A Western Doctor’s Happy Farming Life[1] 145

Differed from the mountain they went days ago, this mount seemed to be the one exclusively provided for the noble childes to hunt. So this place was totally a private forbidden place for the outsiders, moreover, it posted more risk to encounter beasts in here.

Every candidate was meticulously examined by specialists before they entered the forest, because they were allowed to bring only one weapon with them, dagger, spear, or crossbow.

Otherwise, if someone brought a large pack of hallucinogenic drug and directly fainted their prey, that would be somewhat unfair.

After skimming the judges ‘seats, Song Qinghan found that the femina man did not show up. Just as he was about to let out a sigh of relief, a clear voice suddenly sounded behind him.

“Are you concerned about your husband?”

A bad premonition suddenly overwhelmed in Song Qinghan’s mind as he got his heart tightened, and then he turned his head hurriedly. As expected, he found the other party was no one else but that femina man. Hesitantly, Song Qinghan answered with his corner of lips crooked slightly, “Kind of…”

The femina man didn’t bother to be clingy on that topic, he fixed his eyes on Song Qinghan’s nervous face, and then said slightly, “Are you a doctor?”

Being stared and inquired like that, Song Qinghan felt much tenser, and then he responded subconsciously, “Kind of…”

The femina man was still young himself, yet the temperament let out by him was more like the one only a sophisticated man possessed, which made Song Qinghan fail to hold on.

Most importantly, he got no idea why the other party would appear suddenly like a ghost and try to talk to him without reason.

The femina man crooked his lips slightly after hearing Song Qinghan’s words, and then arranged his sleeves and collar leisurely, and then said calmly, “Got no words to talk now?”

‘Kind of’ were the words Song Qinghan wanted to respond again as he was quite speechless. Yet obviously, the other party seemed not to be the one who he could incur. So he suddenly changed his tone and said seriously, “No, I just fail to conceive of a proper answer towards your question.”

“My name is Hening, how about you?”

Hening said so just as Song Qinghan’s thought started to run wilder again.

Noticing that the other party was speaking with a peaceful tone, Song Qinghan heaved heavily and secretly, and then he introduced himself in peace.

After Hening heard the answer of Song Qinghan, he lower his eyesight and pondered for a brief moment, and then he smiled lightly, “Qinghan, that’s a good name though, just greatly fit your temperament.”

Song Qinghan didn’t know how he should respond towards such a compliment, just as he was about to cope casually with a random answer, Hening took the initiative and continued to say, “Are you the one who saved me that day?”

Song Qinghan’s heart tightened again, he then answered vaguely, “Oh, my husband rescued you from the lake that day, but after both of you got onto the shore, I found you were totally breathless at time. I made you an artificial respiration, probably you were saved by that action. So I might be the saver for you if you don’t mind me saying that.”

It was his deliberate intention not to mention that it was Wu Dahu’s credit, because he might be regretful if the other party was another manic just like Guan Yiyu who pledged to marry Wu Dahu.

After Hening heard Song Qinghan’s confession, his eyes lit up with sharpness, and then wore a faint smile, saying, “Artificial respiration? What do you mean about that? You mean lips-to-lips type?”

Song Qinghan coughed lightly, he was quite awkward right now because he was stared by Hening without eyes off. In a second thought, it was just a normal first aid treatment, and he shouldn’t feel bashful for that, so he answered decisively, “Yes, true! But only by that can you regain your breath, probably it was rude and impolite to you but I had to do that.”

Hening nodded thoughtfully, yet his eyes were still lighted with smile, and then he said in a low voice, “Despite the fact that it succeeded saving me, it was a totally intimate skin contact though, that should be a tacit agreement for marriage. Well, I mean, if I require you to be responsible for that, what will you think?”

What Hening said was completely a jaw-dropping astonishment for Song Qinghan, he carried Little Shitou and then took a few steps back, while sizing Hening up and down by sight. Re-confirming that the other party was indeed a femina man, he smiled dryly and answered, “You must be kidding me right? As a femina man, how can I be responsible for that matter? And it would be impossible for my husband either, he already had me!”

Before Hening reacted, the servant beside him broke in fiercely and raised his head to glare at Song Qinghan with his almost bulging eyes, shrilling, “How dare you talk like that to His Highness?”

Hening’s eyes darkened suddenly and said indifferently to the servant, “Get your own punish back home!”

The servant who spoke trembled as the reluctance was shown on his face, but he still obediently bowed and left silently.

Song Qinghan got even more astonished after that as if he had just encountered a ghost himself, he took a quick glance at Hening, and blinked his eyes, murmuring to himself, “His Highness? Hening? His Highness Hening? That cherry woods…?”

All of the clues were suddenly connected. Song Qinghan then came to asked in surprise, “Are you His Highness Hening?! The owner of the cherry woods? Then how come you accidentally fell into the lake?”

Hening’s face assumed an expression of plainness, and then he fixed his sight on Little Shitou’s chubby face. Suddenly he reached out to tip on the baby’s nose with his index finger, and uttered gently, “He’ve gotten a nose like yours.”

Seeing that he did not answer, Song Qinghan did not feel angry. He pondered about what he had asked about. After all, Hening also a prince and he might have something to do with the royal family. If he really knew about it, he might have to take the blame.

“Were the cherries delicious?”

Just as Song Qinghan felt rather awkward, Hening suddenly spoke again. It sounded like he was just picking a random topic for getting rid of the embarrassment.

Song Qinghan laughed dryly. He didn’t know what kind of attitude he should have to face Hening. After all, he was just an ordinary folk among thousands and millions ones, the man who was standing right in front of him got a supreme power to behead someone by JUST A GESTURE!

“Delicious, of course they were delicious! Your cherries are just divine! Your Highness.”

Hening took a pause after hearing that, and then he squinted his eyes, said to Song Qinghan with a faint and seemingly evil smile, “Are you sure my ‘CHERRIES’ are tasted good?”

Goose bumps all over Song Qinghan’s body erupted suddenly as he could clearly feel his brain was buzzing, he thought there should be some different meanings in Hening’s words, yet he was not sure if it was just excessive worry or the deliberate purpose Hening made.

“Uhm, Your Highness, the competition has begun.”

Song Qinghan turned his head and pretended to watch the game seriously.

Hening didn’t mind his rudeness. He took a step forward with his hands folded behind his back and stood side by side with him. When he realized that Song Qinghan was half a head shorter than him, his smiled secretly and faintly with the corner of his lips crooked.

Song Qinghan was totally absorbed into the game right away and ignored completely about the matter of Hening. Just as the competition almost came to its end, he muttered, “How come Dahu still doesn’t show up? It seems that Dahu is the only one who is absent.”

“Don’t worry, he won’t die so easily,” Hening echoed indifferently.

Just before Song Qinghan turned his head to look at Hening, Wu Dahu emerged out from the forest suddenly as if he was going to prove Hening’s words. Right on his shoulder lay a dead giant tiger which featured conspicuous yellow and white, on his waist tied with a circle of various wild animals.

No one knew whether he just captured all kinds of animals within the forest, or it just happened that he hunted so many and picked one of them. Anyway, staring at the preys of all sorts, all the folks at the scene cheered with shout and scream, meantime the name of Wu Dahu was called in a same voice.

No scars, no bloody marks on Wu Dahu’s hands and arms, Song Qinghan finally put his heart down. Just as he was about to meet up Wu Dahu, he could clearly feel that he was dragged by a sudden force backward, and at the same time Hening’s voice sounded.

“What if he did not make it to get out of that forest? What will your plan be?”

Song Qinghan frowned and didn’t understand the meaning of what Hening just asked. He answered coldly, “If he did not make it, I will go find him myself!”

After that, he broke free from Hening’s force, and walked towards the direction where Wu Dahu stayed, ignoring whether he was too rude or not.

Hening took a pause there, lowered his head and stared at his palm subconsciously as his eyes were full of melancholy. Yet since such a sentiment for him was just like a tornado, easy came and easy go. When he witnessed the reunion between Song Qinghan and Wu Dahu, he withdrew his hands back to his back, and said calmly, “Let’s back to the mansion.”

Song Qinghan didn’t tell Wu Dahu about what happened just now. Although he discerned that Hening’s action was rather queer, it didn’t bring him some substantive injuries. So he just regarded it as a causal greet with a stranger.

Even though the results of the competition had not yet come out, people who got a pair of eyes should definitely predict the result themselves. Wu Dahu should be worthy of the champion for the noon hunting competition. At least he was able to get the third prize considering the achievement he got this morning.

Though it could be seen that Wu Dahu still remained his calmness on face, the excitement hidden in his eyes almost flowed out.

He wasn’t that kind of greedy to demand excessively for the champion as long as he could enter the top three. So there was naturally a sense of achievement right in his mind after he knew the dream was so close now to him.

What they needed to do now was back back and wait and see.

Yet beyond their expectations, invitation papers for banquets were just like a shower of snow, dipping down in their room before the result was announced.

At this time, the benefit of getting a sworn brother was revealed right away.

At least, Li Ziniu had more experience in dealing with those high-ranking officials and nobles than Wu Dahu. Therefore, when he saw the invitation papers, he informed Wu Dahu about which invitations were more important and which were insignificant ones.

Of course, it was not only a matter related to Wu Dahu, but to Song Qinghan as well.

After all, for officials, “Domestic Politics” was also an important means.

However, Song Qinghan did not expect that the first time he attended such a banquet, he would meet Su Tingting at the door.

Su Tingting’s carriage was rather imposing, yet when his figure appeared from that carriage, it was such a bad match.

Su Tingting noticed the appearance of Song Qinghan as he was browsing around. When he saw Song Qinghan, he rolled his eyes secretly and then greeted with the guests who were gathering at the gate.

“Sir Zhang, was the pearl powder I sent to you days ago good? If it is effective, I will order more and send them to you later!”

“Hey, Sir Li, I got a new batch of performers in my Li Garden, and I ordered several performances, I have invited everyone to my mansion, I hope you won’t reject my invitation!”

“…”

Song QInghan noticed that every time Su Tingting greeted to his ‘acquaintances’, he would look over here. Such an action totally confused Song Qinghan.

Could it be that Su Tingting knew the fact that Song Qinghan was a new comer here and didn’t know anyone, so this femina man helped him introduce?

If Su Tingting knew that Song Qinghan was thinking this, probably he would be rather angry towards that. However, he just thought that Song Qinghan showing a face of confusion because of anger, so he kept greeting the rest of the guests, seemingly never going to get tired of such a greeting thing like he was about to control and handle the situation himself.
