Above the night sky, the stars are dotted. The moonlight is sprinkled, rendering the heavens and the earth. The four of them sat opposite each other, and for a while, they were speechless.

After being silent for a long time, Uncle Lizheng sighed faintly and said, "Where are you from, and where are you going?" ”

……

Hearing this, Hu Hai sighed and said, "Qin Wuzhu is from Xianyang, and he wants to go to Lintao to take a look at the old Qin people and the old Qin's hometown!" ”

"Old Qin's hometown is the pride of the old Qin people!" The old man sighed leisurely, under the starry sky, there was a trace of sadness in his tone, and his figure was even more gloomy.

"The wine is coming——!

At this time, an eleven or twelve-year-old girl stepped on straw sandals, wore a short shirt full of patches and could not see the color, and walked out with a large jar.

The girl has a lot of strength, and she doesn't have any difficulty in holding the wine jar. She poured a large bowl of rice wine from the jar, pushed it in front of Hu Hai and the others, and laughed in a low voice: "Home-brewed rice wine, you can't usually drink it, you drink it." ”

As a result of the hike all the way, Hu Hai was indeed extremely thirsty. Without modesty, he directly picked up the big bowl and drank it all. After swallowing the rice wine in a few sips, I suddenly felt a strong earthy smell mixed with the smell of rot.

He knew in his heart that this taste was due to the fact that the raw materials for sake brewing were too mixed. As soon as he thought of this, Hu Hai felt a little uncomfortable.

He didn't expect that the homeland of the Great Qin Empire, one of the birthplaces of the Old Qin people, would be barren to this point.

What is the difference between such a state and being poor and white at the time of dedication? You must know that this should have been the most prosperous time of the Great Qin Empire.

With some complications in his heart, Hu Hai wiped his sleeve in his mouth and smiled: "Thank you." The old man glanced at Hu Hai and said with a smile: "The old Qin people are poor, and this rice wine is not often drunk. ”

"The fire cage is ready!" The boy's screams could be heard outside the door, and the fire could be faintly seen, splashing sparks in the wind.

Uncle Lizheng got up: "Let's go, the old Qin people will welcome guests if they have them, and it will be lively." Mother-in-law, woman, all go. ”

A bonfire was lit in the threshing floor in front of the door, on which a wild sheep and seven or eight hares were roasted. Due to the silence in the village, the movement of the Rimasa family suddenly woke everyone up.

In a short period of time, the old and young masters in the village all gathered around. A group of people gathered around the bonfire, and some of them talked excitedly.

The children excitedly carried the dead branches they had hoarded and threw them into the fire, and the bonfire was blazing, and the golden grease stains fell into the fire, and the thunderbolt bar was blaring.

……

The fire was fierce and rose with the wind, illuminating half of the village. There have been no guests in this remote poor ravine for many years, and once there are guests, it is a happy day for the whole village.

Regardless of the season, the mountain people will light a bonfire to welcome guests, which is a simple custom formed by the old Qin people and Rong Di living together for hundreds of years.

Lao Qin people are hospitable and have always been famous!

……

There is a bright moon in the sky and a bonfire underground. Hu Hai, the second emperor of the Great Qin Empire, looked at the old Qin people full of joy like this, with a smile on the corner of his mouth and a trace of sadness in his heart.

This is his people, this is his empire!

The people are simple and kind, and the empire is iron-blooded and domineering. At this moment, Hu Hai's idea of recasting the Great Qin Empire in his heart was never stronger.

He used to have this idea because of his identity, his surname. Because once the Great Qin Empire was abandoned, Hu Hai had no other way to choose.

Even if it was a time traveler, Hu Hai never thought of the terrible word death.

It is precisely in this way that there is a series of unwilling struggles. It's just that it doesn't matter if you kill Zhao Gao, defeat Liu Ji, or go to Xiangyu with Xiang Yu.

From beginning to end, Hu Hai had only one purpose. It's not about recasting Great Qin, it's about keeping yourself alive.

All this is because although he has respect for the old Qin people. It grew up in the homeland of Lao Qin, but the memories of Lao Qin people only come from books.

It is the hospitality of the old Qin people, the simplicity and kindness of the old Qin people, and the fierceness of the old Qin people on the battlefield. Let Hu Hai truly integrate into it, he wants to recast Daqin.

Not only for themselves, but also for these old Qin people who regard the Great Qin Empire as their faith.

"Rice wine—" The old man with the broken arm beside Hu Hai ordered hoarsely. In this day and age, people are always gathered together as a family.

The old man is the patriarch of the village, and he is the most authoritative in the clan, even if he is appointed by the government, sometimes he has to listen to the old man.

As the clan elder gave an order, a young man suddenly walked out, carrying a wine jar and filling the wine bowl in front of everyone.

Due to the young man's skill, the wine bowl was filled in an instant, and there was no trace of waste on the long case.

At this moment, even Hu Hai was surprised. Obviously, the young man has real kung fu under his hands.

……

At this time, the rickety Lao Li was raising the wine bowl and shaking it to Hu Hai and the three of them, and then turned to the villagers, hissed, and said, "Distinguished guests are coming from afar, rice wine, dry-"

Without further ado, he drank it with a coo. After three sips in a row, I drank all the rice wine in the large bowl and put the wine bowl down.

……

Hu Hai naturally knew the bad taste of rice wine, but he also had an almost instinctive rejection of drinking. It's just that the hospitality of the old Qin people makes him reluctant to break this moment.

Adhering to the idea of the guest following the host, seeing that Li was drinking, Hu Hai also raised the bowl and said: "Thank you to the old Li Zheng, thank you to the father and brother." "Drink it all in one go.

Seeing this, the clan elder smiled: "Far away, this clan is barren and has nothing to entertain, only this bad rice wine!" ”

Hu Hai smiled bitterly and said, "Qin Wuzhu has come from afar, and it is already kind for the clan elder to be able to take him in. ”

……

The villagers laughed together, and the clan elder looked at Hu Hai Zhengse and said, "The old man is right, the distant guest is from the imperial capital Xianyang?" ”

Hu Hai was silent for a moment, arched his hand and smiled, and said: "I don't hide the old man, but I am from the Xianyang Imperial Capital." I came here to see the old Qin homeland and the old Qin people in the homeland! ”

Lao Lizheng said with a smile: "Today is different from the past, the homeland of Lao Qin is barren, and the old Qin people are young and strong to die for the country and fight for the first emperor, and most of them have gone and never returned." ”

"So much so that most of the old Qin's homeland is uncultivated. In the villages, most of them are disabled soldiers returning to their hometowns! ”

Hu Hai heard it sourly, arched his hand, and said: "Old Qin, go to the national disaster together!" ”

At this moment, apart from this sentence of the old Qin people's oath, Hu Hai didn't know how to take it. He knew in his heart that the old Qin people were not afraid of life and death for the Great Qin Empire.

The reason why the Great Qin Empire went from a small country in the west to annex the world was because of the blood of the old Qin people. It can be said that on the land of the Central Plains, there are dripping blood of the old Qin people everywhere.

"Old Qin, go to the national disaster together!" At this moment, the men, women and children on the threshing floor all chanted silently.

……

The purge at this moment made Hu Hai's heart tremble slightly. Perhaps only with this kind of spirit can Lao Qin survive in the cracks, and then come out of the world!
