A few days later, Han Xin wandered to the river under Huaiyin County, it was lunchtime, there was no ration, he made a fishing rod, dug some earthworms, tied them with bark, and fished by the river.

"Jiang Taigong fishes, the one who wishes to take the bait!"

It was time to become a starving ghost, Han Xin still shook his head and shook his head and said complacently.

At this time, several old women in the distance came to the upper reaches of the river to wash silk cotton, everyone talked and laughed, found a big stone by the river, placed a good position, and beat it with a mallet.

Cotton products were still a scarce item in the Qin Dynasty, and ordinary people wore linen clothes and arrowroot cloth, and used straw-filled clothes to resist the cold in winter, how unfortunate. However, the wealthy nobles are all wearing gold and silver, the clothes are made of silk, cotton fabrics, some are rare animal furs, and cotton clothes can also be filled with cotton wool in winter, the so-called brocade rust clothes, silk and satin, but so!

It is very likely that this group of old women is a descendant of a wealthy family in Huaiyin County who came to rinse the fabric.

Han Xin was silent and continued to catch his own fish. After waiting for two hours, Han Xin didn't catch a single fish, and the bait was bitten away by the fish. Han Xin angrily shook off the fishing rod.

"It's really a bad year!"

Han Xin said, and his stomach growled. The old women over there all took out scones to eat, and Han Xin was drooling when he saw it, but he was penniless, and he couldn't rob it openly, so he could only watch dryly.

A gray-haired old woman, looking energetic, walked over and put two pieces of pancake into Han Xin's hand, and said, "Young man, I see that you have been fishing for so long, and you haven't caught a single fish, so take this cake and eat it!" ”

Han Xin wanted to take it, but he still shook his head, continued to pick up the fishing rod and fished, and said, "I can catch the fish, and when there is a fish, I will invite you to eat the fish." ”

The old woman couldn't help but laugh when she looked at Han Xin's stubborn appearance, stuffed two steaming pancakes into Han Xin's hands, and said, "Fishing also requires strength, you eat first, and only when you are full can you have the strength to fish." When you catch a fish, you can invite the old man to eat the fish! Hahaha,,,"

Han Xin took the pancake and looked at the old woman who was far away, he didn't feel that the pancake was hot in his hand, he shook it at the old woman, and then sat down to enjoy the pancake. Finally filled his stomach, so Han Xin continued to fish, and after another hour of this, when the old women were gone, Han Xin still did not catch a single fish.

For several days in a row, Han Xin fished by this river, but he didn't get much. This Hanshin is located in the upper reaches of the river, the water surface is shallow, the water is particularly clear, and you can see the swimming fish in the river at a glance. However, these fish are difficult to react quickly and are difficult to catch, Han Xin tried several methods but had no results, but those fish always wandered around Han Xin's bait as if they were laughing at Han Xin, biting the bait from time to time, and when Han Xin came up with the rod, the fish were all frightened away.

"This fish is all fine? It looks like it's going to take a different approach to fishing. ”

When Han Xin saw that the fish did not take the bait, he carefully thought about the reason, hoping to find the right way to fish, catch the fish, and fulfill his promise to invite the old woman to eat the fish.

In the past few days, the old women have come to rinse their clothes regularly every day, and gradually they have come to know this young man who is not doing his job properly and has nothing to do. Everyone hated Han Xin and thought that it was a shameful thing for such a big man to come here to waste his time, so they didn't talk to him.

Only the gray-haired old woman, kind-hearted, would take out pancakes to help Han Xin every day, so that Han Xin would not go hungry.

"There is no fishing today, but you are thinking, what are the troubles? My old woman still has some experience to teach you. The old woman handed the pancake to Han Xin and said.

Han Xin thought for a while and shook his head, and said, "Old man, if I promise to invite you to eat fish, I will use my ability to fulfill my promise. Don't worry, the day of eating fish is not far away, I have already thought of a way, I will go to the county later, buy back the utensils I need, and you can eat fish tomorrow. ”

The old woman was a little relieved, this Han Xin is a person who values love and righteousness, and on this basis, it is not wrong to help him by herself.

"Okay,,, you young man is stubborn, just let you go. It's just that the crucian carp in the river here is a ghost, and it is extremely difficult to catch it, if you really can't do it, you should give up! ”

The old woman kindly persuaded her, and when she saw Han Xin's face that she didn't hear, she sighed and went back to wash the fabric.

After Han Xin finished eating the pancakes, he got up and put on his sword, and walked towards Huaiyin County.

Huaiyin is a big county, with a population of tens of thousands, businessmen such as clouds, Shinong industry and commerce, people from all walks of life gather here, convenient transportation, developed commerce and trade, and it is the main road town that runs through the north and south.

Han Xin walked around and took a look, he didn't have any money on him, even if he fancied something, he couldn't buy it, and when he was having a headache, there was a commotion from a shop in the distance.

"What are you doing? In broad daylight, do you want to do something illegal? A woman's coquettish voice came, Han Xin felt that this voice was quite familiar, and squeezed forward to check, it turned out to be Miss Hu Zhu.

I saw that a few hooligans were swaggering and smashing Hu Zhu's stall, and the medicinal herbs and fruits they were sold were all thrown on the ground by them, and they trampled on them with their feet.

"Who doesn't know that this is the territory of our eldest brother Fat Master, you little girl do business in our territory without paying protection fees, can we let you do business with peace of mind?" A leading rascal said.

"Can't!" The other thugs replied in unison.

"If it weren't for the kindness of our fat master, it wouldn't be as simple as lifting your stall, if it made us unhappy, hum! Seeing that you are a little girl like a jade, you are also a chick, I can't say that I want you to enjoy the happiness of being pampered, hahahaha," the leader made a look of lust and said light words to Hu Zhu.

Hu Zhu looked at the people around him for help, but everyone turned a deaf ear, just standing on the side and watching the play, without stepping forward to stop him. Hu Zhu was already desperate, and today he wanted to take out some mountain specialties and sell them to make a new dress for his father and mother, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

If I had known, Hu Zhu would not have come alone!

"Stop !!" A loud voice came. Han Xin squeezed through the crowd, surrounded Hu Su behind him, and confronted these gangsters directly.

"Where did you come out of nowhere, you dare to meddle with our brother's affairs, if you don't leave again, I will see you once in the future and beat you once!" The leader saw that there were many people on his side, and threatened arrogantly.

The gangsters were about to step forward to teach Han Xin a lesson, but he didn't expect Han Xin to directly pull out his sword, slash it into the air a few times, and said vigilantly: "If you dare to come up, I will use this three-foot sword to die with you." When the official messenger comes, you will not be able to run, and if you leave quickly, everyone will be happy,,,"

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of you, you are afraid of death!

The gangsters were all frightened, no one wanted to step forward and take a sword, the leader saw that the situation was not good, so he waved his hand away decisively, he looked at Han Xin viciously, and warned: "You wait, I'll let you know my means another day, go!" ”

After the gangsters left and the crowd dispersed, Han Xin breathed a sigh of relief and touched the cold sweat on his face. It was also the first time for him to come forward so bravely, I don't know why, but when I saw Hu Su, he became brave.

"Miss Hu Zhu, are you alright?" Han Xin put away his sword and turned around and said with concern.

"Thank you, I didn't expect you to save me this time, please accept the little girl's worship!" Hu Su said gratefully.

Han Xin hugged Hu Zhu and said, "Letter! I still remember the girl's life-saving grace, in this life, I dare not forget, this little thing is nothing! ”

Hu Zhu looked at Han Xin, who was disheveled and haggard, but at this time he felt that he was a big hero who stood up to the sky, at this time, the autumn water was floating in his eyes, his cheeks were ruddy, and he was obviously shy.
