Sick Man Turns Out to be a General

3Ever since there were two eggs at home, Xun Er would squat in front of the chicken house for a while every day to see if his little bird had hatched.     2

    

The grass on the riverside outside the village had already grown green and was suffused with a verdant life force. Last month, a lot of seedlings had been planted here, and the emerald green areas looked very pleasing to the eyes. The villagers also began to go down into the fields from time to time to check on the growth of the seedlings, occasionally letting in some water, and even beginning to fertilize the seedlings for the first time.    

    

Feeling the bright April sunshine, Shen Jingli could not hold it in anymore and let Jin Yu accompany him as he walked around the village. In fact, he would rather walk around by himself and look for someone to play chess with, but Jin Yu and her age is too young, and if no one follows him, he won't go out. He has no other choice, this ancient servant was too stubborn to let him go.    

    

From the high ground at the end of the village, they could see the grassy area by the small river at the back of the mountain. There were a few water buffaloes leisurely grazing there. The scenery was extremely beautiful.    

    

"It's a good place to have a picnic over there." It would be better if he brought a barbecue stove with him. While he was cooking, he would also appreciate the scenery. He could even paint a picture of his own life. It was simply impossible to make it even better.    

    

"No."    

    

Shen Jingli was still thinking happily when he splashed a bucket of cold water on Shen Jingli. She stepped forward to help him up and forcefully pulled him back, nagging him as they walked: "Madam, you are a man with two bodies now, how can you do something so dangerous? "What if you hurt the child …"    

    

These words had been said more than a hundred times, but when Shen Jingli heard that his ears had calluses, he reached out to rub his ears, and continued to rub his left ear until it went in and out of his right ear.    

    

Sometimes, he really admired Jin Yu, Qing Sheng and the others. Everyday, he would repeat the same words to them. Or did he just blurt it out because he was used to it?    

    

When he returned home, he saw Qing Sheng sitting in the courtyard sewing. Just as Shen Jingli was about to extend his hand to greet him, Jin Yu immediately went up to report to him, "Madam Qing Sheng, you don't know, he actually said that he was going for a picnic. It's so dangerous inside the mountain, how could he …"    

    

Mom, are these people finished?    

    

Hearing this, Shen Jingli felt his head ache. Needless to say, they would immediately take turns to supplement the content of "Men's Rings" for him. He smirked and quickly sneaked back into his room while they were still complaining to each other.    

    

"Xun Er?"    

    

In the bushes in the backyard, Xun Er was currently squatting there, cautiously staring at something unknown.    

    

Shen Jingli walked over, but Xun Er suddenly turned back and shooed him a few times, then pointed at the two eggs inside the pile of grass, causing the shell to crack and crack. With a crackling sound, the eggs started to hatch.    

    

"Mama, the little bird is about to come out." Xun Er reached out and tugged at Shen Jingli's pants leg, excitement written all over his face.    

    

A crack appeared on one of the eggshells, and the crack became bigger and bigger. A wet, small head popped out, and rolled along the eggshell, after that, he saw a grey, fluffy ball drilling out from the shattered eggshell, giving out a low, hoarse cry towards Xun Er. It staggered and crawled over to his feet, lying on the tip of his shoes, and stopped moving.    

    

Xun Er looked at the bird, then raised his head and looked at Shen Jingli, he pointed at the bird on his shoes, "Mama, Little Bird …"    

    

"Yes, it's hatching." Shen Jingli walked to his side and squatted down, then used his hand to poke the head of that soft gray fur ball. "It looks like an eagle, but I don't know what kind of eagle it is."    

    

"What is an eagle?" Xun Er wanted to reach out to touch the bird, but he didn't dare do so.    

    

"That's right …"    

    

The other egg also began to make cracking sounds, but this one was a bit strange, like it was split horizontally. A small piece of eggshell fell off the egg first, and then a small head lifted up the one on top and came out. The little piece of eggshell didn't fall off yet.    

    

Xun Er's gaze was attracted again as he pointed to the egg on the little bird's head and grinned at Shen Jingli, "Mama, look at this …"    

    

This one also started to stagger as it walked, lying at Xun Er's feet like the previous one. Maybe it was because of the plot of a young bird, and thought of Xun Er as their parents.    

    

"Mama, they look different from small chickens." Qing Sheng brought Xun Er to take a look at the hatching of chickens. After those chickens had hatched, they were all covered with a small amount of yellow fur, which was completely different from the gray ones.    

    

"This isn't a chicken, it's an eagle." Shen Jingli felt that it should be something like a condor. He didn't know why Mu Chen would ask someone to bring back two condor eggs.    

    

"What are sculptures?" Xun Er asked again.    

    

"It's a fierce bird that can fly in the sky."    

    

"Then when they grow up, will they be able to bring Xun Er along with them?" Xun Er asked naively.    

    

Shen Jingli looked at his naïve son and really didn't know how to explain this matter to him. He rubbed his head and said: "Let's find some food for the little bird first, okay?"    

    

Xun Er looked at the little chick that was lying at his feet, one in front of the other. He nodded seriously and carefully picked up the little bird, "Mama, what do you think the little bird should eat? Like a chicken eating grass? Or do you eat bugs? "    

    

"He should be eating meat …" Shen Jingli replied uncertainly.    

    

"..."    

    

"Where did you get these two?" Xu Yanlin looked at the two young birds in his nest, and looked at Shen Jingli in surprise.    

    

"The fourteenth was sent over. Is there a problem?" Shen Jingli also squeezed over to take a look at the two little chicks. The two normal chicks weren't particularly ferocious, could it be that they still couldn't be raised?    

    

"Zi An sent it?" Xu Yanlin raised his eyebrows as his heart was filled with doubts, "The egg he raised was in the northwest direction, under the care of the cold wind, where did the egg come from?"    

    

Shen Jingli did not know anything about Mu Chen's past. He only asked in vain. He shrugged and sat down, "If you don't know, how would I know?"    

    

Xu Yanlin turned around and glanced at Shen Jingli, "Did Zi An tell you about the Northwest Army Camp yet?"    

    

"Nope." Shen Jingli shook his head and drank some water.    

    

Xu Yanlin immediately looked at Shen Jingli as if he was looking at a weirdo, as if he was suspecting something.    

    

"What kind of expression is that?" Isn't it just that he doesn't know about Mu Shisi's past, what is there to be surprised about? Didn't Mu Shisi still not know his history and past?    

    

When Shen Jingli thought about it, he suddenly felt that there were still a lot of problems between him and Mu Chen. It was hard to tell whether they trusted each other or not.    

    

"I'm just curious, you and Zi An have such a good relationship, you actually know nothing about his past?" Xu Yanlin laughed and said, "You aren't the slightest bit curious about his situation in the Northwest Army Camp? "Is there …"    

    

Xu Yanlin laughed sinisterly, the meaning in his words was self-evident.    

    

"When he wants to say it, he will naturally say it." Shen Jingli remained calm and composed, "On the other hand, have you ever done anything improper in the army camp?"    

    

Xu Yanlin drank half of the tea in one gulp, and almost choked to death by the tea, "Cough, cough, you, cough, what nonsense are you spouting?"    

    

Shen Jingli glared at him, his eyes carrying the meaning of "you don't need to quibble, I understand". Xu Yanlin was so angry that he almost vomited blood, what did he know? He never did anything.    

    

Seeing him like this, Shen Jingli was even more sure that he had done some improper things in the army camp before, and said with deep understanding: "As a man, there is always a little need, understood."    

    

Xu Yanlin choked, he stared at Shen Jingli for a while, and felt that what he said was weird, what did he understand? Had he tried to vent his needs to someone else?    

    

Xu Yanlin was frightened by this thought. He looked at Shen Jingli again in shock, thinking that it was not possible.    

    

"Enough, don't blame me for everything." Ye Zichen thought about it for a moment. He seemed to have brought this up himself. It really was like lifting a rock to smash one's own foot.    

    

Shen Jingli saw that he was blushing so much that he did not continue to tease him. Instead, he pointed to the two little things and asked: "Are these two sculptures?"    

    

"Yes, White-shouldered Eagle. Zi An had raised one in the Northwest Army Camp. It was a very clever big fellow. He helped Zi An a lot on the battlefield." Xu Yanlin said, he extended his hand and poked one of the grey heads, "Probably because I saw these two eggs, I suddenly thought of the big guy from before, and gave it back."    

    

Xu Yanlin's expression softened a lot, and his poking movements changed into stroking. The depths of his eyes, was filled with unspeakable nostalgia.    

    

All men's friendship would be consolidated during fights, it should be suitable for them. Shen Jingli thought for a moment, then picked up a banana and started eating.    

    

Xun Er walked in with a plate of jerky in his hands. When the two little fellows saw the food, they flapped their wings and was about to rush over. Xu Yanlin was worried that they would peck at Xun Er, so he grabbed onto some jerky and sprinkled it on top of their heads.    

    

"Xun Er, don't get too close, in case you get hurt." Xu Yanlin extended his hand to protect Xun Er. Engraving beasts were all fierce fierce birds of prey, especially when hunting, they were extremely fierce. Although the two were young, hunting was natural for them, they were afraid that they would accidentally hurt Xun Er.    

    

Xun Er stood obediently behind Xu Yanlin for a while, then leaped into Shen Jingli's embrace, "Mama …"    

    

Shen Jingli picked him up and made him sit on his lap, then fed him banana slices.    

    

Xun Er didn't want to eat it, so he turned around and looked at the two little White-shouldered Eagle s. After eating the dried meat, the two little fellows laid down lazily like two little pigs.    

    

"They're like you." Xu Yanlin said to Shen Jingli.    

    

Shen Jingli laughed, the object looked like its master, so there was nothing bad about it.    

    

When Xun Er heard this, he misunderstood and thought. He tilted his head and pointed at the two sculptures, then pointed at Shen Jingli's stomach, "Brother, two."    

    

Xun Er gestured with two fingers, feeling very happy.    

    

Shen Jingli and Xu Yanlin both laughed when they heard it.
