Children of Loulan

Chapter 243 Trouble Girl

When Mo Ming heard that she was leaving, he suddenly felt panicked and quickly said, "Well...well, I'm a little thirsty, can you please help me?" After saying that, a blush appeared on his face and he looked very embarrassed.

Bayer looked at the man lying on the bed unable to move, and a wave of pity surged in her heart. She answered without hesitation: "Okay!" Then she walked forward again, picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water. However, when she touched the cup, she found that the water was cold.

"The water is cold, you need to change it to a hot one. I saw you shivering from the cold just now. If you drink this cold water again, you will definitely catch a cold!" Bayer said with concern.

Mo Ming felt a little disappointed when he heard this. In fact, he was not really thirsty, but just wanted to have a chance to talk to this kind and beautiful girl. But now it seems that this wish cannot be realized.

"Oh, then... forget it! Sorry to trouble you, girl!" he said somewhat embarrassedly.

When Bayer heard him say forget it, she thought he didn't want to cause more trouble because he felt that recuperating in the palace was already a big hassle for others. So, she said softly, "It's not a problem. Wait a moment. I'll get you a pot of hot water. It will be ready soon!"

Mo Ming, who originally just wanted to say a few words to her, suddenly felt warm in his heart when he heard the girl say that she wanted to boil some water for him on such a cold night, but at the same time he felt a little embarrassed.

His face flushed red, and he waved his hands quickly, saying, "No, girl, really no, I'm not thirsty. The weather is getting colder now, girl, you should pay more attention to your health and don't catch a cold!"

However, his explanation was misunderstood by Bayer. She firmly believed that the captain was a man with a strong sense of self-esteem. He might feel that it was a bother for him to stay here to recuperate, so he did not want to cause trouble to others. So, she laughed heartily, waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of the cold. For a martial artist, a little wind is nothing!"

Mo Ming was stunned when he heard this. "A martial artist." She actually called herself a martial artist? Did he hear it wrong? He blinked in confusion, wanting to confirm it again. But when he came to his senses, the girl had already left quickly with the teapot.

So he kept staring at the door, not blinking, as if afraid of missing any details. Finally, Bayer came in again with hot water, and he immediately focused on observing her steps. Sure enough, he saw that Bayer's steps were steady and powerful, and each step was full of confidence and determination, which was obviously the result of long-term martial arts training.

He took the hot water handed over by Bayer and couldn't help but exclaimed: "I didn't expect that the girl actually learned martial arts. It's really rare!"

You know, in Loulan, although the requirements for women are not as strict as those in the Tang Dynasty, few women would choose to practice martial arts. After all, practicing martial arts requires a lot of sweat and time, and also requires enduring the wind and sun, which is difficult for most women to accept. Moreover, practicing martial arts often makes people's skin rough and dark, giving people a rude feeling, which is far from the traditional image of women.

However, Bayer was different. She didn't seem to care about other people's opinions, but insisted on pursuing her own interests and hobbies. Hearing his praise, Bayer smiled and replied: "Alas, I don't know anything. I get sleepy when I try needlework and reading. I only like the moves of boxing and kicking!" Her tone was relaxed and natural, as if she was talking about something very ordinary.

Mo Ming continued to ask: "Then I wonder who your master is?"

Bayer shook his head: "I don't have a proper master. I just learned a little bit from others and pieced it together to learn a little bit."

Mo Ming's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a smile: "You are very smart girl. You can learn good martial arts without a proper master!"

Bayer shook her head slightly and was about to say something when she suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps coming from outside the door. She subconsciously looked towards the door and saw a servant walking in with a thick quilt in his arms.

The boy obviously knew Bayer. He bowed respectfully and said, "The girl is here too!"

Bayer nodded slightly and replied, "Yeah!"

The servant continued, "The prince said that the weather was getting cold, and he was worried that Captain Mo would feel cold when sleeping at night, which would aggravate his injuries, so he specially asked me to bring a thick quilt."

Bayer couldn't help but chuckle and said, "The princess has asked me to send it here in advance, you can go back now!"

After hearing this, the servant nodded quickly and said, "Yes!" However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, Bayer suddenly called him.

"Wait, now that you've got them all, just put them in the cabinet so you don't have to make another trip," said Bayer.

The servant responded, then carried the quilt into the house and put it in the cabinet. Then, Bayer asked again, "Is the prince done with his work? Has he returned to Cuihua Court?"

The servant said, "Yes, the prince told me to come and deliver the quilt, and then I went back to Cuihua Court!"

Bayer nodded after hearing this, then looked at Mo Ming and said, "Captain Mo, have a good rest. I'll be leaving first!"

Mo Ming responded: "Well, thank you for today, miss. Take care!"

Baier turned and left. When Mo Ming saw her walking away, he immediately stopped the servant and asked anxiously, "Excuse me, who is that girl?"

The servant replied respectfully: "Captain Mo, she is the princess's maidservant!"

Mo Ming continued to ask: "The princess's maid? What's her name?"

The servant answered truthfully: "Her name is Dilibaier."

Mo Ming murmured to himself: "Dilibaier, Miss Baier..."

The servant was puzzled when he saw Mo Ming was lost in thought, but he still asked politely, "Captain Mo, if there is nothing else..."

Mo Ming came back to his senses, understood what he meant, and quickly said, “Oh, it’s okay, you can go!”

The servant responded, "Yes, I'll leave first!" Then he respectfully left the room.

At this time, Mo Ming was not sleepy at all. He first looked at the ceiling of the bed, then turned to look at the furnishings in the room. There were a few simple porcelain ornaments on the shelf, and a round table and four stools in the middle of the room.

There was also a complete set of tea sets on the table, with flowers painted on them that he didn't recognize. Then he looked towards the window. The window was closed, but next to it was a dressing table with an unknown potted plant on it!

After looking around the room carefully several times, he sighed secretly. After so many years, he still didn't have a decent home. Ever since he was separated from his brother many years ago, he began to wander around and make a living by begging.

However, fate is always full of uncertainties. He accidentally met a strange retired veteran. Although the veteran had a strange temper, he was very caring towards him and even taught him some basic skills to kill the enemy. In this way, he followed the veteran for two whole years.

Unfortunately, two years later, the old soldier passed away and his house was occupied by his nephew, which made him homeless again.
