Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 390 Innovation

Han Xin's self-control is indeed extraordinary. If he changed someone, he would definitely scold his mother, but he returned to his dilapidated hut like a normal person.

At this time, Han Xin's family was bare, and even his hut was left to him by his mother.Since his mother passed away, Han Xin only knew how to practice martial arts, but not how to make a living. His life went from bad to worse. The house became more and more dilapidated. Up to now, even the walls are incomplete. There are many big holes and small holes in the walls. The hole is only a shelter from the wind and rain.

With a sigh, Han Xin sat down and looked around, trying to find something to eat in the house. Unfortunately, not to mention food, even mice would not stay in his house, because there was no food, so naturally he couldn't find it. .

There is a very old fishing rod in the corner. It was made by Han Xin when he was a child.The fishing lines and hooks above were all available, Han Xin's eyes lit up, and he went out with the fishing rod.

Han Xin made up his mind to go fishing to satisfy his hunger, and went to the river not far away, digging in the wet mud, and got a few fat earthworms hanging on the hook.Walking to a boulder and sitting down, he threw the hook into the water with confidence, his eyes fixed on the water surface for a moment, thinking in his heart that he wished to catch a big fish weighing one hundred catties immediately, and it was a big fish. have a meal.

When it comes to using soldiers, Han Xinzhi has been praised throughout the ages, but when it comes to fishing, he is really not flattering. Maybe it is because he is too hungry and has no patience at all, so the hook is thrown into the water. Some movement, in Han Xin's view, it was a big fish taking the bait, so he brought it up without thinking, but it's a pity that the fish made up his mind to make it difficult for Han Xin: never take the bait!
Hunger made Han Xin's patience run out. If so, three or five times, not to mention catching fish, he didn't even see a fish.Han Xinchang sighed and said: "Heaven is embarrassing the man!" He put the fishing rod on the rock, lay on his back on the rock, and no longer prepared to fish.

"I don't think you are a fisherman." An old voice sounded.

Han Xin took a closer look and saw an old lady standing on the ground with a basket of clothes on her back, looking at him.Based on Han Xin's thinking, the old lady must have a good opinion when she said this, so she hurriedly asked for advice: "Excuse me, mother-in-law, do you know how to fish?"

The old lady shook her head and said, "I don't know how to fish either. However, you pick up the fishing rod for a while, pick it up for a while, how can you catch fish if you are so impatient. Even if a fish takes the bait, you will scare it away. .”

"Thank you, mother-in-law, for your teaching!" Han Xin hurriedly saluted and thanked him.

The old lady shook her hand and said, "Don't thank me, there is nothing to thank. Let me tell you, you must be patient when fishing. Think about it, if the hook is placed in the water, whether the fish can see it is not certain. After all, the water is so big and so deep, so there is a lot of room for fish to swim. Even if the fish sees it, they don’t have to come to bite. Fish eat a lot in the water, so they don’t have to eat. Bait. If you think about it again, even if the fish bites the hook, if your timing is wrong and you get up the rod too early, the fish will not swallow the hook and you will not be able to catch it. If you get up late, the fish will run away early after eating the bait."

"Grandpa is misleading people by fishing with a straight hook!" Han Xin never dreamed that there are so many reasons for fishing. If the heavens are good and Han Xin catches fish, Han Xin will respect you, old man."

The old lady put the basket on the ground, took out a food box from the basket, and handed it to Han Dao: "Are you hungry? This is my lunch. You can eat first."

Han Xin is now so hungry that his heart sticks to his back. What he wants to hear most is the word rice. What he wants to do most is to have a big meal right away. Unexpectedly, in the midst of all desperation, someone will give him food. It is so wonderful. up.If someone else took it, he would definitely eat it, but Han Xin didn't do that, and declined, "Old man, this is your lunch, and I, Han Xin, can't eat it."

"Here, you can eat." The old lady comforted Han Xin: "A big man, why is he like a mother-in-law like us women. Come, take it." Push it into Han Xin's hand.

Han Xin put the food box back into the old lady's hand and said, "Old man, if I eat it, what would you eat? Even if I, Han Xin, are unworthy, I would never do such a thing. Han Xin will remember the old man's kindness."

The old lady said: "I'm getting old, and I don't eat much. It doesn't matter if I don't eat a meal. Unlike you young people, who are young and vigorous, eat a lot, and get hungry if you don't eat a meal. Han Xin, come, take it." .”

Han Xin looked at the food box that the old lady stuffed him again, with tears shining in his eyes, and said: "Old man, this can't be done, can't be done."

The old lady took Han Xin's hand and said, "Come, sit down and eat."

Han Xin sat down as she said, and the old lady said, "You eat here, and I'll do the laundry." About to carry the basket, Han Xin quickly put down the food box, helped her carry the basket to the river, and said, "Old man, How is it here?"

The old lady nodded and said, "Yes, it's fine here."

Han Xin helped the old lady pull out the clothes, then went to pick up the food box, opened the lid and took a look, there was some brown rice and some side dishes, which were very shabby.The old lady earns some money by washing clothes for rich people. It is good to have something to eat. How can I expect delicious food.

Driven by hunger, he must eat as soon as he has something to eat, but Han Xin did not do this, but divided the meal into two equal portions, put one portion in the lid, and then ate the portion in the box.Brown rice is unpalatable, but for Han Xin at this time, it is a delicacy from mountains and seas, and he finished it in three or two bites. His appetite is very large, and this rice can only be the bottom, to be precise, not even the bottom, so he stared at the lid I really wish I could eat all the food here.

However, Han Xin is Han Xin, and he did not do such a thing. Instead, he washed the food box in water, poured the food in the lid back into the box, closed the lid again, and came to the old lady with the food box. Said: "Old man, thank you for the meal. I left half of it for you, and you will eat it later."

The old lady admired Han Xin very much, and said: "Han Xin, it's okay if you eat all of it, and it's okay if I don't eat a meal. You can leave half of it for me, which shows that you have a conscience, and young people can throw away everything." , that is, the conscience cannot be lost.”

"Thank you for the old man's teaching, Han Xin will remember it." Han Xin was taught, and said: "Please rest assured, mother-in-law, if Han Xin has a prosperous day, Han Xin will never forget the old man's love today, and he will definitely repay you generously."

The old lady shook her head and said, "Han Xin, I don't want you to repay me by giving you food. I sympathize with you. You are a big man, young and strong. You can't be a king and grandson. You don't even have to eat. It's strange." pitiful."

Han Xin helped the old lady do the laundry, and said, "Old man, thank you for your kindness. Han Xin must work hard, use it in the world, and make a lot of achievements."

"Well, that makes sense!" The old lady approved very much.

After helping the old lady to wash the clothes, Han Xin bid farewell to the old lady. At the time of parting, the old lady said: "Han Xin, if you have no food, come here. I wash clothes here every day, and I will prepare a box of lunch for you .”
