At night, Wang Qianshan returned home from the barracks, Qu Xianwei's form became more and more severe day by day, and there was a gradual shortage of food in the city, and there had been several disputes over food these days.

Although he had ordered the food in the city to be gathered together and distributed in rations every day, if the wind and sand outside continued, it was only a matter of time before the food ran out, and people could do anything to survive, even if it was cannibalism.

The most terrible thing is that this morning when the soldiers were cooking, they suddenly found that the well was out of water, Wang Qianshan rushed to check, and yesterday's bottomless well was only a pile of dry and cracked black mud. Walking along the city, the three wells in the city dried up overnight, and even if they dug a few feet deep, there was still no trace of water.

If you don't have food, you can still live for a while, but if you can't do it, you can still slaughter military horses to save your life, and once the water is gone, people will be more uncomfortable than death in three or two days.

Wang Qianshan was busy for a day, he didn't get anything but a stinky sweat, he walked into the door dejectedly, thinking about how to talk to Ruhua for a while, as soon as he stepped into the yard, he heard a strange laughter from the house.

There were men and women laughing, two of them were obviously his wife and children, and the rest was his own but he couldn't hear it anyway.

……

Who can come to their house in the middle of the night? Isn't it like a flower stealing people behind her back? As soon as Wang Qianshan had this thought, he shook his head again, and gave himself a mouthful by the way.

It's not that he feels guilty because he doesn't trust his wife, but that the whole Qu Xianwei can't find a second person who is as obsessed with a flower as him.

Wang Qianshan walked towards the hall with doubts, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he smelled a fragrance, he frowned and sniffed with his nose, it was actually roast chicken!

Qu Xianwei still has chickens now, and usually catching a worm on the ground is a meat dish.

Just as I was about to reach out and touch the doorknob, the door opened from the inside.

"Why did you come back so late?" Ruhua looked at Xianggong who was stunned at the door, "Come in quickly, there are guests at home." ”

"Guest?"

Wang Qianshan walked into the room suspiciously, and a fragrance that was even stronger than before rushed to his nose, and when he came to the dinner table, the table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas came into view.

……

Wang Qianshan rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had been hungry for too long, according to his observation, the crispy outside and tender on the inside should be roast duck on the table, and the bowl of dishes like chowder was like shark fin, but even vermicelli could be used to rotate three or four bowls of rice.

The rest are steamed osmanthus fish, boiled roe deer meat, charcoal-grilled sow trotters, and the most surprising thing for him is that those desserts are actually what he likes to eat.

"Don't be stunned, you won't say hello when your brother comes."

Ruhua gently pushed him from behind, and Wang Qianshan reacted and looked at the strange man at the table.

The man was smiling and looked very familiar, but he looked only in his twenties, how could it be his brother?

"Long time no see." The man spoke calmly.

"Uh...... Yes. ”

Wang Qianshan sat opposite in embarrassment, and served himself a bowl of soup, but he wondered in his heart when he would have an extra brother, and people came with such a sumptuous dinner, it would be too hurtful for him to say that he didn't know him.

Fortunately, the man didn't say anything superfluous, Wang Qianshan put the shark fin in his mouth while recalling his life, and when he raised his head again, he looked at the man in white with a slight smile, and his mind suddenly seemed to be electrocuted.

With a "poof", Wang Qianshan sprayed a mouthful of shark fin to the side.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

There was a dissatisfied voice from his son on the side, he had eaten well, but his father suddenly squirted over with a mouthful of shark fin on his head and face, and he could stand it.

……

Ruhua frowned when she saw this, took out a handkerchief to help her son wipe it, and her eyes couldn't stop looking at Wang Qianshan at the same time, I don't know what happened to him today, and I couldn't give up my soul as soon as I came back.

Wang Qianshan wiped his mouth and said:

"The soup was too hot just now."

After speaking, his eyes glared at the man opposite, and the latter seemed to have no eyes at all, eating by himself.

Ruhua also sat down after cleaning up, and asked:

"I heard that the wind and sand outside are so tight now that even the imperial court is helpless, how did you bring in this large pile of things, brother."

"Oh, I found a guide who was familiar with the local situation, and he knew a path without wind and sand." The man in the white shirt said casually.

"Huh? The concubine has lived here for thirty years, but she has never heard of any paths, and if my brother doesn't mind, can you tell us about this path, so that we don't have to worry about food in the future. ”

"Naturally." The man nodded with a smile.

The two are still chatting here!

……

Ruhua is quite curious about this brother, the other party doesn't look very old, and his conversation is very different from his own father-in-law, but the two have a lot of similarities in appearance, even compared with their own son, they are also a little similar.

Therefore, she did not doubt the identity of the other party, but just looked at the way her husband wanted to speak and stopped, and there seemed to be another hidden secret.

Wang Qianshan wants to speak and stop, every time his mother-in-law calls the other party's brother, he can't help but twitch, where is the brother in front of him, it is clearly his father.

Rao is Wang Qianshan has seen the other party's amazing ability to cut out the moat with a sword, and in his heart he still classifies it in the category of martial arts, and now he sees that his father, who should be the age of the sixtieth birthday, is younger than himself, so he can't help but believe it.

"What, have you eaten enough, brother...... Grow, let's go out and talk? ”

Wang Qianshan really couldn't stand Ruhua calling each other her husband and brother, and his son also coaxed his uncle, if he continued like this, he was really afraid that a thunder would come down and kill him.

……

When they came to the courtyard, the father and son sat at the rattan table and were silent for a while before Wang Qianshan spoke:

"Father, why are you here?"

"Call brother."

"You look younger than me, do you think it's appropriate?"

"Then it's appropriate for you to call me Father?"

“……”

Xu is Wang Quanquan looks too young, Wang Qianshan, who has never liked to deal with him, has quarreled with him, if there are outsiders present, maybe they will treat the two as close friends.

Wang Quanquan didn't tease the other party anymore, unfolded the folding fan and shook it gently:

"If I could, I wouldn't want to come here like this, my real body is still in the capital."

"You're a doppelganger now?"

"It seems that you really read the book I gave you, strictly speaking, it is not a doppelganger, but an incarnation outside the body.

The doppelganger will scatter at the touch of it, which is not suitable for this mission, but the avatar can be the same as the main body, and it can also exert three successes, the only drawback is that it cannot change its appearance.

I received a letter from you before, saying that there are often winds and sands raging here, and the supply can't come in for ten days and half a month, and I didn't take it seriously at first, but a few days later, Qin Tianjian said that there were demon stars in the northwest, so I decided to come and see it in person. ”

Wang Qianshan frowned when he heard this, "The wells in the city all dried up overnight, and Erchen is distressed, could it be that it is also related to this so-called demon star?" ”
