Rebirth of the second ex-husband

Chapter 282 A Depression

Chapter 282

Everyone was shocked when they saw the scene here, because the imperial court had allocated a large amount of food, herbs and other supplies for relief, and they never imagined that what they saw would be such a scene.

Xiao Muling looked at her heartily, she thought about what Princess Linghua said before, the children here have nothing to lack, but now seeing such a scene, she was full of doubts in her heart.

"Mother!" Xiao Muling looked up at Princess Linghua, and was surprised and heartbroken when she saw her godmother, Princess Linghua.

Everyone walked around the street, only to see that the doors of every house were closed, as if there was no one there.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, probably entering the dead city.

Princess Linghua looked at the family in front of her, a very ordinary house made of earth and wood.

Turning around, she knocked on the door with her hand, and the sound of knocking was "bang bang bang". In this quiet place, she couldn't help but make one's hair stand on end.

"Is anyone there? Is anyone there?" Princess Ling Hua shouted, as if her determination to knock on the door became more determined.

After a while, everyone was desperate, their hearts turned cold, and they looked at each other, feeling like a dead city.

Li Mohua suddenly made a silent movement, pointed inside and whispered: "Shh, there seems to be someone."

Everyone listened attentively, and only heard the voice of an old lady: "Who is it?...Who is it?"

Princess Linghua was pleasantly surprised, if the entire Yitian City was a dead city, she would absolutely not accept it.

The door opened with a squeak, and an old lady with a sickly face appeared in front of her. The old lady was about 60 years old, her hair was gray and messy, her face was thin and seemed to be full of bones, and her face was dark. The deep lines of distress, and above all, the chapped lips.

Princess Linghua was shocked when she saw it, but she calmed down and explained: "Grandma, we are businessmen passing by, and we want to stay overnight, is it convenient?"

The old lady saw that Princess Linghua, who was asking questions, looked like a fairy, had an orchid-like temperament, and had a happy smile. She was accompanied by a cute child like jade. She didn't look like a bad person. Just come in. But, why do you think of coming to this place for business, I advise you to go back earlier."

"Grandma, why is this?" Princess Linghua pretended to be puzzled, "Yitian City has always been an ideal place for business."

The old lady didn't seem to hear what Princess Linghua said, and after a while she said to herself: "Drought, I can't survive, where is the business?"

After entering the yard, the old lady briefly introduced: "There are not many rooms in the house. The couple have one room, and the rest of them probably need one room. There are three rooms left. You can allocate them yourself."

Qin Wang heard the old lady say that Princess Linghua and Xiao Nianyou were allowed to live in the same room, he was very anxious, and wanted to say that they were not husband and wife, but Princess Linghua had clearly said before that she wanted to pretend to be husband and wife. The meaning of Princess Linghua.

Qin Wang just looked at Princess Ling Hua with his eyes, but Qin Wang was in a hurry and didn't pay attention to concealing it, so Xiao Nianyou could clearly see his eagerness.

Princess Linghua calmly said: "The child is afraid of the dark at night, but I should sleep with the child. Don't bother Grandma, we will arrange it ourselves."

The old lady nodded. She was originally a warm-hearted person, but her family was so poor that she didn't have much to entertain her.

She said apologetically: "The family is poor, there is nothing to entertain, not even tea, so I can only provide a shelter from the wind and rain."

With a grateful smile, Princess Linghua said warmly, "Grandma, we are satisfied with finding a place to shelter from the wind and rain. But, grandma, if we live here for a while, of course we won't live in vain. How can we pay the rent? "

The old lady's brows did not rise or fall, and she said flatly: "Whatever, you can just give it to you. If you don't have it, you can don't give it. I am a person who is going to be buried. It is useless to ask for money. Besides, in this place, if you have money, you can buy it." It's of no use."

When Princess Linghua heard this, she felt sad, this old lady is quite kind.

She didn't want the old lady to suffer, so she hurriedly said: "Well, let's do this, we brought a lot of food when we arrived, if grandma doesn't want money, you can eat with us, it should be our rent."

The old lady didn't hide it either, her eyes sparkled, and she smiled pretentiously and said: "This is good, the old body is missing this!"

"Then, grandma, where is the kitchen?" Princess Linghua looked around and asked.

The old lady pointed to a room to the east and said, "That's the kitchen, and the old man's house is just opposite."

Princess Linghua invited the old lady and said: "Grandma, I think you haven't drunk water for a long time, why don't you come to my room and have a cup of tea, I'm not familiar with this place, so I have a lot of questions and I want to ask Grandma."

The attraction of water to the old lady is obviously not small, the old lady nodded.

Princess Ling Hua turned to Liang Chu and said, "Go and boil some water."

She looked up at Fu Qingyan again: "Brother Fu, please help Liang Chu cut some firewood."

Fu Qingyan heard that he was helping Liangchu again, and immediately smiled happily: "Okay, madam." He was happy to serve Princess Linghua.

Princess Linghua invited the old lady to her room, brought Xiao Muling and Jin Mo, and did not speak to the old lady. She thought that the old lady hadn't had water for a few days, and her throat was thirsty. Let's talk about water.

The old lady also sat indifferently, without saying a word for a long time, and everyone didn't feel embarrassed, she was really a person who could sit still.On the other hand, Xiao Muling wanted to speak a few times, but when she saw that no one had any intention of speaking, she also sensiblely remained silent.

After a while, Liangchu came in with a pot of boiling water.

Pour it into the cup where Jinmo had already placed the tea leaves. When the hot water poured down, the tea leaves in the cup rolled and turned green. It was very cute. The old lady's eyes turned green, and she couldn't wait to pick it up and drink it.

Princess Linghua reminded with concern: "Grandma drink carefully, it will burn your mouth, and, if you drink too fast, I'm afraid your internal organs won't be able to get used to it."

The old lady understood what Princess Linghua said, held her temper, and drank slowly.

After drinking three glasses of water, the old lady regained her strength.The old lady asked Princess Linghua, "What's your name, madam?"

"The little lady's husband's family name is Xiao. This is the daughter of the slave family. Her nickname is 'Ling'er'. I don't know why grandma lives alone?"

"Oh, they are all dead... After the drought here, I heard that only the Xiaozi Spring outside the city had water. Unfortunately, the son went to fetch water, but he never came back. The daughter-in-law went to look for it later, but there was no whereabouts. Damn me, an old lady with bad legs, I was trapped here, thinking that I was going to die, but in the end I was given imperial rations, relying on these few catties of imperial rations and a little water, I have lived till now."

Princess Linghua vaguely felt that this spring had some stories to tell, so she asked, "Grandma, why is there drought everywhere, but there is water in this spring?"
