    "We're here, we're finally here." Xie Wu's cheerful voice interrupted Jiang Dashan and Mr. Xie's contemplation.

    It turns out that they have reached the three-way intersection.

    "Let's take a look around first." Jiang Dashan said, taking the lead in dismounting.

    The three people walked separately along three roads for about a mile.  After their careful observation, they were sure that there were also fast horses running on the other two roads.  Except for the road in the middle that obviously looks like an official road, the horse hoof prints are clearly left without any explanation.  The remaining two including the one they were walking on, the horseshoes must have been wrapped, leaving only some shallow marks that could not be found without looking carefully.  But on that road in the middle, there was a bridge that had been burned by them. I don¡¯t know what those people would do?

    "They are very careful. Don't know what they are doing?" Jiang Dashan said.

    "You think, where will the people on the middle road turn when their steps are blocked by the river?" Mr. Xie asked.

    "Why are you talking so much? If you run fast, they should have come back. It would be bad to meet them." Xie Wu said.

    "Well, we have to leave here quickly. However, we also follow their example and wrap the horse's hooves to prevent others from discovering our whereabouts." Jiang Dashan suggested.

    "Be careful. Let's mess up the traces here." Mr. Xie nodded, agreeing with Jiang Dashan's statement.

    In this way, the three people led the horses and turned around several times on the three roads, leaving messy footprints on the road, hoping to disturb other people's sight.

    ¡°Then on the road into Luwei Village, they also wrapped the horses¡¯ hooves with coarse cloth to prevent them from leaving footprints.

    When we walked to the partially flooded path, although the horseshoes were wrapped, they could still leave clear traces because they stepped on the wet ground.

    "What should I do?" Xie Wu asked.

    "What can't be done? I just hope it rains, the water rises, and this path disappears completely." Jiang Dashan shook his head and said.

    They can¡¯t fly over.  If the road is dry, you can still think of a way. Once the water soaks, some of the ground turns into mud. It would be strange if there are no horse hoof prints left.

    Mr. Xie looked at the clear footprints, pondered for a moment, and said, "We have a solution. Let's cut some branches and put them up. After the horse passes by, we can collect the branches again."

    "But if the branches are cut off, will the tree be different and leave traces?" Jiang Dashan asked.

    "Oh, then go back and get some branches or thatch." Mr. Xie's mind turned quickly and he quickly came up with a countermeasure.

    The three people tried their best to cut a few bundles of dead thatch from the old year in a hidden place, added some fresh branches, and roughly made a few thick straw mats similar to mats, and threw them on the road for the horses to step on.  Xie Wu followed behind, picking up as he walked.  Although there are some traces, they are not as clear as before.  Although it took a lot of time, the effect was quite obvious.

    By the time they finished the wading path and reached the hillside, the road was dry.  Everyone rested here for a while, tied up the horses' hooves with dry cloth again, and took the dripping firewood with them before going to the village.  In fact, it is still far away from the village, and it is difficult to find Luwei Village due to its twists and turns and unfamiliar terrain.

    At this time, it is no different than in winter when there is thick snow everywhere. At a glance, it looks the same.  Now in this season, all the creeks and ditches that were originally covered by ice and snow are exposed.  What seems to be extending in all directions will actually lead to the vast reed forest and get lost in it.

    The Xie family got lost in the reed forest and didn't come out after wandering around for three days.  It was winter, and the reed forest was actually very safe. Anywhere with water was frozen.  If it were summer and autumn, there would be water everywhere, the reed forests would grow more lush, and the weeds on the surrounding paths would also grow lush, and many paths would be covered again.  It's even harder to transfer out.  Therefore, this reed forest can be said to be a natural screen for Reed Village.

    As soon as they entered Luwei Village, the three of them found an acquaintance.  Xie Shu'er was cutting wild vegetables with Dalang Xinhu's Aunt Liu.

    "Dalang, we are back." Jiang Dashan shouted.

    Seeing the three people returning home with a full load, everyone dropped their baskets of wild vegetables and cheered.

    "Wow, I bought so much food." Everyone shouted around the horse.  Looking at such food, everyone can't wait to drool.

    "Finally we have something to eat." Xin Hu took a long breath and said with a smile.

    If they come back a few days later or fail to bring back food, she will feel like she won't be able to support them anymore.  Eat vegetables every daysp;"Of course I have. I have been seriously enlightened before. I went to school for two years." What Dalang blurted out made everyone stunned for a moment.  They didn't know that there was a school in a village with three families.  Or is there a school nearby?

    "In the past, our family hired a wife, and I read and wrote every day. Later, when the family couldn't afford it, he left." Dalang quickly added another sentence.

    "Don't be afraid. We will invite a master in the future. There are many children, so we can open a school." Jiang Dashan said comfortingly.

    "Can I go to school?" Xin Hu asked with interest.

    Although she doesn¡¯t want to be a talented woman, she is still a college student in modern times. But for someone who has been studying for more than ten years, if nothing else, she knows a lot of words, and she can still remember some poems, lyrics, and songs.  Let her learn so that she can keep accounts openly, write, and read books.  If there were books at home, she would have read them.  It made her feel like she was blind and didn't know anything.

    "Of course. We don't want women to be without talent. It's a virtue not to read and write. How can we do it if we don't know how to read an account? It's just that we women don't need to take the imperial examination, and we don't need to learn how to write essays and commentaries like men."  Mrs. Xie smiled.  Naturally, girls do not need to learn the homework for scientific examinations, but some enlightenment knowledge is similar for boys and girls.

    "Ah Hu, if they don't teach you, I can teach you." Xie Shuer said with a proud smile.  This time she finally found something that Xinhu couldn't do that she knew how to do.

    Mr. Xie was just about to say something to his sister, please don¡¯t mislead me. Sister-in-law Xie joked: ¡°It¡¯s okay for you to enlighten A Hu. But you can¡¯t recite poems correctly.¡±

    Xie Shuer blushed. She has loved martial arts but not literature since she was a child. She always just went through the motions when studying.  Besides, girls¡¯ study is not as formal and serious as men¡¯s study.  Although wealthy and powerful families would hire a female wife to teach the girls, they would only dabble in various aspects.

    After girls are enlightened, the first books they read are the Four Books for Women, and then there are the female celebrities, and they also learn some music, chess, calligraphy and painting.  Learning this knowledge is not to make girls famous, but mainly to teach them how to deal with others, run a family, respect their parents and elders, take care of their husbands and teach their children, etc.  At most, it's just to let the girls in your family have some talents.

    Those housewives from wealthy families are not literate. Managing the general affairs of a large family actually requires some brains. If they are illiterate and rely entirely on rote memorization, they will sometimes be unable to remember. They also have to write down many things in notes.  Even in the boudoir, girls have to have some activities, and they will go out to participate in various banquets with the female elders in the family. When girls are together, they have to talk about something, like some poetry gathering, they are not here.  few.  If you are illiterate and cannot read, what should you do in this situation?

    "Sister-in-law Xie is talented and intelligent, and her father is a great scholar, so she has quite good knowledge.  If a woman could take the imperial examination, it would be no problem for her to become a scholar.  Her father often lamented that she was born a girl.  Otherwise, she can also make a name for herself.  However, these are all words said by family members behind closed doors. The girl's talent is too famous and the world does not like her.  Outsiders only know that the daughters of the Wang family are well-educated and important candidates for choosing their daughter-in-law.

    "So, Sister Xie will definitely know it." Xin Hu immediately changed his target, pulled Sister Xie and said, "I want to learn from you."

    "This little clever guy is really a good judge of things." Everyone burst into laughter.  This made Xie Shuer blush.

    "Huh, Ah Hu. My eldest sister-in-law is more powerful than my eldest brother in fighting against each other. It would be too wasteful to teach you enlightenment. Besides, my eldest sister-in-law is very strict. If you don't learn well, you will be beaten." Xie Shuer murmured.  road.

    Sister-in-law Xie glanced at her husband sheepishly and said, "Ah Hu is so smart, he must be able to read and write very quickly."

    "That's right. I'm very smart." Xin Hu pretended to be arrogant like a child, which made everyone laugh and made himself quite shocked.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
