The word 'cold' was like a sharp knife slicing through Su Zhi's heart. A bolt of thunder from a clear sky had shattered her last hope!
Was he dead? She was momentarily unable to accept that this was the end of her thousand miles of search for a husband.
She wasn't the same Su Zhi from before. Naturally, she would not be heartbroken from heartache, but she was still sad.
The success of a general will be ten thousand bones dry, more or less white send black hair. However, the king was in trouble, and his bones were buried beneath the mountain.
"How could this be .."
How could she tell A Jin that their father would never be able to take them hunting, never hold them back with his broad shoulders, never, never again.
"My lady, please grieve."
Su Zhi's legs went soft. She could not help but crouch down and land on the sand.
Xiao Qian Xu helped her up, but at the same time, he didn't really dare to touch her.
Being widowed at such a young age with two children, even without personally experiencing it, he could still feel it.
"I am sorry, but although our army has achieved complete victory and repelled the Huns, it is not without casualties."
Her husband was in those lost souls.
She had thought of many different situations where she wanted to meet Nie Rufeng. She had always heard Akin to that person, and from the bottom of her heart, she had always thought that he was a very good husband. It was just that she never expected that she would see him before she had the time to do so.
"Madam, you are still young, so do not be too sad and lose your body. The child had already lost his father, and his mother was still young and had a long life to live. This was the best explanation for his younger brother. Madam lives in Qing He County, I will send someone to send you back okay? "
"No, no, no, no. I'm not going back. Without my husband, there will no longer be a home there. What's the point of me going back? I will only see the people I think of, and add to my sadness."
A rejection that was almost repugnant.
At most, it was a pity that such a beautiful and gentle woman like her, who was born in troubled times, would have many inconvenience and hardships. However, he still cared about those two children of Nie Rufeng's, especially that little girl, who he liked the most and had never seen a child that wasn't afraid of him.
"Then what is Madam Su planning to do today?"
Su Zhi shook her head in confusion, unable to answer for a long time.
Tranquil Village would definitely not return. That was not the best place to stay.
She had originally wanted to find Nie Rufeng and find a suitable place for people to live after the war, so that she could raise her two children. Her plan had been disrupted, and she suddenly lost all of her concentration. She was at a loss for what to do.
"Where should I go ..?" "Where to?"
Su Zhi squatted on the ground and buried her face in her knees. Her delicate body was curled up like a homeless animal.
Since he was 13 or 14 years old, Xiao Qian had started his life in the battlefield. He held a long spear in his hand as he defended his family and protected his country. He was used to being cut by knives and licking blood, so it was rare for his heart to be soft.
He saw that Su Zhi was helpless and pitiful and wanted to protect him.
"Since you are unwilling to return to the village, then find a place to settle down and find a job to earn a living. If a soldier dies in battle, he or she will receive a pension. Although it is not much, it can at least save his or her life. "
"Thank you for your kindness, General. I appreciate it."
"It must have been tiring for you to take your child across mountains and rivers. First, you should stay in the camp for a few days."
Su Zhi gratefully nodded and pulled out a smile.
Xiao Qian was not good with words, so he could not say much to comfort her. After waiting in silence for a while, he left.
Losing a husband and two children by himself, in this ancient world where the hierarchy was strict, how could it be easy to do so? Furthermore, A Jin had already understood the logic behind this. He knew how to live in peace, and how to tell him about the news of Nie Rufeng's death in battle.
Su Zhi suppressed her depression and stayed alone in silence for a long time. She had been out for too long, worried that the child would be scared, but she still organized her thoughts and headed back to the tent.
From afar, he could see A Jin, who was waiting outside the tent with a small bean bag. He was still holding the green bean cake in his hand and dancing up and down, teasing the crying girl.
