Chapter 029 You can't sew
This person is injured.
Bai Jingsi went over and helped the man sit up. He could smell a strong smell of blood when he was close to him.
"Who are you and how did you get hurt?"
The man said weakly: "I was injured by criminals."
Bai Zhenzhu saw that he looked righteous and didn't look like a bad guy, so she said to Bai Jingsi:
"Brother, let's take him to the hospital first."
"No...can't go to the hospital." The man loosened Bai Zhenzhu's trouser legs. "They are still chasing me. Can you find a place for me to hide?"
Bai Zhenzhu looked around. Everyone was eating and watching TV in the house. Not far away, there were a few people sitting under the street lights playing cards. No one was paying attention to this side.
The man was seriously injured and almost incapable of acting. Train stations are already chaotic places, and if he was really injured while catching bad guys, he would be in danger if he was taken away by the bad guys if we ignore him.
After thinking for a while, Bai Zhenzhu said:
"Brother, let's take him back first."
Bai Jingsi said nothing more and carried the man up.
The man was injured, and he had treated it roughly by tying his thigh tightly with his shirt to stop the bleeding.
But when he fell to the ground just now, a pool of blood was left on the ground.
Fortunately, Bai Zhenzhu’s home is not far from here.
After entering the restaurant, the man turned around and said to Bai Zhenzhu:
"Comrade, please clean up the blood on the ground."
When they entered the brightly lit place, the man was stunned when he saw Bai Zhenzhu.
Perhaps he himself did not expect that he could catch a beautiful girl with just a casual grab.
"Okay, go upstairs first, I'll think of a solution."
Bai Zhenzhu thought about how every year when they slaughtered the New Year pig, their family would deal with the pig blood on the ground directly by flushing it with water, so she went to the backyard and fetched a large bucket of water.
By the time she had washed away the blood, the man had already been placed on the sofa by Bai Jingsi.
The man said his name was Huo Zheng and he was on a secret mission, and he was not in a position to reveal other information.
Bai Zhenzhu knew what a soldier was like. Huo Zheng's temperament was very similar to that of Old Man Bai and his uncle Li Zhongguo.
She guessed that the other person should be a soldier, and her vigilance immediately disappeared.
She quickly poured a glass of warm water:
"Comrade, drink some water first."
Bai Jingsi frowned:
"Comrade, you look badly injured. You'd better go to the hospital. We just moved in and we don't even have gauze or medicine at home."
Huo Zheng drank the water and shook his head:
"I can't go to the hospital. Those people will definitely search the hospital if they know I'm injured."
As for how he was injured and who those people were, he didn't say anything because it was confidential, and Bai Zhenzhu and the others wouldn't ask.
People nowadays have a fanatical worship of soldiers and are in awe of their identities.
The man had a neat shaved head, deep facial features and a pair of eyes as black as ink.
His shirt was wrapped around the wound, leaving only a white vest on his upper body, and a pair of jeans on his lower body, covering his long legs.
He thought Bai Jingsi was worried about getting into trouble, so he explained:
"Don't worry, I'm very careful and there's no one following me. But if they know I'm injured, they will definitely go to the hospital."
He gritted his teeth and sat down, then took out a wallet from his other trouser pocket and handed it to Bai Jingsi:
"I may have to stay here for a few days. This is my food allowance. I would also like to trouble you to buy some medicine for me tomorrow."
He knew the severity of his injury. His tendons and bones were not damaged. It was just a flesh wound. He would be fine as long as he stopped the bleeding and rested for a few days.
Bai Jingsi didn't take the wallet and turned to look at Bai Zhenzhu.
After all, this is Bai Zhenzhu's home and he has no say in the matter.
White Pearl smiled and said:
"Comrade Huo, please keep the money. We have no other intentions. We are just worried about your injuries."
"Since you have plans, then you can stay here with peace of mind. Don't worry, this market is crowded during the day, and no one will know you are recuperating upstairs."
She looked at Huo Zheng's legs.
The shirt wrapped around the wound was completely soaked with blood, and it was obvious that it was not very effective in stopping the bleeding.
But the pharmacy outside was closed at this time.
Bai Zhenzhu suddenly thought of something and immediately said to Bai Jingsi:
"Brother, help Comrade Huo clean up. I'm going to go out for a while."
After saying that, without waiting for Bai Jingsi to ask, he took the flashlight and went downstairs to Xia He's uncle Cao Dafa's house.
The Cao Dafa couple were watching TV and were very confused when they saw that it was Bai Zhenzhu who knocked on the door:
"Isn't this Pearl? Is there something wrong with you?"
After all, we don’t know each other well. Could it be that he has changed his mind and doesn’t want to buy the house by showing up so late at night?
Cao Dafa muttered to himself as he let Bai Zhenzhu in.
Bai Zhenzhu didn't waste any words: "Uncle Cao, do you have any medicine at home? My brother is injured."
Aunt Xia He grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into Bai Zhenzhu's hands, saying:
"Yes, yes. Last time your uncle Cao chopped off his hand while chopping meat. I just so happen to have some medicine for wounds at home. Please sit down first. I'll go find it for you."
Bai Zhenzhu sat on the bamboo chair in the living room. Journey to the West was being played on TV, with Tang Monk taming the white dragon horse.
"Journey to the West" has been broadcast several times, but Bai Zhenzhu has never watched a few episodes seriously.
After marrying into the Pei family, she was always busy. Every day when she opened her eyes, there was endless work to do...
"Pearl, take all these medicines. We won't take them away anyway."
Aunt Xia He brought out a bag with various medicines in it, for treating headaches, fevers, shoulder and joint pains, as well as a bottle of iodine for disinfection and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Bai Zhenzhu was overjoyed: "Auntie, thank you so much."
"Don't be polite, go back quickly and be careful on the road." After saying that, he grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into Bai Zhenzhu's hands.
When they got home, Bai Jingsi had already cleaned Huo Zheng, opened the sofa bed, laid out the mattress and sheets, and let Huo Zheng lie down.
Huo Zheng had already changed into Bai Jingsi's short-sleeved sweatshirt, with only a blanket covering his lower body, and apparently he was not wearing pants.
Bai Zhenzhu took out the iodine and anti-inflammatory drugs and handed them to Bai Jingsi:
"Brother, please give him medicine."
Bai Jingsi was somewhat embarrassed:
"Comrade Huo's wound is very deep. It's best to sew it up."
Huo Zheng apologized:
"I'm sorry, comrade, I made your sofa dirty."
Bai Jingsi said again:
"The wound was still bleeding a little. I put a layer of plastic mat under him."
White Pearl was in trouble:
"If you want to suture it, you still have to go to the hospital."
Zhang Minmin, who was in the room with Shuo Shuo, interjected:
"If all else fails, try using your hair to sew like in the movies, Pearl, why don't you give it a try?"
Before Bai Zhenzhu could say anything, Bai Jingsi immediately objected:
"No, pearls can't be sewn."
Huo Zheng's injury was on his thigh, so he was only wearing a pair of shorts.
Zhang Minmin came out and rolled her eyes at Bai Jingsi:
"Then you go ahead."
Bai Jingsi: "...I can't."
Zhang Minmin: "I can't do it either. I can only sew a button. I can't even sew clothes."
Bai Jingsi: “…” Even if you can, I can’t let you sew.
Bai Zhenzhu didn't have the same concerns as Bai Jingsi. She even had a son, so what had she not seen?
She carefully lifted the blanket from Huo Zheng, not completely removing it, leaving only his injured leg exposed.
Bai Jingsi tied up Huo Zheng's wound with a new towel, and in just a short while, the white towel turned red again.
Moreover, Huo Zheng also had symptoms of excessive blood loss, and his lips were pale.
"Comrade Huo, I dare to sew it for you, but I don't know if I can use my hair. Hair is too thin and it doesn't look strong."
Huo Zheng didn't expect that Bai Zhenzhu really wanted to sew for him. He was somewhat surprised. This woman was extremely timid.
But his wound really needs stitches, and the bleeding won't stop, and it's not a good idea to keep him tied up like this.
"It would be ok if we have silk thread," Huo Zheng said.
He regretted it after he said it, because silk fabrics in those days were not only scarce but also very expensive, and ordinary families generally did not have them.
