Chapter 14: Promise Not to Leave
Shen Xia quickly picked up the spray and gently sprayed it on his injured arm.
The medicine fell on the wound like mist, bringing a sense of coolness and relief.
Then, she expertly applied the plaster to her arm, the delicate touch seeming to provide a layer of protection.
The arm is then carefully splinted to ensure the position is correct.
Without stopping his actions, he continued to wrap his entire arm tightly with linen.
She carefully tied each knot so that the bandage fit snugly but not restricting blood circulation. Finally, she tied the end of the bandage into a knot and hung it around his neck, creating a firm and comfortable support.
Throughout the whole process, Shen Xia's eyes were focused and gentle, as if she was treating a precious work of art.
Her technique was skillful and meticulous, and every move was full of care and attentiveness. After finishing, she gently patted her second brother's shoulder and smiled and told him that it had been handled.
Song Ming looked at these strange things of Shen Xia.
Although I didn't understand it, I didn't ask.
Even this method of treatment is unheard of and unseen.
"Is it done?" Song Ming asked curiously.
Shen Xia nodded.
"Don't move this arm. It will be healed in more than half a month." Shen Xia said softly.
"Okay, second brother believes you."
Shen Xia looked at the light in his second brother's eyes.
If this is not good, I will be sorry for your trust!
Then put all the leftovers in your own little cupboard.
Clean up
Shen Xia went out to open the door
Looking at the group of people standing at the door, their eyes were full of worry.
Only Song's mother spoke up: "Xia Xia, is the second child okay?"
"It's okay, you will recover in more than half a month." Shen Xia said.
Everyone was shocked because the doctor had said that the second brother's arm was injured too badly and even if it healed he couldn't use force anymore.
That is to say, it is equivalent to being useless.
But now Shen Xia said that the second child can get better.
No one could believe it. Could it be that Xia Xia could feel the peerless medical skills in her dream?
It sounds unlikely no matter how you look at it.
At this time, Song Ming also walked to the door and looked at everyone and said, "I'm fine. I believe Xia Xia."
Everyone turned their eyes to Song Ming's arm.
Looking at this strange bandaging technique
Although I don't understand, it seems that Song Ming is fine in other places.
Just feel relieved.
It's getting late
Everyone washed their faces and feet and prepared to go to bed.
But Shen Xia felt uncomfortable all over after being out all day and wanted to take a shower.
Go fetch water.
Xiaowu went to help her fetch water, but he couldn't lift such a full bucket of water.
Then Song Ming came over and said, "Second brother Xia Xia, let me help you."
"No, brother, my arm is injured."
"Silly girl, second brother is left-handed, not right-handed, so it won't matter." After saying that, he carried the water to a corner of the room.
At that time, the floor of the house was all mud, so if you chose a corner to take a shower, the water would not flow everywhere, but would directly seep into the mud.
The reason why they don’t go to the toilet is mainly because it is too small, inconvenient and leaks air.
Shen Xia returned to the room. Although a bucket of water was not a lot, it could make her feel a little cooler.
For the elderly, the weak and the disabled in this family, this bucket of water is already a luxury.
After all, there is a shortage of labor now.
Song Jin and Xiao Wu washed their faces and took a bath in the kitchen.
Xiao Wu said, "Third brother, my sister is very clean, will she dislike us?"
"No, your sister Xia Xia is not that kind of person. Why do you think so much in your little head? You might not grow up tall." Song Jin said, but he was also worried.
After taking a shower, Shen Xia also washed her hair, and her whole body instantly felt comfortable.
It feels refreshing and cool.
After putting on all the clothes, he opened the door.
At this time, Song Jin and Xiao Wu were already waiting in the kitchen.
He walked over when he heard Shen Xia open the door.
"Xia Xia, have you finished washing?" Song Jin asked.
"Well, Third Brother, go in and have a rest!"
"Ok!"
The three of them still sleep together at night.
Maybe it was because Song Jin couldn’t see that Xiaowu was another child, so he didn’t feel there was any inconvenience in sleeping in the same bed.
Sleep is also OK.
There is not much activity at this time of night.
After eating, I go to sleep.
As for those who have become couples, they are busy creating new life - that is, giving birth to the next generation!
Therefore, during this period, the number of children in each family will be relatively more.
After all, once you become pregnant, everyone will choose to give birth to the child. Since abortion technology was not well developed at that time, it might result in two deaths.
It is said that the little brats are eating their parents to death. Our already poor life is ruined because we have so many children.
When conditions get better in the future, I must develop some entertainment interests, otherwise it would be so boring to just go to bed after dinner!
Of course, in the days that followed, we were faced with a group of wolves, so we had no time to play anything else. Of course, this is all a story for later.
As the three of them lay on the bed, each of them had his own thoughts.
Because Song Jin had an extraordinary keen sense of smell, he easily smelled a faint fragrance in the air.
There is no doubt that this unique and charming fragrance can only come from Shen Xia.
It was like her personal identifier, unique and unforgettable.
With every breath, the fragrance would linger around Song Jin's nose, making him involuntarily intoxicated by it.
I felt an indescribable emotion in my heart and my body started to feel hot.
Shen Xia thought for a while and then fell asleep in a daze.
In the middle of the night, I heard a low crying sound.
Maybe because Song Jin fell asleep very late, he was not woken up by the sound at first.
Until Shen Xia woke up
Listening carefully, I realized that it was Xiaowu crying in his dream.
Shen Xia turned around, hugged him gently, and patted his back: "Xiao Wu, did you have a nightmare? Sister is here, don't be afraid."
But because of Shen Xia's hug, the crying sound gradually became quieter.
Shen Xia wondered what the child was dreaming about and why he was crying so hard.
At this time, Song Jin also woke up: "Xia Xia, what's wrong?" Song Jin touched and felt Xia Xia's arm on Xiao Wu's body.
My hand retreated unconsciously.
"It's okay, Xiaowu had a nightmare." Shen Xia said.
"Okay, sorry to bother you!"
"It's okay. It's normal for children to feel restless when they sleep."
Song Jin just listened to Shen Xia patting Xiao Wu softly to coax him.
This gentle voice was not directed at himself.
At this moment, Xiaowu suddenly woke up for some reason.
"elder sister."
"Well! Xiaowu, you must be having a nightmare. Don't be afraid, sister will protect you." Shen Xia comforted.
Xiaowu was in her sister's arms, feeling so happy that she said, "I dreamed that my sister left. No matter how I called her, she didn't listen or pay any attention to me."
Shen Xia was also surprised when she heard this. Seeing Xiao Wu crying so sadly, she thought he was having a nightmare, but it turned out not to be the case.
I just dreamed of myself leaving, but I was so sad. What would happen if I really left?
Song Jin, who was standing next to him, heard Xiao Wu say this and thought it was just a dream and it didn't happen, but he still felt a little uncomfortable listening to it.
I also know that Shen Xia only has responsibility towards this family and not much affection.
This is especially true for us brothers.
To put it in a better way, maybe you should be nicer to your second brother.
Xiao Wu sensed Shen Xia's silence and said, "Is sister really going to leave?"
"No, sister won't leave."
"I don't believe you, you're lying." Xiao Wu didn't believe it.
Shen Xia was ashamed. It was really a breach of trust. She had a criminal record. So she said patiently, "Then what should we do to make Xiaowu trust his sister again?"
Xiaowu thought for a moment and said: "Sister swears."
"Okay, I swear that as long as Xiaowu doesn't let me leave, I will always be a family with Xiaowu for the rest of my life."
"Let's make a pinky promise"
How insecure this is, and we need double insurance.
Thinking of the children, I just let him do what he wanted.
Shen Xia stretched out his little finger and hooked it with Xiao Wu's little finger, and they said together: "Let's make a pinky promise and stick to it for a hundred years. If we change, we will be pigs and dogs."
"Is this all right?"
"Well, go to sleep!"
Only then did Xiaowu fall asleep peacefully in Shen Xia's arms.
