Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

Wang Hu led the Qi army to retreat to Bashang, east of Chang'an. After hearing the secret report, the Shuo army in Chang'an was in chaos, and the two armies of Cui and Mu had a grudge against each other. The main forces went to meet the Shuo emperor who returned to the capital, so they decided to return to attack the city.

The Shuo army was caught off guard and defeated. The two armies of Cui and Mu had to withdraw from Chang'an and take refuge in Xingping. Because they were defeated, Wang Pu, the governor of Tongzhou, Qiao Qian, the governor of Huazhou, and Song Yan, the governor of Shangzhou, switched to the Qi army.

The Shuo emperor was full of expectations. When he returned to the capital Chang'an, he would reorganize the country and recover the lost territory. He was heading to Chang'an with a group of concubines and ministers. Unexpectedly, he heard the news that the capital Chang'an was recaptured by the Qi army on the way.

The Shuo emperor was furious. He dispatched troops and ordered all the armies to attack Chang'an.

The Qi army was short of food, so they sent troops to Hezhong Prefecture to collect food and money.

Wang Chongrong, the governor of Hezhong Prefecture, was defeated and took the initiative to offer more than 40 ships of food and money. The Qi army then defeated Gao Xun, the governor of Zhaoyi, and took advantage of the victory to recover Fuping, Bining, and Xiasui. The north and the hinterland of the Central Plains fell into chaos again.

On the other side, Su Qingmei had been hiding in the mountains with her family for nearly half a month.

There are many mountains in Yuanzhou. That day, Su Qingmei listened to the words of the waiter and went back to the room to discuss with Su's father and others. Everyone decided to hide in the mountains for a while. So the next day, as soon as she left the inn, Su Qingmei took her family to hide in the mountains.

The mountains are high and the forests are dense. It is said that there are no large beasts. Otherwise, Su Qingmei would never feel at ease to take her family into the mountains. Several children couldn't move their feet in the forest, but they were just filling the stomachs of the beasts.

Only after entering the mountains did she realize that there were many ordinary people like her. Everyone brought their families, pots and pans, beds and beddings, and packed them neatly, and pulled, dragged, carried and carried them up the mountain.

Su Qing'an unloaded the carriages and dismantled the cart boards, and she also carried and lifted them on her back. After dozens of trips, she finally disassembled and lifted the three ox carts up the mountain.

Everyone dug a hole together, filled it with wooden stakes, set up a tent, and then put up the cart boards, which became a simple residence for more than a dozen people.

Fortunately, when Su Qing'an came out, she had packed everything up, including pots, pans, and bowls. Considering that there were old and young people, she prepared a lot of food and other things. She made dried vegetables herself and brought a lot. Throw them into the pot, and there is no shortage of vegetables. There are also mushrooms and wild vegetables in the mountains, so there is no shortage of vegetables.

But maybe the nutrition is still not up to par, and she gradually has no milk to feed Xiaobao.

Xiaobao cried twice, and then slowly accepted this reality.

The child was curious and excited. In the forest, there were uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters to play with him every day, so he forgot to cry. With the help of his uncle, aunt, brother and sister, he gradually learned to walk, and could stagger a few steps by himself.

The adults were very surprised and coaxed him to walk every day.

The more he was coaxed and praised, the more excited he became. Every day, he grinned and insisted on walking on the ground. His brothers and sisters helped him, but he was still unwilling. He clapped his hands and cried, insisting on walking by himself. He didn't cry even after falling. He clapped his hands, stuck out his butt and supported himself with his hands, and got up and walked again.

Su's father and others said he was a smart man.

Su's mother, Su Dagu and others taught him to speak every day. But I don't know if this child is lazy or stupid. Now he can't even call his mother, and Su Qing'an rolled her eyes.

The days in the mountains were idle and boring, and everyone gradually learned to find things to do. Several women went together to find wild vegetables and mushrooms, while the men went hunting with homemade weapons, saying that the children were greedy for meat, and they got something two out of three times.

If they met someone from another family on the way, they would just nod and walk away.

There were people not far apart in the mountains. The basin in the mountains was not big, so everyone occupied it, but they were not close to each other.

Everyone kept their distance, but did not want to be too far away. They guarded and depended on each other from far and near. They knew that everyone had the same fate, but they were wary of each other.

After half a month in the mountains, the food they brought was gradually eaten up.

Su Dahu and Su's father said they wanted to go to the nearby town to buy some food. It was too troublesome to disassemble and assemble the ox cart, and the cart boards were all made into bed boards. My uncle and Da Jiang and his son said they wanted to go together. Four men could at least carry back enough food for the family for ten days and a half months.

Su Qing'an and others told them to be careful and watched them go down the mountain.

It was not until the afternoon that Su's father and others came back, so Su Qing'an planned to go down the mountain to see the situation.

Unexpectedly, when she got halfway down the mountain, she saw a team of soldiers rushing up the mountain and pointed their spears at her.

Su Qing'an originally wanted to negotiate and buy some time for Su's mother and others to hide. Unexpectedly, when she turned her head, she saw that another team of soldiers had already escorted Su's mother and many people from the mountain basin down the mountain.

Su Qing'an saw Lu Xiaobao crying loudly, and went forward to pick him up and hug him.

When he stopped crying, she was relieved to see that the family was still safe and staying together. After going down the mountain, she saw Su's father and other four people in the crowd. Su's mother, Hongxiu and others all cried and rushed to them. Seeing that they were all safe, they cried and laughed and felt relieved.

Su's father said that he was arrested as soon as he entered the town, and he was said to be sent to Yuanzhou Prefecture to replenish the troops.

"Then just arrest the men, why arrest our women and children?" Su Dagu held her uncle and Zhou Dajiang tightly.

Su's father shook his head, how could they know why.

Su Qing'an looked at a leader-like man in front of him, thought about it, handed Xiaobao to Su Qingliu, and walked towards him.

"Qing'an..." Su's mother wanted to hold her back anxiously. Seeing that some officers and soldiers were looking at them, Su's father hurriedly held Su's mother back, and the two looked at Su Qing'an anxiously.

"Sir, can you please have a word with me?" Su Qing'an walked up to the officer leading the team and whispered.

The man turned his head and glanced at her. Not knowing what he was thinking, he led Su Qingyu to a place away from others.

Su Qingyu saw that his face was quite honest and did not look like a treacherous person, so she said: "Sir, we were brought down from the mountain. In such a hurry, we didn't even have time to pack up our things. You see, my son has just grown up. He is one year old, and there are some things prepared for him on the mountain. Do you think we are allowed to go up to the mountain to clean them up? "

Seeing that the man frowned, he hurriedly added: "Our family still has three cows and three carts on the mountain. I think you also have some food and luggage to transport. If you don't mind, you can use my ox cart to pull it." Let's go, and it will save the strength of the soldiers. We still have to hurry, and we can't make the soldiers work too hard. "

The man raised his eyebrows after hearing this.

Seeing that the man was loose, Su Qingyu quickly said: "My child's father has never seen his father since he was drafted and left home two years ago. I don't know what his father looks like or whether he is alive or dead." . Many uncles and brothers in my husband’s family died on the battlefield. If the only root of their family also died on the road, how could I be worthy of my husband’s family..."

Seeing Su Qingyu looking on the verge of tears, the man thought for a moment and said, "Where is your family? I'll go with you."

"Thank you, sir."

Su Qingyu hurriedly returned to the team, grabbed Su's father and others, turned around and went up the mountain. The master personally led a few men to follow them.
