Chapter 17: The General Returns

Mo Li yawned a few times in the dim light, but he really didn't want to move, so he lay on the square table, wanting to squint for a while and then continue. Who knows, this squint really fell asleep.

When Murong Chu entered the big tent with a cool body, he saw a small figure, lying on the square table with his head tilted, one arm under his head, and the other drooping on the side of the futon, with a book in his hand.

I haven't seen it for more than a month, and although the little face is still a little thin, it is a little fuller and rudder than before. Because of the side pressure of the face, the cherry pink mouth pursed slightly, and occasionally sipped a few times.

Mo Li hadn't fallen asleep in the first place, but the cool breeze brought in when Murong Chu lifted the curtain and came in made her feel a chill, and she sneezed violently, but she woke herself up.

Rubbing her nose, as soon as she opened her eyes, she felt a dark shadow in front of her, which startled her in a daze: "Ah!"

This sudden scream frightened Murong Chu into taking a step back, and frowned unhappily: "What's it called!" ”

"It's you!" When he saw that the person on the other side was Murong Chu, Mo Li stroked his chest and calmed his heartbeat, "I'm scared to death...... Ay? How did you get back? ”

Murong Chu's face darkened: "This is General Ben's big tent." ”

"I know it's your big tent, I mean, why didn't you come back without saying hello."

"Do you still have to report to you on General Ben's itinerary?"

Mo Li sighed, why can't this man speak well? Forget it, the official level crushes people to death, and besides, people are bigger than themselves, I don't know how many levels.

After adjusting her mood, Mo Li put on a smiling face: "Has the general had dinner?" Do you want me to go to the kitchen and ask Uncle Qiao to get something to eat? ”

Murong Chu just said "um" and strode towards the back tent.

"Hey, did you eat or didn't eat?" Mo Li called out to the back that was fading away. What does "um" mean? Did you eat it, or did you agree to go to the kitchen yourself? At this moment, she really regretted asking the two questions together.

"Go ahead." Two words were thrown in a deep voice, so that Mo Li could finally stop hesitating......

When she returned to the big tent with the food box, Murong Chu had already changed into a cyan dark pattern robe, and sat in front of Fang Ji by candlelight, reading the travelogue that she had thrown on the ground before.

"You like to read these kinds of books?" Murong Chu folded the book on the futon on his side and put it away, and raised his eyes to look at Mo Li, who was placing the tableware.

"It's okay," Mo Li replied casually, "Most of your bookshelves are military books, and I don't understand them very well." There are only a few history books and travelogues, and I have read them several times. ”

"Can you see it?"

"Reluctantly, I can probably understand the meaning."

"Do you know all the words?"

"Most of them recognize, guess what they don't know, and ask Mu Qingyun if they can't guess."

Hearing her call Mu Qingyun's name, Murong Chu felt inexplicably unhappy, have they been familiar to this extent now?

"Don't show General Ben's book to anyone else!"

Mo Li looked at someone who was fine just now and suddenly darkened his face, and felt inexplicable: "Is the general trying to tell me that I can't read your books anymore in the future?" ”

"When did General Ben tell you that you couldn't see it? You can see it, but you are not allowed to take out a big account. ”

"Got it, then next time there are words I don't know, I'll copy them down."

"No way!"

"Hey, General, you are unreasonable, and the words in the book were not made by you, and they are not only in your book, why are you not allowed to copy them?"

"General Ben said no, it just can't!"

"Forget it, I won't read your books in the future." Mo Li didn't want to fight with him anymore, so she put the dishes and chopsticks down in front of him, "General, hurry up and eat." ”

Looking at Mo Li's expression of swallowing his anger, Murong Chu's face turned slightly: "In the future, if there are words you don't know or something unclear, you can ask General Ben." ”

Hey? Mo Li blinked and looked at Murong Chu with clear eyes, was he angry because he didn't ask him for advice, and went to ask others? General, you are so childish, do you know that you are numb?

"I'll have some books delivered in a few days." Murong Chu's words made Mo Li not react for a while. Send some more books? Can she narcissistically mean asking someone to send her some books to read?

"I rarely read miscellaneous books other than the art of war. In the future, I will ask people to find as many books as they can for you. Murong Chu saw that Mo Li was stunned and explained.

Mo Li suddenly smiled with crooked eyebrows, and there was a shallow pear nest on his pink cheeks, and Murong Chu's mood was much better. In order to be able to return to the barracks tonight, he hurried all the way, only rested for a quarter of an hour at noon, and simply ate a little dry food and continued on his way.

Now that the anger has subsided, I naturally have an appetite, and I picked up the bowl and ate it in a big gulp. Even so, the posture is still elegant and decent. Mo Li Xianbao generally pushed a small dish in front of him, and in the small dish was a salted duck egg that had been peeled and cut in half: "General, you taste this." ”

Murong Chu put a piece of egg yolk in his mouth, and hooked the corners of his lips invisibly: "This is the crab yolk egg you sold for half a tael of silver?" ”

"Huh? How did the general know about the crab yolk egg? ”

Murong Chu ignored her anymore and continued to eat, Mo Li realized that this was the first time she had seen Murong Chu talking while eating, and when he was eating before, no matter what he asked, he would not answer a word. Mo Li was glad to be able to break the precepts he had always obeyed, and although she admitted that "eating without speaking" was a good habit, it was simply too depressing for her, a modern soul who likes to eat and chat, not saying a word about a meal.

Since he was no longer silent, Mo Li had no intention of continuing to disturb Murong Chu, so he got up and ignited the carbon in the small red clay furnace and put the copper kettle filled with water on it. Quietly waited for the water to boil, made tea, put it in front of Murong Chu, who had already finished eating, and then put away the dishes and chopsticks and sent them back to the kitchen, and by the way, asked the guards to send the hot water boiled in the kitchen to the big tent. Although Murong Chu didn't order him to take a bath, but looking at his dusty appearance when he came back, he must have been in a hurry for a long time, Mo Li knew that he was a person who loved cleanliness very much, if he wasn't extremely hungry, he would definitely take a hot bath before eating.

Murong Chu drank tea for a while, Mo Li didn't come back, but a guard brought hot water, and when the hot water filled the bath bucket, almost two quarters of an hour had passed since he finished eating. Remembering that once Mo Li said that he couldn't take a bath immediately after eating, it was not good for his health, and he would have to wait for at least two quarters of an hour, Murong Chu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and a trace of warmth swelled up in his heart inexplicably.

Mo Li didn't want to stay in the big tent when Murong Chu was taking a bath, although it was separated by a distance, it always made people feel embarrassed. She deliberately stayed in the kitchen and didn't leave, and talked to Ershun without saying a word.
