Home/ The General Is As Urgent as Law/ Chapter 5
As for the specific way, Wei Lin kept his mouth shut, and Jiang Ye followed him all the way, and only saw a few figures vaguely at sunset. Finally, before the sun completely went down, the two of them arrived at the post house that Wei Lin had mentioned.
The wooden signboard of the post house has been cracked, and it looks like it has been around for many years.
“Yanzhou Posthouse, is this already the boundary of Yanzhou?” Jiang also asked.
“Let’s take it for granted, but it’s still a long way from here to the main city of Yanzhou.”
The two of them just stood at the door of the post house looking up at the signboard and talking. The people in the post house saw it and came out and chased them away: “What are you beggars doing here, go, get lost, don’t block the door!”
Jiang Ye has never been insulted like this before, but now he is completely treated as a beggar, he was really angry. But if he said that they pretended to be beggars, no one would believe it, let alone believing that he is a young master of a rich merchant family.
There was no other way, so Jiang Ye had no choice but to stay silent, but Wei Lin, who was very used to it, chatted with the people in the post house: “Don’t you remember me, I ordered a table of food at your post house this morning.”
“Who knows you, get lost quickly, don’t block the door!”
Wei Lin had no choice but to drag Jiang Ye aside.
Along the way, without the fox fur, Jiang Ye’s hands were cold and his feet were numb. Wei Lin took him aside and whispered to him: “Bear it for a bit, I’ll go and beg later, don’t worry, you won’t lose face.”
“I’m fine.”
It took Jiang Ye a long time to squeeze out this sentence.
Only then did Wei Lin feel relieved. Under the eaves on the side of the post house, he found a place that could keep out the wind, and let Jiang Ye stand there, while he squatted on the ground, touched the dirt with one hand, and then wiped it on his face indiscriminately. The clothes were so dirty that he himself disliked it. Then Wei Lin walked to the side, sat down on the ground, and started howling.
“Give some… Is there any kind-hearted person to give a little…”
After wailing for a while, two figures approached not far away. Wei Lin immediately crawled forward excitedly—it was right to say that he was climbing. Jiang Ye also saw that his legs seemed to be broken, he leaned on his hands, and moving his body forward seemed to be a laborious task.
Jiang Ye also wanted to stop him, but he seemed to have exhausted all his strength even standing against the wall, and seemed to be tired of breathing, so he really didn’t have the energy to speak. Although now is not the time to take care of face, Wei Lin’s appearance can easily ignite anger in his eyes, making him want to kick Wei Lin’s feet very much.
He saw Wei Lin moving to the side of the road, and the two figures got closer and closer. Seeing Wei Lin begging on the side of the road, their pace slowed down.
Seeing this opportunity, Wei Lin immediately went up and hugged one of them’s feet, crying loudly: “Good-hearted people! Help me! Give me some money!”
He howled and cried and the two actually started laughing.
“Isn’t this the man in the morning?”
“Yes, he is the one who gave me a tael of silver.”
“Why are you begging now, hahaha.”
When Wei Lin heard this, he immediately looked up, but he didn’t expect it to be the two beggars in the morning. Wei Lin jumped up in anger, pointed at the nose of one of them and cursed: “You lied to me by pretending to be a beggar in the morning? You shameless bastards! Give me back the money!”
“Haha, you’re still pretending to be disabled, but we don’t have any money, so we won’t give you any.”
“You may not believe it when I say it,” Wei Lin changed his finger to a fist, grabbed the man’s clothes with the other hand, and pointed his fist at him, “If I punch you, you may die.”
The man was not afraid, slapped Wei Lin’s hand away, and made a face at him: “I won’t give you money, I won’t give you money!” After speaking, he dragged the person next to him and ran away.
“Ah! I’m so mad! That bastard!”
Jiang Ye couldn’t stand Wei Lin’s frustration, so he walked over and grabbed his sleeve, “Don’t worry…” Wei Lin looked back at Jiang Ye, his face was pale, the wound on his forehead had already scabbed. The black patch looked particularly painful. Jiang Ye went on to say, “Forget it, you look so ugly like this…” Before he finished speaking, Jiang Ye’s eyes suddenly went black and he passed out.
Wei Lin was terrified at this moment. He quickly caught Jiang Ye and reached out to touch Jiang Ye’s forehead. Jiang Ye didn’t know when he started to have a fever, and his forehead was terribly hot.
“My God, he is too fragile!” Wei Lin’s tone was disdainful. At the same time, he spent a little time carrying Jiang Ye on his back and hurried to the gate of the post house.
“What are you doing, the beggars are here again!”
“Stop shouting, give me a room, I have money.”
“You have no fucking money…”
“If you talk nonsense, believe it or not, I’ll kill you?” Wei Lin raised his head and looked at him with a fierce look in his eyes, which frightened the man silly.
In the eyes of this beggar, there was a murderous look, and the man was terrified and went speechless for a while. Wei Lin looked at him impatiently: “Or do you really want to die?”
“…Follow, follow me…”
He took the two of them to a room. Wei Lin put Jiang Ye down first, then took out a few pieces of silver from his belt and threw it to the him: “Is it enough?”
“Enough, it is enough, the rent is only two or two days.”
“Black shop.”
“Come on big brother, we are a post house, not an inn, so it is naturally more expensive…”
“I don’t want to mess with you anymore, get someone to boil a bucket of hot water and bring it in, you keep the change of money, we will leave early tomorrow morning.”
“Okay!” Hearing that there are still tips to take, the waiter in the post house hanging heart fell and he hurried out of the room. He took a bite of the silver and made sure that it was real, and immediately stuffed a few of them into his pocket: “Not only did he brought business in the post house, but also got a tip, it’s great!”
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of a teacup falling to the ground in the room, and Wei Lin yelled: “you fucking hurry up, or I will peel your skin off!”
“Yes Yes Yes……”
It was getting dark, Wei Lin turned on all the lights in the room, took off Jiang Ye’s shirt, and helped him carefully check the the injury when he rolled down the slope during the day, and wiped it with hot water. He wiped off the bloodstains little by little with a rag, especially the one on his forehead, which hurt even Wei Lin to look at. But Jiang Ye also had a high fever to the point where he was completely unconscious, and despite Wei Lin’s careful care, there was no sign of waking up.
Wei Lin wiped Jiang Ye’s body clean, put on his clothes again, and tucked in the mattress for him.
After all this was done, Jiang Ye’s complexion improved a little bit. Now that there is no way to go back to the village, it is not possible to get medicine for Jiang Ye, so he can only take care of it by himself.
After finally getting Jiang Ye cleaned up, Wei Lin took off his own clothes. His body was no less wounded than Jiang Ye’s, especially his waist, where there was a large bruise covered with bloodstains, making it look very horrifying. He cleaned himself up with a rag, and when he got to the bruise on his waist, Wei Lin gritted his teeth in pain. Thanks to his strong body, otherwise he might not have been able to talk and laugh with Jiang Ye along the way.
“Wow, it’s comfortable.” After tidying up the wound, Wei Lin immediately went into the bucket to take a bath. In this winter, soaking in hot water can be said to be extremely refreshing. Wei Lin originally wanted Jiang Ye to take a bath too, but unfortunately he is unconscious now. Wei Lin has never served others to take a bath, so he didn’t think about it. If he feels better tomorrow, he will call someone to boil a bucket of hot water for him, so he can also take a bath.
The next day.
When Jiang Ye woke up, he found himself sleeping on a soft couch. For a moment, he thought he was still at home, and the journey with Wei Lin was a dream. He got up a little bit, his whole body was in excruciating pain, and only then did he see Wei Lin who was curled up aside and sleeping soundly.
He himself was covered with most of the blanket, but only Wei Lin’s stomach was covered up, and he was shrunk up in the corner, looking a little pitiful.
What happened yesterday?
Jiang Ye sorted out his thoughts, only remembering that he was really uncomfortable, and he lost consciousness when his eyes went dark. When he woke up again, it was like this. He quietly got out of bed and opened the window of the room. It was a vast expanse of whiteness outside. It seemed that there was another heavy snowfall last night. He doesn’t know how Wei Lin got a room in the post house, but if they still would have slept on the street last night, they might have froze to death.
He looked back at Wei Lin, only to see that when he left the bed, Wei Lin immediately occupied the whole bed, hugging himself tightly with the quilt.
This person, in fact, how should I put it, is pretty good.
Jiang Ye couldn’t help but feel a little moved. He walked to the edge of the bed, trying to cover Wei Lin with the blanket. When he reached out his hand, he touched Wei Lin’s arched waist. Wei Lin hummed and frowned.
Is it so precious?
Jiang also felt that something was wrong, so he lifted his shirt and looked at it. There was a big bruise on the back of his waist, which was still bloody. He recalled the time when he fell down the hillside before, only to realize that Wei Lin fell on the tree with his whole waist, and was hit badly.
This person is too strange. With such a serious injury, he seemed quite normal and had a playful smile on his face.
“Cold…” Wei Lin yelled weakly, moved, and woke up.
He turned his head to look at Jiang Ye, and Jiang Ye looked at him.
Jiang Ye’s hand was still on his waist.
“Wow, how audacious? Prostitution in the daytime? You haven’t asked me if I want to!” Wei Lin opened his mouth, and the pity and affection in Jiang Ye’s heart disappeared immediately.
“Where did you get the money to live in the post house?”
“I’m good-looking, so the room fee is free, don’t you believe it?”
“Can you be serious for a little while, just for a little while.”
“How are you?” Wei Lin didn’t answer the question, but instead threw out a question, and then reached out to touch Jiang Ye’s forehead. Jiang also subconsciously wanted to avoid, but he didn’t, “Well, it seems to be alright.”
“What’s wrong with me?”
“You had a high fever yesterday, it’s gone now, but I am not sure if it’s really cured, what if you burn your brain?” Wei Lin sat up from the bed and put his tattered coat back on, “No, wait, You didn’t take your brain when you left the home, wow, smart move.”
“Get lost. How did you get a room here?”
“Well, I secretly hid some money.”
“How much is left?”
“Just enough for the rent.”
“Can you say that again?”
“Okay, there are two more.”
“take it out.”
Wei Lin felt distressed and took out another two taels from the shoe. Jiang Ye also saw that he had agreed just like that, and thought that there was a fraud here, so he didn’t accept the money, and just looked at him directly.
“Okay, there are still two taels.” Wei Lin took out two taels from the other shoe.
“Um?”
“Okay, there is still one or two, really only one or two.” Then Wei Lin took out one or two from his hair.
“Stop pretending, take them all out.”
Wei Lin shook his head, sighed that the world was cruel, and took out a bank note from the inner pocket of his coat.
“How do you still have bank notes?”
“This is the money for my future wife, only twelve taels.”
“I really want to strangle you.”
“This money is mine.”
“When you die, it will belong to me.”
“Don’t, you can’t kill your teammate.”
“Get lost!”
Jiang Ye also snatched all of Wei Lin’s belongings and stuffed them all into his belt: “From now on, it’s mine. You have to ask me for money in the future. If you steal it again, I’ll hack you to death.”
“With all due respect, you are so poor that you can’t even afford a knife.”
“This money is enough to buy a kitchen knife.”
“This is my money!!!”
“It’s mine now.”
“Shameless bandit!”
“The money is mine, and you can say whatever you want.” Jiang Ye also looked indifferent, it’s better to say that he is already used to Wei Lin’s tricks.
“Can you ride a horse?” Jiang also asked.
“Yes, what about you?”
“Can’t.”
“Then why are you asking?”
“I want to buy two horses.”
“But you don’t know how to ride!”
“So let’s rent a car.”
“Then you ask the hammer!”
“Who is the hammer?”
“…”
