Chapter II: Rejection of Defections
After the relationship was finalized, the next thing was a difficult road, and suddenly from the highway in all directions, the ubiquitous modern era of reinforced concrete buildings fell into BC, although it was a compromise of the mother-son relationship imposed on him by Li Wan, the strong discomfort in his heart was still there, which made his mood very low.
didn't want to be suffocated in the narrow carriage with Li Wan, Li Han took the initiative to replace Li's mother, sat on the wheel to catch the carriage of the sitters, and the carriage with the coffin behind was driven by Lao Li, this is the entire lineup of their group.
The carriage swayed slowly, all the way along the reckless Qinling Mountains difficult walking, full of verdant and inaccessible, occasionally saw a villager harvesting corn, also with vegetables, ragged clothes, he couldn't help but secretly sigh after the second emperor Wenjing did nothing to recuperate, the wounds brought by the war to the people still have not been eliminated.
Along the way, Li Han observed the environment with a transcendent eye that understood history, and the land of Guanzhong was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the four stoppers were solid, the left was stubborn, and the right Longshu was blocked on three sides, and the princes of the east were controlled on one side, forming the outer defense line of the capital. In the near future, there are three places, Bashang, Xiliu and Thorn Gate, which constitute a military stronghold that the capital can rely on to be "impregnable". Bashang is the east gate of Xianyang and Chang'an, which has the role of shielding the capital and guarding it, and its strategic position is particularly important.
Approaching Bashang, Li Han found that the specific terrain was slightly different from the historical, here is bordered by the Qinling Mountains in the south, Bailuyuan in the north, and Bashui in the west, as the northern end of the Loess Plain, Bashang is not a point, but a crescent-shaped area, the terrain is high, steep in the east and gentle in the west, and the drop from the top of the original to the valley of the Bahe River in the northeast is very large, and he can have 300 meters by sight.
Remembering that this was the place where Gaozu Liu Bang participated in the Hongmen Banquet, Li Han was slightly excited, although Guanzhong was already peaceful at this time, but the faint knife marks on the mountain and the faint killing intent diffused between heaven and earth still made him seem to see the Jin Ge Iron Horse of that era and hear the sound of the soldiers fighting.
It's a pity that now the overlord who is brave in appearance but has a soft heart has turned into a sad exclamation mark, and the successful Han Gaozu Liu Bang, who is thick and black enough, has also turned into a pinch of loess, only this majestic and heavy overlord still bears the mission of a military powerhouse.
Along the way, Li Wan handed over all her maternal love to Li Han, and got along day and night for many days, so that Li Han recognized this poor woman, and the word "mother" was not very awkward.
But Li Wan didn't dare to treat and reprimand the picked up Li Han as a child, she had long seen that he was vastly different from ordinary children. Like now, how can a ten-year-old boy stand on the shore of the Ba Shui and look at the rolling waves with a deep look that she cannot describe in words, as if he were a master of the heavens? Therefore, although the city was close at hand, she was anxious, but she didn't dare to urge Li Han to get in the car.
Li Han looked at it, tears appeared on his face, and the memory of the hero aroused his loneliness and helplessness. Thinking that the unfamiliar Bacheng not far away might be the place where he needed to live in the Han Dynasty in this life, he actually had a kind of homesickness and timidity, and almost wanted to flee from the wilderness.
Li Wan looked at the tears on Li Han's face, and finally couldn't help but shout timidly: "Han'er, it's cool, let's get in the car......"
Turning his head slowly, Li Han looked at Li Wan's weak body and sincere and fearful eyes, and suddenly had a sense of intimacy like sympathy for the same fate, he sighed secretly, since they are both fallen people at the end of the world, and they are destined to call her mother, they will depend on each other for their lives in the future.
After all, the people on the plane are all dead, and he picked up a life by mistake, although it is weird to the Han Dynasty, after all, it is much better than being wiped out, since the rest of his life after the catastrophe, it is good to live in the Han Dynasty.
As for Li Wan's mother, Li Han laughed at himself and thought that maybe it was the additional conditions that God gave him this life, and he had to bear it.
In the bleak autumn wind, Li Han and his entourage entered Bacheng on a cloudy morning, the Ji family has practiced medicine for generations, and they are quite famous in Bacheng, and Ji Zhai easily asked.
The carriage stopped at the door of Ji's house, Li Han jumped out of the carriage and looked at it curiously, this is a very magnificent gatehouse, the pedestal is three meters high, the outer pattern bricks, the roof slopes straight down, the ridge is also straight, there is no curved eaves, and the tiles are all round tiles, cast with animal patterns.
Before Li Han could finish reading, a large group of people rushed out crying, led by a thin old man with a goatee, the old man did not wear a hat, his hair was tied in a bun on the top of his head, he was wearing a natural linen coat, with a straight collar, knee-length bottom, and narrow sleeves.
In an instant, the group of people surrounded the carriage with the coffin, but Li Wan's mother and son were directly ignored.
Immediately, many servants drove the carriage into the courtyard, and a mourning rope was hung at the door, and the family cried for a while, and the coffin was put down in a small courtyard in the backyard.
On the ground facing the main hall was a smooth bamboo mat, on which a low table was placed, and an old lady with a goatee and an old woman knelt on it, and there was also a bamboo mat on the left and right, and two men in their thirties sat on their knees, and the women stood behind.
Li Wan pulled Li Han in and knelt down: "Unfilial daughter-in-law Li Wan knocked on her in-laws and sisters-in-law, poor my husband Haolang has always been thinking about his family......"
"Shut up, you slut, you killed my husband and still dare to come to recognize your relatives, who recognizes you as the Ji family, you shamelessly call yourself a daughter-in-law!" Suddenly, a fat woman sprang out and slapped her to the ground.
Poor Li Wan fell to the ground and wept and wept, Li Han saw that the woman still didn't stop, raised her foot and wanted to kick, rushed up to block Li Wan and said loudly: "Vixen, if you dare to beat my mother again, the master will fight back!" ”
Where was the fat woman afraid, a slap was thrown on Li Han's face and scolded: "My husband is gone, who knows where you are from the little wild seed, don't be the young master in front of me!" ”
Li Han staggered, he covered his red, swollen and painful face, stared at the fat woman with flashing angry eyes, and said word by word: "My father's bones are not cold, you bully our mother and son like this, and others actually ignore it, may I ask, this is what my father often says about everyone's demeanor?" ”
Goatee finally spoke: "Liu's retreat." ”
The fat woman glared at Li Han hatefully, but still retreated.
Goatee said slowly: "Li, although you and Hao'er already have children, but you don't have the order of your parents, you are fornicating, if the Ji family takes you in, it will be an insult to the style of the century-old family." ”
When the old man said this, Li Wan had already heard that something was wrong, she was so frightened that she almost fell, and Li Han hurriedly supported her.
Sure enough, the goatee continued: "My Ji family can't accept an unknown daughter-in-law, but we won't be ruthless to cut you off, so let's leave Han'er behind, there are a thousand big money here, you can take it away and live by yourself." ”
Li Wan's soul was scattered, crying and begging, but the Ji family frowned coldly one by one, and foul language such as "mourning star" and "cheap woman" was endless.
Li Han originally felt that he should maintain the true character of an ignorant teenager, and didn't want to act too rebellious, but seeing Li Wan's crying face and choking, this family was unmoved, and immediately became angry, stood up and said loudly: "Okay, don't use fake compassion to cover up your ruthlessness!" In your family, it is not uncommon for the master to stay behind! It's okay for me and my mother to leave now, but I am the son of the third master of the Ji family after all, even if it comes to the government, you will break the law by driving us away like this! ”
As soon as Li Han's words came out, the whole room was stunned, he bent down and pulled Li Wan up, and said viciously: "Mother, let's go, I don't believe that the government will let them bully our orphans and widows." ”
Old man Ji's name is Ji Fan, and he is also a gentleman respected by everyone in Bacheng, this time he was heartbroken and lost his son in his old age, but he turned all his grief into resentment and vented it to poor Li Wan, feeling that if his son was not greedy for this woman, he would not have died alone in a foreign land for more than ten years, and it was impossible to leave this woman at home to look uncomfortable every day. But after all, the grandson is the only root and seedling of his son, and the only male among his three sons, which cannot be taken away by Li Wan, so he made the practice of keeping the small and driving the big, but he was surprised when he saw Li Han's behavior.
"Han'er, come to grandfather's side and let grandfather see it." Ji Fan shouted.
What kind of person is Li Han, he is not just a ten-year-old child, he lives in his head, but the complete thinking of a 28-year-old adult man, he has already seen through it, this family is all bitter and mean people, even if he uses the old man's affection to fight to keep Li Wan, he will not have a good life in the future, and he will definitely be manipulated by all kinds, rather than this, it is better to tear his face and make a fuss, and fight for some family property to settle down temporarily, as for the future life, he is confident that he can live well with his ability.
"That's it! Don't pretend to be loving, I'm not rare, sir! Li Han had already had a plan, and said confidently: "When my father was alive, he once said that he once bought a manor in the east of the city to grow medicinal herbs, and gave this manor to us. ”
Of course, the matter of the manor was told to Li Han by Li Wan along the way, and when he brought it up at this moment, not only the Ji family was stunned, but Li Wan was also dumbfounded.
Ji Fan had already seen that this grandson had an extraordinary bearing, and he was willing to let him go, but he also understood that among his three sons, the eldest Ji Xun and the second Ji were gloomy, if Li Han was left behind, he might be harmed.
"Han'er, you are a ten-year-old child, even if I give you the medicine garden, can you save your mother and son's life?" Ji Fan said.
(Note: The big money is the copper coin that circulated during the Jingdi period, and it weighs four baht.) )
