Chapter 16
This Four Seas Bank is the bank under the command of City Lord He, with branches all over the world, and scattered generals will never dare to offend them wherever they go.Therefore, these people who hold the bank notes of the world are not worried. As long as there is no war, no matter where they go, there is great hope for a comeback.

Qin Zheng had nothing to eat, so she tried to find something in the field. Unexpectedly, the deserters who came with her had already set their eyes on the land that had not experienced the famine, and searched the field cleanly. Not one left.

At this time, many people have chosen to beg, after all, there are so many well-fed families in the city.

Seeing this situation, Qin Zheng immediately decided to start begging, the sooner the better.She and Fang Lu split up, one to attack the south city and the other to attack the north city.Dressed in tattered clothes, she knocked on the door of each house, enduring the other party's curious or contemptuous eyes, and begging for alms from the other party.

At the end of the day, she had harvested a bowl of wheat medulla rice and two ragged padded jackets—what a feast!

She returned to the abandoned house where she was temporarily staying, went in, and first lit a fire to cook soup and warm her hands at the same time.Just as he was warming his hands, Fang Lu came back.

Fang Lu still looked thin, but his gaze was no longer as indifferent as it was at the beginning.Seeing that he came back empty-handed, Qin Zheng knew that he must have gained nothing.

She poured the soup with some vegetable roots she picked up into two broken bowls, and divided the wheat marrow rice from begging into two halves, one half for her and Fang Lu.

Fang Lu glanced at her, and said three words in a low voice: "I'm not hungry."

Qin Zheng pointed to the soup next to him: "Then you should drink the soup first."

Fang Lu shook his head: "I'm not thirsty."

Qin Zheng didn't say anything anymore, and drank the soup on his own. It was delicious and sweet. After drinking half of the soup, her stomach felt warm, so she soaked the half bowl of vegetarian rice in it, and ate it cherishingly. After eating, he licked the rice grains on his fingers.

After eating, she packed the casserole again, put it in a sack and put it beside her, then threw a ragged cotton jacket to Fang Lu: "This is for you, it's getting cold." After saying this, she used her Wrapped in a torn cotton jacket, he fell asleep.After a while, I fell into a sweet dreamland.

But Fang Lu couldn't fall asleep, he sat there in a daze, facing the burning bonfire, bowed his head and remained silent.Against the light of the fire, his face was as sharp as a knife, and he looked like a piece of raw iron, hard and fragile.

I don't know how long it took, but his eyes slowly moved to the side, and Qin Zheng who was beside him was still sleeping soundly, and even clicked his mouth in his dream.

He glanced at the things around him, a bowl of vegetable root soup that was no longer steaming, and half a bowl of rough wheat marrow rice.

He moved his dry lips, stretched out his hand, took it, and slowly began to eat.

He was actually very hungry, but he didn't gobble it up, but ate slowly, savoring every bite carefully, as if he was tasting the most delicious tea after a meal.
