chapter 37

The old military doctor said very kindly, "Little girl, if you are afraid, you can close your eyes."

Ru Huahua subconsciously swallowed her saliva, and forced her respect, "I'm not afraid."

"Don't worry, it won't hurt." The old military doctor pinched the needle, carefully found the acupuncture point, and prepared to administer the needle.

Ru Hua wrinkled her small face.

What a liar.

How could such a long needle not hurt when pierced into the flesh?
She didn't speak, her whole body was tense, her eyes were tightly closed, at the moment when the old military doctor was about to give an injection, she turned her head and buried her head firmly in Zhong Liting's arms beside her, "Brother!"

After a while, I didn't feel the expected acupuncture pain.

Zhong Liting froze there, paused, and then gently touched her head, "Child? Are you ashamed? Go out and don't say that I taught you."

The old military doctor smiled and said kindly, "The girl is still young, so the major general doesn't have to be too strict."

Ru Huahua turned her head and retorted to the two of them in a low voice, "I'm not young anymore."

As Huahua said, she carefully lowered her eyes.

The long needle held in the old military doctor's hand had actually pierced into a certain place in her hand. It was tingling, numb, and a little sore, but it was not painful.

It really doesn't seem to hurt.

Ru Huahua blinked her eyes and looked up at Zhong Liting.

Zhong Liting sneered and let go of her, "Coward, I told you that it doesn't hurt anymore."

Ru Huahua sticks out her tongue a little embarrassedly, and obediently cooperates with the military doctor in administering the acupuncture.

After acupuncture and moxibustion, the military doctor was sent away. Zhong Liting watched her eat the porridge, tucked her quilt, and said, "Be honest and sleep, if you still feel uncomfortable, tell me."

Seeing that Zhong Liting was about to get up and go out, Ru Huahua stretched out her hand and gently grabbed his sleeve, and looked at him without blinking her deer eyes.

Zhong Liting lowered his eyes, looking at her childish appearance, not only a little funny, "Why, kid, do you want my brother to sing you a lullaby?"

Ruhuahua: "Brother, I'm sick."

Zhong Liting looked at her, "And then?"

Ruhuahua: "Sing me a lullaby." She said, staring at Zhong Liting pitifully with her wet eyes.

Zhong Liting snorted and laughed, "...you have learned how to advance a thousand miles by an inch."

"What is an inch and a thousand miles?"

Zhong Liting said casually: "Others are making progress, but you are leaping thousands of miles."

Ruhua pursed her lips and sat up, "I don't, brother said it just now..."

"What are you thinking, you don't understand my irony?" Zhong Liting shrugged noncommittally, "Sleep obediently, don't dream during the day, it's impossible in this life."

Lullaby?
It would be impossible for him to sing such a motherly thing in this life.

Ruhuahua looked at him pitifully, her eyes were watery, as charming as a newborn deer.

Zhong Liting raised his hand and pushed the man back, and covered the quilt, "...I will wait here for you to fall asleep at most."

Ru Huahua grinned: "Okay."

The appearance of quick compromise made Zhong Liting suspect that her purpose in the beginning was not a lullaby at all.

But now that you have agreed, you can't leave.

Zhong Liting didn't go out again, got up and went to the bookcase at the back to pick out a military book, pulled the top chair over, made a cup of tea, and sat on the opposite side of her bed to read a book.

He was probably sick too, and knowing that the cold might be contagious, he still accompanied the child to mess around here.

Ruhuahua lay sideways on the bed, staring at him, looking for nothing to say, "What are you looking at, brother?"

Zhong Liting set up the cover of the book and showed her a glance, and said leisurely, ""The Six Secret Teachings of the Grand Duke".

When Zhong Liting read the title of the book, Ruhuahua subconsciously drilled a line of words in her mind. She opened her mouth and asked in doubt, "Wen Tao, Wu Tao, Long Tao, Hu Tao, Bao Tao, and Gou Tao?"

Zhong Liting sat up straight all of a sudden, and glanced at her, "Have you seen it?"

Ru Hua answered blankly.

She knew very well in her heart whether she had read this military book here.

But when she heard the title of the book, something jumped out of her mind subconsciously.

Zhong Liting raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Do you understand? Tell you about it?"

Ru Huahua looked at him with open eyelids, Zhong Liting casually picked out an article from it and told her about it.The more Ruhuahua listened, the more sleepy she became, her upper and lower eyelids began to fight, and they sank after a while.

Zhong Liting closed the book in his hand, got up and walked to the side of the couch, bent down and touched her forehead.

The forehead is still a little hot.

Before he could remove his hand from her forehead, Ruhuahua struggled to open a slit of her eye, forced herself to glance at him, and soon her eyelids were slowly closed under heavy sleepiness, her mouth Still unwilling to murmur: "Brother..."

As soon as her eyelids were closed, she opened them again abruptly, struggling to look in his direction from the vague drowsiness, as if to confirm whether he had left.

"I'm not leaving." Zhong Liting patted her on the back lightly, "Go to sleep."

The familiar voice and caress made people feel at ease, and Huahua's spirit gradually relaxed, and she murmured a vague "um", until her spirit was dragged into the darkness by sleepiness, she murmured "brother".

The voice was soft and vague, and it was almost submerged in the air as soon as it was uttered.Fortunately, it was quiet enough in the tent, and the whispering sound spread and disappeared in people's ears.

What a kid.

Zhong Liting slightly hooked his lips and smiled.

Zhong Liting didn't come out of the tent until she was completely asleep.

Ru Huahua slept extremely deeply this time, and she didn't wake up from the bed until the afternoon, wrapped in sticky hot sweat.

When she woke up, she heard the faint sound of water coming from the tent.

The sound of water?

Ru Hua blinked, and quietly sat up from the bed.

The sound of water seemed to be coming from the other side of the screen.Ruhuahua rubbed her eyes, quietly got off the couch with bare feet, and raised her legs to go around the other side of the screen.

As soon as she reached the corner of the screen, her footsteps stopped.

In the direction originally blocked by the screen, the young man's vigorous figure turned his back to this side, with his upper body bare, wearing only a pair of black trousers and soap locust boots.He held a long handkerchief in his hand, wet it carelessly in the tub in front of him and wrung it, then raised his head slightly, and wiped his arms down his neck.

The unwrung water droplets on the long handkerchief rolled up the broad back along the muscle texture of the raised arms, and then slid along the back all the way to the lower back, and finally slowly sank into the lower garment.The young man's shoulders were broad but his waist was narrow. The black silk ribbons wrapped around his waist, completely stuck above his hip bones. His majestic but not exaggerated muscles were filled with just the right sense of strength.

Ru Huahua was a little curious, and looked at Zhong Liting's back without blinking her eyes.

As if he had finished wiping his upper body, Zhong Liting threw the handkerchief back into the wooden basin, and with his fingers down, he slowly hooked the black silk sash around the waist of his trousers...
