A Western Doctor’s Happy Farming Life[1] 191

Song Qinghan glanced at him suspiciously, not understanding why Wu Dahu went crazy by asking such an embarrassing question.

But Wu Dahu seemed to be quite serious when he asked so, so Song Qinghan still chose to be cooperative and answered after a brief moment of consideration, “Bravery? Righteousness… or simple and honest?”

Wu Dahu denied every single word Song Qinghan mentioned and shook his head.

In fact, without Wu Dahu’s denial, Song Qinghan had already denied his own answers in his mind, and then he frowned and pondered for a moment, and answered slowly, “The fact that you were born poor? Look like you are an orphan? Or you got only me as a wedded one in the family?”

After that, he shrugged and shook his head, adding slightly, “What am I talking about?!”

But beyond his expectation, Wu Dahu shook his head again decisively and said, “You’re almost there, the answer is very close, but it’s not the integrate one.”

“To clarify, what do you think makes me stand out when I am compared to those guys who were invited in that banquet that time?” Wu Dahu added after noticing that Song Qinghan was utterly shocked on face.

Something suddenly occurred to Song Qinghan in his mind, as if he had already figured out what Wu Dahu was trying to say.

Assumed that it was indeed a plan schemed by Lianyue purposely, this femina man should have learned something outstanding on Wu Dahu’s trait which was differed from the others, and that should be the main reason why he would pick Wu Dahu rather than the other men.

Song Qinghan would never believe that it was because at that time Lianyue got the chance to stay close to Wu Dahu. Someone who got an identity like him shouldn’t be just a specific escort for the special customer. In that case, the wine sprinkled should be quite a normal daily event in his work routine. So, the child in his belly could have a myriad of men to be his ‘father’.

Once he cleared the logic in mind and thought about it again, it was much easier to make things out. After Song Qinghan excluded every unreasonable possibilities out in his mind, he suddenly raised his head, opened his eyes wide again, “It is because YOU ARE HERE!”

Wu Dahu was stunned for a second, and soon came back to his sense and realized what Song Qinghan meant while the images of the customers on that banquet flashed quickly in his mind. He nodded slowly, and then answered thoughtfully, “Indeed, among those guys, I am the only one who is present here…”

The ones who had attended the banquet were all capital officials united except the minority of newly-recruited officials like Wu Dahu, so naturally it was impossible for them to leave the capital by their own wills.

But… Why?

Obviously, Song Qinghan was also probing the answer about the motivation behind the answer. But no matter how hard they tried to figure it out, they failed to think of any reason which would trigger Lianyue to do so. At most they could only guess that probably Lianyue got a urgent reason forcing him to leave the state capital for this place.

Little Shitou beside opened his mouth yawning lazily, and then with a roll, he hid himself in Song Qinghan’s chest, babbling softly like a spoiled kitten did, “Let’s SLEEP~”

Song Qinghan’s heart softened and he reached out to caress Little Shitou’s face, decided to let stand this matter temporarily. After taking the baby to take a bath, he finally got into bed together with Little Shitou.

Seeing that Song Qinghan was showing a cold face, Wu Dahu could only smile bitterly shaking his head. After organizing everything up before bed, he lay on his side on the edge of the bed, trying to guard the two slept inside.

The next morning, when Song Qinghan was still immersing in his dream, he was suddenly awaken by a noisy scream. Subconsciously, he frowned tight as his eyebrows sank deep as if to be rather annoyed by the sound. After recognizing that the scream was from Lianyue, he couldn’t help but shout, “What’s wrong now? Is he going to play a show of ‘Fall and get abortion’?”

As he walked into Lianyue’s room, he did really find that Lianyue was tumbling on the ground. Fortunately, there was no any blood stain on it, and nobody else was present currently. But on the other side, Lianyue was reacting like he just met a ghost and was much scared.

At the moment he caught a glimpse of Song Qinghan, he looked at Song Qinghan in the eyes as if to beg for help. He struggled to rise, and then staggered towards Song Qinghan and grabbed the corner of Song Qinghan’s sleeves, while saying pitifully, “I just, I just saw someone. Not someone… In fact I can’t recognize if he is a human or a ghost…”

“Maybe it’s neither a human nor a ghost.”

Song Qinghan responded faintly, yet he did not turn to shrug off Lianyue’s hand when he noticed that the man’s hand was too skinny.

Hearing that, Lianyue couldn’t help but shiver there. But it could still be seen from his current expression that he was not that nervous now and he slowly retrieved his hand back from Song Qinghan’s sleeves. Lowering his head, he uttered cleverly, “It’s out of my recklessness, please punish me, Mistress.”

Song Qinghan squinted his eyes and fixed his gaze on this femina man. Indeed, he admitted that the look of Lianyue who tried his best to be much obedient failed him to vent his anger. Instead of scolding, Song Qinghan asked abruptly, “Have you ever conceived of any scenarios about the life here before you come here?”

Lianyue paused for a brief moment, and then responded without hesitation, “Since I have made up my mind to come here, I know I was well-prepared.”

Song Qinghan nodded thoughtfully. He could sense that what Lianyue said might have something hidden in the words.

“Do you know the fact that Wu Dahu is going to the battlefield?”

Before turning around, Song Qinhan sounded.

Obviously, it was the first time for Lianyue to know such a news. So he was quite astonished when he heard so, but then in a flash the astonishment on his face turned into a sorrow one. He fixed his gaze to the ground, trying his best to cover the emotion in his eyes and then came to utter gently, “All is well that ends well, I believe that Lord Wu is blessed by the Buddha, and he will definitely be safe and come back safely. Mistress, please don’t worry about that.”

Song Qinghan deliberately reached out to raise Lianyue’s chin up, and then he raised his eyebrows, “Don’t you worry that I will take some evil tactics to get your child murdered after Dahu leaves for the war? After all… No matter whether this child is Wu Dahu’s or not, as long as he disappears, you won’t have any reasons to linger here.”

Though he never got such a thought in mind ever, he wasn’t timid at all when he warned so. Well, such words indeed strained Lianyue’s nerve.

Beyond Song Qinghan’s expectation, Lianyue suddenly knelt down again sobbing and bawling, “Please spare my life and the poor baby’s, I don’t beg for more. As long as I can make sure to get a mouth of food, I will be satisfied. If you are never going to want to see my presence, I will never show up again in front of you. Is that a feasible way?”

Looking at Lianyue who was being pitiful himself, Song Qinghan was quite tired of it. He reached out to pull him up and responded expressionlessly, “Take it easy, I will go with Wu Dahu to the battlefield, so your child will never get hurt by me. Alright? Get up.”

Although he left the room after saying so, Lianyue was still dumbfounded standing there, as if he failed to come back to his sense when he tried to figure the meanings out.

The battlefield was rather dangerous. If Song Qinghan and Wu Dahu died there, then…

Lianyue still stood there without moving, yet his pair of pupils were shaking violently, revealing the unease in his mind.

NO! THE PROGRESS SHOULD BE SPED UP!

After breakfast, just at the moment Wu Dahu was about to set off to work, Lianyue took the initiative to approach, and stood cleverly in front of Wu Dahu while saying softly, “Lord Wu, would you allow me to have a walk outside? I am eager to see the whole Yueban City.”

Wu Dahu glanced at Song Qinghan subconsciously. After noticing that Song Qinghan was showing his own concerns in the eyes, he shook his head, responding, “You should stay at home since you are pregnant, nothing but bad things will happen if you go outside alone. Stay! Or are you concerned that Han will inflict you?”

Lianyue quickly shook his head and then explained, “Of course not, if Mistress really intends to inflict me, he would have done it yesterday…”

Midway when he said so, he finally realized that he might have said something wrong, and then he added trying to eliminate the awkwardness, “I mean, how come Mistress will inflict me? I just purely want to take a walk outside and purchase some stuff for daily usage by the way. To be honest, I was too hurried when I set off to come here, so I forgot to bring enough clothes with me. It was fine when I was on the trip along the way, but now it is difficult for me if I can’t change my clothes after everyday bath…”
