All rivers and mountains are safe

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Ciheng searched half of Yizhou City before finding Shen Mingan on a street a few kilometers away from Zhizhou's mansion.

A few hours ago, Shen Ming'an was so tormented that he couldn't sleep, but in the middle of the night when Lu Ciheng became more satisfied and stopped pestering him, Shen Ming'an buried himself in the blanket and fell into a drowsy sleep.

Lu Ciheng fell asleep later than him, Shen Mingan leaned his head in his arms, breathed evenly, dreamed of something, and frowned slightly.

Shen Mingan has always been against him, and when he had to sleep with him, he would always sleep on the side against the wall with his back facing him, or he would directly make him faint, rarely so defenseless sleeping next to him.

Although Shen Mingan still refused to say anything.

Lu Ciheng looked at his eyebrows and eyes, filled with joy in his heart, and kissed him lightly on the forehead. Even in his dream, Shen Mingan was calling him tenderly, and lingering with him with love.

He fell into a drowsy sleep, subconsciously reached out to hug the person sleeping beside him, and hugged nothing.

Lu Ciheng regained consciousness for a moment, and after asking Li Xingyuan, he found out that Shen Mingan had left the mansion an hour ago to monitor the distribution of relief food funds.

Because of surveillance, Shen Ming'an went to several places, and even the hidden guards sent by Lu Ciheng to protect him couldn't tell his exact location.

The city of Yizhou is very depressed, and the dilapidated scene is worse than what they saw on the road. The people are so hungry that the bark and grass roots are all for food, and some people died of abdominal distension because of eating Guanyin soil. Dead bodies lying on the side of the road, there are countless dead bodies on the road that have been frozen to death for a long time, and no one came to claim them. Not surprising.

An old man was dying of hunger, and tremblingly stretched out his hand to beg for some porridge from the person next to him. The hot porridge was just poured into the old man's red, swollen and chapped palm, which was suffering from chilblain. The old man thanked him again and again, holding the porridge in his palm and putting it into his mouth.

When Lu Ciheng saw Shen Ming'an from a distance, Shen Ming'an was standing at the porridge shed with his back to him, holding a child about one year old in his arms, and with a soft smile, he turned sideways and talked with the county magistrate beside him. Talking, the hair on the waist side was blown by the wind, making the waist appear more slender.

The child was leaning on Shen Mingan's shoulder, wearing a thin padded jacket covered with patches of different shades of color, a pair of clear and pure black round eyes stared at Lu Ciheng for a moment, then suddenly grinned at him Smiling, Lu Ciheng wanted to tease him, but he didn't know if it was because his face was too fierce. The child was frightened by him, the corners of his mouth drooped, his face wrinkled, and he hugged Shen Mingan's neck like the next moment. I'm about to cry.

Shen Mingan patted the child on the back, hummed a little tune to coax him, and calmed the child down. On his face was a soft expression that Lu Ciheng had never seen before. Lu Ciheng was stunned for a moment, thinking that if this was him and Shen Mingan Child, would Shen Mingan coax him so gently?

Perhaps Shen Ming'an would teach the children to read and write, and take the children out for outings in the warm spring days.

The more Lu Ciheng thought about it, the softer his heart became. Seeing him approaching, the child in Shen Mingan's arms twisted his small body uneasily, struggling in his arms. Shen Mingan noticed the abnormality of the child, and followed the child's direction. Turning his head, the expression on his face became vigilant and indifferent after seeing Lu Ciheng.

As if a pot of cold water had been poured down his head, Lu Ciheng thought that he must have dreamed too much and started to have these unrealistic fantasies. Shen Mingan hated him so much, even if he really had his child, Probably won't want it, let alone be born.

The huge gap made Lu Ciheng's good mood all morning disappear. He frowned and asked Shen Mingan: "Why didn't you tell me when you went out? Do you know how long I've been looking for you?"

Shen Mingan was puzzled, "Why did I tell you when I went out?"

The implication is that Lu Ciheng has no reason or position to care about him at all.

Lu Ciheng's face darkened, and just as he was about to speak, he saw the child in Shen Ming'an's arms sobbing and crying, struggling to get off the ground, Shen Mingan had no choice but to put him on the ground.

"Daddy." The child stumbled over and hugged the magistrate's thigh, pointing at Lu Ciheng while crying and said not fluently: "It's so fierce... woo..."

The county magistrate looked embarrassed, and he bowed his hands to greet Lu Ciheng, "The minister is Lin Hongshen, the county magistrate of Yizhou, and the dog is ignorant, so the prince laughed at him."

Lu Ciheng didn't want to blame a child, but he was surprised that this child was the son of the magistrate of Yizhou. Lu Ciheng thought he was a child of a poor family when he saw how thin he was and the clothes on his body.

The county magistrate is a small official, but his salary is not small compared to ordinary people. This is the first time I have seen the county magistrate Lu Ciheng who is so poor.
