493 Full of Worry
“I’ll help you guys.”
“No need,” Jiang Yue replied. “If we really need help, we’ll look for Xue Dagui. Isn’t Xue Dagui here?”
“That’s true.” Xue Sifu had no objections. “Although Xue Dagui is lazy, if you really ask him to do something, he will still do it.”
After Xue Sifu left, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other and then went to boil the medicine for Shao Shuting to drink tonight.
It was dark, and the lights were on, so there were a lot of bugs flying around it. When Xue Yan was boiling the medicine, Jiang Yue took some mugwort sticks, lit them, and put them by their feet.
“You guys have picked up a saint and brought him back. You have to worship him now, haha!” Xue Dagui was all smiles as he took the things to the river to wash up.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t think that Shao Shuting should be respected, but they were the ones who picked him up, so they should be responsible for him.
When Xue Dagui returned from the river, he went to sleep.
He was not in a hurry at all. Shao Shuting finished his dinner slowly. Jiang Yue went in to clean up and washed the dishes in Xue Dagui’s kitchen.
When the medicine was half-boiled, Sanfu and Wufu came with two basins of ice.
“Again?” Jiang Yue asked.
Xue Yan stood up instead of watching the fire in the stove.
Wufu was particularly arrogant and immediately rushed over. “Father and Mother said that his wounds shouldn’t stay warm, for fear that it would fester. So, they made some ice and asked us to bring it over.”
Shao Shuting, who was lying in the room, heard it and immediately thanked him loudly, “Many thanks, comrade.”
“No big deal!” Xue Wufu immediately jumped in.
Before Shao Shuting could react, he saw a young man rush in like a monkey. He was very happy and seemed to have endless energy. He wanted to laugh, but he held it in.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also followed him in.
Xue Sanfu was at the back. He was tall and strong, his face was resolute and extremely fierce. He had to bend over to enter the door. Shao Shuting’s eyes lit up when he saw him. He immediately said, “My father will definitely like you!”
Xue Sanfu was used to being cold and aloof. He nodded, as if he did not care about what the other man said.
Xue Wufu blinked and asked curiously, “Why did you say that your father would definitely like my brother?”
Shao Shuting realized that he had lost his composure. He coughed and said apologetically, “I’m sorry for being impolite. My father has always complained that I’m not as tall and strong as he is, and he often talks about it.”
“Oh, oh, so that’s how it is. My brother is quite tall and mighty, especially when he rides a horse. The whole village says that he looks mighty.” Xue Wufu chuckled.
“You are…” Shao Shuting looked at Xue Wufu in confusion. He felt that this young man was quite optimistic.
“Me? I’m Xue Wufu.” Xue Wufu said without thinking.
“He’s our fifth brother,” Jiang Yue answered.
Shao Shuting smiled and nodded. “I understand. This must also be your brother, yes?”
Xue Sanfu didn’t say anything. It was still Xue Wufu who answered excitedly,”Yes, yes, yes. This is my third brother, Xue Sanfu.”
Shao Shuting saw that Xue Sanfu didn’t say anything. He was quite cold and seemed more like a great general than he was. He felt that if his father saw Xue Sanfu, he would definitely like him.
