A Western Doctor's Happy Farming Life

Chapter 278: Watch Out, Dahu!

Translator: LiamHW

Song Qinghan and Shuluo as well as the rest of the people backup in the army camp, however, had no way to do something helpful in the fight. After all, they had to wait to give a helping hand until the current fight came to its end.

Since the Commander General had been treated smoothly, they were never required here anymore. Besides, the head of the doctor group alone would be enough to take care of the general if that was required. At the thought of that, Song Qinghan signaled Shuluo to leave with him, and soon the two disappeared without wasting time.

The head of the doctor group stared at the backs of the two, reluctant. Yet he failed to say anything to keep them stay. For one thing Song Qinghan was not the subordinate of his and he naturally had no right to command, and for the other, even though Shuluo was his one of his assistants, argument would be the only result if he command him to do so.

With this consideration he sighed. It was such an exhausting position for him though because he found himself wasn’t free as these two ordinary people who were with no position at all.

On the way Song Qinghan suddenly spoke to Shuluo, “Go get the information about the barbarian’s whereabouts, and we will get there later.”

Shuluo was utterly shocked at the moment Song Qinghan said so, and he then looked at Song Qinghan dubiously, “What are you trying to do? Don’t tell me that you are going to check the corpse of the man. Or… Do you think that the man is still alive?”

Song Qinghan was amused by Shuluo’s wild imagination, and he responded calmly, “No, we are not going to check the corpse of the man nor will we end his life if he is still alive. We will just go there and take a look. Well, nothing special but I would really love to satisfy my own curiosity and see how spies look like.”

Shuluo nodded as he found that what Song Qinghan said did make sense, “Alright then, I will go probe the situation now, wait for me here.”

After all, Shuluo was a person who had been in the lower class with various ordinary people, and although he did not move around much after he entered the wounded soldiers’ camp, he still had a way of making friends with others, and in a short while he turned his head back to Song Qinghan and beckoned to him, motioning him to come over. After Song Qinghan came in the tent, Shuluo started to speak mysteriously, “This is my old acquaintance who is the son-in-law of my father’s cousin living in the village next to mine. He allows us to go in and check. But since he is not someone who has the power, we can’t leave a mess behind to him. We should come out in half an hour.”

The ‘old acquaintance’ of Shuluo stood there with his mouth opened wide. Half an hour? It seemed that it was a completely different conception with the phrase ‘Take a look’. Yet before he came to say something in response, Song Qinghan suddenly broke in, “Alright, then no more time should be wasted now, let’s go in lest this kind brother will worry.”

After that, they approached directly and unveiled the curtain of the tent without further hesitation, and walked into the tent in a quick move.

Their moves were so fast that the man guarding the tent failed to take a quick response to block their way. And after he finally came back to his senses, he found that the two had already been inside and absorbing in investigating the corpse on the ground.

Noticing that his the other guards who were standing on the other side were looking at him, the man waved his hand, while saying indifferently, “Nothing is going to happen letting them to just have a look. It is just a corpse anyway. Don’t tell anyone else that I let them in and I will treat you guys some wine.”

The other guards did not bother to speak, and they shared the same consideration after all. It was nothing but just a body, and as long as these two femina men weren’t scared and about to scream, they would keep their mouth shut even if the two would love to stay inside for a whole day.

At the same time, Shuluo was pointing at the body while talking to Song Qinghan, “This person looks quite different from those barbarians.”

And it could be seen that Song Qinghan’s current eyes were flickering with doubt and question, and he answered, “Of course he looks different, because he is a mixed-race…”

The countenance of the body on the ground was of peacefulness. Even though it is sharp featured like the other barbarians, some tiny differences could still be detected if they examined on it more carefully. Rather than describing it as a sharp featured face, it was more tender.

And that was not a nuance which could be explained by a conception of ‘rigor mortis’, so the only possibility was: This guy wasn’t a pure barbarian.

But how? How was it possible that a mixed-race man was involved? Was it done by Muhammad?

Song Qinghan suddenly felt that he was about to guess the truth.

From the news they had received at the barbarians, it was clear that Muhammad’s team was commencing attacking the barbarians, which explained why Mork would leave Utan behind alone in their own base camp and led their troops to back up previously.

Logically speaking, it was the busiest time right now. How could he have the time to intervene in Qingmu’s matter?

Unless… This matter was crucial to their side.

Song Qinghan was holding his chin and was deep in thought. And at this moment Shuluo suddenly spoke, “The fight out there is kind of fierce, I hope that we still can win the battle even without the Commander General.”

These words were like a key that instantly unlocked the shackles in Song Qinghan’s mind, he put down his hand and cried in shock, “I just know it!”

Noticing that Song Qinghan was walking outward after the shout, Shuluo followed in behind hurriedly, and then asked in an urgent voice, “What do you know? Don’t you head to the battlefield, it is dangerous, think about yourself, you are pregnant!”

However, Song Qinghan acted as if he hadn’t heard anything behind, striding towards the direction where the sounds of killing were the loudest. And he suddenly stopped when he was at the edge of the battlefield.

Seeing that Song Qinghan was staring intently at the centre of the battlefield, Shuluo followed his line of sight, and upon seeing the image of Wu Dahu valiantly killing the enemy, he suddenly realized, “Oh, it turns out that you are worried about your husband. Well, don’t worry, he is kind of powerful, and he will surely be fine.”

In fact he said so in order to comfort Song Qinghan, but deep in his mind he knew that even the most powerful man couldn’t fully assure his own safety in the battlefield since the swords and knives and other weapons were used without eyes.

No sooner had this thought occurred to him than he saw a bulky man with a large sword suddenly leap out of Wu Dahu’s side. From the bulky man’s abrupt behavior, he seemed have nursed a determination to perish together with Wu Dahu, with his eyes bulging in anger.

“Ah!” Shuluo sounded and cried, but the next second he realized that such an abrupt shout might again made Song Qinghan more nervous, so he quickly covered his mouth with his hands, staring tightly on the direction at the scene and waiting for the consequence of the fierce fight.

Wu Dahu seemed to have noticed the person’s purpose as well. He twisted his sword to the other side agilely, threw the enemy who was currently fighting against him several meters away. And then he caught the bulky man’s attack with his crossed blade, and wrestling with him in an indistinguishable struggle.

The situation on the battlefield seemed to be in a stalemate, with more and more Qingmu and barbarian soldiers dying, and no one knew when the end would come.

It could be seen that Song Qinghan’s face was twisted with concern and worry. And at the moment he caught a glimpse of a silver light from the other side, he shouted subconsciously, “Watch out, Dahu!”

A silver arrow that was so fast that it could not be seen by the naked eye suddenly jumped through the air. And its aim was apparently the spot where Wu Dahu and that bulky man stayed. If Wu Dahu failed to discern the situation, he might have been shot right at his heart.

Shu Luo also noticed this scene under Song Qinghan’s shout. Seeing that Wu Dahu’s back was facing the arrow and he looked unaware of it, he was almost frightened to death, wishing he could stretch out his hand and pluck the arrow away.

Seeing that the arrow was still a metre away from entering Wu Dahu’s chest, Song Qinghan subconsciously closed his eyes, with his heart beating so fast that it was as if the world had stood still at that moment.

Thump, Thump ……

“Lord Wu is safe!” Shu Lu’s suddenly sounded, while Song Qinghan’s wrist was held tightly by him. With shock and surprise, he opened his eyes abruptly.

A familiar figure suddenly appeared behind Wu Dahu, and that arrow pierced into his chest instead of Wu Dahu’s back. It could be seen that the man who devoted to sacrifice struggled to smile, and then reached out to pull the arrow out from his chest. The blood sprayed out at the moment it was completely extracted, and then the man seemed to have uttered something but soon collapsed on the ground.
