Chapter 2 Be careful what you say

"O German broken tractor fleet! You guys! Even if you lose to Mexico, you can even lose with a stick, and you lose 2-0! Shame on you Germans! ”

"The dead fat man who jumped off the building is also a cheater, and he lost the house by his own bad gamble, and he pulled me off the roof when he died! Even if I want to save you and want to make meritorious service and strive for the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune, I will save you with good intentions! You really want to die, don't hold my hand at that time! Now it's okay, you're out of breath, my future has been delayed, and I've inexplicably come to this ghost era and become someone else, you rotten gambler who lacks great virtue and die fat! ”

Lying on the low couch, Xiang Kang didn't know how many times he cursed the rotten gambler who killed him in his heart when he killed the fat man, there was a sound of talking and laughing suddenly, and the door was quickly pushed open, and more than a dozen Xiang family disciples rushed into the room where Xiang Kang was resting with swords and the cold wind of late autumn, and almost instantly filled the low and narrow room, and the oldest Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Han and Xiang Sheng, rushed to open their mouths and asked, "Xiang Kang, how is it?" Better? ”

"I heard that you can get up on your own in the morning, it's almost good, right?"

"Xiang Kang, see what I've brought? Chen Yuan (Mrs. Chen) is a good wine in the wine shop! Hurry up and take two sips to warm up your body, and it will be fine in a few days. ”

Shouting, the big brother Xiang Sheng didn't care whether the patient could drink or not, he pulled up Xiang Kang, who had been in bed for more than a day, took out a gourd and pulled the stopper, and without saying a word, he stuffed the gourd mouth into Xiang Kang's mouth and poured wine into Xiang Kang's mouth. Although the alcohol content of rice wine in this era is about the same as that of beer, Xiang Kang, who has been 'tested' for a long time in the 21st century, is not much different from drinking water, but Xiang Kang is injured after all, and he can't adapt to the strange taste of alcohol in this era for a while, so he was choked on the spot, and coughed loudly in discomfort.

"Okay, Xiang Sheng, don't bully Xiang Kang, he's just better, don't force him to drink if he can't drink it."

Xiang Guan, who also had a big head, snatched the wine gourd and poured it into his mouth first, before asking Xiang Kang, "Xiang Kang, are you better?" How does it feel? ”

"It's okay, it's much better." Xiang Kang wiped the residual wine on his mouth and replied, but his eyes unconsciously looked at the other clan brother Xiang Zhuang, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother, are you really called Xiang Zhuang?" ”

The laughter in the room stopped abruptly, the children of the Xiang family were all inexplicable, and the person concerned, Xiang Zhuang, was even more confused, and hurriedly reached out to touch Xiang Kang's forehead, and said with a surprised face: "Xiang Kang, why are you still talking nonsense?" What's my name, why do you even ask? ”

"Then ......, who is Uncle Xiang?" Xiang Kang asked again.

"Uncle Xiang is our uncle?" Xiang Zhuang was even more surprised and said, "What? You have forgotten who your uncle is? Do you want us to find another medical worker (doctor) to show you? ”

Xiang Kang smiled bitterly, and finally determined that the clan brother Xiang Zhuang in front of him was the Xiang Zhuang who was famous in history - Xiang Zhuang danced the sword, which was intended for Pei Gong! And after a wry smile, Xiang Kang, who knew a little bit about the history of the Qin and Han dynasties, couldn't help but ask again: "What about Xiang Yu (Xiang Yu)?" Who is he? Where is he now? ”

"Of course, he is also your brother." Xiang Zhuang said: "He and our other uncle Xiang Liang went to Huiji County, what should you know?" Why do you still ask? ”

Xiang Kang smiled even more bitterly, and said after a while: "I'm still a little dizzy, I can't remember many things at all, and I want to rest for a while." ”

Xiang Zhuang agreed, and hurriedly picked up Xiang Kang with Xiang Sheng to lie down again, and very carefully covered Xiang Kang's bedclothes (quilt) stuffed with reed flowers, and then sat on the ground with other Xiang family children, and discussed Xiang Kang's illness with some worry. Xiang Kang looked at the roof in a daze, with a wry smile on his face, and said secretly in his heart: "Sure enough, it's the last year of the Qin Dynasty, and it's really Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, and now I'm having a lot of fun." ”

Xiang Kang's history is not good, but no matter how bad the history is, Xiang Kang also knows what is about to happen - first Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted out that the prince and general Xiangning have a kind of care, and then Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, who were full of brute strength, followed the army to rebel, overthrew the Qin Dynasty and killed Ziying, and then the Chu and Han struggles for hegemony, Xiang Yu was killed alive by the old hooligan Liu Bang, and his body was divided after his death......

History is really bad, Xiang Kang doesn't know what happened to the Xiang family after Xiang Yu's death, but judging from the movies and TV series of later generations, it seems that after Xiang Yu died, the Xiang family seemed to have completely disappeared without a trace.

"Let's take one step at a time, anyway, this life is picked up, and one more day of life is one day of earning. I really can't get by, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu is like Xiang Bo and is a traitor to the Xiang family, helping Liu Bang to do Xiang Yu, anyway, I don't like the muscular and simple-minded Western Chu overlord who also reverses history and engages in the sub-feudal system. ”

With the peace of mind that comes and goes, and after trying to integrate the memories left by the previous Xiang Kang, Xiang Kang quickly became familiar with his new identity - the nephew of Xiang Yan, the famous general of Chu State, the cousin of Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo, the brother of the historical celebrity Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang, after the fall of the Chu State, he moved with his family from Xiang County to the next minister, lost his mother when he was a child, lost his father when he was young, and grew up with the kindness of the elders of the same clan. - This is also the most regrettable for Xiang Kang.

The new identity is very quickly adapted, but the life of this era makes it difficult for Xiang Kang to adapt to anything, the diet is rough and difficult to swallow, there is no bench and no underwear to sit down, and the so-called deep clothes and hemp clothes are not good to look at, but wearing them on the body makes Xiang Kang uncomfortable no matter how he wears it, no tea or coffee, at most he can only drink some boiled water, no electric lights and no clocks, he can only light the smelly animal oil lamp lighting, look at the sun or estimate the approximate time with no precision at all.

There is not even paper, and the writing can only be written on bamboo slips, and it is ...... to go to the toilet. Fortunately, Xiang Kang knew how to be flexible and found some big leaves instead.

There are also miserable things, the economic situation of the old Xiang family is also very bad, the nobles are pretentious after that, no one in the clan wants to plough the land and farm, buy and sell business, one by one only thinks about idleness, wandering around, food and clothing all rely on the family property left by the ancestors, although the old Xiang family has been a general in the Chu State for generations, and the rich family property is by no means comparable to the ordinary nobles of the Six Kingdoms, but it can't stand a large family of people who have eaten nonsense for more than ten years, plus the two uncles Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo who have been in charge of the family are all good at losing the family. When you have a lot of money, spending money is like running water, you don't know what it means to be a long stream, and you have already basically lost your family, if it weren't for the two uncles and aunts to hold on to the last bit of money, the old Xiang family would probably not even be able to eat.

The family is still like this, and Xiang Kang from the side branch is of course even worse, in addition to a dilapidated courtyard assigned by the elders, there are only two sets of linen clothes and an iron sword handed down by the ancestors in Xiang Kang's room that are worth two small dollars, and nothing else can be found.

Fortunately, the two uncles and aunts are very virtuous, knowing that Xiang Kang was injured and couldn't get food out of the house, so they brought food to Xiang Kang on time every day, no matter how rough and simple it was, it didn't make Xiang Kang's nephew hungry. At the same time, the children of the Xiang family are also very affectionate, and they got some decent food outside, or caught some game, and they didn't forget to leave a copy for Xiang Kang, and worked hard to fulfill their responsibilities as brothers of the same clan, so Xiang Kang was finally not starved to death and frozen to death in this era.

No, seven or eight days later, as soon as my uncle and mother sent dinner, more than a dozen Xiang brothers came to Xiang Kang's room again, not only bringing a few urns of millet wine, but also a piece of old beef that was incomparably precious in this era, to be enjoyed with Xiang Kang, who was already in good health. Xiang Kang, who eats millet vegetarian dishes every day and has long faded out of his mouth, was overjoyed when he saw it, and hurriedly invited the brothers of the same clan to sit down and barbecue and drink wine together around the stove.

The beef brought by the Xiang brothers is the old beef that died of illness, the dry beef is almost the same as the beef jerky of later generations, and the dipping sauce seasoned after roasting also has a strange taste, but Xiang Kang, who has not seen the meat for more than ten days, eats very deliciously, and the Xiang brothers are all like wolves and tigers, eating meat while drinking wine, and eating like a group of hungry ghosts reincarnated. Gobbling it up, Xiang, who was the youngest in age and seniority, said vaguely: "It's still the best meat, if you can eat meat every day, it would be good, regardless of pork, beef and mutton." ”

"When my grandfather was still there, our family ate meat every day." Xiang Zhuang, who was already twenty-one, took over the conversation and said: "I still remember that when my father was here, our family ate meat every day, pork and chicken every day, mutton, beef, goose meat (swan meat) and quail meat were often eaten, and there were so many fish and meat patterns that I couldn't count them, and sometimes I could eat bear's paws." ”

"I've eaten bear paws too." Xiang Han, who was the same year as Xiang Zhuang, hurriedly said: "It's soft and glutinous, and the soup (soup) is so fresh that it can melt people's tongues." ”

Xiang Zhuang nodded, admitting that the taste of bear's paws in his memory was also like this, but Xiang Yan's great-grandson, who was not yet seventeen years old, was confused when he heard it, and said in confusion: "When we were young, did we eat so many good things?" Why don't I remember at all? ”

"You weren't even two years old at the time, so of course you can't remember." Xiang Zhuang pointed out the reason, and sighed: "It would be good if the eldest father and Chu Guo were still there, so why would we be able to live in such a broken place and eat such pig and dog food?" ”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little depressing, the children of the Xiang family, who had experienced a good time of brocade clothes and jade food in their childhood, no longer laughed and played, everyone showed nostalgia, Xiang Guan also said with great regret: "It's a pity that my eldest father lost the battle in Qi County, otherwise he would not have died, and our Chu State would not have died." ”

The atmosphere in the room was even more depressing, and the children of the Xiang family couldn't help but be even more speechless when they thought of their relatives' homeland, and the room became unusually quiet. However, at this time, a voice suddenly sounded, and said in a somewhat lazy tone: "Who said that our Chu State is dead?" The court of Chu is gone, but thousands of Chu people are still there. Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu. ”

Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu. Of course, it is Xiang Kang who can say this, and the reason for saying this is very simple - he is bored and retells a historical saying. But the history is sparse, but Xiang Kang didn't know that this sentence had not yet appeared, so after hearing this, the Xiang brothers not only looked at each other, but also asked Xiang Kang one after another: "Xiang Kang, what did you say?" Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu? What does this mean? ”

The words were out and could not be taken back, Xiang Kang could only say again: "The meaning of this sentence is that even if there are only three clans or three families left in the Chu State, the Qin State can be destroyed, and the one who will end the tyranny of the King of Qin in the future and save the people of the world from the dire situation must be our Chu people!" ”

"Why must it be us Chu people? Can't it be from the other six countries? Xiang Han asked suspiciously, and the other Xiang brothers also followed suit.

"Qin swallows the world, among the six countries, our Chu country loses the most!"

Forced to be helpless, Xiang Kang could only cheer up, while recalling his pitiful historical knowledge, he said with a heartfelt voice: "Our Chu State was deceived twice by Qin Xiang Zhang Yi and lost a large piece of land!" Wuguan Huimeng, our king of Chu was shamelessly detained and imprisoned by the Qin State, causing our king to die in a foreign land! Later, the army of our Chu State opened up territory for China and made an expedition to Dianchi, and the people of Qin took the opportunity to sneak attack and break through the Yingdu of our Chu people! These things, which one of our Chu people is convinced, and which one doesn't hate Qin and King Qin to the bone? And what kind of Chu people don't want to take revenge, step through Xianyang, and be ashamed of their blood? ”

The brothers of the Xiang family looked Xiang Kang up and down as if they didn't know each other, and after a while, Xiang Zhuang said: "Although the words are reasonable, will we Chu people have such an opportunity?" ”

"There will be, there will be." Xiang Kang said with great confidence: "Although the Qin State has now swept away the Six Kingdoms in reputation and unified the world, the six people are not attached to it, and the King of Qin has acted perversely and abused the people's power, and he doesn't know how to rest with the people and appease the people. At the Lishan construction site, countless prisoners are dying of exhaustion every day! On the main roads and small roads of various counties and counties, there were not countless prisoners and civilians who were forced to serve in Lishan that day? In the prison cells of the officials of the Qin State, wasn't that one full of innocent people who had been severely punished for minor crimes? On the execution ground, on that day, no people were cut in waist and cars, and their hands and feet were cut off? How could the court of Qin, which treated the people so cruelly, be so long? ”

After talking endlessly, Xiang Kang waved his hand again and said in a deep voice: "So I dare to guarantee that in three years at most, or at least two years, the people of the world will definitely rebel because they can't stand the tyranny of Qin, and fight to the death with the tyranny of Qin!" Don't tell me why the people of the world rebel for a while, but they will die, and if they don't rebel, they will die, as long as the people of the world have a little ambition, who wants to just be a fish on the anvil, and don't want to fight to the death with the tyrannical Qin? Kill yourself to survive? ”

"At that time, because the blood debt is not far away, coupled with the fact that we are the people of Chu State, there are countless people who cherish our homeland, and we Chu people will inevitably become the main force against Qin! The core backbone of the bloody battle with the tyrannical Qin! Because the tiger and wolf are tyrannical Qin, they owe us too much to the people of Chu! ”

Xiang Kang was impassioned and talking, but no one of the Xiang family members present spoke, but it was not that they didn't want to speak, but they all lost their minds and opened their mouths wide. It was still a long time before Xiang Zhuang was the first to come back to his senses, first picked up the wine urn and poured it into his mouth, and then put down the wine urn and wiped his mouth, panting and said: "Happy!" Xiang Kang's words made me happy! That's right, although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu! ”

"Come, Xiang Kang, brother, I'll give you a bowl!" Xiang Han handed a bowl of wine to Xiang Kang with both hands, and said with an excited expression: "If nothing else, just say these words to you just now!" Brother, I'm convinced, well said, right! The people of Qin owe us the blood debt of the people of Chu, and we of Chu will definitely be able to recover it by ourselves in the future! ”

After Xiang Han took the lead, the other children of the Xiang family also woke up like a dream, and hurriedly raised the bowl to toast Xiang Kang, Xiang Zhuang also simply raised the wine jar to toast Xiang Kang, and finally Xiang Kang, who was prevaricating for a while, quietly wiped a cold sweat and said secretly: "Fortunately, all the people present are the brothers of the Xiang family, and they all hate the Qin Dynasty to the bone, and they will definitely not sell me, and you have to be careful when you speak in the future. ”
