I don't know how long I fell asleep, but Han Xin woke up in a daze. I only felt that my mouth was dry and thirsty, and I felt pain everywhere in my body. When I was just asleep, I faintly heard a woman's sobbing, and now I think it should be Yu Miaoyi.

When I opened my eyes, I found that it was a bit harsh. The morning sun was high and the sky was already bright, and Han Xin struggled to sit up.

Yu Miaoyi, who was lying on top of him and choking softly, found that Han Xin was awake, and hurriedly helped him up in a panic. Now that she has only Han Xin by her side, she can rely on him, and she is at ease when she sees him awake.

Han Xin saw that she looked like a pear blossom with rain, her eyes were red, and she was looking at herself with a nervous face, and her heart couldn't help but warm. I wanted to make a joke to comfort her, but unexpectedly, a mouth touched the wound, and I coughed a few times with a sharp pain in my chest. Yu Miaoyi, who was supporting him, was in a panic, stunned and didn't know what to do, seeing the bloody wound on the finger of his left hand, his eyes were red, and he sobbed again.

Han Xin coughed a few times and finally relieved himself, and cheered up and joked at her: "Don't cry, I'm not dead yet, if you cry again, I will really be cried to death by you." ”

Yu Miaoyi burst into tears and laughed, and when she saw that Han Xin was still in the spirit to joke, she relaxed slightly. Seeing that Han Xin's lips were chapped, he hurriedly went to the stream next to him to fill some water with a water bag and put it on his lips.

Han Xin knew that people who had lost too much blood could not drink more water, so he held back his thirst and just drank a little water to moisten his lower lips, and refused to drink more.

I endured the pain and checked my body, and found that the fall was only an internal injury, not a rib injury, and the blood between the chest and abdomen had been vomited, so it was fine. Although the wound on his left hand was scary, it was only a flesh wound, and Han Xin made up his mind that he would be able to heal after resting for a while.

With the support of Yu Miaoyi, he cleaned the injured hand, and simply bandaged it with the fabric torn off her coat, and after treating the wound, Han Xin said: "This place is not suitable for a long time, let's leave as soon as possible." ”

The two supported each other, stumbling through the mountains, one weak and the other injured, so they walked very slowly. Thankfully, however, Han Shin's fearful pursuers did not show up. After thinking about it for a while, he guessed that it was very likely that Shanwu had successfully rushed out and attracted the attention of the government, so there were no pursuers here.

told Yu Miaoyi what she guessed, and she was also very relieved, and she was much more comfortable after sweeping away the haze, and began to talk and laugh with Han Xinyou again.

The two did not dare to stop in the inhabited places in the countryside, but chose some mountain trails to intersperse. Fortunately, Han Xin was familiar with the terrain near Yandang Mountain. Han Xin's injuries also slowly improved, and he could barely open a bow to hunt, and it was spring, so there was a lot of wild game and wild vegetables in the mountains, and all food was not a problem.

Han Xin has another good skill, and the beast meat roasted with wild vegetables is extremely tender, and Yu Miaoyi praised it after tasting it. I secretly wondered in my heart that since Han Xin had such hunting skills and skills, why would he be willing to be hungry and full in the market, and then I couldn't help but ask. Han Xin smiled slightly, and didn't answer to find an excuse to change the topic, and Yu Miaoyi also noticed that he didn't seem to want to say much, so he didn't ask again.

This reason, of course, cannot be said to anyone. In fact, he was afraid of the feeling of loneliness, after the old lady left, when he was alone, he would always think of the things in his previous life, and the bitter thoughts in his heart became deeper and deeper. Only by wandering in the market, listening to the noise of people coming and going all day long, and constantly thinking about how to fill his stomach, can he truly feel that he is living in this world.

After walking along the mountain range for seven days, he finally walked out of Yandang Mountain, and when he saw the crowd, Yu Miaoyi couldn't help but cheer. The first few days in the mountains she thought it was very fresh, as a kind of outing, but then the novelty passed, and she felt very uncomfortable. When she slept, she could only lie on the leaves by the campfire, she loved cleanliness by nature, but she could not bathe or change clothes for several days, and she only felt that there was an unbearable smell all over her body.

Out of Yandang Mountain, Han Xin estimated that he should have gone out of the boundary of Huaiyin County to Xuyi County, Linxian County, although the two counties are neighboring counties, they belong to different counties, Huaiyin belongs to Donghai County, and Xuyi belongs to Surabaya County. If you want to want a criminal across counties, you must have an official document from the Xianyang Imperial Governor's Mansion, and it will take a month or two to go back and forth.

Despite this, with the lesson of the last time, Han Xin still carefully checked the signs outside the various Guanyi villages, and sure enough, he did not find the wanted warrants of the three people, so he swaggered on the road.

As the vernal equinox approaches, the earth has begun to warm up, and the north wind blowing on the face is slowly no longer cold. The farmers began to go to the fields to sow seeds, and the shepherd boys brought out the ploughing oxen, which had been lying in the hay hut all winter. The fields were full of life, and from time to time you could hear the shouts or two of the farmers in the fields, and the crisp piccolo of the shepherd boy on the back of the cow.

The land of Jianghuai originally belonged to the place where Wu Yue conquered, and then fought for Qi and Chu, although the terrain was flat, fertile fields for thousands of miles, and there were big lakes, Hongze and other places rich in fish and rice. However, due to the perennial war, adult men are often conscripted into the army nearby, and often miss the time for farming, so the people are mostly poor. Every time there is a big war, even thousands of miles away. In the twenty-sixth year of the reign of King Qin, the world was unified, ending hundreds of years of war. Although the first emperor built a lot of buildings, built the Great Wall, and repaired a house, and the people of the world suffered a lot from forced labor, it was still much better than the endless wars of the Seven Kingdoms. After ten years of recuperation, the land of Jianghuai has become densely populated and fertile for thousands of miles, and there is a hidden image of prosperity.

The two walked along the road in the countryside for a short time, and they arrived at Xuyi City. The first thing Yu Miaoyi did when he entered the city was that he couldn't wait to find an inn to bathe, put on new clothes, and then the two found a wine shop to eat. In the past few days, they have eaten wild game without salt every day in the mountains, and the two of them have long faded into the taste of birds. After the tea and food were full, the two returned to the inn and opened two rooms, and had a good night's sleep.

When she woke up on the second day, it was the day of the market, so Xuyi seemed very lively, and Yu Miaoyi begged Han Xin to take her out to play.

Although Xuyi is only a small city, far less historic than Huaiyin City, it has gradually formed a market because of the communication here. After the unification of the Qin State, the river was re-dredged, and the freight traffic between the north and the south became more and more frequent, and Xuyi slowly prospered with the convenience of relying on the ditch. Hangou is the Spring and Autumn Period Wu Wangfu in order to go north to fight for hegemony, in two years to build Hancheng, open Hangou, south from the Yangtze River south of Hancheng, north through Fanliang Lake lakes, turn to the northeast, incident Yang Lake, connect with a shorter pipeline, the channel bends, and then to the northwest through Huaiyin into the Huai River. After the opening of Hangou, the merchants between the Jianghuai River continued to come and go. Although the status of the merchants in the Qin State was low, Han Feizi even wrote a letter to demote them to one of the five beetles, believing that they were not engaged in production and relied on hoarding goods to seek the interests of the peasants. However, 'the bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit', where there is a need for goods, where there are interests to be made, it is natural that businessmen come and go, and the frequent exchanges of businessmen naturally bring prosperity to a place.

It is the day of the market in the middle of the month, so the streets are crowded with people, and the street vendors are constantly shouting and selling their products to the people on the roadside, and the market is bustling with activity.

Yu Miaoyi's eyes widened, and she followed closely behind Han Xin, for fear of being separated in the crowd. She had been accustomed to staying in the high-walled compound since she was a child, and she had never seen so many people. Listening to the bustling noise in my ears, there was a faint curiosity and excitement in my nervous mood.

After walking for a while, she saw Han Xin clinging to her side to help her block the crowd, and her nervousness and fear gradually disappeared, and she began to pull Han Xin's sleeve and ask this, this, that, and new things that she had never seen before. After a while, he was attracted by the sound of gongs and drums playing monkeys on the side of the road, and pulled Han Xin into the crowd.

The little old man in the middle of the crowd held a small gong, and from time to time he looked at it twice, and the little monkey around him kept walking around him, staggering like a drunken person, and making faces at the crowd from time to time, attracting bursts of laughter. With the rhythm of the old man's gongs, he rolled up and down, and each time he turned his heels, he attracted a burst of applause from the crowd, and some children even screamed and clapped their palms desperately.

Yu Miaoyi naturally didn't dare to let loose like everyone else, but her little face was also red with excitement, and her hand pulling Han Xin's sleeve was desperately pulling. Han Xin stood beside him with a sad face, for fear that the eldest lady would be too excited and tear off her sleeves. Seeing Yu Miaoyi's excited face, she smiled slightly, and she was not in a hurry to urge her to leave.

Han Xin was in no mood to watch this trick, he was thinking about something else. Yu Miaoyi didn't bring any money with him, the money was all on Shanwu, not to mention Han Xin, a poor ghost. Fortunately, Yu Miaoyi also brought a close-fitting jade pendant, and went to the pawnshop to exchange for more than 300 yuan, and it cost more than 100 yuan just to eat and change clothes in the hotel, and it was nearly 800 miles away from Wucheng, and it was difficult to use the remaining less than 200 yuan, no matter how careful you calculated. Han Xin originally thought that Yu Miaoyi would have no worries about food and clothing after this 'big money', but he didn't expect that he would have to worry about this now. I began to wonder if I should rely on odd jobs for the wharf of the construction site in exchange for some entanglements like I had done in Huaiyin before.

After the last gong sounded, the little old man smiled and led the little monkey who had finished the fight around the crowd, begging for some copper plates. Yu Miaoyi threw a few copper coins, and then she dispersed with the crowd.

"I'm done." Han Xin looked at her with a smile, carefully withdrew his sleeves, and saw Yu Miaoyi nodding a little embarrassedly, so he smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat something delicious." ”

After speaking, he pulled Yu Miaoyi and walked towards a hawker on the side of the road. Probably because there were too many people and they were afraid of getting separated, Han Xin's hand tightly grabbed Yu Miaoyi. Yu Miaoyi felt a warmth in her palms, and her pretty face turned red and lowered her head. I was secretly glad in my heart, but fortunately, Han Xin concentrated on squeezing the person in front of him and didn't notice his expression.

"What is this?" Her eyes widened, and she looked curiously at the two strings of yellow things in Han Xin's hand.

"Taste it, it's sweet." Han Xin handed the straw bundle in his hand to Yu Miaoyi, Yu Miaoyi hesitated slightly, reached out and took it to his mouth and took a bite carefully.

"It's sweet, and there's a sour taste in it." Yu Miaoyi's little face raised slightly, and Han Xin smiled sweetly.

"It's delicious."

Grass bunches are a popular snack of the pre-Qin folk, using wild fruit sour dates picked from the mountains, dried and then dripping with licorice juice, some similar to the rock sugar gourds of later generations. Yu Miaoyi has lived in a high-walled compound since she was a child, and she has naturally never eaten this kind of vulgar food, so she thinks it is very fresh and delicious.

Han Xin snorted at the sky. "This is called delicious, next time I will take you to eat some sheep and warm offal, cut with a white knife, then it is called delicious."

Seeing Yu Miaoyi's little face nodding excitedly, she felt a little proud in her heart: It turns out that the young lady of the rich family is so foolish, she eats theirs and uses theirs along the way, so she bought a penny or two strings of straw bundles, and she is excited like this, this business is good, cost-effective~

looked at Yu Miaoyi with a smile, thinking to myself that I still have the potential to be a little white face, which is an important channel for future life.

At this moment, there was a shouting voice in front of him.

"Predicting the future of fifty years ago, being able to break the momentum of three hundred years, the iron mouth is godlike, the pen judges yin and yang, predicts the past and present lives, and comes to see the previous phase."

Yu Miaoyi and Han Xin couldn't help but be stunned, they were both frightened by each other's big breath, and walked towards the front together.
