In early September, Wen Yan and others planned to go to Bugu County three days in advance to take part in the college entrance examination.

The night before departure, Wen Yan was still too nervous to sleep, and only fell asleep in the second half of the night.

While half asleep, Wen Yan noticed that Wan He beside her seemed to be having a nightmare, with sweat pouring down his forehead.

Wen Yan quickly stood up and patted him gently, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, mother is here."

Wan Xuan also woke up. She rubbed her eyes and asked, "What's wrong, mother?"

Wen Yan frowned: "Wanhe seems to be having a nightmare."

Wen Yan got out of bed, lit a candle, and wiped his sweat with a handkerchief. Suddenly, she found that the birthmark on the child's face was getting deeper and deeper.

Wan Xuan wanted to wake Wan He up, but no matter how she shook and called him, he didn't move. She couldn't help but said in fear, "Mom, what should I do? Why can't he wake up?"

Wanhe's eyelids were fluttering rapidly, and it seemed that he was still in a dream.

Wen Yan supplied him with life force while wiping his sweat and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, we will wait for him together, he will wake up."

Wan Xuan pursed her lips, tears welling up in her eyes: "Okay."

Xiangyun also woke up, walked over, hugged Wanxuan, and patted her little body gently.

When the day broke, Wanhe stopped dreaming, but he never woke up.

After the other members of the Wen family found out, they all came to visit Wan He, but the child didn't wake up until noon.

Xiangyun volunteered to go out and cook, but in fact he was just helping Wen Yangu.

She has been here for almost a month, but has had very little communication with the teacher.

But judging from his appearance, he must have been a handsome scholar when he was young. No wonder my mother couldn't bear to let him go.

Thinking of his mother's face in his memory, Xiangyun's expression darkened.

The two of them made some porridge and side dishes and ate with the children. Wen Yangu still needed to go to the school to teach, so he could only sigh and leave Wan Xuan behind. If Wan He woke up, he asked her to come and tell him in time.

Wan Xuan naturally agreed.

Time passed little by little, and it was almost time for Wen Yan and Wan Dongling to set off, but Wan He still didn't wake up.

Wan Dongling walked into Wen Yan's room and comforted her, "Mom, you stay at home and take care of your brother. He needs you now."

Wen Yan was in a dilemma, "But you...how can I not follow you to take the college entrance examination?"

"It's just the college entrance examination. Don't you believe in my ability?" Wan Dongling said calmly, sitting down and holding Wen Yan's hand, "Mom, please stay."

Wen Yan was still worried, "But, you are a girl, what if you encounter danger on the way..."

"Isn't Yang Mu coming with me?"

"He's just a skinny kid, how can he protect you?"

Yang Mu, who had just arrived at the Wen family and was about to leave, stiffened. It seemed that he had come at the wrong time.

Taking another look at his skinny body, he realized that what Madam Wen said was right.

Xiang Yun cleaned up the kitchen and came in, saying, "Then I'll go take it there."

She walked over to Wan Dongling and put her arm around her shoulders. "How about I accompany you to the college entrance examination?"

Xiangyun was asking about Wan Dongling.

The latter naturally felt good, "Mom, Xiangyun will take me there, so you should be relieved now, right?"

Xiangyun...

Wen Yan nodded, "I believe in Xiangyun, you take a gray sparrow, and contact me in time if there is anything."

"it is good."

Wen Yan saw them off and stayed with Wan He for a while until he finally woke up.

As soon as he woke up and saw Wen Yan and Wan Xuan, he started crying at the top of his lungs.

It was a rare moment for him to hug Wen Yan, his eyes full of dependence and unwillingness to let go.

The three of them just sat on the bed, hugging each other tightly.

Perhaps the crying was too loud, attracting Auntie Wang and Wang Yinchen from next door.

"Xiaoyan, are you okay? Why is Wanhe crying?" Aunt Wang asked worriedly while standing at the door. The voice seemed to come from Wen Yan's room.

Wang Yinchen let go of Aunt Wang's hand and ran in directly: "Wanhe! What's wrong with you?"

As soon as she heard Wang Yinchen's voice, Wan He stopped crying and wiped the tears and snot bubbles from her face with her sleeves.

The speed of his hands was so fast that Wen Yan was confused.

Wanhe wiped his face clean. Although it was still red, he felt much better. He was just still hiccuping.

Wang Yinchen ran to the bedside, looking worried, "What's wrong with you? Did you cry?"

Wan He hiccuped and said expressionlessly: "I didn't, you heard it wrong."

Wen Yan: ...Okay, you are a cool guy.

Aunt Wang also followed in, "Xiaoyan, this child ran too fast and ran into the house in an instant. Did he disturb you..."

"No," Wen Yan planned to take advantage of Wang Yinchen's trickery and said to Aunt Wang, "Can you take Wan Xuan to tell my father? Tell him that Wan He is fine and he has woken up."

Aunt Wang naturally had no objection.

Wen Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for your help."

Aunt Wang and Wan Xuan were sent away. Wen Yan wiped Wan He's face with a handkerchief and said seriously, "Can you tell me what happened now?"

Wanhe blinked and moved his lips.

Wen Yan touched his head and said, "Our little Yinchen also wants to know what brother dreamed about, right?"

Wang Yinchen nodded and grabbed Wan He's hand: "Wan He, my mother said that if you have a nightmare, tell the adults and they will help us drive away the monsters in the dream!"

Wan He lay in Wen Yan's arms and said sullenly, "It's not a dream, it's something that will happen in the future."

Wanhe had a very long dream.

In the dream, Wan Xiaqing first dreamed that she received news of the war at the border on the eve of returning home. She did not return home that year, but went to the border with Ye’s army.

When they arrived, it started snowing at the border. Everyone was very happy because snow was a sign of a good harvest, indicating that the next year would be a good year.

But this snow lasted for three whole months, from December to the end of February of the following year.

It was snowing in most of the Ning Dynasty. In many places along the border, the snow piled up to people's waists, making it impossible to get out.

Many people froze to death or starved to death.

The soldiers were running out of food and supplies, but they had not received any reinforcements. Without the imperial court sending them food, the Ye family army would not be able to continue fighting, no matter how brave they were.

They were fighting and losing, and had run out of ammunition and food.

Afterwards, Ye Qinghuai disappeared and the Ye family army was besieged in an isolated city.

At that time, Wan Xiaqing became the leader of ten thousand troops, but because of lack of food, he had to watch his soldiers die one by one.

Forced to do nothing, Wan Xiaqing led his soldiers out of the city with the determination to die. In the end, only Wan Xiaqing and a dozen Ye family soldiers survived. They went to the nearest granary, snatched the imperial grain and distributed it to the soldiers and the surrounding people.

Later, Wan He saw Wan Xiaqing being beheaded and died in the last snow.

Afterwards, the border was captured by barbarians and corpses were scattered all over the place.
