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

"I wonder, sir, what should I address you as?"

Kang Wu is a rough man who practices martial arts. Even if he deliberately lowers his voice, it is still as loud as a bell.

"I dare not. Kang Datun is a very impressive man. The Du family's patriarch and elders have not spoken here.

You’re starting to get stiff…”

Shuncheng said this, took a sip, and spat out the dogtail grass in his mouth.

——That posture is really not pretty——

"What are you going to do, you bastard?"

Su An was directing the luggage and arranging the distribution when he heard the voice of his oldest son behind him. He turned around and saw Shun Cheng's cynical Mo Yan.

Shuncheng glanced at his father and ignored him.

Then he drooped his eyes, poked Kang Wu with his nose, and said sarcastically, "If I didn't know, I would think you were the local emperor of this valley. You are so arrogant!"

“You, you—

"Stop talking nonsense! You are slandering me." Kang Wu was not good at speaking, and Shun Cheng's words made him so angry that it felt like a ball of fire was stuck in his chest, neither going up nor down, unable to vent his anger.

Angry face flushed red

The middle-aged man who had been standing behind Kang Wu stood up at this moment, clasped his hands together and stepped forward to salute, and respectfully replied to Shun Cheng, "I don't know which young master you are. Young master, you are joking. Captain Kang is a warrior, a rough man, and doesn't understand those red tape.

This is not the first time I have seen the patriarch. I am worried that these rough people will offend the patriarch. As you know, the patriarch is a woman.

That’s something these rough guys can’t afford to bump into…”

The middle-aged man tried to communicate with the person in front of him, reason with him, and perform well at the same time. If he could calm this person down, he would not only gain face in front of Kang Wu.

He had a good idea and there was nothing wrong with his words. It is said that one should not hit a smiling person. Even if one is very angry, one should not give some face to others who speak kindly and greet them with a smile.

But...if this person was Du Shuncheng, it would be different.

Shuncheng opened the fan in his hand, shook it, and looked up and down at the middle-aged man with his eyes raised, his mouth seemed to be filled with poison.

The venom sprayed directly into the middle-aged man's face and said, "Who are you? Am I talking to you?

This young master and the servants of my Du family are giving a lecture, how can you, a thing not even as tall as a carrying pole and not as wide as a door bolt, interrupt?

What do you think you are?

After saying this, Du Shuncheng didn't know what he saw. He turned around and walked towards the village in a leisurely manner, fanning himself in one hand.

That graceful and heroic posture——

If only... you could ignore the clothes that flew off the seams as he moved, and the dried, caked mess on his butt.

.........

Su An stared at his youngest son as he walked away, then he walked up to him, smiled, and said apologetically, "Kang Wu, it's my fault for not educating him well. Shun Cheng spoke rudely. I brought him here to apologize to you..."

"Second Elder, look at what you said." After hearing this, Kang Wu realized that the arrogant boy just now turned out to be the old man's son.

Although what the kid said was true, he had been in charge of hundreds or even thousands of people for so many years, so he was confident even in front of his father and spoke politely.

On the surface, what the boy said was not wrong, but his mistake was that he shouldn't have said it.

Kang Wu laughed and said, "Second Elder, you are too kind. Young Master is not wrong."

He walked past Su An and came to Wen Shu and said, "Chief, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. This village is so simple. If there are any shortcomings, please bear with me. I have already arranged for people to prepare the house."

Wenshu seemed to be looking around casually, and her sharp eyes noticed that just after Shuncheng said some bad words to the middle-aged man.

Wen Shu caught a glimpse of cruelty in the middle-aged man's eyes. At this moment, Kang Wu walked up to greet Wen Shu.

Wen Shu instantly withdrew her gaze, a friendly and appropriate smile immediately appeared on her face, and she quickly responded politely: "Oh, how polite! We are all family." There was nothing strange in her tone.

Kang Wu nodded slightly, saying nothing more. He stood silently beside Wen Shu, then raised his hand and pointed forward, bowing and saying, "Chief, please come this way."

After saying that, he took half a step back, leaned sideways to lead the way for Wen Shu, and explained the situation in the village.

As we went along, we saw thatched houses on both sides of the road being repaired. At this time, the only people at home were some older people or those who were injured and needed to recuperate at home. Apart from that, no one else was seen.

Although Wen Shu had inquired about the news in advance, she still asked casually, "Kang Wu, didn't they say there were hundreds of people in this village?

Why are these people...?"

Wenshu pointed around and asked Kangwu in confusion.

As if he had known Wenshu would have this question, Kang Wu exchanged glances with the middle-aged man behind him for a short while before responding, "Chief, you don't know that in addition to their usual training, these troops often have to work on their own.

So many people need to eat, not to mention they are all middle-aged men. If they don’t find other ways to make money, they will starve.”

Kang Wu had a worried look on his face as he spoke, while paying attention to Wen Shu's face. Seeing that she looked normal, he nodded to the middle-aged man behind him.

Su An, who was walking in front, heard the conversation between Wen Shu and the others behind him. He slowed down his pace and waited until they came over to explain, "The terrain here is special. Compared with other places, the crops in the fields are harvested at night."

Wen Shu nodded without saying much. Su An was obviously familiar with the place. After following him for a while, they stopped in front of a house covered with green bricks and tiles.

The house is not big, and the wall is a bamboo fence. Standing outside the fence, you can have a clear view of the house.

There are three rooms on the front, and I don't know what the two rooms on the side are used for...

Before Wen Shu could say anything, Kang Wu opened the gate and said, "Chief, please stay here for a while."

"What kind of a place is this? It's not a place for people to live in. I don't live here.

No, I want to move to another place..."

Kang Wu looked inside the house awkwardly, and saw the 'young master' making loud noises inside, showing no sign of hiding his dislike for the house.

He looked at Su An for help, and it was almost as if the words "Elder, please take care of your little ancestor" were written on his face.

Su An seemed not to notice Kang Wu's pleading eyes, and looked at Wen Shu and said, "Chief, this is the best house in the village. Because the position of chief has been vacant for a long time, this yard has also been empty, so no one lives there. If there is anything you need in the future, just tell Kang Wu."
