"Yes, there was a plague in the capital, and many people got sick. At first, there wasn't even any medicine available."

Those who contract the disease can only endure it on their own; some even coughed up blood and died.

"Fortunately, my grandmother was there. She had a good relationship with the gods, and she asked the gods for a lot of medicine. She sent the medicine to the palace and gave it to the imperial physicians."

The miracle doctor also gave my grandmother a lot of masks, saying that wearing masks would make it less likely for her to catch the plague. But after wearing the masks, I felt too stuffy, and I couldn't breathe.

When we were in the capital, my grandmother wouldn't let us go out. If we did go out, we had to wear masks.

Every time I put on a mask, I think, maybe I'll suffocate from wearing a mask before I even get sick.

Even if my grandmother tells me to go out, I won't go out so I don't have to wear a mask.

It turned out that she had obtained medicine from the gods again, which saved the people of the capital.

Pei Yi's worries were relieved.

He watched as his grandson, disgusted by his unpleasant odor, quietly backed away, moving further and further away from him.

She said irritably, "Since you said you wouldn't leave even if your grandmother kicked you out, why did you come along now?"

"And why haven't I seen you wearing a mask?"

Even though he had never seen a face mask before.

But since it's a mask, you can understand from the name that it's meant to be worn on the face, covering the nose and mouth.

"That" fourth brother hid behind Zhou Nan.

He wasn't actually close to his grandfather. He was only one or two years old when his grandfather led troops into battle, so he didn't remember anything at all.

But he had heard his older brother mention that his grandfather was a particularly strict person.

Therefore, the eldest brother and his siblings were actually very afraid of their grandfather.

He belatedly realized he was starting to panic.

If Grandfather finds out that he secretly followed Grandmother out, will he immediately have someone send him back?

But he had finally made it to the battlefield.

He doesn't want to go back yet.

His eyes darted around, seemingly taking in the room's furnishings, but he was actually thinking of an excuse.

How can I say this so that my grandfather won't get angry?

“That one,” he finally thought of it.

“Grandfather, I know this is Grandmother’s first time leaving the capital, and I was worried about her, so I came along to protect her.”

“When my eldest brother was at home, he often told us, ‘Grandpa, you are far away and cannot take care of Grandma. We, as your grandchildren, should share your burden and take it as our mission to protect Grandma.’”

Even though I knew the journey from the capital was fraught with danger, and that we might encounter refugees looting our food, I didn't back down; I resolutely followed them.

As he spoke, he began to try to curry favor with Pei Yi.

Pei Yi: "..."

“Grandfather, now that you have woken up, I am relieved. I will have someone take me to Grandmother's side so that I can continue to protect her.”

I promise you, I will protect Grandma and not let her lose a single hair.

"If anyone tries to bully Grandmother, let them step over my dead body."

"Grandma, your most adorable grandson will be here soon."

To prevent Pei Yi from speaking, the fourth brother ran away as soon as he finished speaking.

Like a gust of wind.

His steps were both fast and steady.

It's obvious that they eat well regularly.

Chen Shu and the others looked on with envy.

Pei Yi looked helpless.

During the time he led troops away, the children in his household really grew up and became increasingly mischievous.

It's really a bit of a disservice to her to marry into the general's mansion and have her take care of this bunch of mischievous kids.

Chen Shu and Zhang Yifan continued to support Pei Yi as they walked towards the front yard.

Pei Yi recalled the words the fourth brother had just said and suddenly asked, "Does this general smell bad?"

Chen Shu leaned closer and sniffed twice, then said, "No, this smells pretty normal."

“We all smell like this, but I don’t find it offensive.”

Zhang Yifan nodded: "This humble general also has the same scent, and I do not find it unpleasant."

However, he added a couple more words.

"However, perhaps it's because I'm just like everyone else in the camp, we usually stay together, and maybe we've gotten used to the smell."

But I just noticed that the General's wife and the Fourth Young Master were all clean.

They might not be used to this smell.

Chen Shu disagreed: "Oh, what's there to be afraid of? They'll get used to it after a few more days in the military camp. Maybe the lady will even like the smell then."

After all, this scent symbolizes our battles and the fight against the enemy; it's the scent of heroes.

His words did nothing to comfort Pei Yi.

Pei Yi frowned.

"Is Madam definitely not at the General's Mansion right now?"

Chen Shu didn't understand why Pei Yi would ask that question.

He nodded: "Yes, I personally sent someone to escort the lady to the military camp and saw them off with my own eyes."

The distance from the general's mansion to the military camp is so far, and the lady went to the camp to perform magic for everyone; she certainly hasn't returned yet.

"Well, so good."

Pei Yi had been awake for some time, and had eaten some bread and drunk some water, so he had a little more strength.

He told Chen Shu and Zhang Yifan to let go of his hands, and then walked towards the front yard.

Soon, he saw ten large white barrels standing in the center of the yard.

"Is this bucket full of water?"

Chen Shu: "Yes, all ten large barrels were filled with water, and it was very sweet water, even better than the water before the drought, just like spring water."

After watching Yu Wanwan leave, Chen Shu couldn't wait to take a bite.

"These were all conjured up by the lady. She is truly amazing; she was able to conjure up such a large bucket of water all at once."

"And this rice, pure white rice, even better than the rice eaten by nobles in the capital. Madam said that this is our food for the day."

"General, we and the people will never go hungry again."

Chen Shu picked up a handful of rice and showed it to Pei Yi.

Pei Yi took the rice and placed it in his palm.

The sunlight shines on the rice, making it appear crystal clear and white.

There were no impurities in the rice.

It was truly better than the best rice he had ever eaten in the capital.

"General, look over here. This is all meat and vegetables. Even before the drought, most people could only eat meat before the New Year. But now, with a wave of her hand, the lady has conjured up so much meat."

Pei Yi's gaze gradually lost its composure.

It really is meat.

Meat that looked like a small mountain.

There were also lush, vibrant green vegetables.

At this time, there was such a vegetable. Even he couldn't bear to let go of it.

"General, General Chen, General Zhang, the people who came to help cook porridge have arrived. As soon as they heard that they were coming to the general's mansion to cook porridge, they all rushed to come and help."

It took us a lot of effort to persuade a group of people to go back.
