Fortunately, there were still many mushrooms by the lake, so he could only take a step back.

By dusk, their group had already dug up two big baskets.

Old man Xia, who was in charge of the kitchen, didn't know how to eat this food, so Lu Qing taught him how to cook. Lu Qing, however, forgot that during this period of time, the main course of cooking was just stewing and roasting vegetables, so she couldn't help but feel dejected.

That night, Lu Qing ate a bowl of lamb stew with mushrooms very gloomily. The taste was very strange. However, the soldiers were eating with relish. They hadn't eaten any vegetables for many days.

Even Yu Mingchuan seemed to have a big appetite. It was unknown if it was because of the salt or the mushrooms.

Lu Qing couldn't help but feel pity for these people, thinking that in the twenty-first century, if she couldn't eat anything delicious, she could capture all of them with just a hot pot.

Sigh, I better find a time to make some tofu for myself and find a blacksmith to cook for me.

After returning home that night, Yu Mingchuan continued to help Lu Qing wash up. Lu Qing was too lazy to fight back, so she just treat it as being served.

This person seemed to be quite nice apart from this strange habit. He didn't give her any killing intent for the past two days. He looked very calm … Satisfaction.

Yes, satisfaction, especially when you bathe her.

"Yu Mingchuan, can I join your morning training?"

Lu Qing had inadvertently caught a glimpse of those military men practicing their weapons this morning, causing her hands to itch. She currently ate a lot every day and lacked exercise. She estimated that she would turn into a pig after a winter.

The hand that was rubbing Lu Qing's knee paused for a moment before continuing. "Teach me your fist art first."

Lu Qing turned around from the water and faced Yu Mingchuan. Looking at such a perfect face and muscles, she still blushed a little.

"Sure, and I won't stay here for free. Can you share some with me? I want to dig up some mushrooms, maybe I can get some other food."

Yu Mingchuan stared at Lu Qing for a while and then lifted his leg up to prevent her from falling back into the barrel. Then he nodded.

"I won't give you the soldiers here for now. Only Faang Jiming will follow you. However, Nong Wu Steel should be happy to bring people to dig with you. I'll leave this matter to Faang Jiming."

Saying that, Yu Mingchuan's finger started to move across Lu Qing's face, especially towards her eyebrows. He rubbed them back and forth, not tiring at all.

Lu Qing always felt that one day her eyebrows would be bald, it was just that their eyebrows were rather similar. Was there a need to be so fond of each other? This must be a form of narcissism...

"From now on, be sure to protect yourself with those soldiers. You are Han Shuo's older brother, my janitor."

Lu Qing nodded, she understood that this was to protect her. If Shi Hu's men came looking for her, then her identity would not be a widow, nor would it be Yu Mingchuan's wife, but rather a personal soldier called Han Bai. This would greatly reduce the amount of attention the other party would pay to her.

Initially, she thought of this idea to temporarily fool others. She didn't expect Yu Mingchuan to help her cover her back. This was something she was very satisfied about.

This also made Lu Qing believe Yu Mingchuan's words. He was trying to scare her that day, probably because she took Zhang Mao's gold and this person was trying to trick her.

At night, the two slept together. Yu Mingchuan hugged Lu Qing. Since Lu Qing couldn't struggle at all, she let him be. Since Yu Mingchuan was relying on a warm stove to sleep, this winter was not that hard to bear.

The next day, Faang Jiming accompanied Lu Qing to the Hechang City. Hearing Lu Qing's words, Nong Commandant and Feng Yi happily agreed. They immediately sent four people to pull an ox-cart to leave with Lu Qing.
