Chapter 49 General Shen Appears
Wenwan has a modern soul at heart, and she wouldn't be so foolish as to think that just because a girl talks to someone for a few minutes, there really is something going on between the two of them.
What she found interesting was Shen Yu's reaction.
The girl's eyes were as big as titanium, and the word "like" was almost engraved on her forehead. He had a cold face and pushed the girl away with the scabbard in his hand.
I couldn't hear what they said because I was far away, but seeing the girl covering her face and running away crying, I guess he couldn't say anything good either.
"Straight man, no mercy at all!"
Wen Wan shook her head and stuffed a piece of cake in her mouth. "Compared to this, he's been pretty good to me, isn't he?"
"No, that's not right. He scolded me several times. If I wasn't strong-willed, I would have run away crying like that girl."
Wen Wan firmly believes that only by constant reflection and review can one become excellent.
She finished, then turned and patted Winn's shoulder.
"Yeah, he's a negative example. You must never learn from him. Straight men like him deserve to be single for the rest of their lives."
Winn naturally nodded obediently, looking like he would listen to whatever she said.
Wen Wan was very satisfied with Wen En's attitude.
While they were saying these two sentences, Shen Yu had already entered the shop in the distance.
The four characters "Miraculous Hands Bringing Back Spring" are hung right above the shop, and it is obvious that it is a medicine shop.
Wen Wan was still hesitating whether to go and say hello, but Wen En took her arm, turned around and left, making the decision for her directly.
The child has grown up and has his own ideas, and she feels helpless.

That night, something big happened in the border town.
Wen Wan found out about it the next morning when she went to buy groceries and heard a few women chatting at the entrance of the alley.
Throughout history, whenever women get together, they can always tell various stories in a vivid way.
They told me that the group of thieves who burned down the jewelry store a few days ago were hiding in a drugstore.
Last night, the government office and the border town garrison surrounded the drugstore. The thieves were extremely vicious and injured many people when they put up a desperate resistance. It is said that several of them even escaped.
No one knew where the escaped thief was hiding, and everyone was in a panic for a while.
After hearing this, Wen Wan no longer cared about buying vegetables. She turned around and walked back, and directly knocked on the door of the next yard.
Agui yawned as he opened the door.
"Has your captain ever come back?" Wen Wan asked anxiously.
Agui: "No, the captain has been staying in the barracks these days. If Miss Xiaowan needs to talk to the captain about something, she can send a pigeon to deliver the message."
"There's nothing special. I just heard there was trouble in the city, so I came to ask about it." Wen Wan explained.
A Gui comforted her, "Miss Xiao Wan, you're probably worried about the captain. Don't worry, our captain is very capable. If anything happened to him, the whole border town would be in chaos."
Wen Wan didn't believe it, "Is your captain so powerful?"
"Of course not." A Gui warned again, "Miss Xiaowan, the city has been uneasy these past few days. If you want to go out, you can call me. My captain has specifically instructed me to protect you."
Wen Wan smiled happily when she heard this, "You...are protecting us?"
It's not that she looked down on the status of a servant, it's just that Agui looked thin and leggy, not as strong as Wen En, so it was really hard for him to give people a sense of security.
Agui patted his chest and said, "Miss Xiaowan, I'm very capable, don't look down on me."
"No, no. I believe you."
Wen Wan didn't take Agui's words to heart.
Seeing her carrying a basket of vegetables, Agui asked, "Miss Xiaowan, are you going to buy some vegetables?"
Wen Wan seemed a little hesitant, as there was indeed no food left at home.
"Miss Xiaowan, I'll go with you." Agui was smart. "The city is so big, your luck shouldn't be that bad. You wouldn't run into a thief while buying vegetables. Besides, I'm with you, so nothing will happen."
That makes sense, but unfortunately...
The two men had just walked into the vegetable market and picked up two vegetables when the entire market was thrown into chaos because thieves broke in.
"Is your mouth blessed?"
Wen Wan complained while looking for a shop to hide.
At times like this, as a young woman, she knew her own limitations and knew that the best way to help was to not cause more trouble.
Agui protected her as they moved through the crowd. When they saw a shop that was closing, he nimbly grabbed her arm and hid inside.
The shop owner was kind-hearted and waited until a few women seeking refuge came in before closing the door.
In the room, a group of people were discussing what had just happened.
"You don't know, I was at a fork in the road when two masked men rushed out of the pork shop, holding such a long knife, and chopped off a soldier's hand with one blow."
"Is the thief so powerful? How scary."
"That's right. The one who led the troops to capture the thieves was a captain. He was quite skilled in martial arts, but unfortunately he was too chivalrous. Seeing that the soldier was injured and unable to fight, the thieves came to attack, and he directly blocked the knife for the soldier."
"Ouch, that blood is spurting all over the floor!"
"Come to think of it, I took a look from a distance and saw that the young lieutenant was very handsome."
"He's handsome and has a sense of justice? I'll have to ask around. If he's not married, my daughter isn't married yet. What if there's a chance they could get married?"
Wen Wan hid in the corner. The more she listened, the more frightened she became, and her face turned pale.
The young lieutenant is handsome, loyal and righteous.
Isn’t this referring to Captain Zhou?
She was panicking and couldn't help but squeeze to the side where there was a small ventilation window, perhaps she could see what was happening outside.
Agui thought she was leaning to the side because she felt stuffy in the room, so he protected her and walked in that direction.
After finally squeezing to the window, Wen Wan raised her hand and gently pushed the window open a small gap.
The street outside the window was empty at this moment, without a single person in sight.
There was the sound of horse hooves coming from a distance, and it seemed that they were coming in this direction.
After a while, a group of armored border town defenders appeared in Wen Wan's sight.
Riding in front was a tall and imposing general. He held the reins in one hand and a long sword in the other, and passed through the street at an extremely fast speed.
From Wenwan's angle, she couldn't see the general's face, but she vaguely heard the person behind him call him "General Shen".
Wen Wan was startled, her eyes widened, and she stretched her neck to get a closer look.
That was General Shen? Her nominal husband?
General Shen heard someone calling him from behind, and he suddenly pulled the reins. The horse raised its front hooves high, and when they landed, they kicked up clouds of dust.
After the horse stopped, General Shen, who was sitting on the horse, slowly turned his head.
Wen Wan had already held her breath. If he turned his head a little more, she would be able to see his appearance clearly.
