Chapter 8 : 發現
[Realize]
“Reply to the young master, the young lady is taking a bath at the moment because he made fish today. Do you need the slave girl to go and inform the young lady?” Cai Yue looked at her own young master. She doesn’t know if it’s an illusion or not, it seems that his spirit is much better than some time ago.
Learning the answer, Ji Ling did not say anything, and only waved his hand, signalling that it was not necessary. Then he sat down on his seat, pondering over the statement he received when he went to see the doctor today. The doctor’s skills were one of the best in the world, and if it wasn’t for his mother’s kindness or favor, he wouldn’t have been able to treat him for so many years. He was aware of his recent condition, but he didn’t think that it would actually bring him such a big surprise.
After carefully taking the pulse of young master Ji, the old man carefully measured Ji Ling’s face, and only at the end did he say his judgement, seemingly very puzzled, “Has the young master had any strange encounters during this period of time? According to the pulse. According to the pulse, the dead air is beginning to appear a trace of vitality, and it looks like the image of bringing the dead back to life and the withered tree to spring. If it continues like this, I’m afraid it’s only a matter of time before it returns to normal human level.”
Hearing the old man’s words, Ji Ling clenched his fists, appearing a little excited. But then he thought of something, and quickly calmed down, then looked at this old man who had been helping himself, and said very respectfully, “Indeed, recently I got the tonic given by the travelling doctor, and ate a little bit of it in the attitude of trying, but I didn’t think that it would actually be that effective.”
Seeing that Ji Ling did not look like he wanted to continue, the old man also thoughtfully did not pursue the question. Although he had been practising medicine for so many years, he had never seen such a miraculous thing, but he thought of the secrets of a mansion with many courtyards and very high walls, so he did not think about it any more.
After bidding farewell to the old man, Ji Ling returned to the mansion. On the way, he thought about his recent events, the only difference was the food Tang Xiaobao gave him. Thinking about this, Ji Ling’s eyes became deeper, it seems that this Tang Xiaobao still has a lot of secrets on him.
Until the evening meal was served, Tang Xiaobao was able to take a good bath. Being soaked very comfortably Tang Xiaobao covered his soaked dizzy head, slowly walked towards the living room, until he heard someone call his name, startled, and then he saw Ji Ling who he did not know since when he came back, staring straight at himself, he suddenly shivered again.
Because Tang Xiaobao had just taken a bath, his body was covered with a little bit of moisture, even his cheeks were soaked soft and red, and because of the shock he had received just now, his eyes still had a little bit of little animal-like uneasiness in them. Seeing such a Tang Xiaobao, Ji Ling’s eyes became deeper.
Seeing Ji Ling’s expression looking at him changed, as if he wanted to eat people. Tang Xiaobao really wanted to run backward, but before he could do so, he realized that Ji Ling was back to his original form.
“Why are you still standing there? Come and eat.” Ji Ling looked at the silly and slow witted Tang Xiaobao, and couldn’t even open his mouth to blame him. Pursing his lips, he then looked at the fish soup Tang Xiaobao had prepared for him. Originally, he didn’t know, he just had a vague feeling, but now that he realized that this could cure him, Ji Ling’s eyes changed as he looked at the fish soup. Then he looked at the person who made the food, since it was in his own hands, he bumped into it, so it couldn’t escape.
At this time, Tang Xiaobao looked at some strange Ji Ling slowly moving over. He felt that Ji Ling is weird, although similar to the previous cold and icy appearance, just in his eyes with a little something else, let him feel a little creepy or one’s hair stand on end.
Animal instinct told him to run away, but reason told him that he should sit down and enjoy his dinner. In the end, it was the reason that won out over emotion, so Tang Xiaobao slowly moved over and took his seat.
At this moment, Ji Ling was leisurely eating the fish Tang Xiaobao had prepared for him. Originally, he thought it was because Tang Xiaobao’s handiwork was good, but now he knew that it was his own instinct for survival. Therefore, he treasured it even more, because he was not sure what Tang Xiaobao’s secret was. Fortunately, Ji Ling decided to observe in secret, and behaved in a way that was no different from his normal behaviour.
Sensing the restored normal Ji Ling, Tang Xiaobao’s originally lifted heart instantly dropped, and began to enjoy the dishes made by the chef. There were two dishes and one soup in front of him, while Ji Ling only had one dish. Thinking about it, he felt very happy but every time, this would also ‘scare himself’.
Although Tang Xiaobao loved cooking, he also loved eating vegetables and only after trying different flavours could he find what he wanted to cook, and could help him better adjust the taste of each dish. By carrying this belief, Tang Xiaobao ate the north and south sides of the Yangtze River (idiom) / (fig.) all over China’s dishes when he had the money and leisure.
Originally, thought that even a fish, for a person who just a few days ago, even a bowl of congee he can not finish it, this already kind of forcing him, but did not expect today’s Ji Ling will eat the fish clean, even the soup is not much left, but the rice he only ate a few mouthfuls.
Seeing that Ji Ling ate so cleanly, compared to the past few days due to not much exercise, he did not eat that much food. There were still some leftover dishes, it looked as if Tang Xiaobao was a bit wasteful.
Sure enough, after finishing the food, Ji Ling found himself in better spirits again, and was feeling the warmth travelling through his limbs, when his remaining light saw Tang Xiaobao staring at the food in front of him, somewhat fretting. So he waved his hand and commanded the subordinate behind him, “Pack up the leftovers.”
Hearing Ji Ling’s instruction, Tang Xiaobao did not need to get entangled, because the subordinates moved very nimbly to tidy up the things, adding up in less than a few seconds the table was cleaned up as bright as ever.
For someone who had been taught to conserve food since childhood, Tang Xiaobao was still thinking about whether or not to instruct his subordinates to start putting in less food tomorrow, when he heard Ji Ling say, “After you finish your meal, accompany me out for a walk.”
“Ah, oh.” At first, Tang Xiaobao thought he had heard wrong, but quickly came back to his senses and nodded. Looking at his own stomach, it was time to aid digestion. He had eaten a bit too much, and it was sticking out a bit. Then turned his head to look at the person beside him, just drank such a big bowl of soup, maybe the same as himself, just maybe wearing too many clothes, he can’t see anything, and he still feels so thin.
Not knowing why Tang Xiaobao stared at his own stomach for a while and then looked at himself. Thinking of the only possibility, revealing an odd expression, is it possible that he helped himself back to health, is wanting a child of his own? Thinking of this, Ji Ling frowned and pondered over the possibilities.
He totally does not know what Ji Ling is thinking about, this time Tang Xiaobao ate a full meal and enjoyed the lazy time, bringing their own little belly walking in the sunset, occasionally there is a breeze blowing; he only feels very satisfied.
Compared to the comfort of Tang Xiaobao, the inner surprise of Ji Ling, who was walking freely on the road without any help, was already indescribable. Although his every step was very slow, he had never been this steadier and happier.
At first, Tang Xiaobao did not notice, until he realized that there was a distance between himself and Ji Ling. Only then did he turn around and realized that Ji Ling seemed to be a bit far away from him, and his steps looked a bit difficult. Then, Tang Xiaobao remembered that Ji Ling’s health was not good, so he slowed down his pace and walked to Ji Ling’s side, waiting for him to walk slowly with him.
Seeing Tang Xiaobao returning to his side, Ji Ling lifted his head to look at him, and then ignored him.
Tang Xiaobao slowly strolled beside him, not caring how slowly Ji Ling was walking. The two of them were just walking there, just like two slow old men.
By the time Ji Ling finished walking round the garden, a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on his forehead, but his mood was unprecedentedly satisfied. Looking at Tang Xiaobao, who was still walking slowly beside him and swaying a bit with two steps, his eyes were filled with light.
When the two went back, their spirit is still good, Ji Ling began to deal with his remaining affairs, and Tang Xiaobao also finally found a suitable travelogue, sitting there leisurely shaking legs, and from time to time also eat a little bit of dried fruit prepared by the maids, the atmosphere is harmonious.
Until he went to sleep, drowsy, Tang Xiaobao suddenly heard in his ears, someone asked himself, “Why is your cooking so good? Why can you cure people?”
Thinking that he was dreaming, the big black cat in front of him looked at himself very puzzledly, and was very satisfied with his food. In a daze, Tang Xiaobao proudly said, “This is my family’s ancestral heritage, this is the ancestral craft, no one else can learn. As for the cure, of course, because I have a little secret ah.”
After saying this, Tang Xiaobao rolled over and completely fell asleep. He didn’t notice that the person next to him turned his head to look at him, and an unknown colour of inquiry flashed in his eyes.
Early in the morning, Tang Xiaobao woke up, he found his pillow side had disappeared, he thought he might go wash up, maybe he got up and went out first. Then he scratched his messy hair, and quickly climbed up, seeing that there was no one in the washroom, he quickly washed and cleaned himself, changed into the clothes he wore for cooking, and walked towards the kitchen.
As usual, as the rule he followed Cai Yue, but he don’t know if it was the case with last time it poked her, but now every time Tang Xiaobao goes to cook, she always wears a dress that is more suitable for cooking, even though it still doesn’t require her to do anything.
His own small kitchen is still under construction, for the time being still needs to stay in this kitchen for a while, so the things here Tang Xiaobao basically use are very familiar. And the people in the kitchen, from the beginning of the fear and trepidation, to be able, in front of Tang Xiaobao’s face, do cooking. It can not be said as a big progress. The chefs sometimes saw Tang Xiaobao’s excellent handiwork, but also stood by the side, silent learning, at first they thought Tang Xiaobao would mind, and then found that he did not care at all, they also let go of their boldness. But even if you are bold enough, you won’t dare to cross the line.
Thinking about Ji Ling’s recent appetite and what he eats every day, Tang Xiaobao is going to make some food today. Today, Tang Xiaobao was going to make a steamed bun, prepared the flour, put in the seasoning, and then make it into the shape of a cute little animal, then put it on the steamer, and wait for it to be brought over by the servants, then Tang Xiaobao’s task would be considered as done.
Tang Xiaobao was ready to go back to change his clothes and prepare for the meal, and on the way back, he saw Ji Ling who was seriously learning martial arts with Feng Ling. Originally a very thin body, because of this period of rehabilitation, he has begun to grow meat, originally looking scary, this time he has a gradually handsome outline. It could be seen that if he hadn’t recovered from his illness, Ji Ling would have gradually grown up to be a man that everyone adored.
Compared to those who have just started learning martial arts, Ji Ling’s age is already very old, but now he only wants to strengthen his body, not to become more powerful, so he doesn’t care about his own progress, but he also learnt to be very focused.
Tang Xiaobao looked at Ji Ling, who had changed from being a bit clumsy in the beginning to becoming good-looking now, and felt happy for him from the bottom of his heart. He knew that Ji Ling had made great efforts to stay alive.
Noticing that someone was looking at him, Ji Ling turned his head and saw the silly Tang Xiaobao. He didn’t know whether it was because others forgot to remind him, or what, but at this moment, his face was still stained with some white flour, which made him look unusually conspicuous.
Thinking that today’s activity is enough, Ji Ling gave up the idea of continuing, lifted his feet and walked to the side of Tang Xiaobao. Taking the hand towel handed over by the boy beside him to wipe the sweat, he wiped himself, and then lifted his eyes to look at Tang Xiaobao, still felt that it was an eyesore, so he casually took something in his hand and wiped it for Tang Xiaobao.
A face of dumbfounded Tang Xiaobao stood there, puzzled and confused as he looked at him. Why did he wipe his face with the things he used to wipe his own ?
Completely regardless of what Tang Xiaobao’s mind is thinking, after wiping, Ji Ling gave the things in his hands over to the servant boy. Looking at Tang Xiaobao, he lightly said, “What did you do in the kitchen just now?”
Staring at Ji Ling’s obvious changing face, Tang Xiaobao froze for a moment, then remembering those cute little steamed buns he made today, he instantly became excited, and didn’t even pursue the meaning of Ji Ling’s actions just now. “I thought that your appetite had recently improved, so I made some little buns this morning, so you can eat them later.”
“I’m looking forward to it.” After saying that, he took Tang Xiao Bao back, not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional, the distance between the two was very close, and they looked very intimate. If they were far away from each other, he was afraid they would think that they were holding hands.
“Feng Ling said that in a couple of days my small kitchen will be ready for use, and then I will additionally make some delicious food for you to eat.” Although the current big kitchen is convenient, there are still a lot of things that he is not used to, only until his own small kitchen is built, some food can be tried whether it can be made or not. He has long thought about what to do, crisp fried duck, spicy mala chicken, and roasted sweet sausage. These are the foods he has wanted to eat for a long time, but unfortunately the flavour made here is not the same as the ones he used to eat.
Seeing Tang Xiaobao’s eager mouth, Ji Ling’s mood also improved. Nodding his head, he indicated that he knew, “What do you need, make a list for Feng Ling, he will ask someone to prepare it.”
“Well, good.”
