Chapter 157 How Can You Say Success or Failure Without Xiao He in This Life(1/2)
Since receiving a meal from a woman on the river bank, Han Xin has received food from her for dozens of days.
At first he was a little embarrassed, after all, he didn't know the woman.
But later I gradually got used to this kind of gift.
So I became more determined and I would repay the woman in the future.
But only he himself knows the kindness of repaying one's kindness, but outsiders have no way of knowing it. They just think that he cheats on food and drink.
As time went by, the villagers around him became more and more disgusted with him, and even the women began to blame him.
I think she shouldn't indulge in such a scoundrel who eats nothing.
The woman laughed at this.
But Han Xin couldn't stand it.
With the experience of the pavilion chief’s wife, he knew that even if he would repay him one day, he would not be able to resist the long-lasting request.
As a result, Han Xin's mentality began to change. He felt that compared to his daily rewards, it was better to do something within his ability.
On this day, he came to the river bank with his sword on his back, looking at the woman washing silk cotton from afar. After hesitating for a while, he shouted loudly: "Auntie!"
"Um?"
The woman who was chatting with her companions heard Han Xin’s shout and looked up in confusion, then asked back: “Baby, what’s the matter? Are you hungry again?”
Han Xin: “………”
"What a shameless boy, I'm not going to eat, so I came to ask for food again. Can you really get the food for the aunt to be useless?"
Before Han Xin could reply, the woman's companion stopped the movements in her hand and frowned and scolded.
"Hey! Don't talk nonsense, this kid is so pitiful!" The woman heard her companion scolding and quickly dissuaded her.
But as soon as she finished speaking, another companion also complained in dissatisfaction: "Auntie, you are kind-hearted and will indulge this kid to eat for nothing;
You see, he has hands and feet, and is as tall as an adult and strong man. How can he not support himself?"
"Yes, auntie! He is bullying you with kindness!"
“………”
Seeing that the companions were talking more and more ugly, the woman's face suddenly sank.
Then he stood up and glared at everyone, and said unhappily: "Even if he eats nothing, I am willing to do it for the old woman. Although this kid is not good at speaking, the old woman knows that he is not bad in nature!"
"If you talk nonsense in the future, the old woman will not be with you!"
After saying that, she put away the silk cotton, held the wooden basin, and left the washing place.
The other women looked at each other and looked at each other.
At this time, Han Xin had already arrived on the other side of the river.
Although the women spoke badly, he didn't care at all because he only cared about the people he cared about.
For example, a woman walking in anger with a wooden tub.
"aunt!"
When Han Xin saw the woman coming, he had a warm smile on his face and went up to meet her.
When the woman saw him coming, she turned angry and smiled, and asked softly: "Baby, what are you?"
"without!"
Han Xin smiled and shook his head, and then expressed his intention.
"I saw that my aunt washed silk cotton every day, and I thought she would have to send it to the city. I happened to go to the city, so I was going to send some silk cotton for my aunt."
Hearing this, the woman smiled and felt confident that she had read it wrong.
Han Xin is definitely not the kind of scoundrel who eats nothing.
After hesitating for a moment, she smiled and waved her hand and said, "No need to worry, just read books at home and have the opportunity to do a career in the future."
"Leave the silk cotton to the old woman to deliver it!"
As he said that, he thought of something and glanced at the sword on Han Xin's back and said, "Swords are prohibited things. Don't take them out at will, otherwise you will be discovered by the officials and you will not be spared."
"I remember the words of the auntie, but let me do the silk cotton delivery!"
Seeing Han Xin repeatedly stubborn, the woman understood his intentions, so she sighed and instructed: "There are so many evil people in the city. If you go here, remember not to argue with others."
"Okay aunt! Don't worry, I will go and come back early." Han Xin grinned and nodded in response.
"The old woman will cook delicious food and wait for you to come back."
The woman also smiled satisfied and nodded slightly.
In this way, Han Xin returned to his aunt's house, carried two baskets of washed silk cotton, and followed the aunt's instructions to go to Huaiyin County.
…………
It was Xiangwu, and Han Xin came to the city with sweat on his head.
Now, there is more than an hour before delivery, so he found a clearing space and stopped to rest.
At this time, there were traffic in the city, and there were endless pedestrians coming and going, and vendors selling around were coming and going.
In the small stall not far away, several businessmen were talking about interesting things coming and going, while eating and drinking.
Han Xin couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he saw it. He was taller than ordinary people, so he had a larger appetite than ordinary people.
However, the woman had prepared food for him on the road.
So just glanced at the merchants, Han Xin withdrew his gaze, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and took out a cloth bag from his arms.
There are three black steamed buns inside.
He reached out to wipe his body and wiped it. Han Xin picked up a steamed bun and took a bite, then looked at the pedestrians passing by curiously while eating.
However, just as he finished eating a steamed bun and was about to get the second one, a stall slowly pushed it in front of him.
"Where did you come from? Do you understand the rules? This place is my Butcher Zhang's stall. How could you take advantage of it?"
"Um?"
Hearing the scolding, Han Xin was stunned. Looking up, he saw a young man with a beard walking over.
"Hey, what are you looking at? Haven't you heard what I said?"
Butcher Zhang couldn't help but feel a little angry when he saw Han Xin ignored him.
Han Xin frowned, then put away the steamed buns in his hand, turned around and walked towards the basket.
Seeing this, Butcher Zhang smiled coldly: "It looks tall and mighty, but it turns out to be a coward."
Hearing this, Han Xin paused and said casually: "A real man acts, stands tall and bullies the weak, and is not capable of doing things."
After saying that, he picked up the basket and prepared to leave.
At this time, Butcher Zhang sarcastically said, "You coward, are worthy of talking about the words of a real man? Even if you carry a sword, I can easily subdue you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people watching the fun suddenly surged around him.
"That's right, this kid dares to walk on the street with a sword in broad daylight!"
"Depending on the quality of the sword, it should be an old thing!"
"Could this kid be the back of some general?"
"I don't think so. Have you ever seen a general who carried silk cotton on the street after the door..."
Listening to the discussion around, Han Xin suddenly felt something was wrong. If he continued to do so, he would definitely attract officers and soldiers.
At that time, there will be a lot of trouble.
After hesitating a little, he speeded up and wanted to leave this place of failure.
But the butcher Zhang did not mean to let him go. He only saw the butcher Zhang take two steps at once, jumping in front of Han Xin, and said with a smile: "I want to leave? It's not that easy."
Han Xin paused, looked up at Butcher Zhang, and said in a deep voice: "How are you going?"
"If I occupy my place, I will naturally have to charge."
"Your name is not written there."
Butcher Zhang laughed: "You don't even ask who it belongs to, so you dare to rest."
Although he knew that the other party was bullying the villagers, Han Xin still said seriously: "I have no money."
"If you don't have money, you can get the silk cotton collateral."
“Silk cotton is not mine either.”
"Then this matter is a bit difficult."
Butcher Zhang looked around and touched his beard. His eyes suddenly lit up and he teased, "It's not impossible to let me let you go, unless you crawl through my crotch."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was uproared and looked at Han Xin.
Han Xin's face darkened and he said coldly: "You really want to do this?"
