Yun Chu had no idea what Jiang Cheng was thinking. More refugees were gathering outside Green City, and food was almost running out.

Huo Er said in a deep voice: "Madam, you should leave Green City as soon as possible. There is no news from Fengjin yet. There are more and more refugees. There are disasters in various parts of Guangliang Province. The number of deaths increases exponentially every day. We are already overwhelmed."

The most sensible decision now is to abandon these refugees or to transfer the existing food from Fengjin.

But right now, there are wars everywhere, and the Huo family army also needs food to fight. Green City is like a hole. Even if food is really transferred here, as long as the drought cannot be alleviated, it will be a drop in the bucket. This hole will only let in wind and will not be of any benefit at all.

Yun Chu frowned again and looked up at Huo Er: "There has been no news from Fengjin?"

Huo Er smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The last news came a month ago. I'm afraid the super rice seed project has failed."

When mentioning this, Huo Er was also a little disappointed. Food is the most important thing in wartime.

Today, Fengjin has the greatest reputation and occupies the best geographical location. It has almost the best time and place. If there is an endless supply of food, it will only be a matter of time before all the Japanese are driven away.

Greentown is located in the Central Plains and has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. It's a pity that the disaster was so severe.

I don’t know how long this famine will last. I’m afraid that by the end, only one in ten people in Guangliang Province will be left alive. By then, this will be a worthless empty city.

failure?

Yun Chu lowered her eyes again and said nothing. Perhaps anyone who didn't believe in the value of super rice seeds would have doubts, but she knew it was true. Not to mention that the yield of more than 1,000 kilograms of rice seeds per mu has been achieved in modern times, the rewards and prompts for killing monsters are all real. How could it be fake? So there couldn't be a problem with the rice seed plan.

Yun Chu took another deep breath and frowned. According to the time, the rice seeds should have been harvested.

So, is it that the climate in Fengjin is unsuitable? Or is there something wrong that affects the rice?

The situation in Green City is urgent right now. If there is no news about the rice seeds, then Guangliang Province will have to be put on hold temporarily. This place has become a barren land, and more people will die along the way. As more people die, there will be epidemics.

Yun Chu rubbed his brows again and was about to speak when Huo San suddenly ran in, panting and looking excited. He saluted Yun Chu again and said in a loud voice: "Madam! There is news from Fengjin!"

Hearing this, Huo Er suddenly turned around and looked at Huo San: "Are you serious?!"

Huo San rarely grinned: "When have I ever joked? The Fengjin rice seed project has been declared a complete success! A bumper harvest! A huge harvest! The yield of 1,300 kilograms of rice per mu, now excluding the grain seeds, most of it has been transported to Green City!"

When Huo Er heard this, his face flushed and he was extremely excited. Green City was saved, and Guangliang Province was saved too!

He has been stationed here since the recapture of Green City. Naturally, he has feelings for Guangliang Province. After hearing so many news from down there, such as mothers eating their children, children selling their mothers, and all kinds of human tragedies happening one after another, how can one not feel heartbroken?

Yun Chu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Okay!"

After all, Fengjin did not disappoint her. With this batch of grain, it would not be a problem for the people of Guangliang Province to survive the difficult times if they lived frugally. What's more, there could be the next batch, and the next batch. As long as there was grain to plant, the food would be endless.

Huo Er calmed down and said, "Madam, since the food problem has been solved, why don't you hurry to Shanghai as soon as possible? The Marshal often urges you because he is afraid that something might happen to you if you stay here."

The disaster in Guangliang Province is severe. If something really happens, it will be difficult to recover, not to mention that Yun Chu is not alone now.

Yun Chu pondered for a moment, nodded, and agreed to let Huo Zhan go back early. It has been about two months.

She gently stroked her bulging belly, her brows twitching slightly. According to the time, it was only more than four months, but her belly was a little too big, which was not normal. She suspected that she was pregnant with twins, so she had to rest more and avoid overwork in the days to come.

Twins are most likely to be born prematurely. If they really are about the same age and are about to be born suddenly, what will happen if Huo Zhan is not around?

It's not that she is being pretentious. She doesn't have to have the father of the child around to give birth to a child. But the child is not just hers. If Huo Zhan misses it, she will regret it for the rest of her life. So she will stay with Huo Zhan for the rest of the time.

Yun Chu stood up again and said, "Then get ready and head to Shanghai. I'll leave this place to you."

"Yes!" Huo Er responded solemnly.

However, just when Yun Chu decided to leave Green City and rush to Shanghai the next day, in the evening, after she finished her meal and was about to exercise in the garden, she saw Huo Zhan, who was standing outside the fence and looked exhausted.

Despite his fatigue, his eyes and eyebrows were still gorgeous and bright.

He just stood there, with a slender figure, and his narrow fox eyes were like a pool of spring water. He looked at her quietly and intently, almost greedily. The night breeze blew through his slightly messy black hair, and his voice was tinged with a smile, as lazy as ever.

"Youyou, if you don't come back, I will have no choice but to come here."

Hearing his voice, Yun Chu felt a little warm in his heart again, and his eyes flushed for some reason.

She has never been a very sentimental person. She and Huo Zhan have experienced a lot. They have long passed the stage of love and are more like an old married couple. They are familiar with each other, but seeing him in this place at this time still makes her feel warm.

Yun Chu walked forward again, opened the small door of the wooden fence, walked forward and hugged his waist, and said in a muffled voice: "I was planning to go back to find you tomorrow, why didn't you tell me you were coming to Green City?"

Huo Zhan slightly bent his waist, then hugged her carefully and said softly, "I missed you."

Yun Chu laughed again, stepped back, and looked at Huo Zhan seriously.

There were some messy stubble on his chin. It seemed that he had been walking on the road for several days without taking a rest.

Thinking of this, Yun Chu felt a little distressed again, and reached out to touch his face: "Come in."

Huo Zhan lowered his eyes to glance at her bulging belly, blinked, then hesitated a little, and whispered: "Is he growing so fast?"

Although he grew up in Fengjin, and the concubines in the backyard often became pregnant and gave birth, he had always followed his master Gulin and had only a superficial understanding of a woman's ten months of pregnancy. He didn't know much about the specific situation, but he was still a little uncomfortable and distressed when she suddenly grew so big. How painful would it be to give birth to a child with such a big belly?

Huo Zhan didn't dare to think about it, his brows were tightly knitted, and he put his arms around Yun Chuyou's waist, treating her as delicately as if she were a treasure.

Yun Chu was amused again: "I'm not made of paper, it's okay."

After that, she looked at her belly and said with a gentle look, "It's not that big now, it will grow bigger in two months."

Huo Zhan frowned even deeper and pursed his lips.

Without hearing Huo Zhan's response, Yun Chu subconsciously looked over again. When he saw his expression, he was slightly startled, and instantly guessed what he was thinking. He couldn't help but feel sad, and reached out to hug him tightly, patted him gently, and smiled: "Don't be afraid."
