At this time, the old man was also quietly looking at Ji Hu in front of him, recalling the appearance when he first met, that day it was about to snow, and a few ewes were about to give birth, so he was ready to go to the mountains to collect some dry leaves and come back to give them a nest, but he didn't expect to meet a young man lying on the ground, and he went forward to find out that there was still a snort, and then checked, there were no scars on his body, so he carried him back.

Although the clothes were worn and the face was full of dirt, after scrubbing, I found that the skin was fine and tender, and the face was extravagant, I felt that this person should definitely be very human.

At this time, I saw that he had not even eaten sweet potatoes, although he thought it was delicious, and he did not gobble it up, but took a small bite, closed his mouth and savored it, and did not make any sound.

The old man was even more sure that he was definitely not an idle person, and suddenly wondered in his heart, who would he be?

"Uncle, you can eat too! It was the most delicious food I've ever had! ”

Ji Hu clapped his hands, the sweet potato had been eaten by him, and he also pulled the old man out of his thoughts.

"Okay, there's still a lot in the pot, eat it slowly!"

The old man looked pity, and handed another sweet potato to Ji Hu, Ji Hu took it and put it back in the pot, but his eyes stayed on the old man's hand for a moment.

"Uncle, I've eaten well, keep it for lunch...... Eat again for lunch. Ji was suddenly shocked, and almost blurted out the word lunch, his identity could not be exposed at will.

"It seems that Childe's meal is very small, so it's fine." The old man paused and said, "Who is Childe?" Looking at the son's dignified appearance and talent, he doesn't look like an ordinary man, the old man is a little curious, why did the son appear alone in this barren mountains and mountains? ”

Ji Hu had expected the old man to ask, so he got up and saluted the old man in a proper manner.

"Thank you uncle for saving your life! Please be worshipped! ”

Then he said unhurriedly: "Xiaosheng Jihu, Zheng Guoren's family, was originally going out to study, but he was separated from the servants on the way, and he strayed into the jungle and got lost. ”

"I see, this is Weiguo, you can call the old man Fan Shaobo!"

In fact, Fan Shaobo has already doubted Ji Hu's identity by virtue of this short exchange, and twice missaid the word "widow" and changed his words, it is okay to hide from ordinary people, for him Fan Shaobo, it is estimated that it is a little difficult, but he understands, looking at the situation, this young man should also have unspeakable secrets, how can he casually believe in people and tell his life experience.

The wind was blowing, and the unique smell of cattle and sheep and other animals wafted in the air, and the corners of Fan Shaobo's lips raised slightly.

"Ji Hu, let's go to the market with the old man to sell sheep! It's snowing! It's the best time to eat mutton, and it's a big supplement! ”

Ji Hu thought to himself, no one should know him in Weiguo! What's more, if Ji Tururu really wanted to kill himself, he shouldn't let himself escape so far, so he looked himself up and down, and said a little shyly: "It's good, it's just ......."

originally invited him to the market, but he just wanted to test him, but he didn't expect it to be as he expected, he was not afraid to show his head, could it be that the old man guessed wrong? Fan Shaobo said with a haha: "Oh! You think your clothes are dirty, right? It doesn't matter, if you don't dislike it, the old man will find you two changes of clothes to make? ”

"That couldn't be better, thank you Famber!"

Fan Shaobo quickly took out a set of light gray linen brown skirts from the suitcase, Ji ignored the clumsy change of clothes, after all, it was usually the father-in-law who helped take care of the clothes, not to mention that this brown skirt was worn for the first time, it was normal to be a little rusty, these Fan Shaobo saw it in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, and went to lead the sheep and the old and the young to set off.

There are places on the mountain road where the snow is thicker, and the road is narrower, Ji Hu picked up dry branches on the side of the road as a crutch, always carefully explored the road with branches before walking, and then turned around to pick up Fan Shaobo, reminding from time to time: "Fan Bo, slow down, beware of stepping into the air." "Fan Bo beware of slippery feet, come and I'll help you!"

Fan Shaobo just smiled and didn't say anything, letting Ji Hu help him. I thought in my heart: I have more experience than you on this mountain road, although I don't know what you are tripping up, but from some small things you can see a person's character, a person's character and morality are good or bad, which directly affects his life. Such a kind person, if he is not successful in some places, it is only temporary, it does not mean that he will not be able to succeed in his life, Fan Shaobo gradually began to like Ji Hu from the bottom of his heart.

"Uncle Fan, why don't you see your family?"

"It's not a secret, the old man is the same as you, he was originally from Chu State, he has traveled to several countries, and now he has not lived in the country for a long time, and his family has not brought it."

"I see, but the country of Chu is an enviable country with vast land and abundant resources, so why should Fan Bo live in another country?"

"Although the state of Chu is good, if you are born as a commoner, you are destined to never have a chance with your career, and those nobles, even if they don't know a lot of words, they can also prosper in official luck, the old man feels aggrieved, the world is so wide, the sky is high and the birds fly, see how easy the old man is, hahaha!"

"I didn't expect that the politics of such a big country as Chu would be so dark."

"Darkness knows no borders, everywhere."

Ji Hu couldn't help but sigh: "Ji Hu felt that Fan Bo's words were quite reasonable from the beginning, it turned out that he was also a person with lofty ambitions for the country, and he was sincere and friendly to people, so that talents with both ability and political integrity were not reused, it was really a big loss for the Chu State!" ”

"Although the suspicion of sycophants is very serious, Fan is still willing to listen, hahahaha!" Fan Shaobo's hearty laughter echoed in the valley, long and long.

"Speaking of horses, why does Fan Bo think of raising cattle and sheep?"

Ji Hu, who was walking through the mountains in a cloth suit, seemed to have suddenly changed a different person, changed the dullness of the past, as if his heart was much broader, and the troubles in his heart seemed to disappear, and the conversation with Fan Shaobo unconsciously increased.

Fortunately, Fan Shaobo is also talkative, and when he talks about the way to make money, he talks about it with relish.

"How can you swim around without money, and drink the northwest wind to travel poorly? What's more, even if you go out to study, you still can't ignore whether your family is or not, so the old man has to make money to support his family. As for why you want to raise cattle and sheep, but also raise cows and sheep, because they can give birth, this is full of natural feed, cattle can help farmers cultivate crops and crops, sheep can eat meat, skins can also make clothes, cattle and sheep are inseparable from people's production and life, do you say that money is the fastest? ”

"Fan Bo's mind is really thoughtful, if everyone learns like you, won't everyone become rich?" Ji Hu was sincerely admired, the elder in front of him was really not simple, but he didn't expect Fan Shaobo's next words to surprise him even more.

"Only when you become rich can the country be strong!"

This sentence invisibly aroused Ji Hu's greater interest, and he was secretly glad that he had met a virtuous person, so he hurriedly asked while the iron was hot.

"Chatting with Fan Bo is all knowledge, so what does the wealth of the people have to do with the strength of the country?"

"Do you think, when the people are rich, will they have food, clothing, less sickness, and stronger bodies? Wouldn't that be the money to pay taxes to the state? Then the country is more humane to the people, and the people love their country more, naturally, the country's military level will also improve, so that when the country is strong, other countries will not dare to invade, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years, it turns out that these great principles of governing the country are hidden in life."

"It seems that you are also interested in governing the country!"

“……”

The talk is speculative, and the sheep are sold quickly. Sure enough, the fat and tender sheep loved the people in this snowflake season, and after a while, all the sheep were sold out, and the two went home.

It's just that the two of them are talking about the excitement, and no one noticed that someone is secretly following them all the way.
