Chapter 95: Welcome to Ningzhuo 3 (1/2)

outside the borders of Ningzhuo

Yu Tao and some male servants came in with two bowls of water, alcohol, medicine and bandages. He instructed the servants to arrange them by the bed before leaving. Su Liya came in after them. Lu Yaozhu looked up as the tent flaps were pushed open.

Su Liya had cleaned up during the time, she waited for the water to boil and was now dressed in a simple green blouse and skirt, her hair which was braided into a single slim braid. The weather conditions were a little worse in the north but apart from her skin looking a little rough, she looked okay.

Even after being married for some time, he still gr a little surprised by her exquisite features. He was a rough military man who spent years on the battlefield and wasn't one to be into looks but he had to admit that his wife was quite the beauty.

During the few banquets they had attended before leaving the capital, he had caught a few men looking at her with star stroked eyes. Although she didn't encourage any of the men, he could see the blind Worship in their eyes. It was a good thing that she never agreed to stay back at the capital, he would have been worried for her.

She walked picked up a small bowl of water and a clean cloth as she came closer to him, ”take off your shirt, I need to see how bad your injuries are”.

Lu Yaozhu pulled back slightly and open his mouth to discourage her but her next words closed all possible channels for him, ”don't give me that bullshi_ I mean unnecessary statements on how men and women are different. It is not like I am asking you to take off your pants”

He tilted his head sideways and looked at her thoughtfully, ”you are a very strange woman”.

”why because I am not blushing like the usual innocent little girls from this time. Please I like being practical, there is no time to act bashful. Your wound could get infected, I don't have time for that nonsense” she clicked her tongue and gazed at him expectedly.

His lips tipped up, he was starting to get used to her plain speech. She always sounded more honest than the young ladies that acted shy. He held the ends of the soiled free shirt, pulled it over his head and dropped it on the ground. It was torn and dirty, it wasn't reusable anymore.

Su Liya eyes drew to his abs as he pulled his shirt up but she quickly looked away when he pulled the shit over his head. She looked at him in a new light, he had abs for a lean man. She placed the bowl of water on a small stool next to the bed and soaked the clean cloth into the water.

She squeezed the water out and cleaned the cute and gashes on Lu Yaozhu's shooter and chest with the wet cloth. She quickly took in some air when she got to the gash on his stomach. The Gash was deep, blood gushed out of it. Although the blood was now clothing and the leading was slower. The trail of blood below it was much.
