Are his precious disciple's hands meant for carrying sandbags? That's utter nonsense!
Hua Zhenghe glared angrily at Liu Shiguo, thinking that this kid made his good disciple do hard labor as soon as he arrived, which was worse than that simple-minded boy!
So he ignored Liu Shiguo and rushed towards the dam. When he saw his good disciple diligently passing sandbags there, he was furious.
Unexpectedly, Liu Shile also saw him from afar and said sweetly, "Master, what brings you here? Have you finished your work over there?"
What could Hua Zhenghe say when he saw his apprentice, whose face was covered in clumps like a cat's but who was smiling sweetly at him?
I can only spoil the apprentice I chose!
He glared at her and said irritably, "So you still remember I'm your master? Why didn't you think of me when you came here? Show me your hand!"
Seeing his apprentice like this, he felt both heartache and anger. Her hands were so nimble; what if she hurt them doing such rough work?
He had no idea that Liu Shile had also learned painting and embroidery. If he had known, he probably wouldn't have been able to contain himself. After all, which of these skills doesn't require delicate and nimble hands?
Liu Shile knew perfectly well what her master meant.
She knew that her hands were indeed very important to her, but these things wouldn't cause her any harm, and that's why she came.
If it would harm herself, Liu Shile would never do it. There are other ways to repay her elder brother's kindness, and there's no rush.
So she said with a smile, "Master, I'm fine, don't worry. Go back and rest. Oh, by the way, Master, come here for a moment, I have something to tell you."
She hadn't expected to be passing the sandbags, so she hadn't made any arrangements for meals. Now that her master had arrived, it was just in time; it would be the same if her master went to Master Du's place to get the food.
Hua Zheng was incredibly frustrated upon hearing this. Who was he doing this for? Wasn't it all for this foolish apprentice?
Well, now Old Master Hua is protecting his own apprentice, but he can't bear to refuse her, so he came over. And then what did he hear?
This girl actually had someone cook for her!
Her master is still here, so how did she end up having someone else cook for her?
However, when she said she couldn't bear to make herself suffer, she felt a warmth in her heart. She rolled her eyes at him before agreeing.
Liu Shile had no choice. She didn't know many people here, and she didn't have anyone reliable to help her. She had originally planned to go and get it every day, but now she couldn't leave.
Now we can only let our master know. Luckily, she didn't keep it all to herself this time and prepared some for her master as well. It's okay if her master finds out now.
Hua Zhenghe really wanted to ask the girl where all those good things came from, but thinking about the girl's special circumstances, he secretly shook his head.
This is the disciple's secret, and he, as the master, should not ask. If she wants to tell him, she will tell him herself. If she doesn't want to tell him, asking will only ruin the relationship between the disciple and the master.
"Alright, I really can't do anything with you, little girl." Hua Zhenghe finally nodded, but before he left, he heard his apprentice say that he could brew some herbal soup for the soldiers.
Looking at the resolute faces and the hopeful eyes of his obedient apprentices, Hua Zhenghe thought about the medicinal herb inventory and nodded, "Alright, I'll go back and take care of it. I really can't do anything with you."
After saying that, Hua Zhenghe didn't linger and left in a hurry. This matter was somewhat difficult, after all, there were many people here who needed the medicinal herbs.
However, if, as the apprentice suggested, we were to brew some medicinal soup to strengthen the body's foundation and nourish the source of energy for the comrades who are fighting every day, it would be able to solve the problem at its root.
While it may not solve everything, it can prevent problems from arising, thus protecting the soldiers' health. Therefore, he tried his best to make this happen after returning home.
His prestige was undeniable, and coupled with his clear explanation of the pros and cons, it made everyone feel that his arguments were reasonable.
From that day on, the soldiers could not only drink some brown sugar ginger soup every day, but also a bowl of medicinal soup.
To be honest, after drinking this soup, I felt full of energy. Well, that was actually just their illusion, but the warm feeling all over their body was real.
Then, Liu Shile was delighted to find that her farm had leveled up twice in just one day!
Think about how she worked hard farming for almost a year, and only leveled up seven or eight times, but now...?
Each level requires so much more experience than the previous one, yet she leveled up 2 levels in just one day. What does that even mean?
It's faster than a rocket!
Liu Shile watched her farm upgrade with great satisfaction, but she didn't neglect her work at the same time.
That evening, as the dam was nearing completion, Liu Shile sensed something unusual.
She hadn't felt this way in a long time, so Liu Shile became very alert and began to observe her surroundings.
This observation actually revealed some clues to her. She quietly observed their movements and discovered that they actually wanted to cause trouble!
She almost exploded with anger. This dam was something they had worked so hard to build; how could she let them destroy it so easily?
But right now she only feels that those people are acting strangely, but she has no evidence. If she were to shout it out now, she doubts no one would believe her.
In the dim light, seven or eight people were at work. This time, their mission was to sabotage the soon-to-be-repaired and raised dam.
Their faces were cold and ruthless, but each of them acted methodically according to plan.
It was the early hours of the morning, a time when everyone was most likely to feel sleepy, making it the easiest time for them to get to work.
Especially at this time, everyone is tired and sleepy. Even the most alert person, after being tired for so long, is almost exhausted and it is really not easy to notice their movements.
Seeing that they had taken out their weapons, Liu Shile no longer hesitated and threw a few stones. The heart-wrenching screams woke everyone from their sleep.
Liu Shile wasn't some great person, but at that moment, she quickly rushed forward and subdued the men. Then, stepping on them and raising her chin slightly, she asked in a low voice, "Who are you? What are you trying to do by sneaking in here?"
Liu Shile had absolutely no intention of keeping her achievements hidden, even though she could have become famous openly and honestly.
Just kidding. This world will value political image a lot in the future. Why would she hide something that would kill several birds with one stone?
The noise instantly woke up everyone, who were exhausted. When they saw the mess on the ground, their expressions changed.
They couldn't handle the matter, so they reported it directly to Commander Zhou, who then ordered them to be arrested and interrogated.
As for Liu Shile, who discovered and subdued the suspected 'enemy agent,' he was also taken away by Commander Zhou to learn about the situation.
Liu Shile told the whole story without reservation, and finally said embarrassedly, "Boss, I... I just saw them acting suspiciously and carrying weapons, so I rushed up in a moment of excitement."
