Jiang Rong arrived in Liangcheng in June. June, July and August are the most comfortable months here. Jiang Rong temporarily settled down here.

He didn't quite understand the people here, so Jiang Rong chose to live in a place far away from the crowd. The people here seem to be poorer, and Jiang Rong has two taels of silver all over his body, so he is considered a rich man here.

The people here are not friendly either, they always look at Jiang Rong with weird eyes, only when Jiang Rong buys something from them, their eyes are a little kinder.

Two taels of silver is enough for Jiang Rong to live for a while, but he still has a child to raise, and the cost of giving birth is also a lot, so Jiang Rong planned to come out to find some work while the weather was still cold.

People in Liangcheng are generally taller than those in Chang'an, with more pronounced facial lines. They look a bit like Lu Ganjun, but when he thinks of this person unexpectedly, Jiang Rong still feels a little ache in his heart.

In fact, he had dreamed of Lu Ganjun countless days and nights. In the dream, Lu Ganjun found him, treated him well as before, said that he loved him, and would marry him.Jiang Rong always had a smile on his face every time he had such a dream, but it was always a dream.

If the real Lu Ganjun finds him... Jiang Rong's body turns cold, thinking of Lu Ganjun's ruthlessness, he must not let him find him.

After several days of not finding something to do, Jiang Rong felt a little anxious. He couldn't just sit and eat. If he couldn't find anything today, he would have to move to another place to live.

There is yellow sand everywhere in Liangcheng. There is a reason for poverty here. There is nothing to grow in the desert, and there are barbarians invading. Walking on the road, Jiang Rong listened to the conversations of passers-by, and felt more and more that he could not stay here for long.

During the days when she and Lu Ganjun were hypocritical, Lu Ganjun didn't shy away from him when dealing with political affairs. Jiang Rong vaguely heard Lu Ganjun say that this winter seems to be to drive away the barbarians completely, so that the people of Liangcheng can live better.

Last winter, no one died of freezing, but this year may not be the case. Jiang Rong looked at the beggars on the side of the road in twos and threes, some of which were only as high as his knees, and Jiang Rong couldn't bear it.

He touched his stomach and bought some cakes from the shop.Forget it, he should accumulate blessings for the child in his womb.

Returning in vain again, Jiang Rong returned to the small house he rented and packed his things.He has been in Liangcheng for ten days, and these ten days have been spent sitting and eating, and the people here look numb and lifeless, which makes him a little scared.

She was about to leave, but Liangcheng was suddenly sealed off. Jiang Rong was afraid that Lu Ganjun had found this place, so she could only hide for a while and quietly inquire about the news.

It turned out that a big shot came, and I heard that he was here to find someone. Jiang Rong didn't know who the so-called big shot was, and he didn't dare to reveal it. Although it was probably impossible for Lu Ganjun to come out to find him in person, he acted strangely, and everything was possible. .

So in the following days, Jiang Rong bought a lot of food and stayed in his hut, hardly going out.He also bought some cloth, sewed some clothes in his spare time, and when the time came to unseal them and sell them, it was also a fortune.

Time came to the end of July in a hurry. Liangcheng, which had been sealed for more than a month, was finally unsealed again. Jiang Rong was also bored. He sewed more than a dozen pieces of clothes, wrapped them into a big package, and carried them to the market to sell. .

The package is bigger than his stomach. Jiang Rong is not short in Chang'an City, but he is really thin and small here. The abrupt stomach and the huge package always make people worry whether he will bear it. Unable to be overwhelmed, they all looked over on the road, Jiang Rong was not afraid of them watching, and carried them all the way to the bustling market.

The burden was spread out on the ground, and the clothes were laid out one by one. Maybe he was too conspicuous as he walked all the way, so as soon as Jiang Rong sat down, many people came up around him.

"How do you sell your clothes?"

"Cotton ones, aren't they cheap?"

"It won't last long, and it will be cold in another month."

Surrounded by the crowd, Jiang Rong answered them one by one.

A carriage drove up in the distance, it was Shen Yiheng who did not give up and wanted to stay and look for it again.

"Master, let's go, maybe Young Master Jiang has already gone elsewhere."

"But someone saw him appearing in Liangcheng. According to my understanding of A Rong, he is lazy. He definitely doesn't like to travel around, and he won't go anywhere else easily."

"Maybe Young Master Jiang has changed now?" The boy murmured, Shen Yiheng glanced at him, and thought so, the last time he met Jiang Rong was ten years ago, people change.

"Forget it, let's go." Shen Yiheng sighed, the time he stayed in Liangcheng was indeed too long.

A gorgeous carriage passed by in the bustling market, but it only got people's curious and envious glances. Jiang Rong glanced at it by chance, saw that the carriage looked familiar, and lowered his head in panic, not daring to look any more.It was just that when the carriage drove away, he raised his head and took a closer look. Some dusty memories were awakened. Jiang Rong suddenly pushed away the crowd and chased towards the carriage with his stomach in his hands, but after chasing for hundreds of meters, he was exhausted and returned to When they arrived at the same place, the surrounding people were almost scattered, and even a few pieces of clothes were missing, Jiang Rong didn't care about it, he only thought about the person passing by just now, whether it was him...

"Hey! Are you selling your clothes?"

Jiang Rong was woken up by someone, and smiled apologetically at him, "Sell."

Forget it, whether it was Shen Yiheng or not, they all missed it anyway.

Jiang Rong sold it cheaply, and soon all the clothes were sold. Even after the cost, Jiang Rong could earn a few hundred dollars, so Jiang Rong went to buy a few more bolts of cloth, and went back to continue making clothes.

He originally planned to leave, but his body was too heavy, and he couldn't walk far by himself, and he was even more afraid of accidents along the way, so Jiang Rong finally decided to earn more money and give birth to the child here before leaving.

But he stayed here for several months.

The days passed to September, and the weather was already very cold. Jiang Rong had hired someone to set up the kang as early as August, and bought a lot of firewood from the villagers. Charcoal fire was too expensive for him to afford.

I heard that the mountains are closed by heavy snow in winter, and the house is often crushed by the heavy snow. Jiang Rong prepared a lot of food and asked someone to strengthen his small house. A well was dug in the yard so that he no longer had to ask others for water.

He will probably give birth in November, when the weather is particularly cold. Jiang Rong has worked so hard to sew clothes for the past few months, and he can earn every penny. Seeing that the money in his hand is gradually increasing, he has a sense of security in his heart. , The house is full of additions, the children's small clothes, small quilts, etc., are all sewn by Jiang Rong himself.

In September, it was too cold to go out, Jiang Rong lit firewood in the house, and the yard was full of firewood, probably enough for him to survive this winter safely.

With nothing to do, Jiang Rong remembered the method of growing vegetables in a wooden box that he had read in a book, so he wanted to try growing some vegetables himself.

Food is scarce here in winter, and even those with money cannot buy green leafy vegetables.

In this way, another month passed in peace, and in October, Jiang Rong's stomach was growing day by day, and he began to lose sleep at night, always being woken up from time to time.

The burden brought by the stomach was getting bigger and bigger. Jiang Rong's legs and feet were swollen, and his whole body was very heavy. He often lay in bed and couldn't get up. He always had to change several positions to get up slowly.But every time he touched his protruding belly, his heart would always be filled with tenderness, and he felt that all the suffering was worth it.

Far away from the village, Jiang Rong didn't know that there was a famine in the village. People had nothing to eat and no money to buy, so they fought for a handful of food, and selling children and daughters often happened.

The people in the village almost forgot about Jiang Rong, until one day a child was so hungry that he knocked on Jiang Rong's door, took back a small cake from Jiang Rong, and then looked at Jiang Rong The direction of the place is like seeing a sweet pastry.

Almost everyone's eyes are very fanatical. There are only a dozen families in this village, and there is not even a serious village head. There is only a man named Hei Bao, who is the boss of these people.

The cake that Jiang Rong gave to the child just now is now in the hands of Hei Panther.He took a bite of the pancake with his big withered hand, "Let's go." If you are sensible, let him be your wife, if you are not, then kill him and eat meat.

A group of people walked towards Jiang Rong.
