"Also, the mountains and forests often block out the sun. If you've never lived in a mountain forest before, you won't even be able to tell the direction. Add to that a thick fog, and it's incredibly dangerous!"
"You may be very smart, but those are deep mountains."
"Where we are, people who go into the mountains for the first time need to be led by an experienced hunter for half a year to familiarize themselves with the survival rules of the forest before they can go into the mountains alone. So, no matter what you say this time, I will go with you."
Chen Wei was deeply moved.
But she still shook her head and refused.
Chen Wei said, "If you follow me into the mountains, what will happen to your two daughters?"
"You know, Lingnan is different from here. The risk of danger is very high. Have you ever thought about how your daughter will live if we can't come back?"
Xiaoying's face was full of determination, and every word she said was undeniable. "Actually, I've been thinking about going with you for a while now. I've also told my two daughters, and they both understand and let me go with you."
"As for what happens next, we'll just take it one step at a time."
Xiaoying paused and said thoughtfully, "The apprentices from the martial arts school sometimes come to help look after the two sisters. Besides, we have Panxi and them, so there's no need to worry."
Seeing that Xiaoying had said this, she had already arranged everything.
Shen Wei swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
According to the current situation, if she goes alone, she will surely die. But if she goes with Xiaoying, who has been familiar with the deep forest since childhood, she may have a chance of survival.
No one wants to die and take risks.
But she carries a lot on her shoulders in this adventure.
If successful.
Since then, the status of women has changed...
Take a gamble, take a gamble for their rights and freedom.
Chen Wei closed his eyes and said, "Okay, do your best. Life and death are up to fate."
Time soon came to the day before departure.
After Xiaoman learned about this, she insisted on staying with Shen Wei no matter what, so Chen Wei had no choice but to include her in the equation.
That night, Chen Wei, Xiaoying, Xiaoman and Zhao Xiangrong all gathered in Shen Wei's room to discuss.
When the team is halfway there, Chen Wei, Xiaoying and Xiaoman will quietly leave the team and head to Lingnan, while Zhao Xiangrong will go to the Xiongnu, waiting for the court's signal to respond accordingly.
Whether going to Xiongnu or Lingnan, the road ahead is bumpy and life and death are uncertain. The four of them sat at the table and had a drink until the night watch outside rang three times.
The young talent stood up and said:
"It's the third watch now. Let's have one more drink together and then go back to our rooms and sleep."
"I hope the future will be bright from now on, and women will no longer be given away as trophies."
"Hopefully, everything will be OK for us."
"Xiang Rong, you must take care of yourself on this trip to the Xiongnu."
Zhao Xiangrong raised his glass: "Don't worry, I will!"
"I'm actually worried about you. After all, we have so many people who can take care of each other, but you only have three people to support each other."
"This journey is dangerous. May we all return safely."
The four of them raised their glasses and drank together, drinking out all the emotions such as confusion and melancholy.
They are afraid too. Who isn't afraid of unknown dangers?
I really hope the sun rises later tomorrow so they can set out on their journey later.
But they know that this is impossible, just like they say that everyone must return safely, but they also know that this is too much of a pipe dream.
Maybe this is the last time we meet.
