――――――――

At the corner of the street, there is an ancient locust tree.

I guess it's been a few years, the trunk is thick, and it takes two or three people to hug it. The branches are spread out like a big umbrella.

A pretty woman in her thirties was standing under a tree.

He was followed by a boy who looked to be in his teens, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, thick eyebrows and big eyes. The skin is bronzed and the physique is very stout. It's just that the boy's gaze looks a little dull, and he stands beside the woman, staring blankly.

At the corner of his mouth, a string of shiny saliva was wiped off.

This pretty woman, Liu Kan knows. It was the female owner of the wine shop who came to Pei County that day and tried to eat the first time he drank, Wang Ji.

However, Liu Kan and this amorous female shopkeeper really don't have much to do with each other.

Except for the two drinks with Zhen Shiqi at the beginning, he basically didn't see Wang Ji again, and he didn't even say a few words.

Liu Kan pointed to himself suspiciously, meaning to say: Did you call me?

Wang Ji used a very clean handkerchief to wipe the saliva from the corner of the boy next to him, took the boy's hand, and walked to Liu Kan.

"Little brother, I haven't seen you for a while!"

Wang Ji's appearance is a little thin, and at this moment, she does not have the pungency and style in the wine shop that day, she is steady and dignified, and she looks like she has another taste.

yes, I haven't seen you in a few days!

It has been more than a year since Liu Kan was punished, how could he have seen Wang Ji? Pei County's prison is in the south of the city, and Wang Ji's liquor shop is on the other side. Even if you are punished every day, you rarely have the opportunity to pass by the liquor store. Liu Kan smiled slightly and looked at the boy beside Wang Ji.

"My sister just called me?"

Wang Ji is older than Liu Kan, and in this year, there is no title of boss. simply followed the name of the judge and called her sister.

Wang Ji nodded, "I saw Brother Ah Kan go to Ah Qi just now, I wanted to say hello, but I was worried that my brother's matter would be delayed, so I waited here...... Brother Kan, I won't delay you in anything, if so, let's go back and talk about it. ”

When this woman spoke, she spoke with a soft voice unique to Wu Nong, a water town.

Liu Kan knew that Wang Ji must have something, otherwise, he would not have waited here. But what could it be?

"My sister has something to say, but it's okay to say it, I don't have a big deal at this time."

Wang Ji looked embarrassed and hesitated for a long time, then said timidly: "Brother Kan, my wine shop is no longer done." ”

"Oh?" Liu Kan was stunned, "Why don't you do it?" ”

Wang Ji smiled bitterly, "It's not that I don't want to do it, I really can't do it anymore." Brother Kan, you may not know...... As soon as your Surabaya flower sculpture comes out, who wants to drink our vulgar drink? Not only me, but many liquor stores in the city can't do it anymore. Wu Ji's liquor store was closed half a year ago, and she took her daughter with her, saying that she went out with someone to find business. ”

Takehime?

Liu Kan really didn't have the slightest impression.

It's no wonder that he rarely drinks alcohol on weekdays, even if he occasionally does it twice, he goes to Wang Ji's wine shop with him. Takehime's name, he had only heard of it, but he had never been there. Not to mention that Wu Ji, Liu Kan doesn't know what he even looks like.

I can't help but feel a little forgiving.

only cares about his own family and gets rich, but forgets about others.

Liu Kan said softly: "Sister, although the Surabaya flower carving is good, it is expensive, how can an idler afford to drink it?" ”

Wang Ji smiled bitterly, "I can't afford to drink it, but I can't stop your mellow fragrance." In some places, they simply bought Huadiao at a high price, and then mixed it with water, although it is not as authentic as the original, it is also better than our own inferior wine. In this way, the price is cheap. ”

Fake wine mixed with water?

Liu Kan was a little confused. I didn't expect that in this era, there is a talk of fake wine?

"Well, I'm not to blame you." Wang Ji saw that Liu Kan's face was cloudy, and hurriedly said, "Actually, I have something to ask you. ”

"Please?"

Liu Kan didn't quite understand what Wang Ji asked of him. And to put it mildly, he doesn't have any friendship with Wang Ji, and it's not even as good as judging him. This inexplicable sentence made Liu Kan a little confused, so he looked at Wang Ji suspiciously, waiting for her to continue.

Wang Ji seemed a little embarrassed, and said softly: "Actually, I also know that I shouldn't come to ask Brother Akan...... But I don't feel at ease when I ask for others. I know, Brother Akan, you are a person who talks about righteousness, in this Peixian City, when it comes to your Brother Akan, everyone must praise a good man...... I can't keep the liquor store open, but I have to find some work anyway. I've heard that Xiangxian is recruiting. ”

"Conscription?"

Wang Ji nodded, "Yes, recruit some women, say it's laundry and cooking." But what exactly is being done, I don't know yet. So, I want to go to Xiangxian to have a look...... If it's good, in three years and five years, you can save some money, and you can have a settlement in the future.

Just ......"

Speaking of this, Wang Ji glanced at the boy beside her with loving eyes.

"This is my son, named Wang Xin, who is only eight years old this year. He is very honest, can work, and is very obedient...... When I used to open a wine shop, I was helped a lot. It's just that...... It's a bit stupid. I went to find a job, but I couldn't take him with me, so I wanted to bother my brother to take care of it. ”

Stupid?

You're a fool...... However, this kid is a big fight, but he has a fight with Liu Kan. He is only eight years old, but he looks like he is in his teens. Liu Kan squatted down, but the stupid boy Wang Xin instinctively shrank back, grabbed the hand at the corner of Wang Ji's clothes, tightened, and refused to let go.

"He's ......"

Wang Ji hurriedly said, "Brother Akan, don't misunderstand. Faith is not hiding from you, it is just ...... You also know that it is not easy for a woman like me to make a living. Sometimes the letter is not sensible and is beaten...... Children of the same age also bully him, in fact, the letter is really honest and will not cause you too much trouble. As long as you give him a bite to eat and let him do anything, he can do anything. ”

This is a sour heart for no reason.

Liu Kan stretched out his hand and touched Wang Xin's head.

"Sister, why did Xiangxian recruit women?"

"I don't know, it's said that I want to go to the south and get the New Year's Salary...... But I didn't know exactly what it was doing, so I went to see it. ”

The southern expedition must be the southern expedition to Baiyue!

If Liu Kan was still a little uncertain before, then now, he can be completely sure.

The Qin army's conquest of Baiyue did not leave too much ink in the history books. Liu Kan only had an impression, vaguely remembering that many people died. Wang Ji's body bones, if you go to Baiyue, wouldn't it be ...... Not to mention anything else, the climate of Baiyue alone is terrible.

In his previous life, Liu Kan had read a book about exhibitions in the Lingnan region.

The Lingnan area was first called Baiyue, and there are many indigenous people, as well as fierce beasts. At the time of the Qin and Han dynasties, Baiyue was still a wild area. High mountains and dense jungles...... The most terrible thing is the miasma there, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life.

"Sister, I advise you not to go!"

Liu Kan stood up and said in a deep voice: "This official recruitment is by no means an ordinary trivial matter. Yesterday, a group of young and strong prisoners were escorted to Xiangxian County, maybe they will fight. If you go, whether you can get the money is a matter of whether you can save your life. ”

Liu Kan's voice was very small, but Wang Ji could hear it clearly.

Suddenly, the flowers lost their color, and they couldn't help but gasp. She also knows that Liu Kan is not an ordinary person now...... It was a 'shi' recognized by the imperial court. To be able to say this is by no means without purpose. But if you don't go, how will you live in the future?

Liu Kan thought about it and looked at Wang Xin again.

Suddenly, he said: "Sister, my mother is already old, and she takes care of the housework all day long, and I really can't bear to be a son." You are a diligent person, and you have quick hands and feet, why don't you go to my house and help me take care of my mother's life. Sewing and mending, washing and washing, cooking, helping to take care of the fields. As for my side, I guess I'll be very busy in the future, and I'll be bothered by you when I'm not there.

The letter is still young, and it can't do without you.

Take him to my house...... You don't have to worry about eating, you will be paid 500 yuan a year, and when you want to leave, you can do whatever you want. ”

500 yuan, that is equivalent to a farmer's income for a year.

Wang Ji was overjoyed when she heard this, took Wang Xin's hand, and was about to kneel down and kowtow to Liu Kan on the street.

Liu Kan stopped the mother and son, and said softly: "Sister, you go to my house first with the letter, and when you see my mother, you say that I asked you to go." Settle down first, and I'll talk about the rest when I get back...... I still have a little business here, so I can't go back with you. ”

Wang Ji nodded again and again, and then took his stupid son Wang Xin and walked out of the city.

If it is not a last resort, who wants to abandon their family and children to go out to earn a living? Oh, maybe someone is willing, but Liu Kan can't agree.

The war against Baiyue is about to begin.

So how long will it take for the world to be in chaos and Qin loses his deer?

Liu Kan didn't know, but the pressure in his heart became greater. Seeing this Wang Ji's mother and son leave, he couldn't help but sigh, turned around and walked towards Cao Wuxian's house.

That's it, one step at a time......

There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the best way now is to accumulate strength. Once chaos occurs, it can also have the power of self-preservation.

Wait!

Liu Kan suddenly remembered something, and his eyes lit up, and he thought about it.
