Chapter 126 "Sister, do I need some thanks for these knife wounds?"
Su Yingxue took out the ointment from the makeup box, opened the porcelain bottle, gently grabbed his injured arm, and gently absorbed the blood on his arm with the gauze from the medicine box.
Su Yingxue opened the lid of the porcelain bottle, cleaned her hands and dried them, then took out the ointment with her fingers and gently applied it to him.
The ointment was icy cool and had the effect of stopping bleeding and relieving pain. Chu Xingchen only felt that her jade fingers were stained with the ointment, which was also icy cool. She gently applied it to his wound, one by one, as if it was applied to her heart.
She didn't ask him softly until she had applied medicine to the knife wounds on both of his arms.
"Brother, do you have any other injuries?"
Su Yingxue's voice was soft and gentle, like the feeling of stepping on cotton. Chu Xingchen felt as sweet as honey in his heart when he heard her voice.
"And... there is a wound on my back, which may not be very convenient..." Chu Xingchen whispered, his face slightly flushed. Perhaps it was because her body smelled too good, the faint fragrance of dark night jasmine made him intoxicated.
Perhaps it was because she was too close to him. Her serious face, right before his eyes, made his heart flutter.
"What's the harm?" Su Yingxue was a little confused. Her soft voice came, and she said, "Turn around, brother, sister will apply medicine for you..."
"After all, it's not the first time... Are you still shy, brother?" Su Yingxue said coldly.
“······” Chu Xingchen remained silent for a long time after hearing this.
Seeing this, Su Yingxue urged impatiently, "Brother, what are you daydreaming about?"
"Turn around, take off your clothes and lie on the bed...it will be done in a moment..." Su Yingxue urged.
How could he be like a child, applying the medicine halfway? Su Yingxue muttered to herself.
Chu Xingchen blushed slightly when he heard this, but he still took off his outer clothes slowly, turned around and unbuttoned his inner shirt, then lay down on the couch, revealing his lean and strong back.
Among the crisscrossing old scars, there was a huge knife mark, the knife edge rolled out the red flesh inside, and a lot of blood seeped out from the knife edge, staining the removed inner clothes red.
Su Yingxue dipped gauze in liquor and wiped the wound bit by bit to disinfect it.
Then he dipped his hand in the ointment and applied it little by little to the wound on Chu Xingchen's back.
Until all the wounds were carefully healed by her.
Su Yingxue asked Chu Xingchen to stand up and sit in front of her. The scar on his back was too hideous. Su Yingxue hesitated for a moment, then wrapped him with a medicated gauze to prevent infection from friction between the wound and his clothes.
She lay in front of his window and wrapped gauze around his chest and back again and again. Su Yingxue had never bandaged anyone's wound before, so she didn't know how to tie knots.
Her breath sprayed on his chest as she moved. As she bandaged and applied medicine, she asked him, "Brother, how did you get hurt?"
The candle flame flickered slightly, and suddenly, the crackling sound of the burning wick broke the tranquility of the night.
Chu Xingchen's voice was hoarse as he whispered the whole story.
He told her that he had only rescued half of the women from the Jiaofangsi and provided them with shelter.
He retrieved the bodies of her female relatives and tribesmen who had been beaten to death and buried them.
Chu Xingchen only said these two sentences, without mentioning the difficulties he faced in doing this matter, but Su Yingxue's eyes still turned red.
Were all the knife scars on his body caused by her?
The knife marks all over his body all spoke of the difficulty of rescuing people and recovering corpses...
Obviously, she, Su Yingxue, is the one who should take care of the injured people in the tribe...
But Chu Xingchen silently, without saying a word, braved the bloody storm for her and solved the current predicament for her...
And she knows nothing...
He didn't even know he was hurt because of him...
"Brother..." Su Yingxue suddenly felt sad, and something seemed to have quietly broken the ice in her heart, and it slowly melted...
Su Yingxue suppressed the moisture in her eyes as she finished the last bandage and finally tied a beautiful bow around his neck. She only knew how to tie a bow.
She threw the blood-stained gauze into the charcoal brazier and burned it clean, then washed her hands and put all the medicines, gauze and medicine boxes back in place.
She also poured him a cup of tea, placed it on the bedside table and handed it to him.
"Thank you..." Su Yingxue saw him sitting leisurely drinking tea, and finally couldn't help but utter a word of gratitude.
"Sister, you don't have to thank me..." Chu Xingchen heard this, his eyes flickering under the candlelight. His dark eyes were like a deep abyss, covering up all his emotions.
"I want to say..." Su Yingxue was the first to break the silence, "I don't want to owe anyone a favor to my brother. How about this, if my brother needs me in the future, I will agree to one condition."
"As long as my brother asks, one, do not harm the ethical Tian Gang, two, do not ask my sister to betray the country and the people, and three, do not harm my sister's relatives."
Su Yingxue thought about it, added some details, then lowered her head and looked at the young man sitting on the bed.
"Look, is this okay?"
As soon as Su Yingxue finished speaking, she looked at the young man in front of her in a daze, with a serious expression.
The young man's face turned pale instantly when he heard this.
Every word and every sentence was not a thank you, but a way to draw a clear line between them and him!
What do you owe him?
She clearly wanted to settle everything with him, but why did she need such a clear boundary with him?
Afraid that her brother Mo would misunderstand?
Or was he afraid that if she didn't draw a clear line between them, her brother Mo would care? Would it affect their romantic lives, enjoying the snow, flowers, tea, and incense?
Chu Xingchen's eyes were cold and displeased as he stared at the girl in front of him.
Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Chu Xingchen's voice was hoarse. He stood up and leaned close to her ear. With a charming and hoarse voice, he asked her word by word, "Sister, do you really want to draw a clear line between you and me?"
"But I don't want to do it this way, just as my sister wishes..." Chu Xingchen's voice was hoarse, and he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and asked her softly, "My sister's one condition can only offset the favor of resettling the tribe members and collecting their bodies, right?"
Su Yingxue thought it made sense and nodded.
"Then sister, do I need some thank you for all these knife wounds?" Chu Xingchen asked softly in a hoarse voice.
He had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and his gaze was fixed on Su Yingxue. His eyes were dark and unclear, and he looked at her indifferently, not knowing what he was thinking.
But his words sounded very reasonable to Su Yingxue. After hearing this, Su Yingxue said seriously, "Brother, what you said makes sense. I really have to thank you..."
"But brother, what thank you gift do you want..."
Before Su Yingxue finished her words, Chu Xingchen, who was standing in front of her, smiled slyly. His eyes were deep and sly like a fox, making people feel hard to guard against.
Su Yingxue felt something was wrong, but before she could react, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
"Brother..." Before she could finish her words, the man had already restrained her slender waist with his iron arms, spun her around, and pressed her firmly on the bed.
