490 I Can’t Stop You From Going, Right?
“I don’t know where the two people who were killed came from,” Sifu continued. “And I don’t know who they were. Anyway, they weren’t from our place, so I don’t know who killed them. I couldn’t find out either. I saw that the bailiffs were working hard, so I treated them to some ice. They told me that this kind of thing happened not only here, but also in other places. They told me not to make a fuss about it. They also said that it only happened a little closer to me, otherwise I wouldn’t have known about it. How is the person?”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other, and Jiang Yue said, “That person has already woken up.”
“Good that he did.”
“That man says he knows someone at Quanping Inn. He wants to report his safety and has already written a letter. When you go to town tomorrow, can you take a detour and send this letter to Quanping Inn?” As Xue Yan spoke, he took out the letter and handed it to his brother. “That person says that it’s fine to give it to the innkeeper of the inn.”
“Alright,” Xue Sifu happily took the letter. “By the way, do you know his name? Where did he come from? Have you asked?”
“His name is Shao Shuting. He said he’s from the capital city and he’s here for something,” Jiang Yue replied.
Xue Sifu replied, “He’s already injured, yet he still went on a long journey. It’s no wonder that Doctor Shen scolded him. When I was delivering the things to the backyard of the medical hall, I met Doctor Shen. Doctor Shen told me that he had been injured for a few days. In addition, the weather was so hot that it had festered and he must have been completely out of his mind. I’ll go with you to see him when we bring him dinner.”
“Okay.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had no objections. They couldn’t possibly stop Sifu from going, right?
Since Liu Guixia and the others thought that Shao Shuting was in a bad state, they served him every good dish during dinner.
When Jiang Yue and Xue Yan finished their dinner and were about to deliver the food, they cut a small plate of watermelon and put it in the basket for Shao Shuting to eat.
Xue Sifu helped to carry the food basket.
Liu Guixia asked Xue Dafu if they should go and take a look. Xue Dafu agreed, but considering that the man was injured and needed to rest, he later decided that they shouldn’t. It would be the same to visit him when he was better.
Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Xue Sifu came to Xue Dagui’s house. Xue Dagui didn’t eat dinner either. He was holding half a large watermelon and eating it with a spoon at the kitchen’s door.
This half a watermelon was given by his family because Xue Dagui’s family only had one person now. He couldn’t finish one all by himself.
However, they did not expect Xue Dagui to skip dinner and only eat the watermelon.
When Xue Dagui saw them, he immediately put on a drooling face and chuckled, “I knew you guys would bring food to the person in the room, so I didn’t bother with him.”
“It’s too hot out. I don’t have an appetite.” Xue Dagui chuckled. “It’s still cooler to eat this watermelon. Besides, this watermelon is so big. I still have so many that I haven’t finished, and I’m a little full. By the way, you’ll be making lunch here starting tomorrow, right? Remember to leave me dinner, just a large bowl will do, I can’t eat more than that.”
“Why aren’t you eating a proper meal? If you’re too lazy to cook, you can cook some rice noodles. Didn’t I give you a lot of dry rice noodles? Are you so lazy that you don’t even want to cook rice noodles?” Xue Sifu was not in a good mood.
Xue Dagui chuckled and waved his hand as he continued eating the watermelon.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t say anything.
