Chapter 196 Changing Name to An Xing
The doctor smiled calmly.
"Brother Guan, let's stop here for today's reunion. If you don't feel satisfied, how about I come to accompany you next time?"
When Manager Guan and his companions saw that the other party was a reasonable person, they finally felt relieved.
Shopkeeper Guan clasped his fists and bowed, "Thank you, old brother!"
The doctor also bowed and said, "We have known each other for many years. There is no need to be polite. As a citizen of Nanwu Kingdom, I should do my part!"
After hearing this, Manager Guan and his companions were deeply moved and said no more.
After sending the doctor away, Manager Guan returned to Peng Xuemin's room.
Xiao Ran and Dong Lai were guarding Peng Xuemin.
"Master, it's getting late. Go back and rest. Leave this to me!"
Xiao Ran was also sleepy, but still a little worried.
"What about the restaurant?"
"Don't worry, Master. I've already made arrangements at the restaurant."
Xiao Ran was assured that Manager Guan was doing the job. He yawned, stood up and patted Manager Guan on the shoulder.
"Thank you for your hard work. I will come early tomorrow morning!"
"Yes, Master, take care!"
……
Early the next morning, Xiao Ran woke up suddenly, got up immediately, and asked Donglai to help him wash up.
After packing up, Xiao Ran took Donglai to buy a lot of supplements and food and went to the private residence of Manager Guan.
When Donglai arrived at Peng Xuemin's room, Peng Xuemin woke up just as he put his things down.
Seeing the unfamiliar environment, he propped himself up vigilantly, ready to fight.
Seeing this, Xiao Ran hurried to comfort her.
"Peng... Oh, no, the general should be older than me. I will just call you brother. Don't be afraid, brother. It's safe here. You can just rest and recuperate here!"
Peng Xuemin recognized Xiao Ran and recalled what happened last night, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.
Xiao Ran said, "Brother, lie down quickly and don't move. The doctor said that although your wound is not fatal, you have been delayed for too long and your body is hurt. You need to rest."
Peng Xuemin lay back down and said, "Thank you."
Xiao Ran waved his hand indifferently.
"You're welcome. Helping you is helping General Han. For someone like me who comes from a merchant family, it's my honor to be able to do something for you."
"I don't know your name, sir. When I see General Han in the future, I will report your good deeds to him truthfully."
Xiao Ran scratched his head with a silly smile.
"There's no need to let General Han know my humble name!"
"Sir, there's no need to be so humble. Please tell me your name."
Xiao Ran clasped his hands together and became serious.
"My name is Xiao Ran."
Peng Xuemin also clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Master Xiao!"
"Brother, you don't have to be so polite. For your own safety, you can't use your real name. You have to change your name and identity!"
"It's only right to avoid causing you any trouble."
Xiao Ran rubbed his chin, "Let me think about it!"
Dong Lai reminded from the side: "Master, isn't it time for the general to have breakfast?"
Xiao Ran then remembered, "Oh, yes, I brought some breakfast for you, brother. Eat it first. We will deliver three meals a day to you from now on. Don't worry!"
He asked Donglai to serve Peng Xuemin breakfast, and pointed to the food on the side and said, "Here are some cakes and other snacks. If you're hungry, you can have some to fill your stomach!"
"Brother Xiao, this is really thoughtful. Thank you!"
"You're welcome, big brother."
Donglai served Peng Xuemin breakfast. Xiao Ran and the others asked Peng Xuemin to have a good rest and then left.
The two went straight to Su Xiaoxiao's residence.
Su Xiaoxiao had just finished breakfast. Seeing Xiao Ran walk in, she asked in confusion, "Why are you so late today? Have you had breakfast?"
Xiao Ran would have breakfast with Su Xiaoxiao every day. Today, Xiao Ran came late, so Su Xiaoxiao naturally had to ask him a few questions.
Xiao Ran sat down next to Su Xiaoxiao and said with a slightly apologetic smile, "We haven't eaten yet. Is there any breakfast?"
Su Xiaoxiao frowned slightly and looked Xiao Ran up and down.
"You look so mean, I can tell you're up to no good. Tell me, what's going on?"
Xiao Ran leaned forward and his smile grew wider.
"Hehe, nothing can be hidden from your discerning eyes. You're truly amazing! However, what I did this time was a good thing, a big deal!"
As he said that, he looked at Donglai, "Right, Donglai?"
Donglai nodded vigorously and gave Xiao Ran a thumbs up, "Master, this is definitely it this time!"
Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and looked at the two of them in confusion.
"What good things have you done? You're so proud! Tell me about it!"
Xiao Ran sat down next to Su Xiaoxiao again, lowered his voice smugly, and whispered into Su Xiaoxiao's ear: "I saved General Peng Xuemin!"
"what?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Ran in surprise, "Really?"
"Of course! How could I lie about such a big thing!"
Then, Xiao Ran recounted the story of Peng Xuemin in detail.
Su Xiaoxiao frowned and thought.
"We really need to find him an identity!"
Xiao Ran imitated Su Xiaoxiao and frowned in thought.
"What kind of identity should we assign to him?"
After a moment's silence, Su Xiaoxiao said, "When his injury heals, let's go to the house I bought. We don't have any servants in the house yet, and I just bought some recently. I'll ask him to be a servant in my place first. That way, others will think he's a bought servant too. What do you think?"
Xiao Ran's eyes lit up.
“That’s a great idea!”
However, he thought of something and the light in his eyes faded a little.
"Would he agree to be a servant for a general?"
"It's an emergency, he probably won't mind."
"Okay, I'll talk to you later!"
After hearing this suggestion, Peng Xuemin agreed immediately.
The current situation is serious, and a real man should be able to bend and stretch.
Only by keeping your life, keeping your body healthy and having a safe place to stay can you accomplish your future plans.
Peng Xuemin recuperated in Guan's private residence for five days. Before his injuries were fully recovered, he came to the house bought by Su Xiaoxiao and worked as an ordinary servant, changing his name to Anxing.
In order to facilitate his recovery, Su Xiaoxiao asked Peng Xuemin to be the doorman first.
Every day he only needs to guard the gate, and he doesn't have to do other work in the house.
This not only reduces contact with other servants, but also allows him to have a separate room of his own, making it convenient for him to change medicine and recuperate.
After his injuries are fully healed and the government searches are less strict, he will find a way to leave Changming County.
After settling Peng Xuemin, Xiao Ran and Su Xiaoxiao gave Peng Xuemin some more instructions, and Xiao Ran pushed Su Xiaoxiao into the shop.
After more than half a month of rest, Su Xiaoxiao's calves were no longer swollen and looked no different from those of a normal person.
Su Xiaoxiao tried to push harder, but it didn't hurt anymore.
Su Xiaoxiao turned around and discussed with Xiao Ran.
"My legs should be fine now, how about I go out for a walk?"
Xiao Ran firmly opposed it.
"How can this be possible? It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. To prevent the root of the disease from forming, you must rest for a full hundred days!"
"what!"
"Ah what?! You have to listen to me on this matter!"
As they were talking, the two came into the shop. When Jiang Lanlan saw them coming back, she immediately ran over, looking a little anxious.
"You are finally back!"
"What happened?"
Xiao Ran and Su Xiaoxiao asked in unison.
