[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 264 [English]

Chapter 252 Side Snake

The rain became lighter and Xiao Chiye retreated towards Duanzhou City Gate.The garrison began to clean up the battlefield non-stop. The water in Haoli overflowed, soaking the road in front of the door to a pulp. The horse’s hooves stepped on it and it was covered with mud. Everyone was dirty.

Shen Zechuan stood in front of the city gate, watching Lang Taoxue approaching.Xiao Chiye leaned over from the horse, and Shen Zechuan raised his right arm and lightly touched him.Xiao Chiye looked at Shen Zechuan and did not retract his arm.He turned his hand and raised it close to Shen Zechuan’s chin. In the rain, he lowered his eyes and touched Shen Zechuan’s forehead.

Two people were stuck in the rain.

Shen Zechuan narrowed his eyes, and the raindrops dripped along his eyelashes on the bridge of Xiao Chiye’s nose. He slowly laughed, and gradually laughed out.

Qiao Tianya came on horseback, but stopped midway. He turned to look at Ji Gang and said, “Where are you going, Master?”

Ji Gang stood at the entrance of the passage for a long time, threw the cloak in his hand to Qiao Tianya, and looked at the rain curtain.

Qiao Tianya put the cloak on himself and said: “Master, Ji Family Boxing has become famous again after this battle. Father Ji knows that he should rest in peace.”

Ji Gang looked up at the sky, rain splashing into his eyes.After a long time, he said: “Duanzhou will have a good harvest this year.”

Qiao Tianya smiled.

Ji Gang put his hands behind his back, turned around and sighed, no longer looking at Shen Zechuan, and said, “Hurry up and call the doctor!”

***

The rain stopped only at midnight the next day, and the bamboo tubes in the courtyard were beating against the moss rocks.Ding Tao was wrapped in a small coat and guarded the corridor with Li Xiong, watching the doctors come and go.

Calendar Bear said: “I’m thirsty.”

Ding Tao clutched the book and whispered: “Then go get some water yourself, I will stay here.”

Li Xiong looked troubled and blocked the corridor, shaking his head vigorously, refusing to go alone.

Kong Ling inside opened the curtain and led the doctor out with a solemn expression.Fei Shengcai woke up and came to take his shift. When he saw the doctor come out, he immediately came to pick him up. He asked his subordinates to take the doctor to a side hall and asked Kong Ling: “Sir, how is the master?”

Kong Ling shook his head, walked back into the house with he, and whispered: “Go in later, don’t disturb the master. The second master is worried and stayed inside all night without sleeping.”

Fei Sheng did not dare to say anything more and followed Kong Ling into the room. He saw that there was a bamboo curtain hanging inside, and Xiao Chiye, who had taken off his armor, was reading a prescription. The doctor who had not yet left stood solemnly opposite the second master, bowed and whispered softly: “…it will be inconvenient to hold a knife in the future…those fingers…”

Fei Sheng felt bad after hearing these two sentences.He calmed down and saw Xiao Chiye’s stern expression, which silenced all the people serving in the room.

“Waist…calves…”

There was also the right arm that was almost removed by Hazen.

Shen Zechuan just came back yesterday, and he still looked good. After washing his face, he could see that his complexion was pale.The two fingers of his right hand were originally swollen. They fell into a hole during the fight with Hasen and were scratched to pieces. They were soaked in dirty water. In the end, he had to lift Yangshanxue with his left hand and could not move his right hand at all.He did not mount the horse and return to the city, pretending to be calm. In fact, the wound on his waist tore when he stood up. The act of mounting the horse was too difficult for him, so he could only hold on and let Huo Lingyun lead the horse.

As soon as Shen Zechuan’s tense nerves relaxed, the rain he had been soaked in also started to fade away.He thought he was asleep, but he was actually semi-conscious.The fever last night was so severe that it hasn’t subsided yet. I vomited whatever I ate. My stomach was filled with hard steamed buns. After I vomited it up, I vomited acidic water.

The curtains were hung to block light. After the doctor left, Xiao Chiye opened a slit to look at Lan Zhou.

Lan Zhou’s hair was spread out between the quilts, and he couldn’t curl up, so he was half-lying with his uninjured side pressed against him.The side of his face was slightly exposed, and the corners of his raised eyes were not as tempting as usual, as if he was sleeping normally.Xiao Chiye touched the corners of his eyes, but he didn’t move. As long as Xiao Chiye was by his side, he dared to be so undefended.He looked very small, completely enveloped by Xiao Chiye’s figure.

Xiao Chiye had difficulty breathing and there was pain everywhere in his chest.He leaned over and kissed Lan Zhou’s temple. The movement of his fingertips was as gentle as stroking a cub that still had fluff.

Doctors in the courtyard came and went, giving Mr. Fu a cup of medicine. After a while, Shen Zechuan vomited again.Ji Gang couldn’t see it, so he carried the doctor and continued to look.The side hall was packed with people.After the joy of surviving the disaster, the house was shrouded in dark clouds.

The military reports from the battlefield at Shenshi arrived, and they were piled up with the military reports from the border counties, and they all urged Xiao Chiye to read them.Xiao Chiye did not dare to leave Shen Zechuan and sent them all to the side hall. While he was drinking water, he stood in the side hall, listening to the doctors talking about prescriptions and reading military reports.

Ding Tao didn’t dare to make a fuss at this moment, so she held Li Xiong’s sleeve and said, “There is a kettle under the porch. I’ll pour you a cup.”

Li Xiong didn’t move his feet, he rubbed his nose and nodded in annoyance.

Ding Taola couldn’t move Calendar Bear, and wondered: “Why don’t you leave?”

Li Xiong didn’t say a word. He saw someone coming from the other side of the cave door. Fei Sheng was walking in with the newly arrived doctor. He passed the corridor in a blink of an eye, lifted the curtain and entered the room. There were also Mr. Kong Ling and other gentlemen guarding the room outside.

The new doctor, who had a decent appearance and a Fanzhou accent, said: “Fujun’s body can’t stand the rain. With vomiting like this, the medicine will definitely not go in.” He rolled up his sleeves and asked the accompanying medicine boy to open the medicine box, took out the needle bag and showed it to Gao Zhongxiong who was standing aside, “I’ll give you a few injections.”

Kong Ling stood up and said, “Don’t be busy now. Let’s wait until the second master comes over before making a decision.”

The doctor spread his hands and continued: “Rescuing people is like putting out fire, and there is no time to lose. Otherwise, you should send someone to urge the second master to come over. I will prepare everything.”

Gao Zhongxiong responded repeatedly and walked out. When he reached the door, he found Li Xiong blocking the door.

The doctor turned his back, lifted some curtains, and walked inside, still telling the medicine boy: “Bring the box in–”

Fei Sheng noticed something when the medicine boy retracted the needle bag. He suddenly grasped the handle of the knife and shouted: “Stay!”

However, the medicine boy immediately threw away his hand, and a cold light appeared in the needle bag.Fei Sheng could dodge, but the gentlemen could not. He could only draw his sword to block, and hit Kong Ling with a clanking sound of hidden weapons.

The tables and chairs outside were knocked over, and Kong Ling couldn’t stand firm. When he fell on the rafter, he still stretched out his hands and yelled: “Someone, come quickly!”

The doctor had already jumped into the inner room, and the bamboo curtain fell down with a swish, blocking everyone’s view.Fei Sheng was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat. As soon as he stepped out, he was stopped by the medicine boy swinging a chair.

Oops!

Fei Sheng lost his voice and said: “Protect the Lord!”

The guards at the corridor broke the window and were too late to get in. Gao Zhongxiong was suddenly knocked to the ground. He saw Li Xiong running as fast as flying, screaming and rushing into the room, and threw the doctor to the ground with a fierce force.The two people bumped into the footrest in front of the bed, causing the hanging curtain to startle.The steel needle held by the doctor’s fingertips went straight into Li Xiong’s eyes. Li Xiong twisted his hand and knocked the doctor’s head back to the ground.

The doctor was so dizzy that he hugged Li Xiong’s neck with his backhand, twisted his body and flipped Li Xiong to the ground, blocking Li Xiong’s neck.The two people rolled over and knocked down the low table in the back room. The teapot fell down and the hot tea splashed all over Li Xiong’s face.Lixiong panted heavily and punched the opponent in the face, but missed.

The doctor pressed Li Xiong, and the side of Li Xiong’s face was rubbed into the broken porcelain pieces, which were covered with blood marks. He shouted: “Snake! Snake!”

The doctor raised the steel needle, but his back suddenly sank, and his whole body was knocked over and rolled to the ground.He covered half of his face, said something loudly in Biansha dialect, and quickly touched the dropped steel needle.Xiao Chiye suddenly pulled up the collar of the four-legged snake and hit it against the ground.

There were only a few muffled “dong” sounds outside, but no more sound.

The guards held down the medicine boy. Before Fei Sheng could catch his breath, the bamboo curtain was knocked wildly. The doctor, whose head was covered with blood, rolled on the gauze outside and was out of breath.

Xiao Chiye looked cold and stern, suppressing his anger, and said in a cold voice: “From the courtyard to the gate, I will block every person ten steps away. Who screened them? Get out!”

People inside and outside the courtyard suddenly fell to their knees.

The guards in the mansion actually let the other party enter the inner room in a grand manner.Fei Sheng couldn’t stop sweating. He knocked his head on the ground and didn’t dare to say a word.
