Upon Waking, Transmigrating to the Road of Exile

Apocalyptic female boss Song Wan dies once and transmigrates to the ancient road of exile.

In the original host's memories, her grandfather, father, and brothers successively died in batt...

Chapter 32: Become a Disciple

The original owner's two brothers had completely different personalities. One was careful and steady, while the other was lively and lively. However, both brothers eventually chose to abandon literature and take up martial arts, charging into battle.

Song Yu was only 24 years old when he was seriously injured and disappeared on the battlefield. In Song Wan's memory, this elder brother seemed to rarely take off his armor, and his gentle face was therefore stained with a murderous aura.

During the years when the original owner lived in the northwest, as long as there was no war at the border, she would follow her two brothers to race horses outside the border.

The original owner's horse riding skills were taught by Song Yu. Song Yu was very fond of this dull and quiet sister.

Strangely enough, after Song Wan traveled through time and received the original owner's memories, she discovered that the horse-riding habits that Song Yu taught the original owner were almost exactly the same as the horse-riding skills she had learned by self-study in the apocalypse.

Perhaps it was because she had so many similarities with the original owner that God allowed her to travel through time.

Song Wan was very satisfied and cherished this world. Although it had many shortcomings, there were no endless zombies to kill here, and she could grow food, so she didn't have to starve anymore.

It's a pity that her mental power cannot sense whether a person who is nowhere to be found is still alive, otherwise she could go directly and bring Song Yu and Song Qin back.

Let’s eat roasted rabbit today, Song Wan sighed. It’s tiring to sew so many small clothes. Fortunately, Gu Yan’s skill in roasting small fat rabbits is also quite good.

The potato sprouts in the field are growing well and soon have grown into a lush green patch. Although we can't see the potatoes underneath, just looking at the energetic leaves makes people happy.

Almost every day, Gou Wa's mother would drag Gou Wa to look at the fields three or four times. The other villagers would also watch, without any words of ridicule or jealousy.

Because Jiang Zhen said that as long as potatoes can be grown, it can be guaranteed that everyone will be able to grow potatoes and have enough food to eat in the future.

The villagers were timid and unwilling to be the first to take this step, but they were also looking forward to it. After all, they worked hard all their lives just to have three meals a day.

It was not hot in Guizhou even in spring. After half a month of bed rest, Gu Wen's injury was completely healed. Now he was training in the back mountain with Gu Wu, Song Qi and others.

After feeling the changes in their bodies, they no longer needed Song Wan's supervision. Several people would go to the back mountain before dawn every day and return after the sun set in the evening.

Jiang Zhen came once in the middle of the day and accidentally bumped into Song Qi and others when he went to the back mountain. The next day, he dragged all three sons over at home, saying that they wanted to take Song Wan as their teacher.

Song Wan suspected he had ulterior motives. "Big Beard, you can't possibly be unable to support him, so you want me to support him for you, right?"

Isn’t there a saying that goes, “A young boy will eat his father out of poverty.”

There are three people in the bearded man's family, no wonder they were so poor before.

Jiang Zhen's beard twitched. His eldest son was older than her, so he knew it was impossible without even thinking about it.

No, he didn't come here today to discuss who to give his son to, and he almost got led astray.

"Miss Song, scolding a few people isn't scolding. I promise these three won't cause any trouble, and they'll definitely be able to endure hardship!" Jiang Zhen pushed the three boys in front of Song Wan and pleaded, "As the saying goes, chasing a whole group is the same as chasing them, so a few more—oh no, three or two—are still chasing them, right?"

"Then you have to pay for the food!" Song Wan frowned. "I'm very poor and have a big family to support. If you don't pay for the food, you can't stay."

Jiang Zhen... who, who is poor? You are the richest person now!

In his lifetime, Jiang Zhen never thought that there would be a person who was much richer than himself crying poor in front of him.

"Ms. Song, have Gu Wen and Gu Wu paid for their meals?" They can't be the only family to pay, that's not fair.

Only when you manage a household do you know how expensive oil and salt are. Ever since he got those three carts of gold and silver, Jiang Zhen realized how hard his wife had worked to run the household. Just making sure the family had enough to eat was enough to worry about.

Originally, Jiang Zhen thought that with three carts of gold and silver, if he lived frugally, it would be enough to support the 50,000 soldiers outside for a year or even two years.

Who would have thought that half of the money was spent after just one winter. This thing is not durable at all.

"Why should Gu Wen and Gu Wu pay? They are my people anyway." It was because there were too many people to support that Song Wan always felt that the silver for those walls would not be enough.

"Aren't Gu Wen and Gu Wu the general's men?" To this day, Jiang Zhen still hasn't changed his tone, as he's used to it.

"yes."

"Then why don't they pay the money?"

"Because Gu Yanji is mine."

Gu Yanji had just walked to the door when she heard these words, and the corners of her mouth that were raised never lowered again.

Gu Lingfeng, who was standing aside, glanced at him with a complicated expression.

Song Wan looked at him and said, "Everyone knows it, except you."

Jiang Zhen...is it possible for him to know such a thing?

"Is the General willing too?" Jiang Zhen thought about it and asked unwillingly.

"I'm so capable and rich, why wouldn't he be willing?" Song Wan felt like he was deliberately looking for trouble.

Jiang Zhen's facial expression seemed to be crumbling. As a general, when facing the enemy, shouldn't he have the attitude of preferring death to unyielding? Why did the general do the complete opposite?

No, Miss Song is not an enemy, the two are different.

Jiang Zhen barely found a convincing reason for himself.

"Awan is right. Why would I be unwilling?" Gu Yan hurried over, her eyes fixed on Song Wan, her eyebrows and eyes smiling.

Song Wan felt that Gu Yanji, this personal assistant, was exactly what she wanted.

That’s right, this “personal assistant” was the identity that Gu Yan had urgently fought for after treating Gu Wen’s injury that day.

When Gu Yanji heard these four words at first, he didn't quite understand what they meant, but the word "private" was enough.

Jiang Zhen didn't know what to say anymore, so he simply continued with his business. Like a street vendor, he was promoting his sons. "Miss Song, my sons are really hardworking and can do any job!"

After saying this, he slapped his eldest son Jiang Da on the head in frustration, "I asked you to become my disciple! Why don't you even utter a word?"

Jiang replied...

Let him worship a person younger than himself as his teacher, at least he should be mentally prepared in advance.

Anyone would be confused if they just pulled him over like this.

Song Wan: "He's not a mouse, why is he squeaking?"

Jiang Da, who was about to say something, chose to remain silent.

"You can stay. The monthly food and accommodation expenses for each person are three taels of silver, and for three people that's ten taels." Song Wan took a bite of the wild fruit picked from the mountain and chewed it slowly.

Jiang Zhen's eyes widened in astonishment. "So expensive! And three taels per person, shouldn't three people be nine taels? How come there's an extra tael?"

Song Wan calculated inwardly, "Three taels is just for food and lodging, and the other one tael is for learning skills."

Jiang Zhen: "...Miss Song, we've known each other for so long, can't you give me a discount?"

Ten taels a month is enough for their family to eat for two months, and even if the monthly salary is given to maids and servants, it is enough to feed ten people.

"This is already my lowest price." Song Wan put on a stern face, making herself look difficult to talk to.

Come to think of it, why didn't she discover this way to get rich before? If she could recruit those 5,000 people in the back mountain, how much silver would she earn every month?

Even if you don't go out, you will have a fixed income every month, and you may be able to save a lot.

"General..." Jiang Zhen cast a look at Gu Yan as if he needed help. He was really poor.

Gu Yanji avoided his gaze unscrupulously and coughed, "Captain Jiang, once you miss this opportunity, it's gone."

Jiang Zhen... He now believed that the general was Miss Song's man, and was so completely biased.

They are together, and I am an outsider.

"Prince?" Jiang Zhen turned his gaze to Gu Lingfeng again.

Gu Lingfeng... If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come.

"Captain Jiang, Sister Awan's exclusive martial arts manual is only ten taels per month. That's a real bargain."

There was no other way. His second brother was already someone else's, and as the eldest brother he could only try his best to give him a legitimate status as soon as possible.

In this case, Captain Jiang would have to bear the brunt of the injustice.

"Ten taels, that's ten taels!" Jiang Zhen gritted his teeth and took out the only ten taels of silver he had left. He was afraid that if he delayed any further, ten taels would not be enough.

The money that was originally intended for buying food was now all given to her. Raising a son is really expensive, Jiang Zhen thought secretly.

But he had to raise three of them. If it weren't for the fact that they were his own children, he really wanted to throw these three prodigal sons into the military camp and let them live and eat with those rude soldiers.

"After paying the money, you three brothers must learn skills from the master! Do you understand?" Jiang Zhen patted them one by one.

That was ten taels of silver. It still hurts to think about it now.

He is such a good father.

Song Wan took the silver without hesitation.

She had already made plans. Since Song Qi and the others were already familiar with the training process, she would let them lead one each tomorrow.

She just took some time off and lay at home counting money.

"Miss Song, I'll leave these three to you." After Jiang Zhen said this, he asked his youngest son to go out and get the luggage of the three brothers.

"Everything will be fine then." Song Wan looked as if everything would be fine as long as he had the money.

Jiang Zhen suppressed the pain in his heart and thanked him solemnly.

Anyway, this trip was not in vain.

"But Big Beard, I remember you still have 5,000 people in the back mountain. Why don't you ask them to come and learn from me?"

After hearing this, Jiang Zhen asked an extremely stupid question, "Do I still have to pay the money?"

"I can give you a discount." Song Wan said with a smile.

Jiang Zhen...if five thousand people were to imitate him, we might as well break his legs.

When Jiang Zhen thought about having to spend an extra ten taels of silver every month, he felt that he should have some new income and not just live off his savings.

So he asked, "Miss Song, I heard that you captured Yao Xu's son and his secret guards?"

"Well, they are reclaiming the land now." Several people ate a lot, but their work was done with difficulty, which made Song Wan very worried.

Jiang Zhen's heart warmed when he heard this, "Do you want me to write a letter to Yao Xu and ask him to pay some ransom?"

Song Wan threw the core into the soil, intending to save it for fertilizer. "Don't think about it. It's been more than half a month since I sent the letter, and I haven't heard a single penny."

If Yao Liwei didn't look a bit like Yao Xu, she would have suspected that Yao Xu was not his biological father.

Upon hearing that there was no silver to rob, Jiang Zhen sighed and said regretfully, "This Yao Xu is too weak to be robbed."

Song Wan agreed immensely, "That's right. The configuration of this emperor's brother-in-law is not even a little bit worse than the previous one."

Jiang Zhen...he didn't dare to respond.

"Gu Yan is in a hurry, why not let Qi Fu come over to train together tomorrow!" Song Wan looked at him, her eyes sparkling.

"That's good. He should also learn some self-protection skills." Gu Yanji pretended not to see her true intention and smiled.
