"How long will it take?" The generals looked at Zhao Kui with burning eyes, this was what they were most concerned about.

Zhao Kui stretched out two fingers rather helplessly, "Twenty days." ”

"Twenty days? It's not that the cucumber dishes are cold, what kind of battle is there if you don't eat it!! ”

"Yes! General, twenty days is too long. What is the use of waiting for them to arrive at least a month later? ”

When the subordinates heard that it would take twenty days for the imperial court to start transporting grain, some people immediately complained.

Zhao Kui smiled bitterly; "What's the solution! The letter is a personal letter from His Majesty, you can take a look at it. Fortunately, this time it was delivered in batches, and the first batch of military rations should arrive some time earlier. After speaking, Zhao Kui handed the letter in his hand to the deputy general and asked them to circulate it to each other.

After the generals read it one by one, everyone's faces became helpless.

The emperor's tone in the letter was quite kind, but the reality was that the imperial court was indeed out of food now, and the emperor and the imperial court had done their best.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, they all sighed, no way!

At this time, the soldiers of the Song army had already packed up, and with Zhao Kui's order, the herald quickly spread among the troops, and the Song army, which had spread for several miles, began to slowly roll forward again.

After waiting for two hours, Song Jun's figure disappeared from the woman's field of vision.

I saw that she cautiously poked her head out and looked back and forth, and after making sure that it was safe, she slipped down the dirt slope next to the ridge with the boy on her back.

When she arrived at the bottom of the mountain, she patted her hands on the dirt, and the woman ran towards the camp of the Song army with an excited face.

She didn't notice just now that in a forest opposite her, there was a big man in tattered clothes waiting quietly for Song Jun to leave.

But just as the man was about to come out of the woods, he noticed that she had slipped down the dirt slope. Then he quietly backed away, and retreated into the woods again.

Looking at the elated woman through the gap in the branches, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind!

The woman didn't expect that there were still people nearby staring at their mother and son. The woman, who didn't notice the danger, just ran to the abandoned camp of the Song army with excitement on her face, rummaging through the items discarded by the Song army.

Half an hour later, the woman had climbed hundreds of meters and found nothing.

But just as she was sitting on the ground and her head was downcast, her eyes wandered to a gray sack under a plank.

The woman's spirits perked up.

Like a stray dog smelling bones, he crawled over on all fours.

"Whoa!" The plank smashed into a piece of splintered wood on one side and collided with it.

The woman struggled to open the broken gray sack pulled from under the plank, and at the sight of it, her face was instantly overwhelmed with ecstasy.

'Whoa... Yikes! The woman laughed like a night owl, and then reverently took out a handful of yellow, moldy rice from the broken sack. Tears flowed down his cheeks like a cascade, his breathing became rapid, and his shoulders shook and shook.

Golden sunlight passed through the woman's fingers, staining her pious, protruding skull face with a hint of holiness. The woman carefully put her nose close to the palm of her hand and sniffed the rice, but the musty smell of the rice made her seem to smell a fragrance and look satisfied.

"Crunch... Crunch! ”

The sound of footsteps rubbing against the ground was extremely subtle, and the man in tattered clothes had quietly walked more than ten steps behind the mother and son.

I saw him clutching a wooden stick more than half a meter long in his right hand, bowing his body slightly, and slowly moving towards the mother and son in front of him. If it weren't for the closeness, people would hardly be able to detect his footsteps.

This man's skull is also high and protruding, and it is obvious that he is also a hungry person who has been hungry for a long time.

The closer he was to the mother and son, the faster the man secreted his saliva, licking his chapped lips with the tip of his tongue from time to time.

His eyes turned red, and he didn't blink, staring at the mother and child not far away, one big and one small, with their backs to them, and their faces were hideous, just like the leopard that saw its prey.

As the man cautiously moved five steps behind the woman, the boy's ears on the woman's back suddenly twitched slightly, and then he turned his head curiously to look behind him.

"Wow! Who are you? Mother has someone ......! The boy was directly frightened by the man's hideous expression, and his little face turned pale, and he hurriedly shouted to his mother!

When the woman with an intoxicated face heard her son's shout, she hurriedly turned her head to look, and the mildew in her hand, which she regarded as a treasure, was scattered on the ground in an instant. At the critical moment, she burst out with all her strength and dodged to the side.

At the moment when she turned her head, the man was already startled by the voice of the male baby, and immediately no longer concealed his body and sneak attack, but strode forward directly with a cruel smile, raised the wooden stick in his hand and immediately smashed it towards the woman's head.

"Poof! Click....."

The sound of the man's imaginary brain bursting did not happen.

Because this woman was dying and dying, her body was slightly deviated to the side, and she narrowly avoided the man's fatal blow.

But her head dodged, but her body didn't. The stick slammed into the woman's left shoulder, and there was an instant crackling sound.

"Click!"

"Ahh

The woman let out a cry of pain, her right hand quickly covered her left arm, her forehead quickly covered with beads of sweat, and she looked at the person behind her in horror.

When the boy on his back saw that his mother was injured, his tears couldn't stop flowing, and his mouth grew big, but he couldn't make a sound.

"Who are you? What do you want? The woman frowned bitterly and cried out.

The man was stunned at first, but after hearing the woman's reprimand, he quickly came back to his senses.

Looking at the woman in front of him who was kicking and moving backwards with her legs kicking wildly, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes again.

"Giggle...! Do? Don't you know......" he spoke, with a hint of disdain and greed in his eyes.

Then he grinned, and approached the woman who was close at hand, and his expression was even more cruel and crazy under the woman's desperate gaze.

The man's blow directly exhausted all his strength, although he is also hungry now, but after all, the foundation of his body is still there, so the strength he wielded should not be underestimated.

Just listen to it again "Bang!" After a sound, the man bent over and panted, his face full of ugliness.

He waved hard this time, but he was dodged by this weak woman again.

The woman's face turned even paler, and after stealing a glance at the wooden stick on the ground that was short into two knots, a flash of happiness flashed in her eyes.

But it doesn't end there.

missed twice, and the man was already annoyed and angry at this time.

Although he was already hungry, after some tossing, he was about to be exhausted at this time, and the lamp ran out.

But he didn't have the slightest intention of letting go of the meal in front of him.

He propped himself up with the stick in his hand, gasped for a few seconds, gritted his teeth and swayed at the woman again.

This time the woman had no good luck as before, and after a pop her thin face had turned blood-red. Blood slowly flowed from his cheeks to his jawbone, and from there, to the placket of his chest, which quickly appeared a dirty red.

The woman laughed, and despite the pain in her left arm, she ruffled the messy hair from her face and giggled.

Her laughter is completely different from the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, the delicate beauty laughing.

With a hint of relief, a hint of pleasure, but it is difficult to listen to, and there is no beauty at all.

"Mother! He... He's dead! Is it? ”

With the boy on her back, the curious shouts pulled the woman back to reality.

I saw that she first looked at the man who was carrying out of his chest with a wooden stick on his back, and then turned her head and smiled and comforted her son on his back; 'Yes! He's dead. We've got meat to eat in the evening. ’

As soon as the boy heard that there was meat to eat, he instantly jumped off the woman's back, smiling and cheering excitedly;

'That's great! There was meat again. An An hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

I remember the last time I ate meat, I only ate it when Abba died and An An died! ’

The boy's immature voice made the woman's face, which was originally a little smiling, instantly full of tears, and she cried loudly.

Its cry is like a cry, like a cuckoo crying blood, and its tears are endless, like the passing water.

At this time, she still seemed to hear the conversation between her husband and the two when he was leaving;

'Late Mother.

If we continue like this, we'll all die. Promise me! You two must live, as much as you can... Try to bring An'an big! ’

'Husband! No...! Yes!!! ’

'Mother, what's wrong with you?' Isn't it supposed to be happy to eat meat, why are you crying. An An looked at her tearful mother with a puzzled expression, tilted her head, and sucked her fingers with a puzzled expression.

When the woman heard this, she cried and took the child in front of her in her arms.

rubbed his dusty sleeve twice on his face, and pressed his thin face against his son's cheek, revealing a hint of a smile; 'Husband, don't worry! Even if I die, I will bring An An up. The incense of the old Wang family cannot be broken. ’

Night!

Everything is silent, the sky is full of stars and sand, and insects are chirping among the mountains.

During the day, the boy named An An was sucking his thumb with a mouth full of oil, looking satisfied.

Suddenly he thought of something, and he asked the woman who was drinking light rice porridge by the campfire;

"Mother, when will Abba come back? An An misses him" When the little boy asked, his dark eyes were very bright and curved into a crescent moon.

The movement of the woman's hand froze immediately.

barely pulled out an ugly smile, hugged his son, pointed to the brightest star on the northern side of the Milky Way and said;

'See?' Ann.

That's Dad, who keeps watching us. ’

The little boy An An, his dark eyes suddenly brightened a little.

Following his mother's fingers, he looked at the bright North Star due north of the Milky Way and exclaimed; "Abba lives in such a beautiful place! An An also wants to go. ”

When the woman heard this, she looked kind, hugged the boy in her arms tighter, and laughed indulgently; Yes, we will live in such a beautiful place like Abba in the future! ’

'Great..... boy stretched out his hand excitedly, as if to fly towards the distant North Star.

……

Polaris seemed to be frightened, and hurriedly removed from the little boy and set his eyes on the banks of the Trouble River in the north of the earth.

A snow-white horse on the edge of the rocky beach looked even more brilliant under the starry sky.

From time to time, it kicked the pitch-black hooves of the horses, tilting its head to glance at the Zhang Han couple snuggled on the boulder.

Ye Li Kedun snuggled up to Zhang Han's broad chest with a shy face, and asked in a low voice; 'Forehead, do you think I'll get fat when the baby comes out?' ’

Zhang Han looked down at his wife's wrinkled little face, and was even more pity.

smiled and comforted;

"Don't worry! In Zhang Han's heart, you will always be the most beautiful. ”

After listening to it, his heart suddenly became much more steady.

Ruby's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and she pouted and gently hammered down on her husband's chest.

'It's going to make people laugh! ’

"That's it! Who made me your man, who don't coax you? Zhang Han looked proud.

"With such a sweet mouth, is there something hiding from me?" Ye Li Kedun pulled his head out of Zhang Han's arms, and his black waterfall-like hair instantly slid down his shoulders.

The corners of the mouth were slightly upturned to hook out two shallow pear sockets, and asked with a light smile.
