Chapter 267 - Baked Sweet Potatoes
Seeing Feng Muyan like this, Mu Ziyan's lips curled up into a warm smile. Such Amu really looked like a child. In fact, he was missing his military camp and the days of marching and fighting in his youth, those days of sweetness amidst bitterness. Did he and his soldiers also roast sweet potatoes around the fire like this?
"Amu, it smells really good."
"Of course. How can it be bad if it's baked by me? It will taste a hundred times better than this when you eat it later." Feng Muyan glanced at Mu Ziyan complacently.
"Hahaha...haha..." He really looks like a big boy and is so adorable. What should she do if she really wants to pounce on him?
After peeling the sweet potatoes, Feng Muyan tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes, wrapped the sweet potatoes with it and handed it to Mu Ziyan, revealing a big smile. His two rows of straight and white teeth almost made Mu Ziyan dizzy.
"Amu! Amu! Can you smile like this in the future?" Mu Ziyan said excitedly with her obsidian eyes. She always thought that Amu's smile was not so good-looking. It always looked stiff compared to his expressionless face. But the smile just now was really handsome as sunshine!
"Okay, I'll do as you say. Be careful when eating, and don't burn your hands." After saying that, he reached out and pinched her face.
Seeing the brightness in her eyes grow brighter with every bite, Feng Muyan's self-confidence increased unprecedentedly, and the smile on his face grew wider.
The curtain of the kitchen was suddenly lifted, and the two of them lowered their heads in shock. However, Mu Ziyan still did not forget to chew the sweet potato in her hand. Seeing this, Feng Muyan's mouth froze. This girl is really generous. She still doesn't forget to eat even in such a situation!
"What are you doing?" The patrol captain walked up to Mu Ziyan, holding the long knife at his waist.
As this man approached, the smile on Feng Muyan's face faded, and the diamond-shaped dart in his sleeve instantly slid into his palm, ready to kill him at any time.
But the man didn't seem to care about their answers. He just snatched the sweet potato from Mu Ziyan's hand and said in a bullying manner, "It is forbidden to steal food in this military camp. This sweet potato is confiscated. Remember not to do it again in the future."
After the man left the kitchen tent, Mu Ziyan cursed in a low voice with resentment, "If I let you steal my things, I will definitely make you have diarrhea until your legs are weak!"
"Li'er, don't be angry. I'll roast it for you when I have the chance in the future." Feng Muyan was amused by Mu Ziyan's behavior. He really missed her like this. She often showed such an expression when she didn't have front teeth. He hadn't seen it for many years.
"Should we start taking action?"
"That's right. The troops will be divided into two groups later. You need to count the total number of soldier tents in this camp. It would be even better if you could find out how many people are assigned to each tent. Is that okay?" Feng Muyan whispered in her ear.
"No problem. Amu, where are you going?" Mu Ziyan was a little puzzled. Why did they have to split into two groups? Wouldn't they be able to take care of each other if they stayed together?
"I want to go to the commander's tent to see if I can find something useful." As soon as Feng Muyan finished speaking, Mu Ziyan knew the reason. No wonder he had to split the troops into two groups. He was worried that she would be in danger, so he gave her the task of counting.
In a moment, the two of them each carried a basket of rotten vegetable leaves and walked out of the kitchen, and walked separately along the previously planned route. Mu Ziyan calmly counted the number of tents as he walked, and he was still thinking about Feng Muyan in his heart. He couldn't help but speed up his pace slightly, hoping to complete the task quickly and go to help him.
"Stop, which deputy general are you working for? Why do you look unfamiliar?"
"I'm a temporary helper in the kitchen, and I'm just about to deal with these rotten vegetable leaves. If you don't believe me, please check it out." Mu Ziyan replied with a nod and a bow, then held a basket of rotten vegetables in front of the patrolling soldier, causing the man to step back repeatedly.
"Get out of here and deal with your rotten vegetables!" the soldier scolded.
