A lonely room is a lonely home, so it is a ghost. This is a reason not to live in a prosperous area.
The pea seedlings have been picked again, and the wild peas are very tender. Said he went home, and he was depressed.
Anxiety is burning, and hunger is unbearable. The location of the garrison cannot be fixed, and it is impossible to take the letter home.
Bean sprouts are picked again, and the stems and leaves of wild peas are getting old. He said that he went home and went home again in October.
But the king's errand is not finished yet, and I have no leisure to enjoy this quiet and good time. Worried and guilty, I can't do it.
