Jing Li really didn't know this: "Really?"

"..." Xiao Yue nodded with resentment, "Yes, leave it to me."

Qin Zhao wasn't being careless. Food and grass were scarce in the frontier, and the military camp couldn't rely solely on supplies from the rear. When there wasn't a fight going on, the soldiers had to farm and hunt themselves, trading with the locals for what they needed.

Although Xiao Yue was a general, he did a lot of these things.

"General Xiao is truly formidable, worthy of being the commander of the three armies."

Xiao Yue was very strong and plowed the field in a short time. As for Qin Zhao, he only needed to follow behind him to sow seeds and brag to him without any emotion.

Jing Li is now very skilled at farm work, but he is not as strong as Xiao Yue. He becomes out of breath after hoeing the fields for only a while.

The spring afternoon sun wasn't strong, but it still made one feel dizzy after being in it for too long, especially since they had been doing intense physical labor. Jing Li put down his hoe and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Wanting to make a living from farming...isn't that easy.

"Are you tired?" Qin Zhao walked behind him and handed him a kettle.

Jing Li took it and drank a sip, then shook his head: "Not tired."

Plowing the soil is the most physically demanding part of farming. Qin Zhao couldn't do it, so he had to ask Ah Qi and Jing Li to do it. Ah Qi had never done this kind of farm work before, but he knew kung fu and learned quickly, and his efficiency was not much worse than Xiao Yue's.

Compared with them, Jing Li's progress has fallen far behind.

It was he who originally proposed to reclaim land for farming, and he cannot just sit back and enjoy the results.

Jing Li was about to pick up the hoe and continue working, but was stopped by Qin Zhao.

"But I'm a little tired." The man looked at him with a soft gaze, a look of aggrieved. "And I feel dizzy."

Jing Li became anxious when he heard this: "Then I'll help you go to the side and rest for a while."

Qin Zhao: "Yeah."

There was a row of bamboos beside the ridge of the field. Jing Li carefully helped Qin Zhao walk under the bamboos and said, "Have you been exposed to the sun for too long? Do you want to go home first?"

The young man's cheeks were slightly red from the sun, and there was a layer of fine sweat beads on his forehead, but he didn't care about himself at all. His heart and eyes were full of Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao's heart softened when he saw this, and he took out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe his face.

Jing Li turned his head away and said, "Don't worry about me. How do you feel now? Are you still dizzy?"

"Dizzy." Qin Zhao remained calm, "Sit with me for a while."

"..." Jing Li finally realized that something was wrong, "Are you lying to me?"

This man's face is as rosy as usual. He has been in the sun for such a long time without breaking a drop of sweat. How can he look tired?

There is no intention of pretending when telling lies.

Qin Zhao didn't care about being exposed and pulled him to sit down: "I'm worried that you'll be tired."

"I'm not tired..." Jing Li muttered softly, but still sat down with Qin Zhao. He looked up and saw Ah Qi and Xiao Yue were still hoeing the fields in the distance. Even Xiao Yuzai was squatting on the edge of the field, throwing vegetable seeds into the soil.

He and Qin Zhao were slacking off here.

"You promised to be lazy and eat nothing in the future, and I'll support you. Why don't you keep your word?" Qin Zhao asked him.

Jing Li said, "That depends on you getting better soon. If General Xiao hadn't come to help us today, we would have had to do these farm chores for three days."

Qin Zhao nodded: "In that case, it's my fault."

Jing Li hummed softly.
