”Then what is Madam Su planning to do today?”
Su Zhi shook her head in confusion, unable to answer for a long time.
Tranquil Village would definitely not return. That was not the best place to stay.
She had originally wanted to find Nie Rufeng and find a suitable place for people to live after the war, so that she could raise her two children. Her plan had been disrupted, and she suddenly lost all of her concentration. She was at a loss for what to do.
”Where should I go …?” ”Where to?”
Su Zhi squatted on the ground and buried her face in her knees. Her delicate body was curled up like a homeless animal.
Since he was 13 or 14 years old, Xiao Qian had started his life in the battlefield. He held a long spear in his hand as he defended his family and protected his country. He was used to being cut by knives and licking blood, so it was rare for his heart to be soft.
He saw that Su Zhi was helpless and pitiful and wanted to protect him.
”Since you are unwilling to return to the village, then find a place to settle down and find a job to earn a living. If a soldier dies in battle, he or she will receive a pension. Although it is not much, it can at least save his or her life. ”
”Thank you for your kindness, General. I appreciate it.”
”It must have been tiring for you to take your child across mountains and rivers. First, you should stay in the camp for a few days.”
Su Zhi gratefully nodded and pulled out a smile.
Xiao Qian was not good with words, so he could not say much to comfort her. After waiting in silence for a while, he left.
Losing a husband and two children by himself, in this ancient world where the hierarchy was strict, how could it be easy to do so? Furthermore, A Jin had already understood the logic behind this. He knew how to live in peace, and how to tell him about the news of Nie Rufeng's death in battle.
Su Zhi suppressed her depression and stayed alone in silence for a long time. She had been out for too long, worried that the child would be scared, but she still organized her thoughts and headed back to the tent.
From afar, he could see A Jin, who was waiting outside the tent with a small bean bag. He was still holding the green bean cake in his hand and dancing up and down, teasing the crying girl.
