Scientific Travel

Deng Yin really went easy on him this time, and Gou Dan woke up the next day.

He swung the hook toward the window, and his accuracy was indeed better than Deng Yin's; he hit the target right away.

After entering the house, Gou Dan put the hook and boat into his spatial storage. He didn't go looking for Deng Yin, knowing that Deng Yin must have heard the commotion.

Gou Dan went to find Li Ping Le.

He was a little hungry after not eating for so long.

.......

Fortunately, Mei Shengke only caught a cold and didn't need any medicine prescribed by Liu Ding. Deng Yin gave her a cold capsule and she recovered.

The reason she slept for so long was because she hadn't slept well the past few days, and she was also hungry.

Since he was in such a state, he certainly couldn't eat, so Deng Yin resorted to his old method: using the river water in the space to keep him alive.

Time returns to the present.

Mei Shengke got out of bed. The room was tastefully furnished, and you could see a tall forest in the distance through the window. It was a building.

where is this?

He wasn't tied up, and there was no one watching him, so he must have been rescued.

With no rooms available, Deng Yin settled Mei Shengke in her room, while she stayed with Wang Xi these days.

After finishing his meal, Deng Yin lay on the bed to rest for a while, intending to come in and give Mei Shengke some water.

The two looked at each other, and Deng Yin spoke first: "Oh, you're awake."

Mei Shengke realized that she had been rescued, but he never expected that the person who rescued her would be Deng Yin.

"How long have I been asleep?" Mei Shengke hadn't forgotten the purpose of her trip; there were still so many soldiers waiting in the military camp.

"Hmm..." Deng Yin thought for a moment and said truthfully, "I don't know, but it's definitely been three days. I found you three days ago."

It's been three days...

Although Mei Shengke hasn't eaten these past few days, he's drunk a lot of water, which has helped him regain some strength.

Mei Shengke cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your help today, but I have other important matters to attend to. I will bring you a generous gift next time I come."

After saying this, Mei Shengke picked up her cloak and was about to leave when Deng Yin stepped forward and stopped her.

"Want to leave? How far can you go in the state you are now? You'd better think it over. Once you've passed my village, you might not find another village that can save you."

“Then I’m leaving too.” Mei Shengke’s tone was firm, just like her—always resolute. “There are so many soldiers waiting for me in the camp. Every minute I’m late means another minute of hunger for them.”

“But have you thought about it,” Deng Yin continued, trying to persuade him, “what would happen to those people if you died on the way?”

Mei Shengke frowned, but still said firmly, "If you want to be a good soldier, you can't be afraid. If I'm afraid, then the people behind me will have no way out."

Mei Shengke clearly looks like a young girl, but I don't know why she's so precocious.

She looks about the same age as Deng Yin before she transmigrated.

Deng Yin sat down in a chair and poured two glasses of water.

The room is filled with water, and in her current condition, it's not suitable for her to drink tea.

Deng Yin gestured with his hand, saying, "Sit down."

Mei Shengke took three steps in two and sat down opposite Deng Yin.

Deng Yin then gestured, "Drink water."

Strange, after sleeping for so many days, I don't feel thirsty at all.

Mei Shengke hadn't noticed it before, but now that Deng Yin mentioned it, he remembered.

Mei Shengke drank it all in one gulp.

It's a little sweet...

...It tastes pretty good.

Deng Yin poured Mei Shengke another glass of water, saying as he poured, "Tell me, what is the purpose of this trip?"

This wasn't exactly a secret, especially since Deng Yin had saved her. Since she wanted to know, Mei Shengke didn't hide it from her.

"Our food supplies are running out, and we can't find anything to eat in the surrounding cities. I have no choice but to go somewhere further away."

Deng Yin: "How many people are there in your camp?"

Mei Shengke: "Five thousand four hundred and thirty-one people."

Mei Shengke's words were both round and partial, clearly indicating that he was a deputy general who often liked to count people.

Deng Yin didn't know much about this kind of thing, otherwise she would know how few these people were for an army guarding a border city.

Although Cui Wuji lavishly proclaimed Wei Wujiang's heroic deeds, he also knew that Wei Wujiang and Mei Shengke had known each other since childhood and that their families had a good relationship.

When faced with two evils, one should choose the lesser one, but this does not mean that Cui Wuji trusts Wei Wujiang.

His garrison was very close to the Kingdom of Yuan, yet he was only given such a small number of troops. Keep in mind that the army stationed in Musa City numbered over 20,000.

Musha City is very close to Ximing Kingdom, but Ximing Kingdom's national strength is far less than half that of Yuan Kingdom.

Deng Yinzheng was amazed by the sheer number of people because she didn't understand them!

More than 5,000 people! They must have eaten more than 20,000 potatoes that day.

Deng Yin's estimate was far too high. The soldiers nowadays couldn't even get half a potato per meal, let alone the potatoes they ate, which were at least two-thirds smaller than the ones Deng Yin grew.

Four silver coins! Four silver coins!

Deng Yin kept repeating this to himself, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Take good care of yourself, and I'll go back with you once you've recovered. Don't worry about the food supplies, I'll figure something out."

Mei Shengke was stunned. Feeding so many people was no small sum.

She knew a little about Deng Yin's story, after all, Wei Wujiang had mentioned her many times about her entanglements with Deng Yin.

To be honest, Mei Shengke doesn't believe in ghosts or gods either.

God cannot make people win battles; only people can win them.

As for ghosts, let's not even mention them.

It is said that people become ghosts after they die. Countless people have died under Mei Shengke's knife, but she has never been haunted by ghosts.

But at that moment, Mei Shengke suddenly believed in the existence of God...

Deng Yin didn't notice the complex expression of gratitude and surprise on her face. She finished the water in her glass in one gulp and left.

If she didn't leave soon, she was afraid she would regret it!

......

After a great depletion, a great tonic is tantamount to quick suicide. Deng Yin went back to his old ways, cooking a pot of porridge every few days so that Mei Shengke could drink it every meal.

She wasn't allergic to any food, so Deng Yin added whatever she could to the porridge.

Fish paste and minced meat are just the basics; Deng Yin has also cooked strawberry porridge and watermelon porridge.

smell......

...It's hard to explain in a few words.

Fortunately, Mei Shengke is not a picky eater.

Not only is she not picky about food, but she also seems to have lost her sense of taste, eating everything with the same expression. Even when she encounters something unpalatable, she doesn't show the slightest sign of not being able to eat it.

Like today's meal, the whole table was filled with dishes prepared by Li Pingle, and Mei Shengke ate with a blank expression, revealing no preference whatsoever.

Apart from Liu Ding, the people here have no manners.

The idea of ​​not speaking while eating or sleeping is simply not a concept at the dinner table.

But today, Mei Shengke suddenly showed up, and it seems like everyone has suddenly become well-mannered.

Although she didn't express any dissatisfaction with the act of eating and talking, her expression was icy, feeling even colder than the hail outside.

Even Wang Xi, who is usually very talkative, is now silent.

Actually, Mei Shengke wasn't dissatisfied; he was just spacing out.

She looks grumpy when she's spacing out, but she's actually not feeling anything.

Fortunately, she only stayed for five days, and for three of those days she was still eating porridge indoors. Otherwise, in that kind of dining atmosphere, Wang Xi would have lost at least a pound a day.
