Early in the morning, the villagers who were about to go out heard Liu Xuan's angry roar. They laughed and looked at the courtyard in the middle. The courtyard looked a little dilapidated, but it occupied a huge area. It could be seen that it used to be
Brilliant. Suddenly, the courtyard door was opened, and a young man escaped from the courtyard holding his head. His father, holding a wooden stick, was chasing him. The young man was agile and quickly avoided his father's attack.
Attacked, not a single blow was received.
Liu Xuan held a wooden stick and chased for a long time, but failed to catch up with his son. He stopped and gasped hard.
When the villagers around him saw this scene, they couldn't help laughing. Even the young man who was being chased couldn't help but grinned and greeted the villagers around him. Liu Xuan
He said angrily: "Don't we have anything to do?!" The villagers just smiled and said nothing. The young man smiled and said: "Father, look, we don't want to waste the time of the villagers. You
Just give me some money and I can set off."
"Give you money??" Liu Xuan almost exploded with anger. He said, "Come in with me and we'll talk at home!"
"No, the yard is too small, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape," the young man said, and suddenly said: "But if you can give me some money, I can give you a good beating to vent your anger."
"You!!" The furious Liu Xuan trembled all over, but said nothing. He turned and walked into the courtyard. The villagers around him shook their heads and left slowly. This Liu Xuan, his ancestors were from Wei.
Later he came to Chu State and made a living by farming here. The young man was called Liu Ji and was his third son. Liu Xuan was a kind-hearted man and had a very good relationship with the villagers, but he
This third son is nothing like him.
Liu Ji is very naughty. He has been running around with his children since he was a child. The children in the neighborhood are willing to listen to him, so he takes these children to do things that cause headaches to the villagers. He is also a man who does nothing. Liu Ji is very naughty.
Xuan couldn't control him no matter what. Liu Xuan thought that when the children grew up, there would be some changes, but after Liu Ji grew up, he remained the same as before. He didn't like to engage in farming and mulberry farming, and he never helped the family with any work.
Wandering outside all day.
Drinking with his friends, teasing women, playing games, in short, just not doing anything. Not only did he not help his father, he even always asked for money from his father, and he would soon spend the money. Liu Xuandu
I don’t know why he spent money so quickly. Even though Liu Ji was like this, the villagers didn’t really hate him, because although Liu Ji was a naughty man, he often helped those who asked him for help.
He is never stingy when it comes to his friends, he will not bully the weak, he keeps his promises, and he has a true knight-errant demeanor. His friends are all over the place, and they are engaged in all industries. Basically, wherever he goes, he can quickly
Make friends there.
Seeing his father return to the house angrily, Liu Ji dusted himself off and walked into the courtyard with a smile.
His elder brother Liu Xi was eating. The two mothers didn't look at him. They just tried to persuade their father not to be angry. Liu Ji sat down with a smile and prepared to eat together. Liu Xuan gritted his teeth and cursed: "You scoundrel, you haven't done anything yet."
The way to make money is to survive. Without your second brother to manage your family and business, what else can you do in the future? Why can't you learn from your second brother?"
Liu Xi is Liu Ji's second brother. His eldest brother died young, and the second brother is the backbone of the family. Liu Ji ate the meal without raising his head and said in a unclear voice: "The second brother will only be able to farm in this life."
How can an upright man spend his life in the farmland?" Liu Xuan's face was full of disappointment. He once had high hopes for his son, but now, he only wants his son.
Can take the right path.
"Ji, what do you think a man who stands upright should look like?"
"It's time to make friends with the heroes of the world like Lord Xinling and Marquis Wu Cheng." When Liu Ji talked about Lord Xinling and Zhao Kuo, his eyes lit up. He became a little excited and talked about what was in his heart.
those ambitions.
"Alas", the old father shook his head helplessly.
"Ji, I know that you admire Lord Xinling and Marquis Wu Cheng very much, but do you know? What are their origins? Lord Xinling is from the Wei clan, and Wuchenghou is from the Zhao clan, but what about us? You have
What kind of money can you use to make friends with heroes? What status do you have that allows others to join you?"
"I know you despise your second brother, and you despise me too. But, a family like ours can only survive on farmland. Now I can still support you, but one day I will die.
Your second brother will definitely not watch you starve to death, but what if he is no longer here?"
"Be pragmatic. You don't have these things in your life. You are just a farmer's son. What you want is not to make friends with heroes, but to fill your stomach. This year's harvest is not good, and the king will raise taxes."
"Our ancestor is also the father of a doctor in the state of Wei. What he can do, why can't I do it?"
"Ancestor?? That's all in the past. Look at this family. Even storing food may not allow us to last until the autumn harvest. No matter what you want to do, you have to fill your stomach first."
Liu Xuan talked a lot, then looked expectantly at his son who was silent in front of him, and asked: "Will you go to the fields with your second brother to farm today? Okay?"
Liu Ji put down his job, raised his head, and looked at his father seriously. Suddenly, he laughed and said, "Can you give me some money?"
Liu Xuan's face turned pale with anger, and Liu Ji's elder brother also rolled up his sleeves and almost wanted to fight him. The youngest son cried in fear. The two mothers persuaded Liu Ji at the same time, and Liu Ji fled here in a hurry. Liu Jizui
He was lying under the shade of a tree with a piece of grass in his mouth. His friends were sitting beside him. Liu Ji told them about the righteous deeds of Lord Xinling and Marquis Wu Cheng. Everyone was amazed.
"Brother, since they are so benevolent, why don't you join them?"
"Yes, it would be great to be their friend and guest!"
Several friends spoke at the same time. Liu Ji spat out the grass and looked at them. He said thoughtfully: "Yes, I can join them. However, I heard that Wei State was captured. Lord Xinling
I don’t know if it’s okay”
"It was Marquis Wu Cheng who destroyed Wei. He would definitely not kill Lord Xinling. You said they are the best friends."
"Yes, you are right!"
Liu Ji immediately had an idea. He could go to serve Lord Xinling of Wei State. The place happened to be not too far away. It was more cost-effective to go to Wei State than to go to Xianyang to join Marquis Wucheng. He should follow Xinling.
Lord Ling has done a great job! When Liu Ji thought of this, he was extremely excited. He hurriedly said goodbye to his friends and fled back home. However, after returning home, Liu Ji began to be in trouble again.
How to convince his family to support him? Thinking of his family's usual attitude towards him, young Liu Ji felt that this was not feasible. His father would never allow him to leave, so he could only do it secretly.
After leaving, Liu Ji began to make many preparations for going to Wei State in his mind. He needed to bring food, a sword, and some money, but he had no money.
You can borrow some from friends and get some from home.
Several days passed like this, and Liu Ji did not reveal any news to his family.
That night, Liu Ji stood up slowly and rummaged around the courtyard quietly, trying to find some money. Liu Ji knew where his father had hidden all the money, and got what he wanted in the warehouse.
After taking the things, Liu Ji bowed in the direction of his father again, and was about to walk out of the courtyard. When he turned around, Liu Ji saw his father standing in front of him. Under the night, he could recognize his father at a glance.
The figure comes.
Liu Ji was very frightened. He took a few steps back and said with a smile, "Are you still awake?"
"Where are you going?"
"I want to go out for a walk"
His father looked at him and said nothing.
Liu Ji said helplessly: "I want to go to Lord Xinling, and I want to be his guest."
"You have never left the county. Do you know where Wei is? Besides, you will be arrested for such behavior."
Liu Ji just lowered his head and said nothing.
The old father sighed and took out a package from his sleeve. He handed it to Liu Ji and said, "Even your friends don't think highly of you. They think you are going to die if you leave here. They asked me to
I’m here to persuade you, but I know my son’s character. Take it, go. Be careful and use these things sparingly on the way. If you are afraid, come back.”
Liu Xuan's eyes were a little red as he spoke, but he did not cry in front of his son. Liu Ji held the package. He was a little surprised. He looked at his father in front of him, as if he had recognized him again. Liu Ji bowed to his father and said:
"Please rest assured, I know what I should do. One day, you will become noble because of me, and you will be proud of my achievements!"
Liu Ji said goodbye to his father and walked to his destination.
This is the first time for the young man to leave his hometown. He doesn’t know much about the outside world. He can only tell some stories about Lord Xinling and Marquis Wu Cheng. After leaving his hometown, even communication is a problem.
He will face countless difficulties, which is why Liu Ji's friends are unwilling to follow him out. Of course they also admire those rangers, but they are even more afraid of the difficulties that will appear ahead.
They felt that Liu Ji was simply doing something impossible.
Even Liu Xuan didn't think that his son would be able to go to the Kingdom of Wei and become a guest of Lord Xinling. He had been waiting for his son to return, tell him about the hardships on the road, and then follow his brother to farm, but Liu Xuan waited
For a long time, there was no news of his son's return. The villagers thought that Liu Ji was dead. Only a few of his close friends believed that he would do great things.
And the young man who left his hometown alone, wearing simple clothes and carrying a sword without a scabbard, began to pursue his dreams. He indeed encountered many difficulties. The road was empty. He lit a bonfire,
Sleeping on the bare ground, he had to watch out for wild beasts, be wary of thieves, and be wary of patrolling officials and soldiers. He couldn't even talk to the people in the villages on the road because the two sides couldn't understand each other's languages.
After just walking a short distance, the language has already changed so much.
The young man also encountered several dangers. He encountered a ferocious beast at night. He hid in a tree until a group of merchants passed by and rescued him. He also met a group of thieves who heard that he was going to Wei State.
Looking for Lord Xinling, they couldn't help but laugh. They mocked: "The Kingdom of Wei has been destroyed. Lord Xinling has been dead long ago. You still want to go to Wei to join him? If you want to see him, we can help you."
, go down with one sword, and you can see him!"
"No, Lord Xinling is still alive." Liu Ji held a long sword and looked at those people angrily.
The leader of the thieves looked at the young man in front of him, and his expression became serious. He stopped the ridicule of his men, pointed into the distance, and said: "If you go there, you can reach the Kingdom of Wei."
"However, today's Wei State does not welcome knights and knights, so they can only escape and become thieves. I wish you a safe journey."
Liu Ji thanked the thieves and left here again, heading towards the direction of Wei. The thieves looked at the back of the stubborn young man in surprise. They seemed to see an impressive faith and courage, that was Lord Xinling.
Liu Ji was learning the local language along the way. Fortunately, his ability to learn knowledge was very good. He stayed in the towns along the way. Although many of the faces he saw were wary faces, he didn't care.
He is still making friends. He can find friends in various places. On the road, Liu Ji's growth rate is very amazing. His swordsmanship and eloquence are constantly improving.
With just a few moves, he can gain the trust of others and get a treat.
In this way, after going through countless difficulties and seeing many things, Liu Ji finally approached the border of Wei State. He was already exhausted, his clothes were falling apart all over his body, and his clothes were in tatters, but the sword in his hand was still very sharp.
Here, he did not continue to move forward. Along the way, Liu Ji already knew a lot of things, including the fall of Wei and the current system of Qin.
He was very sure that if he walked into the Wei State now, he would be arrested by the Qin officials immediately, and then they would allocate him a farmland, and then he would have to start farming endlessly. How could he do that?
After seeing Lord Xinling, why didn't he get arrested by the Qin people? Liu Ji thought for a long time but couldn't think of a solution. Therefore, he chose to take the risk and hid all the way to Yongqiu, where Lord Xinling's body was buried.
land.
This is not an easy task. There are officials patrolling along the road, making it almost impossible to get in and out of the city.
Liu Ji could only rely on gathering and hunting to fill his stomach, and he could not even let anyone see him. During this period, he did get help from several Wei people. As long as Lord Xinling was mentioned, these people were willing to help.
He and no one would say that Lord Xinling was no longer here. They all felt that Lord Xinling was still alive.
When Liu Ji arrived at the cemetery outside Yongqiu, he was almost out of shape.
Finally, he met his idol.
Liu Ji leaned over and bowed to the idol, shouting loudly: "Fengyi Liu Ji! Meet Lord Xinling!"
