From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

Shen Feng didn’t respond, but instead directly took the half piece of venison from Mu Shuangshuang’s hands and started eating it in front of Ni Fa.

Whether it was Mu Shuangshuang’s illusion or not, she felt that Shen Feng was eating the venison somewhat ravenously, even swallowing without chewing.

With such a way of eating, probably even if it’s not well-cooked, one wouldn’t notice, right?

”Lu Daniu, I won’t hold a grudge for you hitting me earlier!” Ni Fa proactively chatted with Mu Shuangshuang.

Throughout this journey, the only people they met every day were these escort masters or the small followers transporting items.

There were only a few people one could actually talk to.

Initially, Ni Fa quite disliked Mu Shuangshuang, but after getting into contact, he found her not unlikable.

And whoever talked to her, they could have a few words of conversation.

Therefore, Ni Fa basically sought out Mu Shuangshuang for a chat every day.

However, Mu Shuangshuang really disliked him and was always unfriendly to Ni Fa.

”Haircut boy, this matter, I wasn’t wrong! It was you who tried to steal Shen Feng’s venison, that’s why I hit you!” Mu Shuangshuang said.

”You... told not to call me Haircut, my name is Ni Fa!” Ni Fa flared up.

Ever since this ugly man in front of him called him Haircut.

Now except for Shen Feng, the entire escort master team, up and down, called him by that name.

Haircut, Haircut, it doesn’t sound like a good name at all.

He’s determined to become a Great Escort Master, how can he use such a name?

Mu Shuangshuang didn’t care what Ni Fa called himself, if he came to rile her up, she’d call him that.

Mu Shuangshuang didn’t speak, Ni Fa thought she was angry, hesitated for a good while, then said, ”Ah, forget it, call me whatever you like! Anyway, others are used to it too!”

This might be the reason Zhao Erbiao kept Ni Fa around.

Such agreeable temperament speaks for itself.

Mu Shuangshuang felt better and chatted idly with Ni Fa.

”Right, I heard from Chief Zhao that if we get to Xing City, we can rest there for three or four days. Lu Daniu, you’ve been yelling about wanting to get married, you can go northwest and see if there’s a beauty.” Ni Fa said, sitting next to Mu Shuangshuang, winking at her.

”Even if there’s a beauty, she may not fancy me! Haircut boy, you care so much about my marriage, could it be you want to get married too?” Mu Shuangshuang half-jokingly asked.

Throughout this journey, she relied on light-hearted jokes with several escort masters to pass the time.

Otherwise, the days would be unbearably long.

Right now, as the winter sets in, the weather is getting colder.

When rushing on the road, everyone clearly feels the icy coldness in the morning and at night.

Sometimes, really reluctant to continue, but there’s no choice but to move on.

After all, once you become an escort master, you’re bound to deal with rushing on the road.

Luckily, everyone here is amusing themselves with jokes, making the days livelier.

”I... I don’t want to yet, I haven’t become a Great Escort Master!”

Ni Fa’s face turned red, refusing to admit he wanted to find someone to marry.

Such a thing isn’t shameful, and it’s something everyone goes through.

But this kid keeps shouting about being a Great Escort Master, seemed different from others, so his pursuits too have to be different.

Mu Shuangshuang smiled without saying anything.

”There’s nothing wrong with not wanting one. People may be beautiful, but they aren’t blind, definitely wouldn’t fancy you!” Mu Shuangshuang said earnestly.

Ni Fa flared up again, ”Lu Daniu, you bastard! Beauty definitely wouldn’t fancy you!”

”Sure, sure, beauty fancies you!” Mu Shuangshuang said with laughter.

Ni Fa snorted and grumbled again.

The two often quarreled over trivial matters.

The others wouldn’t intervene, as they knew these were just the spices of the road.

After laughing, nothing would remain.

”Has everyone rested enough? Once rested, let’s continue our journey, aim to reach the next town before dark and resupply with food! Tonight, we stay at the inn!”

Zhao Erbiao said, and everyone instantly cheered with excitement.

Couldn’t even recall how many days they’ve been braving the elements in the mountains.

With only some firewood from the mountains and tents at night, as uncomfortable as it gets.

”Nothing more to say, let’s hurry on!” Zhao Erbiao urged.

Everyone, having their fill, resumed their journey.

By nightfall, they finally reached the town.

On the way to the Northwest, towns and county seats encountered weren’t as good as where they started.

Moreover, the closer to the Northwest, the worse the weather got.

The roads became increasingly difficult to travel.

Fortunately, everyone was used to staying in the mountains; even the worst conditions at the inn were considered good!

In the town, as they settled down, everyone began another night of rest.

...

On the other side, Lu Yuanfeng had been working in the kitchen for months.

From the moment he entered the kitchen, the military training had little to do with him.

However, these days, Da Wei’s army is getting more and more restless.

General Wen frequently selects batches of soldiers from ordinary folks for secret training.

Xing Beichen also passed through layer after layer of assessments after training.

Once the secret training starts, there’s an assessment every so often.

Those who pass continue to the next round until the final test, becoming General Wen Nantian’s most proud troops.

Since Wen Nantian became the general, there’s been this selection every year, serving as the foundation for aspiring soldiers.

No one knows exactly how many passed onto Wen Nantian’s selected forces.

On this day, after nightfall, Xing Beichen went to the kitchen to find Lu Yuanfeng.

The young man had been in the kitchen for so long, covered in the blackened soot.

While Xing Beichen also experienced skin roughening from the assessment training, no longer as fair as he once was.

But those are normal occurrences.

”Fengzi, I talked to the general about you yesterday, and he said there’s another arrangement for you! I guess this might be another kind of assessment!” Xing Beichen consoled Lu Yuanfeng.

He knew these days, Lu Yuanfeng had indeed suffered.

Without going to the training field, he was confined to the kitchen all day, being an unnoticed cook.

Xing Beichen had firm faith in General Wen Nantian.

Especially when Wen Nantian spoke of another arrangement, Xing Beichen believed even more firmly that Fengzi’s chance to shine would come.

Lu Yuanfeng didn’t speak; he’s not one for words.

If at the start he had fantasies about the general, so much time had passed.

Lu Yuanfeng gradually gave up the last of those fantasies.

Yet lately, his mood improved, he intuitively felt Shuangshuang was coming.

It was an odd feeling, and as time went on, it grew stronger.

As if Shuangshuang was getting closer and closer to him.

”Fengzi, you’re silent, do you not believe what I said?”
