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

"Girl, I'm back—"

Wen Shu's hand trembled, and the tip of the pen began to paint on the paper.

With some regret, he picked up the waste paper and threw it into the wastebasket beside him.

I put the pen on the mountain pillow, and Peony came in hurriedly.

"Look, you're still so irritable."

"Hehe, it's all for the girl!"

Shaoyao was laughing, as if there was a girl holding up the sky if it fell.

Seeing that Wenshu was just talking to her briefly, she walked in a hurry and was already thirsty.

She looked around the table next to her and saw a set of tea sets on it. Without asking, she walked straight over and poured a cup from the pot.

Gulp, gurgle, after two cups of wine quenched his thirst, he stopped drinking.

"Did you have lunch?"

Wen Shu walked up to her at some point and asked.

"I have eaten, girl."

After saying this, he panted loudly and took off the bag on his back.

She remembered that when she left in the morning, she didn't carry this bag, but was carrying a cloth bag made by Baoju for her.

"Girl, this is for you. The man didn't say anything. Just let me give it to you!"

“This, this is an oil fruit.”

As soon as Wenshu took the bundle, Shaoyao took out a large bag wrapped in oilcloth from her cloth bag.

Before she took it out, Wenshu could smell the fragrance inside.

"You've been traveling all day, you must be tired. Go and have a rest first. Baoju made some mung bean and glutinous rice paste in the kitchen for you."

"real--"

Sure enough, Wenshu knew her greedy nature, and her eyes widened when she heard that there were delicious food left in the kitchen.

"I can't deceive you——"

"Yes, the girl specially cooked it and asked the kitchen to keep it for you, knowing that you like it."

Baoju had been waiting at the study door for some time, listening to what was said inside, and then she spoke up.

.........

Wenshu sent Shaoyao away, and then divided the oil fruits that Shaoyao brought back among Xiaofuer and the elders in other rooms, and shared the rest with the people in the yard.

Only then did he open the package and take out the contents.

I don't know what he saw, but when he was halfway through, he stood up and closed the study door.

.........

When the study door was opened again, the sun outside had already set and the moon was already high in the sky.

As the door opened, the smell of smoke in the room seemed to have found a breakthrough and ran straight out of the door.

Baoju, who had been waiting at the door, was shocked when she saw this scene.

"Girl"

His eyes were full of worry. He took a chance to look into the house and saw that there were no sparks in the house. The smoke was coming from the fumigation cage, and he felt relieved.

The girl looked unhappy and didn't know what had happened. However, she had been locked in the room for such a long time and had not even had dinner.

Baoju was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Seeing the girl come out, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked with concern, "Girl, can we set up the dinner now?"

"You guys go and rest first, just send two steamed buns over!"

Looking around, besides Baoju waiting outside the door, Jueyu and Shaoyao were also guarding her.

Because of the long journey, Shaoyao could no longer bear it and fell asleep on the table in the pavilion.

"Jueyu..."

The next moment, Jue Yu fell in front of him.

He glanced at Baoju standing there and said, "Go and eat in the study."

Then he said to Shaoyao, "Take Shaoyao down to rest first. You don't need to guard me here tonight."

"Come with me."

Jueyu didn't understand what was going on and followed her into the study.

Baoju happened to be holding a plate and said, "Girl, remember to eat. The old lady said that if you practice martial arts, you can't miss a meal-"

As she was about to leave, Wen Shu looked at the two bowls of rice and four buns on the table, frowned, and asked, "You haven't had dinner yet?"

“None…”

"When eating next time, if I'm busy, you don't have to wait for me, you can eat first."

She only has these two girls around her, and they put her first in everything. Even if that's the case, they probably won't take care of themselves first.

Hey--

"You guys go eat first, you don't need to wait here after you finish eating, go to bed early, I have something important to arrange for you tomorrow."

"But……"

Baoju glanced at the table and said, "Girl, I'll wait until you finish eating before going..."

How can this be--

Wen Shu immediately waved her hand and said without question, "You go first, come back tomorrow morning to clean up. Jue Yu and I will discuss important matters."

Hearing this, Baoju knew that the girl was dealing with important matters and it was not appropriate for her to be here, so she gave up.

He turned around and went back to the pavilion, took Shaoyao with him, got some food and went back to sleep.

“Let’s eat together.”

He pushed the steamed buns on the table to the middle and called Jueyu to eat with him.

She didn't hesitate, picked up a steamed bun, took a bowl of porridge, mixed them together and started eating.

"Jueyu, are you familiar with Anhan City?"

"Been there"

'Been there', just been there, there's no one more suitable here than her.

"I want you to go to Anhan and run an errand for me."

Hearing Wenshu's instructions, Jueyu paused while chewing the steamed bun. He hesitated and looked at Wenshu and said, "But, the eldest master said that he must not leave you and must always protect you."

"I don't go out, and no one dares to mess around in this house. Besides, you know that I am no longer the same person you saw before."

Seeing that she was still hesitant, he said, "Besides, I'll be back soon, it won't take up much time!"

She knew that Jueyu was a stubborn child and it was difficult to convince him.

But in this matter, there is no better choice than Jue Yu.

She had sent away all the other useful people around her. She wanted to eliminate all threats for Xu Laoliu before he could leave Anhan, even if they were potential threats.

Now, the only person who is trustworthy and capable of doing this is Jue Yu.

……

Jueyu was a little conflicted. The eldest master had told her to protect the girl's safety, and that the girl would be her master from now on, and that she would be the priority in everything.

So should she listen to the eldest son and protect the girl, or listen to the girl?

I was a little confused for a while.

Wen Shu didn't know what was going on in her heart, she only knew that the girl was stubborn. After a moment's hesitation, she changed her words and said, "But if we don't handle it well, it will endanger our safety."

really

"Girl, when are we leaving?"
