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

"Don't worry, clan leader. I will do my best to assist Master Ming."

When Da Jin heard this, he finally let go of his worries. He knew that he had escaped this disaster, so he quickly agreed.

Seeing that everything was almost settled, Wen Shu looked at Du Ming and said, "Brother Ming, go down and get familiar with the place first. It just so happens that Da Jin is here, so it's better to be lucky than to rush.

Dajin happens to be here."

After saying that, he looked at Da Jin and said, "I remember there is a yard next to Second Uncle, but!"

Da Jin: "Chief, there is a yard next to the Second Elder, but it is vacant. It will take some time to take care of it if you want to move in."

Du Ming refused, saying, "I'm a grown man, why do I need to be so meticulous? No need, no need. I'm always out and about, so I'm not one for being particular."

He didn't want to cause trouble for Wenshu. Wenshu didn't look like someone who could stay here for long.

Before this, my second uncle didn't come here every two or three days. When he remembered, he would come here to check the accounts, or someone here would run errands and go directly to the clan to report.

"Chief, don't bother. Just find a few people to help me clean it up. I'll just have a place to sleep and work."

However, he didn't know that Wenshu's future arrangements for him were not as simple as just managing this small village.

But you have to eat this meal one bite at a time, and do this thing one step at a time.

The fish in the trap will bite the bait bite by bite. Once it is hooked, there is no reason to take the bait down.

Stability is of utmost importance, so let’s keep him here for now.

Wen Shu nodded and said to Da Jin, "Just follow Master Du Ming's words. Master Ming is easy to talk to, but don't fool him."

"Don't worry, Chief. I will take care of it."

"Okay, okay, you guys go and get busy first." Wen Shu sent Du Ming and others away, and before leaving, she also sent two secret guards from the tribe to Du Ming.

Watching the people walk away, Wen Shu turned around and looked at Du Qiniang. "Seventh Aunt, is it convenient for you to take us to the mountains behind to have a look?"

"Now?" Du Qinniang was a little uncertain, mainly because she had never returned here since she got married.

After so many years, I don’t know if there have been any big changes.

"Yes, Aunt Seven is now!"

"Okay, after all these years, I don't know if it's still the same road." Du Qinniang looked outside and saw that it was still early in the morning. After the incident with Kang Wu, she didn't know what the guys in the back mountain would think.

This is good, as they can check to see if this group of people have been slacking off over the years.

Du Qinniang was also straightforward. After Wenshu gave the order, she left a few people waiting in the yard, and took Wenshu and Xuanyi and others out through the back door. There was a mountain outside the door.

There are no shrubs on the nearby mountains, and they are covered with low pine forests. I heard that this was specially arranged by the person in charge of the Du family when they first settled here.

The woods feel soft and light underfoot, and squirrels can be heard running through the woods from time to time.

After they passed by, they left a trail of broken traces behind them.

"Seventh aunt, I remember my second uncle said that it's not difficult to walk to the back mountain..." The further we walked, the denser the pine trees in front became. If we went further, we should reach the end.

Just when she thought that Seventh Aunt was going to bring people up the hillside.

But she suddenly changed her route and climbed up the hillside onto a tree trunk as thick as her thigh. Using the strength of her arms, she flipped into the air.

Below was the direction to continue down the mountain. If her memory served her correctly, she would just need to continue down the mountain and turn over the slope to reach her destination.

"Girl, come here and stretch out your hand," Du Qinnan's voice came from above. She stood firmly on the tree trunk and stretched out her hand to pull Wenshu.

Although this girl acts like a clan leader in front of others, she is just a little girl in her heart.

She had no children, and seeing Wen Shu's unnatural desire for close relatives.

Wenshu wanted to refuse at first, but when she looked up, she saw the rare tenderness in Seventh Aunt's eyes. She didn't know why, but she stretched out her hand.

Before I could react, I felt my wrist being grabbed by a rough hand with thick calluses on the palm and pulled upwards.

Wenshu took advantage of the situation and pushed off the pine tree trunk, climbing up easily.

After they stood firm, they realized that where they were standing was just a small platform. They had to continue climbing up, and the trees became sparser as they went further up.

The people led by Xuan Yi behind him jumped up easily and waited for everyone to arrive.

Only then did Du Qiniang continue to lead the way...

The further you walk, the higher the terrain becomes, the flatter the road becomes, and the better the view becomes.

"Seventh Aunt, where are we now?" Wen Shu stood in an open space. They were not on the mountain, nor at the foot of the mountain.

It seems like they are just getting on the right track now.

Looking back, there is a canal dug by humans in the middle of the mountain. There is spring water on the mountain, flowing down along the canal which is less than two feet wide.

The canal arrived behind them, cut in half, and opened another path through the middle of the mountain to divert the spring water away.

Du Qiniang was a little proud. She put her hands on her hips and pointed at the canal that ran halfway up the mountain behind her. "Do you see this canal?"

She was neither blind nor deaf, so it was hard for her not to notice the sound of such loud water.

Wen Shu nodded and said, "Could this be the spring water they drink?"

"Well, it will take less than a quarter of an hour for us to get there by following this canal." I discovered this shortcut when the canal was first built.

However, I found out why she didn't say it. After all, it's not something worth showing off.

"It'll only be a quarter of an hour away."

Hearing this, it would be a lie to say that they were not surprised. If they followed the original route, it would take them at least an hour to get there. Even if they did get there, they might be discovered before they even arrived.

Wen Shu couldn't hold back, so she led the way ahead and walked straight into the canal. When she reached the corner, she suddenly stopped.

Du Qinnan behind her raised her eyebrows and saw Wen Shu making a gesture to silence them.

The people behind also saw it and stopped.

.........

"Hey, tell me, why is Captain Kang nowhere to be seen today?" One of them frowned and muttered in confusion.

The other man shrugged, spread his hands, and replied, "How would I know? Perhaps he was delayed by something important."

A curious person came over and said, "In my opinion, the head of Kangtun must have gone out to play in the mountains again yesterday.

Perhaps, he is so dazzled by the colorful world outside that he doesn't want to leave!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, a burst of laughter suddenly broke out around him.

"Sh ...

He looked panicked and warned in a low voice, "Keep your voices down! Don't shout so loudly. If that village chief Kang hears us, we'll punish you. We'll be in big trouble!"

Upon hearing this, they instantly quieted down as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on them, and looked at each other. After a while, only the sound of leaving footsteps could be heard.
