The Concubine of Crossing

Li Xiao didn't expect Luo Laibao's reaction to be so strong, but the greater his reaction, it proved that the reason for his nonsense is really possible.

Li Xiao was a little speechless, how could he become more and more miserable, and he was able to starve to death.

But at this time, he couldn't care less about whether he was miserable or not, and his dear young master actually cried!

Cried!

Luo Laibao has always been well-behaved and cunning in front of him, and sometimes helpless and domineering.No matter what time, in front of him is full of vitality.

When had Li Xiao seen Luo Laibao cry like this, without saying a word, but tears streaming down his face, the desperation and collapse emanating from his whole body made Li Xiao's heart twitch.

Li Xiao was so frightened, he hurried over and hugged him into his arms, patted his back and kissed his forehead, "Fool, why are you crying, I'm here, I'm here."

The village head's wife just scrambled a plate of eggs, and was ready to bring them in with a smile to add to the distinguished guests' meal. When she looked up, she saw the two guests hugging each other. She was so frightened that she almost dropped the scrambled eggs in her hand. on the ground.

Li Xiao glanced at her indifferently, and the village chief's wife hurriedly backed out with her scrambled eggs, muttering in her heart as she walked, these two big men hugged each other day and night, and they didn't know how to be ashamed.

It's such a pity that the beautiful young man will tell the daughters-in-law later to stop worrying about it. They only like men, and they won't take a fancy to their daughters!

Li Xiao had no idea that their unintentional move saved him a lot of trouble.

All he can think about now is how to coax his man well.

It is said that men don't flick their tears lightly, but the man didn't say that the crying would be endless.

Li Xiao could only hug and coax people. He had no experience in coaxing people, but he saw how those adults coaxed their own babies. He patted and patted and hummed a little song.

Luo Laibao was really sad at first, when he heard Li Xiao's stomach growling, he immediately remembered the scene in his previous life when Li Xiao was always hungry and gave him all the food because he didn't have enough food.

At that time, he didn't want to eat it, so Li Xiao coaxed him that he had eaten it, and when he really ate it, he could hear the gurgling sound in his stomach not long after.

Later, when there was food again, Luo Laibao refused to eat alone, Li Xiao had no choice but to eat together in front of him.Luo Laibao didn't know what method he used, every time he watched him eat, but every time he heard his stomach rumbling.

At that time, there was a shortage of food, and he couldn't get enough to eat at all, and his stomach would growl soon, so he didn't realize that Li Xiao had almost given him all the food.

That kind of voice left him with too many complicated emotions.

At that time, life was really too difficult, and they were separated from others in another refugee wave, only Li Xiao carried him on his back, and never let go.

Luo Laibao let him go more than once. Without his encumbrance, with Li Xiao's ability, he would definitely be able to live well.

However, this fool, no matter what he said or scolded, even let him hit him on the back, he would not let go.

He carried him tightly, never leaving.

until he dies.

His vision became blurred again, the painful memories in his mind became distorted, and those pictures that he tried his best not to think about were flipping back and forth in his mind, and that kind of despair and loneliness was about to annihilate him again.

Then, he heard a little song sung by Li Xiao, the tune was cheerful and melodious, a tune that did not exist in this world.

Luo Laibao gradually calmed down.

His Xiaoxiao is still alive, and he is also alive, they are all still alive, and they have not been eaten by others.

Everything has started all over again.

This time his father was not wronged and imprisoned, his mother is alive and well, their family still has money that they can't spend in a few lifetimes, they can also hoard enough food for a few lifetimes, they will never be hungry again...

His Xiaoxiao will never be hungry again...

Luo Laibao wiped away the tears on his face, wiped them on his sleeves indiscriminately, and then showed a big smile to Li Xiao.

He swore that he would always smile at Xiaoxiao all his life, how could he cry because of a trivial matter?His Xiaoxiao only needs to keep looking at his smiling face and be by his side carefree all the time, and he will do the rest.

His Xiaoxiao had suffered enough in his previous life, so he just needs to live well in this life, as long as he... lives.

The meal took too long, and because of the weird expression of the village head's wife, no one else dared to come in and disturb her.

It wasn't until the two of them went out that the village chief's wife came in to clean up. She was shocked to find that the two of them had finished eating a large table of food.

How can two people who obviously don't look fat eat so much?

Moreover, a bowl fell on the ground, and she couldn't help but feel distressed. This bowl was borrowed from someone else, and now she has to pay it back.But thinking of the money given, she immediately felt relieved.That's silver, and it can be exchanged for a lot of copper plates.

Although Luo Laibao had sorted out his emotions when he went out, his eyes were red after crying for so long. Although everyone had doubts, they didn't ask any further questions.

The village chief rubbed his hands together and walked over with a smile, "Guest, where do you want to go? I'll let someone take you there."

Luo Laibao looked at Xiangniang, he remembered that Xiangniang said that she wanted to go to the mountains to pick flowers, although she also saw some of them along the way, but after all, they were things on the side of the road, not much.And rare flowers and plants are not always so easy to find.

Xiangniang thought for a while, "Let me walk around the village first, if I need to come back to find the village chief."

Luo Laibao nodded, if Xiangniang said she wanted to go into the mountains, they had to go along with her, otherwise he wouldn't be at ease.

Xiangniang took day lilies to dig grass around the village, and Li Xiao asked his third son to follow. Niu Dazhuang was afraid that they would get lost, so he quickly called his son to go up too.There is a villager following, so you have to rest assured after all.

As he left for a stroll, the village head rubbed his hands again, looking at the two expectantly.

Luo Laibao smiled, "The village chief, let someone calculate how much food you can get, and the price will be the same as last time, but you have to send it to my house... Well, you can get it over there. Where you drive, I will arrange a bullock cart for you."

When the village chief heard this, he was overjoyed, and suddenly felt that he shouldn't have charged for the lunch just now, and repeatedly asked the distinguished guests to sit first, so he asked someone to count the number.

Luo Laibao told Xiaodouzi, "Go and see too, and come back with an estimate of how many there are."

After sending everyone away, Luo Laibao carefully looked at Li Xiao, "Shall we...go to see the scenery?"

There is no good scenery at this time, but since Luo Laibao said so, Li Xiao still nodded.

However, although the location of this village is a bit off, the scenery is really good. Even in the early winter that has begun to be depressed, there are still many trees that are evergreen at a glance.

Moreover, there is a small stream passing by not far from the village, surrounded by mountains and rivers, if not for the poor people, this is indeed a good place.

Luo Laibao's heart moved, "How about we find a place where we don't have much food, hoard a lot of food, and live there for many, many years, and come out after the world is peaceful?"

Li Xiao looked at him, and said in the softest voice possible: "You said that if there is a two-year drought, there will be no water or food, right?"

Luo Laibao lowered his head, looking at his own reflection in the water, not daring to look at Li Xiao's expression, what would Xiao Xiao think of such a selfish self.

After a while, he pursed his lips, "It's not just a drought. Apart from natural disasters, there are also man-made disasters. The first emperor passed away and did not make a will. The second prince colluded with Di Guo for the sake of supremacy, and Di Guo helped the second prince." After ascending the throne, the second prince gave ten cities as a gift to Di Guo."

"Pucheng is among these ten cities."

Even though Li Xiao was prepared, he couldn't help but gasped.Isn't this betraying the country and seeking glory!

Moreover, if the king of a country betrays his country and seeks glory, one can imagine how chaotic the future will be.

Such a monarch must not be a wise monarch, he will not be faithful, he will be nepotism, his loyal ministers will be disappointed, and his treacherous ministers will be rampant. The scene above is full of scenes, and it is hard to imagine how difficult the lives of the people below are.

After a while, Li Xiao asked, "...how are the people in the ten cities?"

Luo Laibao smiled wryly, "During two years of drought, the fields had no crops. Di Guo did not get oil and water, so he vented his resentment on these people. The weather had improved in the third year, and it rained one after another. , is a good day for the spring watch, if the people can settle down to farming, life will naturally go on... However..." No one gave them a chance to live in peace.

"Refugees are like locusts crossing the border. There is no grass growing where they pass. All the food is eaten up, and even the roots of the trees are not left. We once thought about finding a place where no one goes, and growing some food for self-sufficiency..."

"But it's useless. Gu Guo closed the door to us, and the people of Di Guo chased and played with us... There is only so much scope for everyone's activities. The vegetable garden you planted was quickly discovered and ended up in someone else's belly. "

Li Xiao frowned, "I'm so useless?" Can't even keep a vegetable garden well?

Luo Laibao smiled wryly, "There are too many people...and they are all ordinary people. When a person is so hungry that he is about to lose his mind, he is not afraid of death. Let alone a group of such people."

Li Xiao pursed his lips, if it really came to the time when he needed to beat everyone to death to stop it...he might really not be able to do it.It's fine if they are villains, but they are just ordinary people who are so hungry that they are irrational.

"Is there no one to resist?" Li Xiao still couldn't understand. He felt that with his personality, it was impossible not to fight those Di people.

Luo Laibao smiled helplessly, "I'm the one who dragged you down..."

Li Xiao remembered that Luo Laibao had no legs at that time, if he hadn't been watching, he would definitely not be able to survive in such a troubled world.

Li Xiao lowered his head and kissed him on the forehead, "Isn't that good, I can endure such hardships for so many years, it shows that my choice at that time was right."

Luo Laibao suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Xiao with incredulous eyes, then his eyes dimmed again, he shook his head, "If it wasn't for me, you would definitely be able to escape, as long as you could escape, you would definitely be able to escape." Can live well."

Li Xiao put his hands on his shoulders, asked him to look up into his eyes, and said seriously, "There is no escape. Since it is a troubled world, it is useless to escape anywhere."

Luo Laibao looked into Li Xiao's eyes with a dazed expression.

He has always felt that if Li Xiao in the previous life was not dragged down by him, he would definitely be able to live well.Every time he talked about the things in his previous life, he would subconsciously want to escape those days of fleeing, not to think about it, as if he could really avoid those days as long as he did this.

He thought that he would earn a lot of money, he thought that he would save a lot of food, and he thought that when the dog emperor came to power, he would buy a high-ranking official to do it, so as to keep their family safe.

He thought about it a lot, but the future he imagined was, after all, his imagination.

There is no escape.

The country is prosperous and the people are safe. When the country is in a desperate situation, how can the common people be safe?

Inescapable, just four words, tore up all his luck and illusions.

Luo Laibao covered his face and smiled wryly, "What have I been doing these days?"

Li Xiao quickly hugged him into his arms and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, you will pay me back. If there is something you don't want to tell your parents, just tell me. We are husband and wife, and if there is something, let's find a solution together."

Luo Laibao plunged his head into Li Xiao's arms, and hugged him tightly. After a long time, he finally uttered a word, "En."
