Chapter 41 Injuries

  Li Jinhua let out a low growl, her face immediately turned pale as paper, her back hurt as if it was going to break, and big beads of sweat also emerged from under her skin, her vision began to blur.

  This was the first time Xia Ren had been injured in battle, her armor was quite good at protecting her and she hadn't suffered any external injuries, but this blow to her back was a blunt one. At first, she didn't feel much of anything, just a dull ache, so she hadn't paid it much mind. With all the things that happened afterwards, her mood had been up and down, and she hadn't even had time to think about it.

  She rushed all the way here, but her back was getting more and more painful. She had a strong character, but the lives of so many people were weighing on her shoulders, and she gritted her teeth to hold on. It's necessary to dissipate the blood stasis for such an injury, and quiet nursing is needed, but first, there are too many things to do, and secondly, it's all men in the army, and no one has treated her like this before. Her personal soldiers were all rough men, and they didn't notice anything unusual about her until now, when she suddenly fell ill, and was in so much pain that she almost fainted.

  Zhao Shi saw from the side and naturally couldn't think that his few words would make her look like this, he was experienced and understood at a glance that she was injured.

  Hurry up and go forward, press down the struggling woman who still wants to get up, take off her helmet with one hand, and ask calmly: "Don't move, where are you hurt, I'll take a look."

  Li Jinhua's mind was already somewhat confused, and she said in a low voice: "Back... ...back hurts so much..." But as soon as the helmet was removed, her head cleared up a lot, and she immediately realized that this injury was absolutely not to be seen by a man. "You... ...you go out, I'm fine, just let me rest for a while..."

  "Don't move..." The voice slowed down, and his fingers gently pressed against her forehead. He was an expert in psychological manipulation and battlefield first aid. Now, the lives of everyone outside, including those from Zhao's village, and even his own life, were all in this woman's hands. If she fell, they would be in extreme danger. After experiencing the battle at Little Hill, he no longer had such great confidence in surviving a chaotic battle. This wasn't a modern battlefield where one could survive with good technique, excellent equipment, and complete electronic devices that accurately grasped the battlefield environment, defeating a small number of opponents to end the fight. This was the era of cold weapons; he could handle one person, two people, or even ten people, but not hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of people killing each other. No one could guarantee their own safety in such a battlefield, and neither could he. So, the woman couldn't fall.

  "Take off your clothes, let me take a look... Maybe the bone is broken, you can't go on like this, I... have stitched up bones for the dog at home before, it's nothing to be afraid of, just rest for a few days and it'll be fine. If we don't treat it now, the bone will heal in the wrong position later, and you won't be able to move for the rest of your life..." He cracked a joke, which helped ease the other person's psychological defenses and relax their mood. These battlefield first aid methods and measures were as familiar to him as eating and sleeping."

  Indeed, Li Jinhua was already in so much pain that she couldn't speak, but when a man's hand touched her body, her heart was also extremely flustered. However, this normally cold and distant young man said something like this, and she forced a smile. After hearing it again, she didn't dare move, originally wanting to struggle free. Her strong personality wasn't fake, but with such pain on her back, she naturally feared that if she moved, she would be unable to move in the future. How could she achieve her ambitions or become a high-ranking official? Thinking of this, she no longer cared about the differences between men and women, etiquette, or propriety. She let the other person remove her armor, and a seductive blush appeared on her pale face. The burning sensation was like the pain on her back had lessened. Her teeth were clenched, her heart racing wildly, as if there was a rabbit jumping around in her chest. She hated that she couldn't find a hole to hide in right now.

  Zhou Shi took off her armor, and sweat appeared on her forehead. It wasn't due to tension, but rather the ancient armor looked simple, yet was complicated to wear. Most generals had their personal soldiers help them put it on. He hadn't done this kind of service before, so when he tried to untie the silk cord buttons, his hands were busy and confused. After a long time, he finally managed to take off Li Jinhua's armor, and he let out a sigh of relief.

  Li Jinhua wore a quilted jacket inside, all the way down, people didn't remove their armor, horses didn't remove their saddles, the quilted jacket was stained with blood and sweat, occasionally there were damaged places, revealing the inner clothes underneath, looking a bit shabby.

  At this time, Li Jinhua's face was rosy, her eyes tightly closed, and her fingers grasped the hem of her clothes. It was unclear whether she was in pain or tense, but her body shook from time to time. Amidst her weakness, there was a hint of beauty that made Zhao Shi's heart skip a beat.

  The voice behind him was getting lower and lower, and Zhao Shi didn't quite catch what she said. He had heard of the ancient TV and rumors that he had also seen before, it seemed that in ancient times, when a man and woman had physical contact, they would have to talk about marriage. He and this woman were already entangled together, and it seemed that there would be no shortage of trouble in the future. This person usually thought carefully about things, but this matter was not like others. Even if he had great abilities, at this time, he couldn't think of a reason for what was happening. He could only take things one step at a time. Who made him not grasp himself before?

  Zhao Shi's pupils contracted, but what caught his attention was not these. On Li Jinhua's back, starting from the left shoulder, a bruise stretched across her back to her right rib, at least half a finger wide and swollen. Due to the passage of time, it had turned a dark purple color, with two places already oozing blood. Against the woman's snow-white and delicate skin texture, it looked like a dark purple snake crawling on her back, appearing terrifying and eerie.
