After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

The person captured by Dahei was pushed into the iron door, and the iron door slowly closed.

The people inside crowded at the door one by one, with anger or despair on their faces. They tried to rush out, but as long as anyone showed up, they would be whipped and beaten to a bloody head.

"Once this door is closed, this will be our tomb! Don't be afraid, everyone, just rush out together. As long as you rush out, there will be a way to survive!"

"Even if we don't survive, we will still disturb Shengjing's peace!"

"They don't treat us as human beings! Let's fight them!"

Seeing that the gate was about to close, the leader raised his arms and shouted, and rushed out first with his things. The commander of the Beijing suburb camp, who was closely guarding the side, saw that the situation was about to be chaotic, and immediately came down. Anyone who rushed forward would be beheaded immediately. .

There were three or five leaders who had just crossed the iron gate, and the next moment their heads rolled to the ground.

Blood splattered everywhere, and most of the people in the Shannian Camp were old, weak, women and children, and they were so frightened that they backed away.

Several corpses were thrown into the cremation pit, and the fire burned even more intensely. Under the dimming light of the fire, the heavy iron door slowly closed. Their eyes no longer had anger and despair, only deathly silence.

At this time, something was falling from the sky. I thought it was ashes, but I reached out and picked up a piece, and it turned out to be snowflakes.

When I looked up again, there was no bright moon hanging high, replaced by billowing dark clouds.

"It's snowing." Xue Changfeng was silent for a moment and asked, "It's getting colder and colder. Can they survive this winter?"

Zhou Lihuai sighed, "There is an epidemic in Shannian camp, but the emperor has not given treatment to the imperial hospital or provided any prescriptions. His attitude is already obvious. Death from starvation, death from cold, or death from illness is nothing more than one of the three."

"But there are hundreds of living people..."

"In the eyes of the imperial court, these hundreds of people are probably worse than ants."

The iron door closed, as if it had closed the entrance to hell. When they turned around, what they saw was the lights of thousands of houses in Shengjing, a time of peace and prosperity.

They walked out, and the lights became brighter and brighter as they walked, and the farther they walked, the further they got away from the miserable wailing of Shan Nian Camp. When we reached the long street, Shan Nian Camp also disappeared from sight, as if it had really sunk into hell.

The white snow also covers up the dirt. As long as you don't dig deeply, you won't find that it is dirty underneath.

Liu Yunxiang thought of something, looked at Zhou Lihuai and asked, "The young man who was on the street just now suddenly foamed at the mouth, convulsed and died. Is it really an epidemic?"

Zhou Lihuai tilted his head and said amusedly: "Didn't the imperial court say it was an epidemic?"

"But this epidemic came by chance."

"It's like dysentery, but it's more common in summer and autumn, and less common in winter. It's not difficult to treat, but so many people need proper accommodation, clean food, and a lot of medicinal materials. The imperial court is overwhelmed, so it simply doesn't care."

Liu Yunxiang still felt that it was too coincidental, but he was just suspicious.

"If it's an epidemic, then these soldiers are stationed outside and have contact with people inside, but none of them have contracted the disease." Yan Mu said.

"Although dysentery is an epidemic, as long as you wash your hands frequently and eat clean, it is not easy to be infected." Zhou Lihuai said.

Yan Mu just said it casually, and Zhou Lihuai explained it like this, so he didn't think much about it.

The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and Xue Changfeng hugged his shoulders and shrank, "It's a long night anyway, and there's no point in going home. The wine shop in front is still open. Let's go inside and have a few drinks to cheer up?"

Yan Mu pulled Liu Yunxiang, warmed her cold hands, and gently tugged at the corner of her mouth: "It's a long night, what's the point of drinking? Why don't you spend more time with my wife."

Liu Yunxiang blushed and leaned into Yan Mu's arms.

Seeing them like this, Xue Changfeng said angrily: "Who doesn't have a wife? What are you proud of!"

Yan Mu snorted, "You don't."

"I...I don't think women are troublesome!"

"So the long nights are long, and all you can do is drink to kill the loneliness."

After saying that, Yan Mu ignored Xue Changfeng, who was about to jump in anger, and pulled Liu Yunxiang away first.

"It's so unloyal to have a wife and forget about brothers!" Xue Changfeng shouted at Yan Mu's back, then turned to look at Zhou Lihuai, "Brother Zhou, let's go and have a drink."

Zhou Lihuai smiled sheepishly, "Brother Xue, I have to go home too. My wife is still in confinement. As a husband, I can't stay away from home during the day and go back smelling drunk at night. This is not good." .”

With that said, Zhou Lihuai cupped his fists and saluted Xue Changfeng, turned around and slipped away.

It was snowing all over the sky, he was alone in the deserted long street, and Xue Changfeng couldn't help but feel sad.

"I also want to marry a wife and have a family."

Xue and Feng had to let go of Xiao Shuanzi's matter.

In the next few days, Xue Hefeng refused to go to court or leave the house, citing illness as an excuse. When Xue Changfeng came to visit, he sent him away on the grounds that he was too ill to see guests.

Seeing that Xiao Shuanzi's case was about to be judged, and there were only a few days left, Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but become anxious.

Liu Yunxiang went to the daily ration shop early in the morning and saw the old prince sitting inside. He smiled at her mischievously when she came in. She had a premonition that she was going to suffer again.

"I want another hundred stones this time." The old prince said straight to the point.

Liu Yunxiang smiled: "We have plenty of food, just prepare the money."

"I am a dignified prince, and I am rich, so naturally I am not short of money." As he spoke, the old man took out a very old money bag from his patched sleeve pocket and threw it on the table.

Liu Yunxiang only glanced at it without counting, "You must have counted it wrong, it's not enough."

The old prince's eyes widened, "Please count them carefully, it's enough."

Liu Yunxiang held up his hands and smiled lightly: "Not enough."

The old prince smacked his lips and said, "As a family, we can't settle the accounts too clearly. Let's stick to the last price, one hundred yuan per stone."

"Now the price of food has risen to 160 yuan. Since you said we are a family, I have to remember the affection of the family, so it will be 150 yuan."

"My affection is worth ten coins?"

"No matter how much you do, I'll want to sever this relationship with you."

The corner of the old man's mouth twitched, "The imperial court has sealed off the Shannian camp. Anyway, they still provide a meal at noon. But I went there yesterday and discovered that the porridge was so thin that it was so thin that the steamed buns were so small that a bite could fit in. The people inside were so hungry." It was screaming. I stepped forward and looked in through the square opening, and the scene inside was really... really miserable, with people dying of hunger stacked one on top of another!"

"I thought that even if I gave them one more steamed bun every day, I might be able to save a few more people."

"My great-nephew, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I got this little money from a few old guys. I'm willing to risk my skin for just this little bit."

Liu Yunxiang was silent and said: "You must obey the King of Qin in a dignified manner..."

“If you don’t have money and power, you just have no title.”

Seeing the old man rubbing his hands, Liu Yunxiang let out a long sigh.

"Okay, one hundred yuan is one hundred yuan, but this one hundred stone can't help me for a few days. If you come back in the future, it will still be the same price, but I can't always lose money."

The old prince nodded, expressing understanding, "What do you want?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Then please write me an IOU."
