A Western Doctor's Happy Farming Life

Chapter 291: Consensus

Translator: LiamHW

Muhammad was speechless, and he sighed inside after noticing that Xiaoyan’s face became calmer, and then he said gloomily, “Since so, I allow you to go back your home and I will send my subordinates to guard you on the way. I sincerely hope that you will consider coming back as soon as possible. And at that time Hening will be rather happy.”

And then, he looked back at the direction where he was coming. Knowing that it was getting late out there, he added in a low voice, “The feast is still being held, and I will go back there now. I will get some of my subordinate here later to send you out.”

At the moment Muhammad turned around and was about to leave, Song Qinghan suddenly opened his mouth and asked in curiosity, “Do you mind me asking what you wrote on the rice paper?”

Mooch paused, raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a faint smile, “Well, I don’t believe that you can’t guess since I was able to guess. I just delivered something Hening wanted to see the most.”

Confusion overwhelmed Song Qinghan in the eyes, and suddenly he recalled the days and moments he spent with Hening, and then he uttered subconsciously, “Freedom?”

Muhammad, who had already walked a few meters away, waved his hand after hearing what Song Qinghan said, seemingly acquiescing.

On the other side, a flash of complexity passed through Xiao Fan’s eyes as he whispered, “He’s used to doing these things to earn people’s trust on him, otherwise my brother wouldn’t have treated him that way…”

Song Qinghan then reached out to pat Xiaofan on the shoulder when he saw that the man was putting on a sorrow look on face, however he had no more word to utter but sighed slightly.

What a fate! It seemed that everyone’s destiny was but connected by an invisible hand and was well-distributed in the very beginning, twisting together.

Not long after, one of Muhammad’s subordinates came over with a carriage and respectfully spoke to Wu Dahu and Song Qinghan, “Young Master, the carriage is ready.”

Wu Dahu and Song Qinghan exchanged their glances, and then both nodded to the man, got on the carriage.

Xiaofan looked at their backs, and suddenly uttered, “Stay in Qingmu, and don’t come over.”

In a response Song Qinghan delivered a bitter smile as Xiaofan wasn’t shy from the Muhammad’s subordinate at all, and he nodded, signaling for him to rest assured.

No one ever got the power to predict the fate and about who the next overlord was to reign half of this world since empires and dynasties erupted and vanished quickly in short period. If Qingmu Region was still the dominant power, they would not choose to come back to the Empire Mu at all, but if Empire Mu developed violently and annexed Qingmu Region, they would of course naturally become a citizen of Empire Mu.

The carriage gradually disappeared in sight in the darkness, leaving the Empire Mu and slowly heading to Qingmu Region.

And currently the army base camp had already laid flat and every solder and commander had left for their families. Therefore, they chose to cross the border directly heading to the Yueban City.

The carriage was driven by a specific coachman, so they did not have to stop to rest at all, and the next morning when the sun started to shine, they arrived at the gate of the Yueban City.

When they knocked on the gate with the dew, Hualian and Yuan Wenxuan, who had not seen them for a long time, looked at them with surprise, and ran around jubilantly, and then went to prepare the warm bath and help them unload their packages.

Even though Little Shitou had not seen Hualian and Yuan Wenxuan for quite a long time, they were not strangers to him at all. And the baby stretched forth his chubby hands while babbling to Yuan Wenxuan, “Hug! Hug!”

Yuan Wenxuan smiled greatly and reached out to take Little Shitou over, he exclaimed subconsciously after feeling the weight on his hands, “Little Shitou got weight!”

Not sure whether Little Shitou came to understand his meaning or not, he waved his fists as if he was protesting, “Bad! Brother bad!”

Although Song Qinghan and Wu Dahu were already extremely exhausted, they couldn’t help but smile at the sight of such a heartwarming scene, reaching out to pinch Little Stone’s face. After going back to their room and taking a bath, they came out again and sat in the middle of the courtyard. While eating the fruit that Hualian prepared for them, they shared some interesting stories on this journey with them.

Hualian and Yuan Wenxuan were both with a concerned look on their faces while hearing the duo’s stories. But soon they calmed down and became cheerful again since the three had come back unharmed. All sorts of food were served later on, as if they were eager to help the duo regain their weight immediately.

After the sharing, they went back to their room and finally got a peaceful rest at home. And when they woke up again, it was the next morning.

Strength regained, Wu Dahu went out in an attempt to inquire about the latest news.

Song Qinghan, as expected, informed Hualian and Yuan Wenxuan about the invitation of Muhammad. And then he laughed after they were showing their surprise but nodding, “If we really go there, we might be accused of treason, aren’t you guys afraid of that?”

“Since I have made up my mind that I will follow you wherever you go, Mistress, I will go no matter what crime I am about to bear on myself. It is enough for me as long as I can serve you.” answered Hualian.

Even though he had expressed similar determination a long time ago, it was totally different at this time. Hualian was no more than a poor guy from an impoverished family and was completely controlled by noble without freedom at all in the past, and now he was all free serving Song Qinghan and his family, and that was the life he lusted for. So naturally he would definitely go anywhere the family settled. But he now had a stable relationship with Lusen without a tie of marriage yet. So that was so hard for him to make such a promise.

However, to see it in a larger picture, Lusen was an orphan. So if they really wanted to leave the region for the Empire Mu, he could be counted in.

Yuan Wenxuan’s response was simpler. He answered without even a moment of hesitation, “Master, there will be no worry for me at all to follow you anywhere.”

He was indeed a prodigy at surgery and had improved his operation skill in this period. Yet he still paled into insignificance when pitted against Song Qinghan.

Besides, the further he probed in the western medicine, the more knowledges he was curious about and intended to discover. He would never back home to meet his father until he learned everything from Song Qinghan.

Song Qinghan laughed cheerfully after hearing his answer, and then he joked, “Come on! What a duo you are, haha, one of you is the flathead while the other is the jolly fool. I can sell you both at the same time!”

Hualian and Yuan Wenxuan smiled awkwardly, exchanging their glances. They all enjoyed the warm moment.

The two of them had lived with each other when Song Qinghan and Wu Dahu were away for the war, and although they hadn’t encountered anything disgusting, they were also “comrades” in the same trench.

Wu Dahu came back after the night fell. Yet to Song Qinghan’s surprise, Wu Dahu was coming back with a gloomy face.

When Song Qinghan showed up and reached out to help him take off his cloth, he tried his best to suppress the anger inside him, “The Emperor had already known the event of the marriage on the way. I am not sure what Mork had complained in the letter, but the Emperor did not even open the letter from Muhammad and ordered the guards to detain every single staff involved in the accompanying team. They are about to be executed.”

Song Qinghan was utterly shocked standing there as if he still hadn’t come back to his senses on this news, and then he asked subconsciously, “What do you mean ‘to be executed’?”

Wu Dahu looked at him faintly and answered with a serious look, “Death sentence.”

Seeing Song Qinghan’s pupils shrink with a shocked expression, Wu Dahu sighed heavily and said with an emotional tone, “It is totally out of my surprise as well, and I just got the news from the Commander General. He had found the absence of me and you yesterday and come to know that we might have got ourselves involved in this event, so he asked me not to mention our whereabouts yesterday. He will help us cover things up by claiming that we were staying with him yesterday.”

At this point, the Commander General should be considered to be another life-savior to Wu Dahu. Otherwise he wouldn’t have chosen to give a helping hand to conceal the fact at the risk of being accused of lying to the Emperor.

But… Even though there was a way for them to protect themselves, what would those innocent people face then?
