A bowl of porridge was placed in front of Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao looked at the empty room and didn't say anything.
In the coldest month of winter, it would be nice to have something warm to drink.
Zhang Bao looked at the porridge in the bowl. As a former chef in the military cooking class, Zhang Bao didn't even know what it was.
It seems like some kind of beans or some kind of chaff.
But Zhang Bao was so hungry that he started to drink heavily.
It's still a bit hard in the entrance, with a bit of bitterness.
Sudden.
There was a sound of swallowing saliva in Zhang Bao's ears.
Zhang Bao then remembered that Su Xiaoyue had been standing by the window with her back to him since just now.
Thinking back on the memories in my mind.
Only then did I realize that this was the rule set by that bastard Zhang Bao before. He disliked Su Xiaoyue for keeping swallowing when she was serving him dinner.
Let Su Xiaoyue turn her back to him and stand facing the window.
Zhang Bao sighed.
Su Xiaoyue in front of him.
Wearing only thin clothes, he was shivering from the cold, and there was almost no flesh on his body.
As skinny as firewood.
Su Xiaoyue put on the clothes that didn't fit her body very well. She held her cuffs tightly to block the cold wind from invading.
There are still some bruises on the exposed arms.
They were all beaten by Zhang Bao before.
In Zhang Bao’s impression.
Su Xiaoyue's parents also have some wealth. Su Xiaoyue's father seemed to be a teacher before.
But then natural disasters and man-made disasters, coupled with the rampant plague.
Both parents died of illness.
She was bought by Zhang Bao's father with a few taels of silver and became Zhang Bao's child bride.
But this Zhang Bao.
Maybe it was premature birth or something.
A total sadist.
Before, when I still had some wealth, I would take pleasure in abusing Su Xiaoyue, beating and scolding her, and depriving her of food. This was very common.
In this era.
A woman's life is so worthless.
What's more, she was a purchased child bride.
Zhang Bao thought about the violence his body had done to Su Xiaoyue.
They all have the urge to commit suicide.
For a moment, I didn't know how to speak.
Sudden.
Zhang Bao noticed that there were many tears falling in front of Su Xiaoyue.
Su Xiaoyue's body was also sobbing constantly.
"well……"
Zhang Bao sighed helplessly.
I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times.
Don't live in a woman's body, and your happiness and suffering will come from others.
These two items.
They were all occupied by Su Xiaoyue.
"You...come over and eat something together!"
Zhang Bao waved to Su Xiaoyue.
Su Xiaoyue turned around in surprise, with two tears on her face, thinking she had heard wrongly.
But he stubbornly turned his head back.
Zhang Bao was a little helpless.
After all, this kind of thing cannot change all of a sudden.
It's normal for her to hate herself.
But Zhang Bao couldn't explain to her that this Zhang Bao was not that Zhang Bao.
However, this Su Xiaoyue didn't say a word to herself.
"Why don't you say anything?"
"Are there any clothes at home?"
Zhang Bao asked Su Xiaoyue again.
Su Xiaoyue wiped it on her face.
nodded.
Then walked out.
After a while, he walked in carrying some clothes.
Judging from the floating soil on the baggage, it must have been buried by Su Xiaoyue.
This Su Xiaoyue is really a bit...smart.
Zhang Bao picked up the clothes and looked at them.
"Why are they all men's clothes?"
"No women?"
Zhang Bao asked in surprise.
Su Xiaoyue shook her head and looked at Zhang Bao timidly.
I was afraid that Zhang Bao would be beaten and scolded again.
"These clothes, you... simply pick a few and put them on first. The weather is too cold, you will freeze if you do this."
"And that porridge, as soon as you finish it, I'll be full!"
"I'm going to pee outside!"
Zhang Bao said as he walked out.
Su Xiaoyue looked at Zhang Bao in disbelief.
Didn't expect that.
This time Zhang Bao woke up as if he was a different person.
Not only is there no longer the violence in his eyes.
And even the tone of voice has changed.
Could it be...
Stupid?
Have you forgotten everything that happened before?
well……
No matter what, as long as you don't get beaten, it's always a good thing.
Su Xiaoyue looked at the slightly cold porridge on the table.
Swallowed.
After all, I didn’t go to drink.
I just picked a slightly thicker piece of clothing and put it on my body, and then I felt a little warm.
It is already the twelfth lunar month of winter.
Just keep wearing those thin clothes.
Su Xiaoyue didn't know how long she could hold on.
She doesn't want to die...
I don't want to be beaten to death.
I don't want to starve to death either.
I don’t even want to freeze to death.
But how long can we persist in the current world?
If I had known earlier, if I had died with my parents, I might not have suffered so much...
Su Xiaoyue's tears fell down again.
Through the crack in the door.
Su Xiaoyue looked at Zhang Bao in the yard.
He was exhaling with both hands and stamping his feet on the spot.
After a slight hesitation, he quickly opened the door.
Zhang Bao watched the door open and quickly got in.
"I'm freezing to death, I'm freezing to death!"
"We have to light a fire."
"Looking at this gloomy look, it seems like it's going to snow."
Zhang Bao stamped his feet and kept rubbing his hands.
Su Xiaoyue looked at Zhang Bao in surprise.
Zhang Bao would never tell him such a thing before.
"Hey, why didn't you eat?"
"It's all cold!"
Zhang Bao said with some complaints.
Su Xiaoyue shook her head and looked at Zhang Bao curiously.
It seems that he has made up his mind.
He said to Zhang Bao seriously: "Actually, I am mute..."
Looking at Su Xiaoyue's serious look.
Zhang Bao almost laughed out loud.
Dumb?
The mute still speaks?
This silly girl...
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Su Xiaoyue obviously realized what a stupid mistake she had made.
His face turned red instantly.
"Well, no."
"I'm...not hungry..."
Su Xiaoyue said in a voice as loud as a gnat.
Shaked his head.
Zhang Bao looked at Su Xiaoyue helplessly.
Maybe it's because of traditional feudal thinking, or maybe it's just out of fear that Su Xiaoyue doesn't dare to eat it.
"I am your husband!"
"Don't you even listen to what your husband says?"
"Eat quickly!"
"Otherwise, I will beat you up!"
Zhang Bao had no choice but to pretend to be fierce and said.
Zhang Bao wanted to beat himself up when he heard it.
Su Xiaoyue was obviously trembling. Although she didn't understand what the word "husband" was in Zhang Bao's mouth, seeing Zhang Bao's fierce look brought back the frightening memory of the past.
Then he sat on the chair and started eating.
"It's completely cold. Let's heat it up before eating..."
Zhang Bao looked a little unbearable.
Su Xiaoyue said nothing and kept shaking her head.
The teardrops rolled down into the bowl like broken threads.
There were only a few bites left in total.
Su Xiaoyue patiently used chopsticks to eat every grain of rice.
After eating.
Somewhat embarrassedly, he stood up and looked at Zhang Bao blankly.
There was a heroic determination on his face.
"What happened before..."
"Uh... I'm sorry."
"I will let you live a good life in the future."
Zhang Bao stammered.
to be honest.
I don’t know if it’s because of my identity or because of the soldier’s innate sense of justice.
In Zhang Bao's memory, he felt very distressed and indebted to his little daughter-in-law.
Although I didn't do it myself.
But it was also this body that did it.
Zhang Bao naturally felt that he had something to do with it.
