[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 175 [English]

Chapter 170 Monster

The fingers of Shen Zechuan’s right hand were shaking violently, and the burning pain made him wake up instantly.He raised his right arm tiredly, and when he opened his palm, he found that his two fingers could not move freely.There was a faint light shining through the window paper, and he actually slept until this hour.

Shen Zechuan put his arms back and let the sweat drip down his temples.After a while, he stood up and curled his fingers slightly while putting it on.

Fei Sheng listened to the movement, turned around and waved to the subordinate who was carrying the medicine to come over and wait.The door over there opened, Fei Sheng lifted his robe and walked in. Shen Zechuan was standing by the copper basin washing up.

“Master,” Fei Sheng walked aside and said softly, “I called the doctor early in the morning and he is waiting over there. Can we come in and have a look?”

Shen Zechuan put the handkerchief back into the basin and said, “Scream.”

Fei Sheng immediately called people happily, and in this gap, he said to Shen Zechuan: “I let people go out last night. There is an old friend from Liu Er, and the news comes very quickly. Master, Lei Jingzhe is in the city!”

Shen Zechuan stood by the door and looked back at Fei Sheng, thoughtfully.

Lei Jingzhe reacted so quickly, which shows that they all kept the journey of transporting the baggage in mind and took into account the possibility of overdue delivery.The team hadn’t arrived these days, so Lei Jingzhe immediately went down to Dunzhou, apparently wanting to find out who had robbed Xie Zi.

“The baggage is headed to Cizhou with the Libei Iron Cavalry accompanying them to guard it. The news cannot spread so fast. It is time to enter Cizhou now. Regardless of whether Lei Jingzhe can be found or not, the things and people are already ours.” Fei Sheng stepped aside and watched Shen Zechuan drink the medicine, “But it is too difficult to catch Lei Jingzhe alive in the city. Master, there are still four hundred scorpions guarding the Dunzhou.”The bandits we captured can all be considered Lei Jingzhe’s soldiers, we have too few people.”

Shen Zechuan frowned slightly in pain and said: “Lei Jingzhe hasn’t cleaned up Luoshan and Duanzhou yet. This shows that he doesn’t have enough soldiers. He smuggled the ordnance probably just to please Biansha. For this reason, the four hundred scorpions in Dunzhou City may not be willing to listen to his command. Besides, we are here to make money in a friendly manner in Dunzhou, not by force. We can take our time in everything.” hePassing the empty bowl to Fei Sheng, “Cizhou has nothing important to do recently. I have plenty of time to play with him.”

When Fei Sheng took the bowl, he saw Shen Zechuan’s hands hanging on his sleeves. His expression changed, and he lifted his robe and knelt down: “It’s broken, Master! I was in such a hurry on the road. I was so blind that I didn’t…”

“We have to hurry, and we can’t find any good doctors on the way.” Shen Zechuan saw Fei Shengcheng’s frightened look and said, “It’s just two broken fingers, not broken. I’ll let the doctor tie the steel pins later and wrap them up for half a year.”

Shen Zechuan spoke in an understatement, but Fei Sheng was frightened when he heard it.He didn’t know whether it was true or false. He held his ground with red eyes and said in a trembling voice: “The master is dead after his injury. There is no reason for the master to be injured without the guards at his side.” He raised his hand and slapped his own cheek a few times. “It’s useless for me to ask the master to come to the rescue in person! Please punish me, master!”

Fei Sheng, now with the Jin Yiwei, knelt here and gave himself a few clean slaps, which were also slapped on the faces of outsiders. He wanted to lower his posture and let everyone inside and outside understand that this incident was a wake-up call. He could not do it again in the future, and Shen Zechuan could not be hurt.They were abandoned by Han Cheng. When they arrived at Zhongbo, from the moment they were rejected by Xiao Chiye, the only choice for master was Shen Zechuan.

Qiao Tianya can also serve as a subordinate, and he is even more popular with his subordinates than Fei Sheng, but he is too free.At some point, he seemed to regard Shen Zechuan as a friend.Fei Sheng figured out a lot from Shen Zechuan’s move of transferring Qiao Tianya to Yao Wenyu.

Will Yao Wenyu’s health be better for a while?If not, then Qiao Tianya will stay with Yao Wenyu for several years.The vacant position next to Shen Zechuan was given to Fei Sheng, which in Fei Sheng’s view was a hint that he must complete things in this position that Qiao Tianya would not do.He must make the existing Jin Yiwei clearly understand that Shen Zechuan is giving Ji Gang face by not pursuing their dereliction of duty, but they must not make mistakes again and again.

Fei Sheng was determined not to do anything that Shen Zechuan didn’t nod to.Fei Sheng was determined to carry out the things Shen Zechuan ordered, good or bad, to the end.He is far more clear about his position than Qiao Tianya. He is Shen Zechuan’s close guard, not Shen Zechuan’s friend, so he will not report Shen Zechuan’s injury to Xiao Chiye privately.

The Jin Yiwei under the eaves also knelt on the ground, his face burning with pain as he listened to Fei Sheng’s slap.Fei Sheng fanned himself until his cheeks turned red. He was still raising his hand, but was suddenly blocked by the folding fan.

“You can gain something if you save money, and it’s easy to talk about things in just three words.” Shen Zechuan moved his fan with his left hand, “All the men in the courtyard are seven-foot men. If you do something wrong, you will be punished. I will make my own arrangements when I return to Cizhou. You can stand up.”

Shen Zechuan did not let Fei Sheng continue to slap himself, but he had no intention of humiliating them.He respects scholars enough, and he is not bad at Jin Yiwei either.The monthly payment to the house was paid in time and was converted into cash according to Qudu’s standards.Jin Yiwei’s residence is a spacious and bright room, and Ji Gang is always there to give pointers.At first, they all thought that Shen Zechuan was unstable and difficult to serve, but as time went by, they discovered that Shen Zechuan actually had specific preferences, rewarded and punished, and gave orders decisively and directly, and he never expressed his anger towards his subordinates.

Fei Sheng wiped away his tears and kowtowed to Shen Zechuan a few more times before standing up and standing on the edge.Ding Tao looked on in a daze and felt very guilty.The doctor outside happened to arrive. Fei Sheng raised the curtain and welcomed the doctor in.

Shen Zechuan’s two fingers were indeed broken, but fortunately they were not severed.As he expected, the doctor tied the steel pins and kept him for another half a year.

“In these days, please don’t pick up the sword or draw the bow.” The doctor was an old man. Because he had received enough money for the consultation, he gave special instructions when he got up. “This injury has delayed me for several days. Fortunately, I didn’t miss today, otherwise I wouldn’t have gone back even if I tied the steel pin. I think your health is not good. It’s August, and the heat and cold change suddenly. You should pay more attention to what you eat and wear, so as not to get sick again.”

The doctor rolled up his sleeves and while packing the medical box, he thought of something again.

“Do you always have trouble sleeping?” He said, “Business has to be done, but it takes a lot of effort and nightmares at night, and people can’t bear it after a long time. I will get a tips bag later and put some incense to help me sleep. I can try it under the pillow at night.”

Fei Sheng bent down to carry the doctor’s medical box and sent the patient out.

* * *

Shen Zechuan sat on a chair and looked at his right hand in a moment of silence.The two fingers were tied together, tightly entangled, and it was difficult to extend them. There was no need to think about holding the knife. It was a blessing that it was not broken.

But how could he dream of Jianxing Palace?

Last night’s dream was like a yellowed starch cloth. There was only the back of my mother, because Shen Zechuan didn’t even remember what she looked like.He cried sadly for that glass of water. Was he really for that glass of water?

Shen Zechuan put his elbow on the handle, leaned back slowly, and looked along the half-draped bamboo curtain to the eaves, where there was a shadow of trees.He slowed down the dream in his mind, trying to spread out every inch.

Under the eaves sat my mother, who was deaf and mute.

The yard is very small and the house is not oriented well, so it gets dark quickly inside at dusk.Shen Zechuan is still very short, so short that he can see inside without bending down.He really wanted to drink that glass of water, his whole throat seemed to be on fire.But he couldn’t reach it, so he stood on tiptoes.

Shen Zechuan raised his head slightly.

He stood on tiptoes – this was not the first time. He knew that the tea cup might fall to the ground, so he looked inside while standing on tiptoes.It was too dark inside, the windows were not open, and the half-hanging bead curtain was dead, oozing white in the darkness without any swaying.

Shen Zechuan frowned and peered down intently.

Why is he looking in?

The young Shen Zechuan lay on tiptoes on the edge of the table, looking at the darkness.He blinked several times without looking back, but couldn’t help but stretched out his fingers and touched the edge of the tea cup.Someone was surging in the darkness, and Shen Zechuan turned away the tea cup when he was distracted.The sound of the tea cup breaking was very clear, as if it was hit in the ear, and the people inside turned their heads in shock.The strange shadow of Mum repeatedly raising her arms silently grabbed Shen Zechuan’s feet. At this moment, Shen Zechuan saw a horrified face.

Shen Zechuan took a sudden breath, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had unknowingly held his right hand, and his fingers were in severe pain.It’s very hot today, but Shen Zechuan’s back is covered in cold sweat.

he saw Shen Wei.

Shen Wei’s face twisted in fear was so dazzling that Shen Zechuan stood up.He relaxed his right hand irritably and faced the shadow of the tree under the eaves, but he couldn’t remember what Shen Wei was doing.

Why is Shen Wei so scared?

It was so dark inside that Shen Zechuan couldn’t see anything at all. Even Shen Wei’s face seemed to be lodged in a thick black shadow.He kept thinking back, but still made no progress. The memory seemed to be stuck, fixed on Shen Wei’s face.

Damn it.

Shen Zechuan knew how to keep his temper firmly under the ice, but that didn’t work this time. The disgust on his face showed that he had reached the critical point.He was like a trapped animal, closing his eyes in the sunshine, sweat dripping from his temples.

The cut fingers were bleeding, staining the robe, and the pale white and red overlapped again.The bead curtain is dead, but it comes alive again in the whizzing scene, swinging violently.The strange shadow grabbed Shen Zechuan, and Shen Zechuan’s fingers were still bleeding.Mother kept stretching her arms and embroidering endlessly, and the shadow changed shape as it stretched, turning into a scorpion with its tail flicking.

There was a “pop” sound!

Shen Zechuan turned his eyes quickly.

Ding Tao fell to the ground, as if looking at a stranger, and all the hairs on her body stood up.The candy leaked out and rolled on the ground, hitting Shen Zechuan’s broken folding fan.

Shen Zechuan leaned over, picked up the candy from the ground, and handed it to Ding Tao.But Ding Tao moved back a little in fear and trepidation, escaping from Shen Zechuan’s shadow without extending his hand.

Shen Zechuan’s throat slid, like a monster whose skin had been stripped off, completely exposed to the stinging sunlight.The pale side of the neck showed fragility, and the wind blew his sleeves. He laughed during the long stillness and gently threw away the candy.
