There are two ways for people at the border to kill sheep and eat its meat.
One is to peel off the whole sheepskin and only eat the meat inside while the sheepskin is used for other purposes. The other is to shave the sheep and eat the sheepskin and meat together.
Everyone usually chooses the former way, after all, sheepskin is useful.
But now they lack meat, they choose the latter option. After the sheep’s fur was shaved, the sheepskin and mutton were stew in one pot.
The mutton will be ready soon. The sheep’s liver and heart are also stew, but some other internal organs need to be processed again. The sheep’s heads and feet skin also needed to peel off, then it was put in the pot to cook.
These scraps, everyone decided to use another pot to cook. They will stew it a little longer and save it for dinner.
The wild sheep has an unpleasant odor. Though many people are not used to eating it, they don’t mind it either.
It’s just……they’re a little anxious.
When will the meat be ready?
Everyone looked eagerly at the mutton in the pot. Only Su Moxiu was completely unaffected by his belly hunger.
He quickly applied the medicine on Yan Jingze, then helped Yan Jingze get dressed.
“Second young master, he is sick? This body is too weak!” Zhang Erque saw that the meat won’t be ready anytime soon so he came to Su Moxiu’s side to talk to Su Moxiu.
“He’s not weak, he’s injured.” Su Moxiu gave Zhang Erque a dissatisfied look.
“My body is good, even if I am injured, I am still alive and kicking! That’s right, what is your name, little white face?” Zhang Erque looked at Yan Jingze.
“His name is Yan Jingze.” Su Moxiu answered.
“That’s right, Yan Jingze! Yan Jingze, you can follow me to train later. Just practice more and I guarantee you won’t be so weak in the future!”
Yan Jingze: “…” his body is not weak at all, and there’s no lack of training. What he needs now is rest, eat well, and sleep well.
Su Moxiu also said: “Zhang Erque, he needs to rest!”
Zhang Erque disagreed: “Then rest and train…Boy, you have a good figure. If you train well, you may even be able to kill the Rong on the battlefield!”
“I don’t need to train. When my injury is healed, I can go to the battlefield to kill the Rong.” Yan Jingze glanced at Zhang Erque, who opened and closed his mouth as if wanting to say he was lying.
When he gets better, in addition to killing the Rong, he also intends to ‘instruct’ Zhang Erque on martial arts.
As someone who has traveled through countless small worlds, he’s better than the original owner. He must make Zhang Erque feel that he didn’t lie.
“Haha! How easy is it to enter the battlefield? You look so weak, don’t be scared to pee by the Rong.”
Yan Jingze: “…That won’t happen.”
“How could it not happen? Those who go to war for the first time, many were scared to tears and urinate! Only people like general Zhou can kill the Rong without fear on his first battle.” When Zhang Erque mentioned Zhou Jingshan, his face was full of longing. Thinking of how he doesn’t even know if Zhou Jingshan was dead or alive, he felt depressed again.
Yan Jingze: “…” That’s not right! From what he saw in the original owner’s memories…At that time, the original owner had the Zhou family’s guards take him to fight those lower rank Rong people first. Once he got used to it, it was only then that in public, he ‘joined the battle’ with the Zhenbei Army soldiers, beheading the Rong people and establishing his prestige.
But even so, at that time, the original owner was still a little too young to adapt. After he went back, he didn’t eat meat for a whole month.
“General Zhou was brave and courageous in battle. He is a rare true warrior in the world, so of course, no ordinary person can compare!” Cai An came over with a bowl of medicine, saying excitedly. The vertical lines between his eyebrows have faded a lot: “In my life, the person I admire the most is General Zhou!”
Yan Jingze can feel it. They really revere Zhou Jingshan.
That means he can fully reveal his identity and let these people help him.
And, these people may have come for him.
It’s just……how could there’s no such people in the original owner’s memory? That Cai An seems a little familiar but he can’t remember who he is.
These people seem to be brave and good people who have been on the battlefield, so there’s no reason for the original owner to know nothing about such people under his commands.
Yan Jingze asked: “Are you the Zhenbei Army soldiers?”
Cai An’s brows furrowed again. The vertical lines between his eyebrows are particularly deep as his sharp gaze fell on Yan Jingze’s face.
They may have exposed the fact that they were actually Han before but they have never revealed that they were the Zhenbei Army.
Yan Jingze, a man of unknown origin, knew their identities, he wasn’t sure if he would be a threat to them…
“We are indeed the Zhenbei Army soldiers.” Su Moxiu directly admitted and looked lovingly at Yan Jingze, “So don’t worry. I can protect you and won’t let you get hurt again!”
Zhang Erque and Cai An felt something was wrong again.
Especially Cai An. He suddenly seemed to realize something and looked at Su Moxiu.
Although he was boiling the medicine just now, because he knew that Yan Jingze was seriously injured, so somewhat worried, he would glance at Su Moxiu and Yan Jingze from time to time.
Therefore, he saw that his family’s second young master applied the medicine on Yan Jingze very gently, then helped him put on his clothes.
Thinking about some things from before…
This…this…
Cai An is still shocked when Zhang Erque says: “That’s right, we are the Zhenbei Army! Yan Jingze, let me tell you. I have seen General Zhou go to battle with my own eyes. He is really awesome! A hundred of you won’t be able to beat him!”
Yan Jingze: “…” haha, it’s time to tell this duo that he is Zhou Jingshan!
“Uncle Zhou is very powerful,” Su Moxiu said, “he’s the man I admire the most!”
Wait a minute…uncle?
Yan Jingze froze.
What did he hear? Su Moxiu actually…called Zhou Jingshan uncle?
“Are you General Zhou’s nephew?” Yan Jingze asked. The original owner doesn’t have this old nephew in his memories, ah!
Most men will want to show off in front of the person they like, Su Moxiu said: “My father is Su Xingyin, he is General Zhou’s sworn brother!”
They will go back in a few days. After going back, Yan Jingze will definitely know his identity. That being so, there’s no need to hide it now.
He even wanted to tell Yan Jingze that he was also a juren and his martial arts is also good…forget it, be patient. He will tell him next time.
Yan Jingze: “…” Su Xingyin is 44 this year, a round older than him1, but his relationship with the original owner is very good. The original owner had also met Su Xingyin’s children.
Yan Jingze thought about it carefully. From the original owner’s memories, he found what the original owner had seen many years ago. Su Xingyin’s second son seems to match with Su Moxiu.
This is embarrassing.
He doesn’t mind being an old cow eating tender grass but Su Moxiu has no memory of the past. He would definitely be uncomfortable facing his ‘uncle’.
This is an ancient world that is not really open-minded. What if Su Moxiu felt apologetic for him and ran away?
Yan Jingze was a little worried but he didn’t show it on his face. He smiled at Su Moxiu: “So you are General Su’s son! General Su killed many Rong, and I have always admired him!”
Su Moxiu’s breathing became rapid again: “My name is Su Moxiu, you can call me Moxiu.”
Yan Jingze added: “It’s a nice name…Moxiu, I know my question may be a bit presumptuous but I still want to ask, why did you come to Mount Qiong disguised as the Rong?”
Su Moxiu looked away, breathing calmly and whispered: “Someone killed General Zhou, we are here to find evidence.”
“Second young master…” Cai An called out, somewhat disapproving.
Su Moxiu glanced at Cai An, he then said to Yan Jingze: “We will go back to Qiongnan City in two days. By then, you will be able to recuperate properly.”
Su Moxiu knew why Cai An would disagree, he must be worried that Yan Jingze is a spy or something.
But even if Yan Jingze is a Rong spy…Since the Rong was involved with Zhou Jingshan disappearance, it doesn’t matter even if he said it.
As for Yan Jingze might be a threat to them…Yan Jingze was injured like this. He’s so weak, it’s impossible for him to hurt them at all.
These people think ‘Zhou Jingshan’ is dead? Yan Jingze asked: “General Zhou was killed?”
“You don’t have to worry about this, just rest well.” Su Moxiu couldn’t help touching Yan Jingze’s head.
He was touched…Yan Jingze smiled at Su Moxiu again, the corner of his eyes were full of love, “I’ll listen to you, I’ll rest well.”
Su Moxiu said: “You take the medicine first, then rest for a while. When the mutton soup is ready, I’ll call you.”
“Come and talk with me.” Said Yan Jingze.
“Okay.” Su Moxiu was reluctant to reject Yan Jingze so he naturally promised everything.
The two sat together like this, drinking medicine and talking.
Cai An’s expression became more and more solemn, but Su Moxiu only cared about Yan Jingze so he didn’t notice him.
Cai An thought about it for a bit, then motioned for Zhang Erque to talk with him outside.
After Zhang Erque had a few words with Yan Jingze, he went to stare at the pot of mutton again. He didn’t notice Cai An’s gesture at all.
Cai An glared at him, then just reached out to grab the back of his neck.
Zhang Erque jumped up suddenly: “So cold!”
Cai An looked at Zhang Erque’s eyes and said fiercely: “You go outside with me to pick up some firewood.”
There was obviously enough firewood to use…Zhang Erque about to say this when he suddenly realized something, so he obediently followed Cai An out the door.
“Old Cai, is there something you can’t say to me in the room?” Zhang Erque went outside, put on his pointed hat at once and shrinked his neck.
“Second young master…I’m afraid he takes a fancy to that Yan Jingze!” Cai An said.
“Ah?” Zhang Erque couldn’t respond.
Cai An talked about what he observed: “Second young master treated Yan Jingze special. He applied medicine to him and even took good care of him, he must have taken a fancy to him.”
“How can that be, that’s a man!” Zhang Erque was stunned.
“Second young master is already 22 but he has never had a woman by his side, he……” Cai An glanced at the house where they lived, “Think about it. If you proposed to sleep next to second young master last night, would second young master agree? But when Yan Jingze ask, second young master agreed.”
Although Su Moxiu has no air around him, he also eat and live with them, but in the end, his environment since childhood was different from them and their identities were also very different, so there’s always a layer between them.
Don’t talk about anything else, when they feel cold and hugged each other for warmth, Su Moxiu would never join in.
But Su Moxiu and Yan Jingze were…
Zhang Erque said: “I got up last night to go to the thatch hut2, I saw them next to each other, face to face…Unexpectedly, second young master likes men! If general Su knew about this, general Su would definitely be very angry!”
Zhang Erque’s expression was tangled, Cai An sighed: “General Su knowing about it is something in the future…I now fear that second young master will plunge into it and in the end suffer losses.”
Zhang Erque said: “What will second young master suffer from?” If anyone is going to suffer losses, it’s Yan Jingze that will suffer losses!
Cai An glared at Zhang Erque in disgust: “Second young master is still young and hasn’t experienced anything, what should he do if he gets tricked into having intercourse with him to cheat his wealth? That Yan Jingze origin is unknown!”
“Then I’ll drive that Yan Jingze away?” Zhang Erque asked again.
“No. That Yan Jingze was seriously injured and also got a fever. If he was driven away, he might really die!” Cai An said. It wasn’t known why, he just didn’t want to hurt Yan Jingze.
“Then what do you want me to do?” Zhang Erque asked.
“Let’s remind second young master more and keep him away from him!” Cai An said, “That Yan Jingze is trying to survive by seducing second young master, he is definitely not sincere toward second young master.”
Zhang Erque listened, then thought of some of the fools under him who had been deceived into losing all their family fortune.
No, he can’t let second young master be deceived!
The two discussed for a long time before going back, then they saw Su Moxiu looking at Yan Jingze gently.
This Yan Jingze is a big man, a day later and his stubble appeared again. Why did second young master take a fancy to him? Zhang Erque was really confused. At this moment, someone shouted: “The mutton is ready!”
Zhang Erque has no time to be confused and so does Cai An. They all surrounded it immediately.
Eat first before talking!
