A Western Doctor's Happy Farming Life

 Chapter 280: Not Meant To Be

Translator: LiamHW

At the thought of this, the Commander General asked abruptly, “How… did Xiaoyan die?”

Although someone had come and reported already before Wu Dahu came here to confess, this tiny detail was still unconspicuous to find out.

Instead of dodging about, Wu Dahu was being rather unperturbed, and he answered directly, “He sacrificed, for me.”

The Commander General was shocked upon hearing Wu Dahu’s words, while his eyebrows twisted without bunch of confusions.

“Isn’t he a spy? Why did he save you…”

If this Xiaoyan’s saving Wu Dahu was to frame him ultimately, it was unnecessary for Xiaoyan to confess everything before his death at all. In that case, the people within the army camp who got no ideas would definitely choose to trust him instead of Wu Dahu.

Besides, there was also another possibility out there- Wu Dahu was lying. However, if Wu Dahu was really that powerful to make up such a flawless and realistic falsehood, he might have been able to get the superior position now.

Considering the Commander General’s interrogation, Wu Dahu took a glance at Song Qinghan and then answered, “Probably he did so to repay me because we once saved his younger brother before.”

The Commander General froze, with an expression of understanding on his face.

And of course he wouldn’t bother to ask further about the detailed information how Song Qinghan and Wu Dahu saved Xiaoyan’s brother considering that it might be kind of rough and impolite. However, out of curiosity, he still couldn’t help but ask, “What… was their intention then?”

Song Qinghan exchanged glance with Wu Dahu and both of them chose not to dig it deeper. After all, if things had to be investigated root and branch, the deal between them and Muhammad would be another super long story to explain. At that time they would be thrown into another trouble with their suspicion of treason.

“Probably it is kind of a tactic to set fire between us two combating regions, so that they will benefit from it.”

The Commander General took a glance at the duo thoughtfully, yet he failed to get a satisfying reaction from their faces.

It was enough for the Commander General to speak so long today and he was almost exhausted from the conversation right now. The increasingly paler face of his made Song Qinghan rather concerned, and Song Qinghan added, “Lord, please take a good rest yourself and we will negotiate about this matter in the near future. Anyway, the barbarians won’t trouble us at least in a long period because they did suffer a lot in this combat.”

Knowing that Song Qinghan suggested that as an identity of a doctor, the Commander General did not feel offended at all. He waved his hand to the duo and then uttered exhaustedly, “Go and get yourself busy, and Dahu, your position is now reinstated. As for the other affairs, we will make a decision in the future.”

On the other side, Wu Dahu was neither surprised nor delighted in the face of the decision made by the Commander General. He bowed to pay his salute and then left the tent together with Song Qinghan.

It was true that one’s life could be changed from the impoverished to the noble over night for the sake of war, and it was beneficial not only for those who were coin-chasers, but also for those who had a high pursuit on position.

The only benefit of regaining the position as for Wu Dahu was, in fact, that all the rumors and gossips behind him seemed to have faded away. Well, it was indeed a truth that the POWER was something invaluable when someone had it but extremely valuable when he lost it.

Even though Jiayi, a stubborn femina man in rigidity, had already had a secret affair with another commander named Commander Lu, his eagerness to probe a higher position hidden started surge again inside him, especially after he found that there was a tendency for Wu Dahu to get promoted in the future.

While Song Qinghan was not with Wu Dahu in the tent, Jiayi sneaked in and showed up. Standing in front of Wu Dahu, he started sobbing with tears and snots, “Lord Wu, I’ve heard that you did lose your memories since you came back. I desperately want to meet you but I failed several times to make it. And now I might have used all my life-time fortune to meet you again, you never know how delightful I am now…”

At first, Wu Dahu took a glance at Jiayi when this femina man burst into tears and started uttering with sentiment. But after Jiayi finished his show, Wu Dahu answered coldly without raising his eyelids at all, “Sure you’re delightful, but not me.”

Jiayi paused suddenly as his expression on face froze, and he then asked in disbelief, “Why? Was… Was it because of Song Qinghan?”

Noticing that Jiayi was being a divergent-thinking person, Wu Dahu felt quite confused himself, and then he came to ask in a deep voice, “Oh, it is something related to Han? Confess to me what you got.”

Even though there was no any special expression on Wu Dahu’s face when he said so, the spirit and temperament he delivered was imposing enough that Jiayi was totally startled out of it.

“Was it because that Song Qinghan lust for intimate relations since he had long been outside far away from the hometown?” asked Jiayi, hesitated.

Upon hearing the words, Wu Dahu, however, burst out into laughter, “What kind of intimate relation do you mean? So in your perspective of view, treating the injured is one kind of intimate relation?”

Knowing that he might have said something improper, Jiayi added trying to amend the mistake, “For… Forgive me for talking nonsense, Lord Wu. But why aren’t you delightful by the way?”

He wanted to change the topic at first so as to ‘catch up’ with Wu Dahu. Yet to his surprise, Wu Dahu answered indifferently, “Well, I am upset because of the existence of you.”

Obviously there was an embarrassing silence falling in the tent, and it was so silent that Jiayi could even hear his heavier breath mixed with shame and anger.

“I, I will leave now, Lord Wu, take a good rest and please summon me after you regain your memories one day…”

Jiayi did not go back to his tent but instead went to meet Song Qinghan in the injured soldier camp. And at the moment he discovered that Song Qinghan was currently staying with those dirty-dressed soldiers,

Song Qinghan now, on the contrary, found himself having no hatred toward Jiayi because he was aware that there was no need for him to trouble himself with a fool.

Besides, Wu Dahu did not have any memories on Jiayi at all, nor did he have any sign to fall in love with him. So it would be annoying for himself to get that trouble in.

So when he greeted Jiayi he was quite relaxed, and he even delivered a smile, “What brings you here? Are you coming here to give me a hand?”

Under the leadership of Song Qinghan, a lot of femina men from the logistic team, especially the chamber pot department, gathered and joined the rescuing stuff voluntarily. Since their own duties were indeed relaxing without pressures and in addition, the population with the army camp declined dramatically after every combat, their jobs allotted were fewer. In that case they were in fact the real standby labor force which could be used properly.

And of course, if Song Qinghan was just no more than an ordinary femina man, these people probably wouldn’t be so active. But the fact was that Song Qinghan was the husband of Commander Wu.

If there was no accident, Wu Dahu would be promoted to the official position this time. And they would definitely benefit from association with Song Qinghan.

Of course Jiayi had already known everything about the relationship between Song Qinghan and Wu Dahu, but he was so conceited that he believed he himself was honorable under the glory of Commander Lu and that he shouldn’t make himself so lowly to mimic. So upon hearing Song Qinghan’s words, he shook his head nobly, “Of course not, I am quite busy myself everyday, alright?”

Song Qinghan smiled while mocking inside. And then Jiayi came to add again, “Speaking of which, I haven’t got even with you yet! Since you’re the husband of Lord Wu while knowing everything between me and Lord Wu, then you should take me home after the war comes to end.”

His self-confidence amused Song Qinghan, and Song Qinghan couldn’t help but respond with a wry smile, “Someone seemed have promised me that he would draw a distinction with Wu Dahu but he breaks the promise. What now? So are you going to abandon your Lord Lu as you find that Wu Dahu is going to get promoted?”

Sorrow appeared on Jiayi’s face as he heard the word ‘Lord Lu’, and then he answered gloomily, “Even though Lord Lu is good enough, we do not match at all. Wait, how can I describe the relationship? Hmmm, wait, let me think about it… Oh, WE ARE NOT MEANT TO BE! Right, me and Lord Lu are not meant to be, alas…”
