Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

The boundless expanse of white is like walking in a vast desert. All you see is the same scenery, with no end in sight. Coupled with the severe cold and the dwindling firewood, many people are on the verge of collapse.

Xu Chu refused to believe it, so the team walked for a few more days. When the sun came out, they found that they had gone in the wrong direction again and didn't know where they had gone. Those who were weak-willed immediately burst into tears.

"If I had known this would happen, I would have stayed in Xianbei as a slave..." A pretty woman squatted on the ground, covering her face and crying bitterly.

Because she was pretty, the male master treated her well. She could sleep in a felt tent at night instead of sleeping in the sheepfold like other slaves. If she gave birth to a son, maybe she could even eat corn, rice and meat. But now she was about to freeze to death on the grassland.

"I don't want to die. I want to go back to Dahan. I have a daughter living with her grandparents. I want to see her in my dreams..." Another woman was holding a bundle in her arms, looking ahead with lifeless eyes, and muttered.

"I don't want to die either..."

"I don't want to die..."

More people followed suit and started sobbing. Infected by this atmosphere, despair appeared in the eyes of many Golden Eagle Guard soldiers.

Xu Chu was annoyed by the noise and shouted, "Shut up, everyone! We will definitely be able to get out and return to the Han Dynasty!"

Although he said this, he actually had no confidence at all. Even if he had invincible courage, personal bravery was useless in the face of nature.

He glared at me with his tiger eyes, "If anyone cries again and disrupts the morale of my army, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The crying crowd immediately fell silent.

At this moment, Du Fei, who was standing on horseback and looking out, suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted, "A Chu, there seems to be someone over there."

Xu Chu jumped onto a horse and looked from afar. At the end of the white sky, a black dot was moving towards them. As the distance got closer, the black dot became bigger and bigger, and it could be vaguely seen as a group of people.

"They might be the Hu people who returned from looting our Han Dynasty." Du Fei guessed.

"In this damn place and weather, who else would come here except the Hu people?"

Xu Chu clenched his sword tightly and snorted, "I'm so angry I have no where to vent my anger. These barbarians just came charging at me. If I kill them, the loot I get will last me a few more days."

"Yeah!" Du Fei said, "Leave a few of them for later, maybe they can find a way out."

Xu Chu nodded and ordered the longbowmen to wait in front. The rest of the people mounted their horses and divided into two teams on the left and right to facilitate encirclement and protection of the longbowmen.

The troops in the distance were slowly approaching. Xu Chu narrowed his eyes and stared at the front. He was about to order his men to shoot arrows, but he saw that the enemy had stopped two hundred steps away.

The weather was gloomy and I couldn't see his face clearly, but judging from his clothes, he didn't seem to be a Hu person.

The other side stopped for a while, and someone held up a flag and waved it towards this side. Then, two familiar names were heard in the whistling cold wind.

"Xu Chu...Du Fei..." Hundreds of people on the opposite side shouted in unison.

Xu Chu was overjoyed and quickly shouted, "Don't shoot, they are one of us..."

He rode forward, scanning the crowd until a familiar figure caught his eye. He shouted loudly, spurring his horse into a gallop, shouting as he ran, "Amo... Amo..."

This team was none other than Zhang Mo and the others who came to look for Xu Chu. Seeing that they were safe and sound, Zhang Mo's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and a long-lost smile appeared on her face. But in just a moment, her face darkened again.

Xu Chu rushed over and jumped off the horse before the horse stopped. He ran to the front in three or two steps, picked up Zhang Mo from the horse, and gave her a big bear hug amid her screams.

"what are you doing?"

A smell of sweat mixed with the stench of cattle and sheep rushed into my nostrils, it was extremely sour and refreshing.

"Let go!" she pushed him angrily.

Xu Chu let her go and scratched his head embarrassedly, "I was so happy to see you that I lost my composure for a moment."

Seeing his silly look, Zhang Mo couldn't help but curl up the corners of her tense mouth into a smile.

"By the way, why are you here?" After the surprise, Xu Chu came to his senses and looked at her and the team behind her in disbelief.

"If I hadn't come, would you have gone to Xiongnu again on your way back? Hmm?"

She dragged out the last syllable a bit, and Xu Chu could tell she was angry, but he said shamelessly: "How could that be? I'm not going back, I just got lost..."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Mo carefully. She was wearing a thick gray-brown jacket, with half of her face covered by a bib. The skin exposed outside was cracked and red from the wind, her eyes were dark blue, her eye sockets were slightly red and swollen, and there was white frost on her eyebrows.

Xu Chu couldn't help but feel distressed and was about to say something sentimental when Du Fei and others also caught up. They all looked at Zhang Mo with surprise. She had been wandering in the vast snowy plains for several days, going in the wrong direction again and again, and finally saw her own people in despair. The excitement was beyond words. They surrounded her and asked her questions one after another.

"Amo, how did you find me and others?"

"Boss, you can definitely find the direction. We can finally go home!" A Golden Eagle Guard laughed.

"With the boss here, what problem can't be solved? Even a big shot like Qu Yi suffered at the hands of the boss." A Golden Eagle Guard who followed her to fight off Qu Yi said proudly.

Although she was young and a woman, this little woman who led them to become rich, defeated the strong with the weak to defend the village, and dared to go out of the city to rescue people with only 200 people, had gradually become the most solid support in everyone's hearts.

Zhang Mo simply said, "We came from the west side of Taihang Mountain. On the way, we met the people sent by Ah Fei to ask for help. We knew your general location, so we came here."

A Golden Eagle Guard soldier said happily, "We are so lucky to have encountered one in such a vast grassland. We are so lucky."

Zhang Feng curled his lips. "What kind of luck? If the boss hadn't been so clever and thought of using kites to mark the way, we wouldn't have seen him even if we walked through the vast grassland until next year."

"Paper Kite?"

Zhang Feng said, "Before we came here, the boss had people make over a hundred large kites. Every time we arrived at a location, except for the hundred people who stayed in the center, the rest of us divided into five teams, each carrying kites, and searched in the five directions of east, northeast, north, northwest, and west. Every ten miles, two people would stop and release kites as a guide, while the others would continue searching forward, spreading out from one station to another. This not only prevented us from getting lost, but also allowed us to scout for enemy forces. We encountered two groups of Hu people along the way, but because we knew about it in advance, we were able to avoid them safely."

"You can even think of this method, Amo, you are so smart!"

Du Fei looked at her with bright eyes. It was no wonder that they were able to find them with such a wide-ranging search.

The others also looked adoring and respectful, saying that there was no problem in the world that their boss couldn't solve.

Zhang Feng continued, "If not, we wouldn't be able to find you, and the scouts we sent out might not even return. We entered the grasslands at the beginning of autumn, and in order to find you, we sometimes stayed in one place for days. As the wind and snow became more and more frequent, we urged the eldest sister to return, but she always said to wait and search again, and that waiting and searching would only take many days and hundreds of miles."

"I was worried you wouldn't have firewood, so I brought so much coke that I was reluctant to use it. It was too cold to sleep at night, so I just took a nap by the charcoal fire while cooking. We men would huddle together to keep each other warm, but she was all alone..."

As the sturdy man spoke, his voice became choked with sobs.

The noisy crowd fell silent. In troubled times, human life was as cheap as a dog's, and most of the time, even less valuable than a dog's. But this girl was looking for them, not afraid of the severe cold, and took risks herself. How could they deserve her to treat them like this!

"Boss, my life, Jiang Huai, belongs to you from now on. I will go through fire and water to obey your orders."

"And I!"

"And I!"

“Me!” “Me!” “Me!”

Voices rose and fell in the team. At this moment, they truly submitted to her, not for profit or village rules, but only for this woman who valued their lives more than her own.

Xu Chu tugged at Zhang Mo's sleeve, like a child who had done something wrong, and whispered, "Amo, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so impulsive as to lead them into the Xianbei, and I shouldn't have been so happy killing them that I refused to go back. If anything happens to you this time, I... I..."

Zhang Mo interrupted him, "Stop talking nonsense and get going quickly. We'll talk about other things when we get back."

It's so damn cold! She remembered that in her previous life, the north wasn't this cold during the deep winter. No wonder the Hu people kept coming south.

Just as they were about to climb onto their horses, Zhang Mo suddenly thought of something and asked Zhang Feng to fetch two large packages from the horses carrying supplies. She said to Du Fei, "This is thin black cloth. Have everyone cover their eyes while walking. Just enough to be able to see people. Otherwise, in two days, you won't be able to open your eyes."

Du Fei asked in surprise, "How do you know they have eye problems? Can covering their eyes with black cloth cure them?"

"It can't be cured, but if you stop looking at Bai Xue all the time, it will get better in a few days."

The two teams merged and set off south. On the way, Zhang Mo taught everyone how to distinguish north from south when there was no sunlight.

"If you come across a tree, observe its branches and leaves. The side with the most lush growth is the south. If the leaves have all fallen off, you can cut it down and observe the stump. The one with the wider growth rings is the south."

"What are annual rings?" Du Fei asked.

"They are the circles in the tree stump. On the south side, facing the sun, the trees grow fast, so the rings are wider."

"If there are no trees, you can pile up a pile of snow. The side that melts faster is the south side."

"Amo, how do you know so much?" Xu Chu's face was full of admiration.

“Read more and you will naturally understand more!”

Without going in the wrong direction, the team quickly left the Xianbei and entered the territory of the Han Dynasty. After a few more days of travel, they arrived near Pingcheng in Yanmen County. The scouts behind them came with a fast horse to report that Xianbei cavalry appeared about fifty miles behind them, numbering about three thousand.
