A Western Doctor's Happy Farming Life[3]

C275: The Bogus

It could be seen that those two hefty men were utterly shocked as they opened their mouths wide there when they witnessed that Wu Dahu drank all the hogwash-like food without hesitation.

They did nothing but exchange their glances with each other, and then commenced troubling Wu Dahu and Song Qinghan by probing other possibilities.

"Hey, no one allows you to drink his soup, alright? Don't you know that these are the kind of benefaction from Lord Xiaoyan for both of you? Or do you intend to disobey?"

Wu Dahu put down the empty bowl and answered innocently, "Oh, sorry but is that a sin? It can't satisfy my stomach for one bowl and besides, my husband doesn't have an appetite to eat, so I just take two of them. Is there any problem with that?"

It was precise because there was no problem that the two of the hefty men became irritable. After glaring at Wu Dahu, they turned and left the tent.

And after those men finally disappeared in sight, Song Qinghan looked at Wu Dahu with a sense of worry, and then reached out to knock on the empty bowl, "Are you really alright with that hogwash? You should tell me in time if you feel uncomfortable."

Noticing the unease hidden in Song Qinghan's eyes, Wu Dahu reached out abruptly to hold his hands, and then uttered slowly, "I am totally fine, don't you worry about me, alright? Everything goes fine with me as long as you are aside."

Song Qinghan blushed as if he remembered the warmth from last night. He cleared his throat and coughed slightly to hide his embarrassment.

After they finished their daily routines treating those injured soldiers, Wu Dahu came to utter as he found that it was still early outside, "It's time to go meet Xiaoyan now."

For some reason, Song Qinghan could sense that Wu Dahu's tone seemed to be quite serious when he said so, and it was somehow like the peacefulness before the arrival of a violent storm.

But he did not bother to ask further but nodded slightly and then followed Wu Dahu in behind and 'marched' towards the tent where Xiaoyan stayed.

The guard outside the tent seemed to be quite shocked when he noticed the appearances of the duo, and then he frowned and roared, "What are you doing here?"

Everyone, even the lowliest staff in this army camp, was aware of the fact that Xiaoyan had taken over Wu Dahu's previous position. So what if Wu Dahu was someone who was insanely crazy and would do something harmful to Xiaoyan?

Song Qinghan recognized this guard and was quite familiar with him because they had once become friends when he was still responsible for cleaning the chamber pot. He never expected that when they met again they were already strangers to each other.

On the other side, Wu Dahu wasn't mad at all at the man who was showing his vigilant attitude, and he uttered peacefully, "We are here to show our sincere gratitude to Lord Xiaoyan because he saved us when we were in the barbarian territory, would you please do us a favor to get him information about the arrival of us?"

The guard glanced at the duo dubiously, and he hesitated for a brief moment but nodded at the end, "Alright, but you guys should stay here and I will go in to ask for the feedback of Lord Xiaoyan."

He then entered the tent and came out after a short while, unveiling the curtain of the tent peacefully, and then uttered in a deep voice, "Lord Xiaoyan allows you to come in."
