The main problem is this stubborn little wolf cub who won't leave, which is giving her a headache. These people are all professionals who have come from the battlefield. They can find something wrong even from the slightest clue. Should she tell or not?
The main problem is that she can't really say anything about this.
She said it wasn't raised by her, but it kept coming home with her and would occasionally bring her meat and game. Oh, the first time it brought her treasure.
To say that she raised them is definitely not true; it's pure fabrication, and she wouldn't have the guts to do so anyway.
While they weren't back yet, I took out some dog food, low-sodium sausages, and milk, fed them until they were full, and then coaxed and persuaded them to leave.
Let's be cautious.
A moment later, the two children came running back, their faces beaming with joy. Cheng Rui even slipped and fell as soon as he entered the gate, but he didn't seem to care. He got up and shouted,
"Sister, Fifth Brother is awake, he's awake."
He glanced briefly at Cheng An, who was a step behind. Although he was also excited, he was much calmer.
"Yes, it's true, sis. When we arrived, Uncle Mu was giving Little Fifth Brother acupuncture. He woke up in no time. Uncle Yang also checked him out. He's fine now that he's awake."
"That's alright,"
Jian Dan breathed a sigh of relief; finally, there was some good news.
"That's good, that's good. You can all rest assured now."
Lin Zhengde, along with Lao Yang and Cheng Chao, returned quickly. Lao Yang was still muttering to them...
"I only have a rough understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, but I have to admit that Lao Mu's medical skills are really good. I saw the wound, and even if I were here, without the medicine, it would be useless."
And the bones were set perfectly.
However, with these injuries, it's really not suitable to move around a lot. What do you think we should do?
However, he's physically weak, and he's lost quite a bit of blood this time. It would be best if he could eat something good to replenish his strength, like brown sugar and dates; that would be ideal if available.
This could be considered a doctor's order, and Lin Zhengde hummed and hawed in agreement, indicating that he understood.
Cheng Chao spoke while thinking.
“I heard from Xiao Rui that the village chief has been visiting Xiao Wu every day for the past few days. I guess he might come looking for him later, knowing that his superior is coming.”
"Uncle Lin, Uncle Yang, Brother, you're back!"
Come inside, it's time to eat.
I'm going to deliver food to Brother Wu first, I'll be right back.
As he spoke, he slipped under Cheng Chao's arm, carrying the basket, and jogged towards the village.
"Delivering food? I just thought of that. It's already prepared?"
Old Yang was somewhat surprised.
"Your sister is so thoughtful!"
Jian Dan, who had just pushed open the door, felt a little embarrassed and coughed lightly.
"Well, it's true that she's thoughtful, but you've really praised the wrong person. I'm careless and never thought of it. It was something the child had been thinking about and arranged as soon as she got back."
By the way, are there any dietary restrictions? The three of us don't really know; we just made it because we thought it was nutritious.
A table was set up inside, and the aroma wafted into his nose. Old Yang couldn't take his eyes off it, and waved his hand haphazardly.
"It's okay, it's not spicy, just don't give me alcohol."
At that time, there were only a few things that were generally considered nutritious: eggs, millet, brown sugar, red dates, malted milk powder, and meat, which everyone looked up to.
Old Yang didn't think much of it, assuming it was just millet porridge with brown sugar or something, when he heard Cheng An pat his chest and...
"Sis, are you relieved now? The meat and steamed egg custard are both safe to eat."
Even simple things deserve a clap of hands.
"Don't worry, don't worry. As long as you know what's going on, I won't interfere anymore. You two are responsible for this yourselves."
"Okay, sister, don't worry. We'll make sure Brother Wu is fed properly."
There's no time today, so we'll boil those big bones tonight and he can have bone broth tomorrow.
Old Yang had just washed his face with Cheng Chao's basin of water when he heard this, and paused for a moment before softly asking Lin Zhengde beside him.
"What does this mean? Meat, steamed egg custard, and bone broth—are these their patient meals?"
Lin Zhengde stared wide-eyed at his boss, but the sound he made was barely audible.
"How the hell was I supposed to know? My niece is really not stingy at all!"
The Lin family also has some wealth, but after so many years here, he has gotten used to the austerity of the place. In addition, given the situation in recent years, it's not like you can buy whatever you want just because you have money. He now lives at almost the same standard as the soldiers, at most earning a little more and having a few more tickets.
Compared to him, he became even more jealous of Cheng Jin.
“Look at Old Cheng’s niece, every time she goes there she gets wild boar or grain, but when we come she gets meat.”
And look at my unfilial son; for years, I haven't eaten a single bite of his food.
What a coincidence! The Lin family's unfilial son had just opened the door and happened to hear the whole sentence, making him want to roll his eyes.
He thought to himself, how many people can be as simple as this?
"Sir, if you want to discipline me next time, you can do it in front of me. No matter how much you say here, I won't hear it."
Lin Zhengde blushed; wasn't this embarrassing?
He tried hard to keep a straight face, his eyes scanning around.
"Hey? What are you holding? Did you bring me food?"
Lin Dongfang remained silent, then lifted the basket in his hand inside, which contained two square bundles.
He took out the larger one and handed it directly to Lin Zhengde.
"It's food. This is a pancake that Mingzhu learned to make from the villagers. They say it's a local specialty. It's made with that griddle. You should try it. It tastes pretty good, and it's also very convenient to take with you when you go out."
The smaller portion was handed directly to Jian Dan.
