Why marry someone when you are reborn?

It all happened so fast that Hua Niang couldn't stop it.

As for Luo Yuan, he didn't expect that his own mother would slap him again and say these words.

Aunt Deng looked at Luo Yuan, tears streaming down her face, and she cursed: "Half a leg is gone, so you are disabled? Do you want someone to serve you food or drink? Or do you want someone to change your diapers?"

"When you were a kid, I had to feed you, feed you, and serve you. I didn't dislike you then, and I don't dislike you now!"

"Don't even mention that you will just be a cripple in the future. Even if you really lie in bed and need someone to serve you, what's the big deal?!"

Aunt Deng's voice became faster and faster, and her tears fell faster and faster. Finally, she slammed the bed with her hands: "But when you say this, you are cutting my flesh and digging out my heart!"

Finally, Aunt Deng looked at Luo Yuan, but suddenly softened her tone and begged, "Da Lang, please live well, okay?"

Luo Yuan looked into Aunt Deng's eyes and suddenly burst into tears: "Mom, I'm in pain! I feel like dying every day! I'm scared too! How am I going to live in the future!"

Hua Niang had already cried so hard that she was out of breath.

The only sound in the room was crying.

The uncle was listening outside and also wiped his tears.

But when the crying in the room gradually stopped, Luo Yuan wiped his face and said with a gasp: "Mom, I will live a good life from now on."

Aunt Deng hugged Luo Yuan and said, "Don't be afraid, my dear. I'll take care of everything for you!"

Hua Niang also wiped her tears and assured: "Da Lang, I will never dislike you! Tie Niu won't dislike you either! You are a hero!"

When Xu Yun came to deliver the meal, he saw that although Aunt Deng's eyes were still red and swollen, she looked more energetic. He roughly guessed what had happened and breathed a sigh of relief: "The most urgent thing now is to let Brother Luo recover. It is so rare to be able to save his life from the battlefield!"

Aunt Deng nodded and sighed, "I'm afraid he won't be able to get over it. He'll feel bad. I know my son, he's very honest, but he's also a taciturn person who won't say anything. Now we can only take it one step at a time."

After a pause, she smiled bitterly again: "At that time, I was the one who asked both brothers to join the army. At that time, I thought that dying in battle was better than not living. But now, looking at his legs, I regret it in my heart..."

Xu Yun didn't know about this, but after thinking about it, she pulled Aunt Deng aside and sat her down, telling her the truth: "No one wants something like this to happen. But if you don't join the army, can you really survive? Now, at least you're still alive. There's still a future."

Aunt Deng looked at the bricks on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief after a long while. "We can't survive. The Xianbei came to plunder, took the women back as slaves, and killed all the men. The food was also taken away. If there were no Xinghuo Army and artillery, the Xianbei would have killed us all long ago."

She curled her lips sarcastically: "Nan Yu doesn't want to care about us ordinary people. As soon as the Xianbei attacked, Emperor Nan Yu immediately ran south."

If you didn't save yourself and join the army to fight, the grass on your grave would be very tall today.

Well, maybe there won’t even be a grave, and the body will be left exposed in the wilderness!

Thinking of this, Auntie Deng felt much calmer. But she hated Nan Yu even more: "It's all those Nan Yu people who did it! If Emperor Nan Yu wasn't so cowardly, if they didn't like to engage in these conspiracies, my Dalang wouldn't have become like this!"

In the end, all the grief turned into resentment towards Emperor Nan Yu and the Nan Yu court!

Xu Yun scratched the wood under his butt with his fingers and felt that the attack on Nan Yu would not be delayed for more than three years.

I’m afraid that most of the people here share the same idea as Aunt Deng.

But they are not wrong.

It was indeed Nan Yu who abandoned them first.

But that was a matter for the future. She asked Aunt Deng, "Tomorrow we're going to buy some things. Do you want us to bring anything for you?"

Auntie Deng and her family had just moved in, so they were definitely short of things. And they didn’t have the time to go buy things themselves.

Aunt Deng thought about this and said, "I'll go with you tomorrow. We just arrived in Peking, so we need to get out and get familiar with the area. Hua Niang is at home. Let's have a chat with her husband and wife."

So, the next day, Aunt Deng really went out with Xu Yun and the others.

Just by looking at her red and swollen eyes and the dark circles under them, you can tell that she did not sleep well last night.

Xu Yun even wanted to persuade Aunt Deng to go back to sleep.

But seeing how she was trying hard to open the door, I thought, maybe going out for a walk could distract her from thinking about Luo Yuan. That would be better.

A few people were going out, and Ashu specially hired a car.

It was a donkey cart. Well, it wasn't a particularly good cart, just a wooden cart with some raised sides that could be used as handrails or to tie up goods.

Very practical.

It just doesn't look good, and even looks a bit gray and shabby.

But even so, Auntie Deng's eyes were filled with surprise. She touched the donkey's neck and asked Ah Shu, "Is this ours? Did Erlang buy it?"

Ah Shu nodded: "Yes, the general bought it for the purpose of bringing the eldest son back. There is a stable in the mansion, so it has been kept there. If the old lady needs a car in the future, just tell me."

"Okay. Okay. Okay." Aunt Deng walked around the donkey cart three times, looking extremely happy. Finally, she got on the cart carefully. Although the cart was hard, it did not prevent her from showing an expression of enjoyment at all: "I never thought that our family could buy a cart."

Although Xie Wanqing had not lived a very comfortable life, when she looked at the car in front of her, she could somewhat not understand Aunt Deng's emotion and happiness.

But when she thought about the fact that her family didn't even have a donkey cart, let alone a wheelbarrow, she could understand Aunt Deng's feelings.

You know, when we moved here before, we rented cars!

Hongyu was at home looking after the house and taking Tieniu with her, so the people who went there were, besides Ashu the coachman, Aunt Deng, Xie Wanqing and Xu Yun.

Even though the city of Peking had experienced several wars and had suffered massacres and looting, it still looked much richer than a small county town.

There are basically no tall buildings in small county towns.

But in the city of Peking, there are occasionally two- or three-story buildings, and most of the houses on both sides of the main road are brick and tile structures.

The shops are basically open.

But these shops, especially the better ones, are basically owned by the gentry or local wealthy families.

The three of them had no time to chat and just walked and looked around.

Finally, we arrived at the market where things were sold. There was a large open space here, which was used for buying and selling things. The surrounding shops were also selling things.

Xu Yun saw that white lines were drawn on the ground, dividing the open space into many small pieces horizontally and vertically. Symbols were also written in the small pieces.

And these vendors set up their stalls in these blocks.

There is an empty path between every two rows of stalls to facilitate people to move around.

I have to say, this looks really neat.

This alone is enough to make people feel that Beiping is different from other cities.
