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

Seeing Aunt Du Qi standing not far away, Wen Shu hurried forward, bowed respectfully, and said softly, "Aunt Qi, you see, we've already cleaned up this place thoroughly. In my opinion, why don't we go back to the village first?"

After saying this, she turned her head slightly and cast her gaze at the women behind her. "My dear aunts and sisters-in-law, you have worked really hard today! Look at this hot day, climbing mountains and searching, I'm sure everyone must be exhausted."

As Wen Shu spoke, she noticed that these women were sweating profusely due to the unbearable heat. The sweat had already soaked their hair, and strands of wet hair were stuck tightly to their foreheads.

At this time, Du Sheng's mother spoke first. She held a sharp hatchet in her hand, and the blade still had some green juice and fine grass leaves left on it from the recent felling of grass and trees.

She said loudly, "Chief, don't worry. Our original plan was to search this mountain and then return home.

After all, the journey to this distant place is difficult and dangerous. Putting aside whether our endurance can keep up, even in terms of physical strength, we are indeed a bit overwhelmed."

As soon as he finished speaking, the fiery-tempered Du Qinniang on the side immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, it's right for everyone to listen to the arrangements of the clan leader!" Usually, everyone is a little wary of this Du Qinniang, because not only is she good at talking, but she also has a lot of reasoning that makes it difficult for people to refute.

Du Qinnan's words were still quite intimidating. After she finished speaking, seeing that the clan leader did not object, everyone turned around and prepared to go back.

Wen Shu and the others were walking in the middle. When Du Qinnan saw Wen Shu, she couldn't contain her excitement any longer and followed Wen Shu closely.

She looked around and saw that the others were far away from them. She lowered her voice and asked, "Shu girl, come and tell your aunt, what kind of gangsters are those people?"

He was thinking about his sixth uncle and what to do with so many people he had captured this time. He was in a tangle of emotions when he heard the voice and turned around to see Du Qinnan, who looked eager to try.

Wen Shu saw this and immediately asked, "Seventh Aunt, why do you have such doubts?"

Those who had returned earlier should have also said that these refugees and rebel soldiers had fled from nowhere.

After thinking for a while, and worried about causing panic among other villagers, Wen Shu continued to explain, "Most of these people were originally ordinary people, but they were taken by the chaotic soldiers and there was really no way out."

Wen Shu didn't want to excuse these people. What was more important now was to calm the villagers so that they wouldn't think too much.

What's more, most people were escorted to the village, where there were more people and more dungeons, even if another hundred or eighty people came.

There is also a place to be detained...

After hearing Wenshu's explanation, Du Qinniang obviously didn't believe it and continued in a low voice, "I heard that those people wanted to come and massacre our village.

Not only did they rob our village of its belongings, they also wanted to wipe out all the people in our village."

When Du Qinniang said this, she gritted her teeth, and if you missed a moment, you could still see her knuckles turning slightly white as she habitually gripped the whip.

"Seventh Aunt, don't worry, we have the tribe's soldiers here, and the people in the village are guarding here, so no one dares to attack.

"If anyone wants to stain the Du family's land with blood, I will never let him get away with it!" Wen Shu said.

She knew that the Seventh Aunt was a person of strong character. She heard that if she saw anything unfair outside, she would intervene with her skills.

Du Qiniang heard that a group of uninvited guests had broken into the village from outside. They were rushing towards Dujia Village in a menacing manner. This was simply going too far!

If Wenshu hadn't been so attentive and vigilant, and hadn't taken precautions in advance, the consequences would have been disastrous!

If this group of vicious desperadoes suddenly rushed into the village, and the villagers were completely defenseless, what kind of disaster would it be? It was hard to imagine what kind of terrible disaster Dujia Village would face!

After hearing Wen Shu's words, she nodded slightly in agreement, but at the same time, her eyes flickered, as if she had some other thoughts in her mind.

After a moment, she slowly said, "Shu girl, in my opinion, these guys must not be let off so easily. We must not let them get away with it."

After speaking, he looked around, stood at a distance from the other villagers, and whispered into Wen Shu's ear, "You are from outside, from Luoyang.

You know the situation outside better than I do. A few years ago, there was a famine and the people outside couldn't survive without food.

They could survive for a while by eating tree roots and wild vegetables. They thought that after those years, people's lives would get better. But the Li family started a rebellion again.

That’s not all. Seeing that the capital is no longer under control, various people have taken the opportunity to cause chaos and have become even more restless recently…”

She is not an ordinary country woman, nor is she a housewife who is content with staying in the inner house. What has happened outside in recent years is not comparable to what has happened to her sixth uncle who is developing businesses all over the place.

Compared to her second uncle who has been staying in the clan and managing the clan members for many years, she knows more.

The more Wen Shu listened to her words, the more she slowed down her pace unconsciously, and opened her eyes to look at Du Qinnan thoughtfully.

She was speaking enthusiastically in the front, and when she felt Wen Shu fall behind, she turned around and asked, "Why, Shu girl, is there something wrong with what your seventh aunt said?"

——No, what could be wrong? The people in these villages don’t know, and who among those who have been outside the village has not heard the rumors——

Wen Shu nodded slightly and replied softly, "Seventh Aunt is absolutely right. Every word is absolutely true. I wonder if Seventh Aunt has any insightful opinions on this matter?"

Seventh Aunt's face was as gloomy as water, with a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes. She said slowly: "It's not a brilliant idea, but in my opinion, to prevent any more trouble, it's better to get rid of these people as soon as possible.

After all, we are not of the same race as them, as the saying goes, 'Those who are not of our race must have different hearts'.

This time, their operation failed, and they have become our prisoners. No matter what sweet words and tricks they use to save their lives, I think they should not be trusted.

You know, in today's world, only those who have gone to the underworld will not pose a threat to us!"

Her tone was as calm as if she was talking about trivial family matters, as if what were to be killed were not dozens of human lives, but dozens of insignificant chickens.

Wen Shuwen thought for a moment.

After a long while, she raised her head and slowly said, "This matter is of great importance, and it is difficult for me to make a decision alone.

After returning, we will need to gather the elders of the tribe to discuss and make a final decision."
