Chapter 1319: Secretly Helping
Qin Dynasty.
"Strongman, have another drink. ”
"One more drink. ”
Ye Shikai was invited to his home by the villagers of Shangshui Village, and received a grand courtesy, Ye Shikai looked at these wine glasses in front of him, if they can be brought back to modern times, they should be rare antiques, during the Qin Dynasty, the degree of wine brewed was not very high, after all, there was no distilled liquor in this era, Ye Shikai drank a lot, and he still did not get drunk.
"This time, the elders of Sheung Shui Village were able to avoid the murder of robbers, thanks to the martial arts of the strong men. A villager said that this Shangshui Village is a village in Hanoi County, and there are only more than 200 households and more than 1,000 villagers, although this is not much in modern times, but compared with the total population of the Qin Dynasty, it is not small.
"Uncle He, I don't think there are many young adults in your village. Ye Shikai took a closer look, and the people who came here were basically old people, women and children, there were only a few dozen young and middle-aged people, and maybe some were still working in the farmland, but they still seemed very few.
"This"
When everyone heard this, they all showed a helpless look on their faces, and they looked at each other, Ye Shikai seemed to be talking about their hearts.
"Ye Gongzi came from afar and didn't know anything about our situation. Uncle He sighed, "Most of the young children in the village have gone to serve in the conscription, some of them are military service, and some of them go to the border to defend the wolf clan in the north, and some of them are to build gallop roads, bridges, palaces, etc., so there are not many young and middle-aged people in the village, and even the crop work in the fields needs to be done by the remaining women and children." ”
Ye Shikai heard the sighs of the crowd, but some sympathy for them, although he was a science student in high school, but he also knows history very well, the Qin Dynasty's forced labor was heavy, many young and middle-aged people went out to serve the forced labor, and these are extremely dangerous jobs, people go and do not return, and the people's resentment is boiling, which is also one of the reasons for the later uprising.
"I have just come to the Qin Kingdom, and there are indeed many incomprehensible places that need your advice. Ye Shikai said, he is not a god, even if he has the "heart" to save people, he has no "power" to save people, and he is powerless, I am afraid it is the most regrettable thing in the world.
"Having said that, Ye Gongzi, are you really from Yandu, Qin Law is unified across the country, don't you know these situations. Everyone looked at Ye Shikai carefully, this strange dress, and this hairstyle were simply out of place, making people wonder if he was a fine work of the Northern Wolf Clan, if it was, he would definitely die.
"To tell you the truth, I seem to have suffered some major blow, and I can't remember what happened before. Ye Shikai scratched his head, there was no way, he could only use amnesia to perfunctory everyone, after all, he was indeed not from the Qin State, if it was really spread, he might really die here.
"Grandpa, although Ye Gongzi's identity is unknown, he is willing to help the elders in the village, and act bravely, especially it can be seen that he must be a bold and upright person, not to mention, didn't the tun chief also promise to give him a photo post, and he won't have an identity when the time comes. At this time, He Linghan walked in front of everyone and said.
"Ling Er's words are reasonable, as long as there is a photo post, Ye Gongzi will have a proof of identity, and it will naturally be justified. ”
"Yes, the person who is favored by the tun chief must not be a bad person. ”
"That's right. ”
Everyone echoed, Ye Shikai breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, this Shangguan Jian was willing to help him, otherwise if he didn't have this photo, not only would it be difficult to move an inch in the Qin State, but his life would be in danger.
At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves from not far away, and everyone dispersed, and Shangguan Jian rode a war horse and walked over with a team of soldiers.
"Boy, take it, if you don't have this, you will be arrested wherever you go. Shangguan Jian took out a bamboo board and threw it to Ye Shikai.
"Shang Shui Village, Hanoi County. Ye Shikai muttered, there was his name on the bamboo board, although it was written by a small seal, but Ye Shikai could recognize that this was his name, and even understood the place of origin written below, Ye Shikai raised his head, the two glanced at each other, it was obvious that Shangguan Jian was helping him, with the origin of this Shangshui Village, he would not arouse suspicion.
"Alright, you're now a pawn under my account, come and train tomorrow. Shangguan Jian waved his hand, and the soldiers beside him stepped forward and handed Ye Shikai a pair of armor and a long sword.
In modern times, Ye Shikai heard that the bronze sword of the Qin Dynasty was a unique in the world, even if it was buried for thousands of years, it was still extremely sharp when it saw the light of day.
"Alright, let's go back and rest, and the others will disperse. Shangguan Jian glanced at everyone and saw that he turned his horse's head and left.
"Although the tun chief is not from Shangshui Village, but his soldiers are all children from the village, like our village, usually the tun chief leads people to be stationed to resist the attack of robbers, but recently I heard that there is going to be a war, I'm afraid" Uncle He sighed again, where do the people want to fight, but the truth in the troubled times is like this, if there is a national war, I don't know how many young people want to go to the front line to participate in the war, not only that, but also send many people to be responsible for escorting materials and logistics.
"What, is there going to be a war recently. Ye Shikai asked curiously.
"It's just that I've heard the news, but it's not necessarily exact, I heard that there have been uprisings in other counties recently, but the situation is unknown. Uncle He shook his head, how could an old man care about such a distant matter, what he cared about was whether his family around him would be implicated, and what this year's harvest would be.
"Ye Gongzi, it's a little late, you have to go to the barracks tomorrow, why don't you go to the old man's house tonight for one night." Uncle He looked up at the sky, the sky began to darken, the ancients made the sunrise and rested at sunset, Ye Shikai was a newcomer, and he didn't even have a place to live.
"It's embarrassing, it's so intrusive. Ye Shikai shook his head: "I'd better go to a nearby inn to stay." ”
Ye Shikai found some copper coins from the armor, which should have been given to him by Shangguan Jian, after all, a person who has just arrived here can't have no money on him, to be honest, Ye Shikai doesn't know how much these copper coins can be worth in the Qin Dynasty, but he should be able to stay in the inn for one night.
"What's the matter, these copper coins Ye Gongzi should keep them for future use, not to mention, you saved me today, why not let me take you in for one night. Uncle He was so gracious that Ye Shikai had no choice but to respond, and when he turned his head, He Linghan's face seemed to be slightly red not far away.
