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

It was precisely because of the eldest sister's decisiveness that no disaster occurred.

I heard that although the King of Donghai won the battle against the Huns, the Jin Dynasty did not gain any benefits and suffered heavy casualties.

The only thing to be thankful for was that the Xiongnu Liu Yuan's troops were driven out.

Since Sima Yue entered Luoyang, he had absolute power in the court, and the court of the Western Jin Dynasty could only listen to his opinions.

But whatever was against him was cleared up before dark.

He killed dissidents and monopolized government affairs. Wherever there were people in Luoyang City, they could not escape his eyes and ears.

So, if you say they were lucky, they happened to catch the King of Donghai leading his subordinates back to the capital after winning the battle.

Unfortunately, it was a pyrrhic victory.

At this time, merchants who could trade in Luoyang City were either relying on powerful people or had access to information faster than others.

The leader of the caravan got the news from somewhere that a team led by the King of Donghai had wiped out a beggar army formed by refugees on their way back.

If you want to go out of the city at this time, there are carriages and mules.

In the eyes of the garrison stationed outside the city, this is not just throwing meat buns at dogs. They might leave the city gate in the morning and lie down in the harbor in the evening.

In order to preserve their strength, the caravan broke up into small groups on the spot.

Even if Wen Shu and her group reacted, it was too late to avoid attracting attention.

Even if you can be low-key, it is impossible not to attract attention.

The team entering the city from outside was getting closer.

Wen Jing gave an order, ordering everyone to get out of the car and kneel down.

Of course, the noisy Wenshu was not restrained.

There was a reason for Wenshu's wound on the back of her head.

……

"Brother, you've arrived home, and Father and Mother will know!"

Wen Shu was holding a cup of chrysanthemum tea, which was just in season at this time of year. After it was no longer hot, she put it into Wen Yao's hand.

"Brother, can you order some tea first?"

Wen Yao held the teacup in his hand. It was not hot and just the right amount for his taste.

It was a bit surprising to see such a big change in this once "silly sister".

"Fifth sister, this tea is really good!"

After saying this, he picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. He drank it a little hurriedly, and the tea rolled down his beard.

"Don't worry, Fifth Sister. I had already gone to inform Father and Mother when I came back. Big Brother heard that Fifth Sister is better, so he took some time to come and see her."

Thinking of what Xiao Fuer said when he entered the room, he was stuck in his mouth for a long time, "Fifth sister, from now on..."

Thinking about the current situation, looking at Xiao Fuer who is hiding in Wenshu.

He sighed deeply, but couldn't bring himself to say what was on his lips, especially when he saw Xiao Fu'er breaking off a piece of cake.

He couldn't bear it, nor did he want to bring the cruel side of the outside world back home, so he instructed:

"Pengpeng, I know you're better now. My family was worried about you because of your poor health. Now that you're better, they're relieved too."

"What do you mean by 'I'm fine, my family will be relieved'?"

Although Wenshu was slow to react, she knew that her elder brother's words were full of hidden meaning.

"Brother is outside, is something wrong?"

After Wen Yao finished speaking, he picked up the teapot on the table, filled it up, and drank another cup. He did this until there was no more water in the pot, then he stopped!

Wen Yao drank a few cups of tea and finally quenched his thirst.

"Fifth sister, where did you get this from..."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to go out.

"Even if the sky falls outside, we still have our father and brothers to support us."

"Alright, big brother, go wash up first. You can't go to see Father and Mother like this later..."

After saying that, he turned around and left Wenshu's yard and walked towards the front yard.

I was afraid that Wenshu would continue to ask questions.

"Xiao Fuer, are the cakes delicious?"

Wen Xian was still young, and the last thrilling trip was just a simple outing for her, no different from any previous trips.

Like her, she was completely unaware of the danger outside.'

"Fifth sister is delicious, you should eat it too"

After saying that, she tiptoed to put the pastry in her hand into Lai Fu's mouth.

"Xiao Fu'er, eat. How many pastries are there? Come and drink some water..."

At this time, new tea was added to the teapot on the table, and Wenshu poured a cup of new tea and placed it next to Xiaofuer.

Listening to the occasional noise coming from outside through the high wall, my thoughts are vague.

Although he stayed at home during the time he was awake, he still got some information about what was happening outside from the maids around him and Xiao Fuer, who was only concerned about eating.

The place where she stood was still China.

It’s just that the era she lives in is no longer the era after Qianxi.

Unfortunately, she fell in a pool of blood!

Died in the ruts...

Even more unfortunate is that she lives in an era where even dying with dignity is a luxury.

After the fall of Luoyang in the Western Jin Dynasty and the capture of the emperor, a chaotic era lasted for more than two hundred years.

In this era where people are worse than dogs and their lives are as cheap as grass.

This is also the reason why her father and mother kept her in the house and she was able to stay there quietly for such a long time.

She needed to take it slow for what was going to happen next.

I also have to find a way to convince my family to leave here first.

Leaving Luoyang, which is about to become the hunting ground of the Xiongnu...

Now, there are not only the troops stationed outside Luoyang City by the King of Donghai, but countless people are secretly watching Luoyang City. If there is any disturbance, the cavalry may be at the city wall in the next moment.

On that day, Wenshu did not wait for her elder sister and her group to arrive home, nor did she wait for other sisters to come and share their experiences at the poetry reading with her.

From the day Wen Yao came back, his mother sent Xiao Fuer and Xiao Lao Ba to Wen Shu that night.

Little Seventh and Little Eighth stayed in the room next to hers.

Wen Fu sought the position of "city magistrate" in Luoyang, and the Wen family specially raised money to buy a three-courtyard house in Luoyang.

Although the Wen family is not as good as the aristocratic families in Luoyang, they are definitely better than the worst.

Although the family's roots are not strong enough, it is not because the Wen family is rich. After so many years, one of their sons has finally got an official position in Luoyang City, although it is a minor one.

But he is an official after all. The Wen family represents the face of the Wen family. The Wen family is not short of money, and they cannot let their promising sons live in poverty outside.

Moreover, Wen Fu is not an ordinary descendant of the Wen family. He is a genuine direct descendant and the grandson of the current Wen family.

This is also why a small mayor is able to support his troops in Luoyang City.

With Xiao Lao Qi, Xiao Lao Ba and the other two as companions, the days of being trapped in the house are not boring at all.

I just see that my father and elder brother have less time to spend together, and now they even eat in their own little yard.

In addition to taking Aunt Wan to inspect the household every day, Mother also spent most of her time out. Wenshu wanted to ask Tang several times, but was always brushed off.

"Pengpeng, you sisters don't have to worry about what's going on outside. Father and Mother will always find a way to protect you."

Last time, Wenshu got anxious and kept asking questions, but Wang Qingwu only said these.

"My Pengpeng finally recovered. She hasn't seen enough of the good and bad in this world. How could I bear to let you get involved? You shouldn't have to endure these..."

After that, Wang Qingwu never appeared in the east wing again, and Wen Fu and Wen Yao never saw him again.

However, I don’t know when it started, the meals at home changed quietly.

At first they ate multi-grain pancakes mixed with salt. At first, the seventh and eighth little ones couldn’t get used to it, but later they found that even if they threw a tantrum or went on a hunger strike, they couldn’t get used to the delicious food.

After all, he was young and couldn't stand the hunger, so he only persisted on the hunger strike for one meal. Before it was even night, the pancakes that were left on the table were eaten up.

Three days passed like this...

Wen Shu, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes, held her breath, and her gaze seemed to penetrate the door.
