A Western Doctor's Happy Farming Life

Chapter 308: Taken Away

Translator: LiamHW

After they left, Wu Dahu re-showered and washed the blood off his body, and was just about to get into bed when he heard Song Qinghan ask thoughtfully, “What do you think about the Saint Clan stuff? Why are they so clingy to trouble us around?”

He had already ruled out the possibility that this matter was done to them by someone else under the guise of the Saint Clan, after all, such small snakes could not be controlled well, and if they were not controlled by someone familiar with them, it was simply impossible for them to all burrow into their room so neatly.

Moreover, from what the innkeeper had just confessed, these so-called Saint Clansmen were not of low status, he really could not think of anyone who could order them around.

So, when had they provoked such a powerful and terrifying opponent?

Wu Dahu seemed to be pondering this question as well, and shook his head as he said with certainty, “We definitely didn’t actively provoke them, but unintentionally, it is kind of hard to tell, maybe one of our actions while shopping today offended them.”

Such people who had lived on the mainland for a long time, even if they didn’t necessarily have the most advanced knowledge and technology, their accumulation was in fact incomparable to those of outsiders like themselves, so who knew whether there was anyone who was an informer but disguised as an ordinary person among the crowd?

Moreover, those who could perform such rituals to the heavens, even if they didn’t kill, were mentally different from ordinary people, and it was normal for them to have taboo strange habits.

Song Qinghan was now brainstorming recalling what he had done today like a movie flashing in his head, and only after a long while did he hesitantly utter, “Should it be… that they have a taboo to eat meat?”

Of all the shops they went to today, only the butcher’s stall was the least crowded, so Song Qinghan naturally put his guesses on the butcher’s stall.

Wu Dahu smiled as a response and then he answered in certainty, “Of course not, otherwise those butcher’s stall should have already shut down earlier. Besides, do you really believe that those who raise the snake as pet would not eat meat? They maybe can hold their lust for it, but their pets won’t for sure.”

Song Qinghan was just imagining things, because his thoughts were now a mess, seeing that his proposal that he had just casually said was rejected by Wu Dahu, he did not feel angry, he just nodded haphazardly, lying flat on the bed in a good manner and yawning, “Let’s talk about it tomorrow, I haven’t slept well yet ……”

Listening to his breathing that had become calm, Wu Dahu somehow always felt that something was wrong somewhere, but when he stood up and looked over the room carefully, he found nothing.

It was probably because what had just happened was so unexpected that he was now as alerted as a bird of prey at the slightest movement.

After lying down on the bed again, he slowly closed his eyelids, and after a short while, he drifted off the sleep together with Song Qinghan and Little Shitou.

In a place he had not noticed, a tiny bamboo tube had somehow been inserted into a crack in the door frame, slowly emitting a light white smoke that accompanied every breath they took and slowly burrowed into their bodies…

The noise outside the room burst into ears, Wu Dahu opened his eyes suddenly, while the dazzling light almost hurled his eyes.

He raised his hand to his forehead and squinted to examine around the room, slightly relieved to see no change in the room’s furnishings, but it was only when he felt towards the bed that he finally noticed something was wrong.

Song Qinghan was gone!

Yet Little Shitou was still there on the bed. The baby was also awaken by the dazzling light, and right at this moment he was staring at Wu Dahu while babbling unintentionally, “Femi Daddy! Femi Daddy!”

Wu Dahu picked up Little Shitou and rushed out of the room. After looking around downstairs and finding no trace of Song Qinghan, he went back upstairs and knocked on the door of the room where the rest of the family members stayed.

Lusen still seemed a little embarrassed when he opened the door, scratching his head and saying, “Lord Wu, we overslept ……”

Hualian glanced out and saw that Wu Dahu’s brow was furrowed and Song Qinghan was not aside, he got tense suddenly as he blurted out, “Where is Mistress, Lord Wu?”

Yuan Wenxuan just woke up, and he rubbed his temple while glancing around in the room with gloomy face, when he saw the untraceable bamboo tube in the corner, he leapt out and shouted, “Someone has put ecstasy in our room!”

Wu Dahu had already followed his line of sight and found the bamboo tube. He directly shoved Little Shitou into Hualian’s arms and quickly rushed into his room, and indeed found an identical bamboo tube in the corner.

He cupped that bamboo tube and walked downstairs without saying a word.

When the innkeeper saw his face so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping with water, he felt his scalp tingle for some reason and said with a reluctant smile, “Sir, what’s wrong?”

Wu Dahu slapped the bamboo tube on the counter and said in a deep voice, “You’d better explain clearly to me why this kind of thing keeps happening in your inn again and again! First it was poisonous snakes, then it was ecstasy, are you running a shady inn or what?”

His voice was not too loud, but it was loud enough for the people next to him to hear clearly. When they saw the innkeeper stammering and unable to speak, they thought that the innkeeper was admitting what Wu Dahu had just said, so they were frightened and hurriedly ran out hand in hand, discouraging the idea of staying overnight.

The innkeeper looked rather annoyed on his face as the rest of customers aside fled away, and he slapped on his own thighs and said, “Sir! You shouldn’t blacken my business like that without a proof! How come my inn is a shady one? If it is a real shady inn, how am I able to run it so big?”

Even though what he said was kind of sincere, he still witnessed the snakes last night with his own eyes. And as for the ecstasy, although he did not see it by himself, he knew that it did happen because Wu Dahu was kind of serious right now, and for a moment he couldn’t help but feel regretful.

What a misfortune to meet this gang of people! It was so unlucky, the innkeeper thought, that he would encounter such annoying things in a row one after another. He thought himself was indeed the one who should question instead of being questioned, yet he was timid enough that he could only argue here but did nothing further.

Thinking of this, he asked tentatively, “Since our inn is so arcane, why don’t you change to another one, sir?”

Seeing that Wu Dahu just looked at him and said nothing, he gritted his teeth and took out the piece of ingot that Wu Dahu had given him yesterday and said with reluctance, “Forget about the room fee last night, take this ingot back to you and leave please!”

Wu Dahu remained silent, but the innkeeper was as agitated as an ant on a hot pot, watching the people who came in here being scared away one by one by Wu Dahu, with the expression on his face grew even gloomier as if he was about to cry out the next moment.

Before he broke down, Wu Dahu finally spoke with his tone as calm as ever.

“My husband was taken away. If you can’t give me a proper explanation, just wait for the official court to summon and get investigated.”

After saying that, he didn’t even look at the shocked expression on the shopkeeper’s face and walked straight upstairs.

Daylight had arrived and there were finally fewer of those annoying stuffs, so it was time to get down to business.

When he returned to the room, Yuan Wenxuan was squatting there, frowning and deep in thought. He was holding another bamboo tube in his hand and smelling it from time to time.
