Li Chengluo didn't give her fish before, because he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to see it, and when the time came, he would be stuck by the thorn, but now he caught a big fish and carefully picked good meat for her.

I really have a heart.

"Take it."

Su Yuqing happily prepared to take it, and even began to think about how to say something touching, but what was handed to her hand was a pair of fish bones, only the back was still sticking to the meat.

"This ......"

What about fish belly meat?

Su Yuqing held the wooden stick and didn't mean to eat at all.

"Eat!" Li Chengluo was eating the thornless fish belly, and said casually, "If you want to eat fish belly, go to the river to fish it yourself." ”

Su Yuqing was inexplicably aggrieved, "How can I make it?" ”

"With your eyes! Aren't your eyes very good? ”

She was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Chengluo's eyes, and suddenly felt weak and said nothing, chewing and eating the back of the fish slowly.

He had already noticed that her eyes were healed.

Originally, she wanted to take advantage of this time to observe Li Chengluo, but who knew that she couldn't hide it from him at all.

She pursed her lips and cursed secretly, "Old fox." ”

Li Chengluo's ears are excellent, "Little traitor." ”

Although the two were arguing, she felt very stable and rich in her heart, and she couldn't eat enough, but she seemed to be happier than before.

In the past, he was the prince, and she was the princess.

Although they are physically close enough, their hearts are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and each of them hides their thoughts.

Neither has really opened their hearts to the other.

Now they have nothing, but they have abandoned those false appearances, and every word comes from the heart.

To go to the country of Lai, just riding a horse will take a month.

If they walk, they start in March, and that's not even counting the troubles they will encounter on the way.

They had to walk across two rivers, climb over a mountain, and pass through a bandit village to reach the country of Li.

Not to mention anything else, because of the civil strife in Qiaoguo, all the dark forces began to move, and they began to hoard a large amount of grain and silver, trying to encroach on the territory.

When the people's grain is harvested, it is natural that many people want to survive and are forced to drag their families out to find food.

As a result, a large number of displaced people came out bravely, and the relatively close and relatively stable Li State became their first choice.

The two of them completely walked out of Qiao Kingdom, and they could no longer see the pursuers, but the situation outside here seemed to be even more severe.

They walked through patches of barren grass, countless corpses on the road, most of them only disfigured skeletons, their hair had long been cut off, and their slightly better clothes had been robbed for money.

People, in the case of satisfying survival, people are called people.

But when people can't eat enough, they are like wild beasts, without any moral standards, and all they want is to live.

Li Chengluo held Su Yuqing's hand tightly as she walked, and she could sense his nervousness.

After all, they stand out in the crowd.

Li Chengluo quickly pulled her behind a tree, avoiding the fleeing crowd, ripped off her hat, and grabbed a handful of mud and wiped it on her face.

After he finished wiping, he looked at Su Yuqing and smiled.

She laughed too, and then wiped a handful on his face, "You can do it too, don't be ugly for me." ”

Since they fled for their lives, their bodies have long been as dirty as mud, and this face is no different from the homeless, mixed in with the crowd, and no one notices them again.

In this atmosphere of despair, they made such a fuss, but they felt a lot more comfortable.

When Su Yuqing saw the dead homeless people along the road, she would help them overtake them, but every step she took was endless despair.

She looked up to the sun and asked the people around her, "You say, in this world, can we still see a peaceful and prosperous world?" ”

Li Chengluo took her hand and walked without saying a word.

But Su Yuqing still saw the regret and sadness in his eyes.

He has always been based on the people, whether it is his previous political achievements or the heart he treats the people, he is extremely sincere.

If he hadn't relied on his magic to control the Dragon Gate Guard, perhaps he would have been more suitable to be the emperor than anyone else.

But if he didn't use evil arts, he might not even have a chance to be on an equal footing with Li Heng.

And how can we talk about ascending to the throne?

After a long silence, Li Chengluo said: "If the world wants to be peaceful, there is only one way to unify." ”

Su Yuqing was thinking about the meaning of this sentence, and suddenly the old woman appeared out of nowhere.

She held the baby in her arms, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and knelt in front of them, "Good Samaritan, give rations, the child's father is already starving to death, if this child is dying, our family will be completely ruined, please help me." ”

The woman cried hoarsely, and Su Yuqing pinched the food in her hand, not daring to move at all.

Now all eyes were on them, and if she took out the food, it would inevitably attract a wave of beasts, and the situation would be unimaginable at that time.

Li Chengluo took her behind him and said to the woman in a kind voice, "I'm sorry, but we don't have any food. ”

As soon as these words came out, the old woman's big tears fell, and she also held on to the last glimmer of hope, feeling that there was a kind of nobility in the two people in front of her, so she decided to gamble.

But when she lost, she didn't cry, but bit her finger and fed it to the child's mouth.

One drop, two drops, three drops......

Li Chengluo is accustomed to seeing the helplessness of the world, and has already developed a steel-like endurance, but Su Yuqing is different, she is ashamed of her cowardice and indifference.

At night, most of the displaced people are asleep, and in the silence, snoring of various sizes is constantly heard.

Even if Su Yuqing was so tired that she didn't want to say anything, the old woman's expression kept spinning in her mind like a movie.

She tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at all.

Li Chengluo sensed her emotions and took her into his arms, "We can't save everyone, it's not your fault, the world grinds people, and no one is immune." ”

Her repeated tossing emotions, under the comfort of Li Chengluo, tears fell uncontrollably.

Li Chengluo took out a piece of cake, "Don't be silent." ”

Su Yuqing divided half of it and fed it to her mouth, and Li Chengluo turned his head, as if he wanted to leave the only surplus food to her.

But the more Li Chengluo hid, the more she didn't eat, and after all, Li Chengluo compromised.

They were so hungry that they could only chew and eat slowly, because there was not a drop of water left in the kettle.

Look up at the moon, bright and dazzling.

Li Chengluo whispered, "When you get to the Guanghe, there will be water." ”

"Hmm."

He just said this, talking about the road ahead, listening to the hope that was close at hand, Su Yuqing fell asleep.

Although their journey was tiring at first, fortunately, there were plenty of food and water, and it was not too difficult to walk.

Now they eat one day a day, and they can't resist the fact that the food has bottomed out.

And even a third of their journey is still there.

Under the scorching sun, people have no food to eat, and they can still hold on, but without water to drink, they will die of thirst in three days.

They hadn't drunk water for two days, and it was as if there was a ball of fire burning from their throats to their stomachs, and at this moment, Su Yuqing fell down.

It didn't take long for a coolness to come from Su Yuqing's mouth.

It's water!

She was in a daze, and her instinct for survival made her swallow water constantly.

Su Yuqing drank in a hurry, some water flowed out of the corners of her mouth, Li Chengluo didn't care about anything, and directly drank every drop of water flowing from the corners of her mouth.

Who knew that he was also hovering on the verge of death.

Su Yuqing woke up and was very puzzled when she saw the kettle in Li Chengluo's hand, and asked in her throat: "This, where did the water come from?" ”

"It's fine if you're okay."

She was suddenly anxious, now that everyone is unable to protect themselves, how can he have water in his hands?

She began to rummage through the package on Li Chengluo's body, and sure enough, she saw that more than half of their food was missing.

Su Yuqing instantly cried urgently, "How can you exchange food for water?" We will soon be at the Guanghe River, and soon there will be water, as long as we hold on...... Hang on...... It's fine, but there is no food, we should go on! ”

"You can't even walk without water."

Only then did she see that Li Chengluo's lips had already peeled, even worse than her lack of water, but he gave her all the water.

Su Yuqing's heart suddenly rose with shame.

Obviously, she is useless herself, and now she is also involved in Li Chengluo.

She didn't speak, shook the kettle and fed the last bit of water to Li Chengluo, "We have to live together." ”

Li Chengluo nodded.

After the two breathed a sigh of relief, they started to set off again, Su Yuqing's pair of shoes had already worn out holes, and every step hurt like a needle prick, but fortunately, when they looked up again, they finally arrived at Guanghe.

The moment I saw the river, the hardships and haze along the way dissipated at this moment.

"We have salvation."

They gulped down the river water, and even if they drank too much, they did not forget to fill their water bottles.

Su Yuqing had never encountered this kind of predicament, and after such an experience, her dependence on him in her heart deepened.

She happily hugged Li Chengluo, and she didn't let go, and she didn't know how to come back, but she was reluctant to let go.

Although they were only a third of the way through, they could finally see a little hope.

Li Chengluo pushed her away in disgust, like a slug, but he was as happy as her in his heart, "Okay, you stay here, I'll go find some food and come back." ”

Their food has already been eaten, and they don't have any silver on their bodies, even if they have silver, I'm afraid they can't afford to buy this expensive food, how can Li Chengluo find food?

"Wait! I'll go with you. ”

Li Chengluo knew that she was not at ease, so she opened her hair crown, and the pearl hidden in it also fell out, "I'll take this seriously, and we'll have silver." ”

Li Chengluo is used to living a hard life, and all problems seem to him to have solutions.

He took out another red ribbon and simply wrapped it around his hair.

Su Yuqing could see at a glance that the ribbon she had used to bandage Li Chengluo, but she didn't expect him to keep it.

Suddenly, something broke through the ground in her mind.
