When the late Emperor Jianming insisted on issuing an order to exile the Song and Gu families before he came to power, Marquis Linyuan always felt that the late Emperor did not want to kill them all, but wanted to do the opposite.
It was a pity that he had secretly investigated for a long time but still could not find out why the late emperor was determined to protect these two families at all costs on his deathbed.
What secrets are hidden by the Song and Gu families, especially the Gu family?
Marquis Linyuan was puzzled.
He recalled all the members of the Gu family, from the oldest to the youngest, and didn't feel anything was wrong.
Could it be that his suspicion was wrong, and the Song family was actually the most suspicious?
Speaking of which, there are indeed two people in the Song family whose whereabouts are unknown, whether they are alive or dead.
Could it be that both Song Yu and Song Qin did not die?
Guizhou area.
Song Wan was leading the girls in her family to dig wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain, and she was watching the three boys from the Jiang family and the little rebel Qi Fu running around the bamboo forest.
As the weather gets warmer, the wild vegetables on the ground are not only lush but also diverse.
After being in Guizhou for so long, Song Wan has always been obsessed with the cold wild vegetables he had during his exile.
It was not just their family that came to pick wild vegetables. Among the people she was familiar with were Gou Wa's mother, Goudan's mother, and Goudan's sister Daya.
I have also met other villagers to some extent.
Most of the people who come to pick wild vegetables are women and children in the family. There is no other way. The time for spring planting has arrived, and someone has to work in the fields.
Take Gou Wa for example. Although he is only eight or nine years old, he still had to work in the fields in the past. However, the situation is special this year. The family has an acre of land where potatoes have been planted in advance, so Gou Wa's father and his elder brother can do the rest.
So Gou Wa followed his mother to the foot of the back mountain, picked some wild vegetables, dug some spring bamboo shoots, and took out bird eggs with his good friends.
Winter bamboo shoots can be eaten, and spring bamboo shoots can naturally be eaten as well. It’s okay if you can’t finish them. Just marinate them with a little salt and dry them in the sun, and they can be preserved for a longer time.
Since knowing this, every household has dug up a lot of them, pickled them and dried them, hoping to save them for eating during the winter when there is no vegetable available.
At this time of year, wild vegetables from the mountains plus some grown in my own yard are enough.
Song Wan could eat but not recognize the food. Fortunately, Gou Wa's mother was enthusiastic and taught Song Yuan and her children to recognize two kinds of food that were easier to distinguish and more delicious: shepherd's purse and bitter vegetable.
Gou Wa's mother said that dumplings with shepherd's purse and meat filling are delicious, and bitter herbs are suitable for cold dishes or scrambled eggs.
Song Wan drooled after hearing this. The vegetables in this world were not all available here. Things like tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, etc. were not available here.
What she had seen most often were various kinds of yellow-green cabbages, big and small, looking similar and tasting similar.
"Ayuan, do you recognize her?" Song Wan asked. After all, besides her, Song Yuan is the most powerful one here.
"Sister Wan, my aunt taught me carefully, and I have remembered it." Song Yuan seldom goes out, and this is her first time to dig wild vegetables. Naturally, she doesn't want to disappoint the sisters who came with her.
"Then you take Ayue and Ayao to dig wild vegetables, and I'll take Anan to watch Gouwa and the others dig out bird eggs?" Song Wan assigned the tasks. "I'll roast some bird eggs for you later!"
Anan was still too young, and Song Wan was afraid that she couldn't keep her under control, so she decided to take care of her herself.
Song Yuan nodded honestly, indicating that she understood and would take good care of her sisters.
"Auntie, are roasted bird eggs delicious?" Anan drooled as she walked. She had only eaten eggs and had never eaten bird eggs.
"It must be delicious, otherwise why would Gou Wa and the others take it out?" Song Wan was not sure either. This was her first time.
In the apocalypse, all animals that survived were mutated. She had never seen bird eggs, only mutated eggs. Unfortunately, they could only be looked at and not eaten, and could only be used to smash zombies.
When Song Wan found Gou Wa and the others, they had already dug out more than twenty bird eggs and were dividing them one by one.
It was Gou Wa who first spotted her and called out joyfully, "Sister Wan! Why are you here?"
"Well, I'm here to take bird eggs too." Song Wan explained her purpose.
When Gou Wa heard this, he was immediately surprised, "Sister Wan, you can actually steal bird eggs!"
Song Wan raised an eyebrow and found a rock to sit on. "Why, don't I look like one?"
After saying that, she pulled Anan into her arms and tossed her up casually to show her ability.
The little girl was obviously often tossed around like this, so she didn't feel scared at all, but giggled instead.
"Sister Awan is so amazing! I wish my sister was as amazing as her!" Goudan, who was speaking, scratched his dark cheeks and said in a naive voice, "Daya always eats the most and beats me the most."
The other friends brought by Gou Wa laughed at Goudan without any hesitation, saying that he was no good and could not even beat a girl!
Goudan didn't argue, but just said with his neck stiff, "You don't know at all, Daya is very powerful. She can knock people to the ground with just one punch. Even if you all come together, you can't beat her!"
One of the friends didn't believe it, "Hahahahahahaha, Daya is a girl, how could she possibly beat us? Only you, Goudan, can't beat her!"
"What's wrong with girls? Girls will give birth to babies in the future. Can you guys?" Goudan used what Daya said when she beat him up to refute his playmates. "In the end, you're just jealous of Daya!"
Although Goudan is usually unruly and naughty, he is very respectful to his biological sister Daya, because he can't beat her.
As far as Goudan can remember, Daya has always been a woman more powerful than his own mother. He once thought that Daya was the most powerful woman in the world. It was not until Sister Awan came to the village that Daya's position in his heart finally changed from the first to the second most powerful woman.
"Daya is good." Song Wan has always believed that those who can eat are blessed, such as her. No matter whether it is in the end of the world or here, she always eats the most, and naturally her strength is the strongest.
Goudan was very proud and happy that his own sister was praised. "Listen, Sister Wan feels the same way! Daya is really amazing! She can knock anyone down with one punch!"
Except for Gou Wa, everyone else present didn't quite believe it. In their opinion, women are weaker than men, and Goudan must be lying.
Seeing that they didn't believe him, Goudan got anxious and said, "My sister Daya is really amazing!"
The oldest and tallest of the children spoke up, "Goudan, we know you're strong-willed, but you can't make up such a lie. You can't even climb a tree, so how can we believe that Daya can knock one out with one punch?"
"Why don't you believe it!" Goudan's eyes turned red with anger.
"Then ask Daya to come over and let's have a fight!" The child king raised his chin and said arrogantly, "I can give her a hand."
"Daya went to her grandmother's house today and is not in the village." Goudan said.
"Hahaha, you don't dare!"
"Daniel, I didn't lie!"
Da Niu was the leader of the group, the oldest among them. Standing up, he was a whole head taller than Goudan. "Then call Daya over for a competition!"
"Let me compete with you." Song Wan asked Gou Wa to help her look after An Nan while she walked over to Goudan. "What are you competing in? Fighting or whipping?"
Daniu knew that she was the 'Sister Awan' that Gou Wa and Goudan talked about every day. He had long been dissatisfied. As a man, how could he follow a girl around all day long?
Gou Wa and Goudan did too, and even several of their friends began to like this woman more than him.
It is obvious that he, Daniu, is the most powerful kid in Dadong Village.
"Why should we compete in anything you say?" Da Niu said without hesitation, "Let's compete in tree climbing! Whoever climbs the highest is the most powerful!"
"Okay, let's climb the tree." This was exactly what Song Wan wanted.
When she came over just now, she used her spiritual power to detect that several trees were too high and no one was picking the bird eggs on them, which was a good opportunity for her. "But the winner has to give half of their eggs to the other party."
Daniu quickly climbed up a tree that was neither too big nor too small, and snorted at Song Wan below, "If you have the guts, beat me first!"
Song Wan didn't waste any time and quickly chose a tree that was thicker, stronger and taller than the one he was climbing. He stepped on the branches and climbed up quickly, soon surpassing the big bull next to him.
She looked down at him and imitated his tone, "I won!"
Daniel couldn't believe a woman could climb a tree like that. He refused to accept it and decided to keep going up. "You haven't finished climbing yet! You haven't won yet!"
After saying that, he gritted his teeth and continued to climb. The higher he went, the thinner the tree trunk became. Not only did he climb slower, but it also became more and more dangerous.
Just as Song Wan finished taking out the bird eggs, she heard a frightened sound next to her ear. Da Niu bravely climbed to the top of the tree, but the trunk could not bear his weight and broke off from where he was holding it.
He fell backwards, screaming in fear. Just as he was about to fall straight to the ground, Song Wan pulled out the golden whip from his waist, wrapped it around his waist, and pulled him directly onto the tree where he was standing. He quickly said, "Hold on!"
Life and death seemed to be just a matter of a moment. The big cow hugged the thick tree trunk and began to cry, forgetting even to climb down.
Song Wan wrapped a dozen bird eggs in clothes and dropped them directly, shocking a group of children below.
"Wow! Sister Awan can actually fly!" Gou Wa and his friends exclaimed!
"Sister Awan is more amazing than Daya! Daya can't even fly!" Goudan was shocked but also admired. "If Daya is so amazing even though she can't fly, then Sister Awan must be even more amazing!"
"You lost." Song Wan emphasized to the big bull who was slowly coming down from the tree behind him.
"Hmph! A real man should accept defeat!" Da Niu pouted and gave two of his four bird eggs to Song Wan.
Song Wan took it without hesitation, turned around and handed it to the smiling little Anan, "Here, he lost to us."
Anan carefully held the two bird eggs and laughed, "Auntie is so great!"
"Let's go back and roast some bird eggs for your other aunts." Song Wan took out more than a dozen this time.
"Sister Awan, can I grill with you?" Gou Wa still remembered the last time they grilled fish by the river. The fish Sister Awan grilled was different from what they usually did and tasted much better.
"Sure, if you want to come together, just come over." Song Wan was much more tolerant towards human cubs.
As soon as she finished speaking, almost all the children stood up from the ground, including the one called Da Niu.
What Song Wan didn't know was that her "fly" just now had already won the hearts of all the children.
After collecting the bird eggs, when they came back, Song Yuan had already dug a small basket of wild vegetables with her two sisters.
Song Yao was only interested in things for a short time. She dug some wild vegetables and when she heard that Song Wan was taking An Nan to collect bird eggs, she wanted to go too.
Song Yuan didn't let her go. She had promised Song Wan that she would take good care of her two sisters and never let either of them leave alone.
Song Yao said angrily, "Sister! You are just a little pedantic!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Wan came down the mountain with a group of young people.
Song Yao looked up and saw it, her eyes instantly warmed up. She really wanted to be like Sister Awan, with so many younger brothers following her.
