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

"Our ancestors settled near Hongqu to escape the war."

"Hongqu...surrounded by mountains and forests, it's easy to defend and difficult to attack. Surrounded by fertile fields, it's a great place with high ground and dangerous terrain."

Wen Yao neither denied nor agreed.

He looked at Wen Shu who was walking in front with surprise. She straightened her back and rode her horse, following behind the guards to clear the way. She had the rare leisure time and did not miss the scenery surrounded by greenery.

He talked about the culture and economy of Hongqu.

The carriage swayed slowly and took several hours to travel.

Not only were there servants accompanying them on this journey, but all the family property they could carry was also included. Although they increased their speed, Qingyue was already there to greet them when they arrived at their destination.

"Brother, is this our destination...?"

He asked with a sympathetic look.

"Well, after going around this mountain, we'll be there..."

After going around the mountain, Wen Shu dismounted and looked up. Everywhere she looked was lush forest, and above that was the dark night sky.

Even the goddess Wangshu would get lost in this place.

"Brother, are you sure our family is here? This is our destination."

"You're already at my doorstep, how can I lie to you?"

Wen Yao tightened the reins in his hand, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and rode forward.

"Strategy, strategy..."

While riding a horse, he had not taken a few steps when his figure was hidden by the tall people.

You can even hear footsteps farther away.

Seeing this, Wen Shu stopped being pretentious and got on her horse to chase after him.

"Brother, why is it so cold here?"

The brother and sister rode their horses out of the mountain jungle. The road was much narrower and could only accommodate one carriage. Sometimes when they were unlucky, they had to get off the carriage and hold on to it carefully to pass through, so as not to fall off the cliff.

"It's cold, of course it is. This land of Bashu can't compare to other places. It's dangerous but rich in resources. Although Hongqu doesn't have the danger of Jianmen, it's also surrounded by mountains, which block out all the surrounding cold air. The mountains are surrounded by fertile land and good farmland."

"If there's any disturbance, we can retreat to the mountains. Even though the mountains here aren't high, they stretch out and surround us. This is where our tribe resides."

Wen Yao introduced the tribe's choice of site, the wisdom and foresight of their ancestors, and the sheltering of this branch that stayed in Bashu to take root.

Suddenly, Wen Shu didn't know what came first and asked, "Brother, is Anhan County next door?"

"You have a sharp mind."

"We are said to be under the jurisdiction of Hongqu, but more of it is under the jurisdiction of Anhan in Liangzhou. Forget it, you don't know it now. You will know it naturally after you return to your clan for a long time."

Qing Yue's shadow was bright in the dense forest. Since they started waiting at the mountain, Wen Yao ordered all the lights to be extinguished.

Wen Shu: "Brother, why can't we light the way into the mountains?"

Wen Yao: "This is the rule of the tribe. Not everything has a reason. You can ask the tribe members for the specific reason after you return to the tribe."

Wen Shu: "This mountain is high and dangerous, the road is narrow, and the cliffs are high. Why can't we wait until dawn to enter the mountain?"

Wen Yao: "We were lucky to get there on time. If we had arrived during the day, they might still be waiting for the right time to enter the mountains after dark."

=_=……

"Stop, where are you from?"

"Where do you come from, and where are you going?"

Suddenly, a man jumped out from the front of the team, blocked the front of the team, carried a shovel on his shoulder, and stood in the middle of the road.

They were obviously a little surprised by the sudden appearance of Wen Yao and his group.

The person blocking the road was an adult man in his thirties. His hair was tied up and covered with a blue scarf that was washed to a pale color. From his forehead to the back of his head, except for a fist-sized area of ​​hair visible on the top of his head, the rest of his head was wrapped tightly.

Judging from his belongings, he must be an early riser going out to work and they just happened to meet.

Metaphor——

Wen Yao, who was walking in front, obviously didn't expect to be discovered just as he was about to reach the village gate, and he almost scared his horse.

Listen to the unique Bashu accent with local characteristics.

Wen Yao was not at all panicked.

After calming the horse, he dismounted, threw the reins to the servant beside him, and walked forward and said.

My father, Wenfu, is now returning home with his family. Please forgive me for disturbing the villagers.

"What a flowery thing..."

The man who was blocking the road put down the farm tools on his shoulders and placed them on the ground as support for his hands.

At first, he acted as if he was defending against an external enemy, but after hearing Wen Fu's words, his eyes widened.

"May I have your name……?"

Although the man's hostility had decreased a lot, he was still worried and asked.

"I am Wen Fu's eldest son, Wen Yao."

"You are truly a descendant of Duke Wen's family."

Although he was asking, his steps had already loosened and he moved aside.

"Daniel..."

Liu Yun's voice came from behind.

Perhaps the team's pace slowed down, and Liu Yun, who was riding at the back of the team, rode forward.

From a distance, you can see a big bull blocking the middle of the continent.

Mr. Liu

Compared with the people in the Wen family, this big shot obviously knew Liu Yun. From the title, it seemed that he was quite familiar with Mr. Liu and respected him.

"Well, it's me"

"Daniu, you're out working so early."

"That's right. Spring plowing is coming soon. Spring rain is as precious as oil. If we don't seize the spring plowing season, we won't be able to catch up with the sun, and this year's harvest will be reduced again."

"Mr. Liu, I just said that I haven't seen Mr. Liu for a long time..."

After saying that, the big guy looked at the team behind Wen Yao, and felt a little embarrassed at Mo Yan, who seemed to be hesitant to speak to Liu Yun.

When Liu Yun saw it, he really didn't see it.

Then he introduced: "This time, Liu was entrusted by the clan leader to take the younger generation of the Wen family back to the clan. Don't worry!"

Daniu scratched his head and laughed, "Alas, I don't trust what others say, but I definitely believe what Mr. Liu says."

As Daniu spoke, he looked at Wen Yao and said apologetically, "Sir, don't blame me, don't blame me!"

Wen Yao quickly bowed and said, "No, it was us who were hurrying on our way after dark and disturbed you."

Wen Yao was a kindred spirit, and besides, he didn't know how long he would be living in the clan. If things got bad, this would still be their family's only safe haven. So, naturally, he wouldn't argue with this big guy.

When Daniu heard Wen Yao say this, he was very moved. He thought that this young man was not only handsome, but also humble and polite to others. It was obvious at first glance that he was a well-educated person.

"Hahaha, the young master is so generous. He is indeed a descendant of Duke Wen's family. He is indeed extraordinary..."

When the man heard Wen Yao speak so politely, he thought to himself that this young man with extraordinary appearance was so polite to him even though he was rude.

After saying this, he stopped working.

I saw him lift up the farm tools in his hands, and then easily carry them on his shoulders. Then he turned around and walked towards the mountain.

As they walked, he said, “Come on, I’ll lead the way for you.

You may not know this yet, but it has rained several times recently, and the road ahead will be difficult to travel on.

The village also took this opportunity to change the road leading up the mountain to the village.”
