In 208 AD, the coalition forces of Sun and Liu defeated Cao's army, and the Battle of Chibi ended.
That night, flames shone in the sky, and shouts of killing could not be heard. In just one night, Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops were burned to the ground.
After this battle, a three-legged confrontation situation has initially taken shape. Each faction has expanded its armies and prepared for war, actively preparing for the opportunity to break out again, in order to unify the world.
·······
Outside Changsha City, on the way to Daqing Village, the official road originally lay flat, but for some reason, there were many unknown corpses piled up.
They were randomly discarded on the roadside, but they were dressed very gorgeously, like businessmen coming and going, and there were even fragments of jewelry scattered among them, as if they had just been robbed.
Not far away there was a tall, thin young man who seemed to be still alive.
The man was sitting on a stone. His clothes had already been soaked in blood, which made him look particularly scary. However, his face was unexpectedly pale, and his eyes were full of fear and helplessness.
Obviously, he is also a victim.
"How could I be so unlucky? I encountered such a disaster just after I was reborn..."
The young man murmured to himself, his eyes flashing with deep regret.
While he was talking, he turned around and couldn't bear to look at the corpses on the ground.
The appearance of these people has long been indistinguishable, and the blood flowing from them has already soaked into the earth, making the land appear a terrifying dark red color, and a feeling of depression rushes towards the face.
"If I hadn't pretended to be dead, I might have become one of these corpses."
The young man smiled to himself.
But soon, he shook his head again and cheered up again.
"Those thieves haven't gone far yet. If they turn back, it will be useless for me to pretend to be dead!"
Thinking this, he stood up and was about to leave, but his attention was attracted by the shining jewelry on the ground.
He walked towards the pile of corpses, squatted down, and picked up the remaining jewelry on the ground.
"Holy shit!"
After seeing these things clearly, he couldn't help but curse out: "What the hell is this?"
I saw that all these jewelry were dull and dull, with mottled cracks on the surface. They were obviously defective items.
But think about it, the best things must have been picked up by thieves long ago, so how could it be his turn? And the remaining things are naturally in extremely bad condition.
"My life is so miserable. It's so hard for me to live another life, but I still have to encounter this kind of thing."
He sighed, wiped the blood stains off the beads, then carefully put them into his sleeve pocket, then continued walking forward, muttering:
"It's not worth much anyway. Just keep me, Wei Ming, to get a wife in the future."
Wei Ming is his real name. He was originally a young man from a poor family, but he was reborn into this dead man in an accident.
In this era, Wei Ming had already been killed by robbers. When he had just traveled through time, all he saw was mountains of corpses and seas of blood, so he pretended to be dead on the spot without even daring to breathe.
Fortunately, the robbers had already confirmed his death and did not come to kill him, so he was able to escape.
Bitterly touching the blood hole on his chest that had long since healed, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Hey, it's a pity that my life, Wei Ming, is cheap..."
"Other people who traveled through time were directly granted the title of marquis and prime minister, and they were members of aristocratic families. How could I be like this when I arrived?"
He sighed in a low voice and continued to walk forward, but after taking only two steps, he stopped again and looked back at the pile of corpses, as if he wanted to carve the tragic scene into his mind.
"No matter what, I, Wei Ming, am a good man!"
"Now that I have come to this troubled time, I have made up my mind to assist the benevolent and righteous king to make the people rich, live and work in peace and contentment, instead of like this..."
Wei Ming clenched his fists unconsciously, the scene in front of him had a too strong impact on him.
"In this life, even if I die, I will never be that coward who lives in vain! I would rather die than make a career."
After saying this, Wei Ming turned his head resolutely, no longer paying attention to the pile of cold corpses, and walked forward.
The first priority is to find a place where there are people to settle down.
In this way, we drove without sleep for seven consecutive days.
This road is full of mountains and wild areas, and there are even wild animals running rampant. If I hadn't been clever, I would have become a meal on my plate.
But even so, their daily livelihood depends entirely on the wild fruits and clear springs in the mountains and forests, which is somewhat stretched.
Seeing that the official road was getting wider and wider, and there were still traces of being run over by wheels, he finally relaxed and knew that he had not chosen the wrong direction.
Finally, on the evening of the eighth day, Wei Ming saw the faint smoke in front of him, and a look of joy suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Finally found something to eat!"
he said excitedly.
Wei Ming knew that where there is smoke, there are people, and where there are people, there is food.
"Efforts are not in vain."
Thinking this way, I quickened my pace.
But at this moment, a cold voice sounded in his mind.
[Congratulations on getting a skill point, do you want to learn it? 】
"who?"
The sudden sound made Wei Ming tense up instantly.
Seeing no one answered, he asked again:
"Skill points? What did you say?"
As he spoke, he looked around with vigilant eyes.
But apart from the trees and grass, there was no human figure anywhere around.
Could it be that he was hungry and confused?
Wei Ming thought to himself, rubbed his forehead again, looked around, and confirmed that there was nothing unusual. He dismissed it as an auditory hallucination, then turned and walked forward.
When he arrived at his destination, he saw a large table in front of a huge wooden house. There was a pot of broth, grilled fish and vegetables on the table. They were still steaming and looked delicious.
Wei Ming was stunned by all this. Where is this? Why is there broth, fish, and vegetables? There is no one around. You saw smoke from the kitchen just now?
Is it possible that I am still living in a dream?
After slapping his face hard to make sure that all this was not a dream, Wei Ming felt relieved.
Although he was puzzled, he didn't think much about it. He was really too hungry at this time. The exhaustion and hunger from running around for days made this seven-foot man's legs so weak that it was almost difficult to stand still.
He gritted his teeth and limped towards the big table.
Although I'm sorry for this family, I really can't bear it now. I'll repay it with the jewelry I picked up after eating.
After he came to the table and sat down, he couldn't wait to pick up the bowl without the psychological burden and drank heavily.
Gudong Gudong~
The broth in the bowl was piping hot, but to Wei Ming, it was like rain, pouring into his stomach at once, warming his dry stomach.
“It’s so comfortable.“
Wei Ming let out a cry of relief in his heart, and sighed with emotion while swallowing big mouthfuls.
In the past few days, I have barely slept a wink, except for rushing. Now after drinking hot soup, my whole body feels warm, as if I have suddenly returned to my best condition.
While drinking the soup, I didn't forget to pick up another piece of fish and put it into my mouth. I suddenly felt a delicious taste filling my mouth, spreading along the tip of my tongue and entering my stomach.
"Well, it tastes so delicious. This guy's cooking skills are really impressive!"
Wei Ming ate until his mouth was full of oil and he didn't forget to praise it.
Although this bite of fish was ordinary and not a precious ingredient, it made him feel extremely happy, as if he had eaten all the delicious food in the world at once.
"Huh~"
I burped and wiped the oil stains from the corners of my mouth. I suddenly felt refreshed and full of strength.
"I must apologize deeply later and then repay them with jewelry."
Wei Ming thought to himself.
Although the jewelry I picked up was not worth much, it was more than enough to pay for a meal.
Just when he was thinking about it and was about to clear away the leftovers on the table, a sharp sound suddenly reached his ears.
"Don't move! If you move again, you will die!"
"Well?!"
Wei Ming was startled and turned his head suddenly, only to see a tough man standing not far away.
He was wearing rough linen clothes, a straw hat on his head, and his face was full of beard. He looked like a hunter, and there was a pretty girl behind him.
The girl stared at Wei Ming with her beautiful eyes, and asked fiercely: "Hey! You actually stole my food, do you think you have a long life?!"
When she noticed that Wei Ming had already eaten all the food on the table, her face turned green with anger.
"This is a day's meal for my father and daughter, and you alone ate it?"
The girl's words were trembling, obviously she was very angry.
But Wei Ming did not dare to answer casually.
Because the hunter had already bent his bow and arrows, and the cold and sharp arrow clusters were aimed at his head, ready to kill him at any time!
He only felt a chill on his back, and a trace of coldness penetrated his body along his pores, as if his blood was frozen instantly, making him freeze in place, and he did not dare to move at all.
I was horrified in my heart, wondering if I was going to die here today?
