Chapter 1353 Famine and Natural Disaster 512
"Boss, please be more gentle when playing chess next time." Don't wait until you are old to regret it.

Ning Ru raised his eyes and glanced at him.

Ning Qing's eyes were slightly stunned. He was used to having a stern face and didn't know how to be gentle with his son. In the beginning, he raised Ning Yi the same way his father had raised him. So many years had passed, how could he change just because he wanted to?
After saying this, Mr. Ning never mentioned it again. He knew very well about habits. It was only when he was old that he realized that he owed his eldest son. He could not blame anyone else for his eldest son's lack of affection for him. He could only blame himself for having thought wrongly back then. He had made the wrong decisions for decades and now had to bear the consequences himself.

at night.

A bonfire was lit in the canyon, and the aroma of meat filled the air.

Mingyi was placed by Guard Yu to sit on a pile of weeds three meters away from the campfire. The pile of weeds was made of dry weeds collected from the canyon by Guard Yu and his men. She had a separate bunk bed, along with the four members of the Ning family, while the guards were scattered around the five of them.

She was in a place where there were the most guards around her.

"Madam Cheng, the meat is ready, please eat it while it's hot." Guard Yu brought over a roasted rabbit.

In the dim light, you can see that the rabbit meat is roasted well, golden brown, which makes you hungry at first glance.

"Did you find honey?" There was a smell of honey, sweet and sour.

She reached down and touched the roasted rabbit skewered on a branch. It was just taken off the grill and was still hot.

"Yes, they went into the mountains to hunt and found a small beehive, enough for us to have a meal." With so many people and so much roasted meat, a small beehive could barely meet their needs.

Mingyi nodded, "The honey barbecue is delicious, go back and have some."

After sending guard Yu away, Mingyi let the food cool down before eating.

Not to mention, the barbecue spread with honey has the unique sweetness of honey, and the slight sourness of honey is integrated; coupled with salt and other seasonings, the taste is unique and becomes more delicious the more you eat it.

After eating the meat, he would eat a piece of dry food to relieve the greasiness; people tend to feel sleepy after eating and drinking too much, and Mingyi is no exception.

The Ning family and Guard Yu were still eating. Mingyi yawned, washed his face and hands with clean water, lay down on the haystack and fell asleep.

The next day, it was just dawn.

She woke up from her sleep, her legs and feet felt a little sore, probably because she hadn't walked far for a long time and suddenly walked for most of the day.

"Madam Cheng, you're awake." Guard Yu came back from the canyon carrying a few water bags. Seeing Ming Yi pounding her legs, he understood, "Madam Cheng, can you still walk today?"

"I can walk!"

Mingyi continued to use his inner strength to massage the acupuncture points to dispel the aches and pains in his legs and feet.

Guard Yu said worriedly: "It doesn't matter if we can't leave. We can rest here for a day before moving on."

"I'm fine, just press it. Brother Yu, go and see how Grandpa Ning and the others are doing. Can they continue walking? If they can, they can continue after breakfast." The canal digging was urgent and a lot of time had already been wasted, leaving her with little time to rest. She was worried about the old man and the second son of the Ning family.

They were men of letters, and their bodies were not as strong as those who practiced martial arts; if she, a martial artist, felt uncomfortable, they must feel even more uncomfortable.

Guard Yu was also worried, so he said, "Okay, I'll go take a look."

"Thank you." Mingyi nodded and lowered his head to continue massaging the acupoints.

Guard Yu pursed his lips, respecting her ability and perseverance; Miss Cheng was stronger than many men, with a flexible mind and very smart. When it came to practical work, even a grown man like him was not as good as her. He turned around silently and came to where the Ning family members slept. The Ning family members had already woken up, and Ning Qing and Ning Ru were massaging the old man's legs.

"Grandpa Ning, Mr. Ning Da, Mr. Ning Er, and Young Master Ning, I know some techniques that can relieve the pain in your legs and feet. If you trust me, why not let me give Grandpa Ning a massage?" Ning Qing and the other three looked up at Guard Yu.

Guard Yu's eyes were firm and full of kindness.

A grateful smile appeared on Mr. Ning's kind face, "Thank you, Guard Yu."

"It doesn't matter."

Guard Yu squatted down and pulled Mr. Ning's legs. Considering the old man's old age and frailty, he only used 50% of his strength. Even so, Mr. Ning was in so much pain that sweat broke out on his forehead. After stimulating the acupoints, the pain in his legs was relieved, and Mr. Ning felt both pain and pleasure.

Happy and painful.

"Mr. Ning, please get up and walk around."

"well."

Guard Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling a little nervous; he knew how important Old Man Ning was, and that was why he was so careful when pressing the acupoints, fearing that he might hurt the old man.

However, he seemed to be trying a little too hard.

Mr. Ning's voice became weak and his breathing became unstable. He finally suffered a lot.

Ning Qing and Ning Ru helped Mr. Ning stand up and walk two steps. The pain in his legs and feet was greatly reduced. "You can walk now. Let go. I don't need your support anymore."

"Dad, please be careful." Ning Ru had no choice but to let go of his hand and let him go by himself.

Mr. Ning waved his hands repeatedly, "There's nothing to worry about. Brother Yu's technique is really good."

"As long as you feel better, we can set off as long as you are fine." Guard Yu did not take credit for it. With a faint smile on his face, he stated his purpose directly.

Old Master Ning laughed and said, "Come on, come on, eldest brother, second brother, pack up and follow us. Yi'er, you can also go over and help pack up."

"Yes, grandfather."

Ning Yi nodded and walked towards the busy guards.

Guard Yu wanted to stop him, but was stopped silently by Old Man Ning who was standing beside him. "Let him go. The child has grown up and should do his job. You don't have to worry about him. Is this technique of Brother Yu a unique skill?"

Old Master Ning was holding him back, unable to walk any further. Guard Yu stopped and talked to the old man.

"It's not a unique skill. Everyone in our guard team knows it. It's common to get leg cramps when you're too tired during training. This set of techniques can relieve it."

"That's a good method. The prince is so good to you." Grandpa Ning's words were not empty talk. Their family used to be an official family and they kept some guards as captives. He also saw how the powerful and wealthy treated the guards. They were not treated as human beings at all and were equivalent to slaves.

The guards of the aristocratic and powerful families are all trained by family sons who know their background well. Families without their background will not want them.

In this mode, guards are equivalent to slaves. How many masters are willing to make plans for them? Use them when they are useful, and don't use them when they are not useful. For those powerful people, human life is not life, and there are many useful people working for them.

"The prince is very kind to his subordinates and the common people. Old Master Ning, don't you know how wealthy Fucheng is? Every household in Fucheng, and even in the farms and villages surrounding Fucheng, has surplus money and food, and they live a good life."

Guard Yu fully agreed with what Mr. Ning said. The prince was very good to them.
