Qin Chuan had a long dream, in which he vaguely saw his mother's figure, but no matter how he ran, he couldn't touch that figure. I could only stand in place, looking at the blurred figure, crying. I don't know how long it took, when he slowly opened his eyes, he saw an unfamiliar environment.

The black and yellow roof, the hard bed board under him, and the side saw a thin old man sitting opposite him with a wooden stick, and saw Qin Chuan open his eyes with a smile on his face.

"Where is this... I'm still alive..."Qin Chuan whispered weakly.

"The baby has such strong perseverance, and he actually came back to life." After the old man said a word, he got up and walked towards the outside of the house, as if to call someone, because Qin Chuan vaguely heard the sound of the old man shouting loudly outside the house.

After a while, an obese woman walked in from the outside with a pottery bowl, walked to the bed, and looked at Qin Chuan who opened her eyes, with a touch of joy on her face. Helped Qin Chuan up from the bed, leaned against the wall, and handed the pottery bowl in his hand to Qin Chuan.

"Baby, can you eat by yourself?" The woman asked Qin Chuan in Qin Tutu's dialect.

Qin Chuan was naturally able to understand the woman's words, and just wanted to reach out and take the pottery bowl, but he found that he couldn't use any strength because of the pain all over his body, so he looked at the woman and shook his head.

"This baby is not a dumb person." As the woman spoke, she handed the pottery bowl to Qin Chuan's mouth.

Looking at the black sticky thing in the pottery bowl, Qin Chuan closed his mouth, and just wanted to shake his head to refuse, only to see the woman pinching Qin Chuan's chin. Under the pain, Qin Chuan subconsciously opened his mouth, and the things in the pottery bowl were poured into Qin Chuan's mouth by the woman.

It's a little sour and a little bitter, anyway, it tastes weird, I don't know what it is.

Soon, the black sticky thing in the pottery bowl was swallowed into Qin Chuan's stomach, and he looked at the woman with a bitter face.

"What does the baby know, there are several kinds of herbs in it, and I am reluctant to give it to ordinary people." Seeing that Qin Chuan finished eating, the woman said very happily.

"Thank you..."Qin Chuan struggled to spit out two words from his mouth.

"Yo, the baby is not dumb, what are you doing so politely, take my medicine, sleep well, and wake up." The woman helped Qin Chuan to lie on the bed again.

"What a handsome boy." The woman smiled and complimented. Covered the broken quilt on Qin Chuan's body and walked out of the house.

Qin Chuan looked at the black and yellow roof, stunned, he only remembered that he wanted to continue his journey after eating the dry cakes, and then he lost consciousness, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw the scene just now.

Then, Qin Chuan was shocked, stretched out his hand and groped on his body for a while, the jade pendant was still on his body, but the long sword was indeed not there, just wanted to get up, turned his head and found that the long sword was quietly placed in the corner of the room, so he was relieved.

I don't know what the black thing I ate just now was, just after such a short period of effort, my body felt a little warm, and a wave of sleepiness came to him, and Qin Chuan fell asleep again.

When Qin Chuan woke up again, it was pitch black outside, only an oil lamp glowing with a faint light. At this time, Qin Chuan felt comfortable all over his body, and raised his hand, although it was still a little sore, but it was much better than before. As soon as I wanted to get up, I heard an old voice from the side.

"The baby woke up, how does it feel? Doesn't it feel better? ”

Qin Chuan sat up and just wanted to get out of bed to salute and thank the old man, but was stopped by the old man, saying that there was not so much attention in the ravine, as long as Qin Chuan could come back to life, the whole village would be very happy.

So Qin Chuan asked the old man where this was and how he came here.

The old man sighed with a look of embarrassment, and praised Qin Chuan's good luck. Someone in the village happened to go out of the village to run errands, and when he came back, he happened to meet Qin Chuan lying in the snow, so he carried him back.

Listening to the old man's words, Qin Chuan also felt a little lucky, it was cold and snowy, if someone hadn't brought him here, I am afraid that he would already be a corpse at this time.

Thanking the old man again, Qin Chuan opened his mouth and asked the old man, "Old man, how long have I been asleep?" ”

"Today is the third day, and after one more night's sleep, you can get out of bed and walk, the baby's body can recover very quickly." The old man looked at Qin Chuan with a happy smile on his face.

After saying this, the old man got up and went to sleep in another room, Qin Chuan lay on the bed, and after a while, he fell asleep again.

The next day, Qin Chuan was woken up by hunger, and as soon as he got up, he saw a pottery bowl next to the bed, and inside the pottery bowl was a paste of wild vegetables mixed with unknown things. Maybe it's because I'm hungry, although it doesn't look good, it does have a different taste to eat, anyway, Qin Chuan is gobbling up the things in the pottery bowl.

After burping, Qin Chuan got off the bed and walked towards the outside of the house, and when he walked outside, he saw the old man sitting on a wooden stake basking in the sun.

"Yo, the baby is up, have you eaten the rice in the pottery bowl?" The old man looked at Qin Chuan with concern.

"Old man, I'm done eating." After speaking, he solemnly bowed to the old man.

The old man smiled and waved his hand, saying again and again that there was no need to be so polite.

"The baby has a good appetite, come, talk to me." The old man pointed to the wooden pier beside him and said.

Qin Chuan also smiled, walked to the old man's side, and sat beside the old man.

"Old man, where is this?" Qin Chuan asked the question in his heart.

"The poor countryside in the ravines and ravines has no name, but everyone calls this village half a village." The old man said with a smile.

In the villages of the Qin State, they all become villages, but in private, people will still become such and such villages. But calling Banjie Village is something that Qin Chuan has never heard of.

Seeing the puzzled expression on Qin Chuan's face, the old man laughed twice and said with a smile: "The people here are either old and weak women and children, or wounded soldiers who have retired from the army. ”

It was the first time Qin Chuan had heard such a statement, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still asked, "Could it be that everyone here has joined the army?" ”

"No, half of the people in the village have joined the army." The old man showed a look of pride on his face, and then became lonely again, as if he thought of something sad, and then sighed and said: "Those who can come back alive are all wounded soldiers who lack arms and legs, even if they are injured, they can't rob them, and they can't kill the enemy." ”

"Old man, do these people have a reward? Can there be a bereavement pension issued by the local government, can there be merit? Qin Chuan had read Wei Ying's decree, so he was puzzled.

"There is no reward and pension, it is the biggest reward to come back alive, and besides, there is no credit for killing the enemy before, and the credit has been taken away by the general who is a big official." The old man said calmly, as if he was saying another thing that was taken for granted.

Qin Chuan had heard a little about the darkness of the army, but after really hearing the old man's narration, he had a real understanding of the darkness of the army.

"Did the old man ever complain?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Old Qin, go to the country together, born as a man of Qin, it is a matter of course to go into battle to kill the enemy, how can a man who has not killed the enemy become a Qin person. How can there be complaints. The old man said solemnly, then looked at Qin Chuan and asked, "Baby, do you know why Qin Jun can make people from other countries talk about it?" ”

"Why?" Qin Chuan asked curiously.

"Every time there is a big battle, the Qin army will definitely fight to the death, no soldiers will retreat, no soldiers will surrender, even if there is the last person left, they will charge the enemy." As he spoke, there was a hint of murder on his body.

Feeling the murderous aura emanating from the old man, Qin Chuan was in awe. The Qin people are still martial, not only because of the Qin State's perennial conquests, but also because of the momentum in the bones of the Qin people who will not retreat from the battle as if they were dead.

"Where did the baby come from and where is it going?" The old man squinted his eyes and looked at Qin Chuan, who was stunned, and asked.

Hearing the old man's inquiry, Qin Chuan remembered that he had just listened to what the old man said, and forgot to introduce himself, so he said to the old man: "Old man, my name is Qin Chuan from Yongcheng, and I want to go to Chencang City to find someone and do some things." ”

"Yo, what can the baby do if he is too young, I don't know what your family has in mind, I'm not afraid that you will be eaten by a beast halfway." The old man said with a sigh on his face.

"Old man, don't worry, I have a long sword by my side, ordinary people can't hurt me." Qin Chuan said to the old man with a smile.

"The baby has such skills at a young age, and when he grows up, he can go into battle to kill the enemy, and now the army has changed, and he has merit in killing the enemy, not only can he be canonized, but he can also be rewarded, and he can protect the family, but it is much better than before." Speaking of these old people, they are also very happy.

"Well, when I grow up, I will definitely go into battle to kill the enemy, become a big official, and build a big house for the elderly." Qin Chuan also echoed the old man and said.

Hearing Qin Chuan say this, the old man was immediately very happy, and he became enthusiastic about Qin Chuan, constantly praising Qin Chuan for not only being handsome, but also having high skills, and he would definitely be able to be a big official in the future.

Who said that people are confused when they get old, isn't this quite shrewd, Qin Chuan thought in his heart.

"Baby, don't have so many things on your mind when you're young, it's not good, children, be happy, if there's something to say, it's not good for your body to hold it in your heart." The old man suddenly changed his words and said to Qin Chuan with a solemn face.

Qin Chuan was shocked in his heart, could it be that the old man knew something, Qin Chuan's eyes suddenly became vigilant.

"Haha, don't be suspicious, baby, I just saw that your eyebrows were furrowed, and you seemed to have something on your mind, tell me about it?" The old man explained to Qin Chuan.

Listening to the old man's words, Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the concerned look in the old man's eyes, he couldn't bear to hide it, but he didn't want to deceive the old man, so after thinking about it, he opened his mouth and asked, "Old man, can I ask a question?" ”

The old man nodded and motioned for Qin Chuan to continue.

"I have an elder who was killed by a senior official to protect me, so I want to take revenge and avenge that elder." Qin Chuan said with a sad face.

The old man glanced at Qin Chuan with cloudy eyes, and said to Qin Chuan: "It is a matter of course to kill people to pay for their lives, and there is nothing to say. ”

The old man's words lifted Qin Chuan's spirits, and just as he wanted to say something, he heard the old man's words continue to come: "Killing the enemy on the battlefield, you live and die, for the country and for the family." Therefore, if we kill, we will kill, and if we die, we will die, because there is a reason why we should kill and die. In the same way, your elders were killed for you, because they thought it was worth it for you to die, just like a soldier died for a general, which is a matter of course and the simplest truth. ”

The old man said so much in one breath, paused, and let Qin Chuan digest what he said, and then saw that Qin Chuan didn't speak, so he opened his mouth and persuaded again: "It's okay to take revenge, but aren't you going to die now, so aren't those elders of yours dying in vain?" ”

The old man's words were like a slap in the face, which made Qin Chuan suddenly feel that his original thoughts were a little naïve, if he failed to take revenge and lost his life, then Brother Yan Hui They didn't die in vain, who would fulfill the promise he promised Brother Yan to take care of the Yan tribe.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan fell into deep thought.
