Fan Li ran away and no longer served as an official in Wu State, which was a major event, which caused huge repercussions among the people of Wu and also caused an earthquake in the scholar class.

Because of the several major events that Fan Li did in Wu State, they were too magical and had too great an impact, so that various legends appeared among the folk.

This time and King Wu fell out, people are most interested in the cause of this incident, there are various versions of the legend, but no matter which version, the image of King Wu is negative, is an ungrateful, the image of revenge.

As for King Wu sending troops to hunt down Fan Li, it was a big penalty for King Wu.

However, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the role of public opinion can be ignored or not. The change of dynasty and regime is all about force.

Fan Li was attacked by hundreds of archers, killing the Wu army in horror and fleeing.

Fan Li had no war horse, so he had to walk. In order to avoid encountering the pursuing Wu army again, he had to take advantage of the night to hurry.

In the middle of the night, I felt hungry, so I sat down on the side of the road, ate some dry food, drank some water, rested for a while, and then continued on my way.

The speed of walking is not fast or slow, an hour (two hours) only walks fifteen or sixteen miles, and a person like Fan Li, who has martial arts, walks a little faster, and can only walk more than 100 miles a day.

Therefore, it will take some time to get out of the country of Wu.

In order to avoid encountering the Wu army and fighting or something, Fan Li tried to avoid market towns and villages, and only walked in the wilderness. The other is to travel at night and sleep during the day.

But after a few days of walking, the problem came because he was running out of dry food and could not walk hungry.

That night he stopped at the edge of a village, and decided not to go, but to wait until dawn to get some dry food from the village and replenish his provisions. And then rush again.

He sat down on the root of a haystack and decided to take a nap before talking.

It's a straw pile. The villagers harvest the rice, threshing it, and then pile it up as fuel for cooking.

The sky is almost dawn, and the eastern sky is already bright, and it will be dawn in less than half an hour. After walking all night, Fan Li was a little sleepy. Leaning on the grass, he fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

Suddenly, he was awakened by the sound of footsteps, and when he opened his eyes, the sky was already numb. I saw a village girl walking towards the haystack with a dustpan on her back, and it seemed that she was pulling the grass and going home to make breakfast.

At this time, it was still quiet in the village, and everyone did not get up. In the haze, Fan Li's robe was about the same color as straw. The village girl did not find that there was still a person hidden in the root of the haystack, and when she came nearer, suddenly a person stood up on the root of the haystack, and the girl let out a cry of fright. The dustpan was also thrown to the ground.

"Ahh

Fan Li hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Don't be afraid, girl, I'm not a bad person." ”

The girl heard Fan Li's soft speech, and bowed down to salute, with a polite appearance, stopped her steps to escape, and asked tremblingly, "Who are you?" Why here? It's scared to death. ”

Fan Li smiled and said: "In Xia Fan Li, just because I was in a hurry at night, I was a little tired, so I took a rest here, I didn't want to alarm the girl, and I asked the girl to forgive me." ”

As he spoke, the sky gradually brightened, and he could clearly see the appearance of the person opposite. The girl saw that Fan Li was polite and polite, not like a villain, and she was a lot more relieved. Look at Fan Li wearing a long shirt, carrying a sword at his waist, with a slender figure, a straight waist, and very handsome facial features. couldn't help but jump in my heart, and the face flew to the color of peach blossoms.

"You say you're ...... Fan Li? ”

Fan Li said: "It's Fan Li below, the girl has heard of this name?" ”

The girl has never seen such a good-looking man. With a shy face, he said, "Adult's name is often mentioned, so naturally I've heard of it." I didn't expect adults to appear with us. ”

Fan Li said: "Girl, can Fan Li come to your house?" Fan Li needs your help. ”

The girl glanced at Fan Li, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Come with me, adult." The girl pulled a mess of straw, pressed it in a dustpan, carried it on her shoulder, and led Fan Li into her own courtyard.

The girl shouted, "Mother, someone is coming." ”

"Who?" With the voice, a woman in her forties walked out of the kitchen, and when she saw Fan Li, she seemed to be taken aback, "Are you?" ”

Fan Li bowed down and said, "In Xia Fan Li, I have seen the big sister." ”

The girl said, "Mother, he said she was Master Fan Li." ”

The woman looked Fan Li up and down, and a peaceful smile appeared on her face: "The original Lord Fan is here, Meng Kui, please come into the house and sit down." ”

The girl, Meng Kui, blushed, and said, "My lord, please come into the house and sit." ”

It is a small farm yard with three halls and two wings, one is a utility room and the other is a kitchen. In the hall, there is a dilapidated dining table, a few pieces of wood, which is considered a stool, and two rooms in the east and west, which are the bedrooms of the mother and son. It can be said that the house is surrounded by four walls and is destitute, but the ground is very clean and the house is very tidy.

Meng Kui's mother said her name was Mei Da. She was in her forties, but she looked much older than she really was. Years of hard work have caused premature wrinkles on her face and gray hair on her head. The bun was a little unkempt, and the hairpin was just a stripped branch. Her eyes are large, but not shiny, and the skin on her face appears rough. It can be seen that when this woman was young, she was a very beautiful person.

Fan Li asked what about your man?

Meda said that the head of the family had been drafted into the army, and that one of her sons, who had died in the plague last year, now only lived with the mother and daughter.

The poor life has made this once beautiful woman dull and wooden.

She said that her family has a few acres of paddy fields, but there are no cattle, and when the farming is busy, she has to spend some grain, and ask others to plow the fields, even the usual weeding and management farm work, which is also very hard. There is no man in the family, and he is reluctant to let his daughter Meng Kui work too hard, so all the work is on this woman's shoulders. She was so miserable that she was like a wooden man.

Meida said, "Meng Kui, you talk to the adults, and I'll cook." ”

Meng Kui said she was 17 years old. Growing up, he rarely traveled outside the village. Under her mother's guidance, she learned all kinds of farm work, learned to sew clothes, and could cook.

Fan Li said that you are so old, why don't you have a mother-in-law?

Meng Kui's face flushed, and she said: "My lord, the concubine has a mother-in-law, and she originally planned to get married when she was sixteen years old last year, but unexpectedly, Wu State conscripted soldiers, and her Langjun was conscripted to be a soldier, and the marriage was delayed." ”

The girl was a little chubby, with a ruddy complexion, and her eyes were like those of his mother, they were big, and her eyes were always looking down, and she looked quiet and calm, and her breasts were large and firm. She had never seen such a beautiful man as Fan Li. While talking to Fan Li, I couldn't help but come to see Fan Li. Occasionally smile lightly, revealing white teeth.

There is not much time, breakfast is ready, farmhouse rice, fried vegetables, scrambled eggs, rice. Meida said apologetically: "My lord, I am in a hurry in the morning, and I really can't bring out anything decent to entertain my lord, so I will kill chickens at noon today to honor my lord." ”

Fan Li said gratefully: "Big sister, Fan Li is a hungry person now, where do you dare to be picky eaters, this is already very good." ”

The rice is just brown rice, and the rice is hard and doesn't taste very good. But this saves money. Fan Li still eats very well.

Fan Li said that when he passed by, he had to prepare some dry food before he could continue on the road. He asked, is there a market town here?

"Yes," said Meda, "fifteen miles away, there is a market town. We have to go to the market a few times a year to buy some salt or something. ”

The cloth they use to make their clothes is self-weaving, and the cloth is coarse, but it always covers their bodies. The dyed material is some leaves, or weeds.

The clothes of the mother and daughter are made of coarse cloth, and it seems that there is no textile technology like that of Ramie Village.

Fan Li took out a handful of silver horns from his side and said, "With this money, please prepare a little dry food for me, and you can supplement the rest for your family." ”。

The mother and daughter were terrified, they couldn't earn so much money in their lifetime, how could they accept so much money from adults for nothing?

Just as he was pushing, someone suddenly shouted: "Wu Jun has entered the village!" ”
