A Western Doctor’s Happy Farming Life[1] 104

After lunch, just as Wu Dahu was about to take a short nap, someone knocked on the door. He rushed over while getting his face rather sullen, but when he opened the door and found out it was only Old Zhu who stood alone outside, he got a relieved expression, saying, “Are you coming for Han, right? He’s…”

“No no no, I am coming here for you today.” Old Zhu answered, as he smiled big while getting his eyes narrowed into lines.

Wu Dahu knew that Old Zhu got a close relationship with Zhai Su, but he also knew that Old Zhu wasn’t the man who got an affair with Zhai Su. So he just asked with a plain expression, “What do you want from me?”

Old Zhu smiled again as he held his own hands there. saying, “Thanks to Doctor Song, my grandson’s getting better and better now! I’ve got a headache thinking of a way to repay you guys, but forgive me, I am too old to get you something new. But, I just want you to get informed that Xing Liyu, the Number One Scholar of last tournament, happens to visit this town recently. A banquet will be held tonight to welcome him, and at that time all manners of childes will gather and show their skills. All of them are excited to meet Xing Liyu and eager to ask him for some advice. So I am here to ask you, are you coming with me?”

A lust seemed to emerge gradually on Wu Dahu’s face. Well, the banquet, which got such a noble name itself, must be a chance for those nobles to gather together and show off. But if Wu Dahu could really get a chance to show up in that gathering, probably he could get Xing Liyu’s attention, and if he was able to make a friend with the guy, he would surely gain a brighter future even if he lost the tournament.

And, even if he failed to attract the Xing Liyu’s attention, he could make a huge progress in his martial skills if he could get some advice from Xing Liyu.

He did want to attend that gathering. But what confused him the most was that the old man would give him the chance instead of others, he wouldn’t believe that there was no one in his huge Zhu Mansion wanted that chance.

Elder Zhu seemed to have noticed Wu Dahu’s concerns and then he said with a sincere expression, “Well, you’re one of the most skillful men who get a profound foundation on martial skills. I think if you can get some advice from Xing Liyu, you will be quite promising to win the tournament. At that time I will be able to bask in the light of your glory.”

Wu Dahu sank into a long while silence after that, but he still nodded while making a bow with his hands folded in front, and saying, “Alright then, I will be much honored to get the invitation from you.”

Old Zhu’s smile got even brighter after Wu Dahu’s response, he then made an appointment with Wu Dahu about the time and the place. And after that, he greeted Song Qinghan in the house and turned around and left

Song Qinghan saw that Wu Dahu had a serious expression after closing the door, he then asked curiously, “What’s wrong?” Isn’t that a good thing?

Wu Dahu sighed softly and nodded, “Well, it’s a good thing though. But I am just worried that it might be hard for me to return the favor.”

Song Qinghan reached out to caress Wu Dahu on the eyebrows, then pursed his lips, saying, “It seems that you’ve got more annoyances since we moved here in this provincial capital.”

Wu Dahu was utterly stunned after hearing that, he slowly lowered his face and pondered for a moment, and then he raised his face again smile in relief, reaching out to hold Song Qinghan over in his arms and whispering, “Sorry, I might have thought too much. It’s nothing big at all. At the worst, we still can go back to the village and keep our farming life.”

“Yes,” Song Qinghan leaned close to Wu Dahu listening to the strong heartbeat of the man, and then he used his face to rub Wu Dahu on the chin, murmuring, “It’s home as long as you’re aside by me. I don’t even mind what life we will get as you are by my side.”

Wu Dahu was moved, he lowered his face and then kissed Song Qinghan deeply on his forehead, hugged him even tighter.

Well, sweet time always went so fast. Not long, it was time again for Wu Dahu to head to the Liangyi Martial Club, Song Qinghan saw Wu Dahu off with reluctance. Just as he was about to take a nap, a harsh and ear-splitting squeal broke the peace of the noon. It was a noise came from the enclosure where the sheep stayed.

He rushed over to the place hurriedly. And to his great surprise, a female sheep was just delivering a baby! And the sheep fetus had had its half body exposed out in the air, and almost dropped onto the ground.

He hurriedly grabbed a large handful of grass and vegetables and threw them into the enclosure. For one reason he did so was to ensure that the female sheep in labor could get enough nutrition, and for the second, he was afraid that if the fetus fell on the ground, it probably would die.

“Baa…” a crisp sound rang suddenly, and Song Qinghan finally came to a relief as he noticed that the fetus sheep landed safely.

Since the female sheep succeeded delivering, that would mean… Little Shitou got milk to drink now?

With that thought, he got into the kitchen and got out a clean bowl in a big size, and then sneaked into the fence and walked to the female sheep, squatted down and approached to squeeze one of the breasts while the fetus was enjoying the other. He could clearly smell the fragrance of milk given off from the sheep.

After squeezing half a bowl, he hurriedly stepped out the fence and rushed to the kitchen again, poured all the milk into the pot and lit up the fire.

After the boiled milk cooled down, Little Shitou happened to be hungry and fierce crying for food. Song Qinghan tentatively fed him with several spoons of milk, Little Shitou put his tongue out and stared at the bowl greedily while stretched forth his tiny hands tying to get the spoon. Seeing that, Song Qinghan chuckled all of a sudden and he came to know that Little Shitou was quite accustomed to the flavor of the sheep milk. And then slowly, he finished feeding Little Shitou with the whole bowl of milk.

After feeding Little Shitou, he wiped the sweat on his forehead and then was all eagerness to take a nap. But unexpectedly, there came again a noise of door-knocking sound.

He sighed and shouted toward outside, “WHO’S THERE?”

“Your Young Mistress, is that you? Our Old Master asked us to come here.”

A voice with a flattering tone rang outside the door. But Song Qinghan didn’t like that at all, he couldn’t help but feel a bit disgusted all of a sudden.

What Young Mistress or Young Master thing? All these words just reminded him of the scene he had watch on TV that bunch of grumbling rich women gossiped with each other in their huge and empty mansions.

He got to the door and opened, but he then frowned tight as he saw a line of people waited outside the door, “What does he want?”

The leader among the group pushed Song Qinghan away in an unintentional manner. He waved and gestured to the group motioning them to get in. In a flash, they scattered to occupy each corner within the house.

Seeing that Song Qinghan’s face was getting sullen all of a sudden, the leader covered his mouth and chuckled, waving the handkerchief in his hand and saying, “Your Young Mistress, please don’t worry. We’re sent by Old Master to serve you here. Just enjoy that.”

Looking at the femina leader who was playing a mystifying trick, Song Qinghan couldn’t help but feel further disgusted, and then he answered in coldness, “We don’t welcome you guys here, GET OUT OF HERE, RIGHT NOW!”

The man’s face stiffened but he quickly covered the embarrassment by a hypocritical smile. And then he turned his face to those servants and commenced ordering them to clean the whole house as if he was pretending that he didn’t hear a word from Song Qinghan.

Song Qinghan got irritated all of a sudden as he found that the femina leader didn’t even give a sh*t to him, he sneered and took out a scalpel suddenly and placed menacingly on that femina leader’s neck, shouting, “GET OUT NOW! OR YOU WILL SEE WHAT I AM GOING TO DO!”

The feeling of the cold blade was so real to the femina leader, and then he shivered, didn’t even dare to doubt the truth of Song Qinghan’s utterance. And then he hurriedly urged, “Get out, get out! Everyone just get out of here right now!”

it was not until the other servants left the house did Song Qinghan loosened his hands and pushed the femina leader to the outside. “Bang!” the door closed fiercely.

The femina leader touched his neck, and then patted himself on the chest as if he was calming himself down and trying to convince himself that it was just a false alarm. And after that, he patted ferociously on the door again, shouting, “How can you treat me like that?! Let’s see, you will be regretful after our Young Master comes back! You jealous jerk! You malicious jerk! You! You vicious jerk!”

After Song Qinghan tidied up the things the servants had messed up, he walked quickly to the door and said coldly, “Do you dare to shout again? My knife doesn’t get an emotion as I do, probably next time it will be thirsty for blood!”

it seemed that a dreary silence overwhelmed the outside all of a sudden after Song Qinghan finished his words, and then Song Qinghan sneered. Well, those people were just some timid mice who cravenly clung to life instead of braving death.

After tossing for so long, Song Qinghan was already very sleepy. He took a nap with Little Shitou. By the time he woke up, the night had already fallen.

When Yuan Wenxuan came back from Huichun Shop, he almost thought he had found the wrong place. He knocked on the door with confusion and a bit fright. When he walked into the yard, he turned to Song Qinghan and asked in confusion, “Master, who are those people outside? Are they troubling you?”

Song Qinghan brought out the dishes he had cooked and said without any mood swings, “Just ignore them. They just came here for some punishment!”

Yuan Wenxuan nodded and approached to help scoop up the rice. He didn’t bother to ask for further details as he noticed that Wu Dahu hadn’t come back yet, and just finished dinner with no words.

Wu Dahu came back when the darkness outside got even darker. He frowned while staring at those strange people outside the yard, and then asked seriously, “Who are you guys? Why are you here blocking the way in front of my house?”

Everyone was wakened up from their drowsiness all of a sudden by the fierce shout, and then it was the femina leader who turned his face to Wu Dahu, he cried while wiping his tears on his face, “Your Young Master! We’re all sent by Old Master to serve you, we got here at noon, but we didn’t expect that Young Mistress just hate us so much and he blocked us out mercilessly. We just waited here for hours!”

The femina cried and sobbed while he was speaking, his voice was loud and hysterical as if he was accusing Song Qinghan of being rude. But instead, how he sounded right now was just like a duck “quacking”.

Hearing that, Wu Dahu frowned even tighter and asked coldly, “Since you’ve waited outside here for hours, did you enter the house?”

The femina leader thought Wu Dahu would be of wrath over Song Qinghan’s childishness, so he hurriedly fanned the flames, saying, “We did go inside! But Young Mistress just kicked us out on the butt! I just reaffirmed that we were sent by our Old Master, but Young Mistress just ignored that as if he never respect our Old Master at all.”

As he finished the last bit of his words, he raised the handkerchief in his hand and used it to wipe the invisible tears around his eyes. In that way, he could hide the vicious smile as he got his lips crooked under the handkerchief.

No one dared to bully him in the past years! And today, he was eager to take the revenge on Song Qinghan.

Seeing that Wu Dahu’s face became gloomier after listening to his words, the smile under the handkerchief grew even bigger and more vicious. Just as he was about to fan the flames to be greater, he got a kick suddenly on his knee, and he kneed down all of a sudden before he reacted.

“I never beat any femina man, I will just let you go if you kowtow to Han three times. Otherwise, I will break my principle today!” Wu Dahu warned mercilessly.

The femina leader didn’t understand, though he was still kneeing obediently, he refused to kowtow while sobbing pitifully, “Your Young Master! What’s that for? I have served Old Master for over ten years! He will be bitterly disappointed if he finds out that you’re just being like that.”

Noticing that the femina leader dared to threaten him by the name of Zhai Su, he got his expression more gloomier, then he answered in coldness, “Bitterly disappointed? How can someone with no emotion get disappointed so easily? Shut your mouth up now, or I will give you no chance!”

The femina leader shivered, biting his lips with reluctance and bending his back slowly, he kowtowed facing to the yard heavily for three times. And when he raised his head again, blood flowed down from his forehead.

Wu Dahu snorted coldly, and when he was about to knock on the door, Song Qinghan happened to open it.

Just as he was about to enter the yard, he paused. He turned his head and said in a low voice, “Don’t let me see you here again. Otherwise…”

The courtyard door slammed shut in front of the femina leader who was still kneeing there with his face lowering. He clenched his fists tightly ignoring how the blood streamed down ruthlessly from his forehead.

That bitch provoked everything and didn’t deserve a good service, thought the vicious femina leader.
