The Grey Age Chapter 12 My name is Maggie
The phone rang at an inopportune time, picked up the phone and saw that it was Dabin calling, and then glanced at the girl in front of him, and then quickly came to the bathroom.
"Hey" Before I could say anything, Dabin's loud voice began to call again.
"Kuroko, didn't you get up, don't be late at six o'clock in the afternoon"
"I said can you lower your voice, tell you something, let's change the time of dinner, I have something to do here, it's half past twelve, how about we meet on time at three o'clock?"
"Okay, no problem, I'll be okay at what time, wait for you to come, brother will surprise you"
Dabin agreed, it seems that this guy hasn't encountered anything strange.
"Okay, that's it."
After saying that, I hung up the phone, I didn't tell him about the thrilling scene that just happened, after all, the girl next door is still outside, it's not good to delay too long, and it's not too late to meet Dabin and talk again.
When I returned to the living room, I saw that the girl had recovered at this time, so I had nothing to say to avoid embarrassment.
"Well, you can't go back to your house for a while, why don't you rest on the sofa for a while?"
The girl stood at the door, raised her head to look at me, slowly walked to the sofa and sat down, took off her slippers, put the mobile phone in her hand next to the sofa, picked up the back of the sofa and hugged it to her chest, the whole body shrunk into a ball, and it seemed that she was frightened.
"Then you rest for a while, I'll go boil some water."
With that, I walked into the kitchen and began to boil water somewhat absent-mindedly. A few minutes later, I returned to the living room with the kettle in hand, picked up the two cups on the coffee table, poured half of the hot water, and handed one of the cups to the girl. The girl took the glass of water and placed it in front of her, letting the heat fumigate her pretty face.
"Come, take, wipe your face"
I turned and went into the bathroom, washed a towel, and took out iodine and a medical swab from the medicine box under the TV cabinet and walked to the girl.
"Was my Mi Niu beaten to death by you just now?"
The girl took the towel, put down the pillow in her arms, looked at me with teary eyes and trembling lips.
"You can see it, if I didn't hit it just now, it would have come out, and we would both have to be bitten to death." I just wanted to disinfect the wounds on the girl's body, and when I heard the girl say this, I was stunned and said helplessly. As soon as I finished speaking, the general came to me from the outside of the coffee table and called out twice. This frightened the girl, threw away the towel and picked up the pillow and was about to slam it on the general's body, I quickly stopped: "Eh! Stop! The general did not fall ill! ”
But the girl really wanted not to hear me, closed her eyes and gritted her teeth to pick up the pillow, the general had long been hiding far away, only I was constantly being attacked by the pillow, I was a little angry, immediately put down the iodine wine and cotton swab in my hand, grabbed the pillow, and said loudly to the girl: "I said what's the matter with you?" Huh!? ”
Before I could finish speaking, the girl began to lower her head and cry again, and my anger was also dissipated by her crying.
"Alas, when is it now, crying can't solve the problem, it's a blessing to be able to save your life, you didn't watch how many people were bitten to death directly on TV!"
I tried to persuade the girl, but the more I said that, the louder the girl wept, and at last she started crying. On the contrary, I was a little overwhelmed, and I didn't know if I was a bit psychopathic, but I felt that the girl in front of me was crying and looked good.
Sitting on the couch, I didn't move, and the girl cried for more than ten minutes before it gradually stopped, during which the general couldn't stand the noise and ran to the toilet for refuge, while I could only sit on the couch and wait for her.
"Now disinfect you, it hurts a little, you bear with it"
Seeing that she was almost crying, it was time to disinfect the wound. With that, I pulled out two cotton swabs, dipped them in the iodine that had been opened on the lid, and then carefully examined the scars on the girl's body. There were three visual scars, one on the neck, one on the medial thigh of the right leg, and one on the ankle of the left foot. I approached the girl and disinfected the wound on her neck first.
The girl's skin was very white, in strong contrast with the bright red of the blood, the wound was very deep, about five centimeters long, and the blood had not dried up until now, I have to say, she was very lucky, if the wound was moving two centimeters upwards and cutting the major artery, then this matter would be a big deal today. The swab had just touched the girl's wound, and she was shaking slightly in pain, and I looked at her, and now I closed my eyes, gritted my teeth, and began to sweat, thinking to myself, "Does this thing hurt so much?" ”
"What's your name?"
"Maggie Chen"
The girl's answer was brief, and I nodded nondeniably. I wanted to distract her, so I started asking questions.
"Ah, my name is Qi Mo, we can be regarded as acquaintances this time, by the way, what's going on with your dog?"
"I don't know, just now..."
As she spoke, tears glistened in Maggie's eyes, and I quickly changed the subject.
"When did you move here, I've lived here for almost ten years and haven't seen you a few times."
"Three years ago"
"Three years ago... By the way, have you watched the news in the past two days? A lot of dogs are like your dogs, and they bite people like crazy for no reason, do you know what's going on? Okay, come on, stretch your legs over. ”
I asked Maggie to stretch her thighs over, the wound on the inner thigh was a scratch about ten centimeters long, looking at this slender and tight white leg, my heart was slightly rippling, no wonder someone always said "white skin and beautiful long legs" Today I finally saw it up close.
Fortunately, the wound was not deep, only some blood seeped outward. Maggie was silent for a long time and didn't speak, I didn't care, this kind of thing, even I don't know, how could she know? But I didn't see the process of the girl's eyes changing from sadness to solemnity. "Did you tell your parents what happened here?"
Maggie shook her head, my brow furrowed slightly.
"What about your friend?"
Maggie shook her head again, and I didn't ask anything more, because the wound on my thigh had already been healed, and it was strange to always be in such a position. Next is the wound at the ankle.
"That, you tap, I'm afraid of itching"
The girl was slightly shy, and her face was red. I nodded with a strange look on my face, thinking, "Afraid of itching? I don't scratch the soles of your feet, what are the itches? ”
When the girl reached for her feet, I began to clean the wound, which did not look like a dog bite or scratch, but more like a sharp bump by accident, the wound was a little deep, and the white skin turned blue and purple at this time. I had just wiped it with a cotton swab, and Maggie's feet snapped back like lightning.
"Well, I'm afraid of itching."
"Okay, good, tap, tap.."
I was perfunctory, after all, how light should this disinfection be?
Maggie got my answer and stuck her foot out, but as it turned out last time, the cotton swab had just touched the skin on her ankle, and she retracted her foot like an electric shock.
"If you bear with it a little, it'll be fine right away, you can't do it without disinfection."
I was a little speechless, this is not a playhouse, so I said to Maggie in a somewhat serious tone. Maggie was a little embarrassed to stretch her foot over again, this time I was quick to catch Maggie's soles of feet, Maggie kept struggling and giggling, I aimed at the wound and rubbed back and forth a few times, only then did I release Maggie's tender soles, Maggie looked at me with a look of resentment, and squeezed out two words from between my teeth: "Thank you"
"Hehe, okay, after the poisoning, you have to go for a rabies vaccine in a while."
I smiled and threw away the used swab and said to myself.
"Huh? Don't, right? ”
Maggie was resistant, seemingly unwilling to get the rabies vaccine at all.
"No, after being bitten by a rabid dog, isn't it normal to get a rabies vaccine?"
"I, I.."
Maggie couldn't say anything.
"That's it, it's one o'clock in the afternoon, you can't go back to your house for the time being, you take a towel to the bathroom to wash, I'll have something to do in a while, I'll send you there by the way.."
"I'm dizzy..."
The girl timidly interrupted me.
"Sickness? Then you have to get vaccinated, don't you say everything in the announcements on TV? There can be no fluke, as a bioengineering researcher, I also tell you that you must be vaccinated. ”
Maggie finally relented, got up and went to the bathroom to clean up the blood, while I picked up the warm glass on the coffee table and took two sips.
"Stinky boy, come here."
I greeted the general. The general wagged his little tail, ran over with his fart, and rolled back and forth on top of me all at once...
Ten minutes later, Maggie walked out of the bathroom, and it seemed that she was finally back to normal.
"We have to go now, I have something to do at three o'clock in the afternoon, if you want clothes, you can wear this."
As I spoke, I picked up the down jacket I had hung on the hanger from my dad and handed it to Maggie, and pulled out a new pair of never-before-used padded sweatpants from the bedroom closet, which I bought last year and only wore once. If you wear shoes, you can wear slippers first, and there is a store selling shoes opposite the community, so you can buy a pair temporarily.
I found an old down jacket from the closet and put it on my body, and after getting dressed up, I went to the door of the room with Maggie, and just about to open the door, the general ran up to me, grinning and panting, seeing that it meant to go out with me, I squatted down and touched the general's head.
"Stinky boy, be obedient, I'll be back in a while, you give me honesty, don't tear down the house!"
After saying that, the general reluctantly turned around, walked step by step to the blanket under the coffee table, lay down to rest, and Mei Qi and I walked out of the door.
Maggie limped in front of me, looking at her back, my heart was filled with doubts, but I didn't have a clue why, I just felt weird, and I couldn't say it.
