Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

The voice sounded strange, and Lin Yinan couldn't remember which one it was.

Unable to sleep, she simply sat up and grabbed her messy hair.

"Qianwu, who's outside?"

Hearing Lin Yinan wake up, Qianwu hurriedly pushed the door open.

"Girl, you're awake."

"Who did I just hear you talking to?"

Qian Wu smiled, her eyebrows curved, "It's the second young lady of the Yun family."

It took Lin Yinan a long time to come back to his senses, and finally remembered who the second young lady of the Yun family was.

"Yun Ying, what does she want from me?"

Qian Wu helped her put on her clothes while saying, "I don't know. I asked her, but Second Miss Yun always kept her head down and didn't say anything."

Lin Yinan took the clothes from her hand.

"Let me do it. You go and ask her to come in. She should not get frozen outside."

A moment later, Qianwu brought Yunying into the house.

Yun Ying secretly glanced at Lin Yinan, then lowered her head, not daring to look at her again.

The older brothers and sisters are very decisive in their work, but when it comes to the little girl, she seems a little timid, and she doesn't look like a child raised in a military family.

Lin Yinan tried to soften his tone, "Why did you come to see me?"

Yunying raised her head and lowered her head several times, which seemed to be difficult to express.

Lin Yinan put on her socks and prepared to go downstairs. She didn't have time to waste here with the little girl.

"If you don't tell me, I'll leave."

At this time, my stomach started to growl with hunger.

Yun Ying blushed even more when she heard this. She bit her lower lip hard and mustered up her courage to say, "Sister Lin, I, I want to learn martial arts from you."

"Oh, why do you want to learn martial arts?"

Lin Yinan asked her with great interest, she had two older brothers and sisters, so she didn't need to work so hard.

The handkerchief in Yunying's hand had already been twisted into a knot, and she looked at Lin Yinan with a firm gaze.

"I want to be as awesome as you!"

"Learning martial arts is very hard and tiring."

"I'm not afraid!"

The little girl was very determined, and Lin Yinan didn't know how to refuse her for a moment.

Such a delicate young lady from an official family would probably give up after two days of learning. It just so happened that the difficulty of my training had been reduced, and it would be quite boring to be alone.

She glanced at the clothes the little girl was wearing and hesitated to speak.

"Okay, then come and see me again at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow."

Yun Ying bowed deeply to her gratefully, "Thank you, Sister Lin."

After seeing Yunying off, Qianwu brought her some food, a bowl of not-too-thick porridge with minced meat in it, which tasted delicious but also had some mixed flour pancakes that scratched her throat.

Lin Yinan quickly rinsed her mouth, picked up the pancake and started eating it in big mouthfuls. With a good appetite, she felt that the mixed flour pancake was not that bad.

Halfway through the meal there was a knock on the door.

Qianwu opened the door and saw Liu Ji and his sister standing at the door. Perhaps because they had just come back from outside, Liu Yu's little face was red from the cold.

After welcoming the brother and sister into the house, Liu Ji stood in front of Lin Yinan and bowed deeply to her.

"Sister Lin, I want to give you the horse I got yesterday."

Lin Yinan tried hard to swallow the biscuit in his mouth, and drank some porridge to make the biscuit in his esophagus slide into his stomach faster.

She looked up at him in confusion, "What do you think?"

Liu Ji has an open mind and his eyes are clear, bright and determined.

"Sister Anan's family has helped my brother and I a lot. We can't afford to keep a horse alive right now, and we may not be able to protect it in the future. I didn't help much yesterday, so this horse was originally what Sister Anan deserved."

"Okay, I'll take it. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can tell me."

"I will."

After dinner, Lin Yinan found Lin Shuo, who was repairing the livestock shed in the yard, and told him about the situation. Lin Shuo kept praising Liu Ji for being a smart and intelligent person.

Lin Yinan deeply agrees with this.

"Oh no! There's an accident at the gate!" Lin Yisong rushed in from outside the yard, saw the two people, and shouted hurriedly.

Lin Shuo dropped the things in his hands and looked at his second son who was acting rashly with dissatisfaction, "Why are you so anxious?"

"Those people in the woods were kneeling outside the gate begging Master Yun to take them in." Lin Yisong said, panting.

Yunye is a brave and resourceful man. He would never let the county magistrate's men in. Thinking about this, Lin Yinan was no longer worried.

"What did Master Yun say?"

"Master Yun told the secret guards to do what they were supposed to do. Don't pay any attention to them."

"Those people must have seen you guys coming back last night and started making trouble again."

Lin Shuo said quietly, not even having the intention to go out and watch the fun.

The next day, Lin Yinan unexpectedly discovered that Yun Ying was wearing the same black clothes as her, and it seemed to be made according to her style.

In order to test her, Lin Yinan was very thoughtful and began to arrange a quarter-hour physical training class for her, followed by military boxing and archery practice.

Unfortunately, Yun Ying was too weak to pull Lin Yinan's bow.

Yunying was deeply fascinated by Lin Yinan's ability to hit the target with a single shot.

Lin Yinan originally thought that she would give up after one day, but Yun Ying came for three consecutive days despite the muscle pain all over her body.

On the fourth day, she also brought the bow and arrow that Yun Mo had found for her.

Seeing how serious she was, Lin Yinan decided not to slack off any more and began to teach her carefully.

……

At the same time, a team of hundreds of people was traveling through the snow-covered mountains and forests.

They were led by General Udahan, who came to look for his younger brother Udati, who had gone out hunting a few days ago.

"General, we found traces of General and his men ahead." The scout came on horseback to report.

Wudahan waved the whip in his hand and said, "Give the order, move forward at full speed."

The team walked with difficulty on the thigh-deep snow.

After walking for nearly an hour, suddenly, a wolf howl was heard in the silent forest.

"There are wolves!"

"The wolf is coming!"

The soldiers, who were tired and sleepy, suddenly became panicked.

Wudahan lashed a soldier hard with the whip in his hand, and he glanced at everyone with a sharp gaze.

"Why are you panicking? You're scared like this by just a few wolves!"

The soldiers were trained so hard that they dared not say a word. They knew that wolves were ferocious, but Wudahan was even more ferocious than wolves.

The team continued to move forward tremblingly until night fell. When everything was silent, they could feel an inexplicable chill rising from the soles of their feet.

A soldier inadvertently looked around and was so frightened that he opened his mouth and couldn't make a sound for a long time.

The forest was suddenly filled with wolves with green eyes.

"Light the torches!"

The soldiers drew their swords and lit their torches. The wolf was afraid of the fire and quickly turned away.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Wudahan ordered them to rest on the spot.

Not long after, the soldiers who went to tie firewood found some scraps of cloth belonging to their totem and some human bones under the cover of thin snow. The soldiers were so scared that they crawled back to report.

After hearing the soldier's report, Wudahan's face darkened. He unconsciously clenched the pieces of clothing with his hands and gritted his teeth, "Dig! Dig this whole place three feet deep!"

Looking at the human bones all over the ground, Wudahan stood in front of a skeleton with a tall frame and a piece of the skull missing, his eyes red with anger.

This was the body of his younger brother Udati, because under the body was a small wooden sword that their father had carved for them.

Before he had time to feel sad, he found that the wolf king had gathered hundreds of wolves and quietly surrounded them.
