Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 114 The shock of this moment

Above the night sky, there are many stars.The moonlight sprinkled down, rendering the heaven and the earth.The four of them sat facing each other, and for a while, they were speechless for a long time.

After a long silence, the old man Lizheng sighed quietly and said, "Where is this guest from, and where is he going?"

……

Hearing this, Hu Hai sighed, and said: "Qin Wuzhu is from Xianyang, and he wants to go to Lintao, to see the old Qin people, to see the old Qin's hometown!"

"Old Qin's hometown is the pride of the old Qin people!" The old man sighed leisurely, under the starry sky, his tone was a little sad, and his figure was even more bleak.

"Here comes the wine—!"

At this time, an eleven or twelve-year-old girl was stepping on straw sandals, wearing a short shirt and pants full of patches, and the color could not be seen, and came out with a big jar.

The girl has great strength, and it didn't take any effort to hold the wine jar.She filled the big bowl with the rice wine in the jar, pushed it in front of the three of Hu Hai, and said with a low laugh: "The rice wine brewed by myself is usually not drinkable, so guests drink it."

Because of walking all the way, Hu Hai was really thirsty.Without humility, he directly picked up the big bowl and drank it all in one gulp.Gudong gudong swallowed the rice wine, and suddenly felt a strong earthy smell mixed with the smell of rot.

He knew in his heart that this taste was due to the fact that the raw materials for wine making were too mixed.Thinking of this, Hu Hai felt a little uncomfortable.

He did not expect that the homeland of the Great Qin Empire, one of the birthplaces of the old Qin people, would be so barren.

What is the difference between this state and the poor and white when he presented his father.You know, originally this time should be the most prosperous time of the Great Qin Empire.

Feeling a little complicated, Hu Hai touched his mouth with his sleeve and smiled, "Thank you." The old man glanced at Hu Hai and said with a smile: "Old Qin people are poor, and they don't often drink this rice wine. swig."

"The fire cage is ready!" The boy's scream came from outside the door, and the fire was rising faintly, sparks splashed in the wind.

The old man Lizheng got up: "Let's go, the old Qin people will welcome any guests, it's lively. Women, women, go."

A bonfire was lit in the threshing field in front of the door, and a wild sheep and seven or eight hares were hung and roasted on the fire.Because the village was quiet, the movement of Lizheng's house woke everyone up.

In just a short moment, all the young and old in the village gathered around.A group of people gathered around the bonfire, chatting excitedly.

The children excitedly moved the hoarded dead branches and threw them into the fire. The bonfire was blazing, golden oil stains fell into the fire, and thunderbolts kept ringing.

……

The fire was fierce, blowing up with the wind, illuminating half of the village.There have been no guests in this remote and poor mountain valley for many years. Once a guest comes, it will be a big day for the whole village.

Regardless of the season, the mountain people will light a bonfire to hold a welcome ceremony.

Old Qin people have always been famous for their hospitality!
……

A bright moon in the sky and a bonfire in the ground.Hu Hai, the second emperor of the Great Qin Empire, just looked at the old Qin people full of joy, with a smile on his lips and a trace of sadness in his heart.

This is his people, this is his empire!
The people are honest and kind, and the empire is iron-blooded and domineering.At this moment, the idea of ​​recasting the Great Qin Empire in Hu Hai's heart was stronger than ever.

He had this idea before because of his identity and his surname.Because once the Great Qin Empire was abandoned, Hu Hai had no other choice.

Even though he traveled so far, Hu Hai never thought about the terrible word death.

It is precisely this that led to a series of unwilling struggles.It just doesn't matter whether Zhao Gao was killed, Liu Ji was defeated, or Xiang Yu Hangu became the king.

From beginning to end, Hu Hai has only one purpose.It is not to recast Daqin, but to let oneself live.

All this is because although he has respect for the old Qin people.He even grew up in the old Qin's hometown, but the memories of the old Qin people only come from books.

……

It is the hospitality of the old Qin people, the simplicity and kindness of the old Qin people, and the fearlessness of the old Qin people on the battlefield.Let Hu Hai truly blend into it. At this moment, Hu Hai had an idea that he wanted to recast Daqin.

Not only for myself, but also for these old Qin people who regard the Great Qin Empire as their belief.

"Serve the rice wine—" the old man with a broken arm next to Hu Hai ordered hoarsely.In this era, people are always gathered together family by family.

The old man is the clan elder in the village and has the most authority in the clan. Even Li Zheng, appointed by the government, sometimes has to listen to the old man.

"Yes--!"

Following the clan elder's order, a young man came out immediately, holding a wine jar and filling the wine bowls in front of everyone's eyes.

Thanks to the young man's ingenuity, the wine bowl was filled up in an instant, and there was no flow out of the long table, and there was no waste at all.

At this moment, even Hu Hai was amazed.Obviously, the young man has real kung fu in his hands.

……

At this moment, the rickety old man was raising his wine bowl to the three of Hu Hai, then turned to the villagers, hissed, and said, "The honored guest is coming, rice wine, why—"

Then he stopped talking and drank it down.After taking three consecutive sips, he drank the rice wine in the big bowl and put down the wine bowl.

……

Hu Hai is naturally aware of the unpleasant taste of rice wine, but he also has an almost instinctive rejection of drinking.It's just the hospitality of the old Qin people that made him unwilling to break this moment.

Adhering to the idea that the guests do what the host does, seeing Lizheng drinking, Hu Hai also raised his bowl and said: "Thank you, old man Lizheng, thank you, father and brother." He drank it all in one go.

Seeing this, the clan elder smiled: "Yuan Ke, our clan is barren and has nothing to entertain guests, only this bad rice wine!"

Hu Hai smiled bitterly, and said: "Qin Wuzhu came all the way, it is a kindness for the elders to take him in."

……

The villagers laughed together, and the clan elder looked at Hu Hai seriously and said, "The old man heard the truth, the distant guest is from Xianyang, the imperial capital?"

Hu Hai was silent for a moment, cupped his hands and smiled, and said, "I don't want to lie to the elders, but I am from the capital of Xianyang. I came here because I want to see the old Qin's homeland and the old Qin people in the homeland!"

Lao Li said with a smile: "The present is different from the past. The old Qin's homeland is barren, and the old Qin people are young and strong, who died for the country and fought for the first emperor. Most of them never return."

"As a result, most of the old Qin's homeland is uncultivated. In the villages, most of the disabled soldiers return home!"

Hu Hai heard sorely, cupped his hands, and said: "Jiu Jiu Lao Qin, let's go to the national calamity together!"

At this moment, Hu Hai didn't know how to answer other than the old Qin's oath.He knew in his heart that the old Qin people were not afraid of life and death for the Great Qin Empire.

The reason why the Great Qin Empire went from being a small country in the west to annexing the whole world was the blood of the old Qin people.It can be said that the blood of old Qin people is dripping everywhere in the Central Plains.

"Jiu Jiu Lao Qin, let's go to the national calamity together!" At this moment, men, women and children on the threshing ground all shouted silently.

……

The purge at this moment made Hu Hai's heart tremble slightly.Perhaps only with this kind of spirit, the old Qin people can survive in the cracks, and then become famous in the world!
