C30 (2/2)

A Jin picked up a piece and handed it to Su Zhi, bending her little crescent teeth. ”Mother, eat this.” He picked up another piece and handed it to Xiao Qian. ”Uncle Xiao.”

Xiao Qian took the cake and tried to eat it. The soft and delicious cake was sweet and not greasy at all. It was even more delicious than what the imperial chef cooked.

”Nice craftsmanship.”

”As long as the general likes it.”

Although he intentionally avoided the wound on his hand, Su Zhi still saw the red mark after being bitten by a bee.

He quickly took out the ointment he brought from his sleeve and handed it over.

Xiao Qian looked at the tube that looked like it was made of iron and asked, ”What is this?”

Su Zhi said, ”It's a medicine used to treat bite wounds. General, you need to clean it first thing in the morning to take care of it.”

Xiao Qian waved his hand as he ate the cake in a few bites before picking up another piece. ”No need. It's not normal for a man to have some injuries.”

Seeing this, A Jin put down the food in her hands and accepted the ointment. She said with some guilt, ”Uncle Xiao got injured in order to protect A Jin. Let A Jin apply the medicine for you.”

”Obedient A Jin, it's fine. Leave this ointment on you in case you need it.”

Xiao Qian insisted on not applying the medicine, but A Jin couldn't convince him, so she could only give up.

In the dim light of the kerosene lamp, Su Zhi sat next to Xiao Qian and read the account book with him. It wasn't very close, but there was a small bag of beans squeezed in the middle.

The two of them did not speak and ignored the strange current.

A Jin supported himself on his little head as he sat down obediently on the side.

It was like a family of four leaning against each other.

Going out to hunt in the afternoon was already very tiring, and after a while, A Jin could no longer sit still, and her eyelids began to twitch.

Su Zhi hurriedly brought the two children back to rest. She looked back at Xiao Gan and said, ”General Xiao didn't sleep last night, and did not rest today either. You should go to bed early. You'll be able to finish reading these books tomorrow.”

Xiao Qian was sitting in a chair with no one by his side. His heart suddenly felt empty.

”Understood, you can go down first.”

He replied carelessly. It was obviously a perfunctory reply.
