Chapter 164 Thief-Qinxue

The fourth thief
Fourteen Qin blood

"Are you really dizzy?"

When Jiang Mo heard Shao Jie's startled cry, he first raised his hand and tentatively pressed on the edge of the shoulder injury, twisting the stickiness that had come out of the fabric, and then limped after tapping on his numb calf. He turned around and stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom and looked sideways. With a little hesitation and concern, he felt the dull gaze behind him, and he bent his arms to half block the door.

She pulled off the loose collar of her housecoat and tilted her neck. She squinted her eyes awkwardly to look at the needle holes where the stitches had just been removed. From the corner of her eye, she slipped through the gap in the door panel and saw two hands poking in front of her body, not daring to move. Shao Jie was so amused that he almost rolled his eyes to the ceiling: "You are still staring at me when you are bleeding... Why don't you sit down and rest for a while? If you really pout, I will have to carry you to the hospital."

"I... don't faint from blood... Really, I'm just... a little... nervous when I see blood."

Shao Jie stumbled and murmured twice. After a few seconds, he suddenly turned around and dug out the expired and refilled medicine box at Officer Jiang's house. He held iodine and gauze and walked to the bathroom door. Behind the door. He rubbed it a few times on the mat next to him, "Is the wound open again? Can you treat it at home, Officer Jiang? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"Can you hope that I get better? Nothing is wrong, there is no collapse or crack. I went to the hospital in the middle of the night and jumped under Yu Luo's nose. I had to be scolded for several days - please, please pass me the iodophor."

Jiang Mo put his hand out of the door, holding a sterilized cotton swab and scraping the blood stains on his skin with a weak flexibility, "The [-]% of my time is a small blood vessel that was touched when the wound collapsed and was re-sutured. In addition, I was so busy during the New Year that I forgot about it - I thought the sutures were the kind that don't need to be removed. I only remembered when Dr. Yu Da called me at noon today... The head nurse told me that the healing was normal and there might be some. When bleeding occurred, I didn't take it seriously... When I just changed clothes, I just pulled off the gauze and threw it away. I didn't think of looking at it. I guess I pulled it off at Ma Xuhong's place in the afternoon, so I just looked at it... …Hiss—it’s quite scary.”

Jiang Mo, neither light nor heavy, had much patience to breathe into the shoulder blades that were out of her reach. She twisted her neck so much that she almost cramped. She held up the iodophor cotton swab with one hand, pursed her lips and pressed hard, rough and reckless. The purpose is to remove a thin layer of skin from the edge of the painful and itchy wound where new tender granulation sprouts have grown.

"Tell me next time, change dressings and remove sutures, and I will help you remember them."

Shao Jie, who had been lingering on the other side of the frosted glass with dry thoughts, sighed softly and helplessly.He reached out and grabbed the two cotton swabs filled with blood and mud that Jiang Mo held between his fingers, and before she could react and use force subconsciously, he pulled back her fair but ferocious face, "... You can’t be gentle with yourself.”

"...?"

It was rare that Jiang Mo swung an elbow without using muscle memory first while his brain was down and waiting for restart.

Her hands were still hanging on her shoulders in the posture of tugging at the collar, and her eyes widened as she looked in the mirror at Shao Jie who was carefully wiping her wounds with a frown between his brows. She could even vaguely see that it was wet and disinfected The wound where the medicine was applied could feel his breath that he held slightly and then sprinkled on his shoulder.

Jiang Mo felt a little hesitant for no reason in the blink of an eye.

Her recent meticulous care of Shao Jie has been a bit casual and almost natural - even though she clearly knew that this little kid had the purpose of trying to please, she still intentionally or unintentionally ignored the reasonable distance that should be maintained between the two people.

This trend is really not quite right.

Jiang Mo had actually known for a long time that her almost harsh "territorial consciousness" or resistance was mostly due to witnessing the tragic ending of her biological parents when she was young, which was almost the same as turning against each other.The lingering fears rooted in her heart made her unsure whether she could accept and maintain a close relationship outside of blood or work, and at the same time, calmly tolerate the possibility of facing it anytime, anywhere. Fall apart in an instant for any reason.

...However, the world of mortals is ethereal, so I'm just afraid of what might happen.In the final analysis, no matter how mature Officer Jiang is, he has not yet reached the age where the old monk has no desire and is waiting to die. Shao Jie's repeated and smooth expressions of goodwill and concern are so considerate that no one can refuse them. .

"The edge of the wound is still red... Do you need to apply some more medicine or something?"

Shao Jie was mid-sentence when he suddenly realized that Officer Jiang's thoughts seemed to have already flown out.He slightly raised his eyelids and looked at the absent-minded eyes in the mirror. He pressed the gauze tape with his fingertips nonchalantly, and through the thin layer of fabric, he wiped it inch by inch from the skin that had sprouted tender new flesh. ——

Jiang Mo's mind suddenly tightened as he was wandering away, and he shivered instinctively, and the exposed skin on his collar aroused fine goosebumps.

She quickly looked towards Shao Jie, and then saw the instigator Chunliang blinking innocently, raising his hand to press the light switch, tilting his head over her shoulder, and knowingly asked with concern: "Officer Jiang, are you cold?"

The bright and warm light evaporated a faint aroma mixed with the smell of blood in this small corner of the space. The moist, sweet and fishy smell instantly crawled into Jiang Mo's nasal cavity and rushed to the top of his head.

"...It's okay, you don't have to be so careful, just put the gauze on it."

Jiang Mo pretended to be calm and cleared his throat, his mind was like a paste.She released her fingers that were holding the collar, and patted the back of Shao Jie's hand, who was using the warmth of his palm to bond the tape to his skin. Unexpectedly, the cold skin on his fingertips touched the child behind her somewhere. Without thinking, he was stunned for less than half a second and suddenly grabbed Jiang Mo's wrist. He subconsciously took a half step forward and pressed Officer Jiang, who seemed to be struggling unintentionally, against the sink. It was difficult to move.

Then Jiang Mo raised his eyes and saw his Adam's apple rolling, and his harmless and clear eyes were as dark as ink.

"Officer Jiang, you are a little too...reassured of me."

Jiang Mo finally came back to his senses at this moment, caught Shao Jie's intense gaze, and blinked slowly.

The self-righteousness in Shao Jie's self-righteousness that seizes the opportunity for confrontation is not so much the well-known sense of oppression among adults, but rather can be described as a small canine that stares at its prey with eagerness, but bares its teeth to the point where it can't get enough of it. , the summary description is more accurate and clear.

Jiang Mo stared at Shao Jie who started to feel guilty as soon as Mang Jin'er looked up. He glanced at his lips that were gradually tightening into a thin line. He frowned slightly and then sneered. He raised his eyebrows calmly and glanced at He hit his forehead hard.

Shao Jie was a little confused. He was thinking about finding an opening for himself to retreat up the stairs. He instinctively shrank back as if to save his life, but Jiang Mo caught the flaw in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the world was spinning around him, and he was confused. Officer Jiang grabbed the door frame with his backhand and squeezed the side of his face to prevent him from moving.

"Kids, weigh yourself."

Jiang Mo hummed and leaned into Shao Jie's ear.

"If you want to be beaten, just go ahead. Don't worry, I'll make sure there won't be any traces left on the parts of your body that can't be covered by the fabric."
