Dinner was white rice with lard and some leftover chicken.

Su Zhi skillfully grinded half a bag of flour and rice ball into a piece of skin, then made a chicken roll for the two children to satisfy their cravings.

When they were preparing dinner, the system gave her a whole roasted lamb as well as a lot of seasonings that she used.

With the previous example, Su Zhi did not dare to be too arrogant. She cut a lamb leg into pieces and made half a bowl of sauce for the children to eat.

The rain lasted for two days. Just as the firewood was about to be used up, the sky finally cleared.

Early in the morning, Su Zhi stood up and started to eat. She made the rice cake with the flour, and used the flour to make some soft and tasty steamed buns to prepare for the journey ahead.

She stayed at home for two days without going out. However, the villagers' saliva was still splattered all over the place, and the rumors were extremely unpleasant to listen to.

Although Su Zhi felt uncomfortable in her heart, when she thought about how she was about to leave, she felt that her entire body had become much clearer.

The next day before dawn.

Su Zhi had already packed all her belongings and took out a set of cotton clothes from the wooden cabinet to give to Ah Jin's father.

The material looked old, probably worn for some years, and the frontier began to turn cold in October. She thought of making some new clothes for her husband, whom she had not met yet, when she got there.

After finishing everything, Su Zhi then gently pushed the two children on the bed and gently smiled at them, "It's time to wake up children, let's go look for Father together."

Ah Jin nodded, and immediately got up from the bed. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, and put on his shoes and clothes.

After Su Zhi put on the clothes, she gave the two children some breakfast, then took out a man's robe from the cupboard and changed into it.

It would be inconvenient for a woman to have an identity when she was away, so it was better to dress like this.

When the morning glow started to disperse in the dark sky, Su Zhi and the two children locked the door and left the Tranquil Village without looking back.

Tranquil Village were not peaceful, if she found her husband, she would also find a better place, a place that would hurt people's hearts.

Not long after she left the village, Su Zhi spent a few coins and sat on the oxcart with the two children. From start to finish, she did not have any intentions of lingering around, and just left without a sound.

When they arrived at the market, she asked many times to find out which military camp the brawny guy who was taken away from Tranquil Village went to.

Although it was called the border, it wasn't that far. Qing He County was originally quite far away from the Imperial City, and in comparison, the border was much closer.

Su Zhi found a caravan that was passing through the border, and spent a few taels of silver as her fare. There were still a few dozen taels left, she couldn't help but think that she had borrowed a little too much.

She hadn't been here for long, so she didn't really know much about currency. However, this twenty taels of silver was enough for a commoner to live for a year.

Walking out of the city gate for around twenty to thirty miles, there were no longer any villages or farmhouses.

Qing He County was like an unremarkable rock that had been left behind on the riverbank, easily thrown far away.

Along the way, Su Zhi rarely spoke. Occasionally, she would lower her voice and pretend to be a hoarse and thick male voice.

She was dressed in rags, probably, and had two children with her. The leader of the caravan, who had mistaken her for a widower with a dead wife, let her do as she pleased when he saw that she didn't like to talk to anyone.

Fortunately, Ah Jin was sensible and helped to take care of Little Pancake, but he was able to endure the difficult journey.

Every time she woke up from her nap, Su Zhi would trick him and give him some candy that he had never eaten before as a reward.

The caravan moved and stopped to rest. Since it was the era of war, they didn't dare to take a shortcut and headed north on the official road.

It was already five days later when he arrived at the border.

For a whole five days, Su Zhi had spent all her time on the boat. Not to mention the two children, even she couldn't handle it. But when she saw the three golden words "Black Cloud Pass" on the wall, she couldn't help but smile and jump in joy.

What should he say when he sees Nie Rufeng later? She was not the real Su Zhi, so he could not be that watertight.

How was she supposed to interpret the deep love and love that a husband and wife should have for each other so that it wouldn't be seen through? Being a married couple who had separated from a man she had never met before, when she thought of what she would face later on, her face reddened.

"Mother, is this where Father joined the army? We can see daddy now? "

"Yes, this is the place."

Su Zhi gently caressed Ah Jin's little head, and hugged his little daughter who was sound asleep on her shoulder, feeling uneasy.
