Chapter 256 Han Yu Linfan
"Mother, I really want someone there." A couple of village women who returned from cold clothes finally found Han Yu who was lying on the side of the road and was covered in heavy snow.
The woman was in her thirties, wearing a plain dress and wearing a teenage girl, she looked at the figure lying in the snow, and her brows frowned slightly. She was born in this turbulent country and turbulent time, and she didn't want to save people. But after looking at the little girl, she finally felt compassion.
"I hope it's not a wanted criminal in Qin." The woman turned Han Yu over, then saw Han Yu's face clearly, and found that she was not someone wanted by the county government, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
He handed the wooden basin that had been pounded in cold clothes to the little girl, then helped Han Yu up and carried him back to the small mountain village.
The name of the small mountain village is also very ordinary. Shuiyuan Village is named because the village is at the source of a river.
In ancient times, traveling required road guides, so it was still very popular for a woman to save someone. At least the inner court would come over to take a look to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to the village.
"Class leader." The woman shouted as she came to her home.
"Looking at him carrying a wooden box, he should not be a beggar. Although his clothes were dressed as ordinary people, his fingers were long, his skin was fair, and there was also a bookish atmosphere between his eyebrows. He should be a scholar who was studying abroad." He said, looking at Han Yu who was lying on the bed, and did not open the wooden box wrapped in Han Yu's white cloth.
"When he wakes up, ask him if he wants to be a teacher in the village. Now we are from Qin, and Qin attaches importance to scholars from the six countries, so don't neglect it. During this period, the county government also sent people to establish a scholar's residence, and after it is completed, he will move to the scholar's residence." Li Zheng continued.
"But the man in our family is gone, so it is not suitable to stay here for a night." The woman said.
Li Zheng frowned. This is a problem. It is not good to spread the story about the plum trees in the melon field.
"I'll let my family come over tonight, too." Li Zheng said.
The woman could only nod, then cooked a little millet porridge and ate it with her daughter simply with wild vegetables, and then waited for Li Zheng's wife to come over.
"Big girl, I'm here!" When it was getting dark, the lady Li Zheng finally arrived.
After chatting for a while, the oil lamp was turned off and rested. As for Han Yu and the others, they didn't care. The most valuable thing in the troubled times was human life. Whether they could live depends on Han Yu's own luck.
The next morning, the woman and Mrs. Li Zheng both got up early to do laundry by the river, and started the busy day.
When the woman returned home, she found that Han Yu was awake and was in a daze in the yard, while her daughter was cooking on the side with a fire and cooking.
"Sir, are you awake?" the woman asked looking at Han Yu, spreading the washed clothes on the rod to dry them.
Han Yu looked at the woman and understood that she had saved her. He hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Thank you, Madam for saving her life, Yu will definitely repay you well in the future."
"My man is just a blacksmith and cannot be called a wife." The woman said quickly drying her hands on the hem of her skirt.
"Madam, do you know how long it will take to get from here to Nanping County?" Han Yu asked again.
"Sir, are you going to Nanping?" the woman asked frowned. Li Zheng asked her to leave Han Yu in the village to teach children to study.
"Yu has something important to go to Nanping County Government. He can only report his life-saving grace to him again." Han Yu said as he took out a golden bead from the wooden box and placed it on the wooden table.
The woman looked at Jinzhu, a little surprised, her eyes were full of greed. There was nothing more important than supporting a family in troubled times, especially because she had to take a daughter, and there was no man in the family.
"It's still ten miles from here to the county government, but the county government has not been peaceful recently. Mr., please stay for another day or two and wait until the county government calms down before going." The woman said. If she didn't have this golden bead, she wouldn't have left Han Yu, because one more person would have a mouth, and their family would not be able to afford it.
"What happened to Nanping County Government?" Han Yu's eyes narrowed. Did Qin know that he was coming to Nanping?
"I heard that a great man from Qin came to our Tangxi." The woman put the Jinzhu in her arms and hid it carefully, for fear that Han Yu would take it back.
"The big man of Qin?" Han Yu frowned. How could a big man of Qin suddenly come to Nanping, and who would it be?
"Do you know who you are?" Han Yu continued to ask.
"I heard that it is, it seems that he is the national teacher of Qin. How could we, a woman, know about such a big man?" the woman said casually.
"Wuchenzi?" Han Yu said, but he was full of hatred. He could not forget the figure outside Xinzheng City wearing armor and black cloak. If it weren't for that person, South Korea would not have perished so quickly.
"Yes, yes, yes, that's Wuchenzi." The woman remembered and heard about it when chatting with other women.
"I heard that it was this adult who led the Qin army to capture South Korea." The woman continued.
Han Yu looked at the woman and frowned. He thought that South Korea would be destroyed and that women as Koreans would have hatred towards the Qin people, but he did not see a trace of hatred in the woman, as if he was still grateful.
"Don't you hate the Qin people?" Han Yu asked as he looked at the woman.
"We are just a mountain village woman. We don't understand any great principles. Whoever treats us well will remember the kindness of our people. The Qin people and the Korean people are too far away for us. We only know that the tax paid to us by Qin is thirty taxes one year, and there is no military service and corvee within three years, which is enough." The lady said.
"How is it possible to have thirty taxes one!" Han Yu couldn't believe that if Qin occupied South Korea, how could it be like the Qin people? Moreover, Qin destroyed South Korea and dispatched a large army. Qin's own people all had 15 taxes one, how could it be possible to have thirty taxes one?
"The county government has posted a notice. As for whether it is 30 taxes or one year, it will be necessary to wait for the next year to know." The woman said.
"What happened before, was South Korea not good to you?" Han Yu asked.
"What's the best? The official documents are three of the ten taxes. Once there is a war, they will have to donate all kinds of goods. If the Jiufang Sword Master had not donated for us, we wouldn't know how to live, so we could only escape to the mountains." The woman said.
"That's not all. Corvée service is even more serious. The men in the entire Shuiyuan Village were dragged to war. My man was also dragged to the front line because he could cast swords. Then he never came back, and he didn't know whether it was life or death." The woman continued.
Han Yu was silent. South Korea's taxes were 10 taxes, but after layers of progress, it had become three of ten taxes.
"Have your man gone to the team of the Blood-Clothing Marquis?" Han Yu thought for a while and asked.
"Yes, yes, sir, do you know whether he is life or death?" the woman asked hurriedly.
Han Yu thought for a while before speaking: "Qin State has incorporated the army of the Blood-Free Marquis. If your husband is the Blood-Free Marquis's troops, he should still be alive."
"Thank God!" The woman went directly to the ground and prayed to the sky and the earth.
Han Yu was in a mess. He thought that Koreans would hate the Qin people. When he raised the anti-flag, thousands of people would follow him and follow him back to Xinzheng and restore the country. As a result, he found that he was wrong. South Korea had broken from its roots, and Qin implemented benevolent government in South Korea.
He was no longer sure how many people would follow him to resist Qin and restore the country again.
"Sir, too, also want to go to Nanping to join the Qin State Master, as a disciple?" The woman looked at Han Yu and asked. She knew that these scholars wanted to meet Wu Chenzi and become a disciple. Just like Chunshen Jun and Xinling Jun, in her imagination, Qin State Master would definitely have many disciples to join.
Han Yu nodded. He is now wanted by Qin and cannot be discovered, so he can only pick him up as the woman said.
"Then I've used the morning food on the road. There are also ox carts in the village to go to the county government to purchase them. You can take the teacher for a ride." The woman said.
Han Yu frowned as he looked at the woman. If Wu Chenzi was in Nanping, he would definitely not be able to go again, but he could not find an excuse to refuse, otherwise it would cause suspicion.
"My mother, the food is ready." The little girl's clear voice rang.
The woman turned her head and looked at the kitchen, then walked over and helped make two bowls of porridge with wooden bowls, but neither of them had any idea of Han Yu following them.
Han Yu looked at the woman's back, pinched her fists and put them down, and then squeezed them again, and couldn't make up his mind.
The woman turned around and looked at Han Yu, then reacted and smiled, "Mr. I guess she is very hungry when she fainted on the snow. The mountains are poor and there is nothing to entertain her. Please don't blame me."
Han Yu looked at the two bowls of porridge in the woman's hand, one bowl thick and the other was very thin, and there was almost no rice grains. After all, he let go of his fist and took the thick wooden bowl handed over by the woman.
The women had no idea that they had already walked in front of the gates of hell.
"The mountains and fields are poor, I hope you don't blame me." The woman said to Han Yu, who swallowed the porridge with a bitter face.
Han Yu didn't expect that the people would eat such food. They didn't even sheath them, and they were cooked directly in the pot. Not only was it extremely difficult to swallow, but it also tasted very bad. But looking at the woman and the little girl who were used to it, he understood that there was a reason for the demise of South Korea.
"Meow widow, go and take the pickled vegetables to the sir." The woman said to the little girl when she saw that Han Yu did not move her chopsticks again.
The little girl went from being so thin that she couldn't dig a few grains of rice into her mouth, then put down her chopsticks and ran into the kitchen and hugged a small dark clay pot.
When he opened the clay pot, a strong pickling smell came out. Han Yu frowned unconsciously. When he had eaten such food, he didn't know how to remove chopsticks for a while.
"It's Dongxue now, there are no fresh vegetables, sir, just let's go." The woman said crampedly. From how Han Yu could take out a golden bead at will, she also knew that Han Yu was definitely not an ordinary person. I'm afraid he had never eaten such food, but this was their best food.
Han Yu nodded. Even if he was still the fourth young master of Korea, it would not be easy to eat a bite of fresh fruits and vegetables in winter. He also needed the reward from the King of Korea to eat some, not to mention these ordinary wild families.
