Sishui County, Huaiyin County.

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

The cold wind blew from all directions, causing a "rustling" sound around.

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

The boy looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with his disheveled hair and his eyes blurred, looking at the tombstone without saying a word.

Apart from horror, this scene really makes people unable to find suitable words to describe.

Just half a year ago, the boy's mother died of illness. In order to bury her mother, he specially chose this open space.

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

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

Three months ago, the pavilion manager who went to the countryside heard about the boy and attached great importance to him. He specially took him back to his home to take care of him.

However, the pavilion chief’s wife disliked him very much. Whenever he was dinner, she always mocked him for eating for free.

The boy still didn't care at all, he should eat and sleep.

Until yesterday, in order to drive him away, the wife of the pavilion chief deliberately started dinner in advance. When he was eating, the dining table was already empty.

So in anger, the boy came here.

Although the surroundings looked scary, the boy did not show any fear on his face.

After a while, he stood up and moved his frozen body, made his ragged robe, then bowed to the tombstone, and said with dry lips: "Mom! I will prove to them one day that Xiner is not a waste of food!"

After saying that, he turned around and left the cemetery.

.........

Time flies, the boy walked out of the woods and saw a river flowing slowly towards him.

This big river is the Huaiyin River. If you walk down for more than ten miles, you will be Huaiyin County.

The boy did not mean to go to the county town, but just walked down the river bank for a few hundred meters, 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 passed away.

Until he returned from the pavilion master's house, the wooden house still maintained its original appearance.

On the other side of the river is a village with only a few families, all of which are tenants of a wealthy gentry in the village.

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

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

The boy returned to the wooden house and prepared to make a fire to cook.

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

The boy was a little panicked and hurriedly searched the house. Apart from some worn clothes and old clay pots, there was nothing to eat in the house.

This made him feel a little depressed.

"The Qin law is strict. Logically, no one will steal. Why is there no grain in the family?"

Just when the boy was puzzled, a "squeaking" sound suddenly appeared in the room. He turned around and saw a few fat and thin mice searching everywhere.

"Oh!"

The boy yelled, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Han Xin, Han Xin, you are so arrogant, but now you have been bullied by a few rats. It's really time and life!"

After saying that, he collapsed on the ground weakly and put on a large font.

Looking at the dark roof, Han Xin had a lot of thoughts. He was confused about the future and didn't know where to go.

From the moment he picked up the military books in the mountains, he believed that he would make a name for himself sooner or later.

However, reality hit him hard.

The Qin Dynasty "takes officials as their teachers". If you want to enter the official career, you have to find a teacher who is an official and learn Qin's laws, and then be promoted by a large family. Similarly, if you want to join the army, you must reach the legal age.

In other words, it is difficult for a minor to be a wild path like him to make a name for himself.

But my fate is up to me, not to God.

Han Xin was very confident in himself. Not only did he play with his sword all day long, but he also acted unruly, making him a famous "Internet celebrity" boy in all corners of the countryside.

It is precisely because he is famous in the countryside that the pavilion chief is able to come here.

I thought it would be a horse that met Bole, but it turned out that I met Li Bai in the jungle.

If I could start over...

Cough, cough... In fact, our "Soldier Saint" is not that bad, after all, it is in the late stage.

After lying on the ground for a long time, Han Xin finally got up. After all, it was better to live than to die. Even if he was poor, he still had to eat.

Although I didn’t find any food, I couldn’t have fishing tools by the river.

He skillfully took out a simple fishing rod from under the bed, then re-fixed the fishing line and hook, and carried the fishing rod out of the wooden house.

As for the bait, just find a relatively fertile open space and squirt it for a few times and there will be earthworms to use.

Everything was ready, so Han Xin chose a position he used to fish and started throwing rods and fishing.

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

Although both hands and feet were frozen black and blue, these children didn't care at all and were still sweating with their friends.

Perhaps only by running can they feel warm.

Fishing is a job that coexists with technology and luck. Although Han Xin is pretentious, it is not that easy to eat fish.

Waiting is the most harsh thing. In order to reduce the hunger and coldness, Han Xin grabbed some leaves at will, covering his body with dead grass, and at the same time diverted his attention.

Turn your eyes to the children across the river.

At this moment, a child about five or six years old was holding a black piece of steamed bun in his forehand, and chewing while running.

As a result, after a few steps, he fell a dog and ate the steamed bun in his hand fell to the ground.

"Woon!Woon!"

Before the child could react, the yellow dog playing with spread his legs and ran towards the steamed bun, then held the steamed bun in his mouth and wanted to swallow it.

At this moment, another child had quick eyes and quick hands. He hurriedly held down the yellow dog, took out the steamed bun from the yellow dog's mouth, wiped his nose and handed it to the fallen child.

When the child who fell down saw the steamed bun, he burst into tears and laughed. He reached out to take the steamed bun, chewed a small bite, and then played and chased with his companions.

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

If unification of the world is not to make the people live a better life, then is there still a need for such a world to exist?

With a bit of heavy and complicated mood, Han Xin closed his eyes. In fact, he was just a civilian himself.

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

"Um?"

The moment he heard the sound, Han Xin suddenly opened his eyes and was shocked and sweated.

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

Sleeping in the wild in such cold weather is easy to get up and freeze to death.

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

"What are you talking about?"

The woman was confused by Han Xin's gift, so she couldn't help but glared at him and said angrily: "The old woman saw that you haven't caught fish for a long time, and I think you should be hungry..."

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

"It's so cold, and it's easy to freeze your body if you don't eat..."

"This, how does this make..."

Han Xin hesitated a little.

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

But when the woman saw him hesitating, she was a little unhappy. She stepped forward and stuffed the corn bowl into his hand and said, "What can't be done about this? At a young age, where do you get so many etiquettes?"

"Eat it! It's not enough for an old woman to go home and cook!"

Han Xin looked at the corn bowl, then looked up at the woman, and then bowed to the woman, "I will be rewarded with the aunt today, and I will be rewarded with a thousand gold in the future!"

Hearing this, the woman was suddenly angry and scolded: "Why are you so ignorant? The old woman is so pitiful to you, so she can help her. How can she seek favor in the future?"

"this......"

Han Xin was silent and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

But the woman said again: "You are of your age, you have hands and feet, and you can cultivate one or two acres of land to support yourself. Why do you want to fish for a living?"

"If you have any difficulties in the future, you can tell that the old woman is not rich, but it will be fine to raise you for a while!"

After saying that, he turned around and left the river bank.
