Chapter 328 Deception
Qi Xu pinched the corners of his eyes, thinking about how to let Brother Dazhi go home first.
"Brother Dazhi, the military camp has been busy these days, so I won't be going back these two days. I'll go back when I have nothing else to do. Tell Ah Fu to pack two sets of clothes and bring them to me."
Although he didn't know what his good friend was going to do, Zhou Mingzhi still nodded and agreed.
"Then you have to take good care of yourself. I'll ask Ah Fu to come over later."
After the two brothers agreed, Zhou Mingzhi went back with the lunch box.
Qi Xu sat next to Qi Rui, looked at his pale face, and squeezed his hand tightly.
The second brother saved San Ya's life and injured himself.
Even if he has other thoughts, he should stop. His second brother deserves everything he likes.
The two brothers, one sitting and the other lying, stayed like that quietly for half a day.
The silence was broken only when Lord Xue came over.
"Young Master Qi, I wonder if your brother..."
Qi Xu knew what he wanted to ask, "Master Xue, my second brother hasn't woken up yet, but he has no signs of fever. The military doctor said he should wake up soon."
"That's good, that's good." Lord Xue broke into a sweat.
"Lord Qi is seriously injured. I need you to write a memorial to..."
Lord Xue gestured upwards.
Qi Xu understood what he meant.
"Let's wait until he wakes up."
He couldn't make up his mind about his second brother.
For fear of disturbing Qi Rui's rest, the two of them lowered their voices and went to the outer room to discuss things.
In the middle of the day, Qi Rui finally woke up.
The first thing I did when I woke up was to be forced by the military doctor to drink a bowl of bitter medicine.
He was in pain and discomfort and almost vomited.
"Master, the young lady from the Zhou family sent some chicken soup this morning. Would you like to have some?"
The chicken soup has become a little cold by now. If you want to eat it, you have to go to the kitchen to heat it up.
"Hmm? Has she been here?"
"No, no, it was sent by her cousin. He delivered it just after dawn. The chicken soup has become a little cold now. I'll go ask someone to heat it up."
"Yeah, go ahead. It doesn't have to be too hot."
After drinking a bowl of medicine, he now feels a little bloated.
But it will take a while for it to heat up, so don’t worry about not being able to drink it later.
"Um... Master, the young master is back. He said he will help you take care of the affairs temporarily."
Rufeng told Qi Rui the news, which was double the joy for Qi Rui today.
There is Zhou Mingshu's chicken soup to drink, and no work to deal with.
He can take a good three-month vacation now!
That's really great.
Rufeng quickly went out with the bowl, leaving Qi Rui lying alone on the bed.
"Second brother, you're awake! How do you feel?" Qi Xu asked with concern.
Seeing his brother coming over, Qi Rui suppressed the joy on his face and instead looked sad.
"Tsk, not so good."
"Well, okay then, you should listen to the military doctor and take good care of yourself for the time being. Don't worry about other things for now, just leave them to me."
"No, that won't work. You're still so young, what do you know? There are so many things to deal with at the mine, I can't trust you, a little kid. Help me up, I can still do it."
As Qi Rui spoke, he stretched out his arm, motioning Qi Xu to help him up.
"Second brother, why are you trying to be a hero? Now is not the time for you to be a hero. Just lie down. You are only a few years older than me. I may be able to do things that you can do better than you. Just wait and see."
Qi Xu frowned, pressed Qi Rui's arm down, and pulled the quilt to cover him.
Completely ignored his request.
"You are so young, I am a little worried. I am afraid that those old foxes will bully you. It takes a hundred days to heal your bones. Can you hold on for three months?"
"Don't worry, Lord Xue has already come this morning and I sent him away. No matter whether it's old or crispy, I won't take it. If I really can't handle it, I'll come back to ask you for advice. How about that?"
"I feel relieved when you say that. What my father and mother said is indeed right. Qi family's Ah Xu has grown up..."
Qi Rui pretended to cough as he spoke, which made Qi Xu feel distressed and the sense of responsibility in his heart became stronger.
"Second brother, you just need to take care of your injuries for the time being."
"Okay, it's all up to you."
Qi Rui pretended to be such a kind and filial brother that he easily fooled Qi Xu.
When Ru Feng came back after heating up the chicken soup, he saw his master lying there alone, grinning foolishly.
The scene was hilarious no matter how you looked at it.
If his master hadn't been seriously injured, he might have actually laughed.
Rufeng scooped a spoonful of chicken soup and wanted to feed him, but Qi Rui was not such a pretentious person.
I had to sit up and drink it myself.
Rufeng had no choice but to bring over a quilt for his master to use as a pillow.
"Hehe, Qi Xu said he would help me with official duties for three months. Remember to help him more. I don't have much to do here, so just let others serve me."
Qi Rui took the chicken soup and drank it in small sips, feeling quite good.
"I have asked Chengfeng to assist the young master. There shouldn't be any problems. I will go over there more often when I have nothing to do. I will definitely not let the young master get tired. But I dare not neglect your health."
"Okay, okay, whatever you want. It won't be a problem as long as Chengfeng is here."
Qi Rui thought the spoon was too small, so he threw it away and drank it all in a few gulps.
"Any more?"
Just a few sips were not enough for him to drink.
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll get more."
Qi Rui drank three bowls in a row before stopping, mainly because he had finished them all.
"Rufeng, Mingshu is also injured. Please go and see if she is feeling better. Pick out some good herbs from the cabinet and send them over."
"Ah? The young lady of the Zhou family just sprained her ankle. She will be fine in two days. There is no need to use so many expensive medicinal herbs. You should take some supplements instead."
"Tsk, you're teaching me how to do things. Just go if you're told to. Don't talk so much nonsense. You don't have to pick something expensive, just an ordinary one will do. Otherwise, with the Zhou family's style of doing things, who knows, they might give you something in return."
While Qi Rui was directing Ru Feng, he picked up a book to read.
"I almost forgot to tell you that the old lady of the Zhou family and her sons came here last night and waited until you had treated your wound before leaving. They brought some chicken, fish, meat, eggs, and wild delicacies, and I accepted them all."
"Ah? How long did they wait?"
"It only took a few hours. Your condition was critical at the time, so you had no time to take care of them. By the time you were done with the work in the tent, it was almost dawn."
Rufeng didn't understand why his master reacted so strongly.
Qi Rui thought about it and returned to normal.
The people of the Zhou family are indeed sincere.
He kept these things in mind until the window paper was broken.
"Okay, I get it. Just remember to send the things over."
Qi Rui was in pain and didn't want to think too much.
