Chapter 1363 Famine and Natural Disaster 522
Not wanting to just sit there and watch them eat, Mingyi stood up and said, "Grandpa, you eat first. I'll go for a walk outside."

"Guard Yu and the others haven't come down yet. Please call Guard Yu before going out." Old Master Ning was worried. How could he feel at ease with a little girl walking outside?
Ming Yi said, "No need to call them. I'm pretty good at running. This town seems pretty peaceful. I'll just go for a walk on the street outside. It's fine."

"Then be careful."

"I know. Enjoy your meal, old man. I'll take my leave first."

Mingyi walked away.

Old Master Ning looked at her back as she walked out of the restaurant, feeling uneasy, so he said, "Yier, go find Guard Yu and tell him that Madam Cheng has gone out."

"Okay, grandson will go now."

Ning Yi put down his chopsticks, stood up and went to the second floor of the restaurant.

Ning Qing and Ning Ru were quite calm. Ning Ru even peeled an egg for the old man. "Don't worry, Dad. Madam Cheng knows her limits. Besides, her kung fu is really good."

Old Master Ning shook his head. "She is a girl after all. She should be taken care of."

After the old man said this, they stopped trying to persuade him.

Ning Yi walked to the room where Guards Yu and Li lived and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock knock."

"Who!?"

"It's me, Ning Yi."

Guards Yu and Li in the room looked at each other. After a glance, Guard Li walked to the door and opened it. Seeing that it was Ning Yi, he asked in confusion.

"What business does Young Master Ning have with us?"

Ning Yi said, "Guard Li, Madam Cheng just went out."

"Did Cheng go out?" Waiter Li lowered his voice subconsciously, fearing to alarm the people in the next guest room.

When you are away from home, your master's affairs should not be known to others, especially strangers.

"Yes, he just went out and said he wanted to go for a walk in the street."

Guard Li clenched his fist and turned back to say, "Brother Yu, the young lady has gone out. We must hurry and follow her."

"Let's go."

Guard Yu came out of the house with two big swords in his hands. He hung one on his waist and handed the other to Guard Li.

Guard Li took it easily, and the two of them thanked Ning Yi before striding downstairs and rushing out of the restaurant like a gust of wind.

Old Master Ning shook his head and laughed, "Mrs. Cheng is young after all, she likes to play and be lively."

"Yes! However, Madam Cheng has a special status in the palace, and the guards who protect her are all good fighters." Ning Ru agreed very much, "They respect Madam Cheng very much, and can be said to obey her in everything. Madam Cheng's status in their hearts is equal to that of a real master."

Along the way, I have seen how they acted. That group of guards valued Cheng Mingyi's life more than any of their own.

From this point of view, it can be seen that Madam Cheng is no ordinary person.

Can a girl who can gain the genuine respect of a group of guards be a simple girl?
"Mrs. Cheng deserves their respect." Old Master Ning concluded.

Ning Ru nodded as well, he was also respectful.

She is well-educated, well-spoken, and has a sense of propriety. As a girl, she has a heart for the country and the people, and has done more than even the men of Ling. "Dad is right. Madam Cheng is indeed worthy. No wonder the prince of Zhou thinks so highly of her. If our family can produce a girl with such ability, it would be amazing." Unfortunately, she is not a girl from their Ning family. "I don't know what kind of family can raise such a beautiful girl."

Old Master Ning felt the same way, but he stopped talking about Ming Yi; it was inappropriate for a man to keep talking about a girl, which was ungentlemanly.

on the street.

There are few stalls on both sides. There is only one stall selling a certain kind of food or gadget, and there is no competitor at all.

Mingyi looked all the way but didn't see anything he liked. Just as he was about to turn a corner and walk along the street to the other end, he saw a man in a coarse blue shirt squatting at the back of the stall, with some lumps of earth in front of him.

Looks like potatoes.

She had seen potatoes while fleeing from famine, but she had eaten them all along the way; she did have some in her space, but she had no idea where they came from.

God help me too.

"Sir, what are you selling?" She walked up with brisk steps, squatted in front of the stall, and poked a lump of earth on the edge with pretended curiosity.

A poke knocked off some of the sand on the surface.

The man waved his hands and said honestly, "I am not a gentleman, ladies, please don't call me that; the food on my stall is edible and can fill your stomach. Just cook it and add some salt and you can eat it."

"Really?" Mingyi picked up a clod of earth and turned it over and over.

The man noticed that her clothes did not look like those of an ordinary family, and wondered why she asked this, nor did he expect her to buy anything. Anyway, he had been sitting there for an hour and no one had come to ask about her, so it would be nice to chat with her.

"It's delicious boiled, grilled or roasted."

"I'd like to try it."

Mingyi was just about to ask about the price when she heard a scream and was forced to stop. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Guards Yu and Li.

"Madam Cheng, your subordinates have finally caught up with you. Why didn't you call your subordinates when you went out? If anything happens to you, how are you going to explain to the master?" Guard Li finished his breath while holding his breath, and quickly turned around to breathe.

Guard Yu was better. While Guard Li was speaking, he had taken a deep breath and was just about to continue what Guard Li was saying.

"Madam Cheng, what are you doing with these lumps of earth?" Guard Yu looked puzzled, and looked at the lumps of earth on the stall again; then he looked at the stall owner, an honest farmer, and said, "Madam, do you want these lumps of earth?"

"I heard this thing is edible, great, I'll take it home and try it. I haven't eaten it yet, so I don't know how it tastes."

As soon as Ming Yi finished speaking, Guard Yu pursed his lips, thinking that she had been fooled. However, because he was the master, he could not say it too obviously.

"My dear, how about we buy two to try?" Even if we buy all of them, a sack would weigh 50 kilograms. How long would it take to finish them?
"Buy them all and take them away."

Guard Yu found her stubbornness very strange; she was not a stubborn person, but she was so persistent that Guard Yu gritted his teeth and asked about the price.

"Brother, can you really eat this?"

"Yes, our whole family has eaten it. It's edible and tastes pretty good." The man nodded repeatedly. Seeing the hope of selling it, his eyes became eager.

It's not that I did this on purpose, but I know this thing is not easy to sell; now that someone wants them all, I can't help but be excited.

"Is this grown in your home?" Guard Yu had never seen this thing before, but he felt it looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

The man shook his head. "I didn't grow them. I found them in the mountains. After I found they were edible, I dug them all up and took them home. Eating lumps of earth every day is not a good idea, and my children at home don't have enough food. That's why I thought of bringing them out to try. If I can sell them for some money, I can buy some pig fat to make oil at home, so that the children can have some meat."

The second update is here~~~It's October 1st, and it's a new month. I don't know when I can finish it o(╯□╰)o. The framework was too big at the beginning, and it was difficult to finish it.
