Gu Linbei was stunned and speechless.
He dreamed that he died on the way to escape famine.
He dreamed of his wife being exchanged for food.
I dreamed that my sixth brother’s wife was being toyed with.
I dreamed of Gu Linxuan, who was completely desperate and struggling on the brink of death.
I also dreamed of Qingqing struggling to be put into boiling water. Her face was full of tears as she looked at Wanmei beside her, her eyes full of pleading.
In the past, Gu Linbei couldn't bear to say goodbye to the Gu family.
Now all he wants is to take his wife and children and move forward without looking back.
"I dreamt about that, too."
Gu Linxuan came up carefully without knowing when.
“Ah…ah…”
"I..." Qingqing babbled, and finally uttered two words.
Lu Yan and Yu Nian looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that their fate could be changed so easily.
…
The capital at that time was a completely different scene from the outside of the city.
The streets were bustling with people, with the cries of vendors and the sounds of people playing and laughing.
The people of Xiaohe Village followed the Fourth Prince's men through the busy market, finally stopping outside a small stall where people fleeing famine were being allocated housing.
Because of the Fourth Prince, Xiaohe Village was assigned to a place not far from the outskirts of Beijing.
Village chief Zhou led the people of Xiaohe Village to the outskirts of Beijing.
Gu Linbei said goodbye to his wife briefly and left.
When waving goodbye, there was reluctance in both of their eyes, but they firmly believed that they would meet again.
A year later, a galloping horse passed through the downtown area, raising dust on both sides of the street.
Outside the clinic on the street, many people lined up in a long queue, waiting for someone inside to call their number.
Next to the clinic, a drugstore and cosmetics shop is also very busy.
"Boss Lu."
Village chief Zhou hurried in from outside with a smile on his face.
Behind him followed a group of villagers carrying herbs.
"Village Chief Zhou is here." Lu Yan greeted him with a smile: "Did you dig so much this time?"
Lu Yan looked surprised.
Since fleeing famine two years ago, Xiaohe Village has been reclaiming wasteland with its headman, Zhou. Initially, conditions were poor, but thanks to the warm weather, the villagers rebuilt their new homes.
Lu Yan and Yu Nian bought a big house in the capital.
Later, the two sisters agreed to buy two more shops on the street.
One was a clinic where Yu Nian treated patients, while the other was a drugstore and cosmetics shop.
The villagers of Xiaohe Village were responsible for growing medicinal herbs and providing them to Lu Yan and Yu Nian. Everyone's life was getting better and better.
"Yes, we have to thank Boss Lu for his willingness to support us."
Village chief Zhou had a smile on his face when he spoke.
But after scanning the shop, he finally asked quietly, "Is Lao Wu not back yet?"
For two years, the war with Qi and Yue has not stopped.
Therefore, Gu Linbei has not returned.
Lu Yan shook her head lightly, her face full of helplessness.
"It's okay. The fifth child is destined to die young." Village Chief Zhou smiled and mentioned another matter: "I heard that the sixth child will take part in the palace examination tomorrow. He will definitely pass this time."
When mentioning this, Lu Yan also smiled.
"Yes, the Sixth Prince has received a lot of support from the Fourth Prince over the years, so he should have a chance to make the list this time." Lu Yan didn't dare to say too much, but she and Yu Nian both had great confidence in Gu Linxuan.
"Aunt Wu, this..."
Just then, Qingqing ran out with a piece of cake.
The little girl had noticeably gained some weight on her face over the past two years, and her features had grown more mature. She looked at Lu Yan with a smile in her eyes: "Try it, it's delicious."
Even though Qingqing was a mute in the past, she can speak very fluently now.
