NOVEL NEXT Chapter 53 - Three Brothers
Xia Chu took out the jade muscle cream from the package and walked to the bedside inside the screen.
“Master, it’s time for the medicine.” Xia Chu shook the bottle in his hand and raised his eyebrows to look at him.
The man struggled to lean up, but Xia Chu stretched out his hand to support him.
“What’s your name, I can’t always call you a master in the future.” Xia Chu asked while giving him medicine.
The man shook his head.
“Don’t have a name or don’t want to say it?”
The man’s eyes darkened, and when he raised his head again, he pointed to Xia Chu and then to himself.
“Do you want me to get it for you?” Xia Chu guessed what he meant.
The man nodded.
Xia Chu thought for a while.
“Raven. From now on, I’ll call you Raven.”
The man tilted his head, slightly puzzled.
“The raven is a black bird. It eats corpses and crosses people.” Xia Chu stopped the medicine and looked at him and said, “You are the scorched crow in the sea of fire, and I am here to cross you. people.”
The man nodded, and wrote the word ‘raven’ on the bed with his fingers.
“Yes, Raven.”
Xia Chu smiled, picked up the jade muscle paste and continued to apply the medicine.
After finishing the medicine, Xia Chu helped him to lie down again. Carrying the fish in the bucket in the house, ready to go to the kitchen to make soup.
In the past few days in the early summer, I found a good way to practice flying acupuncture.
Every night he goes to the river in Houshan and uses silver needles to pierce… fish.
Ok. Fishing, killing two birds with one stone, is very convenient.
At first, it was quite troublesome because of the problem of vision and the depth of snorkeling.
Later, slowly, he could hit every needle. Now, he can even pinpoint the acupuncture points with a little pressure. Occasionally, you can also accurately dizzy a few.
He picked up the dead fish and grilled them on the spot. The dizzy fish can also be brought back and thrown in the bucket, and made for the ravens to eat the next day.
Raven’s current scald, some meals can go a long way in healing his wounds. In the morning, milk and eggs are prepared for him. At noon, it is usually beef and braised fish. In the evening, a fish soup is made.
As soon as Xia Chu came out of the tent with a wooden barrel, he bumped into Shan Xiangpeng, Yan Jianghong, and Deng Qizhong.
The water in the wooden barrel splashed out, and the two black fish inside were frightened and swam back and forth.
“Doctor Yi, are you okay?” Shan Xiangpeng hurriedly asked.
Xia Chu patted the water stains on his robe, raised his eyes and asked, “Are you sick?”
“No, no.” The three of them waved their hands.
“Aren’t you sick to see a doctor?”
“No, we just brought Deng Qizhong to thank you in person.” Shan Xiangpeng pushed Deng Qizhong after finishing speaking.
“That, Doctor Yi. Thank you for saving your life.” Deng Qizhong bowed deeply.
Xia Chu waved his hand and said indifferently: “The duty is, don’t worry.”
“To be hung, there is no doctor in Yi, Qizhong should be buried now.” Yan Jianghong said beside him.
When the three heard the words, the corners of their mouths twitched.
As soon as Xia Chu heard him speak, he guessed that he was a typical old man in the military. On the other hand, Shan Xiangpeng and Deng Qizhong are not like the ruffians in the army, and they have a slightly bookish air.
Yan Jianghong looked at the three of them with strange expressions, and looked blank and didn’t know where he was wrong.
Shan Xiangpeng smiled awkwardly, changed the subject and asked, “What is Doctor Yi going for?”
“Go to the kitchen to make soup.”
Yan Jianghong once mentioned wooden barrels.
“I’ll help the doctor get it.” He left without giving Xia Chu a chance to refuse…
Xia Chu’s hand was still in the same position as when Yan Jianghong snatched the barrel. He looked at Yan Jianghong’s back, and then looked at Shan Xiangpeng and Deng Qizhong who were apologetic. Sighing, he lifted his heels up.
When the three of them arrived at the kitchen, Yan Jianghong was competing with a fish…
Xia Chu squeezed his eyebrows, took the knife in his hand, and said, “I’ll come.”
In the early summer, I put the fish on the chopping board, slapped it evenly with a knife a few times, and then used a spoon to scrape the scales from the tail to the head of the fish. After a while, all the scales were easily scraped off.
Xia Chu looked up and saw that the three of them hadn’t left yet. They all stared at him in astonishment, and couldn’t help asking, “Do you have anything else to do?”
“We want to help,” Shan Xiangpeng said.
Xia Chu recalled how Yan Jianghong had scratched the fish scales just now, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
“No need…”
“Is it better to use it?” Deng Qizhong couldn’t help but say something.
Xia Chu sighed and asked, “Have you eaten?”
All three shook their heads.
Xia Chu felt that he was really superfluous to ask this question. After propping his forehead with the back of his hand, he said, “You guys go outside and wait.”
Seeing that Xia Chu finally did not drive them away, the three retreated outside the door.
Xia Chu skillfully scraped off the scales and gills of the two fish, chopped off the fish head, put it away from the stomach, took out all the internal organs and washed it several times. Then take one to braised and one to make soup.
The three of them watched Xia Chu’s skillful technique outside the house, and felt that if Doctor Yi scratched the scales of a fish, it would be as beautiful as a living picture scroll.
After an hour, the fragrant and delicious smell spread around, lingering on the nose, mouth-watering, and the men in the kitchen couldn’t help but come to ask Xia Chu’s practice. The three people outside were so anxious that they didn’t dare to rush over.
At the beginning of Xia, the braised fish and fish soup were packed separately. Not knowing the appetite of the three of them, he called Shan Xiangpeng to come in to serve the meal. When it was put into the food box, Yan Jianghong rushed to pick it up, and Xia Chu was happy and relaxed. At first glance, Yan Jianghong was the one doing the physical work among the three of them.
“What is Yan Jianghong doing in the army?” Xia Chu asked Shan Xiangpeng as he walked.
“Jiang Hong is the instructor in charge of riding and archery. Don’t look at him like that. He is a good archer with a bow.” Shan Xiangpeng said with a smile.
“Where’s Deng Qizhong?” Xia Chu looked at Deng Qizhong.
“He is good at arranging troops, so he often patrols the mountains and checks the formation. Now, he is a colonel in the army.” After Shan Xiangpeng finished speaking, Deng Qizhong smiled humbly at Xia Chu.
“What about you?” Xia Chu looked back at Shan Xiangpeng again.
“Xiang Peng is good at tricks. Now, it’s General Zhao’s staff.” Deng Qizhong replied.
Gee. I really don’t know if I don’t ask, it’s all talents when I ask.
As soon as he spoke, he arrived at the tent where he lived, Xia Chu went in first, and the three of them followed.
At the beginning of the summer, the meals were laid out, and a bowl of fish soup was filled with some fish maw. They let them do their own thing, got up and brought it to the raven.
Although he has gotten better in the past two days, he still has no energy, so he still needs to be fed. Xia Chu helped him up and fed him mouth by mouth with a spoon.
Yan Jianghong got up and came over and asked, “Doctor Yi want to help?”
Xia Chu saw a flicker of cold light in Raven’s eyes, so he hurriedly stopped Yan Jianghong and shouted, “Don’t come here.”
Yan Jianghong was stunned and froze in place.
“There’s a burn patient inside, so it’s not convenient to see people. You don’t want to come in.” Xia Chu saw him stop, and his tone softened.
“Sorry for being abrupt.” Shan Xiangpeng glared at Yan Jianghong after he finished speaking.
Yan Jiang Hong aggrieved and returned to the table.
Xia Chu finished feeding the fish soup and asked him again: “I cooked the braised fish, do you want to eat some?”
Raven nodded.
At the beginning of Xia, he came out again and filled some rice, poured some soup, and went back with some fish maw. After feeding him again, he helped him lie down before he came out.
“Didn’t I let you eat first?” Xia Chu asked.
“I should still wait for you.” Shan Xiangpeng said.
“I don’t have so many rules, and I won’t have to be so polite in the future.”
“In the future? Then we can come often in the future.” Yan Jianghong accurately grasped the point.
Xia Chu twitched the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, “Hurry up and eat…”
Although it was a little cold, it was fresh and tender, juicy and delicious. The three of them were amazed after tasting it. It was rare in the army to eat these, especially such delicious fish.
The three of them devoured their food, they were really greedy for a long time, and they couldn’t take it anymore…
After the wind was blowing, they realized that the half bowl of rice at the beginning of Xia hadn’t been eaten yet.
The faces of the three were all red.
“It’s really delicious.” Shan Xiangpeng said with a red face.
“It doesn’t matter, I don’t need to be restrained.” Xia Chu really didn’t care, anyway, he was going to the river to eat grilled fish at night.
The three nodded embarrassedly.
“Then… you put the tableware and chopsticks away and take them to the kitchen. It’s time for me to give medicine to the patients inside.”
The three hurriedly got up and packed up.
“It’s really bothering Doctor Yi.”
“It’s okay, don’t send it.”
The three of them walked out of the tent with food boxes, Yan Jianghong muttered as he walked, “The patient inside is so happy, he can eat such delicious food every day! You said that if I was maimed and sent in, wouldn’t it? You can eat it every day…”
A sneer came from the wind.
“I see that you are disabled, you don’t need to beat your legs again…”
