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

Wenhua looked at the little girl in front of him and found that she was only about seven or eight years old.

The little girl was wearing a dress that had been patched many times, but even so, it still remained clean and tidy.

The little girl tilted her head and looked at Wenshu curiously.

Thinking of what Brother Xiaowu had said before, he couldn't help but ask, "Benefactor, will she join us and become a family in the future?" Although this was a question, Wenhua's tone was full of affirmation.

They barely make a living on this cliff.

It is because of the protection of their benefactor that they can live a stable life without being disturbed by the outside world.

Wenhua did not directly answer the little girl's question, but gently took her hand and walked towards the thatched yard in front.

No answer, just asked softly: "Where did Xiao Wu go..."

The little girl seemed to be welcoming a family member returning from a long journey. She held Wenhua's hand tightly and followed him into the yard, skipping and jumping.

The doubts I had just had were completely thrown away.

"He went to see Uncle Liu..."

"My benefactor, you haven't been here for a long time, and Uncle Liu just got home...

We haven't seen you for a long time, and these days are really boring."

Wenhua interrupted, "How many times have I told you, don't call me benefactor, just call me sister!"

"No, a benefactor is a benefactor, and Master also said that rules are rules..."

"Just say I said it."

The girl thought about it and stopped worrying about the name: "Yes, girl."

"You little girl..." Wenhua was helpless. He knew he couldn't beat her, so he had to give up.

After passing through the simple thatched hut, there is a flat area inside.

Wenhua stepped on it, and considering the surrounding environment, he said with certainty: "This is a rock..."

Wenhua didn't deny it. Instead, he pointed to the flattened rock wall in front of him and said, "Do you see the irregular cave in there?"

Following her guidance, Wen Shu noticed that there were a few lonely branches on the stone wall not far away, and they were blooming with life wantonly on the hilltop.

If you don't look carefully, it's hard to notice the existence of these branches, but under their shade, there is a hole carved out of the mountain wall.

"Is this a residence...?" Wen Shu asked in confusion.

"Well, don't underestimate this place. There is a different world inside!" The woman smiled mysteriously.

Before he could finish his words, they had already turned left and right and arrived at a yard.

The so-called yard was actually just a simple fence made of branches, with a thatched shed leaning against the stone wall.

Under the shed, it was decorated like a roadside teahouse on the way back to Luoyang, with a few tables and chairs in the middle and a stove for boiling water next to it.

A few steps further away, there is a stove specifically used for cooking.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard from the backyard. The voices arrived before anyone was seen. "Xiao Wuzi said that the girl has arrived, but I didn't believe it..." The person's words revealed surprise.

After a while, I saw that the person who was speaking was an old woman who looked to be over 50 years old. She had a gray-white scarf wrapped around her head, which looked a bit old.

She held a cane in her hand, which was covered with traces of time, as if telling the story of accompanying the old man over the years.

The old man's legs and feet seem to be not very convenient, and he needs to rely on crutches for support when walking.

At this time, Liu Yun was carefully supporting the old man and slowly walking towards them.

"Girl?" Liu Yun was supporting the old man and was about to bow when he saw Wenhua and Wenshu.

Wenhua saw this and quickly waved his hand to stop him: "Brother Liu, you can't do this!"

"Liu, big brother..."

Wenhua was about to call out the name, but suddenly became hesitant.

Her eyes moved back and forth between Liu Yun and the old man, trying to find some clues from their expressions and movements.

However, the two seemed to have long been accustomed to this way of getting along, and were not surprised or uncomfortable with Wenhua's reaction.

Wen Shu was secretly puzzled and didn't know what to address him.

The word "Uncle Liu" got stuck in her throat, making her feel very embarrassed.

She couldn't help but begin to doubt the relationship between the two.

Wen Shu looked at the scene in front of her.

Wenhua warmly invited the old woman to sit down and said, "Auntie, please sit down. I just came back and stopped by to see you."

After that, she took Wenshu and introduced her to the old man, "This is my sister, the daughter of my third uncle. I brought her here to introduce her to the family."

Liu Yun has had a stern face since he met them, and he didn't know if it was because of their unsolicited visit.

Wenshu was confused, thinking that Liu Yun was the teacher who taught the troops.

Logically speaking, Mr. Liu should be well taken care of by the Wen family.

Even if he brought his family with him, the Wen family would not be stingy.

"Auntie" Wenshu followed Wenhua and saluted the old man together.

"Miss, you are so polite... Please don't blame me. I am not in good health and I hope you can forgive me for the poor hospitality," the old man responded quickly.

"Auntie, you are too kind. I am sorry for disturbing you today," Wen Shu said quickly.

After the two of them politely pushed and shoved each other, the little girl who had greeted them just now suddenly appeared from nowhere and ran over panting.

"Master, girl, Xiaohu and the others are fighting..." The little girl was small and had short legs, but she ran very fast. Her face turned red from running so fast, her chest was heaving violently, and she was gasping for breath.

Of course, the girl's name is Wenhua.

"A fight broke out?" Wenhua, who hadn't even sat down yet, was shocked when he heard the news. His brows furrowed tightly, and his originally relaxed expression instantly became serious. He couldn't sit still any longer and asked anxiously, "What's going on..."

Before he could finish his words, Wenhua stood up impatiently and ran to the back of the thatched hut.

Seeing this, Liu Yun hurriedly followed.

"This..." Wen Shu was left there, at a loss as to what to do.

No one asked her to go over, and she felt a little embarrassed and uneasy, not knowing what to do.

"Girl, don't worry. Miss Wenhua is a good person, a kind-hearted Bodhisattva. If it weren't for her, these children would have starved to death or died of disease..." The old man saw Wenshu's worry and comforted her.

From the old man's intermittent words, she learned that this place seemed to be specially set up by Wenhua for the purpose of providing a shelter for homeless orphans.

These children have tragic life stories and unfortunate fates, and their experiences are heartbreaking.

The old woman herself was equally unfortunate. She lost her legs and feet in the war, and she was lucky to be able to keep her life.
