Chapter 4 The Disaster of Innocence
Qin Laohan left with a grunt in the moonlight.
Qin Kan would definitely not be a teacher in this small village, and the negotiations eventually broke down.
Qin Kan sent him to the door, and it wasn't until Old Man Qin's figure disappeared in the moonlight that he gently covered the firewood, and then sighed.
Just now, Qin Kan only vaguely expressed the idea of leaving Qinzhuang and going out to work to make a living, but he was strongly opposed by Qin Laohan.
The reason for the opposition is ridiculous, but it is not ridiculous at all in this era, because it is undignified and insulting to the Sven of the reader.
Qin Kan is very depressed, working to make a living has a hairy relationship with Sven of the reader, doesn't the reader have to eat?
I have to say that Qin Kan's understanding of the word "class" in this era is still very insufficient, and he doesn't know how big the difference is between Lu Dao scholars and ordinary people.
Under the dim oil lamp, Qin Kan sat at the table, staring blankly at the twenty-eight coins on the table, and let out a wry smile after I don't know how long.
The second old house, Qin Kan has searched over and over again, the rice jar is empty, there is nothing to eat, he is worried, if he doesn't leave Qinzhuang, what will he eat next meal?
Qin Kan is a smart person, not only smart, but also not thin-skinned.
A smart and thin-skinned man who will never starve to death no matter where he is.
The next day, there was a news circulating in Qinzhuang.
The law and order is good, the house is not closed at night, and Qinzhuang, which can be called a model village of civilization in the Ming Dynasty, actually has thieves stealing things.
The next few days made Qinzhuang even more unpeaceful.
Qin Da's family lost two chickens, Qin Er's family lost a guard dog, and Qin San's family lost two ducks......
Similar cases are played out every day in Qinzhuang, and the peaceful village has become unpeaceful.
After more than ten days like this, Qin Laohan, the patriarch of Qin Zhuang, finally landed at the door of Qin Kan's house again.
Old Man Qin looked very calm this time, and his eyes looking at Qin Kan were much more complicated than before.
"Qin Kan, ......"
Qin Kan got up and bowed respectfully: "The foolish nephew is here." ”
"Pack up and go to the county, I'm ready."
Qin Kan was surprised, and couldn't help but look up at him curiously.
"Didn't Uncle Clan disagree with the foolish nephew leaving his hometown a few days ago?"
Qin Laohan sat in the hall, stretched out his hand to brush his beard and muttered: "Hmm......"
"What does 'um' mean?"
Qin Laohan sighed gloomily: "'Hmm' means that if I don't let you out again, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to find a crowing rooster in the village in the future......"
The cheeky Qin Kan couldn't help but feel a hot face at this time: "This ...... Ahem, the foolish nephew is ashamed. ”
Qin Laohan looked up at the beam on the top and was speechless for a long time.
A respected and sought-after former Xiucai Gong has become a little thief who steals chickens and dogs, Qin Laohan is still in the adaptation stage, and the contrast between before and after is too great, and the old man really can't accept it.
"The three acres of paddy fields left for you by your deceased father can't be wasted, since you want to go out, just sell it, but you are only allowed to sell it to my Qin Zhuang people, not to foreign surnames, otherwise the ancestors of the Qin family will not allow you."
"It's all up to the clan uncle."
Qin Laohan waved his hand and pointed into the distance, his tone was heroic and a little relieved: "...... Go to the county seat and harm others! ”
**********************************************************
Three acres of paddy fields, each mu sold for four taels of silver, Qin Kan simply packed up two sets of clean clothes, with twelve taels of silver in his arms, and on a silky morning in the spring rain, he set foot alone on the road to Shanyin County.
Qin Laohan led the whole village to the entrance of the village to see him off, and everyone's expressions were a little complicated.
Qin Kan turned to look at the elders of the village, his eyes slightly moist.
Although they didn't get along for a long time, Qin Kan still had a faint attachment to Qin Zhuang, and the enthusiasm and simplicity of the whole village moved him a lot. …,
After all, it is not easy to find another peaceful pure land that can acquiesce to him stealing chickens and dogs.
Qin Laohan stepped forward tremblingly, patted Qin Kan's shoulder, and said earnestly: "It's good to be at home for a hundred days, but it's hard to leave your hometown, since you have decided to go out, you must live a good life, and you can't let my Qin clan be ashamed." ”
Qin Kan nodded movingly: "Thank you for the care of your uncle and fathers, you will definitely live up to the high expectations of your father, he will return to his hometown in fine clothes, and come to kowtow to the ancestral ancestral hall again." ”
Qin Laohan smiled with relief, then straightened his face again, and sighed faintly: "...... I lost a chicken at home last night. ”
"Ahem, cough, cough......" Qin Kan had no choice but to bend over and cough.
The gloomy tone continued: "That's the last crowing rooster in the village......"
"Foolish nephew...... Ashamed. ”
"Can you say anything other than shame?"
"I'll pay you back later."
***********************************************************
Qin Laohan instructed the village Housheng to set up an ox cart and drove Qin Kan away from Qinzhuang in a leisurely manner.
At sunset, the quaint and towering city walls of Shaoxing Mansion are in sight.
Shaoxing Mansion, located in the south of the Yangtze River, outstanding people, sometimes there are literati praise and say: "Huiji Shanyin, the world is full of drama", Song people Wei Weng Shiyun: "Shanyin is all luxurious, Chang'an waterside Duoli people".
Shaoxing Fucheng is formed by the merger of the county seat of Huiji and Shanyin County, and the whole Shaoxing Fucheng is bounded by a Fuhe River that runs through the north and south, the west of the river is under the jurisdiction of Shanyin County, and the east of the river is within the jurisdiction of Huiji County.
Qinzhuang, where Qin Kan is located, is located in the west and is under the jurisdiction of Shanyin County.
Sending the villagers of Qinzhuang who drove the ox cart back, Qin Kan carried a small burden and stood alone under the city wall, looking up at the majestic ancient city in front of him, and his heart swelled with indescribable emotion.
A young man with the soul of a modern man has walked into an ancient and strange era, what will the future be? What kind of ambition should be realized, and what kind of value should be embodied in order to live up to the bizarre encounter of two lives?
Ambition, Ideal......
It's close, it's as if it's far away.
The current Qin Kan does not seem to be qualified to mention "ambitions" and "ideals", because before these things, he still has to solve a more practical and urgent problem, that is, survival.
A person who only has 12 taels of silver in his hand, the so-called "ideal" is too far away from him.
The west gate of the city, pedestrians come and go like a shuttle, a bullock cart full of raw silk, satin, tea and porcelain is mixed in the black pressure of the crowd, slowly in and out of the city gate, outside the moat, in front of the large and small simple food stalls, full of merchants and miscellaneous servants from all over the country, eating and drinking indiscriminately with bowls, still do not forget to take the time to raise their heads, and the strange guests at the same table to exchange goods or not, bubbling on both sides of the moat, a good prosperous scene.
Qin Kan carried his baggage, and in the crowd pushing, like a flat boat in the sea, he involuntarily entered the city.
First of all, you have to find a house to live in, fortunately Qin Kan did a little homework before going out, if you want to rent a house, you must find a tooth line or a tooth, that is, the modern commonly known "intermediary", whether to buy livestock, slaves or rent, as long as you can afford the intermediary fee, they will make the customer satisfied, of course, there must be a premise, the customer must first have legal procedures, the law stipulates that more than 100 miles away, and no merit in the body, must be issued by the local county government to issue a road guide, the tooth line dare to introduce you to the house, "road guide", that is, commonly known as the pass.
This is the rule of the Ming Dynasty, old-fashioned and strict, but Qin Kan had to obey, and before he had the strength to change the rules of the game, he had to obey it.
Fortunately, Qin Kan's procedures are very legal, although he has no fame, but he just moved from the countryside to the county seat, which is not enough to meet the conditions of "living a hundred miles away", and he doesn't need this thing.
Reaching into his arms, Qin Kan felt the warmth and solidity of the twelve taels of silver in his arms, and inexplicably felt a little confident in his heart. …,
The money is not much, five taels of silver is used to rent a house, and the remaining seven taels are used to buy things and eat, with the wisdom and means of their modern people, it must not be a problem to become a 10,000 taels household before the silver is spent.
Isn't it just about making money? Isn't it just starting from scratch?
In my previous life, when I just graduated from college, I was as poor as I am now, and later I didn't have a house and a car.
Talents, everywhere shine like gold and are eye-catching!
After cheering himself up, Qin Kan puffed up his chest with great ambition, and even a faint smile appeared on his face.
That's a smile full of confidence in life.
On the crowded street, Qin Kan had just taken the first step, and he felt that he had been hit hard, and he staggered a few steps, and before he could feel the unhappiness of the first step in his life, he heard a delicate voice behind him shouting: "Catch the thief!" ”
Qin Kan was stunned, and saw a panicked figure in front of him walking through the bustling crowd, running into the distance like the wind, and behind him a woman wearing a blue robe with a delicate face, obviously dressed as a man, with a look of righteous indignation, with a momentum of wind and thunder, struggling to chase and kill.
Qin Kan smiled, the profession of thieves and thieves has existed since ancient times, of course, catching thieves is also a very traditional folk activity.
Qin Kan's reaction seemed normal in the eyes of modern people...... He gave way to the side with great interest, and made a way for the woman who was wrapped in wind and thunder to chase the thief more smoothly and more enjoyable.
You can't blame Qin Kan's numbness, Qin Kan is just an ordinary person, he doesn't want to cause trouble, and he doesn't want to learn from Lei Feng, especially in this strange era where he is not familiar with life, there is another reason, when he was in Qinzhuang, Qin Kan did a lot of stealing chickens and touching dogs, strictly speaking, he and the thief are peers, even if they don't cooperate with each other, at least they can't fry each other.
The thief ran very fast, and the woman chasing the thief also ran very fast, and when she passed by Qin Kan's side, she still didn't forget to glare at him fiercely with her big apricot eyes, and then swept forward like a gust of wind.
Stealing and being stolen is just a trivial matter, there are too many such trivial things in life, each with its own joys and sorrows, but it has nothing to do with Qin Kan, an outsider.
It's a pity that Qin Kan avoided the woman's movements with slight flaws, so God forced him to intersect with this trivial matter.
I wanted to get out of the way, but Qin Kan's movements were a little muddy, his body got out of the way, but his feet didn't have time to get out of the way, so the woman chasing the thief was tragic......
The woman only felt that something was tripped under her feet, and then her body involuntarily rose into the air, and then a fierce lion pounced on the rabbit...... Of course, some people call this action "hungry dogs grabbing food".
No matter what words are used to describe it, the posture is not very good-looking, and the result is so miserable, the woman falls heavily to the ground...... Face to face.
The surrounding crowd let out an exclamation, but the woman lay motionless on the ground, and Qin Kan's heart suddenly swelled with endless guilt.
"Hey...... You're all right, are you? ”
Qin Kan took a step forward, looking uneasy, as careful as a zoo feeding a lion.
The woman was still lying on the ground and did not move, Qin Kan became more and more uneasy, just when he wanted to slip away quietly, the woman lying on the ground suddenly sighed leisurely towards the loess, and then slowly stood up, turned around and looked at Qin Kan.
It was only at this time that Qin Kan saw the appearance of the woman in front of him clearly.
The ancients said to the beauty: "The beads do not move and condense the two eyebrows, and the lead is all sold to see the innocence", the woman in front of her can really be called the word "beauty", apricot eyes, Qiong nose, eyebrows such as Daishan, lips such as cranberries, melon seeds face lining out of the pointed chin, poetic and picturesque, pleasing to the eye.
The most pleasing thing for Qin Kan is that the woman's height is about 1.7 meters, the two stand opposite each other, she is only a little shorter than Qin Kan.
Strange, how could an ancient woman have such a majestic height? It's just against the sky. The face of an angel, the tall figure, if in the previous life, he was absolutely born to eat the material of the bowl of rice of the model. …,
It's a pity that the beauty looks a little embarrassed now, her hair is messy and scattered in front of her forehead, there are two dirty stains on her fair face, and even her nostrils are slowly bleeding......
The fall just now was not light.
Of course, the expression of the beauty now has absolutely nothing to do with "pleasing to the eye".
patted the blue men's robe, and the woman stared at Qin Kan with a frosty face, and her apricot eyes seemed to spew fire.
"Hey, you, talk about you! …… Are you sick? ”
“…… I'm not sick. ”
"Why don't you stumble me when you're not sick?"
Qin Kan sighed: "People have misses, horses have stumbled......
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly shut up.
What is the ...... It seems to be scolding, and it scolds two people at the same time.
Sure enough, the anger in the woman's eyes became more and more intense.
Feeling the joking eyes of the onlookers, the woman bit her lower lip, her expression had become ashamed, and she suddenly reached out and grabbed Qin Kan's clothes, rudely dragged him to a quiet and uninhabited alley, and then pressed him against the wall hard.
"I see that you are really sick, don't you see that I am catching a thief?" The delicate face of the beautiful woman was close together, and the anger erupting in her eyes was clear.
Qin Kan smiled bitterly and sighed: "Even if I didn't help you catch the thief, you shouldn't scold me for being sick, right?" I just don't want to get in trouble. ”
The woman's angry expression suddenly became a little weird, and she stared at Qin Kan with wide eyes for a long time, as if suppressing a smile, and tried to stretch her pretty face and said, "You are really sick, and you still can't figure out who helped who caught the thief......"
Qin Kan suddenly had a hint of foreboding in his heart.
"What do you mean by that, girl?"
"See for yourself if your purse is still there."
Qin Kan hurriedly touched his arms, and then ...... Cold sweat rolled down, and he understood everything.
When people suddenly become poor, they will always realize a very strange law.
The woman's expression became more and more distorted, and she couldn't stop sneering at him, and the schadenfreude in her smile couldn't be hidden.
"Now you know what it means to harm others and end up harming yourself, right? Tell me about your current mood ...... this child."
Qin Kan wiped his cold sweat and said in a hoarse voice: "My mood is only two words now...... Catch the thief! ”
After speaking, Qin Kan lifted the hem of his robe and was about to chase him out, but he was grabbed by the tall beauty and grabbed the cuffs.
"Alright, the thieves are gone, don't forget that there is a bigger trouble waiting for you now......"
Qin Kan was stunned: "What's the trouble?" ”
The beauty pointed to her face and said, "Look at my face, what do you want to say?" ”
"There's really not much to say except what I like to hear."
"What else?"
Qin Kan let out a long sigh: "And there is...... You're hurt. ”
The beauty nodded: "What am I hurting for?" ”
“…… Tripped over me. ”
The injured beauty actually smiled at this moment, but there was no smile in her beautiful eyes, but a cold light flashed.
"Very good, it seems that although you are sick, but the illness is not too serious, not only do you not do what is right, but also hurt people, so follow me to the yamen to see the official."
