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

As Wen Shu spoke, she went to the basin that had been prepared long ago and washed her face with water.

Just swing your hands in the air a few times and it's almost done.

He instructed Jueyu who was standing by, "Go tell the cooks to start preparing early and prepare food for two hundred more people today."

"Okay, girl."

When Jueyu saw Du Qinnan coming, he was so happy that he couldn't help but smile.

Although the girl didn't say anything these days, she was the only one who handled everything. She saw how hard the girl worked these days, and she couldn't even have time to eat when she was so busy.

Now, whenever she has time, she always asks the kitchen to prepare two more pancakes for her, so that the girl can fill her stomach when she is so busy that she forgets the time and doesn't have time to eat all day.

Thinking of this, he took out something made of tung leaves from his arms and peeled off the leaves to reveal two cakes lying inside.

"Girl, you only ate a few bites of food last night and then went off to work. You haven't had a chance yet. You exercised this morning and are hungry. Please eat this pancake first."

Wen Shu looked at Jue Yu with a warm heart and said jokingly, "With you here, I won't starve."

I took it without any pretense.

"Seventh Aunt must be hungry after traveling all night. Come and try our food."

As he said that, he handed over a pancake.

Du Qinniang looked at the pancakes that were baked until they were golden brown. The aroma of wheat aroused her appetite even before she took a bite.

"Oh, my little niece, the chef in your kitchen is really good at cooking. He has such great skills."

After saying that, he took a bite.

"It smells really good and tastes great..." Du Qinnan praised while eating.

"If Seventh Aunt likes it, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some next time," Wen Shu said as she broke the pancake in her hand in half and handed half to Jueyu.

"You should eat something to fill your stomach."

"Girl, please eat! Jueyu had a good meal yesterday. Besides, breakfast is only an hour away, and Jueyu is not hungry."

Jue Yu was originally prepared specially for the girl. She had long been fed up with seeing the girl go hungry.

Now the girl gave away another piece of cake. How could she be full with only half a cake?

"Okay, since I'm giving it to you, just take it. If you're hungry and don't have the strength to hold a knife, I'll be in danger." Wen Shu didn't say anything more and directly stuffed the pancake into Jueyu's hand.

He stepped forward and took Du Qiniang's hand, ready to go into the house. Before leaving, he turned around and told Jueyu, "You go and get busy first. Seventh Aunt brought so many people with you, you won't be idle today."

"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen and keep an eye on it." Jueyu didn't know how to win the argument, so he stopped insisting.

"Seventh Aunt, you must have had a hard time coming here. Let's go inside and rest for a while." Wen Shu took Du Qinniang into the house.

"Why is it so hard? It's just a journey. Compared to how hard you fight here, it's nothing..." After saying that, he went into the house.

When I saw that there was nothing in the house, there were a few straw mats on the top in the middle and a pile of straw in the corner.

There was not even a single piece of wooden furniture in the main hall where guests were received.

"Girl, your life here is too hard!" Du Qinniang was stunned by the scene in front of her as soon as she stepped through the door.

"This place is like this, just make do with it. Besides, I'm not here for pleasure. Having a place to sleep and handle business is already very good."

Wenshu didn't really feel that it was hard. The mountains here were high and the land was remote. The people who used to live here were robbers. They were a group of rough men and didn't care about these things.

"Where do you live..."

Wen Shu pointed to the back of the living room and said, "There is an annex where people can live."

As soon as she finished speaking, Du Qinniang could no longer be carried in.

Wen Shu followed closely behind and watched Du Qiliang look around the room. His expression improved when he saw a simple bed made of several pieces of wood against the wall.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay!

You are a girl after all, it would be too hard for you to sleep on the floor with those men!"

Although Du Qinniang said this, her eyes were full of heartache.

She is about the same age as Wen Shuniang, and has no children. After seeing Wen Shu return to her tribe, she single-handedly supports the huge Du family.

Although he looks so majestic, I wonder how much sadness and pressure he feels behind the scenes.

He said comforting words, "Seeing that I have a place to sleep, I feel relieved..."

As he said this, he patted Wenshu's shoulder.

“Seventh Aunt, being out here, how could she not suffer some hardships? The brothers out there have suffered much more than I do.

This is nothing to me." Thinking of what Aunt Seventh said just now, Wenshu thought that Aunt Seventh was worried about the poor food and accommodation here. "Don't worry, Aunt Seventh, I won't let you suffer any grievances when you come here. You can eat and live with me.

But you also know that I came out with a mission this time,

When it comes to food and accommodation, Seventh Aunt might have to suffer.

If you are not used to it, I can arrange another room for you, but most of the people here are men..."

Du Qiniang knew that the girl was overthinking when she heard half of it, so she interrupted and said, "What are you thinking about? Your Seventh Aunt is already middle-aged and has seen everything.

There's no need to go through so much trouble. If I were to live with you, I'd be so happy. But don't think I'm a bother when the time comes!"

"Of course, I won't be lonely now that Seventh Auntie is here to keep me company.

Oh, right, Aunt Seven has been traveling all night without any rest, so you can rest here first."

Wen Shu said this and pushed Du Qinnan to the bedside.

"What should I do with those people I brought outside..." Du Qinniang did not forget her main responsibility, which was to ask Wen Shu to reply.

"I'm here, so don't worry if you bring anyone outside, I'll take care of them.

Aunt Seven, you have been traveling all night. Take a nap here and rest for a while. I will call you when the time comes."

Wen Shu advised...

"Okay, then I won't be polite. After I settle the people you sent back, I won't delay for a moment and will send some good people here overnight.

I thought we could get here early so we could help when we encircle and suppress this village, but I didn't expect you to be so efficient. I only found out when I ran into one of your patrolmen outside.

You are so neat and tidy..."

"If we don't take our time, things will get worse. If we don't take action in advance, they will turn around and stab us with knives!"

"That's right." Du Qinniang had also heard about the difficulties that Dujia Village had encountered before, and she had a clear idea about it.

Otherwise, as a person used to being at ease, she would not have returned to the camp so decisively to calm the situation.

After chatting for a few words, Wen Shuji walked out, closing the door behind her.

Jueyu was already waiting outside the door, "Let's go, let's go take a look..."
