Traveling through the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, a story of survival in troubled tim

Fushun stayed in the house all day today. Everyone in the house was out, and she wanted to stay at home to watch over the house.

I have no idea what's going on outside.

When Xiao Shitou heard the patriarch say that his grandmother had passed away, he was shocked, but then he returned to normal in an instant.

"Ah, that old lady Luo was also a miserable person. She endured so many years. It's better for her to be gone, it's better for her to be gone!"

Fushun looked relieved, and Wenshu looked at him sideways at the look of relief he had given to others.

"Tonight, just make something casual, and don't overwork yourself."

Wen Shu glanced at her and gave instructions as she walked into the house.

After having some light porridge and side dishes in the evening, I went back to my simple study room early in the morning.

……

The next day, before dawn, Wen Shu was in the yard sparring with Jue Yu with a long stick.

The kitchen in the corner became lively as the sun rose.

After finishing the last set of stick techniques, Wen Shu put away the stick and looked at Jue Yu opposite her and said, "Jue Yu, you almost got hurt several times today. Let's stop here today. If you continue like this, I'm worried that I'll hurt you."

Jueyu also put away his spear, his face pale, and stepped forward to plead, "Miss, please forgive me."

"You haven't done anything wrong, why are you atonement?" Wen Shu pulled out the stick stuck in the ground, carried it on her shoulder and walked into the house.

"Girl, I..." Jueyu followed behind with a look of wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Wenshu had gotten up early in the morning and was sweating and sticky. She tossed the stick she was carrying on her shoulder into a corner, where it rolled to the ground, mixing with the sticks used for firewood. She was about to go into the inner room to wash up when she paused.

Asked, "Jueyu, are you still thinking about what happened with Xiao Shitou yesterday..."

"About this matter, I don't know what you've been through before, but I know that you have superb martial arts skills at such a young age, so your experience must be extraordinary.

You are the guard sent by my elder brother to protect me, but now that you are with me, you are mine. I don’t want you to be only about killing and using swords. You are a human being, so you should have human warmth.”

"Temperature" Jue Yu was a little confused, with confusion in his eyes.

"Yes, temperature, just like Grandma Luo, who is willing to hold on until her grandson is old enough to support himself.

"Just like Shaoyao, although she is my maid, you see she is greedy, playful, and likes to show off outside, but have I ever blamed her?" Wen Shu asked.

Jueyu thought of the peony that was as dazzling as the sun and replied, "No."

"You only see the current side of Shaoyao. You don't know that when Shaoyao was in Luoyang, I was bullied and she protected me alone. Even when her head was broken and bleeding, she didn't give in at all.

I was bullied outside, and even though I knew I was no match for you, I still had to put my hands on my hips and seek justice for me..."

"Okay, think about it carefully. When you have nothing to do, you can walk around the village and you will know the answer."

After saying that, Wen Shu went straight to the back of the house to wash up, leaving Jue Yu in deep thought.

.........

After washing up, she felt refreshed. It was still dark when she walked out of the house. Wen Shu looked towards the study and saw the swaying lights in the house, so she walked straight in.

Seeing the person waiting inside, Wen Shu closed the door and said in surprise, "I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

"My master's order is of great importance. I dare not delay." His voice was low and deep, as if it was deliberately lowered.

Thinking about today's itinerary, Wen Shu asked, "Tell me the truth about what you saw."

After hearing this, the man replied, "Master, that place is very mountainous and dangerous, but the land in the middle of the mountains is very flat.

When my subordinates went there, they were training."

He paused here, and seeing that his master didn't take it seriously, he continued to report the situation truthfully: "There are more than 800 young and strong men, and about 300 to 400 old, weak, sick and disabled people.

They farm during the day and train at night, and thanks to their geographical advantage, the place is completely invisible to the outside world!"

……

After Wen Shu finally finished telling him what he had seen, she asked, "Do you see any waterways around here..."

"My lord, the valley is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the widest stream around it is only four feet wide, making it impossible for boats to navigate," the man replied.

Wen Shu thought for a moment, then asked, "Have you ever seen the person in charge?"

"The person in charge..." The man thought for a moment and replied, "In the beginning, those people were secretly led by an old scholar, and they went to him for advice on everything.

Later, when the strong man who was with you yesterday returned, everyone followed him as the leader."

After saying that, the man waited there, waiting for Wen Shu's instructions.

Wen Shu was thinking about these things when she heard someone talking outside.

The two people in the room immediately tensed up. Wen Shu nodded at the man without saying anything more.

The man didn't say much. He just jumped onto the beam with a tiptoe. Sure enough, the next moment, there was a knock on the door.

Wen Shu stood in front of the desk, picked up a book at random, held it in her hand and shouted "Come in" to the outside.

It was Jueyu who came in and stood in front of the desk and reported, "Girl, the Second Elder sent someone to say that we will set off at noon this morning."

Wen Shu twisted her neck while holding the book, pretending to be tired from reading. She said to Jue Yu, "Chenshi? Did the people sent by the Second Elder say so?"

Jueyu replied, "It was a girl. The errand boy over there delivered the message in this way and ran away after delivering the message.

I was worried about missing the girl's time, so I didn't dare delay for a moment."

Putting down the book in her hand, Wenshu looked outside. The summer days were long and she could already see things clearly outside.

"Let's go! Don't waste the breakfast Fushun prepared. We still have to travel today!"

After saying that, he walked outside...

At the end of the hour of Mao, Wenshu took Jueyu to the yard and saw a carriage parked in the yard from a distance.

As Wen Shu approached, the carriage curtain was opened, and Su An, sitting inside, waved to Wen Shu and said, "Girl, get in the carriage."

Wen Shu looked around and saw only one carriage, followed by three men skilled in martial arts. One of them was riding a horse, and the other was holding another horse.

Seeing this, Wen Shu returned to the carriage and said, "Uncle, I'm coming."

After saying that, Wen Shu pointed at Jueyu, then pointed at the other person riding a horse and said, "Jueyu, go join them. This horse is for you!"

After saying that, Wen Shu looked at Su An in the carriage and asked, "Uncle, is this the arrangement?"

"Hahaha, you girl!" Su An pointed at the three people and said, "These people are members of the tribe. You saw them last time, but you didn't know them. These are all members of the tribe. As the tribe leader, they naturally obey your orders."

Wen Shu said nothing and walked towards the carriage. The driver was already ready, and Wen Shu stepped on a stool to get into the carriage.

After entering, Wen Shu discovered that there was a person in the carriage whom she didn't know.
