Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

Wang Shiyu stopped fiddling with the charcoal and looked at her second uncle. Seeing that there was no one else behind him, she asked in confusion:

"Uncle, you guys encountered a tiger, but where's my dad? Why didn't he come back with us?"

She took the cloth beside her, wiped her hands, and looked behind her second uncle curiously, wondering why her father didn't come back?

"Brother, he has not walked back yet. The tiger is just staring at him. If he moves, the tiger will move forward. As a result, brother dare not move, so I hurried back to report the news."

Second uncle, do you want to hear what nonsense you are talking about? Wang Shiyu looked at Wang Yizhui with a face full of question marks.

Wang Yizu's expression was a little strange, but the old man didn't notice it. However, the two children, Wang Shiyu and Zhou Qingyun, saw it, because Wang Yizu did not hide the change on her face. It seemed that something else was holding her father back, not the so-called tiger, and her second uncle's attitude made her feel a little strange.

It doesn't look like there is any problem with her father at all. You know, with their martial arts skills, they can easily kill one or two tigers. Why did he come back so strangely?

Wang Shiyu asked her mother and second aunt to look after the two children at home, and asked Wang Yizu to stay at home and not run around. She took the explosives and fire starters she had prepared, and shared five packs with the old man. She then quietly took out a crossbow and put it on the old man's hand. She also pulled out a very delicate and small dagger. The arrowhead was smeared with snake venom, which was the venom extracted from the poisonous snake she had killed before.

Wang Yizu looked at his niece applying poison to the arrow head, and he became hesitant to speak. However, he did not say anything. Instead, he went back to his room and pretended not to see it.

Although he didn't know what his second uncle was doing, there seemed to be something wrong with his expression. Wang Yizhui didn't notice the inquiring expression of Wang Shiyu behind him.

After leaving the house, the two men quickly armed themselves and walked towards the forest where his father chopped wood. The old man didn't care what his son was fighting for, thinking that since he dared to leave his brother in the woods, it was probably not a big problem.

Because the forest was not big, they had a relatively clear idea of ​​the situation inside. If they walked up from halfway up the mountain, the people above would be able to see everything clearly. So the father and son did not even think about hiding their whereabouts. Instead, they walked up directly and openly.

Just when Wang Shiyu was still looking for her father all over the mountain, a chuckle suddenly came from beside her.

"How come there is only a little girl and an old man left in your Wang family? Can't even a capable person stand up?"

Wang Shiyu and the old man tightened their grip on the crossbow, and then he looked to his right and saw an old man in armor who seemed to know them.

"Wang Huan, after all these years, I wonder if you still recognize me?"

The old man looked at this person calmly for a while. He seemed to have some impression of this person, but he couldn't remember this person. He was a little confused. How did he know this person?

"I don't know who you are, and why did you kidnap my eldest son and bring me here?"

The old man looked around and did not find his eldest son. He paused and looked at the old man sharply. Because he did not detect any murderous intent in him, he was only looking for his son and did not fight directly with the old man.

Wang Shiyu didn't care whether the two of them were reminiscing about the past or knew each other. Instead, she kept looking for her father. She wanted to make sure that her father was okay before she was in the mood to chat with this person. Mainly, this person didn't seem to have any hostility or murderous intent, as if he had deliberately let his second uncle come back to report the news.

"Little girl, there's no need to look for your father. He's still over there chopping wood. Nothing's wrong. Now that I'm standing here, I won't harm anyone in your family."

Wang Shiyu took a look at the man's face. He looked like a murderous man, but he was protected by righteousness. He seemed to be someone who had seen blood and killed people. He was probably just from the battlefield, otherwise no one could combine these two temperaments together, which even made Wang Shiyu a little tricky.

"Old man, please tell me why you kidnapped my father and asked my grandfather to come here. Or let me guess, you must be someone who came out of the palace, or... you must have something to do with my grandfather's childhood.

You know my grandfather, you know his identity, and you know how to lure him out. You don't look like you're here to look for that brat Zhou Qingyun, what else do you have a purpose for? Just tell me."

The man laughed loudly when he heard that, and looked at Wang Shiyu with some admiration. He estimated that if Wang Shiyu was not a child, he would probably take this man directly to the battlefield. This was exactly what he wanted. He didn't say anything, but the child guessed something.

"You are indeed quite clever, little girl. I wonder if you know Zhou Shunyu, the King of the Great Boat Dynasty."

To be honest, Wang Shiyu didn't know him, because she was a girl who was born in a small town and a small village and never left her home. How could she know anyone like the one with the same character "Yi Zi Bi Jian Wang" or the two with the same character "Ding Jian Wang"?

So she just cast her gaze to her grandfather who was standing in a daze beside her. Only her grandfather could answer this question.

"You are Prince Zhou. I wonder what you want to do by coming to see me? From what I know, you seem to be a neutral person and will not get involved in the mess of the fight for the throne. Since you are here to find me, I wonder if there is anything I can do to help you."

While his granddaughter was interrupting this person, he seemed to understand that this person was actually looking for him, not Zhou Qingyun. He didn't believe that a little Zhou Qingyun would trouble such a big prince to come and look for him in person.

"It seems that you really don't remember me. It's true that you were very young when you left the Regent's Palace. I was still on the battlefield in the south and didn't come back. It's normal that you don't recognize me, but you... Never mind."

The old man leaned against the tree with a relaxed body, and he only held a sword in his hand. He didn't seem to have any other thoughts. The old man's relaxed attitude made Wang Shiyu a little confused. What on earth was this man here for?

"Speaking of which, I have some history with your uncle. We were sworn brothers. The main reason why I passed by here was to see how your uncle was doing. I happened to meet your two sons here, so I also wanted to see how you have been doing these years. You may not remember me, but I remember you. When you were young, you often acted wild at my place."

Wang Shiyu looked at the old man with a puzzled look on her face. Is he sick? He hadn't appeared in front of her grandfather for so many years, so why did he suddenly remember him? She wanted to see how her grandfather was doing, but why had she been doing it before? Her grandfather had been hiding in Luojia Village for more than 20 years. How could she find him if she wanted to?

The old man seemed to be shocked by this person's words. He hadn't seen Prince Zhou for so many years. How could he suddenly remember him or was this person so familiar with him?

"I really don't know you. If you are looking for someone from the Zhang family, I'm afraid you have come to the wrong place. This place is very far from the official road. If you want to find someone from the Zhang family, I'm afraid you will have to go forward for a while before you can get down the mountain. There is no one from the Zhang family here.

In addition, if there is nothing else, please leave. We will not leave here for the time being. Please do not embarrass my family."
