Chapter 10 — That Day of Reconciliation, the God of War Former Husband Resolved Not to Let Go

It was an early winter afternoon. The sky was gloomy and heavy, tiny flakes of snow drifting in the air. We went to a silkworm farmer's house in the suburbs to see a batch of premium silk that had just been harvested. On the way back, when the carriage passed a bend on the deserted mountain road, the axle suddenly broke! The experienced driver Trieu desperately tried his best to hold down the frightened horse, only to barely avoid the tragedy of overturning the vehicle. But the carriage also tilted completely to the side of the road, completely unable to continue moving. Even worse, snowflakes as large as goose feathers began to fall from the sky, a cold wind also arose, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped. Before there were no villages, then there were no shops, and the sky looked almost completely dark. Old Trieu was so impatient that he turned around, trying to fix the car, but the broken axle was clearly not something that could be repaired temporarily. "Miss, what should we do about this? The snow is getting bigger and bigger, it's getting dark and the road is getting harder to walk. What if we encounter..." Xuan Dao was so urgent that she was almost about to cry, but didn't dare to continue the second half of the sentence. My heart also sank a bit. In this wild mountainous place, with wind and snow filling the sky, two weak women plus an elderly driver, it was truly extremely dangerous. Just when we were at a loss for what to do, in the distance suddenly came the sound of fast and neat horse hooves, gradually coming closer from afar. Old Trieu vigilantly tightened his grip on the driving whip in his hand. Very quickly, a team of centaurs appeared in the wind and snow. There were about seven or eight people, all riding tall, handsome horses, wearing uniform dark armor, wearing helmets on their heads, and their bodies covered in wind and dust. They were obviously on a quick trip. The person in front had a tall and straight body, even in the middle of the wind and snow, he still sat extremely neatly on horseback. After seeing our carriage stop on the side of the road, their speed gradually slowed down. The leader held the reins and stopped the horse, his sharp eyes scanning the broken axle and the three of us. "What is up?" His voice came through the snow and wind, low and strong, carrying the majesty of someone who had been in a high position for many years. Old Trieu quickly stepped forward, clasped his hands and said: "This old man, this old man, is the driver of Van Thuong Cac. He was taking my family back to the city. Who would have thought that the axle of the car suddenly broke and was stuck here. It's this cold, is it really..." "Van Thuong Cac?" The other person seemed to be a little impressed with this name, his eyes went past Mr. Trieu, falling on the person being supported by Xuan Dao in the middle of the wind and snow. His eyes stopped on my face for a moment. That look carries scrutiny, but there is no malicious intent, on the contrary, there is a feeling of wisdom and experience in seeing through the world. The wind and snow were so strong, blowing so much that people could barely open their eyes. I couldn't see his specific appearance clearly, I only felt that his facial features were deep and clear, his temperament was calm and collected, he was definitely not an ordinary businessman. He pondered for a moment, then immediately decisively ordered: "A Vo, take two people to help this old man unload the things from the carriage and transfer them to the spare carriage behind us. A Van, give your horse to this lady's maid to ride." His eyes fell on her again. “The wind and snow are too strong, it's not convenient to ride a horse.” "If the lady doesn't mind, please ride with me on the same horse, first take you to the front station to avoid the snow, and then think of a solution." His arrangements were neat and tidy, leaving no room for doubt, carrying a natural innate ability to control the situation. Xuan Dao looked at me a little hesitantly. We quickly pondered in our hearts. Given the current situation, if we do not receive this help, it is very likely that we will be frozen to death in this wilderness. Even though the other person has many strengths, looking at the way he speaks and behaves, he seems to be a decent person or a guardian with status, not like a bad guy. Moreover, he also mentioned "transportation station", which must be someone walking on the official path. I stabilized my spirit, slightly bowed my knees and bowed to the leader: "Thank you very much for your help, this young lady is very grateful. It's just that men and women are different, riding on the same horse is really inconvenient..."
