Nongmen pretty wine concubine

Chapter 479
The two old men looked very simple, their thick jackets were mended again and again, their gray hair was tied up casually with a cloth belt, seeing that Gu Qinghan's face was sincere and pale as paper, they didn't feel embarrassed, they stepped forward and opened the door .

"Thank you, old lady."

"Thank you."

As soon as the door opened, Gu Qinghan immediately nodded his thanks to the two of them, put one hand on Su Qing's shoulder and walked inside.Su Qing wanted to struggle, but thought that he couldn't see at all, and such words would arouse the suspicion of the old man, so he followed Gu Qinghan to say thank you, and then let him lead him away.

About half an hour later, the old woman came over with two bowls of freshly steamed sweet potatoes, "Eat it while it's hot, the family can afford this. Please don't be disgusted."

The aunt spoke very slowly, and her movements were also very slow. Although Su Qing couldn't see it, she might have heard the helplessness and vicissitudes in her words.Her brows were slightly furrowed, she couldn't smell the aroma of rice from the tip of her nose, she heard the crackling of the fire just now, but she didn't hear the sound of cooking, could it be the corn bread or rice bran?
"Thank you, ma'am." Gu Qinghan looked at the freshly baked sweet potatoes, narrowed his eyes, and thanked the two of them politely, then took one peeled and put it in Su Qing's hands, not forgetting to remind: " Be careful it's hot."

As soon as the sweet potato was picked up, Su Qing guessed it.Immediately put it to her mouth with a slight smile and blew it, and started to eat it with big mouthfuls. She was really hungry, not to mention sweet potatoes, even the rice bran could probably eat two big ones at this moment.

Seeing her eating deliciously, Gu Qinghan's mood improved a lot, he picked up one and peeled it slowly and started eating.

"Ma'am, I saw that this field is full of crops, and there must be a good harvest before this, how can you rely on this to feed your hunger for the winter?"

Su Qing ate two big sweet potatoes and choked twice, so Gu Qinghan was careful and handed her water a few times before making a joke.Gu Qinghan looked at the dilapidated house that could collapse in a single wind, and asked suspiciously.

Hearing this, the two elders looked at each other sadly, sighed, and the old man said: "Young man, you are foreigners."

Gu Qinghan nodded, waiting for him to continue.

"We planted the crops, but they can't be used by us. They have to be sent to the military camp." The old man said, but the aunt was wiping away tears.

"This is all caused by the war. Our village was abandoned by the Langyue Kingdom back then. Most of the people who live here have broken arms and legs. They survived the war by chance and took root here. If you are lucky, you will find a partner and have a baby, and if you are unlucky, you will be alone."

"Everyone opened up wasteland and planted land, and life gradually improved. There were also girls from outside who were willing to enter the village. How did you know that something happened to Langyue Kingdom half a year ago, and all the young men were taken away. The female relatives with their young children were the only ones who could escape. They escaped, and those who couldn’t escape also disappeared inexplicably, leaving us useless old people, and then they occupied our fields, and when the harvest came, they swarmed like bandits and robbed the harvested food Go, these crops are all planted under their threat, and the village will send people to deliver them every day, we dare not touch a leaf."

After the old man finished speaking, his eyes were red, his body trembled, and finally he supported the wall behind him to stabilize.

"It's unreasonable." Gu Qinghan was furious when he heard that, this is not a soldier who protects the country, but a bandit at all.
