Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Yingchuan County is located in the heart of the Central Plains, with a developed economy and a large population. It is considered the most prosperous place in the Han Dynasty besides the imperial capital. As the seat of Yingchuan, Yangdi’s prosperity can be imagined.

The bluestone-paved streets are flat and wide, with tall buildings lined up on both sides. Although it is almost evening, the streets are still bustling with traffic and people.

However, Zhang Mo had no intention of appreciating the ancient street scene at this time. She walked aimlessly on the street, thinking about Wang Yun's life and deeds in her mind.

That’s right, the old man who saved Zhang Mo was the famous beauty trap planner - Wang Yun.

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Wang Yun used his adopted daughter Diao Chan to alienate Dong Zhuo and his son Lu Bu, and eliminated the traitor for the country, thus leaving his name in history.

However, official historical records show that it was because Lu Bu seduced a maid in Dong Zhuo's house and was afraid that the matter would be exposed. In addition, he was dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo. After being fooled by Wang Yun, this fool stabbed his adoptive father.

Afterwards, Wang Yun and Lu Bu jointly controlled the government and were very powerful for a while. However, Lu Bu was too weak, and Chang'an was soon captured by Dong Zhuo's former subordinates. He escaped quickly, but Wang Yun's family was killed by the rebels.

Although she knew Wang Yun's final outcome, she couldn't tell him. Even if she did, he would probably think she was a lunatic or a monster.

Standing on the bustling street of Yangdi, Zhang Mo couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In this Three Kingdoms game, her arrival only added one to the internal affairs population column of Yangdi, while Wang Yun, Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu were all game players.

Before traveling through time, she naively believed that changing the fate of the ancients was simple. However, after coming here, she realized how cruel this world was. She was just like millions of ordinary people in this world, and was just a part of the game played by the upper class!

Repay? Or let yourself survive first.

Zhang Mo found a ready-made clothing store, sold the robe that was several sizes too big for her, and exchanged it for a suitable Confucian robe.

The sun sank lower and lower, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street. Before they parted, Steward Wang told her that due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yangdi had imposed a curfew, and anyone who was still strolling on the street after dark would be arrested and beaten with a stick.

Although there was a dilapidated temple in the city where she could stay, it was crowded with homeless people. If she, a little kid, squeezed through it, she would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

Zhang Mo also found an inn, but her face was too unsightly now. After scaring a distinguished person, she was kicked out by the owner.

In fact, she had taken a photo in the river before. If you look closely, the facial features of this body are still very beautiful. It's just that due to long-term malnutrition, the eye sockets are sunken, making the big eyes look a little scary. In addition, the hair is sparse and dry, the teeth are full of yellow, and the skin is tanned and wrinkled, which makes it look very ugly.

Zhang Mo looked for several houses for rent, but without exception, the other party slammed the door shut when they saw her.

"Please, gods and Buddhas, bless this family to take me in, bless, bless..."

With a nervous mood, Zhang Mo knocked on the door of the last house at the end of the alley.

"Squeak!"

With a slight sound, the dilapidated gate opened a crack, and a boy of about twelve or thirteen poked his head out and asked lazily, "Who is it? What are you doing?"

Zhang Mo pointed to the wooden board hanging outside the door and asked cautiously, "Excuse me... Young man, is there a house for rent here?"

"Squeak!" "Clang!"

Two louder sounds of a door opening were heard, and the gate flew wide open. The young man jumped out from the threshold, his expression excited, and he looked at Zhang Mo with bright eyes, "What did you call me just now? Say it again."

Zhang Mo was stunned for a moment, then looked up, "Young man? What's wrong?"

The young man was wearing a brown coarse cloth short shirt. He was not very old, but he was quite tall. He had a handsome and resolute appearance, broad shoulders, narrow waist and a bear back. It was obvious that he was a martial artist. It should be right to call him young hero, right?

"Young man!"

The young man became more and more excited and laughed loudly, "I, Xu Fu, have grown up so much, and finally someone calls me Young Hero."

Xu Fu took the bag from Zhang Mo's hand with one hand and pulled her in with the other. "Young Master, you want to rent a room. It's just right. I have a room for rent. It's definitely spacious for you to live alone."

Just calling him "young hero" is enough? Standing in the yard, Zhang Mo was a little overwhelmed. This surprise came out of nowhere.

However, it seems that everyone in this world is a little weird!

Looking around, the yard is not big, with a main hall in the middle, two rooms on each side, and a chicken coop in the corner.

Xu Fu was just about to show Zhang Mo around the room when a woman came out from the main room. She was about forty years old, with a pretty face and gentle eyes. When she saw Zhang Mo, she was stunned for a moment, then went back into the room without saying a word.

Xu Fu explained, "This is my mother. No need to guess, she must have gone to get you food." There was a hint of mischievous smile in his words.

Sure enough, after a while, the woman came out again with a Hu pancake in her hand.

Stuffing the Hu pancake into Zhang Mo's hands, the woman touched her head with pity, "How long has it been since you had a good meal? Ah Fu brought you back, and I can't just stand by and watch you die. It's just that my family isn't well off, and I can't help you forever. Fu'er's grandmother is sick again, and we don't have money to buy medicine..."

Before Aunt Xu could finish, Xu Fu interrupted her and laughed, "Auntie, this is not the beggar I brought back. He came to rent a house."

"what?"

Aunt Xu looked at Zhang Mo and asked, "Rent a house?"

Zhang Mo nodded hurriedly, "I have money!" She took out a string of copper coins from her bag, which jingled.

Aunt Xu's gaze on Zhang Mo changed, "Where did you get this money?"

Realizing what Aunt Xu was suspicious of, Zhang Mo hurriedly explained, "I'm absolutely innocent. I didn't steal or rob. It was given to me by a noble man. I have his letter of introduction here."

Then he took out the document given by Wang Yun and showed it to them.

Unfortunately... Xu's mother and son were illiterate. They put their heads together to look at it for a long time but couldn't make out anything. However, they had seen the seal on the document on official notices, and it looked similar.

"In that case, young master, please stay here. It's two hundred coins a month. Well... the elderly man at home is ill and urgently needs money, so... the rent must be paid first."

Aunt Xu's expression had relaxed. She stared at the money in Zhang Mo's hand and said a little embarrassedly.

"this is necessary."

After counting out two hundred coins and handing them to Aunt Xu, Zhang Mo hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is it enough to buy medicine? If not, I can advance a few days' rent."

The reason why she said a few days was because she didn't have much money left and she had to save some money for food.

"The young master is a good man!"

Aunt Xu sighed, "Who can say for sure about illness? Perhaps a dose of medicine will cure it. Young Master, keep this little money for yourself."

"By the way, young master, you are all alone, how will you survive in the future?"

"Auntie, you can just call me Ah Mo. I'll go look around the streets tomorrow and find a job."

Aunt Xu once again looked at her skinny body, shook her head and sighed. Xu Fu beside her said cheerfully, "Don't worry, Amo. If you really can't find a job, you can help Amo make Hu pancakes. At worst, I can share half of my food with you."

This prodigal son! He doesn't even know his own weight, yet he dares to take on so much? Aunt Xu cursed inwardly, but said nothing. She took the money and asked Xu Fu to take Zhang Mo to her room.

The room was not big, with only a bed made of wooden boards and a small square box. It was kept very clean and tidy, and there was nothing else in it except these two things.

The money Wang Yun gave her was almost gone, and she still had no job. However, she still had to eat every day, so Zhang Mo had no money to buy anything else. Fortunately, it was almost summer, so she could put off buying quilts and winter clothes for the time being.

There was no toilet, so I could only borrow Aunt Xu's. There was no toilet paper, so I had to make do with leaves. But I couldn't make do without a toothbrush.

She broke off a willow branch to use as a toothbrush, borrowed some salt to grind into toothpaste, and asked Aunt Xu for a thin thread to use as sewing thread. It took Zhang Mo nearly a quarter of an hour to thoroughly clean all the yellow teeth in her mouth. She then fetched water to wash herself from head to toe, and finally felt refreshed.

It was completely dark and the Xu family had gone to bed. Zhang Mo returned to her room, lay down in her clothes, and covered her face with her bag to block out mosquitoes.

The hard bed board burned her skinny body, causing a dull pain. Mosquitoes were buzzing in her ears. Zhang Mo tossed and turned, unable to sleep. After an unknown amount of time, there was a slight knock on the door.

"Amo, are you asleep?" It was Xu Fu's voice.

"Not yet!" Zhang Mo responded, got up and opened the door.

Xu Fu stood outside holding a quilt, grinning, "I just remembered you didn't have a quilt when I was halfway through sleeping. Put this underneath you and you'll sleep more comfortably."

"This..." Zhang Mo was a little embarrassed, "Give me the quilt, what are you sleeping on?"

"It's okay. You can use it first. I'm tough, so I'll just make do with it for one night. Tomorrow I'll go outside the city and gather some reed fluff for you. Go cut some linen and have my mother sew it up for you. After drying it in the sun, you can use it. If you're not afraid of the heat, you can put some hay underneath and it won't hurt at all."

Xu Fu brought in the quilt and spread it out, then went out to get some hay. "Go sit out for a while. I'll smoke out some mosquitoes for you before you go to sleep."

Faint moonlight shone in from outside the door. The young man squatted on the ground and struck flint. White smoke floated up, carrying a fresh scent of grass. It was the most fragrant smell she had ever smelled since she came to this other world.

A smile appeared on Zhang Mo's lips, "Brother Afu, thank you!"

"Why thank me? Your two hundred coins helped my family solve an urgent problem. I should be the one thanking you."

Zhang Mo smiled warmly and sat outside the door watching Xu Fu smoke mosquitoes. "Brother Afu, tomorrow I'll cut some cloth and then go with you to pick reed flowers!"

"Okay!" The boy turned around and smiled sunny.
