On the afternoon of the same day, Fusu, with the help of Wuxin and others, returned to the inn in a staggering manner! He first asked the staff in the hall to arrange Fan Tianshi's residence, and then returned to the inner room, without caring about it, and fell asleep.
I slept until the sun sets and the sky was dizzy. Fusu woke up in a daze. As soon as he moaned twice, a few footsteps came quickly, and then a few gentle care sounds: "Your Majesty is awake!? You are so worried about our sisters!" Fusu stuttered a few words, and didn't know what he said, then he felt a wet hot towel on his forehead, and then his head was raised and placed on his soft thighs. A bowl of fragrant sobering ginseng tea was also placed next to his mouth!
Fusu took a few sips in a daze. The fresh sausage of the ginseng pawn immediately took away a lot of alcohol. Fusu opened his confused eyes hard, shook his head, and dangled the figure in his eyes. Then he saw the four Huo Fengs with concern on his face. Fusu smiled and said, "I'm fine, don't worry! Good Dragon Dong, although this 'monkey drunk' wine is good today, it has a great momentum. Even my alcohol content is so drunk! Wuxin and the new Mr. Fan are awake?"
Huo Feng said angrily: "Senior brother and the others are really inappropriate. You have let the Lord drink so much! Now, they are still sleeping in the bed, and none of them get up!" Fusu laughed and helped his head with a headache, and said proudly: "It seems that I have the best alcohol tolerance and the fastest sober!"
Lan Shuang smiled and said, "Don't be proud of yourself. Drink the ginseng soup soon. Wash your face. It's time to have dinner!" Fusu obediently finished drinking the ginseng soup and said, "Go and see if the senior brother and the others are awake. They can really sleep if they haven't woken up." Qingluan jumped up and said, "I'll go and see how I deal with them!" As he said that, a gust of fragrant wind blew and disappeared in front of him!
Fusu smiled and said, "I don't know how this little girl is going to torture people!" Several girls laughed.
Fusu washed his face, changed into clean clothes, and came to the restaurant for a while before he saw Wuxin and the other five follow Qingluan in with intoxicated eyes, with an expression of displeasure and anger! It must be that Qingluan, a lively little devil, tortured these five people a lot!
Fusu signaled everyone to sit down first, each with sobering ginseng soup on the table. The five of them drank it all in one go, and their spirits were much better!
Seeing this, Fusu smiled, and suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, I remember that Momen also has a 'Mozu' in Kuaiji County, what's the name?" Fusu patted his head for a while, then he remembered: "Yes, it's in Ziyang Lane, Yingfeng Inn in the south of the city! Wuxin, go tomorrow morning and tell them: From today on, mobilize all the forces of the Momen Sect in Kuaiji to closely monitor the movements of the Chu Xiang clan in Kuaiji County. If you find out the whereabouts of Xiang Liang and nephew, immediately report to Mona Headquarters, and mobilize all the Momen Sect children in Kuaiji to kill these two people with all their strength!" Wuxin nodded and said, "I understand!"
Fusu felt that having Momen here to monitor secretly should be more confident, so he completely let go of his heart.
Seeing that Fan Tianshi had not arrived yet, Fusu wondered, "Why, Qingluan, Mr. Fan hasn't woken up yet?" Qingluan smiled and said, "No, I'm still yelling there! I can't wake up no matter how much I call him! He is a new guest, I can't use it. If it were my senior brothers, I would have poured a basin of cold water!"
Fusu smiled and shook his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it! Mr. Fan is lazy, so let him sleep for a while. Remember, I instructed the inn to prepare ginseng soup and wine and drinks for Mr. Fan, and send it to him when the teacher wakes up!" Huo Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, young master!"
Fusu nodded and signaled everyone to sit down and have a meal together. Then he picked up the long chopsticks to deal with the chicken, duck, fish and meat in front of him. Everyone then surrounded him and started moving. The delicate Suxue took a few bites and asked Fusu casually: "Your Majesty, since the matter in Kuaiji has gone, are we going straight to Linzi?"
Fusu shook his head and said, "No, no! After crossing the river, we followed the Huai River north and headed straight for Huaiyin!" Everyone was stunned: Huaiyin? It seemed like an ancient city beside the Huai River, but what are you doing there?
Wuxin wondered, "Huai Shang has been pacified for a long time. Why did you still go to Huaiyin and not go straight to Linzi?" Fusu smiled and said, "I know you haven't returned to Linzi for many years and miss your hometown. However, I still have some important civil affairs in Huai Shang, Huaiyin and Pei County. I dare not delay it. You can bear it for a few more days!" Everyone then understood, but they still didn't know what was going on, and they were still a little confused.
After dinner, Fusu went to bed early because he was about to leave Kuaiji tomorrow.
The next morning, while the girls were packing their luggage, the prefect of Kuaiji came to report and saw him off. Fusu carefully told him a few words, so that he could still pay close attention to the movements of Xiang Liang and the Xiang clan of Chu. After he was unintentionally informed the Momen, everyone began to come north to Huaiyin!
Along the way, the fierce army of more than 100 people of the "Wolf Fang" Pojun was murderous and cold. Although they were all casual clothes, no people dared to approach within dozens of steps. Although Fan Tianshi suddenly saw the "Wolf Fang" dead man, he was not afraid at all. He had enough rest and had cultivated his spirits. He explained the customs and culture around Fusu in full spirit. His behavior of showing off his knowledge also made everyone more knowledgeable. In addition, he was humorous and interesting, which also added a lot of fun to everyone's boring journey!
*******
Everyone crossed the Yangtze River first, then headed north along the Huai River. After about half a month, they finally arrived in Huaiyin City in early July when summer arrived!
As soon as I entered Huaiyin City, Fusu's face changed color. Although I could not return to my hometown in my previous life, Huaiyin City was still the place I missed in Fusu's dream for a long time. My childhood memories immediately appeared in Fusu's mind bit by bit, and rippled like waves in the sea!
Everyone immediately noticed something wrong with Fusu. The careful Huo Feng whispered: "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Fusu shook his head emotionally and said: "No, I just like the customs and customs here! By the way, Qin Hu!"
"exist!"
"You take your token to arrange your residence in the inn. Remember, don't expose my identity!" "Here!" Qin Hu led a large group of troops to leave first. With Qin Hu's identity as a captain, the Huaiyin County Magistrate did not obediently arrange the residence!
Fusu looked at the other ten people and said, "Where are you, let's take a walk with me!" Everyone first arrived in Huaiyin and was quite interested in this ancient city with a long history and nodded.
Fusu walked slowly without saying a word. The clear river water, green willow branches, and familiar local accent all looked like Fusu's heart a warm feeling: this is the feeling of a wanderer returning to his mother's arms, safe and warm!
Suddenly, Fusu saw a group of children who looked like eight or nine years old jumping out of an alley, and they were about to bump into the horses of the crowd. Fusu was shocked and quickly tied the reins. Bai Jun neighed lightly and stopped. But the tall war horse's majestic appearance still scared several children who were in trouble and started crying. Especially the little boy closest to Fusu's war horse was so scared that he sat on the ground, his mouth flattened, and he cried so hard that he cried so hard that he snot and snot squirted!
Fusu quickly jumped off the horse, helped the little boy up anxiously, squatted in front of him and said anxiously, "How is it, did the big brother hit you?" The little boy saw Fusu and his group all dressed and angry, and were afraid of punishment, so he cried. At this time, he saw Fusu very kind, and was not too scared for a moment, sobbing and saying, "No, no. I am just afraid!"
Fusu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled softly, "It's good that it's okay. Be careful in the future and don't bump into it. There was almost something happened just now! Come, brother, please help you wipe your face!" Fusu took out a brocade handkerchief from his body and carefully helped the little boy wipe the tears and dust on his face until his face was basically clean. Then he smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, it's clean now! Go and go somewhere else to play!" "Yes!" The little boy nodded sensibly and was about to leave.
Fusu suddenly remembered something and said softly: "Wait, little brother. I'll ask you alone, do you know this person Han Xin?" The little boy blinked and shook his head to say he didn't know. Fusu smiled and said, "If you don't know, forget it, go quickly! No, I'll buy candy for you and your friends to eat, even if the big brother gives you a gift!" The little boy didn't dare to ask for it, so Fusu forced it into his hands, and then ran away happily with his friends.
Fusu turned around and smiled and said, "Let's go and go to the tavern in the city!" But he saw Wuxin and others staring at him in a daze, without moving. Fusu looked at him, there was nothing wrong with it, and said, "What's wrong? You see me like this, don't you know me anymore?"
Huo Feng suddenly smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that the young master is so loving!" Wu Chi, who has never spoken much, said strangely: "Yes, the young master has always been majestic on weekdays, and it turns out that he has such a gentle side!"
Only then did Fusu remember that his gentle and meticulous behavior just now was very inconsistent with his strong and majestic image in daily life, and he couldn't help but say a little forgiveness: "A child, what are the sins of being a child! Let's go!" "Here!" Everyone responded and followed Fusu towards the center of the city!
Fan Tianshi looked at Fusu with a glimmer of light at this moment, obviously not understanding Fusu's repeated failures today! Fusu could not point it out, so he had to pretend to be confused and move forward all the way!
After a while, everyone entered a tavern in the city. The waiter saw Fusu and his group of people dressed in bright clothes and were angry, and they were very angry. They did not dare to neglect them, and they greeted them diligently.
Fusu looked at the warm arrangement and hotel around him, and smiled and said, "Remember, you don't have to have any delicacies! Just bring your special home-cooked dishes. If I am satisfied with this, I will definitely receive a reward!" "Okay!" The waiter liked to hear Fusu's words the most, and quickly arranged it.
After a while, home-cooked dishes were served as priced as flowing water. Although they were far less abundant than Huaiyang cuisine, which was famous in later generations, they still allowed Fusu to see the familiar shadows and smell the familiar fragrance!
Fusu couldn't wait to pick up the long chopsticks and aimed at the braised crucian carp that he liked most in his daily life. He tasted it a little: it was slightly sweet and salty, crispy and tender, and it was indeed the most familiar taste of the hometown dish. He immediately remembered his parents and brothers in his previous life. His eyes were slightly wet, and he was stunned for a moment!
Su Xue, who was sitting beside her, saw that Fusu had lost her composure again, quickly pushed Fusu carefully. Fusu suddenly came to her senses and smiled like a self-deprecatingly: "No, good, very good, very good skills! I'm not interested, I'll give you two or fifty dollars!"
Wuxin responded and took out a knife coins from the treasure bag beside him to reward the waiter. The fifty coins were enough for the waiter’s income of two months. He immediately made the waiter’s eyes narrow together, and bowed and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you!"
Fusu shook his hand and smiled and said, "By the way, waiter, I ask you, are you familiar with the customs of the people in this city?" The waiter shook his waist and smiled, "The villain grew up in Huaiyin City since he was a child. There is almost nothing he doesn't know about this family, from famous people to unfamous hooligans. If you have any questions, even if you ask, the young man will tell you everything!"
Fusu nodded with satisfaction, thought for a while and said, "Can you know a young man named Han Xin?" The waiter blinked and thought hard after hearing this, shook his head and said, "Young Master, can you have any tips?"
Fusu thought for a while and said, "This young man is about thirteen or fourteen years old now, and his parents have both died. After his mother died in recent years, although he had no money to hold a funeral, he searched for tall and spacious cemeteries everywhere, saying that he wanted to make plans for the future and that 10,000 houses could be built around the cemetery to protect his mother's undead!"
As soon as this said, Wu Xin and others were stunned: This child was so angry that he built ten thousand houses. This was a rich man! Can a mere civilian son achieve such great success?
But when the waiter suddenly realized his mind, he patted his forehead and smiled, "I remember it, I remember it! There is such a little scoundrel who has an amazing tone on weekdays and is called "Heavenly Crazy" by people in the city! Not many people know this real name!"
Fusu felt sad and asked anxiously: "Since both his parents died, he was young and had no ability to make a living, how could he live?"
When the waiter heard this, he shook his head and said, "Yes, it's very pitiful! Fortunately, our people are simple and the neighbors often help him. He eats hundreds of food, but he doesn't starve to death! However, this kid doesn't know how to be a human being, and never says thank you for eating others' food, as if he owes him, so now the neighbors hate him very much, calling him a scoundrel, and gradually getting less help. But it's strange that this kid is so poor that he even sold the only two dilapidated houses in his family, exchanged for a broken sword and some books that people can't understand. He reads it all day long, and he is almost like a madman if he is not crazy!"
Fusu felt a chill in his heart: "It's so pitiful, although the childhood of a famous general was so miserable! But under such circumstances, Han Xin still maintained his unyielding pride, worked hard to study, and did his own thing! It's really amazing!" He asked anxiously: "Since Han Xin has no place to live, where does he live?"
The waiter thought for a while and said, "This kid has been living in a dilapidated temple in the center of the city recently. He is so pitiful that he is hungry and full. He is often bullied by the gangsters nearby. How long he can live depends on God's will!"
Fusu nodded and said sadly: "Okay, you go down, I will call you again!" The waiter nodded, and retreated with his waist.
Fan Tianshi felt more and more that Fusu was a little strange today: "After this great Qin Wu'an Jun came to Huaiyin secretly, he not only acted strangely, but also inquired about an unknown little rogue and looked caring! As the saying goes, strange things happen every year, and there are a lot of them this year, it's true!" Although poor Fan Tianshi was extremely smart, he couldn't think of a ugliness and Yin Mao when he wanted to break his head at this time!
At this time, Fusu said, "Eat quickly, go to the ruined temple in the city after eating!" Everyone saw Fusu's face was gloomy and did not dare to ask too much, so they had to bury their heads and eat.
Poor to this meal of hometown, which was precious to Fusu, made Fusu eat a little bit like chewing wax. He kept thinking about Han Xin’s miserable experience!
*******
Finally, after everyone finished the depressed lunch, they paid, and rode their horses towards the center of the city!
Wuxin saw that Fusu was in a bad mood, so he rode his horse forward to lead the way, inquire all the way, and soon came to the dilapidated temple in the center of the city!
Fusu looked up and looked carefully: This is a City God Temple that I don’t know when it was built. It’s a must-have, but it’s so dilapidated and very shabby. The dilapidated window lattices and sparse tiles may not even meet the requirements of at least wind and rain!
Han Xin actually lived in such a place, and Fusu couldn't help feeling sad!
Fusu looked at the surrounding environment again, frowned and jumped off his horse, raised his legs and walked inside. Wuxin called in a low voice: "Young Master, it's very dirty here. If you want to see that boy, we'll take him out!"
Fusu didn't want to speak, so he just shook his head and walked forward. Everyone looked at each other, with a helpless expression, so he had to dismount together and follow Fusu towards the temple gate.
As soon as I arrived at the temple gate, two candles like till year-old breaks suddenly moaned twice under the breeze, and the spider webs on the corner of the door also floated gently with the wind, which fully rendered the ruined atmosphere of the temple!
A look of pity flashed in Fusu's eyes. Just as he was about to push the door and enter, a noise suddenly came from inside. Fusu slightly identified it and could clearly hear: this is a group of hooligans bullying people inside!
Thinking of what the waiter said just now, a cold light flashed in Fusu's eyes, and he suddenly became angry. He completely sent two broken door panels back to his hometown with just one kick! With a "touch", the two door panels flew inward, and dust flew for a moment, and he couldn't see his five fingers.
Fusu stepped in without caring: he saw five or six seventeen or eighteen years old in the dilapidated courtyard, dressed in a torn and bad-looking hooligan looking at the door. A thin body on the ground was struggling to get up stubbornly, with intense anger and deep pain burning in his unyielding eyes, and blood was dripping from the corners of his mouth!
Fusu's eyes suddenly felt like fire was burning, and his whole body was filled with a violent murderous aura, and he walked slowly and firmly towards the thin boy! The powerful momentum immediately made several hooligan rogues who were originally fierce and evil, and their feet trembled and retreated continuously!
Fusu suddenly stretched out his hand, helped the thin boy up, and said in a deep voice: "Are you Han Xin?"
The thin boy wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his dirty sleeves. His tall nose bridge thrust slightly, and his eyes revealed a sense of arrogance that could never be crushed or beaten. He raised his slender eyes and responded: "I am! What are you looking for me?"
Fusu looked at Han Xin with satisfaction, feeling that this stubborn young man had the potential to become a famous general of a generation. He couldn't help but like him more and more. He nodded and smiled, "Very good, very good! I finally found you!" Suddenly, the corners of his eyes were the corners of his eyes, and he felt unhappy!
Fusu pointed to these hooligans with his hand and said coldly to Wuxin and others: "Break one of their legs, don't show mercy!" As he said, he said to Han Xin softly: "Come with me!" Seeing that Fusu is very gentle to him, like a relative who has been away for a long time, Han Xin's eyes, who had not felt the warmth of family affection for many years, suddenly blurred, and somehow he was led away by Fusu!
As soon as I left the temple, I heard a heart-wrenching scream and begging for mercy from inside. I guess I was beaten very badly! Fusu stood outside the door for less than thirty seconds, and Wuxin and others also came out with little dust on their clothes. They were naturally able to deal with these little hooligans with their ability!
Fusu whispered to Han Xin: "Are you hungry now?" Han Xin hesitated for a moment, his alert eyes gradually faded away, and he nodded. Fusu smiled and said, "I will take you to the clinic to treat your injuries first, and then take you to dinner! Come on, you and I will ride a horse and tell me how to get there in the clinic!"
Due to malnutrition, Han Xin is now thirteen or fourteen years old, and is at most about 1.4 or 50 meters tall. Compared to Fusu, who is tall and close to 1.9 meters tall, he can only be considered a child. Fusu easily lifted Han Xin onto the horse's back and stepped up himself, following Han Xin's guidance to the clinic.
After first dealing with Han Xin's injury, Fusu took Han Xin for a good meal, then bought a few new clothes for Han Xin, and even bought some books from various schools of thought for Han Xin in the library in the city. During this process, Han Xin remained silent and didn't even say thank you. Although Fusu didn't say anything, everyone was a little dissatisfied: I felt that this child was really a rogue. Fusu was so kind to him that he didn't even have the word "Thank you"!
After leaving the clinic, Fusu thought for a while and asked Han Xin: "There is a small river at the east gate of the city, do you know?" Han Xin nodded and pointed to the east. Fusu understood and still lifted Han Xin onto the back of the horse and headed east. Everyone had no choice but to follow behind and walk towards the east of the city.
Huaiyin Ancient City is close to Hongze Lake and is also a land of fish and rice. So as soon as you leave the city, there are more rivers on the roadside. The crisscrossing rivers remind Fusu of his childhood in his previous life: catching loaches, fishing lobsters, and sticking to cicadas with his relatives. How carefree the time was at that time!
While walking, everyone saw a road monument: Xiaguan! Not far from the monument, there was a clear stream flowing in the shade of green trees and red flowers! The stream was flowing, and a group of women were washing clothes. The sound of washing rods knocking on clothes everywhere was dull and distant. What a natural and harmonious picture!
Fusu slammed the stirrup and took Han Xin down again, and walked towards the stream. Wuxin and others, who were depressed and puzzled, had to follow behind with a wry smile. There were too many strange things today, and everyone was a little numb!
When Fusu came to the stream, the group of people with bright clothes and angry horses immediately attracted the attention of a group of women by the stream. The women were stunned, and suddenly Fusu bowed and asked respectfully: "Which old man is a floating mother?"
The women were stunned. An old mother in her fifties stood up and said in surprise: "I am, are you?" Fusu looked at her mother. Although the clothes made of coarse cloth were worn, they were washed clean and clean, tidy, strong, with kind eyes, and her face revealed the unique simplicity and kindness of rural women!
Fusu smiled slightly and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I just want to ask for your help, can I be convenient for talking here?" Seeing that Fusu was so majestic that he didn't look like a bad person, she put down her clothes, wiped the wet water, and followed Fusu aside.
Fusu looked at the mother of piao, then at Han Xin beside him, and smiled and said, "Auntie, I know you are a very kind and polite person, so I have something to ask for, I wonder if the aunt would like to help?"
The mother of puff was stunned for a moment. She was obviously very surprised that a rich young man like Fusu would have something to ask for a poor husband like her. She couldn't help but wonder: "This young man is just a laundry woman, and I'm afraid he can't help the young man!"
Fusu smiled and said, "My mother can help me! What I asked was to ask the aunt to take care of Han Xin, the child on his behalf until he became an adult! Do you think?" Mother Piao looked at Han Xin beside Fusu, feeling a little embarrassed: "Young master's entrusting me, I shouldn't refuse, but I am alone and make a living by washing clothes for the rich. I am not flawless in my care. I am afraid I can't take good care of this child!"
Fusu smiled and said, "As long as the mother of flying agrees, you will not let the elderly spend money! Wuxin, go to the saddle to get a hundred taels of gold!" "Yes!" Wuxin responded and turned around and immediately took a gold bag and handed it to Fusu.
Fusu respectfully presented the golden bag with both hands and handed it to the plum mother. The plum mother couldn't help but feel at a loss. The hundred taels of gold in Huaiyin was enough for a well-off family to live a hundred years. It was really too tempting to take care of Han Xin, a child.
To be continued...
