Chapter 855 Hopeless City (123)
The old man continued, his tone vague, as if he was drunk, but there was a smile on his face.
Seeing such an affectionate scene made Zhou Ye feel uncomfortable all over. She sat a little further away, raised her head and took another big sip.
The strong alcohol burns the stomach, and this stimulation makes Zhou Ye very addicted.
She started drinking when she was sixteen and has been drinking until she is now almost thirty-six.
It is said that people's ability to drink is something they have learned through practice, but Zhou Ye's ability to drink has always been poor. He would start to feel faint after just three or two sips. After one bottle, he would definitely have to sleep all day and night.
In a daze, she watched the stars above her head begin to move slowly, and her eyes were full of shining stars. She shook her head, and the stars in the sky were stirred up, slowly flowing, becoming a river full of broken stars. .
The old man's words rang in her ears, and she heard him sigh, and then mutter contentedly.
"It's okay to live like this, wherever you go is not life. God is so good to me..."
Zhou Ye threw away the empty wine bottle and lay down on her back with her arms under her head. When the cold wind blew, the heat burned by the alcohol cooled down a little. She felt sleepy and slept on the roof.
——
Soldiers received letters home one after another.
The gloomy atmosphere in the city finally subsided a lot.
Some people comfort themselves that they are not living a good life anywhere, and if they stay here, they can continue to live door to door with their brothers.
Accustomed to the precarious life of fighting, the soldiers' mentality is as good as that of the generals. They will always comfort themselves and then accept it calmly.
Nearly a hundred acres of land have been cultivated, and now we are waiting for spring to come, sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn.
An old man pulled out the two cows hidden in the cave, so every morning at dawn, a group of young men could be seen playing with the two cows on the edge of the field.
After taking off their armor and putting down their weapons, everyone suddenly discovered that many of them were only around twenty years old.
Ordinary people would have to marry a wife and have children at this age, but most of them would not even have a chance to talk to a girl. Fortunately, there were still a few young girls in the city who had not left, and they were lucky enough to make eye contact with a few young men.
Zhou Ye doesn't care about this.
To put it bluntly, everyone can be considered as discharging their armor and returning home. Marrying a wife and having children should still be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
Around April, the weather was still very cold, but the vegetation in the city had sprouted buds, and an old lady wearing a light green cotton dress appeared at the city gate.
The soldiers guarding the city gate saw this unfamiliar face at a glance. It didn't take much to think about whose family members must be here.
Although they were not their relatives, the soldiers still shouted excitedly.
"Old lady, who are you looking for?"
The old lady already has a full head of silver hair, but her temples are neatly combed, her clothes are neat and clean, her back is straight, she walks with broken steps, and even when she raises her head to reply, her voice is the most authentic Imperial dialect.
"I'm looking for a veteran, his name is Lu Qi."
"Lu Qi?! Are you here to see Mr. Lu Qi?! Wow, you are that one... that one... forget it, come in quickly, come in quickly, the old man will be extremely happy when he sees you!"

The old lady was surrounded and walked into the city gate.
The city is still a little lonely, but it is much livelier and cleaner than when we first arrived.
The old man heard the news while he was in the toilet, and the boys outside stood on tiptoe and shouted inside.
"Old man, your wife is here! Waiting for you right in front of your house!!"
When the old man heard this, he was so shocked that the toilet paper almost fell into the pit.
