The Tang Dynasty and the Turks finally broke up and returned home.

The next time is to fulfill their respective commitments in accordance with the covenant...

And the time flashed forward slightly, and it was two months in the blink of an eye. At this time, it was not only the cold winter on the grassland, but also the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains became cold and depressing. Everything was in a state of silence, as if it was a dead land.

But even in this extremely cold season, it seems like there are raging fires that ignite people's hearts and light up the way forward.

That's called hope...

…

Aunt Gu's entire net worth is only one pair of shoulders.

All the household items are carried in the front, and a rattan basket is in the back. The household items in the front are in tatters, but the rattan basket in the back is tight and solid.

It was so cold that the cold wind made people shiver.

Aunt Gu was sweating because she was tired from carrying the burden. When the cold wind blew, she immediately shivered. This was not a good thing and could easily make her sick, so she almost didn't think about it and ran towards a pile of firewood with a look of horror on her face.

, she carried the load and tried to get closer to the firewood pile, fearing that she would be blown by the cold wind again.

She can't get sick, and she doesn't dare to get sick.

If she fell ill on the road, her child would not survive.

When she was hiding from the cold wind, her eyes couldn't help but look at her burden. Although she was shivering from the cold, her eyes towards the burden were all gentle.

The rattan basket on the shoulder is tightly covered.

There is the lifeblood of her Aunt Gu...

Two kids!

"Baby, girl, just be patient, be patient and we'll be there."

"You two can't open your coats carelessly. You must hide in the rattan basket obediently. Don't let the cold wind blow, and don't get cold sickness."

"My mother has led you all to walk hard for a month. We have survived the journey of thousands of miles. We must be patient and we will reach Youzhou soon."

"As long as you get to Youzhou, you will have a good life. There are hired workers everywhere, so Mom will definitely be hired to work. As long as Mom can find work, Mom will have the confidence to support you..."

This is the most honest woman.

All she muttered were the most simple words.

Find a job and feed your children.

…

The cold wind blew again, and Mrs. Gu shrank down subconsciously. She carefully stood in front of the burden, protecting the cane basket like a hen protecting its young.

Although the cold wind was biting, her face was full of gentleness.

The rattan basket was covered with a tattered big coat, and two children's little heads were exposed under the big coat. Suddenly, they heard two whispers, and they asked with distress: "Mother, are you cold?"

Auntie Gu laughed quickly, tried hard to restrain her shivers, and said, "Mom is wearing thick clothes, so the wind can't blow through them. You two should quickly cover up your coats and hide in the basket without showing your head. Be obedient.

Be a good boy."

"But mother, we are so hungry! We feel cold when we are hungry, and the cold is uncomfortable..."

"Mom, are you hungry too? You haven't eaten for a day. You will definitely feel cold when you are hungry. Cold makes you uncomfortable. You feel more uncomfortable than us, right?"

"Mother, mother, why don't you speak?"

"Mother, mother, how far away is Youzhou? Can we really make it? Can we really have a good life?"

"Mother, mother..."

…

"able!"

Auntie Gu suddenly shouted loudly, as if she wanted to drive away fear in this way.

She stretched out her hand to reach for the burden, and then struggled to lift it back on her shoulders. At this time, the cold wind was howling, and it was more biting than before, but Aunt Gu had a look of determination on her face. She gritted her teeth and walked out of the small haystack sheltered from the wind.

At this moment, she didn't talk to the children anymore.

But deep in her heart, there was a cry roaring.

"Even if mother dies of cold or illness, she still has to take you to Youzhou. There are only a few dozen miles to go. Mother can get through it if she grits her teeth."

The cold wind howled between heaven and earth, like a murderous knife.

Aunt Gu screamed in her heart, just like the great hero who died despite the fact that thousands of people died.

She knew that she would definitely sweat while carrying the load, and if the cold wind blew after she sweated, she would definitely fall ill.

Once she falls ill, she will not survive.

But she couldn't wait any longer, because her two children had been without food for a day. If she couldn't get to Youzhou in time, both of her children would die on the road.

For a mother, the child must never die.

Then, let her, the mother-in-law, die...

…

"As long as I gather all my strength, carry the burden and rush forward like crazy, as long as I hold on to this last stretch, I can carry the two children to Youzhou.

"Gu Axiu, you have to hold on. Rush, rush forward. You are a mother, and you are full of strength now. You are not tired, you work hard. Think about the two children carrying the burden, you are

I don’t feel like I can hit a sprint again.”

"Grind your teeth and hold on, Gu Axiu, you are full of strength, you can definitely choose the child to go to Youzhou..."

"God, please give me a little more strength. I, Gu Axiu, am the mother of two children! I, Gu Axiu, must send the children to Youzhou..."

"Ahhhhh, God, please open your eyes and help me!"

There was a cold wind between heaven and earth, but it couldn't stop Aunt Gu's scream in her heart. At this moment, she seemed like a madman, and she was actually running with a load on her back.

No, that's not a gallop at all.

It was clearly a mad dash that was burning his own life.

…

Suddenly there were two fast horses ahead, rushing towards them like splitting through the cold wind.

There were two solemn-looking knights on the horse, each carrying a large package. They seemed to be impatient, and they jumped off before the horse could stop.

One of them hurriedly unwrapped the package and took out a big coat without saying a word. The other person had quick hands and eyes to save Gu Auntie, and shouted very urgently: "Old Qi, please move faster, this woman is covered in hot sweat.

If she gets sick due to the cold wind, both of us will get a zero in today's assessment."

"Yes, yes, hurry up and put it on her. This woman's eyes are crazy and dull. She is obviously another person who has become fierce. It seems that she also wants to fight to get the child to Youzhou City."

"Oh, another one! She is truly worthy of being a mother. She is risking her own life to give her child a chance to live."

"Stop being nagging, help her quickly. Just follow the old rules and light the small charcoal stove on the spot... First warm a bag of gruel to keep her warm, and then bake two pancakes to satisfy her hunger. This woman doesn't have four ounces of meat in her body, I guess.

She was very hungry along the way."

"These two children are very cold. Their eyes are a little dull and confused."

"Then why don't you hurry up and light up the portable small charcoal stove given by our master? Where's the typhoid first aid soup? Give these three ladies a sip first!"

…

…

"Sister-in-law, this sister-in-law..."

"Wake up and eat some pancakes to satisfy your hunger."

"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. We are the family soldiers of the Gu family in Youzhou. We are responsible for patrolling the entire Youyun Continent. Whenever we find people, we will be responsible for providing relief."

"Thank God, sister-in-law, you finally came to your senses."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Have you seen the little Gu family flag on our backs? This flag represents the protection of the Gu family in Youzhou..."

"If you meet us, it means you have arrived in Youzhou."

"Sister-in-law, we are the Gu family."

…

Aunt Gu gnawed the pancake with all her strength.

Even if she choked and rolled her eyes, she would not stop.

She was afraid that all this was a dream, so she tried her best to eat the pancake first. If it was really a dream, at least she would be full in the dream.

Her two children were full of hot porridge and were being held in the arms of two tall and strong men. They were still afraid of the children being cold, so the two men wrapped their children tightly in their coats.

Although the cold wind was still howling between heaven and earth, the burly bodies of the two men were like two mountains, so thick that they blocked the cold wind.

Aunt Gu suddenly burst into tears.

This situation of having a child protected by a man really makes people feel extremely at ease.

She looked at the small flag that the two men had shown her. There was a very square character written on it. Although she didn't know the word, the two men told her what the character was pronounced... that character was pronounced "Gu".
