Chapter 217: Just One Sip is Enough



Deng Shuang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the person in front of him clearly in the moonlight, and fell to the ground with a pale face.

After taking two breaths, he looked at Qiu Shan and said, "Master Qiu Shan, are you going to beat me to death with a hoe?"

Qiu Shan was stunned and quickly put down his hoe. He touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, "Well, I thought you were a thief. Are you okay?"

Deng Shuang shook his head: "I'm fine, Mr. Qiushan don't mind it." Then he got up from the ground and continued to pick up the broken tiles.

"Are you here looking for candles?" Akiyama asked uncomfortably.

Deng Shuang nodded again, "Yeah! I heard the girl outside the tent asking for candles, so I came over to look for them."

"Aren't you afraid of earthquakes?" Qiushan raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

Deng Shuang paused, then immediately continued what he was doing. "I'm afraid, but the girl said that if you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to be afraid."

"Are you sure you can find a candle here?" Akiyama asked again.

"Yes, the girl asked me to take it before, and it's probably in this position."

"Then I'll help you look for it." After saying that, he put down the hoe and dug the broken tiles on the ground with Deng Shuang.

After a while, Deng Shuang pulled out a box and said, "Found it!"

"Are you sure?" Akiyama asked.

Deng Shuang opened the box, which was filled with candles. After closing the box, Qiu Shan picked it up first, then grabbed a bag of what must be rice and put it on his shoulder. "Let's go! Let's get out of here."

Deng Shuang didn't say anything, just walked out of the warehouse. When he reached the yard, he stopped and walked into another room.

Qiu Shan thought she wanted to get something, so he followed her. However, when he reached the door, Deng Shuang stopped him. "This is the girl's boudoir. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."

Qiu Shan paused, a blush spreading across his face, and he stepped back and said, "Hurry up and take whatever you want. This place is not safe."

Seeing that he really had no intention of going in, Deng Shuang turned and went into the room.

When he came out, he was holding a thick cloak in his hand. Then he walked to the next room.

When he reached the door, he hesitated for a moment before looking at Qiu Shan, "Master Qiu Shan, could you help me go in and get one of my master's thick cloaks?"

"Why don't you go by yourself?" Akiyama asked puzzled.

"My master said that men and women should not touch each other, and he usually doesn't let us touch his things." Deng Shuang blinked his beautiful almond eyes and looked at Qiu Shan with some pleading.

"What a trouble." Qiu Shan said with disdain, but still put down the sack on his shoulder and the candle box in his hand, and walked into Zhao Yiming's room.

After taking Zhao Yiming's thick cloak, and then taking Xiaokang and Xiaoqi's packed things and handing them to Deng Shuang, the two of them carried the things back.

As a result, as soon as I walked out of the hospital gate, I saw Deng Xue and Dashu who were about to go in.

The two sides looked at each other in surprise.

Dashu was the first to break the silence, frowning at Qiushan. "Qiushan, how could you come here? You're the only son in your family. What would your parents do if something happened?"

Qiu Shan lowered his head and muttered carefully, "Isn't it okay?"

Dashu was about to say something, but Qiushan quickly interrupted him with a smile, "Okay, okay, this won't happen again!"

While Dashu was scolding Qiushan, Dengxue was also scolding Deng Shuang. Unlike Qiushan's playful smile, Deng Shuang listened to the scolding seriously.

After helping the two of them take their belongings, the four of them returned to the camp. When the candles arrived, Tian An lit more than a dozen at once. With enough light, he asked Deng Xue to guard the tent before starting the operation.

As for the thick cloaks that Deng Shuang brought back, Xiaokang and Xiaoqi wore them, Tian An gave his to Grandma Qin, and Zhao Yiming's was kept there.

After Dashu and Qiushan retrieved the candles, they returned to the village. Following Uncle Lei, they carried back a number of wounded soldiers, some with injured arms, some with injured legs, and some...

Tian An was busy in the tent alone, burning out one candle after another. Even though his eyes were sore and swollen, he just took out two drops of eye drops from the space and continued to treat the wounded.

When the sky was just getting light, there were finally no more wounded people being sent in.

Tian An was extremely tired, so he found a place covered with hay, sat down on it, hugged his knees and fell asleep.

When Zhao Yiming came back, Tian An was nowhere to be found. After asking, he found out that she had spent the whole night treating the wounded in a makeshift medical tent.

Just as he was about to go find her, Mangzhong brought him a bowl of porridge. Knowing that the two masters hadn't eaten, they kept the porridge warm, waiting for them to eat whenever they were free. Unfortunately, Zhao Yiming didn't come back all night, and Tian An was busy all night.

"Has An An eaten yet?"

Just as Zhao Yiming brought the bowl to his lips, he heard Mangzhong say, "Miss, just as you were about to eat last night, Master Dashu and Master Qiushan came to bring the wounded, and you haven't been here since this morning."

"Last night?" Zhao Yiming was stunned. He was about to head to the medical tent when Deng Shuang brought him the thick cloak she had risked her life to bring from home.

Zhao Yiming took the bag and went to find Tian An with the porridge.

When they reached the door of the tent, Deng Xue heard some noise and raised her head, opening her bloodshot eyes. Seeing that it was Zhao Yiming, she did not stop him.

Zhao Yiming looked around the tent before he found Tian An, who was sleeping on the ground with his knees hugged.

He walked over lightly, put the porridge on the ground, opened his thick cloak, and was about to put it on her when she woke up.

"You're back? How's the situation in the village?" Tian An asked Zhao Yiming as soon as he saw him.

Zhao Yiming first put the cloak on her, then picked up the porridge on the ground and handed it to her, then sat next to her and told her about the situation in the village.

"Luckily, the earthquake happened at noon, so most people were busy in the fields. But the elderly who stayed at home... almost all of them were killed."

Tian An was stunned and stopped drinking porridge. The two were silent for a long time. After a while, Tian An asked Zhao Yiming: "Have you eaten?"

Zhao Yiming shook his head. “As soon as I got back, I heard that you were busy all night and hadn’t eaten, so I came to see you.”

Hearing this, Tian An was about to stand up and said, "I'll go get you a bowl of porridge first."

Zhao Yiming pulled her down to sit down, took a sip of the porridge in her bowl from her hand, and said, "You've been busy all night, take a good rest, one sip is enough for me."

Tian An stared at the porridge in the bowl, stunned for a long while before he pointed at the bowl and said hesitantly: "This, I have eaten."

"I know! I don't dislike you." Zhao Yiming said as a matter of course.

Tian An rolled his eyes almost to the sky, "No, why don't you ask me if I dislike you?"

But Zhao Yiming looked at Tian An with a pitiful expression like a little puppy: "Does An An dislike me?"

Wow, did Zhao Yiming take the wrong medicine? Tian An looked at him with horror, feeling that if he said he disliked him, he would cry for him.

But, this style of painting is not right! At this moment, Tian An really wanted to draw a tube of Zhao Yiming's blood to study whether he was being impersonated.
