Chapter 1279 Famine and Natural Disaster 438

"Yiyi, long time no see."

Zhou Ting walked forward, took her hand naturally, and pulled the little girl into the screen without giving her a chance to refuse; he walked to the bedside, placed her on the bed, leaned over slightly to level his eyes with hers, observed her carefully for a while, and raised his hand to pinch the baby fat on her cheek.

"It's been pretty good in the camp. Look how well this little guy has grown."

"Snapped."

Slapping the mischievous hand, Mingyi said unhappily, "It's true that I've gained weight, but you've aged; you're so young, less than 20 years old, but you've aged like an old man."

Her words were somewhat exaggerated, but Zhou Ting showed no sign of being angry at her. Instead, she laughed heartily.

"Look at you, you can't talk anymore. Not only have you gained weight, but your temper has also gotten worse." He pinched her chubby face and saw with his own eyes that she was safe and sound. He felt comforted. "Don't be angry anymore. I didn't make my words clear. You were too thin before. Now you are just the right size. You look plump and cute."

"Shut up."

For women, no matter young or old, none of them would not mind others talking about their weight.

He became tougher after his trip outside and started to play with her as soon as he came back.

"Don't be angry, I won't say anything." But he couldn't bear to see her lose weight, so he had to avoid talking about weight in the future. He sat down beside her, held the little girl's hand tightly, and asked softly, "Tell me what you did during the few months I was away."

The tone was gentle and joyful, mixed with a bit of impatience.

During the few months he was away, he hadn't been by her side and didn't know about her specific changes; he was eager to know what she had done since he left, and wanted to understand everything he had never been involved in.

Zhou Ting gave in, Mingyi softened his attitude and took the step he gave him.

"What can you do in the military camp is nothing more than practicing medical skills and researching drugs. I also went back to Fucheng. As for the details, I won't tell you now. Chunxi will bring hot food and hot water over later. You should wash up and have a good meal, then have a good sleep. Everything will be discussed after you have rested."

"."

It's so uncomfortable to have him hanging in the air neither up nor down!

However, he was reluctant to continue asking. Anyway, he could ask the teacher after he had a good sleep.

While the two were talking, Chunxi brought people to bring hot water and hot food.

Mingyi heard footsteps and voices outside the tent and said loudly, "Put the hot food on the table and bring in the hot water."

"Here."

Chunxi heard a familiar voice and bowed at the entrance of the tent to answer. Then he led people to put the hot food on the table and carried the hot water into the screen.

Mingyi directed the people who carried water to put the buckets and basins in the corner; when washing, water would splash out, and if it was too close to the bed, it would easily make the bed wet, so it was better to stay as far away as possible.

"My dear lady, Master, the hot food is on the table outside. Remember to eat it promptly after you finish washing up. If it gets cold, it will not taste good and it will not be good for your health." Chunxi stood beside Mingyi and reminded her.

Mingyi nodded, "Let them go down first, and come in when we need you."

"Well, I'll take my leave."

Chunxi bowed to the two of them, then led a group of people who came to bring water and food around the screen and out of the tent.

There were only two of them left in the tent. Mingyi stood up and was about to go out. Zhou Ting grabbed her hand in time, "Yiyi, just wait for me outside and eat with me later." "Uh" Are you serious?

There is a difference between men and women. She is a little girl, already eight years old, at an age when men and women should not sit at the same table. What is the matter with her waiting outside?

"Okay?" Her first reaction was not to refuse, so Zhou Ting began to press on, looking at her pitifully with a slightly weathered and tired look.

Mingyi held her forehead, quickly broke free from his hand, and walked quickly out from behind the screen. Before leaving, she only said, "Hurry up and wash."

The hurried footsteps did not go far away, and seemed to stop near the long table outside. Zhou Ting carefully identified it for a moment, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, turned around and got clean clothes to wash up.

Mingyi sat down at the table, listening to the intermittent sound of water, her ears slightly red; her drooping eyelids trembled slightly, and her hands on the table were tightly clenched together. She had been through many worlds with him, and the time they had spent apart after becoming a couple was very rare. Even so, she was still embarrassed when she heard the suspicious sound of water in her ears.

After a long time.

The sound of water in the inner room gradually became smaller and disappeared.

Mingyi loosened her clenched hands imperceptibly and let out a breath.

Only a few moments.

Zhou Ting, neatly dressed and in a refreshing look, walked out of the inner room, walked around the screen and came to her side; he sat down beside her with confidence, and a clean and sunny breath wrapped around her for a few breaths. Mingyi turned her head to look at him, and her previous embarrassment involuntarily turned into ease under the influence of his breath.

"Yi Yi." A pair of deep eyes stared at her. They met again after a few months. She had grown up a little, and her features became more delicate. Even when wearing men's clothes, her beauty could not be concealed.

"Wash yourself up and you'll look a lot younger." As soon as she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at the covered dishes on the table, stretched out her hand and uncovered them one by one, "Eat your meal, and go to sleep when you're full. Your eyes are full of bloodshot. You're so young and you're already suffering, not taking care of your body. You're older than me, so you'll definitely age faster than me."

Zhou Ting couldn't help laughing, the little guy was speaking like an adult.

"I'll listen to Yiyi. I'll have a good rest when I get back, take care of my body, and try not to age faster than you."

Mingyi pursed her lips, not commenting on his words, but started to speak coaxing words without hesitation, and he became more and more smooth-talking.

"Eat quickly." She picked up the bowl and chopsticks and handed them to him.

"Okay." Zhou Ting glanced at her with tender eyes, holding the bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other. He took a bite and found that the dish was not bad, but it was not delicious either. The hunger in his stomach was relieved, and he couldn't help but eat faster.

He ate quickly, but still elegantly.

Ming Yi's eyes lit up with smiles. She accompanied him to finish the meal and said jokingly, "Life out there must be hard. I see you eat a lot faster. This time you went to Ningguo for a long time to fight. Is everything going well?"

"We suffered a great loss at the beginning, with more than 7,800 Northwest Army casualties. Now the Northwest Army does not even have 200,000 soldiers. Later, when we attacked the capital of Ningguo, with the help of your detoxification powder, hemostatic medicine, and 100-poison powder, the Ningguo Gu Masters could not do anything to us and successfully occupied the capital."

Zhou Ting spoke slowly and Mingyi listened carefully. Some details were glossed over by him, and Mingyi could imagine the difficulty at that time.

Ningguo's Gu Master is good at poisoning insects, and there are all kinds of poisonous insects that are hard to guard against. Even with the help of detoxification powder and hundred-poison powder, it would probably take a fierce battle to attack the enemy's capital.

"After losing so many people, how did you deal with Ningguo?"

"Kill the royal family! Execute the poison master!" The loss of so many people is a big blow to the currently sparsely populated northwest; recruiting more soldiers would also be a disaster for the people.

Mingyi frowned slightly, but relaxed in an instant. "The sacrificed soldiers should be compensated with adequate pensions, and the wounded soldiers should be settled. The army should slow down its recruitment. It just so happens that during this period, we have jointly raised a lot of food and wages with Steward Luo, which is enough to supply the entire Northwest Army for a year. You and the generals should be cautious about the recruitment."
