Chapter 3: The Young Son of Dong Zhuo

In his previous life, he was an orphan. Although the villagers were very kind to him, Dong Fei always felt that something was missing. Now he understands that what he lacked was the feeling of home. After being reborn, although the burly man who seemed to be his father did not like him, and his mother left this world at the time of his birth, he finally has a home.

After Dong Zhuo's death, Maiwu was captured by Lü Bu, and the Dong family was completely exterminated

However, his grandmother dotes on him greatly. Although she is blind, it does not affect her affection for Dong Yi. Besides his grandmother, there is also a mischievous older sister named Dong Yuan. She is already twelve years old but possesses a strong sense of curiosity. Her favorite thing to do is to play with Dong Yi's little JJ while he is asleep

Dong Fei does not read many books, but he enjoys listening to storytelling, especially the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as narrated by Yuan Kuocheng

In light of this, how should one protect the family and safeguard the grandmother in the face of the impending chaos?

***

To be honest, Dong Lei also feels that he is somewhat unattractive

This is called hiding one's talents

In the narrative, Li Ru seems to have always accompanied Dong Zhuo, and he appears to be Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. However, Dong Fei did not expect that Li Ru would actually become the husband of Dong Yuan. Moreover, judging by Dong Yuan's tone, she seems to be quite satisfied with this person

Grandmother attempted to entice, but was not successful

It is evident that the family members are quite afraid of grandmother

However, Dong Fei does not care about these matters. In his view, as long as this 'Fei' is not the same as that 'Fei', it is already sufficient. Moreover, he does not understand what 'Fei' means; he only knows that if it is still 'Fei', it would indeed be inauspicious.

When *Tu* spoke this sentence in a soft and delicate voice, Dong Yuan immediately realized that the person before her, Ah Chou, was far from ordinary

The eyes appear somewhat elongated, and the facial features are also somewhat wrinkled together

Fortunately, he is very healthy; his current physique is even better than that of his youth. At not yet four years old, he appears to be like a six or seven-year-old child, robust as a bull. Moreover, Dong Fei has discovered an advantage of this body: it possesses innate strength. His slender arms seem to harbor boundless power. On the day of his fourth birthday, Dong Fei effortlessly drew a one-stone bow, astonishing his sister Dong Yuan, who was playing with him.

Dong Fei felt very dejected, for he knew that the appearance of Li Ru signified that Dong Zhuo had seemingly taken a significant step along the trajectory of history

The fourth daughter, Dong Yuan, is now nearly sixteen years old. It is said that after winter, she will be married. The suitor is a scholar named Li Ru. It is reported that he had previously served under Dong Zhuo, possessing a meticulous mind and great loyalty, making him one of the few strategists under Dong Zhuo's command.

Elder sister Dong Yu has never met Dong Fei. She married a Qiang chieftain before he was born and went to the Western Regions with that Qiang tribe. Heaven knows where she is now. In any case, in Dong Fei's memory, elder sister has never returned.

This somewhat caused Dong Zhuo, who had come with great enthusiasm, to return in disappointment. Although he no longer insisted that Dong Fei was a monster, he still felt quite displeased. Furthermore, Dong Fei's appearance was not charming, which diminished much of Dong Zhuo's joy.

However, it is truly unlikely for him to identify who is who. After all, he has a human head, not a computer.

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," Dong Lie's favorite segment is the battle of the three heroes against Lü Bu at Hulao Pass. The main background of that story seems to be inextricably linked to his current identity as an elder. It is remembered that after the great battle at Hulao Pass, Dong Zhuo relocated the capital to Chang'an, was granted the title of Marquis of Mai, and built a fort in Mai, known as Wansui Fort, also referred to as Mai Fort.

He lay beside his grandmother, deep in thought. To be honest, his understanding of the stories from the Three Kingdoms came solely from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as narrated by Yuan Kuocheng. As for the Records of the Three Kingdoms, he had never read it, and the characters from the Three Kingdoms that he remembered were merely Liu, Guan, Zhang, Zhao, Ma, Huang, Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao, as well as famous figures like Zhou Yu and Sun Quan

He is even less knowledgeable about the methods of steelmaking and the techniques of papermaking

Unfortunately, the current Dong Fei is merely an infant, an infant who cannot speak

Grandmother's hair is gray and white, and her face is marked with many wrinkles Since she adopted Dong Fei, she has taken care of him with utmost tenderness

Thinking of this, Dong Lei couldn't help but glance at his grandmother, who was napping beside him

A warmth surged in her heart, and Dong Li almost cried

The Dong family of Lintao is a local powerful clan

Dong Fei did not know, but with each passing day, he felt as if the pressure on him increased a little more. Yet he was only four years old; what could a four-year-old child do? Although he possessed the thoughts of someone nearly thirty, he was confined to the body of a four-year-old. Dong Fei finally understood what it meant to have the heart willing but the strength insufficient. He could only continue to wait in silence

As for the reasons behind this, no one can guess. After all, in Dong Fei's heart, Dong Zhuo is not a good person like the books portray. Moreover, the fact that Dong Zhuo even attempted to drown him at birth is enough to make Dong Fei feel extremely dissatisfied

Regarding the person Li Ru, Dong Lei has an impression of him

Could it be that Dong Taishi from the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," who was later plotted against and killed by his adopted son Lu Bu over a woman?

This year is the third year of the Xiping era

However, at Dong Fei's request, Dong Yuan agreed to help him conceal this matter

Third Sister Dong Que, very understanding, was the most favored by Dong Zhuo, but unfortunately passed away young

Dong Yuan is the fourth in the Dong family, with three older sisters above her, all born of Dong Zhuo's legitimate wife

However, he has never called Dong Zhuo "father," which makes Dong Zhuo quite unhappy

However, Dong Fei does not find anything frightening about his grandmother at all. After several months of interaction, he feels that she is very kind.

The first sentence spoken was: "Hello, Grandma." This made the old lady so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, laughing with immense joy

In this state of unease, Dong Lei grew day by day

For most characters, Dong Li is merely a vague impression

At the age of thirty, Dong Fei is well aware of a principle: the bird that sticks its head out gets shot. As chaos is about to descend, the less attention one draws, the greater the chance of survival, and simultaneously, the greater the possibility of protecting his grandmother

The more Dong Feiyue thought, the more uneasy he felt in his heart

Second sister Dong Zhao is still at home, but she is already married. Her husband is named Niu Fu, who has been working under Dong Zhuo, who has already held the position of Xiyu Xusi Xiaowei. Now he has been promoted to Beibu Duwei, is quite capable, and enjoys great trust from Dong Zhuo

But what about Dong Fei?

At that time, I only felt exhilarated while watching, but now that he is in the midst of it, I realize how magnificent those leaders and the library corner truly are. Not to mention anything else, just their intellect is simply more impressive than a computer; each one is knowledgeable about astronomy and geography, and with a shake of their powerful physique, they command attention from all directions. How imposing, how formidable; no wonder they thrive so remarkably.

Dong Fei crawled up, making a sound like "yi ya yi ya," and reached her grandmother's side

Having died once, Dong Li is not afraid of death

I will never allow my grandmother to be harmed, nor will I allow my family to be harmed. This is my home, and no one shall touch it

In this household, most people regard him with suspicion and do not hold him in affection

Thus, he accepted the name Dong Fei, while also embracing the nickname A Chou.

The hair has a slight dull yellow hue, the skin is very dark, and it is covered with wrinkles that resemble fish scales

Over time, Dong Li also became accustomed to it

The small bookstore in the county town is not devoid of novels pirated from the internet, many of which are stories about the Three Kingdoms

Dong Fei was terrified. Does that mean he will still meet an untimely death in the future? Although I cannot recall exactly when Dong Zhuo lost his life, I believe I would not have been too old at that time

The chubby little hand touched Grandma's face, and Grandma smiled in her sleep, murmuring, "Ah Chou, be careful not to catch a cold"

Moreover, having just established a home and with a loving grandmother, one cannot simply stand by and watch family members perish. I recall that in the storytelling, it was mentioned that the grandmother was killed after the fall of Maiwu, and even her body could not be preserved.

The term "俷" refers to meanings such as to abandon or to corrupt

This little flirt, who knows who will dare to marry her in the future

Ancient people had the saying "Do not be overly attached to virtue"; overall, this term is not a positive one.

There is a very large estate that houses several hundred servants and slaves. My father, Dong Zhuo, is the Prefect of Guangwu. In his youth, he was also known as a chivalrous hero, capable of drawing a bow with both hands, well-versed in martial arts, and possessing extraordinary strength. Even the neighboring Qiang people hold him in great respect

Although her eyesight is gone, grandmother's heart remains perceptive. She understands that in this family, apart from herself and Dong Yuan, everyone else regards Dong Fei as a monster, which is why her care for him is meticulous, ensuring that even in sleep, Dong Fei is by her side

However, upon reconsideration, what use is there in being anxious now? He is currently an infant who cannot even speak. Moreover, even if he were to speak, who would believe him? It is likely that even his loving grandmother might not be able to believe his words

He would absolutely be unwilling to bear the blame even after his death

Every time Dong Fei protests angrily, to most people's ears, that protest is merely a series of infant cries

Never mind, there will always be a way when the car reaches the mountain. For now, all he can do is wait for the day when he grows up to arrive

Apart from having listened to the storytelling version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and knowing some events that may occur in the future but cannot be confirmed (after all, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a work of fiction), I am truly ashamed, to the utmost degree, that I cannot even recite a complete Tang poem or Song lyric. Had I known I would be reborn in the era of the Three Kingdoms, I should have purchased a complete set of the Encyclopædia Britannica to memorize.

In contrast, within the Dong family, apart from the grandmother, only this elder sister is closest to Dong Fei. Moreover, the person who understands Dong Fei the best is not his loving grandmother, but his sister Dong Yuan

Wait, Dong Zhuo

How much longer until the grand Yellow Turban Rebellion?
