Chapter 2: Raised on Dirt

It was also at this time that Little Ginseng learned that he had a name, Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang?

Human names are so nice.

I heard from the man named Lu Changzheng that she came from very far away.

Other than that, he didn't reveal much else.

Little Ginseng, no, now her name should be Jiang Tang, she didn’t know and didn’t ask.

After she woke up, she adjusted her body and became full of energy again.

She couldn't stay in the hospital and wanted to go out to see something, especially to eat.

Especially craving human food.

Lu Changzheng asked the doctor and learned that she fainted due to malnutrition, so he did not force her to stay in the hospital.

Taking her out of the hospital, Lu Changzheng had a rare headache as he watched the girl looking around and sighing with curiosity at everything she saw.

After a brief conversation with her and learning about her life of eating dirt, he couldn't bear to send her back home.

"Lu Changzheng, when are we going to eat?" Jiang Tang grabbed Lu Changzheng's military uniform sleeve and shook it.

Her tone is delicate and soft, and her voice is very sweet.

Lu Changzheng glanced at the sky and thought that the canteen was open for dinner, so he took Jiang Tang to the canteen.

I received a lot of attention along the way.

Some young soldiers came forward and playfully called her "sister-in-law", but were all driven away by Lu Changzheng's stern face.

They laughed and waved to Jiang Tang, telling her not to be embarrassed.

"Excuse me? What is it, Lu Changzheng?"

Jiang Tang murmured the little soldier's words, not quite understanding why she was embarrassed.

Lu Changzheng twitched his lips and said, "It's okay, don't pay attention to them."

"Oh!"

.........

The news that Captain Lu, a popular bachelor in the military region, had sent a young wife from his hometown spread throughout the family compound yesterday.

Everyone is curious about what Jiang Tang is like.

But as soon as she arrived, she fainted and was admitted to the hospital. No matter how curious the people in the family compound were, they couldn't go to the hospital to inquire.

They could only discuss Captain Lu's partner in private.

I was wondering when I would see people, but unexpectedly, I ran into them while walking.

The original owner was petite, about 1.62 meters tall. Because she had been hungry and cold for a long time, she looked particularly thin and gaunt.

As if the wind would blow it over.

Next to her, Lu Changzheng was tall and long-legged, about 1.8 meters tall, with handsome and deep facial features under his wheat-colored skin, starry eyes, sword-like eyebrows, and a tough and extraordinary appearance.

The two of them walking together are obviously a bit mismatched, but they look so harmonious!
Looking more closely, he found that Jiang Tang's hand was tightly grasping Lu Changzheng's sleeve.

This man, who was known for his coldness in the camp, didn't even shake her off!
Is this how you treat your wife?
People who saw it expressed surprise.

I didn't expect that King Lu would have such a moment.

Jiang Tang was completely unaware.

Along the way, I admired the buildings I had never seen before and talked to Lu Changzheng from time to time.

She asked him curiously what those things were that she had never seen before.

It’s strange to say, Jiang Tang never stopped talking, but Lu Changzheng didn’t think it was noisy?
Instead, he answered her questions patiently.

Is it because you know that she had a hard life in the past, so you feel sympathy for her?

Lu Changzheng didn't figure it out.

"Changzheng, is this Xiao Jiang?" Xu Wanmin, the political commissar of the regiment where Lu Changzheng was, came towards him and asked Lu Changzheng with a smile.

Lu Changzheng nodded.

"Political Commissar, she is Comrade Jiang Tang."

"Ginger? That's a good name."

After saying that, Xu Wanmin looked at Jiang Tang who was holding Lu Changzheng and was not afraid of him at all, and nodded again. "The girl is also a good girl."

"Changzheng, your wife is here, you have to file a marriage report quickly!"

Xu Wanmin patted Lu Changzheng on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.

Lu Changzheng wanted to say that he had no intention of marrying Jiang Tang, but now was not the right time, so he could only be vague about it.

I decided to wait until I had discussed it with Jiang Tang before telling the regiment commander and the political commissar.

Jiang Tang didn't know what Lu Changzheng was planning.

She tried to mobilize the spiritual energy around her, only to find that there was not a trace of spiritual energy flowing around her.

Although she became a human, she came to a world without spiritual energy? Then she couldn't practice anymore, what should she do in the future?
Jiang Tang, who had just been promoted to a human, after getting over his initial curiosity, began to think about what to do in the future.

But before she could think of anything, her attention was drawn to the aroma of the food.

They came at the right time today, and the canteen served braised pork, steamed buns made from two-grain flour, and brown rice.

Lu Changzheng paid the bill, bought a portion of braised pork, ordered five steamed buns, a bowl of brown rice, and a portion of fried tofu with oil residue.

“Are these edible?”

Jiang Tang's eyes were still bright, and she looked at Lu Changzheng expectantly.

Lu Changzheng nodded slightly, and Jiang Tang was about to reach out to grab the chopsticks.

She had seen pictures in picture books showing that chopsticks were used when eating, but she had never used them before, so she felt a little unfamiliar with them when she first held them.

Fortunately, this body of hers has the muscle memory to know how to use chopsticks.

He picked up a piece of rich braised pork and opened his mouth to feed the meat.

But the next second, she closed her mouth and gave the braised pork to Lu Changzheng opposite her.

"how?"

Lu Changzheng looked up at her, obviously surprised.

Nowadays, apart from elders, only people who are very close to others will do this when picking up food for others.

What does Jiang Tang mean by this?
Jiang Tang’s thoughts were not as complicated as Lu Changzheng thought.

She picked up five pieces of braised pork in a row and gave them to Lu Changzheng.

"Thank you for taking me out to dinner, Lu Changzheng, you are the best person to me since I came into this world."

So far, she only knows Lu Changzheng.

Oh, and what about the political commissar Xu Wanmin? Jiang Tang didn't take him seriously.

Lu Changzheng gave her apples and took her to eat meat, and she was willing to share the delicious food with him first.

Jiang Tang picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth, his eyes curved into crescent shapes.

"Delicious."

“Is this the sweet smell?”

Looking at her happy expression, Lu Changzheng didn't even notice that a slight curve appeared on the corners of his lips.

Both of them were very satisfied with the meal.

After eating and drinking, difficulties arise again.

Now that Jiang Tang no longer needs to be hospitalized, where should she live?

Although he had a private room to himself, it was in a dormitory full of soldiers, so it was not suitable for Jiang Tang to live there alone.

She could only be temporarily placed in the military district guesthouse.

"Can't I go back with you?"

Downstairs in the guesthouse, Jiang Tang grabbed Lu Changzheng who was about to leave.

"Will you come again tomorrow? Do you want to take me back to where I came from?"

Although Lu Changzheng did not mention it along the way, the little ginseng did have hundreds of years of experience in Taoism.

She could feel that Lu Changzheng didn't want to keep her.

Lu Changzheng didn't expect her to ask this.

He looked at her and hummed softly, "Our marriage was just a joke from my mother. I'm not in the mood for love..."
