491 Future Thanks!
Since they didn’t say no, Xue Dagui took it as a yes and chuckled even more. Then, he scooped another spoonful of watermelon and stuffed it into his mouth.
Xue Sifu couldn’t be bothered with his uncle anymore and said to Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, “Let’s go inside. We’ve had dinner, but that man hasn’t.”
“Okay.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan agreed and entered Shao Shuting’s room with Sifu.
He saw Shao Shuting lying on the brick bed, holding a handkerchief in one hand and a sword in the other. He was slowly and carefully wiping. The weapon was placed to the side, and the blade was emitting a cold light.
Shao Shuting’s expression looked a little terrifying when he wiped it.
Xue Sifu suddenly thought of something and his expression changed, but he quickly hid his expression and put on a smile.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were much shorter than Xue Sifu, and Xue Sifu was walking behind them, so they naturally didn’t notice the change in Sifu’s expression.
They could still see from the outside that an oil lamp was already lit in the room. Mugwort sticks were still burning beside the general to repel mosquitoes. Jiang Yue and the others did not need to guess to know that Xue Dagui had come in to help him.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both looked at the long strips of mugwort that were still burning.
Shao Shuting saw them looking at the mugwort strip, so he put his sword back into the sheath and smiled. “Your uncle… Ahem, he’s an interesting person.”
It was obvious that he had heard the entire conversation outside.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t say anything about this. It was hard for him to find such a word to describe Xue Dagui, but Jiang Yue said, “This is my brother, Sifu.”
Shao Shuting immediately cupped his hands to Xue Sifu and smiled, “It’s an honor to meet you.”
No matter what, Xue Sifu had been a waiter in town for three years, so he knew that this person was just being polite. Moreover, from the way he shaked his hand, one could tell that he was a martial arts expert. Xue Sifu’s smile widened, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “I’m so sorry for being late with dinner.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were quite familiar with Sifu’s smile, so they realized that there was something wrong with the way he acted.
They couldn’t help but look at each other.
Shao Shuting didn’t see anything wrong with Xue Sifu’s smile and felt that he was very warm. He put his sword aside and smiled, “I should be the one feeling sorry. You saved me, but you still have to take care of me and send me food. I’ll definitely have to thank you in the future.”
He seemed to have placed the sword casually by the side, but it was a position that could be obtained at any time.
“There’s no need to thank me. Anyone would do the same.” As Xue Sifu laughed, he gave the sword an imperceptible glance. He took out the food from the basket and placed it on the stool. There was also a small plate of watermelon.
It was seedless.
Shao Shuting wasn’t surprised to see the seedless watermelon. He smiled and said, “When Xue Dagui came in to help me light up the lamp and mugwort just now, he said that he was selling seedless watermelons today and that they were especially sweet. I didn’t expect to taste them so soon. Thank you.”
It was obvious that he was not surprised, but just more so impressed.
There was an injury on his waist. If he got up a little higher, blood would ooze out. Shao Shuting was afraid of taking medicine. He didn’t really want to die, so he naturally wouldn’t torture himself. Instead, he leaned a little to the side and just held his chopsticks, eating the food bit by bit.
Not only was Shao Shuting a great general, but he was also a descendant of a famous family. His behavior was quite refined, and he ate at a steady pace.
