Chapter 497 - 497 Recuperate

497 Recuperate

Even if there was water, some vegetables could not be washed at home, so Jiang Yue took them out from the basket and washed them in the river.

The vegetables were packed in a bamboo basket.

It was still carried by Xue Yan.

However, before the two of them could leave Xue Dagui’s courtyard, they saw a man dressed like an attendant with a scar on his face. He was dressed in black and had a sword by his waist. He was leading a tall black horse as he slowly approached them.

When the man saw them, he hurried over and cupped his fists. “May I ask if you are the two children who saved our master? My family’s master’s surname is Shao. I received a letter and asked around along the way. The letter seems to be talking about this place.”

As he spoke, he looked around.

“Yes.” Jiang Yue replied. “He’s inside. You go in from the central room. It’s the room on the right.”

“Thank you!” The man was overjoyed.

Immediately after, he quickly tied the horse and strode in.

Jiang Yue didn’t care anymore and continued to wash vegetables by the river with Xue Yan.

The man strode into the house and saw Shao Shuting lying on the bed. He immediately shouted in joy, “Master! Then, he looked around every room. When he saw that there was no one else in the house except him and Shao Shuting, he knelt down on one knee and asked for forgiveness, “I’ve come late by ten nights, please forgive me, great general!”

“Alright, get up. This isn’t your fault. I’m the one who caused this.” Shao Shuting waved his hand and motioned for his subordinate to get up.

He didn’t expect the wound to be so serious that he would faint in the alley. He came here because he wanted to secretly check on his nephew’s whereabouts and also because he didn’t want to take medicine.

His father was in the southern army camp. If he didn’t take the medicine, he would be forced to drink it.

Now, there were two new demons here, and they would not spoil him, especially Jiang Yue. It was terrifying.

“Great general, our men will be here soon. Just bear with it for a little longer, and we’ll take you out of here in a moment.”

“Why should I leave?” Shao Shuting raised his eyebrows.

Shao Shuting smiled. “Tell those people not to come and pick me up. I’ll stay here and recuperate. That doctor is quite powerful. I think he’s even more powerful than the military doctor in our military camp. He cut the flesh there… I think he’s the only one who could have done it… I have to listen to the doctor and recuperate. Besides, there’s ice here. It’s so cool, and there’s someone I’m interested in.”

He was going to recuperate anyway, so where else could he go?

After much thought, he still felt that it was better to recuperate here.

As for his original plan of only staging for a few days before leaving, he would let it go with the wind.

It was also because he was interested in the two devils, otherwise he would have left as early as he could have.

His subordinate was very hesitant, “If you don’t drink your medicine…”

He knew that his great general would always refuse to drink his medicine, and only his father would dare to force him to drink it. It was also because their High Duke was their great general’s father that their great general did not dare to retaliate. However, without the High Duke’s force, his injuries would definitely not recover.

In his opinion, he had to quickly send his great general back to the military camp and let their High Duke feed him medicine again.

As a general, Shao Shuting had to maintain a certain dignity in front of his subordinates. He was naturally embarra.s.sed to say that there were two children who could control him, especially a little baby girl who would feed him medicine.

“You don’t have to worry about that. The medicine will go into my stomach.” Shao Shuting said perfunctorily.

His subordinate was even more astonished, his eyes widening, “You can drink the medicine now?!”

It was like the end of the world when he heard this.
