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

"Master, please come in..."

Blacksmith Zhang led the way in front. He picked up a torch beside him, lit it at the sound of the oil lamp, and led the way in front.

After the torch was lit, the cave instantly became bright.

The things piled up in the cave can be seen from a distance. After walking a few steps, you will find that there is another world inside.

Zhang Tiejiang held the torch in his hand and looked at Wen Shu. Seeing that she didn't show any expression, he thought that his master didn't blame him for his poor performance.

.........

Half an hour later, Wen Shu came out of the cave.

Wen Shu's expression was cheerful. As she walked, she said, "This is just a base. We also need to make arrangements in Lujiang County..."

"Master, this batch is going to cost a lot of money!"

"Don't worry about the money. I'll send a team to accompany you on your journey south. Once you get to Lujiang, just follow the people I send south!"

Blacksmith Zhang was delighted. Since his master had other plans for him, he could take a shop. "Master, the shop at the foot of the mountain..."

Although the blacksmith shop looks small and inconspicuous, more information has been transmitted through that shop during this period.

Wen Shu thought in her heart, and then she realized that Zhang Tie was leaving, and this side needed someone to hold the fort.

Thinking of that 'old scoundrel' I saw earlier... "

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she heard a noisy sound in front of her. Wen Shu followed the sound and saw that it was the old man who was lecturing a few people.

The thought that just popped into my head was instantly extinguished.

After thinking for a moment, he turned to Zhang the blacksmith and said soothingly, "Don't worry, I'll have someone go to the blacksmith shop tomorrow to take over..."

"Okay, Master, I'll go to the shop and wait for you tomorrow morning."

Wen Shu nodded. The sooner they went south, the better. There was no time to delay.

"But I believe I don't need to explain the importance of this place. Find a reliable person to take charge here, and there won't be any mistakes!"

"Master, don't worry about this. I'll let my father take care of it. Although my father is injured, the people here trust him and dare not have any other bad thoughts."

When Wen Shu heard about his father, she felt a little worried. After all, he was not young anymore, and she was worried that something might go wrong.

"My old man has been recuperating for half a year and is no longer the same as he was when we first met. When the girl saw us, she was worried that he had been ambushed while protecting us and had no food. Now he is full of energy and likes to find a few boys in our village to teach his disciples when he has nothing to do..."

"In that case, just be aware of it."

As for betrayal, Wen Shu was not worried about it. After all, her father was the only son of Zhang the blacksmith. Now that he was working under her, it was impossible for him to have any bad intentions.

What's more, Zhang the blacksmith brought the people here and screened them several times along the way.

Thinking of the food piled in the cave just now, he shook his head.

'Not enough, not enough right now'

After thinking for a while, he spoke again, "When you go to Jiangnan this time, if you see that the price of food is right, you can start preparing to buy some."

"You don't have to move far. Someone will contact you when the time comes. You can be the comprador and hand over the purchased food to him..."

When Zhang the blacksmith heard this, he felt relieved. If he really wanted to find her a place to stay, he really had no way to do it.

Besides, what kind of place is Jiangnan? It is not a place where he can show his skills. I heard that it is very lively there now.

"By the way, when you buy it, you must keep a low profile and not attract other people's attention, let alone disrupt the local grain market. If anyone finds out that you are raising grain prices and disrupting the market, you must stop immediately."

Although Zhang the blacksmith didn't understand why his master was not afraid of trouble and had these concerns.

From a businessman's point of view, wouldn't it be better to achieve the goal in one step in a short period of time?

However, since his master had made the decision, he couldn't say too much and just had to follow the instructions.

Seeing that it was still early, Zhang the blacksmith wanted to invite Wenshu to the top of the mountain to see the surrounding situation.

But it was declined.

"I already know the surrounding situation, and since you're in charge here, I have nothing to worry about.

It’s getting late. If it’s late, the mountain road will be difficult to walk on.”

The sun is now setting, and it will take quite a while to cross the river and return to the mountain.

Blacksmith Zhang looked up and suddenly realized that time had passed so quickly.

……

Without stopping for long, he led the way and headed to another pier to cross the river.

.........

When Wenshu returned to the mountain, it was already Youshi. This time they went through the main gate and saw Shaoyao wandering in front of the gate from afar with an anxious look on her face.

As soon as she got off the horse, the gatekeeper came up to lead the horse, and Wen Shu handed the reins to the servant.

Shaoyao had seen her daughter arrive home a long time ago, and ran up to her, saying anxiously, "Daughter, you are finally home. If you don't come home soon, the old lady will send someone to close the mountain."

"But what happened..."

Wen Shu, who was about to go to her own yard, stopped, turned and walked towards the old lady's yard.

She did not hide her going out this time from her grandmother and asked for permission in advance. It should not have been allowed.

She had originally planned to go back to the yard to wash up and then visit her grandmother to reassure her. However, seeing Shaoyao looking so anxious, she had no time to think about going back to wash up.

Nearing the fork in her grandmother's yard and her own, Wen Shu turned to look at Jue Yu and instructed, "Go back and prepare first. Let Shaoyao accompany me..."

After receiving the order, Jueyu said goodbye to Wenshu without hesitation.

The two separated.

Jueyu walked away, and Wenshu took Shaoyao to her grandmother's yard. She could clearly feel the difference from the past along the way.

Not to mention that it was not completely dark yet, and lights were on in every corner of the house.

In addition to this, there are many more servants with unfamiliar faces in this yard.

While walking, he asked her what happened on the mountain today after she left.

Shaoyao seemed to have been shocked by something. She answered whatever was asked of her. Although her words were disorganized, she managed to make sense of them.

——It turned out that her second uncle brought her second aunt home today——

——It turned out that after her second aunt returned home, her father had lost contact, and it was her second aunt who should have returned home to take charge of the family——

——It turned out that Second Uncle hurried home, and just because he was home, he made such a big scene. He just met with First Aunt, and they started to fight for the power of the family.

"This isn't right. Considering how wealthy my second uncle's family is, this shouldn't be the case."

Wenshu suppressed her confusion and heard laughter and noise coming from her grandmother's yard from afar.
