Three Kingdoms: Ten Times Speed, Diao Chan Says I'm Too Fast

Time flies, and several days have passed.

The breath of early spring has swept across the land, and the weeds on the ground and the branches on the trees have begun to sprout green.

"Duan Youjiao."

"Duan You has paid."

"Has Duan Youjiao eaten yet? If not, come and have a bite together."

"You old hag, how can your food compare to the food at Duan Youjiao's house?"

Hearing the villagers' greetings, Duan Yu responded with a smile to each one.

Dressed in a black outfit with a straight sword hanging at his waist, Duan Yu appeared even more imposing.

Behind him were Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu.

After returning from Jinyang City a few days ago, Duan Yu agreed to the village elders' request to take on the role of a patrolman.

He is now a minor official in the village.

In addition, he has been hunting more and more prey in the mountains recently, and most of the villagers have benefited from his kindness, which has made him more and more popular in the village.

Now, young people from the surrounding villages and towns all take him as their role model, and some even come to join him because of his reputation.

Duan Yu accepted some of these gifts.

These past two days have been busy with spring plowing and farming, so Duan Yu hasn't gone hunting in the mountains.

There's too much game piling up at home; it's a waste that we can't eat it all.

The furs have already been collected and will be sent to Jinyang City for sale in a few days.

"Brother Duan, Brother Duan!"

As Duan Yu was walking along the village road with Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu, Chen Qing'an shouted loudly and waved to Duan Yu from a distance.

Before long, he ran up to Duan Yu, panting heavily.

He was panting heavily, his hands resting on his knees.

"What's wrong, Qing'an? Why are you in such a hurry?" Tie Shitou stepped forward from behind Duan Yu and asked.

Chen Qingan pointed behind him, then looked up at Duan Yu and said, "Brother Duan... people from home have come."

"It's...it's...a beautiful woman."

"They said they came to see Brother Duan."

"My sister-in-law said to let Brother Duan go back."

Ok?

Duan Yu was taken aback.

Is someone coming home?

She was still a beautiful woman.

Or are you here to see him?

No way!

A pretty figure instantly appeared in Duan Yu's mind.

Dong Yi?

It can only be her.

Aside from Dong Yi, he didn't know any other women.

But... how did she find me?

Could it be... that this girl has really taken a liking to him?

Duan Yu shook his head, banishing the unrealistic idea from his mind.

"Come on, let's go back."

Duan Yu called out to Shi Tou and the others.

..........

at home.

These past few days, Duan Yu hasn't gone hunting in the mountains. Besides focusing on upgrading his character attributes, he's also taken good care of repairing his home.

The original three rooms were too small and too dilapidated.

Reconstruction is necessary.

Duan Yu spent some money to expand the courtyard and added another piece of land behind the original three rooms.

Houses were being built at that time.

Since most of the villagers had benefited from Duan Yu's kindness, almost the entire village came to help when the houses were first built.

At this point, the outlines of a row of houses had been completed.

There were also some craftsmen that Duan Yu had invited from his father's hometown who were rushing to finish the work.

Today, the craftsmen and the villagers who were helping in the backyard were all standing in the yard, on the still unfinished courtyard wall, looking towards the front yard.

There was no other reason than that just now, several magnificent carriages suddenly arrived in the front yard.

Moreover, the people who got off the carriage were all dressed in fine silks and satins, clearly not from ordinary families.

Especially the young woman who seemed to be the owner, she was like a fairy descended from heaven.

Dressed in flowing robes, exuding wealth and status.

Many of the young men in the village stared in astonishment.

There were a dozen maids, a dozen guards, and four or five carriages piled high with things.

The villagers were curious about who these people were and what they were doing there.

When they saw the woman in the lead enter the hospital and find Diao Chan, and they seemed to know her quite well.

The villagers were once again in an uproar.

It seems like this has been going on ever since Duan Yu came to this house.

Not only was Li Gou'er's home constantly improving, but his life was also getting better and better, and wealthy people would come to visit from time to time.

Li Gou'er and Diao Chan certainly didn't have any wealthy friends like that.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have suffered in the village for so many years.

Therefore, the villagers were all speculating about Duan Yu's true identity.

Not to mention his great abilities, why does he attract so many wealthy people?

..........

Inside the courtyard, Dong Yi stood with her hands behind her back, curiously looking around the small courtyard.

Dong Yi and Diao Chan had already met a few days ago in the West Market of Jinyang.

Although we only met once, we weren't strangers.

Moreover, when Lady Wang came that day, Duan Yu brought back so much money and gifts from the city, and afterwards he explained the origin of these things to Diao Chan.

Diao Chan never expected that Dong Yi would actually come to her door.

It's a woman's intuition.

Looking at Dong Yi, who was dressed in gorgeous and elegant clothes, Diao Chan seemed to have figured out some of Dong Yi's intentions.

"Sister Diaochan, does Brother Duan usually practice archery in this courtyard?"

Dong Yi stood on a smooth, worn-out patch of ground.

There were several archery targets not far from where Dong Yi was standing.

Of course, this wasn't what Dong Yi was most curious about.

What Dong Yi was most curious about was that there was an abandoned pile of bows and arrows next to the archery range.

That's right, it's just an abandoned pile of arrows.

Bows with broken strings, or even bows that were snapped in two, were lying there, piled up more than a person high.

There must be at least several hundred.

Diao Chan nodded gently and said with a smile, "My husband usually rises at the crack of dawn and rests at sunset. Whenever he has time, he practices archery. He never stops every day, and sometimes he even practices from dawn to dusk."

"These arrows were all broken by my husband."

Dong Yi's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

She knew Duan Yu's archery skills were divine, but she never expected that he had developed them in this way.

I practice every day, and I've broken so many bows.

This kind of perseverance...

She lived on the frontier for many years and was used to seeing fierce generals.

Even among the generals who served her father, none of them had ever reached such a level of diligence.

"Sister Diao Chan has truly found a wonderful husband," Dong Yi said with a smile of envy. "Brother Duan's abilities are the most remarkable I have ever seen in my life."

"Sister Diaochan, you don't know, but my father is a military general with ten thousand men under his command."

"Even so, I have never seen anyone with Brother Duan's skills."

"Brother Duan is not only capable, but also trustworthy and brave. If he were to join the army and become a general, his future would surely be bright and promising."

"Sister Diaochan... Brother Duan is willing to stay in this small mountain village for your sake, it is truly Sister Diaochan's blessing."

Whether unintentional or deliberate, Dong Yi's words seemed to carry a subtle implication.

Diao Chan is not stupid; on the contrary, she is very intelligent.

Having lived in a mountain village for so many years, my perspective has been limited.

However, this does not mean that Diao Chan did not understand the meaning behind Dong Yi's words.

Looking at Dong Yi, and then at the luxurious carriages outside.

Diao Chan felt slightly inferior.

"perhaps......"

Perhaps marrying such a wife would be the greatest help to her husband.

I... I am just a lowly woman from the village, how could I compare to such a lady from a noble family, a daughter of a military general?

Diao Chan, with her head bowed, remained silent for a long while.

"Cui'er, go and tell the servants to move the things in."

Dong Yi turned around and glanced at the maid behind her.

He then smiled and took Diao Chan's hand, saying, "Sister Diao Chan, Brother Duan saved my life last time, and I expressed my gratitude."

"Afterwards, I told my father about it, and he said..."

"How can my life be worth so much?"

"If someone saves my life, I will repay them tenfold."

"Therefore, I have come here today to express my gratitude."

"Sister Diao Chan, please don't refuse, otherwise, my father will definitely scold me when I get home."

"These are just a small token of my appreciation."

Dong Yi held Diao Chan's hand tightly, as if she were a close sister.

“I am the only daughter in my family, and I have no other brothers or sisters. If Sister Diaochan doesn’t mind, we can call each other sisters from now on and visit each other more often.”

"Is it alright, Sister Diaochan?"

Diao Chan nodded silently: "That's a good idea."

"Just these gifts."

"Let's wait for my husband to return before making a decision, I..."

"what!"

Before Diao Chan could finish speaking, Dong Yi let out a soft "hmm".

Then he pointed towards the courtyard gate: "Sister Diaochan, Brother Duan is back."
