Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower
Chapter 2621 - 2623: The Elders: “…”Old Master Nan listened to the two people’s conversation and nodded his head.
“Do you plan to take some disciples?”
Disciples?
Shan Yu shook his head. “I don’t really want to take care of others.”
Watching his master having to take care of the mess made by his disciples, Shan Yu felt that it was really tiring. He himself refused to face such a thing and would rather stay with his wife and take care of his child.
Moreover, the virtue of Traveling Doctor Liu’s disciples were amazing.
From a runaway prince to a gambler who could not stop gambling.
There were people from all walks of life with various life experiences and troubles. If Shan Yu had to teach these kind of people, he would definitely have headache.
It would be better for him not to take any disciple in the first place.
Old Master Nan thought about Traveling Doctor Liu’s disciples and his lips twitched. It couldn’t be that someone would be as unlucky as Traveling Doctor Liu and accepted various kind of strange disciples, right?
In that case, he wanted to sincerely lit a candle for that person.
Because Old Master Nan knew very well that Traveling Doctor Liu was more tired because of his disciples than anything else.
Long Qian Xing nodded.
Unlike Old Master Nan who still knew about the virtue of Traveling Doctor Liu’s disciples, Long Qian Xing didn’t know much about these things. After all, he was busy with various things and he only knew about Nan Hua’s senior brother and sister through her.
He had no intention of knowing too much since it had no relationship with him.
Why should he bother with other people’s business unnecessarily?
Too tiring.
“Can I ask about the mountain behind you?” Long Qian Xing thought about something and pointed at the Xia Mountains behind the village.
“Yes?”
“I want to know the safe routes…”
“I know some that you can pass without getting too deep.” Shan Yu started to explain to Long Qian Xing.
During this period of time, Yu Jin also let Shan Yu walked around the mountain range a few times, allowing him to familiarize himself with the environment there. He tried his best to memorize these routes because they would allow him to travel around without the need to worry about being attacked because he accidentally reached the Mountain Tribe’s area.
They lived quite deep, though.
So unless one purposely enter into the mountain range deeply, it was unlikely for them to meet the Mountain Tribe’s people.
The talk lasted for a few incense sticks of time.
Looking at Yu Jin and Nan Hua who came back when it was near dinner time, the men were speechless.
Yu Jin looked at the board on the table suspiciously. “It couldn’t be that you’re playing Go all the time when we’re outside, right?”
Shan Yu looked at Yu Jin helplessly. “Not all the time but at least half of them.”
They first talked about various topics and Shan Yu also asked Long Qian Xing about the war and Traveling Doctor Liu’s situation. But afterwards, they didn’t have anything else to talk about.
Rather than doing nothing, they simply played a game of Go.
Old Master Nan was watching from the side, looking Shan Yu being abused by Long Qian Xing.
“Let’s eat first and then Hua’er will stay here today!” Yu Jin giggled. “Don’t forget to prepare more food for them to bring on the way.”
“There’s no need to prepare too much.” Nan Hua shook her head. “Cheng City is just two days journey from here.”
“Two days if you’re not stopping and the pace is not so slow.” Yu Jin crossed her arms. “Do you think I don’t know that your carriage is definitely slower than usual?”
It’s indeed very slow.
Nan Hua had personally experienced the slow speed of the carriage. Despite using the wide road that was built during the war and also afterwards, the overall speed of the carriage remained extremely low.
This was mainly to reduce the bumps and shaking on the road.
Nan Hua glanced at Yu Jin and said, “Don’t use the public resources for your own needs.”
Yu Jin: “…”
In the end, Yu Jin gave up.
When Nan Hua said that, she definitely knew that Yu Jin personally was not very rich. After all, the money that Yu Jin received during the time when she became a general all went to the Mountain Tribe’s expense.
There were also a lot of people under her whom Yu Jin had to take care, so she couldn’t really waste her money around.
The salary of a general was quite a lot.
But it was far from enough to feed thousands of families under Yu Jin.
Their own food had to be produced in the mountain and then brought to the frontline aside from the supplies from Fei Yang Kingdom. Otherwise, they would not be able to eat at all.
When Yu Jin retired, she did bring some money but it was mostly used to build this village.
Now, Yu Jin could be said to be poor.
As for Shan Yu?
He was even poorer.
Even though he’s a doctor and should have treated a lot of people, Shan Yu would not receive payment if the patients were too poor. They could only compensate him with some foods as medical expense.
And when Shan Yu finally has money, he used them buy medicinal materials.
After marriage, this spending has been reduced for their living expense, but the two of them were definitely far from rich.
“If you want to, I’ll buy some food from you,” Nan Hua added.
“Tsk.” Yu Jin clicked her tongue and finally nodded. “Alright, but I won’t give you any high price.”
For Yu Jin, it was good that Nan Hua was willing to help her.
But she felt that their village was doing well.
Anyway, the finance matter was all handled by the elders and Yu Jin felt no pressure.
The elders: “…”
