Su Yan suddenly felt extremely thirsty. She got out of bed and stood by the window, saying in a hoarse voice, "I... want... to drink water!"

Dongfang Yi was holding a bucket full of water and was about to pour it into the water jar.

Hearing Su Yan's voice, his hand paused slightly, then walked towards her.

He easily lifted the bucket in front of Su Yan's face, tilted it slightly, and the water reached the edge of the bucket, swaying with dazzling light, "The scoop is broken, just drink it."

Su Yan looked at him, slowly moved her cracked lips closer, and drank from it in small sips.

Dongfang Yi saw that she could still drink water and asked, "You can eat now, why were you hungry before?"

Su Yan felt that the golden stars in front of her eyes had disappeared a lot. "There is no point... in living!" She just made up an excuse.

Dongfang Yi thought about it for a moment and understood that a good girl was forced to marry a "dead man" like him and could not remarry. There was really no hope for her to survive.

Carrying the bucket, Dongfang Yi walked towards the half kitchen. Suddenly he stopped and said to Su Yan without turning his head: "From now on, I will support you."

Su Yan looked at Dongfang Yi in surprise.

"Why?" After drinking the water, he gradually spoke more fluently, "I'm so lazy."

Dongfang Yi poured water into the pot and scrubbed the rusty pot vigorously. "You are the wife my mother married for me. I was not able to fulfill my filial piety when she was alive, but at least I will take good care of the things she left behind."

"..."

"If you don't want to live with me, you can leave and I will write a letter of divorce."

There is no divorce in this world, and men are superior to women. If a couple wants to separate, one option is for the man to divorce his wife, and the other option is for the man to write a letter of divorce.

The former's reputation will be ruined and no one will marry him again.

The latter can choose another good man to remarry. Because there is a necessary condition for writing a divorce letter, that is, the couple has never consummated the marriage and the woman is still a virgin.

Su Yan replied: "I'll keep your words in mind. When I want to leave one day, please write it to me."

After Dongfang Yi cleaned the pot, he said happily, "Okay."

Su Yan stood by the window and watched Dongfang Yi throw the processed fish directly into the pot, throw in a handful of salt, add water, and turn on the fire to boil.

Even if fresh fish does not have any other ingredients, as long as the blood and internal organs are cleaned away, the freshness and fragrance will be very tempting.

Su Yan smelled the fragrance and felt hungry. "Is there anything to eat?"

Dongfang Yi looked at her, lifted the lid of the pot, and served her a small bowl of fish and fish soup. "Satisfy your hunger first."

"Thank you." Su Yan picked up the bowl, scooped a mouthful of soup with a wooden spoon, and drank it slowly.

After drinking the hot salted fish soup, I felt like I was revived and the pain quickly disappeared.

Seeing her eating slowly, Dongfang Yi asked, "Were you often hungry before?"

"Hmm?" Su Yan looked up at him.

"I know I'm very hungry, so I have to eat slowly."

If it is the first time to be hungry, you will definitely wolf down the food you see. However, this way of eating is extremely bad for your body. On the contrary, eating slowly, in small bites, is just right.

Su Yan said: "...If you eat too much, you will easily choke."

Soon the small bowl of fish soup was finished.

Su Yan had more strength in her body and looked at the pig that was still tied up outside. "Are you not going to deal with it?"

Dongfang Yi replied: "It needs to be processed, but the meat has already been sold to Mr. Zhang in the village."

Seeing that she was staring at him, he asked, "Do you want to eat?"

Su Yan hurriedly shook her head, "No."

Dongfang Yi said: "Leave a piece of meat when I kill it."

Su Yan: "..."

Dongfang Yi threw a handful of potato starch into the fish soup and cooked it. When it was done, he sprinkled some spices on it and served it.

Su Yan had been hungry for a long time, so she only ate until she was 60% full and stopped eating, even though her body was clamoring for her to eat more.

Dongfang Yi is tall and strong, and he eats a lot, so he packed up all the leftovers.

Su Yan didn't want to eat for free, so she washed the pots and pans, and sorted the messy firewood in the kitchen into a row, freeing up a lot of space.

Seeing that she was not too lazy to do anything, Dongfang Yi's expression eased a little, "I want to kill a pig and scald its hair. Can you help me boil a pot of water?"

"Okay." Su Yan naturally agreed, so that she would feel justified when eating pork.

Dongfang Yi was very skillful at slaughtering pigs. He finished the whole pig in no time with a single move of the knife. He also cut off a piece of good meat and left it for Su Yan.

The servant of Mr. Zhang left two taels of silver and took the slaughtered pig away.

Looking at the heart, liver, lungs, pig intestines and other offal left behind, Su Yan's eyes lit up, "They don't want these?"

"No one wants these, so I'll dig a hole and bury them too." Dongfang Yi said as he went to get a shovel.

"Wait wait wait, I want it."

"you want?"

"This thing is ready, it's delicious." Su Yan rolled up her sleeves, "Help me fetch some water, it's a waste of water to clean this thing. Oh, by the way, I remember there's a jar of wine under the table where your tablet is enshrined, bring it over for me."

"My tablet..." Dongfang Yi walked into the room.

He came out very quickly, holding a jar of wine in one hand and a tablet in the other.

Su Yan saw him go straight into the kitchen and throw the tablet into the stove. Soon, thick smoke rose up, flames spewed out, and the tablet turned into ashes.

"Uh... that was my husband, the one I married in the church. How could he be burned like that?" Su Yan said in a low voice.

Dongfang Yi's forehead twitched, "I'm still alive!"

……

In this era, because of the war, there were more men than women, and men were superior to women, often polygamous. A man like him, tall, strong and good-looking, might be able to marry a noble lady.

Even in the animal world, men like him would be the object of pursuit by females.

Su Yan looked at Dongfang Yi who was helping her get water and asked, "Do you have a woman you like outside?"

Dongfang Yi said: "There are no women on the battlefield."

Su Yan nodded, "What about the man?"

Dongfang Yi was speechless: "..."

Although there are those in the army, he doesn't like them.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Su Yan looked as if she understood, "Yeah, I see."

What the hell... Dongfang Yi was too lazy to pay attention to her.

After all the pig offal was washed, Su Yan lit the fire and prepared to blanch it.

At this time, someone outside the gate shouted, "Does Dongfang Yi live here?"

Su Yan looked outside secretly.

Dongfang Yi was repairing a window with a hammer in his hand. When he heard the shout, he responded, "Who is it?"

"Letter from Chang'an." the person at the door shouted.

Dongfang Yi went over to take the letter, opened it and read...but as he read on, his brows furrowed tightly.

Su Yan was no longer curious. She threw the cleaned pig intestines into the pot and blanched them. She also blanched the pig heart, liver, and lungs...

Dongfang Yi did not tell Su Yan the contents of the letter, but he speeded up the repair of the hut.

Su Yan didn't ask either.

She took all the pigs out of the water and cooked them all, and the aroma filled the air.

Neighbor Mrs. Zhang came over after smelling the fragrance.
