Chapter 7 General
Perhaps he lost the verbal battle to Wen Wan. Achai didn't say a word to Wen Wan during the rest of the journey.
Jin Muhua spent a lot of money to buy a carriage from the inn owner. Wen Wan sat in the carriage while Jin Mu drove the carriage for her.
Wen Wan opened the car curtain several times and looked out, but she only saw the back of Achai riding a horse at the front.
Under the sun, the man with a tall and straight figure looks almost perfect no matter how you look at it. Unfortunately, his personality is so bad that it becomes a flaw.
Wen Wan was bored and chatted with Kaneki, "Brother Kaneki, your captain has such a vicious mouth. Is it true that no one has ever beaten him when he gets along with his colleagues?"
"Hit him?"
Jin Mu twitched the corner of his mouth, "Whoever dares to beat him, he will beat others."
Wen Wan pretended to think for a while, then shook her head and sighed: "Yes, these days, people are afraid of being arrogant, and those who are arrogant are afraid of risking their lives. With your captain's temper, normal people should not conflict with him head-on."
Kaneki heard the implication of her words, which clearly meant that Achai had something wrong with his mind and was not a normal person.
Jin Mu shrank his neck angrily and lowered his voice to persuade:
"Miss Xiaowan, my master has good ears, he can hear what you say!"
Wen Wan looked calm, "If you hear it, you will hear it. Can he still kill me?"
Kaneki was about to say a few words to scare her, but he heard her express her opinion directly.
"Brother Jinmu, you don't have to scare me. I'm not stupid. Your captain keeps me here and you really treat me like a spy?"
Wen Wan curled her lips, "Don't you just keep me because I have value? I understand. So, as long as I am still useful, your captain will not attack me, are you right?" br>
Being exposed by her words, Kaneki was shocked and admired.
To be honest, this was the first time in his life that he met such a smart girl, especially when she spoke, her cunningness was very similar to that of their military advisor.
Achai, who was riding at the front, did hear the conversation between the two.
He didn't look back, but the depth in his eyes became much thicker.

The sunset at the border brings with it the vast scenery unique to the edge of the desert.
The majestic city tower is at the foot of the rolling mountains. Passers-by hurried forward, and they all squeezed into the city just before the city gate closed.
Unlike other people who were allowed to leave after being interrogated, Achai and his party entered the city without any interrogation.
The others went straight to the station. Acai took Jin Mu and a few other soldiers and "led" Wen Wan's carriage to a remote yard.
The courtyard with two entrances and two exits is not big, but it is well-equipped.
The person in charge is a gray-haired old woman. Achai calls her a mute woman. As her name suggests, she cannot speak.
Ah Chai did not dismount, but held the whip and pointed in the direction of Wen Wan, saying:
"I sent a few people to guard around the yard. She cannot be allowed out of the yard during this period. Except that she cannot go out of the yard, other than that, she can rely on her for any needs."
The mute woman nodded and made a few more sign language gestures.
Not sure what she said, Achai was stunned at first, and then his face turned abnormally red for a moment.
He looked at Wen Wan meaningfully, wondering what idea he had thought of, and the amusement flashed in his eyes.
Immediately, he responded with a sign language to the mute woman.
The mute woman was surprised and happy. She clapped her hands repeatedly, seeming to be happy for him.
Wen Wan didn't understand sign language, so she watched helplessly as the two people exchanged information that she didn't understand in front of her.
However, she had a hunch that with Ah Chai's peeing ability, he probably didn't hold back his fart well!
Jin Mu followed Achai, and the remaining four soldiers took the initiative to retreat outside the yard to guard.
Only the mute woman was left in the yard, and she smiled at Wen Wan in a friendly manner.
You can't reach out to hit a smiling person, let alone a disabled old woman. Even though Wen Wan was dissatisfied with Achai, it was not easy to vent her anger on such a kind-hearted old man.
The mute woman led Wen Wan to a side room and took out a brand new quilt and pillow from the cabinet.
The quilt is made of soft, high-quality silk, and the color is a festive red. There are pairs of joyful mandarin ducks embroidered on the top of the quilt.
"Mute woman, why does this look like a quilt?"
"I'm new to your house. Isn't it appropriate to use a quilt like this?"
"Mute woman, do you have a plainer quilt?"
She didn't know if the mute woman could understand, so she could only talk to herself, praying that the mute woman could hear her just because she couldn't speak.
Who knows that reality always develops in the cruelest direction.
The mute woman pointed to her ears, indicating that her hearing was not very good either and was sometimes good or bad.
Wen Wan made a sad face and tried to point to the mandarin duck pattern on the quilt, "This, it's not good, it's not suitable..."
The mute woman had a smile on her face, nodded to her repeatedly, and gave her a thumbs up.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Yes, chickens and ducks cannot communicate at all.
Zhou Cai, you are cruel!
Wen Wan gave up her struggle and could only comfort herself. It was just a quilt. When she pulled it over her body, it was just a tool to keep out the cold. It had no practical significance!
Apart from not being able to go out, Wen Wan actually adapted very well after living in this small courtyard.
The mute woman is a capable person, especially good at cooking. The food she cooks is a hundred times more delicious than that of the old cook in the General's Mansion.
The mute woman was kind and enthusiastic, and seemed to use all her strength to take good care of Wen Wan.
Every morning when Wenwan wakes up naturally, the mute woman will bring her a delicious breakfast.
After breakfast, the mute woman would take her to the back garden to eat.
It turns out that in addition to the mute woman, there are seven or eight children aged between five and eleven or twelve years old in this yard.
Children are at the age where they love to play and they don’t recognize children.
In addition, the mute woman didn't know how to explain it to them. These children did not reject Wen Wan who suddenly moved in, and they were very enthusiastic.
As soon as Wenwan appears, the children will gather around to play with her. When she gets tired of playing with the children, there are thousands of storybooks in the study room for her to pass on.
After a few days, Wen Wan seemed to have returned to the leisurely time of the General's Mansion.
Apart from not being able to leave this courtyard, Wen Wan couldn't find anything wrong with her on such a day.
*
Border town military camp.
After commanding the soldiers to practice the formation for a whole day on the school field, the man wearing a python robe and armor took back his sword and strode towards the camp.
He took off his helmet, revealing a strong and handsome face.
If Wen Wan were here, she would definitely recognize that the man wearing the general's armor was the little captain Achai who she said had a flawed character.
Zhou Cai was a name he chose at random. His real name was Shen Yu, and he was the only second son with a different surname in the Duan Dynasty, Wang Shenlian.
Jin Mu held up a kettle and handed it over. Shen Yu took it and pulled out the stopper. After drinking half the jug of water, Shen Yu seemed to remember something.
He paused and asked, "How has the girl reacted in the past few days?"
Kaneki's face was full of hesitation, as if he was considering his words, "General, do you want to listen to the truth?"
"Oh," Shen Yu's eyes darkened, "If you want to go to the school field to practice for another two hours, you can tell lies."
