The ex-husband doted on his concubine and killed his wife!The princess turned around and remarried t

The snow was too heavy and too deep, and they were afraid that they would not be able to set off for the time being.

I can only live in this small mountain village temporarily.

This small mountain village is not big, with only six households in total.

The village chief and the strong men in the village did not allow them to enter the village at first. After seeing the men, horses and weapons of Qin Shuhuang and his party, he felt that it would be difficult to win with a small enemy and a large number, so he had to agree to their stay.

Before they stayed, the village chief made an agreement with Liu Renren that the villagers would only provide accommodation for them, but not food or money!

Soon, Qin Shuhuang and the others understood why the village chief said this after they settled in the small mountain village.

Because this place is already barren and far away from surrounding counties and towns, there is no place to obtain supplies.

The nearest county seat to the small mountain village is sixty miles away, and it would take a day and a night to travel back and forth without rest.

Now that the roads are blocked due to heavy snow, it is impossible to go to the county seat, let alone buy supplies.

Even if you have money, you can’t use it!

There are few people in the village, and the food stored by each household is also very limited. If Qin Shuhuang's team is included in the meal, these people's food will be eaten up in a few days...

Naturally, we cannot provide them with meals.

Liu Renren allocated a place to stay. Although the villagers vacated their empty houses, they all watched them warily, fearing that they would steal food. Every household took the food into their own house and wanted to eat them. I'm afraid they won't be able to get enough food without killing them.

Qin Shuhuang and his party couldn't do such a thing.

Although they are running out of supplies, they are not yet ready to rob the people.

In the evening, the guards asked the owner of the house to borrow the kitchen. Xie Xuanye sent someone to pick up some firewood nearby, and used the rice and noodles they brought to make porridge and steamed buns. After distributing them, dinner was over.

Each person was given a steamed bun and a bowl of multi-grain porridge that was not too thick.

Xie Xuanye handed a boiled egg to Qin Shuhuang. Qin Shuhuang took it and put it into Liu Renren's bowl aside.

Liu Renren was the oldest, and his health was not as good as that of the younger ones. After half a month, the old man became dry and thin, and his hands, feet and ears suffered from frostbite. Fortunately, Qin Shuhuang was very skilled in medicine and nursed Liu Renren back to health from time to time. Otherwise, in such a situation, In the extremely cold weather, Liu Renren might not even be able to reach Xiagong City.

Seeing Qin Shuhuang give the only remaining egg to Liu Renren, Xie Xuanye narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Liu Renren wanted to return the egg to Qin Shuhuang, but Qin Shuhuang stopped him, "Uncle Liu, eat it. You are suffering from physical pain and need to eat more. It's just one egg. When we get to Xiagong City, I can eat as much as I want."

Hearing what Qin Shuhuang said, Liu Renren felt hot in his heart and did not refuse.

Qin Shuhuang broke off half of his steamed bun and gave it to Xie Xuanye, "I eat less and waste more. Xuan Cang, eat this half of the steamed bun!"

Xie Xuanye took the steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth without saying anything, but his eyes looking at Qin Shuhuang became deeper and deeper.

Shilan also quietly gave He Yutian half a steamed bun. He Yutian didn't want it, but Shilan glared at him and stuffed it into his mouth fiercely.

Luda gnawed on his steamed bun and sighed, then whispered to He Yutian in a sour voice: "Brother He, how does it feel to be hurt by a woman?"

He Yutian chewed half of the steamed bun in his mouth hard and muttered: "When we get to Xia Gongcheng, I will buy Shilan all the things she likes to eat!"

Ruda patted He Yutian's shoulder encouragingly.

On such a cold day, even a woman is only half full after a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun, but in order to save food, she cannot eat more.

Long Jia came over to report the supply situation.

"Your Highness, Mr. Liu, we can only eat the remaining food for two days at most..."

This is calculated based on each person’s daily minimum consumption...

If you eat it with an open belly, the food will not be enough for one meal...

When she was in southern Xinjiang before, Qin Shuhuang asked Ye Xuan to transport food to help the various ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang. She did not expect that she would also be short of food in the northern border.

It's true that things are turning, and this year it's her turn.

Upon hearing the news, Qin Shuhuang and Liu Renren fell silent.

After a while, Qin Shuhuang said: "Okay, no matter what, we have a place to stay tonight, so we can sleep peacefully. Let's rest tonight. As for anything else, we will discuss it tomorrow."

After driving for a long time in the wind and snow, everyone needs a rest.After Qin Shuhuang said this, he dispersed. Xie Xuanye assigned the night watchmen and the rest all went back to their rooms to sleep.

There are limited rooms and limited firewood for heating. Even Qin Shuhuang doesn't have a room by himself.

All the women in the team were in Qin Shuhuang's room. They all made bunks and slept together. Shilan used a piece of twine to draw a curtain for Qin Shuhuang to separate him from the others. Shilan slept outside the curtain, guarding Qin Shuhuang.

The same goes for men.

Qin Shuhuang opened the palm of his hand, and there was an oval hot egg lying inside.

Xie Xuanye secretly gave it to her just before entering the house.

After giving it to her, he gave Qin Shuhuang a warning look, obviously telling her to eat it herself and not to give it to anyone else.

It seems that her brother Can Wang left two eggs for her. Knowing that she would not eat alone in front of everyone, he deliberately gave her only one and left one for her in private.

Qin Shuhuang held the egg in her hands, absorbing the temperature from the egg. When the egg became only slightly warm, she peeled off the shell and finished the egg left for her by Xie Xuanye in small bites.

After eating, Qin Shuhuang lay on the bunk, staring at the old roof and thinking about how to get food under such circumstances.

Robbing the people in the village?

Not to mention that she can't do such a thing, even if she robs the people's food, it won't last for a few days. The people here are poor, and the food they store themselves may not be able to survive this winter.

What can we do without grabbing food?
Qin Shuhuang felt like his eyelids were fighting as he thought about it. After walking in the wind and snow for more than a day, he was already exhausted. Shilan, who was sleeping next to him, had already fallen asleep and his breathing had become longer.

Some women in the room even snored.

In this environment, Qin Shuhuang soon couldn't bear the fatigue and fell asleep.

While sleeping until midnight, there were sudden bursts of dog barking, one after another, that didn't stop for a long time.

It even woke up Qin Shuhuang from his deep sleep.

Qin Shuhuang woke up and asked Shilan, who had already sat up, "Shilan, let someone go out and ask what's going on?"

Shilan opened the curtain and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. I have already asked someone to ask. I think there will be news soon."

With that said, the maid responsible for keeping watch has returned.

"Back to Your Highness, Captain He took the village chief to see it in person. Nothing happened. It was a dog raised in the village. An avalanche in the back mountain near the village caused the dog to bark." The maid who went to inquire said.

After the maid finished speaking, Shilan waved her hand to leave.

Because of his past life experience, Qin Shuhuang has a shadow on dogs.

Hearing what was going on, even though these dogs posed no danger to her, still frightened her completely and woke her up.

She breathed a sigh of relief to calm down her nervous mood.

Then he shrank into the corner and curled up with his arms wrapped around his knees.

The memory of being locked up in her previous life and finally being bitten by a dog kept creeping into her mind.

Bai Lingge stared at her with evil eyes, and his laughter seemed to still echo in her ears.

she says:

"Your Highness, Princess, you have never seen so many dogs!"

"Look, they are all staring at you!"

"I starved them for three days. If I let them out later, would they eat you?"

"These two dogs look a bit like wolves. They were specially brought by the Hong Dynasty. They are said to be breeds from the north. They have been fed raw meat since they were young. They are actually more cruel than wolves."

"Well, look, they have been released and are coming over! Yeah! The two dogs running at the front are the dogs brought by Hongchao. They are so majestic and look like they are of Alaskan descent! Alaska used to be in our place, but it was a specialized The sled pullers are better than the oxen and horses in the Arctic!”
