After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

Shen Ruoyan counted the food and grass again and couldn't help but touch her flat belly.

Perhaps because he knew that the food he could eat in the next few days would be too scarce, his stomach responded with a "gurgling" sound in protest.

In the past few days, Shen Ruoyan and all the people in the city have become accustomed to eating as little as possible, but even so, they can only watch as the remaining food becomes less and less.

Materials in the north have always been scarce, but the imperial court was only focused on internal fighting and had no supplies at all.

The food left in the city can only last for three days.

After three days, the Beidi people can drag them to death without any attack.

The residents who originally lived in this small northern city had to move their families in the face of such a situation. Fewer and fewer people were still willing to stay in the city. Walking on the road, I felt that the entire city was empty, except for people wearing armor. Among the soldiers, there are only some elderly people left.

"Uncle Zhang, are you still planning to stay here?" The man asked the neighbor uncle squatting on the roadside while loading large and small bags of belongings into the car.

Uncle Zhang knocked on the cigarette pouch in his hand, frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Let's go, where are we going?"

"Of course we are going to a place where there is no war." The man said and glanced at Uncle Zhang.

The other party's eyes were as calm as an abyss, and he suddenly realized that the fifth prince was currently fighting with the emperor, and most of Daning was locked in a struggle. If the northern border was also conquered by the Beidi people, I'm afraid there would be nothing in this world. A place to stay.

Thinking of the homeless life, the man couldn't help but sighed, but he still persuaded him: "Everywhere I look at is better than our place.

I don't want to stay in this damn place any longer. "

Uncle Zhang didn't say anything, just added some shredded tobacco to the pipe, pressed it firmly, and said leisurely: "Spring will start soon."

The man was stunned, thinking that when spring came, the surrounding glaciers gradually melted, and the back mountains became green day by day, and then, as if overnight, an unknown wild flower would bloom on the entire mountain.

Streams flowed among the flowers all over the mountains and fields. His children would carry small baskets and pick up mushrooms under the leadership of his wife. He would go into the mountains to hunt with bows and arrows and several other hunters.

Although the North is bitter, it also has unlimited fun.

The man pulled away from his memories and said as if he was angry: "I think you are stubborn.

As the saying goes, if you move a tree to death, move people to live.

What's the benefit of waiting here? I think it's better to pack up your belongings and find another way out as soon as I did. "

"That's right, we are planning to move tomorrow." Another neighbor also joined their conversation and snorted coldly, "Those dignitaries only care about internal fighting and let us stay here without food or water. We still have to fight against those wolf cubs in Beidi. Why should we shoulder all the dangers and difficulties?

I don't want to deal with this mess anymore. I'll run south tomorrow and live as long as I can. "

Uncle Zhang took a puff of cigarette and said nothing.

After the others left, he returned to his house and pulled out a wooden box hidden under the bed.

His rough palms rubbed back and forth on the cover, and his eyes softened, as if he was looking at his most beloved treasure.

Looking at the carriages going away, Shen Ruoyan sighed helplessly.

The people just wanted to live, and she had no right to stop them.

There are less than 300 people left in the city now, and I don't know if they can withstand the next wave of attacks from the Beidi people.

Back at the military camp, Lu Yan was discussing military affairs with others. Shen Ruoyan did not bother him and was busy with the things at hand in the room alone.

The sun gradually set in the west, and Shen Ruoyan didn't realize that it was already dark until she heard the sound of the door being pushed in.

Lu Yan had a disguised look on his face, but he couldn't hide the look of exhaustion. Shen Ruoyan put down her pen, pretended to be relaxed and pointed at the bowl of white porridge warming by the stove and said, "You're back, drink some porridge to warm yourself up." .”

Looking at the steaming bowl of porridge beside the stove, Lu Yan hesitated for a moment.

He knew the situation in the city very clearly and knew how precious this bowl of rice porridge was in the current environment.

Lit the candle, and the warm orange firelight clearly outlines Shen Ruoyan's outline.

These days, Lu Yan watched Shen Ruoyan lose weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In order to save a few mouthfuls of food, she always intentionally hides herself during meals. If asked, she will smile and say that she has already eaten.

Lu Yan knew she was lying, but now there was a shortage of manpower and food. Under such circumstances, Lu Yan had to put more thought into carefully designing and deploying defenses. With so many things to deal with at hand, he simply couldn't keep an eye on Shen Ruoyan and eat well.

His A-yan should have lived a life of ample food and clothing, and should have been happy and carefree, but now she couldn't even have a full meal.

Lu Yan's throat felt tight.

He should have hardened his heart and sent Shen Ruoyan away.

Unable to bear the pain of his beloved living with him, Lu Yan said: "Ayan..."

Before he could continue, Shen Ruoyan shook her head and interrupted him, "I won't leave!"

Then forcefully stuffing the porridge bowl into Lu Yan's arms, Shen Ruoyan repeated firmly: "This is my own willing choice. You are not allowed to drive me away. Do you hear me?"

Lu Yan wanted to say something else, but Shen Ruoyan raised her eyebrows and glanced sideways at him.

The majestic general outside immediately shut his mouth and did not dare to say another word.

Seeing that Lu Yan no longer insisted on sending her away, Shen Ruoyan softened her tone, took Lu Yan's hand and said, "Don't worry, I have sent people to buy food. The current crisis will be alleviated in a few days. We will definitely be able to survive." Go down."

When Shen Ruoyan came to the Northern Territory, she sent several teams of people, pretending to be caravans, to go to the major cities in the Northern Territory to find out information. A few days ago, she had written a letter asking these people to buy all the supplies they could buy at high prices and deliver them overnight. Come over here.

In addition, she also contacted Chun Niang and asked her to help raise supplies. However, Yizhou is too far away from here. With the high mountains and long rivers, she doesn't know when she will be able to see those things.

Lu Yan scooped up a spoonful of porridge and fed it to Shen Ruoyan's mouth.

He also asked people to do these things, so he naturally knew the difficulties involved, "Ayan, be good, drink the porridge."

Looking at the spoon being fed to her mouth, Shen Ruoyan had to open her mouth. The warm white porridge slid down her throat and into her shriveled belly. Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but swallow.

Lu Yan looked at her little expression and couldn't help but scoop up another spoonful and feed it to her.

"I stay in the house all day and don't do anything. You should eat the porridge." Shen Ruoyan pouted and refused. In order to divert Lu Yan's attention, she tried to ask, "Lu Yan, do you have any Have you ever thought about giving up here and looking for a better future?"
