Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

So far, Yao Shu and others do not know the woman's name, and perhaps women will never have names in the future.

Thinking of this, Yao Shu felt extremely melancholy.

The princess on the side looked dazed, wondering if she and Yao Shu were thinking about the same thing.

A day's journey made everyone extremely exhausted. They saw an inn ahead and wanted to rest for a while.

Due to what they had encountered before, they were cautious before entering the inn, fearing any accidents.

Li Chen took the lead to check out the place earlier and found that this place was a safe official post, so he immediately notified everyone to come together.

With rare smiles on their faces, everyone sat in the lobby on the first floor and prepared to have a delicious meal.

Suddenly, several people walked next to him, with scars on their faces and serious expressions.

This appearance inevitably attracted the attention of Yao Shu and others. They subconsciously turned their heads to look, but did not find anything unusual about these people.

In line with the principle of asking about the situation, Yao Shu handed over a bottle of wine and asked cautiously.

"Where did these brothers come from? Why are they all injured?"

These men are also heroic people, and they were not angry because Yao Shu asked them why.

One of them waved his hand helplessly: "Forget it, we came from the west of Taihang Mountain, and we suddenly encountered a group of robbers when we passed a corner. Not only did they take away all our things, but they also gave us We had a good fight.”

Yao Shu saw that these people were also strong and did not look like people who would suffer at all, so she subconsciously asked: "Didn't the elder brothers resist?"

Upon hearing this, one of them sighed angrily: "We were about to resist, but unexpectedly these people suddenly took out the Hun tokens. Seeing that they were from the Hun side, how could we dare to resist? Woolen cloth?"

When you encounter the Xiongnu, you can only suffer the loss of being dumb. This is the experience gained by those who run business.

Nothing is more important than life. Although they lost a batch of goods and were beaten for no reason, at least they were still alive.

The Xiongnu killed without blinking an eye, and were not bound by laws.

If they are really angered, they will kill people directly without any explanation.

Hearing this, Yao Shu subconsciously turned to look at her own people.

They didn't know what to say for a moment, and looked at each other with worry on their faces.

This journey was as difficult as seeking scriptures from the West, and we encountered so many things before we even took a few steps.

Although it is said that good things come hard, this trial is too much.

After Yao Shu thanked them, she gave them another glass of wine and returned to her seat.

Everyone fell into silence. After a long time, Yao Shu was the first to speak: "The journey to the Western Regions is already full of torture. We can't stop going just because there will be many difficulties ahead. So what we have to do now is to prepare in advance. , it would be nice to have a plan to deal with it if we really encounter the Huns."

She spoke in a very low voice, but she didn't expect to be heard by the elder brothers on the side.

Several elder brothers said in surprise: "Are you going to the Western Region?"

Yao Shu nodded. She didn't know whether to believe these elder brothers for a while. If their whereabouts are exposed and targeted by criminals, they will be in danger again.

The eldest brother who had just spoken to Yao Shu couldn't help but smile softly when he saw her hesitation at this moment: "Madam, don't worry, we don't mean any harm. We are also from the Western Regions, so we would like to remind you that the situation there is not the same. It’s not very good. If you are not well prepared and don’t have enough manpower, it’s better not to go there easily. Look at some of our strong brothers, aren’t they still being robbed?”

Shen Nanshan came to Yao Shu's side and smiled softly: "Brothers, we have no choice. We really can't stay in the Central Plains any longer and want to go to the Western Regions to join our relatives. Now listening to what the eldest brothers say, it seems that Isn’t the security in the Western Region very good?”

Shen Nanshan wanted to take the opportunity to inquire about the situation in the Western Region for Shen Fugui.

The eldest brother waved his hand, not knowing what to say.

He drank all the wine in the glass in front of him, and then said in a low voice: "Actually, it's not good. It can't be described in ordinary words. But since you insist on going, I really don't have a better way. Why don't you wait for a while? I heard that officials from the capital to the Western Regions will be on their way there soon. You might as well wait until he passes by and reorganize for a few days before heading there."

Hearing this, Yao Shu suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"How come all the elder brothers know about this kind of thing?" Yao Shu said in a low voice.

The eldest brother laughed loudly: "This matter is no longer a secret, everyone knows it."

"Do any of the elder brothers know the official's itinerary?" Yao Shu asked again.

"We don't know the specific itinerary, but if some interested people want to investigate, they can naturally find out. I heard that this official made a great contribution to the city next door a few days ago, and he must be a brave person. But not Knowing how many days this official can survive after going to the Western Regions all depends on his fate." After the elder brothers finished speaking, they started drinking.

If they continued to inquire, they might become suspicious, so Yao Shu and others immediately returned to their positions.

Seeing the worries on their faces, Shen Fugui comforted them softly: "It's okay, just take it one step at a time. We have gone through so many hardships along the way, haven't we all made it through?"

Shen Bei said coldly: "You have a good attitude, but we are the ones who are worried."

This aggrieved look made others around him laugh.

In the end, Shen Nanshan comforted him: "It doesn't matter, your elder brother will come to pick us up after we pass the Taihang Mountains."

"What this means is that we will see my eldest brother soon." Shen Jian'an couldn't help but feel happy.

One thing that is great about the Shen family is that they are extremely united. They are not like other families who are divided over the so-called family wealth.

This made Li Chen particularly envious. He lowered his head subconsciously, not knowing how to deal with it for a while.

He was unable to integrate into such a happy family scene and could only cover up his sadness by drinking.

Seeing him like this, Shen Fugui poured him a glass of wine: "Eldest brother is a brave and capable man. If the two of you meet, there will definitely be a lot of topics to talk about. If you don't mind, you can also call him with us. Brother."

"You don't want to ask who is older between them?"

Shen Bei also came to adjust the atmosphere.

In a few words, the atmosphere became joyful again. It seems that together, they can fight against all hardships.
