Zu Na looked at Zu Ti a little helpless, and knew that there was really no way to do it, so he nodded and said: "Tongguan is the only way to travel between Luoyang and Chang'an, I think there should be business travelers to come, although it is a troubled time, but I think there will always be bold merchants who dare to find and open up the trade route after the troubled times......"

"Hey, that's what I said, but now that the war is everywhere, where did the big caravan come from?! If so, why would we do all those robberies, but there is one thing, no one is allowed to rob the people, and if I knew it, I would not spare it! ”

"Yes, this must be regulated!"

"Second brother, I think we should also get some fish in the Yellow River to save the emergency?"

"Fishing? Ay! That's just a drop in the bucket! ”

"Better than nothing! (Talking is better than nothing, a sentence is from Tao Yuanming's poem "and Liu Caisang": "Although a weak woman is not a man, the consolation is better than nothing, so I will quote it in advance here) I hope that Lao Cui of Chengguan can come back as soon as possible, and it is best to bring more food back! ”

"Third brother, don't get your hopes up, I feel that the road is a little far away, how many people is Lao Cui? How much food can you bring back? Ay! ”

Hearing Zu Na's words, Zu Ti suddenly lowered his expectations for Lao Cui and them a lot......

"Hey, what the second brother said is that I can't expect them too much, it's my own expectations that are too high! If there is a better way, why wait for this distant water to save us from the near fire here! ”

"It's not like anyone who can think of some way, we all have to try it, whether it works or not, now that the rat meat has been eaten, what else dare not eat and dare not think!"

"Haha, I heard that Liu Kun even ate locusts in Bingzhou, this kid is so smart that he can even think of eating locusts!"

When Zu Na heard Zu Ti burst into foul language in front of him, he immediately laughed: "Haha, yes, don't talk about locusts now, but anything that can run, jump and climb, as long as it passes in front of me, I want to take a bite!" ”

"Haha, second brother, you, the big housekeeper, are so anxious! Hahaha! ”

"Hehehe, no matter what, get through this winter first, as long as it is spring and the earth recovers, we can breathe a sigh of relief! It's just that we don't have a long-term plan, if we want to stay in Tongguan for a long time, we still need to leave seeds to open up wasteland in the spring of next year, but now we don't have to think about anything, we don't have anything to eat, where do we get any seeds! ”

"Hey, only let people go out hunting first, but everything that can be found to eat, we have to find it, I just hope that God will be pitiful, and he can give us more food and supplies, even if a bag of grain is 10,000 gold, I am willing to change!"

Zu Ti's words suddenly warmed Zu Na's heart, what does it mean to love the people like a son, isn't this it?! The more difficult and arduous it is, the more you can see the essence of a person, this third brother of his own, is indeed good, and it is worth contributing to him!

Zuna nodded thoughtfully, and said cautiously: "Now the problem of food has indeed reached the level of burning eyebrows, and if you don't want to find a way to come out, how can you survive this winter?"

Seeing that his second brother was also so worried about the food, Zu Ti had no choice but to divert the topic and said: "Second brother, you let Xiaocao, Xie Ai, and Sun Sheng go to Tongguan Prison, but is there any deep meaning?" ”

Hearing Zu Ti's question, Zu Na smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, you'll know when the time comes!" ”

Zu Ti looked at Zu Na inexplicably, and he really didn't know what Zu Na had in mind......

At this moment, Xiaocao and Xu Yuan were still looking for Xu, and the two of them ran all over the women's camp and didn't find Xu, and they didn't even see Xu in the newly formed swallow camp.

Just when the two children were in a hurry, they didn't want Xu to come back from the juvenile camp alone!

It was also a coincidence that Xiaocao and Xu Yuan were also at the entrance of the women's camp (the women's camp was at the back of the youth camp, separated by a fence in the middle), and when Xu Yuan saw Xu, she immediately jumped up happily, and jumped as she ran: "Mother! Mother, Yuan'er misses her mother! ”

Xu didn't expect that he would meet Xu Yuan as soon as he entered the women's camp, and he immediately smiled, ran a few steps, squatted down, and hugged the little Xu Yuan who was running!

Xu Shi hugged Xu Yuan affectionately, kissed Xu Yuan's little face, and said happily: "Yuan'er, where have you been all day?" It's easy to find for a mother! ”

"Yuan'er also misses her mother, so I've been looking for my mother, but I haven't found it for more than half an hour, and I'm in a hurry to kill Yuan'er!"

"So anxious to find a mother? What's wrong? Who bullied my daughter-in-law?! Xu Shi glared at Xu Yuan while glaring at the grass on the side!

Xu Yuan obviously felt Xu's hostility towards Xiaocao, and hurriedly persuaded: "Mother, it's not about Sister Xiaocao's business, Yuan'er has something important to tell her mother!" ”

After listening to Xu Yuan's words, Xu Shi looked a little surprised, what can happen to such a small child?

Xu smiled and said, "Good Yuan'er, what is the matter?" Come on, tell my mother slowly! ”

"Mother, Yuan'er went to the people's camp just now and found that many people were sick, and I heard Brother Zhong and Ge Hong say that it is very likely that the winter plague is about to happen, so Yuan'er and Sister Xiaocao are in a hurry to find their mother!"

"What winter plague?!" Xu looked at Xu Yuan incredulously, and then at Xiaocao.

Seeing that Xu Shi was looking at him, Xiaocao also nodded quickly, and said, "Mastermother, this matter is true, Ge Hong and the others have already gone to tell General Zu Li!" ”

Hearing this, Xu Shi frowned and pondered for a while, and then said for a long time: "In this case, we must also take precautions everywhere in the women's camp, hey, it's a pity that there are no female doctors ......" Speaking of this, Xu Shi was silent for a while before continuing to say to Xiaocao: "Xiaocao, you go and inform Song Yuan and Cherry, and let them tell you about the matter of the swallow camp!" ”

"Slaves obey!"

Xu Shi nodded and said, "Well, I'll go and tell the others, let's go separately, I'll go to the swallow camp and tell you later, Xiaocao, you have to go to Tongguan Prison later, right?" ”

"Yes, Mistress!"

As soon as Xu Yuan heard the words "Tongguan Prison", she immediately became curious: "Sister Xiaocao, are you going to Tongguan?" Okay, okay, I'm going too! ”

As soon as Xu Shi saw that Xu Yuan was coming again, he hurriedly said: "Yuan'er, you are a dignified daughter, how can you go to a place like the prison, don't talk nonsense anymore, go back with your mother, and your mother will make you something delicious!" ”

"Don't! Don't! I'm going with Sister Xiaocao! “

"Yuan'er, don't mess around! Xiaocao, let's go! After Xu finished speaking, he hugged Xu Yuan and left, no matter how Xu Yuan messed around, he just hurried to his tent, this winter plague had to be prevented, she had to hurry up and notify the precautions as soon as possible, just in case!

Xiaocao watched Xu take Xu Yuan away, especially when she saw Xiao Xu Yuan crying, she suddenly felt a little melancholy, I don't know why, Xiaocao suddenly felt that she missed her Aunt Hong more and more......

On September 18, 311 A.D., in the evening, Tongguan Prison

Xie Ai had been waiting at the entrance of the prison early, he looked left and right, looked around, and said to himself: Huh? Why haven't Xiaocao and Sun Sheng come yet? What time has it been? Am I the only one who takes Zuna's words seriously?! Hmph, yes, I didn't write any military orders and didn't have any supervision, hey, why are I so looking forward to cleaning the prison......
