Chapter 26 It’s inevitable to feel inferior
Su Nuan hurried in and came into the hall with a frosty mask on her face.
When Mrs. Xue saw Su Nuan coming back, she said happily, "You're back, Nuan Nuan, come quickly, Cang'er is awake."
Su Nuan was startled. Ling Cang had woken up? Could this be a last gasp of energy?
Ling Cang sat against the wall of the cave. He looked at Su Nuan and was a little surprised that he didn't see any grievance or fear on Su Nuan's face.
Su Nuan nodded to Ling Cang and smiled, not knowing what to say in this situation.
Ling Cang asked in a hoarse voice: "Are you really willing to go into exile with us?"
Su Nuan frowned. It felt really bad to be questioned.
She replied, "If I didn't want to, I would have left long ago. Why would I have walked here with you?"
"Also, don't say you're a burden. Since I can save your life, I can also make you healthy again."
"Your death will do us no good. It will only make our loved ones sad and our enemies happy."
Ling Cang found that the words he wanted to say were blocked in his throat before he could even say them out loud. He felt a little suffocated, but this feeling of suffocation soon turned into a warm current that flowed into his heart.
He said somewhat embarrassedly: "I know, don't worry."
Su Nuan nodded. "Yes, and your leg wasn't treated in time. The fracture is dislocated and healing is happening. If you break it and reattach it now, your bones will grow back properly when you get to the North."
"It's just that to heal a broken bone like this, I need to find someone with internal strength. I can't do that, so I haven't treated you yet."
Ling Cang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is there anyone named Ah Da in the team?"
Su Nuan's eyes lit up, "Ada? The one dressed as a woman?"
Ling Cang was stunned for a moment, not sure if Su Nuan was talking about the same person as him. He added, "Ada's hands are different from those of ordinary people."
Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, I'm driving for my cousin now. I'm a freelancer and it's convenient for me to do things."
Ling Cang showed no surprise and said, "Let him come, but what can I do?"
Su Nuan thought for a moment and shook her head, "No, the only thing I can do is cooperate with the treatment and eat and drink as needed."
Ling Cang lowered his head. Now he was the only one who couldn't help at all and was even a burden. It was inevitable that he would feel a little inferior.
Su Nuan comforted him, "Don't think too much. Let's take it one step at a time. Now that you're awake, it's even better. After all, the general's prestige is still there, and it can scare off many people with ulterior motives."
Ling Cang smiled bitterly. Remaining influence? Where was the remaining influence? When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked. That's the way the world is.
Xue quickly changed the subject and said with a smile, "What did you bring back? Let me see."
Su Nuan knew that Xue was not the kind of mother-in-law who would exploit her daughter-in-law, so she changed the subject as she wished.
"Mom, Dong'er gave me a lot of things, come and take a look."
As she spoke, she opened the oilcloth and several bags rolled out.
Fortunately, there was not enough light in the cave, otherwise they would have seen that Su Nuan definitely could not bring back so many things, at least not enough to cover them with oilcloth.
Mrs. Xue was a little dumbfounded. "Why is there so much? What does she eat?"
Su Nuan smiled and said, "She still has plenty there, enough to eat. Besides, it's more convenient for her than for us. There's a village on the way where she can go in and buy things."
"These dried vegetables are good. Let's make some wild vegetable soup."
Xue began to count the things in the bag, and she was happier than ever when she saw the jewelry she liked.
Su Nuan took out some clothes and said, "Mom, let's change our clothes. We are still wearing the clothes from the general's mansion. If we encounter bandits, they will definitely rob us first."
Only then did Xue realize the problem with their clothes. When their house was searched, they were not allowed to change into prison uniforms, so they were still wearing silk.
"Okay, you're really careful. I didn't notice any of this."
Everyone took turns going to the small toilet to wipe their bodies with water, put on new underwear, and then put on a half-worn coarse linen coat.
There is no decoration on the head, so it doesn't look too eye-catching.
Su Nuan nodded in satisfaction, "From now on, this outer shirt cannot be washed, but the inner shirt can be washed."
Xue is not the kind of person who doesn't understand things. The cleanliness and hygiene she used to have cannot be maintained now.
She sighed, "This is pretty good. Look at the people outside. Do they have a life as comfortable as ours?"
Everyone laughed when they heard this. Yes, they were already living the most comfortable lives, so what else could they ask for?
However, they also understood that this comfortable life was given by Su Nuan. Without her, these people would live worse than those outside.
The old lady smiled, a rare sight, and said, "Have you changed yet? Come and try the vegetable soup I made."
The wild vegetable soup with dried meat and salt tasted very good, and even Ling Cang drank a bowl of the soup.
However, Xue forced him to drink the remaining ginseng soup, as it could not be stored for a long time and its medicinal properties would be ruined.
Ling Canghu's eyes were filled with tears. Although the tears did not fall, one could see how moved he was in his heart.
Su Nuan took off the ring and returned it to Ling Cang, "You can take this back. I don't know how to use it."
Ling Cang was very surprised and asked, "Do you know what this is?"
To ordinary people, this is just a ring, but Su Nuan's tone doesn't sound like she doesn't know its function.
Su Nuan didn't avoid the question and answered directly: "I know. My father mentioned this thing and told me to steal it."
Anyway, Su Liren already has more than one blame on his head, and he can handle one more.
Ling Cang nodded, but did not reach out his hand. "I gave it to you, it's yours. How do you use it..."
His gaze fell on Ling Yun, his eyes filled with regret, "I don't know how many of our people have infiltrated the team, so we'll have to wait and see."
He paused and asked again, "Is there any hope for Xiaoyun to be cured?"
Su Nuan glanced at Ling Yun who was playing with Tuantuan. This guy could be cured, but she didn't want to treat him. If he recovered, he would see her flaws. It would be better for her to remain an idiot.
She thought for a moment and replied, "He can be cured, but not now. I need a clean and tidy place to treat him."
"It's actually good to be this silly. He's free from worries. Otherwise, I'm afraid he'll get into a fight with someone out of youthful energy. What if I can't stop him?"
Ling Cang's mouth twitched, and he finally nodded, "Okay, then just be stupid for now."
Ling Yun on the side, "..." You are really my dear brother, and you actually hope that I am stupid.
Su Nuan pursed her lips. When Ling Cang was unconscious, she was the backbone of the family. Now that Ling Cang is awake, will everyone listen to his arrangements or hers?
After much thought, Su Nuan decided to ask in person. Some things are better said openly.
She looked at Ling Cang and asked, "Now that you're awake, are you responsible for allocating supplies?"
Ling Cang was stunned and frowned, as if he was thinking about this problem seriously.
Su Nuan was a little nervous. If Ling Cang asked for the right to be the housekeeper, it would be difficult for her to smuggle things out. After all, she was in charge now, and they wouldn't know if there were more or less.
