Chapter 1171: Chapter 1173: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

"Xiaobei is going too?" Xia Dabao asked, "Doesn’t he have work to do today?"

"No, my mom said to let him go out with us more. Since he has come to our village, he should get used to the life here. Brother Xiaobei hasn’t even been up the mountain yet."

...

At the foot of the mountain, several children were already waiting. As soon as Tian Xiaobei saw Xia Dabao, he couldn’t help but ask, "Does your knee still hurt?"

"There’s a little pain left, but it’s nothing serious. My folks applied medicine on it yesterday, and now I can walk," Xia Dabao said, lifting the hem of her pants to show Tian Xiaobei her knee to reassure him.

It was wrapped in a layer of gauze.

Seeing this, Lanlan quickly reminded Xia Dabao, "Abao, they’re all boys, you shouldn’t show them. My mom says girls shouldn’t casually show their legs to others."

"Whatever, it’s not that complicated. Look, when we’re transplanting rice seedlings, doesn’t everyone roll up their pants and get to work?"

"That’s true," Lanlan said, "but there’s still a difference between married women and unmarried girls."

"It doesn’t matter, I don’t have leg hair on my legs," Xia Dabao retorted.

"..." Lanlan was baffled and couldn’t understand what was going on in Xia Dabao’s head. What did leg hair have to do with anything?

From a professional perspective of running a Medical Hall, Tian Xiaobei thought the wound was expertly dressed, considering his Medical Hall-operating father might not even be able to wrap the gauze as well as this. It seemed like his skills had gone through rigorous practice.

He couldn’t help but ask, "Abao, was your dad a doctor before?"

Xia Dabao chuckled, "What doctor? You think the wound is wrapped well? My dad used to be a sailor, traveling around all year round. There were no doctors on board, so sailors had to take care of minor injuries themselves, that’s why he knows how to treat external wounds. But as for internal ones, he’s clueless, probably not as good as yours."

"So your dad used to be a sailor, he must have been to many places, right?"

"Of course, my dad’s boat traveled to the furthest south and also the furthest north, wherever there was a river, he’s been there. Later, after he met my mom and had me, he settled down to become a farmer."

"No wonder, your dad looks like someone who’s seen the world, very imposing," said Tian Xiaobei.

But what about the innate nobility? Do sailors have that kind of temperament?

That must be the demeanor of a ship captain, right?

Tian Xiaobei didn’t think much further. He only reminded them to be careful while climbing the mountain. As they were about to ascend, a peculiar voice came from behind: "Where are you guys going?"

Without looking, one could tell it was Zhao Datu.

Zhang Qianqian and Wang San were afraid of Zhao Datu, but Lanlan was his cousin, and they got along okay, so she asked Zhao Datu, "We’re going up the mountain to pick berries."

"Picking berries?" Seeing Xia Dabao was there too, Zhao Datu walked over, "That’s perfect, I was thinking about going up the mountain to pick berries myself."

"Brother Datu, you’re going too? Well... okay then, the more the merrier," Lanlan said apologetically, glancing at Zhang Qianqian and Wang San, who were usually scared of Zhao Datu and probably didn’t welcome his company.

However, intimidated by Zhao Datu’s usual bluster, they had no choice but to agree.

Zhao Datu saw Tian Xiaobei was also there and frowned, "Why is he going too? Doesn’t he have work to do?"

"My mom said to let Brother Xiaobei experience climbing a mountain and life in the mountains," Lanlan explained from the side.
