This was the only day in recent times that everyone felt like they had some food in their stomachs. They were also excited to hear about the bright future ahead and that the young and strong could learn martial arts. They all said with great excitement, "We will follow the leader's instructions!"
"Sir, are there any other conditions? I offer my full support."
After they calmed down, Chenxi spoke again: "There's one more thing. If outsiders bully you, don't back down. When you meet on a narrow path, the brave will win!"
This world is rife with chaos. If you want to survive, food and drink are the first priority, and courage is the second. Without courage, if you encounter even slightly stronger refugees or other groups, you'll scatter before you know it. How can you live well then?
"What a powerful statement, 'When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave shall prevail!'" Zhao Rong, who had some education, was amazed that such words, spoken by a young girl, were so powerful and inspiring!
Haha, I haven't fully relayed Brother Yunlong's words to you yet. Take it slow; fighting spirit needs to be ignited little by little.
After giving everyone a pep talk and a "rally," the remaining task was to inform them that they would be going into the mountains to dig kudzu roots early the next morning.
The sky was completely shrouded in night, and the stars in the sky were very bright, completely different from the polluted night sky of later generations. The Milky Way was brilliant, like a star-studded avenue, guiding Chenxi forward.
"Big sister, you're amazing!" After everyone quietly found a place to rest, the eldest sister, Shen Qing, stared at Chen Xi with her round, bright eyes.
By the light of the stars and the dim moonlight, Shen Xi saw that Shen Qing's eyes were filled with admiration and worship.
Haha, I even gained a little fangirl!
"Yes, Big Sister is amazing!" The younger brother, Chen Hai, was wide awake, sitting on the abandoned carriage with a look of admiration on his face.
There's also a little fanboy!
"Big sister is amazing!" The younger sister joined in the fun. She didn't know the specifics, but her second sister and brother said that big sister was awesome, so big sister really is awesome!
Chen Xi patted Chen Yue and said with amusement, "Big sister is so amazing?"
Shen Yue nestled in Shen Xi's arms and nuzzled her affectionately, saying, "Big sister is incredibly amazing!"
Since her mother's death, Shen Yue has become unusually dependent on Shen Xi. When Shen Xi is not around, she feels lost and helpless. She hasn't seen her older sister for most of the day, and she is a little scared. Finally, she snuggles up to her older sister and doesn't want to leave her arms.
"Little rascal." Chen Xi gently pinched her little cheek. How could a three-year-old child not be afraid after experiencing so much?
Shen Yue nudged her older sister again, giggled, then slumped down and fell asleep!
Shenxi was stunned for a moment, then laughed. That speed at which she fell asleep was truly enviable!
Shen Qing moved even closer to Chen Xi and asked softly, "Big sister, can I also learn martial arts?"
"Of course you can. Not only you need to learn, but your younger brother needs to learn too. He needs to learn everything he can understand. Even your younger sister needs to learn gradually."
"Even I, the eldest sister, need to practice whenever I have a spare moment and learn more. I haven't told you before, but when I traveled with Father, I learned some kung fu. However, I haven't practiced it since we got home. I need to practice it properly from now on."
The original owner of this body had never learned martial arts, but she often traveled with her father, which broadened her horizons considerably compared to her peers. In Shen Xi's memory, she knew that this dynasty was the Da Xuan Dynasty, a fictional era that did not exist in history. The Da Xuan Dynasty was established by a foreign tribe and greatly oppressed the original Han people. After more than two hundred years of rule, when natural disasters and man-made calamities struck at the same time, the world fell into chaos.
"Big sister, you know martial arts! Then teach me in the future!" Shen Qing was overjoyed. She had a big sister who knew martial arts, and this big sister was so powerful. Now that she had become a leader, she couldn't fall behind!
Not to be outdone, Shen Hai raised his not-so-strong arm, somewhat excitedly saying, "Big sister, I'm going to learn martial arts properly so I can protect you in the future!"
Shen Xi gently patted Shen Qing and Shen Hai on the head in comfort, while planning for the future.
The next day, as soon as it was light, everyone got up. No one called them to breakfast, and they went directly to Ge Gen's place under Shen Xi's guidance.
The journey went smoothly, partly because the route was familiar, and partly because of the few wolves—two were killed and the other three were somewhat injured, so they naturally wouldn't dare to cause trouble at this time.
On the way into the mountains, Chenxi asked, "Does anyone here know anything about medicine?"
The only old man in Shenjiazhuang who knew medicine died on the road. He was a widow and only knew a little bit. He had no successors, so the rest of Shenjiazhuang did not know medicine.
Zhao Rong hesitated for a moment and said, "I do know a little about herbs, but only the most common wound medicines. I don't know much about others."
Shenxi nodded. It was good to know some medicine for injuries. In case someone got hurt, there were herbs in the mountains. She had seen them yesterday, the most common ones, like mugwort, plantain, and rehmannia. Shenxi didn't know much else, but from her past experience in wilderness survival, she recognized basic herbs and had even tasted hundreds of herbs and researched the most basic prescriptions. Her concern was that if someone got sick, or even if a plague broke out, she would need to prepare in advance. The reason she asked who else knew medicine was because she couldn't do everything herself. If there were many things to do later, she would be exhausted. Besides, she only knew basic medicine; she didn't know anything more advanced. It was impossible for everyone to get the most basic illnesses; the team needed a doctor.
At this moment, Aunt Li pointed to a boy in her line who looked to be about eleven or twelve years old: "He understands!"
She's too young, even younger than him. Even if she understands, how much could she possibly understand?
Seeing Shen Xi's suspicious gaze, the boy was not intimidated and said with certainty, "My grandfather has already taught me to recognize herbs, and I can prescribe basic prescriptions."
