Chapter 94 Diao Chan’s Past

Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Diao Chan began to slowly recall her past events in the human world:

I first entered the human world and didn't know where I was going. I just relied on my feeling and walked northwest. Soon I came out of the deserted mountains. I walked for an unknown amount of time before finally seeing a group of people.

So I pretended to walk with them, and gradually I learned that they were a group of refugees who had no clothes and no food to eat because of the war. They were forced to leave their hometowns because of famine.

Along the way, wherever we passed, not only the wild vegetables had been dug up and eaten, but even the grass roots were not much left. I saw with my own eyes that the bodies of those in the team who had frozen to death and starved to death were being eaten by others.

; Some of the elderly and infirm people were beaten by the crowd because they wanted to beg for a little bit of food; there were also some mothers with their children who knelt on the ground and begged in a low voice in order for their children to have a full mouthful of food.

At the mercy of others.

Those scenes of human tragedy completely overturned the impression of the human world I heard from the stories. I have always longed for human life, and I never even dreamed that I would experience this when I first came to the human world.

If I hadn't had a thousand years of cultivation and could persist for a long time without eating anything, I might have died on the way to escape like most people.

In that extreme environment, we walked together for many days before finally arriving at a small village.

At this time, there were only a few people left in the team, and they rushed to every house to beg for food as if they were grasping at straws.

Although I followed the example of other refugees and went door to door begging for help, I still found nothing.

But when I arrived at the door of the fifth house, a miracle happened. The person who opened the door was a kind-hearted middle-aged woman.

Seeing that I was a weak little girl, the woman not only gave me a thick steamed bun, but also invited me into her home, even though I was disgraced.

In the still cold room of her house, she first gave me a hot bath, and then changed me into clean floral clothes. Suddenly being treated with tenderness, I seemed to feel the warmth of the world for the first time.

.

Just when I was immersed in the warmth I had never felt before, she slowly took my hand and asked me what my name was. I said my name was Hongchang, and she asked me what my last name was. Only then did I realize that this world

Not only do people in the family have family members, but their families also all have the same surname.

I didn't know how to answer for a while, but after a long time, I suddenly remembered that among the refugees, I had heard a surname with the same sound as human.

So I said my surname was Ren, Ren Hongchang, and that my family had died of illness while fleeing.

After hearing this, the woman told me that although she had a son, she had always wanted to have a daughter. However, her husband had not been heard from since he joined the army and never came back. Today he met me and he was so cute and sweet.

She has no family to take care of her, so she is simply a gift from God. She asked me if I would be her adopted daughter.

I saw that she was kind-hearted and so considerate and sincere to me, so I agreed and stayed at her home.

A few days later, a young man with piercing eyes and an aura as powerful as a tiger or leopard came back from hunting in the mountains. My adoptive mother introduced me to me as her sons Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian.

From then on, Lu Bu and I treated each other as brother and sister, and we began to get along day and night.

During the day, he would go hunting in the mountains, and I would help his foster mother prepare meals at home for him to come back. At night, he would exercise in the yard and hone his skills, and I would tell him stories about demons and spirits to relieve his boredom.

As Lu Bu's body became taller and stronger day by day, the upper contours of his face became stronger and tougher, becoming very strong and courageous.

Seeing his changes, I realized how people grow up, so I also used magic to slowly grow up like other little girls.

Seeing that I became more and more beautiful, Lu Bu also treated me better and better.

He would often bring me some rouge and gouache for girls or hairpins from the county town.

Although most of those things are worthless bargains, and he has a bad taste and doesn't know what styles girls like, I can still understand his thoughts.

Suddenly one day, Lu Bu brought me a deerskin cloak that was exchanged for a whole deer, put it on me, and then said to me: "Hongchang, do you know that when you grow up, you will get married and leave?"

This home.”

I was very disdainful after hearing this and argued with him: "I am different from others. I am only one person. It was my stepmother and you who took me in. I will never leave this home! On the contrary, it is you.

With the ability to be unafraid of tigers, leopards, bears and wolves, coupled with the skill of bending a bow and shooting at large eagles, I don’t know what day I will be on the battlefield and become an enemy of thousands of people.”

Unexpectedly, Lu Bu said what was in his heart: "Our family has been hunters in Jiuyuan, Bingzhou for generations. I have never thought about leaving here. I only think about hunting more mountain boar and deer skins in the future, selling them and marrying you as my wife."

Son, let me keep you at home as a matter of course."

At that time, I felt that we would continue to live such a carefree life, and that I would become Lu Bu's wife as a matter of course, give birth to a pair of children for him, accompany him to the end of his life, and then quietly

Leave the world.

I never expected that I would be the last person to leave that place first.

Just when I was growing up from a little girl to a graceful young lady, a group of eunuchs suddenly came to Jiuyuan County to select a group of beautiful girls for the emperor.

Every household could not escape the screening, and I, who was only in my late teens, was selected at once. Those eunuchs threatened all the selected show girls in a high-pitched voice. If we were disobedient or even dared to resist, our whole family would suffer.

When I thought that if I didn't go, my stepmother would be executed and Lu Bu would be beheaded, I became frightened and had no choice but to submit.

When I was leaving, only my stepmother had tears in her eyes, but Lu Bu did not come.

I think he should have hid in the mountains alone and fought wild beasts. Maybe this was the only way for him to vent his anger.

Just like that, I entered the palace.

However, in the palace, I was not able to see the emperor. I just became a palace maid responsible for the Diao Chan crown worn by the courtiers.

From then on, I was called Diao Chan by the palace people.

Because I often deal with many courtiers, I occasionally try to get some information from some ministers, such as where plagues and famines have broken out, and where peasant uprisings have occurred. Every time I don't hear news about annexing the state, it makes me feel relieved.

Gradually, I also discovered that at that time, the eunuchs were interfering in politics and relatives were taking power. Not only was the entire court in chaos, but even the palace was experiencing a sudden upheaval and the collapse of rituals and music.

Not only could the powerful ministers freely enter and leave the harem, they could even decide the life and death of most of the concubines and concubines. Therefore, everyone did not know their future destiny or whether they could continue to stay in the palace.

By chance, I finally met the person who could change my destiny in the world.
