chapter 76

Just as he mentioned the tournament, he sank into a long hesitation, and then turned to Song Qinghan, saying honestly, “Honestly, I know I am that qualified enough to attend this such a game, so I am thinking of finding a Master in Martial Club who would guide me about some special martial skills. But… The Martial Club only exist in the provincial capital!”

Song Qinghan stood there dumbfounded after hearing what Wu Dahu said. Though he did not know where the provincial capital was at all, he still could figure out that it was a place quite far away from here.

He pondered for a moment, and then asked, “Are you going alone, or?”

Wu Dahu felt a bit touched because Song Qinghan did not reject his idea at once, so he decided to gush out all ideas in his mind, saying, “Since I have made up my mind to learn some martial skills in the provincial capital, I should stay there at least till I attend the competition. In addition, the tournament is also held in that provincial capital. That is to say, if I get the game smooth, I will head to the state capital directly, and if not, I’m afraid that I should stay in that provincial capital for a period for recovering…”

Being informed by that, Song Qinghan got his nerve strained, saying while frowning, “So do you mean we will move together? Is that right?”

Wu Dahu knew exactly what Song Qinghan meant by asking that, so he just answered, “It’s just a scenario. Of course I will avoid any situation to get myself injured or something. But you know, tournament is somehow a ‘Game Without Presetting’, so I have to conceive of any possibly bad consequence in advance. In that case, I can arrange it with a further plan.”

“And you’re right. I will take both of you together to the provincial capital, we will bring the plants of the monk fruits and seasoning materials. Well, at least the business we run isn’t that limited at all, it would still be quite promising for us to run this business in the provincial capital. And probably we can make it even better there.”

Hearing that, Song Qinghan sank into a long hesitation, he was thinking about the idea of Wu Dahu seriously.

It’s truth that their business is quite adaptive no matter where they are going to boost it. And if they want a smooth trip to that place, they can also abandon the plants of monk fruits and seasonings here. Song Qinghan would never believe that there wouldn’t exist those plants in the provincial capital. Probably they were hid in the mountain there and no one ever tried to discover them.

It would definitely took times for them to make an arrange for relocating, and at that time, Little Shitou probably would had already been one month old, taking him in this trip wouldn’t be such a trouble. And Yuan Wenxuan, the loyal boy who nursed a great ambition to acquire a profound medical knowledge, would surely show no rejection to their plan of relocating. So now, it fell on Song Qinghan to decide, once he made up his mind and reached an agreement with Wu Dahu, they could commence preparing.

He looked around the yard emotionally. Although he was a bit reluctant, he wasn’t a fan of reminiscence. He would choose to adapt to the brand new environment rather than apart with Wu Dahu.

In that consideration, he answered decisively, saying, “Alright. Let’s take your plan.”

Wu Dahu had been quietly waiting for his response. And when he heard the answer from Song Qinghan at once, he knew immediately that it was a decision his husband made after a careful consideration. He smiled with an emotional combination of warmth and affection.

After all, this sort of decision was risky. If they were able to re-run their business in the provincial capital and bring their life back on track with smoothness, it would be fine. But if they failed to boost their business, while Wu Dahu failed the competition, it would definitely be a double frustration for them.

However, at least Wu Dahu had some confidence on his own martial skills, he just needed a professional guidance. He would believe that it wouldn’t be a problem for him to be the top three.

After the two finished negotiating, they told Yuan Wenxuan the news. As expected, the boy reached an agreement with them at once. As long as Song Qinghan was around, he could go wherever he liked.

Besides, when he arrived at the provincial capital, he might see some other doctors with other amazing prowess in medicine, and probably he could find someone who was able to cure his childhood playmate. Everything was possible.

The only thing that made Song Qinghan a little hesitated now was whether he should bid farewell to the family of this original body. After all, blood is thicker than water. Though emotionally he had no any tie with those three, since he possessed this body right now, it would fall to him currently to bear the filial piety.

Seeing that Song Qinghan was sinking into a dilemma, Wu Dahu took the initiative, saying, “Let’s move, I will accompany with you to bid farewell to them. Since we’ve made up our minds to leave this place, the field here we own will be a waste if no one takes over. Why don’t we send it to them as a payback for raising you up?”

Being informed by that, Song Qinghan pondered seriously for a moment, and then nodded, answering, “Fine, let’s visit them and show our gratitude.”

Well, the “gratitude” he mentioned actually didn’t mean to be grateful for raising him up, what he really meant was that he would thank them for offering the body. Wu Dahu didn’t find out the faint change of the expression on Song Qinghan’s face, he just took out the title deed and then carried Little Shitou up in his arms, preparing to head out.

Just as they reached the house of Song Shanming, the man came back from his farm work.

From afar, Song Qinghan could see a figure featuring a thin and pallid appearance with back bent, he would have considered the man a hard-working man with kindness if he hadn’t experienced those matters in those earlier days. It was such a pity that…

When Song Shanming noticed Wu Dahu and Song Qinghan, his got his expression wrinkled all of a sudden and asked in a sullen tone, saying, “What? Why are you showing here again? Don’t get your hopes up that your femina father will help you take care of your son!”

With an utter shock, Song Qinghan lowered his head to take a glance at Little Shitou, saying while frowning, “We’re here to bid farewell to my femina dad, and we’re here to deliver you the title deed. If you don’t want it, I will take it back.”

Hearing that they got something here for free, Song Shanming urged while being kind of impatient, saying, “Sure, sure, sure I want! Where’s the title deed? Give it to me now.”

Wu Dahu took out the deed from his arms, waving it in hand in the air while asking, “Where’s Han’s femina father?”

Song Shanming grabbed the title deed over and went over it up and down as if he was checking out the authenticity of the paper. The wrinkles on his face instantly relaxed and he smiled with a great satisfaction, answering impatiently, “He’s right inside. Come on in, greet and leave as soon as possible.”

With disdain, Song Qinghan walked into the yard hurriedly as if he didn’t want to see the super ugly face of the man. When he got inside and saw Su Mowei who was busy as a bee in the kitchen, he got his eyes sore and red-rimmed all of a sudden, he shouted in a sobbing tone, “Dad, I’m coming here to bid farewell to you. I’m sorry!”

He had a strong hunch that he couldn’t make quite sure when he would come back again in this village. Even worse, probably this greeting would be the last one for him and Su Mowei.

Su Mowei seemed to be stunned all of a sudden. He turned around and found that he didn’t get an auditory hallucination, so he quickly put down everything in his hand, wiped his hands, and pulled Song Qinghan’s hand while staring at him up and down, and then said with his eyes redened, saying, “Have you already given birth? Buddha is alway with you! I had dreamed of you one time that something bad happened to you, and I was intending to visit. But you know I have been busy all the time. Since I can see you and confirm that you’re all fine.”

He looked at the baby child in Wu Dahu’s chest, with his complexion becoming more amiable, and then reached out to hold the baby over while saying gently, “Here you, my baby grandchild, look at you, you pretty little pumpkin. Ah, do you see? He’s smiling at me.”

Little Shitou giggled when he was staring at Su Mowei, waving his tiny arms and legs randomly. He seemed to be quite cheerful right away.

Song Qinghan exclaimed, saying, “He recognized his grandpa, and he is biding farewell to you right now.”

“Biding farewell? What do you mean?”

Su Mowei repeated, as if he was informed by that the first time, and then asked in a concerned tone, saying, “Where are you going? I heard that it’s not peaceful outside our village.”

Song Shanming sneered and then said indifferently, “What? Do you expect them to go far away? I would say they can’t leave within this town based on what they’ve got. They’re not able to go somewhere big.”

Song Qinghan didn’t even take a look at Song Shanming, he just patted Su Mowei on the back, consoling, “It’s fine, dad. We’re heading to the provincial capital, and don’t worry, we will choose the main road to there. It’s quite safe.”

“Provincial capital?!” A voice came behind them.

The one who spoke was Song Yaoguang. He walked out with a face of surprise, while saying happily, “Then I can stay with you when I am ready to attend the imperial examination in the provincial capital! Or can I go with you now? I heard that scholar there are born with intelligence, is that so?!! Then I must meet them and take a chance to communicate with them!”

Song Shanming nodded, saying, “Yes, yes, just follow them to the capital, you just study hard, and your femina brother will take care of you in daily stuff.”

Seeing that he was really ready to pack up his luggage, Song Qinghan’s face got sullen all of a sudden and he said coldly, “What? What do you mean taking care of him in daily stuff? What the…?”

“How can you say something like that? If I pass the examination, you are honored too. At least you will be able to enjoy the fame instead of suffering from the stigma. Right?” roared Song Yaoguang.

Song Qinghan said calmly, “Your future honor is your own business. I‘m not going to bask in the light of your so-called success. Moreover, I’m not living with a stigma currently.”

What a joke! How could Song Yaoguang flatter himself like that? As far as Song Qinghan knew, Song Yaoguang didn’t even pass the examination held by the county. Well, he was just fastidious but incompetent.

If they really allowed him to stay with them, it would really bother them if he just messed things around while being lazy. They didn’t intend to accept another “Older Son” since their son was just born.

Noticing the decisive look of Song Qinghan, Song Yaoguang stamped his feet angrily, roaring, “You’ll see, you pauper! If you get kicked out from your current family once again, I will never show you a good attitude!”

After that, he turned back to his room and then slammed the door heavily in a huff.

Seeing this, Song Shanming glared at Song Qinghan, brawling, “You little heartless bastard! That is your biological brother! How can you be so indifferent? If he fails his examination, you will be the culprit of it and you should be penitent and guilty to our ancestors!”

Song Qinghan laughed out of his anger while raising his eyebrows and saying, “He should be the one who will be guilty to the ancestors, and you’re the next. We’re not in the same family anymore since I got married, I bear no responsibility to bring your so-called honor to YOUR so-called ancestors!”

Right at this moment, Song Qinghan was quite excited with this kind of feudal thought. Looking at Song Shanming who was now being speechless for the insult, he felt extremely relieved.

But time shouldn’t be wasted arguing with meaningless guys, and he worried that if he kept bickering with his vicious father, he probably would physically fight with him in the end. In that consideration, he totally ignored Song Shangming and then pulled Su Mowei to the other side, tucking a piece of silver draft in his hands secretly.

Though Su Mowei was shocked, he kept his calmness and didn’t show any astonishment on his face. What he wanted to do was gave the draft back to Song Qinghan.

Song Qinghan took a step back, whispering, “Take it! But don’t let them know. Just hide it up in somewhere in case you’re going to use it one day!”

After that, he reached out to hold Little Shitou in his arms, smiling to Su Mowei and saying slowly, “Dad, we’re leaving now, take care of yourself.”

He walked resolutely without even looking back. Su Mowei had to hold the silver draft tightly in his arms and quickly followed far behind.

Looking at the backs of the Song Qinghan and Wu Dahu, he wiped the tears off from his eyes, while secretly praying to the Buddha in his mind and wishing three of them would be safe and healthy.

In the yard side, Song Shanming slammed the door mercilessly, blocking the sight of Su Mowei while saying impatiently, “What the heck are you looking at? Don’t cry for that bastard! He just left leaving only a title deed, what now? Is that the way he shows his filial affection? We raised him up getting through all the hardships, we fed him well till he finally grown up with a delicate appearance. I bet that he is the most beautiful femina male within villages and even the town, that is our contribution! Now you see? He is just a heartless one who forgot his original family. I’m bitterly disappointed right now.”

Su Mowei listened quietly and unconsciously put his hand on his chest. Right in his hands hid the silver draft Song Qinghan just gave him. If it was before, he probably would take out this silver draft and shared it to Song Shanming showing that his femina son wasn’t that evil. But since Song Shanming described Song Qinghan with almost all bad words he could conceive, he decide not to share the secret, and just planned to hide this up somewhere for the future use.
