Shen Youyou was panicking. His father couldn't go to the army because it would be a real fight. Look at how thin his father is now.

"The terrain is similar, wife and daughter. I think we have to head north to the territory of King Yan. This is also the reason why I don't plan to open an escort agency." Shen Zhiqiu said helplessly.

Shen Youyou brought out paper and pen, ground some ink and said, "Tell me where these princes are located. Just use our modern place names. I'll draw a map and we'll analyze it."

“The kings of the west are: Yunnan, Guizhou, Chongqing, Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Ningxia;

The kings of Eastern Wu are: Hubei, Anhui, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Henan, and Shandong;

The Nanyue Kings are: Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Zhejiang;

The Northern Yan kings are: Shanxi, Hebei, Beijing, Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang;

We are now in Hubei, close to Henan." Shen Zhiqiu narrated concisely.

Shen Youyou has been a top student since childhood and has a very good memory. I can’t say that she has photographic memory, but as long as she pays attention, she will definitely remember what she sees after reading it several times.

In a short while, she finished drawing the map, which made Shen Zhiqiu very proud.

"We are probably in this place, called Caiyang County. My hometown is called Shenjia Village here, because except for three families who escaped from famine, the rest of the family has the surname Shen."

"Then why do we have to go to the north? Isn't it closer to the east?" Shen Youyou asked.

"Because the King of Yan has the youngest daughter, she is said to be only in her forties."

Okay! This weird reason successfully convinced her:

"Dad, from what I hear from you, you want to go with Shenjia Village? After all, there is no conscription yet, will everyone follow?"

"This village is not big, with only 286 households and people in total. I am the only scholar in this village, so I can probably take away at least half of them.

We can’t go on the road alone these days. I guess there will be a lot of people fleeing famine after they start military service. If we walk on the road with too few people, something bad will happen.”

"Oh my god, with your education level, you have become a scholar. This is really a miracle!"

When Mr. Shen was in school, he was well-known for not liking to study. He and Ms. Shen were classmates. Ms. Shen was the best student in the class since childhood. Mr. Shen was not the worst, but he was definitely among the bottom five.

Li Jingshu was also amused by this remark. She was also speechless. In this life, her own Shen has become a cultured person. How rare!

"Didn't you hear what I said before? I got the top three in the exam. Girl, do you know what the top three in the exam means?"

Shen Zhiqiu showed off proudly.

"Okay, you're really awesome, just keep talking!" Shen Youyou gave the insincere praise.

"I've already told you about your mother's situation. Now let me tell you about the Shen family. I'm 27 years old this year. We are the same age. Our daughter is exactly 10 years old and our son is 5 years old."

At this point Shen Zhiqiu raised his eyes and glanced at his daughter, his eyes were full of meaning, making Shen Youyou look puzzled.

Before she could ask, Shen Zhiqiu continued, "There is also my father Shen Changshuan in my hometown. The villagers call him Old Shentou. My mother Hua Erxiang, everyone likes to call her Old Lady Hua. She is over 40 years old this year."

After saying this, Shen Youyou's tears were already welling up, but she wasn't crying loudly.

Instead, her eyes were dull and empty, with tears flowing quietly. Seeing this, Li Jingshu hurriedly hugged her daughter tightly in her arms.

Because these are the names of Yoyo's grandparents. She grew up with them and they have a very deep relationship. Both of them passed away before Yoyo was fifteen years old.

There was a time when Li Jingshu even felt that her daughter's soul was no longer at home.

She spent the whole day in a daze, like a zombie. Whenever she saw the items that the two old people had used, she would cry silently.

For fear of bringing up their daughter's deep-seated painful memories, the couple never mentioned her parents-in-law at home, and packed up and sealed up all items related to them.

Ten years have passed, and this is still a taboo that the Shen family cannot touch.

"I want to go to Shenjia Village." After a long time, Shen Youyou said in a hoarse voice, and her voice was very light, as if she was afraid of scaring something.

"Yoyo, Dad thinks this is our past life, because your grandparents look the same as in our past life.

If you want to go to Shenjia Village, you have to be careful. You have to call them dad and mom from now on. Jingshu, you can’t call me husband anymore. You have to call me... um, you can call me Old Shen too.”

Shen Zhiqiu felt that his wife could not call him "husband".

Besides, even if they call these two words, they have to be alone together, otherwise it would be embarrassing for their daughter to hear it.

Shen Youyou felt mixed emotions after hearing what Shen Zhiqiu said. She had not let go of them over the years, but she had kept her grandparents in the deepest part of her heart.

Because I saw my parents worried when I was sad, I had to pretend that I didn't care.

This may be what dad meant, it’s great that they can still see their grandparents in their past and present lives!

She forced herself to calm down, wiped away her tears and asked her father to continue.

Shen Zhiqiu continued speaking in a cheerful tone as much as possible;

Our Shenjia Village is quite far from the county seat. If we go further north, we will reach Henan.

My parents had three sons and one daughter. I have an older brother named Shen Zhichun, an older sister named Shen Zhixia, and I am the third child, with a fourth brother named Shen Zhidong.

"This is easy to remember, just spring, summer, autumn and winter," Li Jingshu continued.

"Yes, my eldest brother and eldest sister were born in spring and summer. My fourth brother and I are twins, born in autumn. I was born first so we named me Zhiqiu, and my fourth brother was simply named Zhidong."

Seeing his wife and daughter nod to indicate that they remembered, he continued:

"My eldest brother has two boys and a girl, namely Shen Dabao, Shen Daya, and Shen Erbao.

My fourth brother has a son and a daughter, Shen Erya and Shen Yuanbao.

The family my eldest sister married was Wang Fuxi, an outsider in the village. My eldest sister’s husband had an old woman who also gave birth to a son and a daughter, Wang Shitou and Wang Taohua.

"Is our daughter's nickname San Ya?"

Li Jingshu looked at Shen Zhiqiu with a look that said, "If you say yes, you're done."

"No, no, our daughter's nickname is Yoyo."

The look in my wife's eyes is so scary.

"Wife and daughter, I think that although the world we came to is not very peaceful, at least we have saved three lives!

Don't worry, when we get to the place where the King of Yan is and settle down, I will take the imperial examination. If that doesn't work out, we can make landmines and hand grenades. My father knows how to make that. My grandfather was a Tubalu. I heard him talk about it when I was a child."

As he said this, he walked over and hugged the mother and daughter, and gently comforted them: "I will never let you suffer for too long, nor will I let you be in any danger."
