Chapter 205: The war stops
When the war in Liaodong stopped, the happiest people were the people.
Prices will gradually return to their pre-war levels, and people's lives will gradually turn around.
Nearly two years.
There are countless people who can't stand it.
Song Huan and the others went all the way north, and the places they passed on the road were quite developed, and they could still earn some income by selling some tea and hot water to the caravans on the road by setting up a tea shed, and even then they had reached the point of eating tree bark, and occasionally they would be harassed by robbers and bandits, and the situation was very bad.
Not to mention other remote places, starvation and misery.
The village where Song Huan stayed was called Zhujia Village, and ninety percent of the people in the village were surnamed Zhu, and a few of them had foreign surnames.
Song Huan and the others did not use other people's homes this time, because the villagers died, and there were many empty houses in this village.
Song Huan went directly to Lizheng and rented a relatively intact house, at the end of the village.
The environment is relatively quiet, suitable for two readers.
The nearest neighbor is more than 100 feet away, and he is not afraid of being heard by his neighbors.
The people of Zhujia Village are honest and dutiful, and they know that the two scholars who came are both masters, and they tacitly stop the children in the family from going to the end of the village to disturb them.
The snow is falling, and there is a crunching sound when stepping on the snow.
Song Huan took a breath of hot air and rubbed his hands vigorously to warm his hands.
Although she was mentally prepared, she really didn't expect the weather to be so cold near the end of the year, she put on Fu Yuanzhi's jacket, and she was still shivering with cold.
But there is no way, you can't be afraid of the cold and not come out.
The snow layer is very thick, and Song Huan tries his best to find those thick tree trunks to bring back, which is more resistant to burning than fine firewood.
It's a little farther away, and those who are close to the village have long been carried home by the villagers, and only those who are too far and heavy to take them are not good to take, so they stayed.
In fact, you can chop it into small pieces and take it back, but it is not so burn-resistant, and you have to add firewood all the time at night, which is too much of a test of the courage of the bed.
Fortunately, Song Huan did not lack strength, and after moving for several days, he finally made sure that the two scholars at home would not tremble too much.
Song Huan really wanted everyone to be full, but the price of food had not yet recovered, and because there were still a few months to stay in the capital, although he still had a few dollars in his pocket, he still wanted to save if he could.
Regardless of whether next year's examination can come as scheduled, you must be mentally prepared.
The first step is to save money.
Song Huan was lucky today and caught a hare, estimated to be four or five catties.
They hadn't eaten meat for a few days, and Song Huan felt that his mouth was bitter and his face was yellow.
Song Huan licked her itchy lips, her hand subconsciously touched the water bladder, the tentacles were cold, and Song Huan quickly retracted her hand, it was too cold, it could freeze her teeth.
She'd better keep thirsty.
She shook her hand that was frozen and unconscious, she was stupid, and she couldn't continue hunting, so bring some firewood back.
Song Huan braved the snow and returned to the house.
In fact, this house is not very good, and people can starve to death, which shows how bad the other party's family background is.
The air leaks on all sides, and the house is surrounded by walls.
Fortunately, the weather was quite good when he rented it, so Song Huan roughly dealt with it, but now that he saw the heavy snow pressing down on the house, Song Huan was afraid that it would be crushed.
Song Huan pushed open the door, and the strong wind carried the wind and snow, immediately blowing away the temperature in the house.
Fu Yuanzhi and Ah Di hurriedly put down the work in their hands and came over to help.
The moment the door closed, Song Huan instantly felt his body warm up.
Song Huan took off the outermost coat that had been wetted and put it next to the fire to dry.
Hurriedly took the hot water sent by my brother, and swallowed it after a few mouthfuls.
Song Huan, who drank the water, felt comfortable, and looked at the tofu residue that was already a little dry in the smoked basket on the fire.
This is when they were in a hurry before, they met a merchant on the road, and he carried the burden and sold tofu dregs, which were leftover from the tofu factory, and these merchants would take them out and sell them.
In fact, when this thing was in peace, three yuan could get several large bowls, and now it also needs ten yuan a bowl.
At that time, Song Huan saw that the child on his back was already very feverish, so he wrapped all the tofu dregs in his frame.
Anyway, they have to buy food, everything they eat is almost the same, and she still has the secret recipe of tofu dregs in her hand, which can make it possible to get a certain amount of protein for a period of time in the future.
Song Huan took out a tofu dregs larger than his fist from inside.
Tonight they will eat fried tofu and rabbit meat.
When Ah Di saw that there was rabbit meat, he hurriedly added firewood to make a fire and boiled more hot water to treat the rabbit's internal organs.
Fu Yuanzhi frowned, pulled Song Huan and walked to the window in the room with better lighting.
"When was it hurt?" Fu Yuanzhi frowned.
Hearing this, Ah Di hurriedly put down the work in his hand and ran over.
At first glance, it was a big wound.
For so long, I really haven't seen such a big wound from Sister A.
Two pairs of eyes, one big and one small, looked at Song Huan in unison, waiting for her answer.
Song Huan was still inexplicable at first, and after listening to Fu Yuanzhi's words, he looked down at a wound three knuckles long in his hand, the wound was a little big, but it had already solidified and clumped, and there were purple-black bruises next to it, which looked quite bluffing.
Song Huan shook his head, "It's too cold, and my hands are unconscious." ”
Fu Yuanzhi sighed and said to Ah Di, "Ah Di, you go and turn out the gold sore medicine." ”
After Fu Yuanzhi finished speaking, he went to scoop up a basin of hot water again, "Sit here, I'll clean your wounds." ”
Song Huan sat down honestly and handed his hand to Fu Yuanzhi.
Fu Yuanyi said while wiping it carefully, "If you encounter a small wound, tell me." ”
Song Huan nodded, and said weakly, "Actually, it's okay, it doesn't hurt." It's all scabbed, and it will be fine in a few days. ”
Before she went out in the snow, she promised the two men in her family that she would not be hurt.
Now that I'm back with an injury, I don't know when I'll be able to go out again.
Although there were tofu dregs they had bought, some rice, noodles, and dried vegetables in the carriage, they couldn't sit and eat empty.
If this continues, Song Huan Lao feels insecure.
Even if it's temporary.
Fu Yuanzhi was silent and did not speak, his expression was quite serious.
He was actually tormented all the time.
Although he has long been accustomed to being outside Song Huan at home, he is still uncomfortable in his heart.
In this case, it should have been a man who held up a world for a woman, but he was too incompetent, he didn't want Song Huan to have a hard time, but now it backfired, and it was better to be at ease when he was in Big Banyan Village.
Fu Yuanzhi spurned himself in his heart that it was useless, but he became more and more cautious in his hands.
When Song Huan saw Fu Yuanzhi's appearance, he thought he was angry, so he silently closed his mouth and didn't dare to speak again.
I'm afraid that if I talk too much, I won't agree to go out again.
Today she made a mark in the place where the hare was found, since there was a hare infested, there must be more than one, and she also wanted to catch a few more tomorrow and come back, when the time came, she could spell out one more leather jacket.
Song Huan turned his gaze to the side, and it happened that Ah Di had already taken the medicine.
Song Huan moved his gaze down again, just on the fire.
Well?
There seems to be a lot of smoke today.
It was so smoked that she couldn't open her eyes a little.
Brother looked at Sister A's appearance, "......"
Fortunately, there is still someone in the family who can suppress Sister A, otherwise......
