Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 2 Be careful what you say

"The German tractor team! You guys are cheating! It's fine to lose to Mexico, but you can even lose with a bat, and you lost [-]-[-]! It's embarrassing to you Germans!"

"That fat man who jumped off the building is also a cheater. He lost the house by gambling badly, and even dragged me off the roof when he died! Even if I saved you because I wanted to perform meritorious service and win the chance to get promoted and make a fortune, but I am too. I save you with good intentions! You really want to die, so don’t hold on to my hand! It’s all right now, you’re dead, my future has been delayed, and this ghost era has come and turned into someone else for no reason. , you rotten gambler who lacks virtue and is fat!"

Lying on the low couch, Xiang Kang didn't know how many times he cursed the fat gambler who cheated him to death in his heart, the sound of talking and laughing suddenly came, and the door was quickly pushed open. A disciple of the Xiang family rushed into Xiang Kang's resting room with a sword and the cold wind of late autumn, and filled the low and narrow room almost instantly. The oldest Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Han and Xiang Sheng Competing to open the mouth, asked: "Xiang Kang, how is it? Is it better?"

"I heard that you can get up by yourself in the morning, is it almost better?"

"Xiang Kang, look what I brought here? Good wine from Ms. Chen's wine shop! Get up and drink a few sips to warm up your body. It will be fine in a few days."

Shouting, Xiang Sheng, the big clan brother, didn't care whether the patient could drink or not, so he forced Xiang Kang, who had been bedridden for more than a day, to pull up, took out a gourd, unplugged it, and stuffed the mouth of the gourd into the neck without saying a word. Kang's mouth, forced to pour wine into Xiang Kang's mouth.Although the alcohol content of rice wine in this era is similar to that of beer, Xiang Kang, who has been "tested" in the 21st century, is not much different from drinking water, but Xiang Kang is injured after all, and he will not be able to adapt to this for a while He was choked on the spot by the strange taste of the liquor of the era, and coughed loudly in discomfort. Xiang Sheng and a few brothers from the Xiang family laughed when they saw it, and seemed to appreciate Xiang Kang's appearance of being teased.

"Okay, Xiang Sheng, don't bully Xiang Kang, he just got better, don't force him to drink if he can't drink."

Xiang Guan, who was also big, snatched the wine gourd and took a mouthful of it first, then asked Xiang Kang: "Xiang Kang, is it better? How do you feel?"

"It's okay, it's much better." Xiang Kang replied, wiping the remaining wine on his lips, but unconsciously looked at Xiang Zhuang, another clan brother, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Brother, are you really Xiang Zhuang?"

The laughter in the room came to an abrupt end. The members of the Xiang family were all inexplicable, and the person involved, Xiang Zhuang, was even more confused. While reaching out to touch Xiang Kang's forehead, he said in surprise, "Xiang Kang, why are you still talking nonsense?" What is my name, why do you still ask?"

"Then... who is Uncle Xiang?" Xiang Kang asked again.

"Uncle Xiang is our uncle?" Xiang Zhuang was even more surprised, and said, "What? You even forgot who your uncle is? Shall we find another medical worker (doctor) to show you?"

Xiang Kang smiled wryly, and finally confirmed that the clan brother Xiang Zhuang in front of him was the famous Xiang Zhuang in history——Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Peigong!After a wry smile, Xiang Kang, who knew a little about the history of the Qin and Han Dynasties, couldn't help asking again: "What about Xiang Ji (Xiang Yu)? Who is he to me? Where is he now?"

"Of course Xiang Ji is also your elder brother." Xiang Zhuang said, "He went to Kuaiji County with our other uncle Xiang Liang. You should know about that? Why do you still ask?"

Xiang Kang smiled bitterly, and said after a long while: "I'm still a little dizzy, I can't remember many things at all, and I want to rest for a while."

Xiang Zhuang agreed, and hurriedly helped Xiang Kang to lie down again with Xiang Sheng, and covered Xiang Kang with pajamas (quilt) stuffed with reed flowers very carefully, and then sat on the floor with other Xiang family children, quite worried Xiang Kang's condition was discussed.Xiang Kang looked at the roof in a daze, with a wry smile on his face, and said in his heart: "It really is the end of the Qin Dynasty, it really is Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, now I have a lot of fun."

Xiang Kang's history is not good, but no matter how bad the history is, Xiang Kang also knows what is about to happen next - first Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted that the princes and generals Xiangning have kindness, and then the brute force Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's old hooligans Following the rebellion, the Qin Dynasty was overthrown and Ziying was killed, and then Chu and Han struggled for hegemony. Xiang Yu was killed by the old hooligan Liu Bang, and after his death, he was dismembered...

The history is really bad. Xiang Kang didn't know what happened to the Xiang family after Xiang Yu's death, but judging from the movies and TV shows of later generations, it seems that after Xiang Yu died, the Xiang family seemed to disappear without a trace. They were all killed by Liu Bang, and their children and grandchildren were killed. They were forced to change their names and surnames, and disappeared forever in the long river of history.

"Let's take one step at a time. Anyway, this life is picked. If you live an extra day, you earn a day. I really can't live on. At worst, I will be a traitor of the Xiang family just like Uncle Xiang, helping Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, anyway. I also don't like the overlord of Western Chu who is muscular and simple-minded, who turned the clock back in history and created the enfeoffment system."

Holding the peace of mind of what comes and goes, and trying to integrate the memories left by the previous Xiang Kang, Xiang Kang quickly became familiar with his new identity—the grandnephew of Xiang Yan, the famous general of Chu State, Xiang Liang and Xiang Kang. Uncle's cousin, historically famous Xiang Yu and brother of Xiang Zhuang, moved with his family from Xiang County to the next prime minister after the fall of Chu State, lost his mother when he was young and lost his father when he was young, and was brought up by the kindness of his elders. Mao, who looks passable but is not married, nor does he have a wealthy fiancée. ——This is what Xiang Kang regrets the most.

He got used to the new identity quickly, but the life of this era made it difficult for Xiang Kang to adapt to anything. The diet was rough and hard to swallow, and he had to be careful when sitting down without a bench or underwear. It’s pretty rough when you go up, but it makes Xiang Kang feel uncomfortable no matter how you wear it. If you don’t have tea or coffee, you can only drink some boiled water at most. There is no electric light or clock. You can only light the animal oil lamp that emits a smell. Look. Estimates of approximate times by the sun or by a clepsydra with no precision.

I don’t even have paper, I can only write on bamboo slips, and when I go to the toilet...Fortunately, Xiang Kang knew how to be flexible, so he found some big leaves instead.

There are also tragic things, the economic situation of the old Xiang family is also very bad, the nobles are self-sufficient, no one in the clan wants to plow the land, buy and sell, and do business, all of them just think about idleness, wandering around, eating and clothing The expenses depend entirely on the family property left by the ancestors. Although the old Xiang family has been a general in the Chu State for generations, the wealth of the family property is by no means comparable to that of the nobles of the six countries, but it can't stand up to the nonsense of the whole family for more than ten years. The two uncles, Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo, who were in charge of the family successively in the past, were both prodigal masters. Spending money is like flowing water when they have a lot of money. They don’t even know what a long stream of water is. Hold on to the last bit of money, the old Xiang's family may not even be able to eat at this time.

Even if the family is like this, Xiang Kang, who came from a side branch, is of course even worse. Apart from a dilapidated courtyard allocated by the elders, there are only two sets of linen clothes in Xiang Kang's room and an iron sword handed down by his ancestors, which is worth two pennies. what a decent thing.

Fortunately, the two aunts are very virtuous, knowing that Xiang Kang was injured when he fell into the water and couldn't get out of the house to get food, so they brought food to Xiang Kang on time every day.At the same time, the Xiang family's children are also very affectionate, and they did not forget to leave a copy for Xiang Kang when they got some decent food or game outside, and tried their best to fulfill their responsibilities as brothers of the same clan. , Xiang Kang finally did not starve to death and freeze to death in this era.

No, another seven or eight days later, just after his aunt delivered dinner and left, a dozen or so Xiang brothers came to Xiang Kang's room again, not only bringing a few jars of millet wine, but also a piece of wine in this place. The old beef, which is extremely precious in the times, should be enjoyed with Xiang Kang who is already in good health.Xiang Kang, who eats millet and vegetarian dishes every day, has long since faded out of his mouth, is overjoyed to see him, and quickly invites his brothers from the same clan to sit down and barbecue and drink together around the stove.

The beef brought by the Xiang family brothers is old beef that died of illness. The dry beef is almost the same as the beef jerky of later generations. Kang, however, ate very deliciously, and the Xiang family brothers were all like wolves and tigers, gorging on wine and eating meat at the same time, eating like a group of starved ghosts reincarnated.While gobbling, Xiang, the youngest in terms of age and seniority, said vaguely: "Meat is the best. It would be great if I could eat meat every day, regardless of pork, beef, or mutton."

"When the elder father (grandfather) was still around, our family ate meat every day." Xiang Zhuang, who was already twenty-one, took up the conversation and said, "I still remember that when the elder father was around, our family ate meat every day." Meat, pork and chicken are eaten every day, mutton, beef, wild goose (swan) and quail are often eaten, and there are too many kinds of fish to count, and sometimes bear’s paws can be eaten.”

"I've eaten bear's paws too." Xiang Han, who was the same age as Xiang Zhuang, rushed to say, "It's soft and glutinous, and the soup (soup) is so fresh that it can melt a person's tongue."

Xiang Zhuang nodded, admitting that the taste of bear's paws in his memory was the same, but Xiang Yan's great-grandson, who was not yet 17 years old, was confused when he heard it, and asked doubtfully: "Did we eat so many good things when we were young? Why don't you remember anything?"

"You were less than two years old at that time, so of course you can't remember." Xiang Zhuang pointed out the reason, and then sighed: "It would be great if Dafu and Chu State were still there, we don't need to live in such a crappy place, eat This kind of pig and dog food?"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little depressing. The Xiang family children who had experienced a good time in their childhood were no longer laughing and playing, and everyone showed nostalgia. Xiang Guan also said regretfully: "It's a pity The eldest father lost the battle in Qixian County, otherwise he would not have died, and our state of Chu would not have perished."

The atmosphere in the room was even more depressing, and the children of the Xiang family couldn't help but become speechless when they thought of their relatives' homeland, and the room became abnormally quiet.However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, and said in a lazy tone: "Who said that our Chu State is dead? The court of Chu State is gone, but thousands of Chu people are still there. Although Chu has three households, To perish Qin must be Chu."

Although there are three households in Chu, the death of Qin will lead to Chu.Of course it was Xiang Kang who was able to say this, and the reason for saying this was also very simple—to recite a famous historical quote casually when he was bored.But the history is poor, but Xiang Kang didn't know that this sentence hadn't appeared yet, so after hearing this, the brothers of the Xiang family not only looked at each other in blank dismay, but also asked Xiang Kang one after another: "Xiang Kang, what are you talking about? Although there are three households in Chu, the death of Qin must be the result of Chu's death." ?What does this sentence mean?"

The words were out of his mouth and could not be taken back, Xiang Kang could only say again: "This sentence means that even if there are only three clans or three families left in the Chu State, it can destroy the Qin State and end the tyranny of the King of Qin in the future. , it must be us Chu people who save all the people in the world from suffering!"

"Why must it be from our Chu country? Can't it be from the other six countries?" Xiang Han asked suspiciously, and other Xiang family brothers followed suit.

"Qin Tuntianxia, ​​among the six kingdoms, our Chu Kingdom is the most unjust loser!"

Forced to helplessness, Xiang Kang could only pull himself together, and while recalling his pitiful historical knowledge, he said plausibly: "Our Chu State was deceived twice by Qin Prime Minister Zhang Yi and lost a large area of ​​land! Guan Huimeng, our King of Chu was imprisoned shamelessly by Qin State again, causing our King Shangke to die in a foreign country! Later, our army of Chu State opened up territory for China and went to Dianchi Lake. The people of Qin State took the opportunity to sneak attack and break through our Chu State Yingdu of the people! These things, which one of us Chu people is convinced, which one doesn’t hate Qin and the King of Qin to the bone? And which Chu person doesn’t want to avenge his hatred, stepping through Xianyang, and being ashamed?”

The Xiang family brothers looked Xiang Kang up and down as if they didn't know each other. After a long while, Xiang Zhuang said: "Although the words are reasonable, will we Chu people have such an opportunity?"

"There will be, there will be." Xiang Kang said with great confidence: "Although Qin has swept the six countries in reputation and unified the world, but the people of the six countries are not attached, and the king of Qin has gone against the law and abused the power of the people. I don’t know how to rest with the people and appease the people. At the Lishan construction site, countless prisoners are exhausted every day! On the roads and small roads in all counties, there are not countless prisoners and civilians who are forced to serve in Lishan that day? Qin In the prison of state officials, which one is not full of innocent people who have been severely punished for petty crimes? On the execution ground, on that day, no civilians were cut to pieces, arms and legs? How could the Qin court treat the people so cruelly? May be long?"

After a long talk, Xiang Kang waved his hand again, and said in a deep voice: "So I can guarantee that in three years at most, or two years at least, the people of the world will definitely rebel because they can't bear the tyranny of Qin State, and fight against Tyranny Qin." One is life and death! Don’t tell me why the people of the world rebel all of a sudden. If you rebel, you will die, and if you don’t rebel, you will die. As long as the people in the world have a little ambition, who wants to just be a fish on an anvil and not want to fight to the death with Tyranny? Kill yourself Find a way out?"

"At that time, because the blood debt is not far away, and there are countless people in our Chu country who cherish their homeland, we Chu people will definitely become the main force against Qin! The core backbone of the bloody battle against Tyranny Qin! Because the tigers and wolves Qin, you owe us Chu people too much!"

Xiang Kang was impassioned and eloquent, but none of the Xiang family disciples present spoke, but it wasn't that they didn't want to speak, but they all lost their minds and opened their mouths.It was after a long time that Xiang Zhuang was the first to come back to his senses. He picked up the wine jar and poured a breath into his own mouth, then put down the wine jar, wiped his mouth, and said out of breath, "Happy! Xiang Kang's words , It makes me feel happy! That’s right, even though Chu has three households, if Qin dies, Chu must die!”

"Come on, Xiang Kang, elder brother, I present you a bowl!" Xiang Han handed a bowl of wine to Xiang Kang with both hands, and said excitedly: "For nothing else, I just said these words to you! Elder brother, I Convinced, you are right, you are right! The people of Qin owe us the blood debt of Chu people, and we Chu people will definitely be able to get it back by ourselves in the future!"

After Xiang Han took the lead, the other members of the Xiang family also woke up like a dream, and hurriedly raised their bowls to toast Xiang Kang. Xiang Kang quietly wiped off his cold sweat, and secretly said: "Fortunately, all the brothers present here are brothers from the Xiang family. Everyone who hates the Qin Dynasty will definitely not sell me. Be careful what you say in the future. Although three families of Chu are dead, Qin must be like Chu." If you talk nonsense outside, you might lose your head."
