Chapter 5: The Han and the Barbarians Cannot Coexist - First Encounter with the Xianbei

  Three Kingdoms New Lü Bu

  Lü Chuan didn't know what had influenced him, but now he seemed to have no feeling about killing. Moreover, the nameless anger in his heart seemed to be able to find some release in killing. But it also seemed that killing would make himself even more brutal. Lü Chuan felt very conflicted, and there were too many things he couldn't understand. However, one thing was clear: now he had to be strong and ruthless. He didn't want to die, so he had to keep being ruthless. The people he met after the car accident all wanted to kill him without any reason. Thinking of this, the nameless fire in his heart rose again.

  Lü Chuan gritted his teeth and looked at the dead man on the ground, saying faintly to Yan Ni: "Let go."

  Yanni heard the shout to kill and didn't dare open her eyes, hearing someone's miserable cry made her even more afraid to look, she just instinctively held onto Lü Chuang tightly. Now hearing him speak, for a moment she didn't understand. She asked: "What?"

  Lü Chuan said: "I will dismount."

  Yanni was at a loss and said: "I... what can I do?"

  Lü Chuan tied the reins in his hand to the ghostly spear and said, "It's really troublesome, I don't want to hear your ghostly wails anymore. You'd better close your eyes and sit quietly."

  Yanni finally let go of her grip. Lü Chuan dismounted and picked up the large knife from the ground that the big man had dropped. The first two were beyond help, one was headless and the other was split in half, both were corpses. He walked to the front of the person who had been shot through the chest, saw that he hadn't died yet, but was still holding onto his wound with one hand and grasping a sword with the other. However, judging from his appearance, he would soon be dead as well, blood continuously flowing out from his wound.

  Lü Chuán looked at his opponent coldly and asked: "Who are you people? Why did you want to kill me for no reason?"

  Lü Chuan was stunned, and with one foot he stepped on the man's hand that held the sword, causing him to let go in pain. Lü Chuan picked up the sword and placed it at the man's neck, saying: "You dare to call me a bastard? What Xianbei? What barbarian? I am Han."

  Lü Chuan felt a bit relieved after hearing this, and touched his own hair. His hair had been cut just a few days ago, and it was indeed quite short. Sideburns? If he really did go back to the Eastern Han dynasty, then people of that time period all wore their hair long, and only criminals and barbarians would have short haircuts. He spoke differently from this person, it seemed he had truly gone back in time...

  Lü Chuan calmed down and became more determined. He knew what he had to do, and his emotions subsided. He stood up, looking at the person lying in front of him. Without medical treatment, saving him would be impossible, and even if he were saved, it would put himself in danger. Watching him suffer was unbearable, so it was better to end his suffering.

  Then Lü Bu used his sword to press against the man's heart, moistened his mouth and said: "Hmmm... I am Lü Bu Lü Fengxian, I am a pure Han Chinese, today let you know that you will die at whose hands." After finishing, he used force with his palm, and stabbed through the man's heart with one sword, ending the man's life.

  Lü Bu, now holding a sword, approached another person. The man had an arrow in his back and was already dead. Lü Bu knew that money was very important and that one needed strength to survive. So he took the valuables from these few people's bodies. He tied all the horses together, gathered his things, and prepared to leave. Because he didn't know if the other side had any more accomplices, he had to leave quickly.

  But when he saw Yan Ni again, he found that Yan Ni still had her eyes closed tightly, and her hands were grasping the horse's mane. Because her clothes were open, a pair of jade-like breasts were faintly visible, really tempting people.

  Lü Bu thought: In this chaotic era, in this chaotic place, any man who sees this woman will have evil intentions. So he pulled down a set of clothes from the headless corpse again and used a piece of cloth to wrap his short hair around. Looking at the sky getting dark, he cut off a large piece of horse meat from the hind leg of the dead horse with his sword. Then he rode another horse, leading Yan Ni's horse and two other horses towards the hill.

  The hill was not high or big, and the time it took to boil a cup of tea had passed. In front of them was a small thicket, surrounded by endless grasslands. If they really continued walking, night would fall completely. So the two found a slightly larger shrub, tied their horses to its branches, and then gathered some dry firewood, using their swords to skewer horse meat, preparing to roast it for dinner. But at this moment, Lü Bu was stunned.

  Yanni excitedly walked over with some dry firewood and added it to the horse meat, saying "Alright, we can light it up now."

  Lü Bu said gloomily: "What's used for ignition?"

  Yanni asked: "Don't you have a lighter? I remember you were smoking when you got on the car."

  Lü Bu smiled bitterly: "That was before the car accident, now there's nothing left."

  Yanni's originally excited expression was all gone, and she said in distress: "What to do? Eating steak at least has to be half-cooked, is this horse meat supposed to be eaten raw?"

  Lü Bu naturally refused to give up. Even if the ancients were backward, they wouldn't be without a way to make fire. So he stood up and began rummaging through the things he had seized. As he searched, he muttered to himself: "Four live horses, two knives, two swords, one spear, one bow, one quiver of arrows, two pieces of brocade, copper coins... pocket change..."

  "What? What is a 'jade girdle'?"

  Lü Bu pretended to be silly. He laughed and said, "Oh, nothing." But in his heart, he thought, these few gold bars can't let you know. So when talking about the gold bars, he deliberately spoke vaguely. Then he continued to mutter, "Half a bottle of water, dry rations are finished. What's this?" Lü Bu pulled out two things that looked like cigars, and two bags of grayish-white sand.

  Yanni curiously walked over, holding the thing and smelling it, finally saying: "This smells salty, this seems to be a wooden stick."

  Lü Bu picked up the greyish-white sand and sniffed it, then licked it with his tongue.

  Yanni looked at him like that. Felt disgusted: "Ugh... you're so disgusting."

  Lü Bu said with a bad temper: "Disgusting?! Next, you'll be eating my saliva, this is salt." He then continued to study the wooden strip. He found that there was a small joint on the strip, and he gently snapped it in two. With a puff of wind, a wisp of gray smoke emerged from inside. Lü Bu's thinking was very quick at this time, and he immediately exclaimed with joy: "Haha! It's a fire starter."

  Yanni also thought of it and happily shouted: "Quickly, quickly light the fire."

  Then the two of them piled up a heap of dry grass and blew gently on the sparks until they finally lit a fire.

  The two of them had been busy for half a day and finally ate their fill. The sky also darkened.

  The two of them calmed down and returned to their usual selves. Yan Ni sat in front of the bonfire with her hands around her knees, asking: "What's next?"

  Lü Bu lay on the ground with his eyes closed and said, "What can be done? Take it one step at a time. This is the grasslands, I don't know what era it is now, but I do know that the Southern Xiongnu are sometimes obedient and sometimes rebellious. The Xianbei people come to plunder every year. If you're not capable, then I'll just wait for death. As for you... Hehe... You might be a bit better off. At most, you'll be captured and become a sex slave. Maybe later on, that what's-his-name Cai or Ji will be yours."

  Yanni flared up again and angrily said: "That's enough, can't you speak more civilized?"

  Lü Bu sneered, "Civilization? Ha ha. There is no civilization here, only the strong preying on the weak." As he spoke, Lü Bu got up from the ground and walked to his horse, throwing the clothes he had stripped from the big Han man onto Yan Ni's body. He said, "You'd better put them on."

  Yanni picked up her clothes with disgust and asked: "What's wrong? What is this?"

  Lü Bu's mouth curled up in a sly smile and he said, "Dead man's clothes."

  Yanni was so frightened that she threw her clothes aside and screamed: "Ah... you're crazy."

  Lü Bu lay back down on the ground, speaking in a light tone: "If you don't want to be gang-raped, it's best to listen to me." He now understood why he had encountered two groups of people who wanted to kill him. He continued: "Do you know why those people wanted to kill me? Firstly, they took one look at my appearance and thought I was a barbarian. The Han people in the border regions must be very resentful towards barbarians. And then there's you - this is exactly what that old saying means: 'A beauty is a source of trouble.' That Lü Bu from earlier wanted to take you by force, and these four men also wanted to take you by force. The difference is, if one person takes you by force it's rape, but if four people take you by force it's gang-rape."

  Yanni heard his last words and almost fainted. She didn't say a word for the time being: "You..." But thinking back, it seemed what he said wasn't wrong either.

  When two people don't see eye-to-eye, there's nothing more to say.
