A Western Doctor’s Happy Farming Life[1] chapter 95

Song Qinghan detailed the plan to the three on their way to the club, including how they should act and how they should say.

Although the three of them didn’t understand why Song Qinghan would ask them to pretend to be bandits, they still kept Song Qinghan’s words carefully in mind, reciting every single word Song Qinghan had just said.

On the other side, Xu Ziyu was led by Xiao Lin to the alley. Walked aside by them was Wu Dahu who was with a face full of indifference. Xu Ziyu walked with arms akimbo, mocking while grinning, “HA, Brother Lin is going to show you something today! Brother Lin, come on now! Beat him until he begs you for stopping.”

Xiao Lin was resigned as his eyes were filled with sorrow, but he still rushed over to Wu Dahu, trying to start another fight with him.

It seemed that there had existed thousands of battles between Xiao Lin and Wu Dahu, and every time Xu Ziyu was staying in the same boat with Xiao Lin. He got a full confidence to his senior fellow apprentice. Well, as for Xiao Lin, the one who was long defeated by Wu Dahu every time while losing face, it was kind of a spiritual consolation.

Yet the most striking thing for him was that Wu Dahu was able to defeat him just in few days of practicing in the club. Wu Dahu seemed to be more skillful than him now who had joined the club for years. And this was one of the reason stressed him the most either.

He probably wouldn’t be a rival against Wu Dahu if Wu Dahu kept this rate to get his skills more sophisticated.

Thinking of that, his quickened the movements attacking Wu Dahu which forced Wu Dahu stepped back defending.

On defending himself, Wu Dahu observed the entrance of the alley at the same time.

At the moment he noticed a blurred cloth showed right at the street corner, he pushed forward against Xiao Lin till the man was forced to the end of the alley.

Xu Ziyu stamped on his feet with anger there, staring at the two who were about to end the battle as usual, he pursed his lips, grunting, “How comes this bull so powerful? The hell! Am I going to accept the fact to admit the defeat?”

Just as he was zoning out, three bulky men rushed over to him, teasing and flirting while uttering some bad and naughty words.

“Hey you beauty, seems that you got a lonely night. Want some fun with us?”

“Come on, we will take good care of you and your…”

“…”

At the moment one of the three reached out to grab Xu Ziyu’s waist, Xu Ziyu got his face darkened all of a sudden. With a nimble movement, he dodged, stepped backward and then pounced on the three with all his strength.

Although three of them weren’t good at martial skills, they got bulky appearance with huge body, wide and sloping shoulders. So it was quite easy for them to lock and fix Xu Ziyu’s arms and legs, seemingly they were about to carry Xu Ziyu on their shoulders.

Xu Ziyu, who finally was scared, saw that Wu Dahu and Xiao Lin were still fighting not far away, he shouted with frightened resignation, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING OVER THERE?? SAVE ME, FOR THE BUDDHA’S SAKE!!”

As Xiao Lin was about to get free from the fight, Wu Dahu dragged him behind. And then it was Xiao Lin who shouted loudly, “Wu Dahu, what do you think you’re doing? Ziyu is in danger right now, LET GO!”

Wu Dahu chuckled, and then he took a cold glance at Xu Ziyu, while saying with low voice, “Well, that’s the reason I drag you now. I won’t loosen my hands. Someone should teach him something by the way.”

WHAT? What a bastard! Xu Ziyu never thought that Wu Dahu was kind of a man who was with evil inside but pretended to be soft outside. With grievance, he struggled as his body wriggling like a fish, with his eyes were wild with rage, “LET GO OF ME, YOU BLOODY BASTARDS! I’m the femina son of the curator from the Linagyi Martial Club. If you really dare to take me, my father will surely find you and beat the sh*t out of you all! Are you hearing?”

But beyond his expectation, the three of the “Bandits” just stared at each other, relaxed. They weren’t even scared, but, on the contrary, grinned loudly, “Oh really? Shouldn’t your father recognize us first?”

After being reminded by their words, Xu Ziyi noticed that the three of them covered most of their faces with black turban. He couldn’t recognize any of them, let alone his father who got a blurred vision to make it. In thinking of that, he got tensed at once as the worry on his face grew more frightening, then cried loudly, “Wu Dahu! LET GO OF BROTHER LIN NOW. My father can’t punish them but you!”

Wu Dahu seemed to be quite stunned by Xiao Ziyu’s words, he took a pause zoning out. Xiao Lin got the chance to punched Wu Dahu on the nose, and after Wu Dahu fell on the ground, he rushed to Xu Ziyu.

In the face of Xiao Lin, two of the “Bandits” pulled out knives from their backs and then attacked Xiao Lin from two directions. The other one stood stay to lock Xu Ziyu.

The spirit was willing but the flesh was weak, it seemed that Xiao Lin had lost so much strength when he fought against Wu Dahu. He got his eyes a bit blurred and mind out of soberness, while getting few punches in the stomach with blood flowing out from his mouth.

Xu Ziyi’s nerve tightened as everything was just happening, and he cried, “Watch out, Brother Lin!”

Hearing that, Xiao Lin was inspired and full of beans all of a sudden, he gathered all his strength raising his bare fists high and then beat and kicked three of them on the ground and held Xu Ziyu’s waist over with on of his hands, while wiping the blood stain on his mouth with the other. He said, “Let’s go!”

Xu Ziyi glanced at Wu Dahu who was unconscious on the ground and grabbed the corner of Xiao Lin’s shirt, saying, “Are you putting him here? What if these three… ”

Xiao Lin staggered as if he couldn’t hold his steps anymore, he struggled to shake his head, saying, “Just move. He was just indifferent to you. That’s his punishment for that.”

Xu Ziyi was convinced, nodding. He supported Xiao Lin with his hands while Xiao Lin was holding his waist. Both of them went back to the Martial Club.

Song Qinghan wandered not far from the alley, and when he saw two of them leaving with their shadows dragged long on the road, he rushed into the alley, picked up Wu Dahu and shook gently on him. Noticing that Wu Dahu opened his eyes suddenly, he heaved a sigh with relief, and turned to the other three, saying, “Alright, let’s go now. We’ll get troubles if we still linger here.”

The three “Bandits” quickly erupted and then took off the disguises on their head, put away their knives and followed Song Qinghan, heading out of the alley in a flash.

After returning to the house, Song Qinghan finally got his nerve released, smiling to the three and saying, “Thank you so much for the assistance, stay and join our dinner.”

The three of them scratched their heads with smiles. saying with a same voice, “It’s nothing, Doctor Song, it’s our great honor to help you out, you’re so much welcome to find us if you need some other help in the future.”

Song Qinghan smiled and then took out the big pot full of steamed rice he had cooked beforehand and invited all the acrobatic members to join the dinner. They really had a great time in this dinner time.

After all the members left, Wu Dahu turned to Song Qinghan and asked, “Will it really work for just one show? Or should we play more until Xiao Lin finally get Xu Ziyu’s affection?”

Song Qinghan helped Wu Dahu untie his shirt and applied the medical cream on smiling and saying, “It’s enough! We will be suspicious if Xu Ziyu finally find out something wrong.”

Wu Dahu nodded pondering, and then he asked again, “Then what did you mean when you mentioned ‘other ideas’ days ago?”

“Flowers, diamond rings, candlelight dinner!”

Song Qinghan blurted out, as if he hadn’t thought that Wu Dahu would be puzzled by such things.

He realized that even if Wu Dahu heard something strange from his mouth, he would never get to the bottom of the matter but just showed his curiosity about what the words meant. That was why Song Qinghan would feel much free to say something anew to Wu Dahu. If it was Lin Dafu, Song Qinghan’s previous noble husband, probably he should resort any possible means to figure out bunch of words to replace the original modern ones in order to cover his identity up.

Yet he never knew whether it was because that Wu Dahu was slow on the uptake or he gave much credence on Song Qinghan, but Song Qinghan felt quite cozy in this relationship. Putting on disguise and pretending to be normal acting in an ancient style was quite a tiring task for him, after all.

Sure enough, Wu Dahu was utterly bewildered after Song Qinghan mentioned those three words, scratching himself on the head and pondering for a moment, and then he expressed his own idea slowly, “Flowers, do you want Xiao Lin to send Xu Ziyu some flowers? What is this for? For garland? And the diamond ring, I don’t quite understand… And the candlelight… Candlelight dinner! Do you mean a dinner with candle lighting around? Don’t we do the same thing every evening when we have our dinners? I mean, with the candle light on the table…”

“What a wooden brain!” mumbled Song Qinghan, he glanced at Wu Dahu and rolled his eyes a bit, and then explained, “Don’t you know that all femina men love something colorful? So I would recommend Xiao Lin to please Xu Ziyu with some colorful flowers for the first step. As for the ring, it’s… It’s kind of jewelry! The second step I would recommend Xiao Lin to do is to send Xu Ziyu some good-looking jewelry as present. And as for the candlelight dinner, of course it’s not like our daily dinner with candles. He must get more candles as many as he can get, because I would ask him to use all the candles to display a certain pattern, and Xiao Lin should invite Xu Ziyu into the circle. He will surely be moved by that ambience, trust me!”

Puzzlement could still be traced on Wu Dahu’s expression, but Wu Dahu didn’t buzz for further details. He just kept his mouth sealed, pursing his lips without a word as if something occurred to him all of a sudden in his mind.

Oh, that must be Song Qinghan’s fantasy too. Wu Dahu just found that he had never done one of those three things to Song Qinghan before…

Song Qinghan laughed as Wu Dahu lost in his thought, he patted Wu Dahu on the shoulder and put away the medical cream, uttering with satisfaction, “Let’s sleep now. We’ll see how Xiao Lin will beg you tomorrow!”

The next day, Wu Dahu reached the Liangyi Martial Club, and he found Xiao Lin seemed to be quite queer today from his sight on him. He didn’t say a word but just walked straightly to practice as usual passing by Xiao Lin.

Probably because he was not disturbed for the whole morning, Wu Dahu got a rather good mood and smooth practicing time. And surprisingly, he found himself was able to break through the limitation he met days ago, he got his martial skills attained a yet higher level.

He was excited right now, but… Xiao Lin seemed getting some ants in his pants, he was mind-absented the whole day!

Night fell as Xiao Lin was burning with anxiety, when he saw Wu Dahu stepped out the gate of the building, he followed behind hurriedly while looking around as if he was checking the other people. It was not until all the people left did he speed up his pace and meet Wu Dahu side by side. And then he whispered aside Wu Dahu, “Brother Wu, it seems that it did work! But I don’t think it’s enough, from Ziyu’s tone toward you, I know he will bother you again, sooner or later.”

Wu Dahu glanced at Xiao Lin in amazement as if he was quite shocked on Xiao Lin’s cheeky face.

Did this guy treat Wu Dahu as an enemy with such a great resentment? How came now he just called Wu Dahu a “Brother”?

Xiao Lin didn’t think further. But since Wu Dahu kept his silence, he thought his tone was just too implicit, and then he added, “Ziyu is conceiving of another plan to set you up. That’s all I know because he doesn’t fully trust me at all, so I know nothing further except that. If he can trust me more, I think at that time I am able to stop him and let you practice peacefully.”
