Chapter 1: First Sight
At the beginning of the third year of Jian'an, it was a cold winter.
Counting nine cold days, storms and snowstorms, the harsh winter wind seemed to tear the earth apart, and the snowflakes fell, and in a short time the dry earth was covered with a thick blanket of velvet, and creaked under the feet.
Zhou Yu led a group of black-pressed troops and struggled through the snow. He led his subordinates to set off from Juchao, wanted to cross the Yangtze River, went to Wu County, and defected to his old friend Sun Ce.
He passed through Liyang, took advantage of the unpreparedness of the guards, and broke through the city in one fell swoop. But they abandoned the city, but they took a few hundred soldiers to replenish their troops, and twenty or thirty female dependents as military prostitutes, and now they also marched together in the procession.
At noon, the army stopped to camp and cook, and Zhou Yu came to Lu Su's tent to discuss the distribution of prisoners. When she came back, a thin figure suddenly burst out from the side, knelt down at his feet with a plop, and reflexively Zhou Yu's saber was already pointing at her neck in the next second, and it was also a moment later, when she saw the body in front of her that was as thin as a small beast, the strength was all converged on her fingertips. The woman at her feet trembled and kowtowed to him, then raised her little face to look into his eyes and begged: "I beg the general not to make the little girl a prostitute, the little girl is willing to be a slave, and the little girl is willing to do anything but this!"
This face made Zhou Yu's heart skip a beat, although this woman's appearance is still immature, but it is enough to captivate the country and the city.
The soldiers on the side rushed up and vigorously pushed her thin shoulders, ready to forcibly drag her down, Zhou Yu saw that she was pushed by the soldiers and fell on her back on the snow, disheveled, revealing the faint spring light on her chest. Hurriedly waved his hand and shouted, "Stop!"
The little girl struggled to get up and knelt up with her weak body when she heard this, and looked up at this cold and majestic face with sincerity, her eyelids were red from the cold, and her delicate little face was glued with white snowflakes, which were as crystal clear as a porcelain doll. Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and asked, "How old are you?" The voice was cold, and no emotion could be heard.
"Not yet fifteen." The little girl's voice was not as resolute as just now, trembling slightly, and the end was torn apart in the sound of wind and snow.
It's not yet timely.
"But do you still have family?"
"No...... All dead. ”
"Pass me on my order, this woman is in the logistics work, and no one is allowed to be rude and offended." Zhou Yu said as he got up and left. He was not a good woman, and within a few days, he completely forgot that there was such a person who had amazed his heart like an ancient well.
After Qiao Wan heard his answer, she finally couldn't hold back and fainted to the ground, she was hungry and cold, and she had reached the limit. When I woke up again, I was in the carriage, it was already dark, my throat was hot and painful, and I had an extra winter coat on my body, which was extremely warm compared to the thin and tattered coarse linen clothes before, recalling the scene at noon, my heart still palpitated, since the moment she knew her fate, she was ready to die, but this fearlessness of dying gave her the courage to stop the young general.
At least, she won the bet.
Since God has given her a chance to be reborn, she will definitely live well, father, mother, brother, sister, I will live well for you......
"Yikes! You're awake, why have you slept for so long! A shrill female voice sounded, and it turned out that there were still people in the thick darkness.
"I'm sorry, I'm ......" Qiao Wan struggled to make his hot throat sound.
"Alright, alright! Little ancestor, when you wake up, you will take this medicine quickly, the general can explain, you can't have anything. ”
Qiao Wan felt the sarcasm in her piercing voice, didn't speak again, picked up the medicine on the case and drank it down. Nothing is more important than staying alive.
In the following days, the young and handsome general, who everyone was looking forward to, accepted this beautiful little girl, and the general had never been close to a woman since his wife died in childbirth five years ago, and this time, as usual, he did not ask about this girl again, so that everyone's gossip was in vain.
