"Stop, don't run!"

That afternoon, everyone in the rice flower wore their sleeves and happily watched the daily life in the middle - Ji Ying was chased and beaten by his old father again.

"Naigong worked hard to raise you, so that your three brothers were separated, and I thought that you were the most incapable of your son, leaving you with the field, and letting you support me in the future, I never thought that you would go to what kind of pavilion you were going to do! What if your thin arm is killed by thieves? ”

Ji Ying's father chased after him for a while and couldn't run, leaning against the wall, panting and scolding: "If I knew this, it would be better to drown you directly when I gave birth to you!" ”

"Father!" Although Ji Ying ran out of breath, she still turned around and said, "I heard that it is illegal to kill a child!" ”

"You unfilial son!" When Ji Ying's father heard this, he picked up the old man again and hit his youngest son: "It's not too late to kill you now!" ”

Everyone in the rice flower looked at this familiar scene, their stomachs hurt with laughter, and some people coaxed: "Zhong Weng! Do you want us to do it for you, go to the government to sue Ji Ying for unfilial piety and disobedience, and let the officials sentence him to death? ”

Don't think that only Confucianism advocates filial piety, the Qin State, which is governed by the Legalists, also advocates it, and directly stipulates in the law: Lao Tzu beats his son, he does not break the law, he can be beaten to death! If your children are disobedient and unfilial, you can even apply to the government for help you kill him on the spot!

"Get out, my family's business, you have to take care of it! Ouch ......"

Although he knew that it was a joke, Ji Ying was still so angry that he scolded these people who were not too big to see the excitement, but he was caught up by his father and was kicked in the ass......

So throughout the afternoon, the rice flowers were filled with cheerful air.

But in the mudflats of Yunmengxiang, not far from here, what Xiao Tao encountered was not so happy......

……

As the name suggests, the mudflat is an open field left behind after the edge of Yunmengze dried up, a poor place where there is nothing but mud, and the little Tao family lives here.

After parting ways with Heifu at the fork in the road, Xiao Tao carried a large bag of corn that he had exchanged money for in the county, and walked on the road with difficulty, the roads in the countryside were narrow and uneven, and there was water in some places.

As soon as he entered the inner door, Xiao Tao ran into trouble.

"Isn't this a small stutter?"

A few young people leaning on the inner door saw Xiao Tao, so they smiled and came around, looking at the new shoes under his feet, the bag of grain on his back, and was amazed: "When we returned from service, we were all dressed in rags, but you still wore new shoes for this little stutter, where did you come from?" ”

Xiao Tao has a thin physique, stutters, and has been bullied by his peers since he was a child, so he had to lower his head and stammer: "Yes...... Is it a pawn, a long time...... Give me ......"

"And what's so good?"

The two young men looked at each other, and then looked at the heavy grain bag on Xiao Tao's shoulder, and then turned to smile: "This grain bag is so heavy, I'm afraid it weighs a stone, come on, we'll carry it for you!" As he spoke, he grinned and asked to come and take his food.

How could Xiao Tao not know that these two people like to bully themselves, and they didn't have a good heart this time, saying that they were helping him deliver food, but in fact, they were looking for an excuse to ask him for some corn, and they inevitably blackmailed him for one or two buckets.

So Xiao Tao stepped back suddenly, put the grain bag down, took out the dagger in his arms, and said fiercely: "Don't ...... Stay back! If you dare to take my food, let it, let you wait for blood! ”

This startled the two of them, looking at Xiao Tao like a stranger.

In the past, Xiao Tao must have swallowed his anger and let them bully. But after serving this month, he has unconsciously changed something, not to mention, these are the life-saving food of the Xiao Tao family, and he is not willing to give a grain to others!

The two of them also bullied him to be honest, once Xiao Tao pulled out his sword to resist, but he didn't dare to do anything to him, and the inner prison door also came out to check, so he scolded and left.

Xiao Tao breathed a sigh of relief, carried the grain bag, and walked to the door of Lu Zuo's house......

The broken urn is used as a window and the household pivot is tied with a rope, which is really the home of the "urn rope pivot".

The mudflats were already poor, and Xiao Tao's family was notoriously poor, and everyone avoided them, after all, his mother died of a boiled disease.

Xiao Tao sighed, pushed the door in, the yard was narrow, his equally thin father was squatting weakly in the yard to roast the fire, heard the door ring, raised his head and saw Xiao Tao, but there was no look of surprise, until Xiao Tao put the grain in front of him, his sunken eyes resurfaced a trace of brilliance!

"M!?"

Xiao Tao's father opened the grain bag, smiled from ear to ear, and then hurriedly closed the door and whispered, "Where did it come from?" Didn't you steal it? ”

Xiao Tao blushed with anger, but he couldn't speak, just shook his head vigorously.

"It doesn't matter if it's stolen, just don't let anyone catch it." But his father didn't care, sat down again, and said weakly, "After you leave, I will only eat one meal a day, and I will starve to death, so go and cook the rice." ”

"Hmm."

Xiao Tao silently agreed, and walked into the house, which was a thatched house that was more dilapidated than the one he lived in, with potholes on the ground, a low couch full of straw, an earthen stove, and nothing else.

The only thing I could find was a small bow hanging on the wall.

This bow is different from ordinary bows, it is very light, and the arrows piled on the ground are also different, and behind each arrow, there is a thin fishing line......

This is called a bow, some are used to shoot birds, some are used to shoot fish, Xiao Tao's father has no other strength, he will shoot fish with one hand, and he can also subsidize some families. But after breaking his finger while serving a few years ago, the craft was abandoned. Now that the bow is covered with dust, his father is becoming more and more decadent and lazy, he doesn't want to plant, he doesn't want to live, this life is over.

But Xiao Tao didn't want to be like his father, just living in such a mess.

This month of service allowed him to see the outside world, and also understood what honor and friendship are.

Xiao Tao put down the grain bag, walked to the wall, stood on tiptoe, took off the bow, blew away the thick dust on it, and gently plucked the bowstring, making it make a slight trembling sound......

He looked at the four-walled house, I don't know whether he thought of his mother who died of illness and tragedy, or thought of his own situation, tears welled up in his eyes, but his fists clenched tighter and tighter:

"I ...... I'm going to apply! Be a pawn! Never, not coming back!"

……

On the afternoon of November 2, Heifu, whose home was furthest from the county seat, also arrived inside and outside.

On the side of the road, there are large paddy fields and corn fields that have already been harvested, and even the straw has already been harvested, which is bare and looks a little desolate.

As the sun sets, from a distance, the big banyan tree that is still flourishing in the middle of winter in the sunset is still in sight......

"Brother Zhong!"

When Heifu reached the inner door, he heard his name being called, and when he looked up, he saw a man riding on the branch of a banyan tree, like a monkey, waving at him.

"Brother Zhong, I'm here!"

It was his 15-year-old brother, surprised. If history is not changed, Shocking will die in the Unification War with Heifu a few years later, and that letter will become their last letter until they see the light of day countless years later, making future generations sigh and sigh.

But now, all this will be different, whether it is their life or destiny......

"This kid belongs to the monkey."

Heifu shook his head helplessly, but the corners of his mouth showed a smile.

"Home!"

……

PS: By the way, in the Qin Dynasty, unfilial piety was a very serious crime, and the means of performing the murder of unfilial sons were simple and simple, almost if the parents went to sue them, the government could accept them immediately. There is a paragraph in the "Legal Questions and Answers" 102, "Do you want to avoid the old man accusing people of being unfilial and killing, and not being the one of the three rings?" If you don't want to be in the ring, you can't lose it. "It means that if an old man sues his son for unfilial piety and asks the government to kill him, should he mediate and forgive the unfilial son three times? Answer, the crime is so heinous that it should not be forgiven, and the unfilial son should be arrested immediately, and don't let him escape!

Knowing this, it is not surprising that Fusu was desperate when he heard that Qin Shi Huang had issued an edict to him to die, and he committed suicide directly, regardless of whether it was true or not. is not only Fusu innocent and benevolent, but also because "the father wants the son to die, and the son has to die", in the Qin Dynasty, it was not only morality, but also law.

Therefore, when the travelers return to the Qin Dynasty, they must remember to be filial to their parents.
