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

Well, Shu'er, you are finally back. Now you can rest assured.

If you have any problems, you can come to me, your seventh aunt, anytime.

From now on, this will be your home, so please don't be shy with us.

The corners of Wang Qinnan's mouth rose slightly, and when she looked at Wen Shu, her eyes of kindness became more and more obvious.

It can be seen that the call of "Seventh Aunt" really touched her heart.

"Yes, Seventh Aunt." Wen Shu responded softly. She looked at this "Seventh Aunt" carefully. She was dressed in a dashing outfit. The way she waved the whip just now was really majestic. Just that one whip scared the villagers who were watching the excitement nearby and made them retreat.

"Qiniang, when did you return to the village? And have you dealt with all your affairs properly?"

The clan elder was very troubled by his niece. If he had not been there just now, if the gossipy woman had said a few more words, the whip might have fallen on her.

Hearing the question, Wang Qiniang's expression immediately changed, and she walked up to him and said, "Second uncle, you don't know how I work.

If things are not done, I can still come back now!"

After saying that, he moved closer to the elder and whispered in a voice that both of them could hear, "This person is indeed Aunt Susu's descendant.

Is Aunt Susu really not going home...?"

A face full of gossip and eyes eager for the truth.

The elder of the tribe threw a sharp glance at her, snorted softly, ignored her, put his hands behind his back, quickened his pace, and walked towards the village.

"Alas, my second uncle still has the same temper after all these years.

If you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it. Don’t make yourself angry.”

After saying that, he followed behind, his eyes scanning behind Wen Shu.

“Although your surname is Wen now, when you return to our village, your surname will be Du.

No matter what your status is outside, your return means you recognize the Du family, not to mention that you still have the things your grandmother gave you!"

"Alright, I'll take you back and get some rest. I've been sending people to monitor the river. We saw the water suddenly rise in the early morning. I thought you'd be a few days late..."

Wen Shu couldn't wait any longer. The situation outside was changing rapidly. The later she was, the more disadvantageous it would be for her.

If things don't go well here, she can make other arrangements in advance.

"Brother Ming said that the river upstream has swelled due to the rain, but since the water is not turbid, once the water recedes, there will be no problem with passage."

Wenshu explained.

"Well, Ming that kid walks on water all year round, you're not wrong to listen to him..."

Following my uncle, there were rice fields on both sides of the road. It was not yet the harvest season, but the season when rice ears were blooming.

Some of the villagers in the rice fields were walking around with bamboo poles in their hands. Further away were the hillsides and dry lands, which were planned into different patterns and where crops were being grown.

When we met a clan member on the road, he would stop what he was doing, no matter how big or small, to greet him.

It can be seen that this uncle has extraordinary prestige among the elders of this clan.

"It's just ahead, I'll get there when I get there"

Wenshu looked up and saw a house standing at the end of the road, less than half a mile away.

From the appearance of the house, you can tell that it has a history of more than several hundred years. The exterior is brown because it was painted with tung oil, and the color looks a little black because it has been there for so long.

The most conspicuous house in the middle is the tallest, and the houses on both sides are slightly shorter.

In the middle of the area surrounded by houses is a large open space, which is paved with blue stone slabs all the way to the base of the wall.

The so-called wall is similar to the wall on Wenjia Mountain. They are both built with stones using local materials. However, they are not that complicated and simply separate the area from the outside world.

A door for entry and exit was left in the wall facing the main gate of the middle house.

There was a group of people gathered on both sides of the door. When they saw the elder coming back, they hurried to greet him.

"Did you receive it?"

"Uncle, the person behind you is the young patriarch, right?"

A middle-aged man who was no more than thirty years old was the first to speak.

"Xuan Ming, what are you doing with so many people? Don't they have anything to do...?"

As the elder of the tribe, Du Suan frowned and looked at the elders and children of the tribe who were standing on tiptoe.

"Hey, uncle, please don't blame them. Did they hear that the descendants of Young Master Su Shui have returned?

This is not a happy event for the clan.

This has been a top priority for decades, they just want to take a look, there is no other intention."

After saying this, the man called "Xuanming" by his great uncle walked around the elders and came in front of Wenshu.

"My dear niece, you must have had a hard time along the way.

Don't worry, we're home."

Wen Shu didn't know how to address him or how to open her mouth for a moment.

"This is the grandson of your grandmother's eldest brother. He is also your cousin. You can just call him Big Brother."

Seeing this, my uncle immediately came to the rescue.

"Yes, I am your eldest brother. My grandfather and your grandmother are brothers from the same generation. You can just call me eldest brother."

"We are all family, you're welcome, you're welcome"

Wen Shu followed the good advice and said, "Brother, I am your younger sister Wen Shu."

"Hey, hey..."

When Du Xuanming heard the call of "big brother", the corners of his mouth were so happy that they reached the back of his head. It was not his fault. There was not a single girl in their generation living in the village.

This is really rare.

"Okay, what are you all doing standing at the door? Come inside!

Is the girl's room ready? Is the food prepared? Is there any hot water?"

The elders of the clan saw that Xuanming had no tact, so they blocked the door and asked him.

"Oh, look at me, I'm so happy that I forget about the important things.

Let’s go back to the house first, let’s go back to the house first…”

After saying that, he led the way and went into the house.

"Elder..."

"grandfather…"

As soon as I entered the door, a few people came to greet me in front of the house in the middle. They didn't look like servants, but more like younger generations of the Du family.

"Aren't you all studying and working? What are you all waiting for here? Didn't I just let you all go?"

"Grandpa, we don't have anything to do anyway. We're free anyway, so we might as well go and see the returning guest!"

A man wearing a hat and clothes that looked expensive replied.

"This sister, is this the distinguished guest you mentioned?"

The man was still holding a fan in his hand and walked up to him while he was talking.

Wenshu nodded, she didn't know what to address him.

On the other hand, my uncle looked impatient with him, as if he was chasing away a fly. He glared at him and said, "You bastard, I don't know what you are thinking. Why don't you go and do your business?

If you really have nothing to do, go find your bastard father!"

Wenshu was at the back and was completely stunned by her uncle's sudden attack.
