Chapter 205 The war ceases

Author: Qiye

The war in Liaodong has stopped, and the happiest people are the people.

Prices will gradually return to pre-war levels, and people's lives will gradually improve.

In the past two years.

There are countless people who cannot survive.

Song Huan and others went all the way north. The places they passed on the road had relatively developed transportation. They could make some money by setting up tea sheds and selling some tea, hot water, etc. to the caravans on the road. Even so, they had already reached the point where they were eating tree bark.

The situation was so bad that we were occasionally harassed by robbers and bandits.

Not to mention other remote places, where people are starving and dying all over the place, it’s so miserable.

The village where Song Huan and the three of them are staying is called Zhujia Village. Ninety percent of the people in the village are named Zhu, and there are a few families with other surnames.

Song Huan and others did not rely on other people's homes this time. Due to the death of villagers, there were many empty houses in the village.

Song Huan went directly to rent a relatively good house from Li Zheng at the end of the village.

The environment is relatively quiet and suitable for two readers to study.

The nearest neighbor is more than a hundred feet away, so I don't have to worry about being heard by my neighbors when I speak.

The people of Zhujia Village were honest and responsible. They knew that the two scholars who came here were both senior officials, so they all tacitly agreed to prevent the children from disturbing them at the end of the village.

The snow was flying heavily, making a crunching sound when stepping on the snow.

Song Huan took a breath of hot air and rubbed her hands vigorously to warm them up.

Although she was mentally prepared, she really didn't expect the weather to be so cold near the end of the year. She even put on Fu Yuanzhi's coat, but she was still shivering from the cold.

But there is no way, we can't just be afraid of the cold and not come out.

The snow layer was very thick, so Song Huan tried his best to find thick tree trunks to bring back, which were more durable than thin firewood.

Even though the distance was a bit far, the ones that were closer to the village had already been carried home by the villagers. Only the ones that were too far away and too heavy for them to carry were left behind.

In fact, you can cut it into small pieces and take it back, but it won't be that resistant to burning. You have to keep adding firewood at night, which will test your courage in bed.

Fortunately, Song Huan was not short of energy, and after moving for several days, the two scholars at home finally stopped shaking too much.

Song Huan really wanted to keep everyone fed, but food prices had not recovered yet, and because he would have to stay in the capital for a few more months, although he still had some money in his pocket, he still wanted to save whatever he could.

Regardless of whether next year's examination can come as scheduled, you must be mentally prepared.

The first step is to start by saving money.

Song Huan was lucky today and caught a hare, estimated to weigh four to five kilograms.

They had not eaten meat for several days, and Song Huan felt that her mouth was bitter and her complexion was turning yellow.

Song Huan licked her lips that were itchy from the cold, and subconsciously touched the water bag with her hand. The tentacles were cold, and Song Huan quickly retracted her hand. It was so cold that it could freeze her teeth.

She might as well continue to be thirsty.

She shook her hands that were too cold to feel anything. She was so cold that she couldn't continue hunting. She should bring some firewood back.

Song Huan braved the wind and snow and returned to the house.

In fact, this house is not that good, and people can starve to death, which shows how poor the other party's family situation is.

There is air leakage from all sides, and the house has only four walls.

Fortunately, the weather was pretty good when we rented it, so Song Huan took care of it roughly. But now looking at the heavy snow weighing on the house, Song Huan is afraid that it will collapse.

Song Huan opened the door, and the strong wind carried the snow and immediately blew away the temperature in the room.

Fu Yuanzhi and his brother quickly put down their work and came to help.

The moment the door closed, Song Huan instantly felt her body warm up.

Song Huan took off the outermost coat that was already wet and put it next to the fire to dry.

He quickly took the hot water from his brother and blew it for a few times before swallowing it.

Song Huan felt comfortable after drinking water, and looked at the dried tofu residue in the smoked basket on the fire.

This was when they were on their way and met a peddler on the road. He was carrying a load selling tofu dregs. The tofu dregs were the leftovers from the tofu factory, and these peddlers would sell them.

In fact, in times of peace, you could get several large bowls of this thing for three cents, but now it costs ten cents a bowl.

At that time, Song Huan saw that the child on his back had a severe fever, so he wrapped up all the tofu dregs in his frame.

They have to buy food anyway, and they eat pretty much the same thing, and she also has the secret recipe of tofu dregs in her hand, which will allow them to get a certain amount of protein for a while in the future.

Song Huan took out a piece of tofu that was bigger than his fist.

Tonight they will eat fried tofu dregs and rabbit meat.

When my brother saw rabbit meat, he quickly added firewood to the fire and boiled more hot water to process the rabbit's internal organs.

Fu Yuanzhi frowned and took Song Huan to the window where the light was better.

"When did you get injured?" Fu Yuanzhi frowned.

After hearing this, my brother quickly put down his work and ran over.

At first glance, it turned out to be a pretty big wound.

I have never seen such a big wound on my sister for so long.

Two pairs of eyes, one big and one small, looked at Song Huan, waiting for her answer.

Song Huan was confused at first. After listening to Fu Yuanzhi's words, he lowered his head and looked at his hand. He saw a wound three knuckles long. The wound was a bit big, but it had solidified and agglomerated. There were purple-black bruises beside it. He looked at it.

Quite bluffing.

Song Huan shook his head, "It's too cold and I can't feel my hands."

Fu Yuanzhi sighed and said to his brother, "Brother, go and dig out the golden sore medicine."

After Fu Yuanzhi finished speaking, he went to scoop up a basin of hot water, "Sit here and I'll clean your wounds."

Song Huan sat down obediently and handed his hand to Fu Yuanzhi.

Fu Yuanzhi wiped it carefully and said, "If you encounter a small wound, just tell me."

Song Huan nodded and said with a guilty conscience, "Actually, it's okay, it doesn't hurt. It's already scabbed, and it'll be fine in a few days."

Before she went out in the snow, she promised the two men at home that she would not be hurt.

Now that I'm back with injuries, I don't know when I can go out again.

Although there were tofu dregs they bought in the carriage, as well as some rice, noodles, and dried vegetables, they could not just sit back and have nothing.

If this continues, Song Huanlao will feel insecure.

Even if this is temporary.

Fu Yuanzhi was silent and did not speak, his expression was quite serious.

In fact, he has been tortured in his heart.

Although he had long been accustomed to Song Huan being at home, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.

In this situation, the man was supposed to support the woman, but he was too incompetent. He didn't want Song Huan to live too hard, but now it was counterproductive. It was better to be relaxed and comfortable in Darongshu Village.

Fu Yuanzhi despised himself for being useless in his heart, but became more and more cautious with his hands.

When Song Huan saw Fu Yuanzhi like this, she thought he was angry, so she silently shut her mouth and did not dare to speak again.

I'm afraid that if I say too much, I won't agree to go out again.

Today she specially marked the place where she found the hare. Since there was a hare there, there must be more than one. She also wanted to catch a few more tomorrow so that she could make one more leather jacket.

Song Huan looked aside, and it happened that Adi had already brought the medicine.

Song Huan moved his gaze downward again, right on the fire.

Um?

There seems to be a lot of firewood today.

It was so smokey that she couldn't open her eyes.

Adi looked at Ajie's appearance and said, "..."
