Chapter 378: Second branch separation
“What’s wrong?” Bai Erzhu asked .
Mrs . Zhang sighed and raised the copper coins in her hand and said, “It’s only a few pieces of money, even if we don’t spend much money for foods, how are we going to survive this winter?”
Bai Erzhu sat down beside Mrs . Zhang and released a long sighed: “I thought niang will give us at least 1 or 2 silver coins, so that we can buy rice noodles until next spring, but who would have thought—-”
Bai Erzhu lowered his head and stayed like that for a long time, but then suddenly, he raised his head and anxiously said: “I think I better join the army . At least we can save one person’s rations and get 10 silver coins . You, Zhenzhu and Fugui will not starve to death . We can also save some money for Fugui’s marriage . ”

Mrs . Zhang quickly shook her head: “No, no, it’s terrible on the battlefield . I’m not like your aging mother . What if you die, I don’t want to be a widow . I’ll just go to my brother’s house and borrow some food . Let’s talk about other things when winter comes . ”
Bai Erzhu felt warmth in his heart . He pulled Mrs . Zhang’s hand and hugged her in his arms: “Nevertheless, only you love me dearly . ” Remembering how indifferent the old lady while telling him and Fugui to join the arm yesterday, his heart felt cold, but now it finally gets warm again .
Mrs . Zhang was startled by Bai Erzhu’s sudden hug, and so she quickly pushed him away: “What are you doing? What if Fugui comes in and see . ” Even though she said that her usual cold face finally showed a shy smile .
“Awu, this sword is for you . ” Hu Feng took one of the long swords that Awu brought back from the blacksmith shop in the town .

The two swords were: one long and light, one long and heavy .
He had observed Awu . According to Awu’s habits, he should be used to a heavy sword, so he deliberately let the blacksmith make two different kinds of long swords .
Awu was so happy that he immediately pulled out the sword to try it . Although it was not as good as the sword he used in the camp, it was better than any ordinary sword in the market .
“Your highness is considerate . I am used to a heavy sword . This sword is just right . ”
Hu Feng slightly smiled: “Just use it for now . If I get an opportunity in the future, I will find a much better one for you . ”

“Thank Your Highness!” Awu saluted with a closed fist in the chest . Since he knew he was Prince Jin, he could no longer treat him as Hu Feng .
Hu Feng looked around him, when he saw no one is around, he said: “Don’t call me your highness . Just call me Hu Feng like before . My identity shouldn’t be exposed right now . ”
Awu nodded quickly, “Yes, Your Highness!”
Hu Feng felt lazy to correct Awu again . When he turned his head, he saw Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan pushing the cart . He quickly threw the sword in his hand to Awu and rushed forward to help .
Zhao Lan refused to give the cart to him: “Oh, you don’t need to help . This is just a simple job, we can do it ourselves . You just rest, you’ll go to the army camp tomorrow . ”
Hu Feng still grabbed the cart and pushed it to the yard: “It’s all right . ”
After putting the cart in place, he helped Bai Zhi to bring the empty wooden barrels and bowls to the backyard .
Bai Zhi sat in front of a large tub to wash the dishes, while Hu Feng stood by and watched . No one opened their mouth to speak .
Who knows how long it took before Bai Zhi finally put down the bowl in her hands and then raised her head to look at Hu Feng: “‘Can you stop looking at me?”
Hu Feng grinned and said: “Your finally willing to talk to me?”
Bai Zhi’s eyes rolled, she turned away her gaze and continued washing the dishes: “When did I refuse to talk to you? You speak like I am angry with you . ”
