, uninjured skin. Instead, it looked like a thick scab. She felt a stir in her heart and subconsciously lifted up Xie Jingxing's trousers slightly, only to see a terrifying scar spreading deep into Xie Jingxing's abdomen.
This was different from the scars Xie Jingxing had acquired today. Although those scars were numerous, they were not deep, and therefore not fatal. However, this one was winding and dark in color, clearly an old wound. However, after so long, the deep mark still remained, proving that the injury was deep enough to reveal the bone, which was shocking.
I hadn't heard of Xie Jingxing getting injured while in Mingqi. Could it be that he got injured in Daliang? Shen Miao was suspicious, but she discovered that there were other wounds, large and small, each deep enough to see the bone. Although the wounds had healed, she couldn't help but wonder, how did Xie Jingxing survive so many life-and-death trials?
She hadn't realized that she had touched Xie Jingxing's legs, and was about to touch him further down, but the person on the bed groaned and grabbed her wrist. Shen Miao's face suddenly turned red. She thought Xie Jingxing had woken up and misunderstood that she was taking advantage of him. She subconsciously looked at Xie Jingxing, but saw that Xie Jingxing was frowning tightly, pursing his lips, but his eyes were not open, as if he had not woken up yet.
Shen Miao breathed a sigh of relief. Although she still had doubts about the scars, she didn't dare touch them. Xie Jingxing's clothes had been shredded by her, so Shen Miao had no choice but to take a coat she had made too big and put it on Xie Jingxing, covering him tightly. Fearing that Xie Jingxing would have a fever during the night due to his wounds not healing, she moved a stool and sat in front of the couch to watch over him.
I don't know when I fell asleep.
The morning light was dimming, and the roosters crowed. When Shen Miao woke up, she found herself sleeping on the couch, covered with thick blankets. She clearly remembered that she was sitting in front of the couch watching over Xie Jingxing last night, but she didn't expect to fall asleep in the middle of it. Perhaps she was extremely tired, so she slept so soundly that she didn't even notice when someone moved her to another place.
