The weather was getting colder and colder, and when frost and snow hit, the woods were blown away.

People in the small settlement had to hide in wooden houses and could not go out to hunt for the time being. However, each family had a certain amount of food reserves and everyone took care of each other, so it was not difficult to survive this winter.

During this period, Zhou Yang has been hiding in the ugly girl's room to recuperate. Her diet and daily life are almost done by the ugly girl, and she can't help but feel good about her.

I originally thought the other person's face was ugly, but now I think that she is kind and simple, she is the most beautiful woman in the world.

"Have you asked the girl's name yet?" Zhou Yang finally got rid of his fear of grudges and asked her.

"I don't know what my surname is, they all call me Abi." The ugly woman replied in an awkward and strange accent.

Zhou Yang silently recited the name without a surname a few times, and stared at the woman in front of him with more serious eyes.

I saw her clear and distinct outline, just like a jade carving made by an artist with a magical craftsmanship. Her nose was narrow and straight, and her slightly curled thin lips were curved and horns were curved. When she smiled, two deep dimples would be exposed, which concealed many beautiful places because of her uneven skin.

The most rare thing is that she has a pair of deep blue eyes, as if she can bring people into another world that can see, mysterious and charming.

When she didn't smile, she had a strong melancholy temperament.

"Where are you?" Abi waited for a long time before asking.

Zhou Yang secretly scolded himself for being confused, quickly reported his name, and asked, "Does Miss Abi know where she is from?"

Abi didn't know who her biological father was, but only remembered that she was raised by her mother, and her mother was the former Loulan, which is now Shanshan Kingdom.

Later, due to the war, my mother died of a plague. Fortunately, she met Hua Tuo, so she was able to survive.

As for the bumps on the face, they are the sequelae left by the plague.

This small settlement was built by Dong Zhuo's burning of Luoyang and some refugees themselves. Of course, these refugees were unwilling to live in Chang'an and could only live in seclusion in such a forest.

Hua Tuo and A Bi were discovered by picking herbs nearby some time ago. Later, I gradually realized that this place was indeed a good place to avoid chaos, so I decided to stay for the time being.

After she talked about her life experience, she didn't feel much sad. She was naturally optimistic and cheerful, making people feel like she was listening to a story.

"Where are you?" Abi asked with a smile.

Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment. No matter how hard he could not say anything, no one would believe it even if he said it. He couldn't tell her that he was from the 21st century!

The understanding Abi thought he had a past that he couldn't bear to recall, so he didn't dare to ask, so he changed the subject and said, "Do you know why, my mother has long brown-red hair, but I don't?"

"Why?" Zhou Yang said in surprise.

"Because my mother told me that my father was a Han man." Abi said proudly, "so I am sure my father must not die yet, but I don't know who he is."

Zhou Yang vaguely felt that the ugly woman's father must have something to do with him, but at this time he was in a good mood and didn't want to think too much in his mind. He always felt that such ordinary and beautiful days would soon pass.

In addition, I just escaped from the gates of hell, so I cherish every moment here.

More than half a month later, the wind and snow finally became smaller.

Zhou Yang's body also recovered most of his body, stretched out his muscles and bones, feeling comfortable all over.

After experiencing this death experience, he felt like he was reborn. Many things that he couldn't understand before were now suddenly enlightened.

A Bi kept an optimistic attitude every day. As soon as the wind and snow stopped, she happily pulled Zhou Yang out to play with snow. Hua Tuo began to teach everyone to practice the Five Animal Play.

Whether adults or children, they followed him curiously at the beginning and fiddled with the sport.

As time goes by, everyone can feel that their physical fitness and spirit are getting better and better, and they will follow the morning exercise more seriously.

Abi said that it is the best season for hunting, because some animals will start to come out for food.

So he wrapped a sheepskin blanket, tied it with sharpened branches on his chest, put it on a white cashmere felt hat, and a few geese feathers were inserted on it. He took out a bow and arrow from the back of the wooden door, and excitedly pulled Zhou Yang to the woods together.

Zhou Yang looked at her strange outfit and guessed, "This must be left by your mother, right?"

Abi smiled and said, "So smart."

The two of them searched around the woods with deep snow marks step by step.

Zhou Yang had such a sharp sense of emotion. He discovered the small movement not far away and immediately gestured to Abi.

With his hunting experience, Abi approached quietly with suspicion. Sure enough, a frightened gray rabbit noticed the crisis and fled quickly.

"Swoosh!"

The arrow flew away and failed to hit.

Abi looked back with her mouth flattened, and Zhou Yang shrugged, expressing helplessness.

Although they didn't catch prey all day, the two still felt that time passed quickly, and Abi always boasted that her mother was a good hunter back then. She just followed Hua Tuo and spent most of her time studying herbs, doing experiments, and so on that she forgot all the archery skills she practiced when she was a child.

While the two were walking back, Zhou Yang suddenly stopped and grabbed Abi and squatted down together.

I saw some new faces coming from the small settlement. They surrounded Hua Tuo and the hunters who had just returned from hunting. They didn't seem malicious, but just spent some silver to buy some animal skins.

However, Zhou Yang recognized from their horse seals that these were all war horses from Xiliang, which means that the other party should have come from Chang'an City.

Abi saw that his face was heavy and did not dare to disturb him, but just watched silently from the side.

After buying the animal skin, the strangers did not leave immediately, but instead found many topics to chat with the hunters. Even Hua Tuo wanted to leave on excuses, but one of them started talking for a long time.

Zhou Yang guessed that these people were buying animal skins on the surface, but the visitors were not good, and I wonder if they were coming for him.

Logically speaking, the little emperor has been captured and returned to Chang'an. What's the point of coming here to find someone?

But these people don’t look like subordinates of either Li Guo.

So he decided not to show up for the time being and continue to wait and see, but he was afraid that Ah Bi would make a sound, so he kept stroking her back, hoping that she would not worry too much.

It was not until evening that those people had to leave.

But for the sake of repetition, Zhou Yang asked Abi to go back first and continue to stay in the woods to investigate.

When it was late at night, the people came back quietly, taking advantage of everyone's sleep to check around.

Zhou Yang thought to himself that these guys were indeed ill-behaved, and at the same time, he held the Tiger Roaring Iron Spear in his hand, not knowing whether he could fight in his current situation.

"There is movement!" One of the boys cast a sharp look into the jungle.

When Zhou Yang saw that the insects had crawled under his feet, which attracted the attention of the other party, he felt bad, so he had to stand up with his teeth and see what these people were thinking before making plans.

There were only four people on the other side, but they all looked extraordinary. When they saw someone coming out, they immediately held down their weapons alertly.

But when they saw it clearly, they relaxed. The young man actually smiled and said, "Prefect Zhou?"

Zhou Yang said in surprise: "Who are you?"

The young man said, "In Xia Ye Xuan, he is currently training under Brother Peng's intelligence group."

It turned out to be someone sent by Peng Yiyuan, and these Xiliang war horses were just their disguise.

It seems that the intelligence troop in Luoyang is developing well. Although this kid is young, he looks vicious and old. He is still the leader of this team and probably has a good ability.

"By the way, what did Brother Peng ask you to do?" Zhou Yang asked.

"We have received the latest news that Yuanduo, the North Dizhi, has finally sent troops and is currently stationed in Gaoling."

Although Ye Xuan said it lightly, Zhou Yang knew that Zhiyuanduo and Li Jue were in a cooperative relationship. Such a mobilization of troops to help would only put Chang'an in a more chaotic situation.

Unexpectedly, the civil war between Li and Guo was much more intense than expected.

Ye Xuan continued: "So Mr. Xun suggested that Brother Peng send someone to help Zhou Taishou. We learned that you are no longer in Chang'an, so we had to search around here with a lucky mentality."

Zhou Yang thought that with these four new forces, he would still have a chance to retake Emperor Xian of Han.

As long as you stop meeting the terrifying swordsman Ding Xiao, you will not be so lucky. It is impossible for a person to always rely on miracles in his life.

"What's going on in Chang'an City now?" Zhou Yang has always been reluctant to think about this problem, mainly because he was easily defeated by Ding Xiao and even almost died. Now that he has these four new forces, the situation is very different, and he can't help but want to try to retake Emperor Xian of Han again.

Ye Xuan said: "Chang'an is now in chaos, and all the city gates are under high alert. They are only allowed to enter and not leave. The people in the city are panic, but Li and Guo have not yet fought head-on. Instead, they each sent assassins to assassin secretly."

Zhou Yang couldn't help but shudder when he thought of Ding Xiao's extraordinary swordsmanship.

Ye Xuan said again: "But Mr. Xun believes that Guo Si seems to have the disadvantage in this civil war, but he has no intention of retreating at all. He must have left behind."

Zhou Yang used to believe that Guo Si's tricks were based on Du Lan's divination skills.

It was not until he met Ding Xiao that he realized that it was just Guo Si to paralyze Li Jue. It is probably extremely difficult for Li Jue to reach an agreement with Zhi Yuanduo. This shows that these two people are not brave and unscheming.

"Help me do something." Zhou Yang finally figured it out.

I worked hard to sneak into Chang'an to take away Emperor Xian of Han.

But after doing so many things, he ended in failure. How could he be willing to do this? After returning, wouldn’t Cao Cao look down on him? How could he face everyone waiting for him to come back in Luoyang?

This period of time living in the forest will be my last escape from the problem.
