Chapter 113 Wuyue Shusi
When Wen Wan hurried back to the courtyard, she found that the mute woman was cleaning her courtyard with a group of children.
When Shen Zhou and several children saw Wen Wan appear, they immediately put down their cleaning tools and surrounded her.
"Sister Xiaowan is finally back."
"Sister Xiaowan, we miss you so much. Why have you lost so much weight? Have you succeeded in losing weight?"
"Of course, sister Xiaowan has successfully lost weight and become more beautiful."
"Sister Xiaowan, you are back. Can you tell us a story later? After Sun Wukong defeated the Bone Demon three times, did he encounter other monsters?"
Several little puddings asked all kinds of questions, and complicated questions lingered in front of Wen Wan.
For some reason, at this moment, Wen Wan's nose felt sore and she felt like crying.
She hadn't cried yet, but Shen Zhou, the most sensible person, stood aside and secretly wiped away her tears.
He was older and knew about Wenwan on the first day he returned to the border town. Jinmu led him to take a look at the camp.
Wen Wan was still sleeping at that time, and the exhaustion was all written on her face and imprinted on Shen Zhou's heart.
So in the past two days, he came back to discuss with the mute woman, and came over to clean up the yard in advance while Wen Wan was asleep.
She answered the children's questions with a gentle smile. Seeing this, the mute woman in the distance also smiled.
Half an hour later, after the children had finished asking questions and listened to the stories, they finally left with satisfaction.
Shen Zhou poured a cup of hot tea for Wen Wan, "Sister Xiaowan, isn't Brother Achai back yet?"
Hearing this, Wen Wan's expression became slightly stiff, "Well, he still has military affairs, so he will be delayed for a while."
"Oh." Shen Zhou lowered his head in disappointment, but quickly adjusted his mood, "Brother Achai is so powerful, he will definitely complete the mission and come back safely."
Wen Wan nodded and raised her hand to touch Shen Zhou's head, "You have worked hard to take care of the mute grandma and younger brothers and sisters these days. You see, you are the one who deserves the most credit for staying. You took good care of them all."
Her compliment made Shen Zhou a little embarrassed, and he lowered his head and smiled.
"By the way, Brother Jinmu said that he will come over for dinner tonight, and I will help the mute woman and cook more dishes."
As Shen Zhou spoke, he pushed Wen Wan to sit down at the stone table, "Sister Xiaowan, you are responsible for resting. Brother Jinmu said that you will not be allowed to lift a finger for three days!"
Wen Wan: "..."
She is just weak and not terminally ill. Are you treating her like a useless person?

In the evening, Kaneki came to the door with cakes and sake.
He changed into a robe, only had a short knife on his waist, and his expression was not happy.
The table was filled with food, and the mute woman called the children to sit down.
Jinmu opened the pastries and distributed them to the children, and then poured wine for himself and Shen Zhou irritably.
Wen Wan saw something wrong with his expression, "Why, haven't you found the suspicious person yet?"
Jin Mu sighed and took a sip of wine, "No. Shanshui and I led the troops to search the city for several days, but there were no clues at all. People in border towns have to go in and out to do business, so blocking the city gates for a long time is not an option. . The military advisor also said that the city gate will be opened regardless of whether anyone is found."
After a pause, he asked doubtfully: "Miss Xiaowan, do you think... could it be that there is no such person at all?"
Wen Wan pondered for a moment and shook her head, "Unlikely."
Jin Mu said in embarrassment: "But Shanshui and I are really looking for them carefully. We have carefully interrogated anyone who is rich, powerful, or from the Imperial Capital."
Wen Wan listened and didn't say anything for a while. After thinking for a while, she asked a question. "Is there anyone who is not from the Imperial Capital, and who is not rich and powerful, but whose status is very extraordinary?"
Jin Mu thought about it carefully and said uncertainly: "There is such a person, but... he is not a suspicious person."
"How to say?"
Jin Mu replied: "Master Wuyue, he didn't come to the border town suddenly. He came to the border town before you set off to the Forgotten Valley. He is the boss of Wuyue Bookstore. Wuyue Bookshop is located all over the country. He visits the border town every year. I check accounts in various places, so every year at this time, I will stay in the border town for two months.”
Wen Wan: "Master Wuyue? Is he the master of calligraphy and painting, and the handsome man who once had two daughters from aristocratic families fight over one of his paintings?"
Jin Mu nodded, "Miss Xiaowan, have you heard of him too?"
Wen Wan responded, she had indeed heard it.
In the past, in the back house of the General's Mansion, what the little sisters talked about the most was what was happening in the Imperial Capital. At that time, two daughters of aristocratic families were fighting over a man. This was big news in the Imperial Capital.
She just listened to it.
Thinking of this, Wen Wan whispered: "Since we really can't find anyone in the city, forget it. But..."
Jin Mu was startled and then heard her add something.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"But you let people follow Mr. Wuyue, and people secretly surrounded Wuyue Bookshop."
Jin Mu was surprised, "Are you suspicious of Master Wuyue?"
Wen Wan did not admit it clearly, "There is a saying that when all impossibilities are eliminated, then the remaining one, even if it is impossible, may be the final truth. Since we have no clue, let's just try to kill ourselves blindly. Mouse, just follow your feelings.”
Kaneki: "..."
Try your luck?
Such a casual decision?
If anyone else said this, Jin Mu would have to argue with him, but the person who said this was Wen Wan, the female Zhuge in their minds.
Jinmu gritted his teeth, slapped his thigh and growled: "Okay! Never mind him, I, Jinmu, believe in you!"
Everyone else at the table was startled by him and looked over.
Wen Wan coughed awkwardly twice and waved her hands, "Okay, I know your determination. Eat, eat!"
Jin Mu smiled innocently, and then his heavy expression slowly faded away.

After that day, Jinmu indeed sent someone to secretly follow the people from Wuyue Bookstore.
The gates of the border town were also reopened, and the peaceful life of the past seemed to have returned.
As the days pass by, spring is about to pass, and the buds on the branches gradually bloom, turning into lush branches and leaves that cover the sky and the sun.
After the survivors of the caravan made arrangements for their families, they also moved into the gentle courtyard.
Wen Wan paid for a department store in the city. Several children in the caravan were sent to school during the day. Several women followed Wen Wan to the shop to do business. In the evening, they went to the school to pick up the children and then returned. .
The two old men prepared meals at home and waited for them to go home.
The days are back on track.
Except in the dead of night, Wen Wan is always awakened by nightmares.
In the dream, Shen Yu was dressed in blood, holding a long sword in his hand and constantly resisting the enemy, but his two fists were unable to defeat the four hands, and he fell into a pool of blood at the end every time.
Although the scene is different every time, his ending of not being in peace has never changed.
