Chapter 399 Don’t look at me like that anymore!
After leaving the city, the carriage headed south.
I didn’t feel anything before when I was staying in Guancheng, but now it seems that many fields outside Guancheng have become dry and cracked.
Every time she saw the people kneeling on the roadside begging, even though she knew that the people were the ones who suffered the most from natural disasters in ancient times, she could not save everyone by herself.
But my heart always feels heavy.
So, whenever she found the right opportunity, she would quietly release some water from the Immortal Palace Stream to moisten the fields, which always had a relieving effect.
What's more, one night, she manipulated the celestial order to bring about a heavy rainstorm within her ability!
The people were happy, but Zhu Mingqing fell into a coma for three whole days.
Now, they are staying in a restaurant in Zhending Prefecture, Jizhou.
After sending the doctor away, Jiang Feng returned to his room and breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, the fever is gone."
Luo Tingshan was also extremely grateful that he had followed her out, otherwise she would have fainted on the road and no one would have noticed.
When Zhu Mingqing woke up, he was greeted by this man's reproachful look.
She also knew what she had done. Perhaps it was because she had been here for a long time, and when she saw the ordinary people living in hardship, she couldn't help but feel pity.
"Lao Luo," she called out, "how many people do you have left?"
Luo Tingshan frowned and answered irrelevantly: "Whatever you want to do, just rest well these few days and do other things later."
Zhu Mingqing did not try to be brave. He learned from the little world spirit that there were still 60,000 people left before the fourth repair, and he would have a lot of trouble on the way.
Jiang Feng was stunned when he learned that his wife not only wanted various living things, but also planned to sell some meat at a low price.
If he didn't know the lady's character, he would have thought that those were bad meats. After all, if they were sold at a low price now, there would be almost no profit except for the cost.
"Madam, where are the goods?" Knowing that he couldn't stop it, Jiang Feng simply stopped asking. He just wanted to know where the tens of thousands of pounds of meat came from.
Zhu Mingqing's health has improved a lot. The fastest way she can think of to gain favor is to sell the cheap pork directly or to cooperate with the government to make preserved egg and lean meat porridge.
Jiang Feng felt that the lady was just too rich. There was no way they could possibly save so many people.
Before going to bed at night, Jiang Feng stood in front of his master and said hesitantly, "Master, don't you think it's a little strange that Madam is doing this?"
I always feel like the money is blowing in like a strong wind.
Luo Tingshan put his hands behind his head and thought about Ming Qing's actions in recent days. He had reason to suspect that the purpose of her coming out this time was for these things.
But as Jiang Feng said, this is very different from her previous character of not giving up until she sees the rabbit.
Although he couldn't figure it out, Luo Tingshan had no intention of delving into it.
"Just do it!"
Jiang Feng sighed and was very confused.
If you have that money, you might as well use it to prepare for future uprisings.
However, when it comes to doing things, he is very decisive. After all, Zhu Mingqing spends a lot of money.
That day, the group arrived at the border of Jizhou and Yuzhou. Zhu Mingqing also recognized that this was the place where they were returning to Xiao Ping'an.
At night, everyone set up tents and built bonfires.
The aroma of barbecue wafted in the air. Jiang Feng looked at the two people talking closely not far away, thinking that he had finally lived up to the Third Young Master's kindness.
It’s no wonder that the relationship between the lady and the master has become noticeably closer after this trip.
Luo Tingshan handed the barbecue to Zhu Mingqing: "It's cooked to perfection, eat it."
Zhu Mingqing took it naturally. Seeing that he was still moving his hands, he slowly asked, "I'm going south next. Are you still coming with me?"
Luo Tingshan: "Of course. I've been too busy in the past, so I can take this opportunity to go out and see the beautiful scenery of Nanxia."
Zhu Mingqing mocked, "Then you'll probably be disappointed. Along the way, there have been countless starving people, and there will surely be more in the future."
Hearing this, Luo Tingshan's expression darkened slightly. He really hadn't expected the situation outside the city walls to be so bad.
Those people in the court are only concerned with fighting for power and profit, and they don't even bother to pay attention to ordinary people.
If this situation continues, Southern Xia will be in danger.
"Anyone with eyesight can clearly see the situation in Nanxia." Zhu Mingqing finished his barbecue, resting his hands on his chin, and looked at the shining starry sky. "Guancheng is not a safe place either. How are your preparations going?"
Luo Tingshan knew what she was asking and remained silent.
"Forget it, if you don't want to talk about it, then forget it." Zhu Mingqing clapped her hands. She would definitely not give up anyway.
"I can't say anything without being fully prepared. Please forgive me!" Luo Tingshan suddenly turned his eyes and said sincerely.
Thinking of this person’s miserable experience, I am also afraid of being cheated.
"Good boy!" Zhu Mingqing patted his head. "Then prepare yourself well. I'll be waiting for the day when you can take revenge."
"What about you? Why are you offering food at low prices or even for free?"
After finally asking the question in his mind, Luo Tingshan felt his heart beating in his throat.
Why am I so nervous? There is even sweat on my forehead.
Zhu Mingqing smiled: "Secret!"
Luo Tingshan laughed out loud. Well, who doesn’t have secrets in their heart?
When he woke up the next day, the weather was fine. Before breakfast, Zhu Mingqing started his daily acupuncture practice.
"I've been having the acupuncture for seven days in a row, but do you still only feel it in the morning?" she asked.
Luo Tingshan nodded slightly: "It may take some time."
After finishing, Zhu Mingqing put away all the silver needles and suggested, "Why don't we go find another doctor to check it out?"
She really had no confidence in her medical skills, but Luo Tingshan gave her 100% trust.
It makes her feel like she has an illusion now. Could it be that medical technology has really improved?
Luo Tingshan slowly put down his robe: "No need..."
"Wait!" Zhu Mingqing suddenly crossed his hands and circled his calves.
The moment their skin touched, Luo Tingshan's heart skipped a beat and his ears turned red.
"What... is wrong?" He lowered his eyes and looked at the woman who was squatting in front of him. Her black hair was clearly visible and fluttering in the wind. He could faintly smell a pleasant fragrance.
Like elegant jasmine and morning dew, fresh and charming.
The sudden tightness in the calf startled him awake.
Luo Tingshan came back to his senses and found that the other party was measuring the circumference of his calf.
"Your calves seem to be getting fatter?"
Zhu Mingqing kept his hands still and looked up, just in time to meet those deep and clear eyes. Only then did he realize that Luo Tingshan's eyes were really beautiful.
It's rare to use the word "beautiful" to describe a man's eyes, but when those eyes look at you, it's as if you are the center of his eyes.
As the saying goes, it is the kind of look that makes you look at a dog with deep affection.
"You said you've gained weight, so maybe you have gained weight." Luo Tingshan looked at the other person as if it was no big deal.
Zhu Mingqing swallowed unconsciously!
I knew this man was handsome before, but why is it that the more I look at him now, the more I feel attracted to him?
She shook her head, let go and scolded: "Don't you dare look at me like that again!"
Luo Tingshan's eyes were bright and his aura was so strong that it seemed to be able to penetrate everything. His voice, slightly hoarse, rang out:
"So what do you think of me?"
