Chapter 6: The Unreliable Guy

  "That's right! I, I..." Guo Yuan had just opened his mouth when Guo Jia stretched out a hand to stop him, "Alright, alright, I know, I know."

  It's really tiring talking to this guy.

  In fact, the Guo family, although declined, was not because of thin blood or anything, but because his parents died early. That is to say, Guo Jia, in the Guo clan, can be considered as a royal relative. Moreover, Guo Jia himself was intelligent, so he was favored by some of his clansmen.

  As for Guo Yuan, he was a distant relative of the Guo family. So when Guo Yuan came to rely on Guo Jia, it was absolutely not because he had nowhere else to turn, but rather like Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun going to rely on Cao Cao, it was because Guo Yuan's elders thought very highly of Guo Jia's prospects and therefore let Guo Yuan come and join him.

  Since Guo Yuan is of the same clan as himself and seems to be loyal, Guo Jia thought that he should cultivate him well, so that in the future he can become a great general. So he spoke to Guo Yuan,

  "From now on, stop saying 'I I I' and use 'me', got it?"

  Guo Yuan smiled foolishly.

  "You've said this before, big brother, but I just can't change."

  Kuo Chia was speechless for a moment, thinking that this small matter didn't seem like a big deal after all. When a military general beheads someone and uses the word "I", it actually sounds quite domineering. So he turned around and said:

  "Then I'll teach you how to read and recognize characters another day."

  As soon as Guo Jia spoke these words, Guo Yuan's face suddenly changed, and he hastily called out.

  "Big brother, I'm stupid and can't learn it. Don't waste your time on me anymore. When I see those characters, my eyes get blurry and my head hurts. Honestly, I just can't learn!"

  "What's wrong with you, don't you have any ambition? Have you heard of Wu Xiaoming? Okay, I know you haven't. " Guo Jia immediately took back his words and joked, who knows what Wu Xiaoming is now, even if it's not this ignorant Guo Yuan, the university scholar would be confused if he heard it."

  "If you don't read books and can't recognize characters, what future will you have?" Guo Jia said directly.

  "I can be a general and go into battle to kill the enemy!" Guo Yuan said with his chest out.

  "What kind of general are you? You don't even know military tactics, and you can't even understand orders. How can you be a general?" Guo Jia retorted.

  "I can understand what you're saying, point east and I'll go east, point at someone and I'll hit them!" Guo Yuan replied without thinking, this question must have been one he had answered countless times before.

  "Don't you know that some military secrets can't be spoken? Moreover, if one is illiterate, at most they can only serve as a vanguard, how can they become a great general?" Guo Jia couldn't help but say. Seeing Guo Yuan still had a completely puzzled expression about why generals need to be literate, Guo Jia could only sigh in frustration.

  "It's pointless to teach you. Forget it, let's just take things one step at a time from now on. Anyway, I never had any expectations of having someone like you around since the beginning."

  Originally, with Guo Yuan's current IQ, it seems that being a bodyguard is more suitable for him. But in this era, can one easily become a bodyguard? Low intelligence is okay, but bravery and martial arts skills must be high.

  Look at Cao Cao's side, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and Liu Bei's side, Zhao Yun, each of them has the bravery that can match ten thousand men!

  And this unknown Guo Yuan, according to Guo Jia's estimation, his martial arts skills can't be that high, he's just a life that can be killed in an instant. To put it metaphorically, it's like Guan Yu killing Hua Xiong, Hua Xiong killing Pan Feng, and Pan Feng killing Guo Yuan...

  So, Guo Jia thought of transforming Guo Yuan into a commanding general like Cao Ren. It's usually difficult to improve one's martial prowess, but knowledge should still be traceable, at least in this era, isn't there an example of Wu Zixu who was born with it?!

  What a pity, this foolish child has no ambition at all. Every day his mind is filled with thoughts of going into battle to kill the enemy, why doesn't he ever think about the problem of being killed on the battlefield?

  Forget it, at least a few small soldiers should still be able to cope with it. Now being a mediocre bodyguard is barely enough. Who is Guo Jia? He's just a "small person", can't compare to big shots like Cao Cao or Liu Bei. Besides, those big shots don't have a few strong men by their side either?

  Guo Jia comforted himself and then asked a few more questions before finally sending Guo Yi packing.

  At this moment, Guo Jia finally knew some basic situation, such as the fact that they were now in Xiangyang, and Guo Yuan had followed Guo Jia from Yingchuan to Luoyang, but unexpectedly encountered the Yellow Turban Rebellion along the way, so they detoured and hid here.

  However, the current Yellow Turbans have already entered their later stages. The early ones from Zhang Jiao's batch had long died out. Therefore, this time around, it seems that nothing major will come of it. Before long, once the world has settled down again, Guo Jia would be able to continue preparing for his trip north to study.

  From Guo Yuan's mouth, Guo Jia roughly understood these things. As for the others, even who this Huang Bofu was, Guo Yuan didn't know anything, only knowing that Guo Jia had brought him here.

  Helpless, Guo Jia could only continue to explore on his own, just like he said before, he had never expected anything from Guo Yuan anyway.

  Soon after Guo Yuan left, Huang Bo returned to Guo Jia's side again. Guo Jia hastily asked in a general tone of inquiry:

  "How's that younger sister doing?"

  Uncle Huang's face turned slightly bitter as he replied,

  The situation is not very good.

  "What?!" Guo Jia asked suddenly, had he indeed exposed some problem as a transmigrator?!

  Huang Bo Fu looked at Guo Jia and said directly,

  "In other aspects, it's fine, but because she doesn't remember anything and doesn't recognize anyone, whoever gets close to her makes her look very scared. Your aunt is worried about this."

  Kuo Chia was stunned, he never thought it would be such a situation, but thinking carefully, this is probably the real state of amnesia. On the other hand, Kuo Chia himself, as an amnesiac who doesn't recognize anyone, seems to be too carefree and casual.

  However, for the time being, Guo Jia let out a slight sigh of relief. It seemed that the other party had truly lost their memory and wasn't pretending. Of course, it was also impossible to rule out the possibility of some highly skilled transmigrators.

  So Guo Jia still had to go and take a look for himself. Suddenly, he felt a surge of excitement in his heart, thinking that this was probably a good opportunity to speak up, so he took the initiative to say:

  "Why don't I go take a look?"

  "Good nephew, you?" Huang Bo's expression seemed a bit strange. Not to mention that Guo Jia himself had lost his mind, and you're not even a doctor, what's the use of going to see him? If it were in the past, one could say it was out of concern, but now that Guo Jia has lost his mind, he doesn't recognize anyone anymore. How can he possibly have special feelings for someone?

  "After all, I and my sister are things that happened at the same time. If we put our heads together, maybe we can think of something. This might be helpful to everyone." Guo Jia explained hastily.

  Uncle Huang listened and indeed made some sense. Moreover, now is also a dead horse as a living horse doctor, no matter whether it can work or not, try it out anyway, so Uncle Huang nodded and said

  "Then I'll bring that girl over." He immediately let out a bitter laugh, "I don't even know if she'll listen to me now and follow me obediently."
