OBS Chapter 137 Bellyband
Chapter 137 Bellyband
Nangong Min was worried that Mu Jin would catch a cold, so he quickly pushed Mu Jin into the tent.
Nangong Min stood outside the tent, his face slightly red, and whispered: "Ajin, change your wet clothes quickly to avoid catching a cold."
Mu Jin agreed verbally, but in her heart she felt that Nangong Min was too nervous about her.
After all, as she had trained in martial arts, she still had some resistance, but she still listened to Nangong Min and quickly changed her wet clothes.
Mu Jin changed his clothes quickly and walked out of the tent carrying the dirty and wet clothes.
She planned to go to the stream first and wash the dirty and wet clothes. She would hang them outside the tent tonight and let them dry in the morning so that they could be taken on the road easily.
Nangong Min walked towards Mu Jin only after he saw her walk out of the tent. He took the soaked clothes from her hands and said.
"Ajin, take a rest here for a while. The streamside is slippery. I'll take these clothes and wash them."
After Nangong Min finished speaking, he turned around and walked quickly towards the stream without waiting for Mu Jin's consent, as if he was afraid that Mu Jin would disagree if he was a little slower.
Whether in the present world or in this Dongyue Kingdom, no man has ever helped Mu Jin wash clothes by hand. Even if Mu Jin is thick-skinned, she still feels a little embarrassed.
But she saw Nangong Min running so fast, and if she went over to snatch the clothes back from Nangong Min, it would be even more awkward for both of them, so Mu Jin decided to be thick-skinned and pretend that nothing mattered.
Nangong Min walked to the stream, took Mu Jin's clothes and put them into the stream to wash.
In order to make it easier to travel, Mu Jin had been wearing men's clothes these days, so it was easy for him to wash them.
But as Nangong Min was washing, suddenly a bellyband fell out from Mu Jin's clothes.
At first Nangong Min didn't know what this piece of cloth was made of. When he realized that it was Mu Jin's underwear, his face instantly turned red, like a ripe tomato.
At this time, Nangong Min was holding Mu Jin's bellyband at a loss. He didn't know whether to wash it or not. It was like he was holding a hot potato, burning his whole body.
Nangong Min's mind suddenly went blank. He gritted his teeth, shook his hands, and hurriedly washed the bellyband. He placed it with other washed clothes on the stone he had just washed.
Then, he continued to pick up Mu Jin's pants and put them in the water to wash. However, when he saw a trace of blood on Mu Jin's trouser legs, he was stunned.
He seemed to have thought of something, and the blush on his face immediately disappeared completely.
Nangong Min immediately put down the clothes he was washing, turned around and ran back to Mu Jin's side, squatted down, no longer thinking about the matters between men and women, and reached out to grab Mu Jin's legs.
Mu Jin looked at Nangong Min with some confusion and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Nangong Min asked nervously: "Your leg is injured? Why didn't you tell me just now?"
Mu Jin instinctively retracted his foot and whispered, "It's just a little skin broken, it's okay."
Nangong Min didn't believe it. He said to Mu Jin, "Let me take a look first. If there is any wound, it will fester tomorrow if you don't apply medicine."
In fact, when Mu Jin fell into the water, he was scratched on his calf by a sharp stone under the water.
When she changed her clothes just now, the bloodstains stuck to the fabric, and it really hurt so much that she gasped when she took them off.
However, Mu Jin didn’t want Nangong Min to worry about her.
Mu Jin said: "It's really okay, I can apply the medicine myself later."
Nangong Min looked at the bloodstains on the fabric of the trouser legs. He didn't believe what Mu Jin said that it was not a problem. He frowned and looked at Mu Jin, as if to say that he would not leave if he didn't show it to him.
Faced with such a persistent Nangong Min, Mu Jin had no choice but to compromise.
Nangong Min held Mu Jin's calf and slowly lifted the fabric on his trouser leg.
Since Nangong Min had just washed clothes, his hands, which had been soaked in the stream water, were a little cold. Also, due to his years of martial arts training, the thin calluses on his hands rubbed against Mu Jin's delicate skin, making Mu Jin feel uncomfortable, as if the skin wherever Nangong Min touched was getting hot.
The next moment, as Nangong Min once again lifted up the fabric of Mu Jin's trouser leg, the fabric that was stuck to the wound with blood was torn off again. Mu Jin almost screamed out in pain, but she still held it back.
"Why is the wound so deep?"
Nangong Min looked at it carefully, frowned and said, "If I hadn't found the bloodstains when I was helping you wash those clothes, would you have been hiding it from me?"
Mu Jin whispered, "I'm afraid you'll worry, and the wound will slowly heal. I thought, apply another layer of medicine powder before resting, and it will be healed tomorrow."
After a brief silence between the two, Nangong Min took out a square towel from his chest. He took out the water bag containing the warm water that the two of them usually drank on the road from his side, poured the warm water on the square towel, then held Mu Jin's calf with one hand, supported it on his knee, and wiped the blood around the wound with the other hand.
Mu Jin's cold soles pressed against Nangong Min's arms, making her feel a little warm, but more than that, she felt a little uncomfortable. She lowered her head, but her toes couldn't help but curl up slightly.
Nangong Min silently wiped the blood off Mu Jin's calf, then took out some medicine powder from his body and sprinkled it on Mu Jin's calf. He then took out another clean towel and carefully bandaged Mu Jin's wound.
While doing these, Nangong Min kept his head down silently, and his technique was very skillful and serious.
After everything was done, Nangong Min gently removed the cloth from Mu Jin's calves and put Mu Jin's legs back on the ground.
Mu Jin felt that Nangong Min was a little angry, but when Nangong Min raised his head and smiled at her gently, she thought it was her illusion.
Nangong Min turned around and went back to the tent. When he came out, he handed some dry food and fruits to Mu Jin.
"I'm sorry to ask you to eat these tonight. You have a wound on your leg and can't eat meat. You won't eat fish tonight. When the wound heals, if you still want to eat fish, I'll catch you another one and cook it for you, okay?"
Mu Jin smiled awkwardly at Nangong Min and said, "Okay!"
Nangong Min also smiled gently at Mu Jin: "Then you eat first, I'll go wash those clothes and come back to accompany you."
Mu Jin nodded, and Nangong Min turned back to the stream and continued to wash Mu Jin's clothes that had not yet been washed.
Mu Jin felt that Nangong Min took a little too long to wash her two clothes tonight.
It was not until quarter of an hour later that Nangong Min walked back, hung the washed clothes on the top of the tent, and then sat down next to Mu Jin.
Neither of them had much to say. After they finished their meals, they returned to their respective tents to rest.
It was another new day. Mu Jin opened her eyes and sat up. She stretched, opened the tent, and saw Nangong Min sitting not far away cooking porridge.
Nangong Min saw that Mu Jin had already woken up, looked in Mu Jin's direction, and said to Mu Jin with a smile: "Ajin, good morning."
"Good morning~" Mu Jin replied with a smile.
After Mu Jin finished washing up, Nangong Min helped Mu Jin change the medicine before packing up his things and taking Mu Jin on his journey.
