"Good job, Wenqu!" Mu Qingxue kicked the Wenqu out of the tent.

"oops!"

An Liang on the side couldn't help laughing.

"I'll see where you are going! Come here by yourself, I won't hit you!" Mu Qingxue chased out of the tent angrily.

"Hey general, this subordinate knows his mistake! Go and rest in the tent, I will distribute food to everyone..."

"Humph!"

"By the way, General, Sister Ruyu said that you don't need to thank me for borrowing food, and I just let you go to Junshan for a few days."

Wen Qu ran while talking, afraid that Mu Qingxue would chase after him.

Seeing that Wen Qu ran away, Mu Qingxue stopped chasing her, and went back to the tent angrily, and saw An Liang sitting on the mat looking at her with a smile.

"What are you looking at!" He said angrily, and threw the medicine bottle in his hand in front of An Liang.

"Wipe it yourself." Saying that, she sat on the side table and sulked.

An Liang complained endlessly, nodded and stopped talking, took the ointment and tried to smear it on his forehead.

"hiss……"

"Ouch……"

But he couldn't see the wound, and he didn't know the severity of the strike, so he couldn't help but whispered a few times.

Just thinking of giving up, not wanting the medicine bottle in his hand to be taken away, when he looked up, he saw Mu Qingxue squatting in front of him helplessly.

He took the ointment and dipped it on his hands familiarly, looked at Anliang's wound, and carefully applied it around the wound.

An Liang was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it too much on the surface, "Cough...um...thank...thank you, General."

Chapter 21 Anliang's life experience

As long as there is food, everything will be easy to handle. Soldiers set up huts to give out porridge, and the victims received food in an orderly manner. Seeing that the victims had food to eat and clothes to wear, everyone gradually relaxed their nerves that had been tense for days.

At this time, the three of them were sitting around the fire and drinking hot porridge.

"Anliang."

"Um?"

"I have something to ask you."

Wen Qu is a typical girl who can't keep her mouth shut even if she has something to eat.

"What's up?"

When she said this, Anliang regretted it, thinking of Wenqu asking herself yesterday if she liked Mu Qingxue, she hurriedly took a peek at Mu Qingxue who was leisurely drinking porridge beside her.

"You said just now that your parents and relatives died in a famine, but I heard that An Luocheng, the general of Yi Kingdom, is your mother..."

Wen Qu was only talking about things, and didn't see the sudden change in An Liang's expression when she said the words An Luocheng.

An Liang firmly squeezed the porridge bowl with two fingers.

"An... An Luocheng is my adoptive mother, my parents and relatives, who indeed died in a famine."

"So it's like this, alas, human life is worthless in front of natural disasters." Wen Qu shook his head and sighed.

"It's not so much a natural disaster..." An Liang said softly, looking up at the disaster victims not far away who gathered together to eat food.

"It's better to say... a man-made disaster..."

"What?" Wen Qu was taken aback.

Mu Qingxue was sipping porridge in suspense, but after hearing this, she also turned her head and looked at An Liang's complicated expression.

"My hometown is Shuobo City, a small border town, less than a third of the size of Yuzhou City."

"The people there are simple, kind, and hospitable. I was just four years old that year, and I often played wildly with my playmates on the street. When I was hungry, I ran to the steamed stuffed bun shop and the owner would smile and bring some stuffed stuffed buns with me. We are hungry."

As An Liang spoke, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, she put down the porridge bowl, picked up a branch and held it in her hand.

"But at that time, the ruler of Yi Kingdom liked to conquer and plunder. He relied on the strength of his country and frequently provoked wars. The first to bear the brunt were our small border towns."

"The nearby city was affected by the flames of war, and the people were displaced, so they fled to the neighboring city. A large number of victims flooded into Shuobo City. Seeing this, the people in the city generously donated their money and distributed the little food at home to the victims."

"But there are too many victims. The people in the city have no food at all. When they found that they couldn't do it, they had to stay behind closed doors."

"Seeing that there was nothing to eat, the victims went to various houses to rob and loot. They didn't listen to persuasion at all. For half a piece of steamed bun, they fought violently, even at the expense of their lives!"

"In the beginning, among the people who starved to death... or were even beaten to death, nine out of ten were the original people in Shuobo City."

"Pa..." An Liang broke the branch in his hand into two and threw it into the fire.

Mu Qingxue and Wen Qu looked at each other, and their expressions became more solemn.

No wonder today Anliang heard that some disaster victims wanted to go to the city to grab food, and they would not let them go to the city even though they provoked public outrage...

"My parents are kind-hearted. They don't want to see others suffer, so they gave away all the surplus food in the family early."

"The state government said that in just three days, the government's disaster relief food and payment will come. A small cake, our family of three lasted for three full days."

"The time limit has passed, but there is no news of the food and payment. My father said, he went to the street to look."

"Then... never came back..."

An Liang paused for a while, and took a deep breath.

"After another day, I told my mother that I was hungry..."

"Mother also went out to find food..."

"Not long after my mother left, it rained heavily, and I was cold and hungry. I huddled in a corner and shivered. I thought she would never come back..."

"In the evening, my mother came back, step by step... crawled back..."

"I will never forget that when she crawled towards me, she was smiling. I will never forget that she tremblingly stretched out her hand in front of me, as if preparing a surprise gift for me every time, slowly Opened up, said to me excitedly, 'Look, what mother found for you'"

"It's a small cake that has been soaked by the rain."

"I don't know where she found this piece of cake, let alone how heavy the meaning of this piece of cake is..."

"Seeing me shivering from the cold, she half-kneeled in front of me, propped up against the wall, and protected me under her body, sheltering me from the wind and rain."

"In a daze, I fell asleep leaning against her body. That embrace is the warmest embrace I have ever leaned on in my life..."

"Woke up the next day, the rain stopped, the sun came out, and the weather was fine."

"But mother... still maintains a half-kneeling posture to protect me..."

……

"Mom, it's sunny, I'm not cold anymore..."

"Mom, I only took a bite of this cake yesterday, and I wanted to save it for you, but I accidentally fell asleep..."

"Mom, I'll give you something to eat, you can eat, I'm not hungry anymore..."

"Mom, eat it, open your mouth!"

"Mom, is the cake hard and you can't bite it? Then I'll feed you..."

"Mom, open your mouth..."

……

Seeing the tears in An Liang's eyes, Mu Qingxue pursed her lips and comforted her.

"Don't... don't think about it anymore, it's all over..."

An Liang nodded, chuckled lightly, "Yes, it's all over."

"Later, An Luocheng led an army passing there, and ordered that the dead be buried and the living exiled into the army. I was transferred to her command, and she never gave up...to be adopted as a righteous daughter."

Wen Qu nodded, and let out a long breath. Listening to An Liang's narration, she also felt like a big stone was pressed in her heart.

"Phew, old Marshal An was as famous as your majesty in the art of war back then. I think you have learned all about her. She must have treated you well, just like your majesty treated my general."
