Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 158

Sishui County, Huaiyin County.

In the early morning of dawn, the dim light shines through the branches and shines on the ground.

The cold wind blows from all directions, making a "rustling" sound around.

On a wide open space, stands a lonely grave, and in front of the lonely grave, there is a young man sitting leaning against it.

The boy looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with disheveled hair, looking at the tombstone with blurred eyes, and said nothing.

This situation, other than horror, really makes people unable to find the right words to describe it.

Just half a year ago, the teenager's mother died of illness, and he chose this open space specially to bury his mother.

Although he was penniless at that time, the burial place he chose for his mother was very spacious, and the surrounding area was large enough to accommodate thousands of families.

This made the neighbors laugh at him, tease him, and even insult him, but he didn't care.

Three months ago, the head of the pavilion who went to the countryside heard about the boy and valued him very much. He took him back to his home and took care of him.

However, the pavilion chief's wife didn't like to see him very much. Every meal time, she always mocked him for eating free food.

But the boy still didn't care, he should eat and sleep.

Until yesterday, in order to drive him away, the pavilion chief's wife deliberately opened the meal in advance, and when he ate, the table was already empty.

So in a rage, the boy came here.

Although the surroundings looked terrifying, there was no expression of fear on the boy's face.

After a while, he stood up and stretched his frozen body, straightened his tattered robe, bowed to the tombstone, and said with dry lips, "Mother! Sooner or later, Xin'er will prove to them that Xin'er You don't eat free food!"

After speaking, he turned and left the cemetery.

Time passed quickly, the boy walked out of the woods, and a slowly flowing river could be seen in front of him.

This big river is the Huaiyin River, and a dozen miles further downstream is Huaiyin County.

The boy didn't intend to go to the county seat, but just walked a few hundred meters downstream along the river bank, and then turned to another small river branch, and the wooden house by the river was the boy's home.

He has lived here alone since his mother died.

Until returning from the pavilion chief's house, the wooden house still maintained its original appearance.

On the other side of the river was a village of only a few families, all of whom were tenants of a wealthy gentry in the village.

Originally, the boy and his mother also lived in the village, but they could not work because of illness, so they could only move to this wooden house and live in poverty.

At this time, the sun had just come out, and some tenants had already gone out to work.

The boy returned to the wooden house, ready to light a fire and cook.

But when he opened the grain bag, he found that it was empty, and the half bag of corn in his memory had long since disappeared.

The young man panicked, and quickly searched the house for a while. Except for some old clothes and old clay pots, there was nothing to eat in the house.

This made him a little frustrated.

"The Qin law is strict, and it stands to reason that no one will steal. Why is there no grain in the house?"

Just when the young man was puzzled, there was a "squeak" sound in the room. He turned his head and saw several mice of different fat and thin, looking around.

"Ah!"

The young man let out a "huh", shook his head and smiled wryly: "Han Xin, Han Xin, you are presumptuous, but now you are bullied by a few mice, what a fate!"

After finishing speaking, he collapsed powerlessly on the ground and posed in a large font.

Looking at the dark roof, Han Xin was full of thoughts. He was very confused about the future and didn't know what to do.

From the moment he picked up the book of war in the mountains, he believed that sooner or later he would be able to stand out.

However, the reality gave him a severe blow.

The Qin Dynasty "taught officials as teachers". If you want to enter the official career, you have to find an official teacher, learn Qin law, and then be promoted by the big family. Similarly, if you want to join the army, you must reach the legal age.

That is to say, it is very difficult for Ye Luzi like him to stand out as a minor.

But my fate is up to me.

Han Xin is very confident in himself, not only playing with a sword all day long, but also acting dissolutely, making him a well-known "Internet celebrity" boy in all directions.

It is precisely because of his small reputation in the countryside that the pavilion chief came here admiringly.

I thought it would be Maxima meeting Bole, but it turned out that the jungler met Li Bai.

If you can come back.
Cough, cough. In fact, our "Soldier Saint" is not that miserable, after all, it is the late stage.

Lying on the ground for a while, Han Xin finally got up. After all, it is better to live than to die. No matter how poor and destitute, we still have to eat.

Although no food was found, how can there be no fishing tools by the river.

He skillfully took out a simple fishing rod from under the bed, fixed the fishing line and hook again, and left the wooden house with the fishing rod on his shoulders.

As for bait, as long as you find a relatively fertile open space and toss a few times, you can use earthworms.

When everything was ready, Han Xin chose a spot he used to fish frequently and started fishing with a pole.

At this time, the sky had begun to turn white, and a group of children in shabby clothes were playing by the river. Even in early winter, they were all wearing thin clothes.

Although their hands and feet were black and blue from the cold, these children didn't care, and they still ran with their partners sweating profusely.

Perhaps only by running can they feel warm.

Fishing is a job of both skill and luck. Although Han Xin is pretentious, it is not so easy to eat fish.

Waiting is the most exhausting thing. In order to make himself less hungry and cold, Han Xin randomly grabbed some leaves and withered grass to cover his body, and at the same time diverted his attention.

Turn your eyes to the children on the other side of the river.

At this moment, a child about five or six years old was holding a piece of black corn-bread in his hand, and was gnawing on it while running.

As a result, he didn't run a few steps before he fell like a dog, causing the cornbread in his hand to fall to the ground.

"Wang! Wang!"

Before the child could react, the yellow dogs who were playing together spread their legs and ran towards the Wotou, and then wanted to swallow it with the Wotou in its mouth.

At this moment, another child had sharp eyesight and quick hands, hurriedly held down the yellow dog, took out the corn bread from the yellow dog's mouth, wiped his nose and handed it to the child who fell down.

When the child who fell down saw the cornbread, he smiled through his tears, reached out to take it, took a small bite, and then played and chased after it with his companions.

Seeing this scene, Han Xin sighed secretly. He really couldn't understand why after Qin Shihuang unified the world, the life of the people was more bitter and tiring than before.

If the unification of the world is not to make the people live better, then is such a world still necessary?
With a somewhat heavy and complicated mood, Han Xin closed his eyes. In fact, he himself is just a commoner.

Just when Han Xin was about to fall asleep, a woman walked up to him with a basket on her shoulders and asked in a low voice, "Son, why are you sleeping here?"

"Ok?"

The moment he heard the voice, Han Xin opened his eyes suddenly, and broke out in a cold sweat at the same time.

It wasn't that he was frightened by the woman, but that he realized the danger just now.

Sleeping in the wild in such a cold weather, it is easy to fall asleep and freeze to death.

After hesitating for a moment, he quickly turned over and bowed to the woman: "Thank you for saving my life, Madam."

"What are you talking about, kid?"

The woman was baffled by Han Xin's gift, so she couldn't help but glared at him, and said angrily, "The old woman sees that you haven't caught any fish for a long time, so you must be hungry."

As he spoke, he took out a bowl of corn and rice from the basket and handed it to Han Xin: "Take this bowl of rice and eat it!"

"It's so cold, if you don't eat, you will easily freeze your body."

"This, how does this make"

Han Xin hesitated.

Although he was already hungry, he also knew that it was not easy for these women who made a living by washing silk cotton.

But the woman saw that he was hesitant, but she was a little displeased, stepped forward, put the corn bowl in his hand and said: "Why can't it be done, how can you be so polite at such a young age?"

"Let's eat! The old woman will go home and cook if it's not enough!"

Han Xin held the corn bowl and looked at it, then raised his head to look at the woman, and then saluted the woman: "I have received a favor from my aunt today, and I will repay it with a thousand dollars in the future!"

Hearing this, the woman got a little angry immediately, and scolded: "You child, why are you so ignorant? The old woman only offered you a helping hand because she saw you were pitiful. How can she seek future favors?"

"This"

Han Xin was dumbfounded, feeling a little ashamed.

But the woman said again: "At your age, you have hands and feet, and you can farm one or two acres of land to support yourself. Why do you go fishing for a living?"

"If you have difficulties in the future, you will know the old woman. Although the old woman is not rich, it is no problem to support you for a while!"

After speaking, he turned and left the river bank.

Han Xin looked at her back, pondered for a moment, bowed deeply again, and at the same time made up his mind that he must repay this woman in the future.
