Chapter 150 Peaceful years
The sun rises and sets, the clouds roll and disperse, and more than a month has passed in Jingzhou since the end of the Wu-Shu War.

This month has been the most comfortable and enjoyable time Wang Yao has had since he came to this strange world.

Of course, there are four things that still need some time and effort to briefly describe.

First: The stupid and sinister villain Zhang Shao did not come to settle the score with him as Wang Yao had expected. This made Wang Yao, a conspiracy theorist, think that Zhang Shao was plotting something disgusting again.

Second: The strange thing is that Zhuge Liang seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, and he completely disappeared. They had never met each other since the canyon. Somehow, Wang Yao and Zhuge Liang seemed to have become two magnets with the same poles facing each other. They lived in the same city, but they could never meet.

Third: Liu Bei left Jingzhou for the land of Eastern Wu half a month ago and held a friendly meeting with the Wu high-level officials on the "future development and principles of relations between the two countries". At the same time, in the street talk, it was rumored that in order to strengthen the relationship between Wu and Shu, Liu Bei seemed to be planning to marry the eldest lady of Jiangdong (this was a rather unexpected news for Wang Yao to hear), but no one knew how far the progress was and whether the eldest lady would agree.

Fourth: After the war, Zhao Yun left Jingzhou with the energy crystals that he and Wang Yao had secretly collected. His destination was unknown, but before leaving, Zhao Yun repeatedly promised Wang Yao that he would be back within two months at the latest.

What about Wang Yao himself?
Apart from clocking in at the soldiers' camp every day and occasionally drinking with Ma Chao, Wei Yan and other centurions, Wang Yao was often dragged out for sparring by the bored Guan Yu. Although he was always beaten badly by Guan Yu, his boxing and martial arts improved a lot over time. At least when wearing only a violent T-shirt, Wang Yao could now hold out for 30 seconds under Guan Yu's偃月大刀.

What? Food?
That's because you haven't seen the scene when Wang Yao first practiced with Guan Yu!

At that time, with the help of the Red Hare warhorse, Guan Yu's earth-shaking slash of the sword was like the roar of a tiger and the roar of a dragon, which split a hundred-meter-long gully in the arena. Wang Yao was seriously injured and nearly died, and the surrounding soldiers were frightened so much that they turned pale and scared to death.

Of course, Wang Yao's title of "No. 1 Soldier in the Canyon" became widely known among the three armies of Shu Kingdom because of this sparring match, earning him a lot of prestige and fame.

Among the soldiers, Wang Yao is now the most famous one after Su An many years ago!

All in all, everything seems to be moving in the right direction.

Now, Wang Yao has become famous, and even when he goes to the market to buy vegetables, vendors will greet him enthusiastically.

"Hey, Xiaoyao, are you here to buy groceries again?"

"Come here, Auntie. I'll give you a discount on the vegetables that were just harvested this morning!"

"It's really amazing. He became a captain at such a young age, and he also knows how to manage a household."

"Hey, Old Zhang, Xiaoyao hasn't got married yet, right? Today happens to be the community day. You might as well take this opportunity to introduce your daughter to someone in the evening. If you're lucky, you might be able to marry someone rich and powerful. Then you don't have to get up early and work in the dark to sell pork anymore."

"Well, considering my daughter's looks, I think I'd better forget it. Besides, I heard that Wang Yao seems to have a boyfriend."

"Oh? Which scholarly daughter is it?"

"How should I know? I just happened to hear the soldiers who were bullying the other side's five-dog army say it."

Wang Yao is still very satisfied with his current life.

Compared to running around day and night in the canyon battlefield, with no humanity at all, and brutal killings of good and evil, he prefers this kind of comfortable life as if he has accomplished his mission and is enjoying a peaceful and quiet life.

After all, Wang Yao is a young man from Earth in the 21st century, and he has a stronger desire and passion for peace.

After spending 70 copper coins to buy the food and daily necessities needed for the day in the market, Wang Yao walked towards his residence. As he walked, he thought about the "Community Day" that the uncles and aunts in the market were chatting about enthusiastically.

The so-called community day is a festival for ancient farmers to worship the god of the land, usually accompanied by a carnival banquet. In the 21st century, people are keen on festivals such as "520" and "Valentine's Day", but beautiful traditional festivals like this are rarely known. Wang Yao only learned about it when he went to "work" in the barracks this morning and heard the soldiers talk about it.
When Wang Yao returned to his residence and just arrived at the door, he saw Huang Zhong sitting by the gate, tinkering with his giant cannon, just like usual.

The old man doesn't have any special hobbies on weekdays, so this is the only interest he has.

"Uncle." Wang Yao called out as usual and entered the house. Huang Zhong looked up at Wang Yao and nodded indifferently.

A month ago, under Luna's "mediation", Wang Yao and Huang Zhong reached an unwritten agreement: they kept to themselves, Huang Zhong no longer laid mines everywhere like a duck laying eggs, and Wang Yao treated him with great respect and obedience.

To this day, although the relationship between them has not reached the level of close friends regardless of age difference, they can be said to be getting along peacefully.

The only thing that made Wang Yao a little depressed was that this old man was still guarding Luna at all times like a wolf guard. His stubbornness was simply outrageous.

As a result, throughout this month, Wang Yao never had the chance to be alone with Luna. Let alone physical intimacy, they could only hold hands a few times. Whenever he made some small movements, Huang Zhong would immediately appear like a ghost, which not only ruined the mood, but also made the progress of conquering the girl stagnate. This made the originally cozy and comfortable days become a little unsatisfactory.

"I'm home?"

When they arrived at the kitchen and passed by the living room, Luna's sweet voice was heard. The white-haired girl came over obediently and took the two baskets of vegetables and meat in Wang Yao's hands.

"Why did you buy so many vegetables today?" Feeling that the basket was much heavier than usual, Luna couldn't help but ask while blinking her beautiful eyes.

"Today is the community day, so of course the dinner should be more substantial." Wang Yao looked at the girl in front of him as she habitually brushed the hair that fell by her face behind her small ears, with a hint of happiness in her smile.

By chance, after learning that Wang Yao preferred girls with long hair, Luna quietly started growing her hair. Today, her smooth hair has grown past her shoulders, and against her beautiful face as white as snow, she looks even more beautiful.

"So that's how it is. No wonder the military advisor said this morning that we don't have to train tonight." Luna looked as if she had realized something, and then she came over excitedly, as happy as a child: "Then I want to eat soy sauce rice, pepper pork belly, dry pot garlic eel, salted egg yolk shrimp tofu, sweet and sour vegetarian spare ribs, okra omelette, satay pork and mushrooms, shrimp paste water spinach, and Tianma fish head soup!"

"Okay, I get it. If you eat so much, be careful not to get fat." Wang Yao smiled dotingly, resisting the urge to touch the girl's cute white head.

Under Wang Yao's training, bah, I mean, cooking skills, Luna has now become a complete foodie. She can name a lot of dishes that don't belong to this world at will.

Afterwards, the two of them walked into the kitchen. As usual, Luna, who was in charge of helping out, squatted aside and carefully washed the water spinach, while Wang Yao prepared the ingredients and seasonings while telling various jokes to amuse Luna.

"One day, the little white rabbit was foraging in the forest and was caught by a big bear. However, the big bear did not eat it. Instead, it asked the little white rabbit, "Do you shed your hair?" The little white rabbit was puzzled and said, "No!" The big bear was very happy and said, "Really? That's great! I just had a bowel movement."

The sunlight shines through the window, illuminating the tidy kitchen. The girl's gentle laughter can be heard frequently, making the place seem very warm.

In fact, ever since Huang Zhong moved in, this small kitchen has become a rare space for the two of them to be alone.

At this time, Wang Yao kept telling jokes, but his eyes kept lingering on the girl from time to time.

Seeing Luna washing the ingredients in the basin seriously, her fair and beautiful face with a sweet smile, and the air was filled with the girl's charming body fragrance, which made Wang Yao feel itchy. "By the way, Luna," Wang Yao suddenly called out.

"Hmm?" The girl responded without turning her head, and continued to wash the vegetables in the basin carefully. A few drops of clear and transparent water splashed on her face and slowly flowed over her snow-white skin, as if even her face was so beautiful that it was almost transparent.

"Look, isn't today the community day? There will be a ceremony to worship the land god in the city tonight, so it should be very lively. Shall I take you out for a walk?"

"all right."

Seeing Luna agreed without hesitation, Wang Yao was naturally secretly delighted, and at the same time added: "Don't take me with you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Luna stopped what she was doing, turned her pretty face to look at Wang Yao, her watery eyes moving with a hint of a smile: "What bad idea are you coming up with again?"

"No, it's just that we haven't been alone together for a long time." Wang Yao puffed up his face to pretend to be rich.

Luna smiled and gave Wang Yao a very charming look to comfort him. Then she continued to wash the vegetables in the basin with a little helplessness: "Uncle won't agree."

"In our hometown, there was a popular simple and interesting game." After a moment's silence, Wang Yao's meaningful voice suddenly sounded slowly behind him.

"Ah?" Luna turned around again, and Wang Yao's slightly cunning smile was reflected in her confused eyes.

After the sumptuous and delicious dinner, the three of them were full and satisfied. Huang Zhong stood up first and prepared to tinker with his artillery as usual. At this moment, Wang Yao suddenly spoke.

"Well, uncle, today is the community day. There will be a banquet in the city square tonight. Wei Yan and several other captains want to invite me out."

"Then go ahead." Huang Zhong said indifferently. He didn't bother to care about this little soldier.
"But." Wang Yao looked troubled and said, "I haven't finished my housework yet, the pots and pans haven't been washed, and the floor hasn't been mopped for a few days."

Huang Zhong paused, then sat back in his seat, narrowed his eyes and stared at Wang Yao: "You mean, you, a soldier, are going out to attend the banquet, and you want me and my girl, two heroes, to help you with the housework?"

"Is it really not possible?" Wang Yao scratched his head in distress, as if thinking for a while, and then said: "How about this, let's play a game, and the loser must stay home and do housework tonight, how about it?"

Hearing this, Huang Zhong sneered. How could a hero be so childish as to play a game with a soldier just because of a little housework? You can do it if you want, I don't care.
"What game? I want to play too!"

As a result, before Huang Zhong could proudly refuse, Luna came over, looking eager to try.

Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the girl's happy smile, and swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He could only say angrily: "Tell me what you want to say."

"This game is actually very simple. People in my hometown call it rock-paper-scissors."

Next, Wang Yao briefly explained the rules of the game to the two of them.

After listening to the game process, Huang Zhong was even more disdainful. What kind of game is this? Isn't it just a gambling method that relies on luck?

Huang Zhong didn't want to play, but Luna kept urging him, and Huang Zhong couldn't bear to spoil the girl's fun. He recalled that in the past, this soldier with excellent cooking skills was busy running around like a servant, and it didn't seem too much to help him with housework occasionally, right?

What's more, this game seems simple but also relatively fair, so I just agreed.

It all depends on luck, who is afraid of who?
then
In a decisive duel, Huang Zhong lost immediately after playing the "cloth" hand.

Because Luna and Wang Yao used scissors at the same time.

"You can go now if you accept the loss." As if he didn't want to see Wang Yao's smug smile, Huang Zhong waved his hand impatiently, acknowledging the validity of the bet.

Although the old man is stubborn, he is an elder who values ​​integrity very much.

Afterwards, Wang Yao happily packed up and went out with brisk steps.

"It won't be so good next time." Huang Zhong glared at Wang Yao's back, then turned around and said to Luna in a gentle voice, "There's nothing I can do, little girl. I'll go wash the dishes. Can you help me wipe the floor?"

As heroes of superior status, they naturally would not participate in such festive carnival activities for civilians, so even if Luna was one of the winners, she would stay at home with them.

"Okay." The white-haired girl responded obediently as usual, turned around to get the cleaning tools from the storage room, then lowered her head and started cleaning.

But not long after, Luna suddenly cried out "Ah", as if she remembered something important.

"What's wrong?" Huang Zhong asked, poking his head out of the kitchen.

"I totally forgot. Although the military advisor said this morning that there is no need for training today, he asked me to go to his place tonight." Luna stuck out her pink tongue at Huang Zhong with a guilty and playful look.

"Why don't you go quickly?" Huang Zhong shook his head helplessly, but his expression was as gentle as that of a kind father.

"But housework..." Luna looked at Huang Zhong with some embarrassment, and was hesitant to speak.

"Uncle, I'm not old enough to need someone to take care of me. Please go quickly. The military advisor must have something important to do."

Hearing this, Luna finally smiled again.

"Uncle, I'm leaving now!"

The huge hall was deserted, quiet and a little deserted. Huang Zhong walked back to the kitchen and started washing dishes again in silence.

After a while, the old man who was standing in front of the sink washing dishes suddenly touched his chin, his expression looking a little depressed and confused.

"Why, it feels like something is wrong?"
