I am a sister-in-law in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 19 Begging for Food
Qiao Jingjing filled a basin of water and looked at the face in the water carefully.

Scabs formed on the face, and the scabs fell off again, revealing tender red skin.

Xiao Qiao handed Qiao Jingjing the burlap that had been boiled in boiling water and then dried.

"Sister, the city is so chaotic these days. Not to mention the doctor, there is not even a mouse to be seen on the road! The second brother simply can't care about anything. He didn't come back for several days and nights in order to find his second sister-in-law. What do you mean? Can the second sister-in-law be found again?"

He Miaomiao really disappeared.

Compared with her, Qiao Manman seemed to be blessed by God. On the way to Shouchun when Liu Ajiao escorted her, she miraculously reunited with Qiao Jingjing. Then the two sisters miraculously escaped Liu Ajiao's persecution and returned to Lujiang City. My father and brothers were reunited.

But He Miaomiao didn't seem to have such a good life.

After all, Qiao Er and her were husband and wife, although He Miaomiao had not given birth to a child for him in the past two years.

But a friend in adversity sees the truth, Qiao Er really cares about this wife.

Regarding the matter of his son concentrating on looking for his daughter-in-law everywhere, Father Qiao had something to say but couldn't say it. Qiao Jingjing and the others lost their mother on the way to escape.

Ever since they were lost, their mother-in-law seemed to have disappeared from the world, without any news.

No matter how Father Qiao searched, he searched on the way to escape, and after he settled down in Lujiang City, he continued to search. He asked people in the north to look for him, and he asked people he knew in the south to look for him, but he couldn't find him.In the end, as a last resort, I could only declare to the outside world that this lady had died.

I hope that the second daughter-in-law is blessed by God and can be found by Qiao Er.

After a great battle in Lujiang City, Lu Kang's family disappeared from Lujiang City, suffering heavy casualties and bad vigor.

But the Qiao family was not much better.

Da Qiao was injured at home, and Qiao Manman stayed with her sister all day.Father Qiao also has to take care of the old servant who has broken his leg.Not to mention Qiao Er and Qiao San, they were busy looking for the lost He Miaomiao, and no one was interested in farming or housework.

Originally, after a catastrophe, even the family members disappeared, not to mention that the food, chickens, ducks and livestock hoarded at home had long been looted.

In fact, the family has been out of food for a long time.

The family knew that Qiao Jingjing was very good at farming, and Dad and Xiao Qiao didn't dare to say that they went to the neighbor's house to beg for the food they ate these days.

But Qiao Manman herself felt embarrassed after having been begging for food for several days.

Not to mention Papa Joe's face.

Seeing that it was another day full of hunger, Qiao Er and Qiao San didn't even have a shadow. As the only one in the family, Qiao Manman was able to walk around without fear of embarrassment. She only thought of one place in her heart.

The former Lu prefect's mansion is now the camp where General Sun is stationed.

Qiao Manman is not very clear about General Sun, but General Sun is now the leader of the city, he can't see the people in the city starve to death!
Qiao Manman made a pretense with Qiao Jingjing. She said she was going to the mulberry garden to have a look, and on the way to deliver a pot of hot water to her father who was fishing in the pond.

Pop had been reduced to supplementing the family's food by fishing.

Before going out, Qiao Manman also asked Qiao Jingjing not to go out to enjoy the air.

"Sister, you must be careful. I'm not scaring you. It's really bad if you leave scars on your face. It's a cold day, so be careful."

Qiao Jingjing is really obedient.

It seems that whether it is a contemporary beauty or a time-traveling beauty, they still care about their faces very much.

Qiao Manman walked from Taohua Lane in the south of the city to the city, where General Sun is now stationed.

It took at least half an hour to walk all the way.

Qiao Manman walked slowly, she thought a lot on the way.

If she could meet the general Sun Ce who defeated Lu Kang, the big boss who held her sister hostage, even though she was a weak woman, she would not be afraid to face him face to face.

She also had the courage to ask General Sun for some food.

If she couldn't see General Sun's face, but saw other people, even the other few she met that night, at least she could talk.

Qiao Manman was also a person who escaped from the north. When she was a child, she was born into a well-established family in Luoyang City, so she still knew about this human connection.

However, Qiao Manman was short of money and couldn't give the sergeant who guarded the gate any souvenirs.

Just a sweet smile.

"Hello, Master Jun. I am the daughter of the Qiao family from Taohua Lane in the south of the city. I am here to pay homage to General Sun and General Zhou. I would also like to ask you to pass the news on my behalf."

The gatekeepers are all human beings.

In the past two days, General Sun and General Zhou broke through the city and became the masters of the city. This is definitely the first beauty like this who dared to send to the door.

For other families, they were delivered in carriages by family members.

However, this General Sun is a bit special. He is clean and quick when he is swearing against him, and he kills with a single knife; those who ask for reconciliation and send girls over, but he doesn't want other girls.

They also asked people to send the girl back.

The two military masters looked at Qiao Manman, who looked like a little beauty.

After looking at it again and again, I really didn't want to make this trip for her, but I wanted to see this girl a few more times.

So he seemed to be smiling, but he just stood there and said in a cold voice:
"Want to see General Sun and General Zhou? Miss, please wait here!"

then.

Then, there was no text for a long time.

He was an old sergeant who was cleaning the door. He saw Qiao Manman standing there in the cold snow wind, shivering with cold, stamping her feet and blowing her hands. Her eyelashes were covered with snowflakes. She was so pitiful that she moved with pity. heart of.

"Girl, come with me, I will tell you about General Sun.

"However, it doesn't matter whether General Sun will see you or not.

Or maybe the girl is in a hurry, but don't get too hopeful, after all, General Sun has just arrived and there are many things to do. "

The old sergeant walked and led him all the way.

Qiao Manman only said yes.

Although she and her sister had been to this mansion that day, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

The old sergeant asked Qiao Manman to stand there, and he stepped forward to talk to a young boy.

The boy raised his head, looked at Qiao Manman carefully, and then smiled honestly: "Mr. Zhou, leave this matter to me. This girl is also pitiful."

Mr. Zhou then came over and told Qiao Manman, "Miss, please wait here."

He left.

That kid went into the study of the former prefect Lu, but he did not come out for a while.

Qiao Manman was so cold that she stomped her feet. This time, even her ears were cold. Another gust of wind blew, and she felt like she was going to faint from hunger.

Fortunately, the boy came out.

He also said to her: "Girl, please come inside."

Qiao Manman's face was almost pale, but she still lifted her spirits and mustered up her courage, and walked into the study of the prefect of Qianlu, which she had never set foot in before.

She went in to ask General Sun for ten days and a half of rations to help her family survive the difficulties of the past few days.

As for where did Qiao Manman get her confidence?
She really didn't.

The reason why she took this step was because she had no choice.

Qiao Manman walked in and saw a room full of people.Sun Ce and Zhou Yu sat in the middle, and the other Sun brothers, as well as Zhang Chao and others, stood and sat, discussing this together, and when Qiao Manman came in, everyone stopped.

The kid said, "General, Miss Qiao is here."

Sun Ce raised his head.

In his eyes, this little girl Qiao was indeed much more immature than the older girl, with a shy face and much softer eyes.

"Girl, what's the matter here?"

Qiao Manman originally had a good idea, but it was really hard to say it in front of so many people.

And her stomach was growling unsatisfactorily at this moment.

Qiao Manman smelled the aroma of snacks coming from a corner of the study and swallowed a lot of saliva.

She bit her lip, struggling and struggling internally.

She knew that these men were all looking at her, especially General Zhou.

"Hello, generals! I am the youngest daughter of the Qiao Xuan family who lives in Taohua Lane in the south of the city. Due to the war in the past few days, thieves entered my house and looted all my property. To be honest, generals, our family has been without food for a few days... …
