Raiders in the days of Qin Shi Huang

The mud and snow on the horse's hooves splashed down, and the sound of hooves went away. The woodcutter saw that the official who had just asked the question had left with a group of people.

Thinking about what might happen to Yun Chang, King Qin gradually frowned, and gradually clenched his whip, white marks appeared on the knuckles on the back of his hand.

The sound of hooves was chaotic and hurried, the half-moon-shaped footprints were deeply imprinted on the snow, the mud was thrown out and splashed on the white snow, and a group of people hurried away.

On the other side, Yunshang held the child in one hand and a beautiful little donkey in the other.

She was standing at the door of a house, and in front of her was a pair of old people. The woman was half-blind, her back was rickety and her hair was full of white hair. Her husband was a lame man, a few years older than her. Their son died early. On weekdays, planting two ridges of land and weaving a few bolts of linen is also an income. Occasionally, I set a few traps in the mountains to see if I can catch a few wild animals for some money. I didn’t catch any wild animals today, but it’s called The old man brought back a little doll.

The two old people are old and their lives are difficult. Normally, they should not bring this doll back, but when the old people saw the child, they remembered the desolate scene of themselves having no children and grandchildren. The older child needs to be nursed, and the two usually serve rough porridge, rice and wild vegetables on the table. These rough things can't feed a delicate child. The old man is about to go out to find a family to send the child out, when Yunshang arrives.

She knocked on the door with a gentle and polite voice, "Did you find a child in the pavilion in the wilderness? There is a child in my family who fell into the wilderness just after he was born, so he hurried to chase after him."

No one would lie about a child. The two of them squinted their eyes at Yunshang, and found that it was a little woman. The child probably belonged to her or a relative in the family, so they sent the child away without further ado. Arrived in Yunshang's arms.

Taking the child over, Yunshang found that the swaddling clothes were cool, and the child's face was not normally red. He opened his mouth slightly, and the sound between his breaths was soft like the moaning of a milk cat.

"The most important thing now is to find two mouthfuls of milk for this child." The old woman told Yunshang.

Yunshang took the child into her arms and was relieved, as long as she was alive, she led the donkey out, then tied the child to the donkey, and climbed onto the donkey's back clumsily and slowly.

This donkey was exchanged with a gold hairpin and a pedestrian leading the donkey when she just left the palace, and regardless of whether others thought she was being taken advantage of, Yun Shang felt that this business was very suitable.

Cars and sedan chairs are the means of transportation she most often rides on, followed by two legs. She doesn't like the fact that horses are too tall, and the height of the donkey is just right, but it was the first time she rode it. Just go east, let go west, go west, all she needs is to raise her hand and gently pull the rein.

When she arrived at the pavilion, she didn't see the child, only two women were resting. When Yunshang asked, she said that she saw an old man carrying a child back. The swaddle was made of good fabric, and it must have come from a wealthy family. .

Walking along the direction the two said, Yunshang successfully found the place where the two lived, and then brought the child over so smoothly. If you say thank you, Yunshang can't think of how to thank you other than money The other party, so they gave them some money to improve their situation.

Now at the door of the house where the second elder said that there was a woman who was just a few months old, she didn't say the purpose first, money made the way, and the other party listened to Yun Shang's purpose with a smiling face, and then nodded in agreement.

This family is also an ordinary farmer. The man poured a glass of water and went out. Beside the woman was a sleeping child. She skillfully took the child from Yunshang and held it in her arms. .

The wind in winter was too cold and too hard, she first touched the child's face gently, and then untied his clothes to feed him.

Because there was a stranger woman in the room whose face was a little red, she didn't ask much, and just said to Yunshang: "Don't worry, the child is young, and everything will be fine after eating and sleeping."

Yun Chang nodded, "It's best to be fine."

The melancholy she had when she left the palace gate had long since disappeared, and now that she was relieved, she naturally thought of the arrival of King Qin.

Today's move can be called a storm, I hope he didn't get angry, but just thinking about it, I know it's impossible.

What should I do?

Turning her eyes, Yun Chang decided to hide outside for a while longer.

There is nothing to worry about.

Often the person who takes the initiative first will miss a move. Yunshang is not smarter than King Qin, and she does not intend to compete with him in wisdom in this life.

But after getting along for a long time, the subtleties of feelings are no longer difficult to distinguish. He is really good at coaxing people. If one day he changes his career and becomes a liar, he will definitely make a lot of money. Yun Shang thought about it and smiled.

Of course she is King Qin's favorite woman, but this favor is just a tool to coax her.

If a man likes a woman and is satisfied with her everywhere, he will naturally want a pair of eyes full of love and infatuation.

From the day she entered the palace, she already belonged to King Qin.

In a slavery society, he stands at the top of power.Yunshang is a subject of King Qin, his concubine Ji, and he is her husband, but the word "husband and wife" is far from the two of them.As a husband, King Qin can get a lot of things, but as a master, he can get anything from this beauty. He can give whatever he wants at any time according to his mood at a certain moment.

Gradually seeing through this point, Yunshang wanted more things. Petting is a good thing, but it is really not enough.

She has been waiting for an opportunity to change King Qin's attitude.

Now it's finally here, since the first time she met Ping Ji, Qin Wang deliberately kept himself and his daughter at a distance.Yun Shang didn't care at first. At that time, he didn't cherish her as much as he does now. If he did something he didn't like, the consequences would be disastrous.

When she finally gained a bit of confidence, a few years passed in a tepid way, and now Ping Ji has a child.

If King Qin didn't let Yunshang take care of this matter, he was exposing part of his bottom line. How could she resist trying to test it?

The youngest son was abandoned in the ice and snow, so pitiful, just in need of a kind person, so she did it.

Anyway, she has always been so "soft-hearted", Yun Shang looked at the blushing child who was sucking milk, she was really pitiful.

At this moment, it depends on how King Qin will treat her, a woman who doesn't know how to flatter her and pushes her forward.

With the sharp blade at the back of her heart, she could only move forward step by step. King Qin could hug her or kill her.

This choice has always been in Qin Wang's hands, and Yun Chang went against his will at this time, but he didn't think it was too terrible.

Provoking death and dancing on a tightrope are not praiseworthy actions. Maybe because the person opposite her is King Qin, she should be praised as a warrior.

Rather than hesitating on the line of life and death, Yunshang hopes to get a clear answer, whether to die due to sin or continue to be his wife and beauty.

After jumping into the mine line, Yun Chang felt a lot more relaxed, although she was also very relaxed.

Today, the child had been passively running around for too long, and he was really tired. Yun Shang watched him fall asleep again with a feeling of bewilderment, and then went out with the child in his arms.

I don't know if it was freezing so badly that it made a child afraid. Until now, there is no deafening crying in the legend, and occasionally there are a few immature and subtle sounds like a newborn baby animal.

Maybe it was because she had just had milk, but now she was lying in Yunshang's swaddle with her eyes closed, her tender cheeks were still flushed, and a faint white mist emerged from between his mouth and nose with every breath.

Yun Shang poked his cheek curiously, the movement of his hands was very light, the child just trembled his eyelashes, and did not even open his eyes.

It made her smile, and she shook the baby in her arms a couple of times.

Looking at the child in her arms, Yunshang thought, even if it was nothing but fetching water from a bamboo basket in the end, and she couldn't get what she wanted from King Qin, today's move was worth it.

Ping Ji is pitiful, this child is also pitiful, I don't know why Ping Ji treats her own child like this, maybe there is a hidden secret that others don't know, but pitiful is still pitiful.

For a long time, when she saw sad things, she was like watching flowers in the mirror of the moon in the water, knowing that they were pitiful but not feeling the pain.Food and drink can make her feel real happiness at a certain moment, but she can't keep it in her heart, like a gust of wind comes and circles away.

If she is really alive, Yunshang wants to be a good person and do some good deeds.

She is ignorant, but it's not that she doesn't understand everything, right and wrong, good and evil, how to judge and make choices, she has seen too much, and she has imagined what she should do when faced with such a choice.

Now she is taking a step and reaching out her hand, on the one hand, it is to compete with King Qin, on the other hand, it is also her inner choice.

If being a good person is so easy, she still wants to be a good person.

Moreover, this trip is not a white job, it is a win-win situation that benefits others and oneself.

When Yunshang bought the donkey, she didn't have a whip. She used a twig picked up by the roadside. As long as she touched the donkey's back lightly, the donkey seemed to know how to carry people's thoughts. Go, or turn that way.

Yun Chang had to have a meal first, and then find a place to live to rest, it was also very cold outside.

Along a path, Yunshang rode on a donkey, protecting the child with one hand, while looking at the surrounding scenery.

There are houses nearby, but not too many. A family circles a small yard near the house. The houses have mud tiles and thatched roofs. The snow dances slowly in the sky and falls on the ground, like a A naughty child is piled up on the roof, and it seems to be pieces of soft and crystal cotton candy piled up together. Yun Chang wants to eat cotton candy a little bit.

Swallowing her saliva, she looked at the surrounding scenery and her mood became better and better.

King Qin's mood was not so good and leisurely. He led the soldiers and after several inquiries, he successfully found the places where the merchants lived.

Looking at the closed wooden door, he took a slow breath before letting someone break in.

The spear tip was inserted through the middle of the crack in the door, and the soldier pressed down hard, cutting off the bolt directly, and then stretched out his hand to push the two simple doors to both sides, and the wooden doors creaked wide open.

In winter, people all stay indoors, and the tea is not boiled outside. There is only one slave holding a bundle of grass outside to feed the animals.

King Qin got off his horse, threw the whip in his hand to a guard, and walked in with his sword in hand.

The snow in the yard has been swept clean, but the road surface is hard in winter, and it is bare everywhere, and several blue-tiled huts are connected together.

It was built nearby, and it is specially used for leasing. Generally, people who rent houses here are businessmen who can't stay a few times a year.

The sound insulation of the house is not very good, there are thin voices coming from inside, the man's voice is vulgar and disturbing, interspersed with a few sad cries, the voice is too weak and too far away for people to hear clearly.

The soldier broke open another door, and the voice inside seemed to stop for a moment, and then continued, this time it was much clearer, and it made people even more disturbed.

King Qin strode in, and when the last door was opened, he could clearly see what was going on inside.

The baby's weak cry sounded from one side, and the two men were together with their upper bodies bare, a strand of black silk hanging down the bed to the ground, and a small piece of white skin was revealed from between the two of them.

"Stop crying, spoil the fun, do you want to be beaten again!" a man shouted in a rough voice, and another man's voice had a lewd smile, "Look at this white one, lard is not so white or tender."

The king of Qin raised his hand and waved the sword in his hand, and the heads of the two fell to the ground, rolling around twice with blood, and when they reached the corner, the blood splashed everywhere, and half of the bed curtain was soaked.

A woman screamed and got up from the bed, sticky and sweet blood spilled on half of her face, her clothes were almost torn off, she noticed a group of people who broke in in a panic, and saw that there were still clothes inside. The soldier in armor holding a spear, she quickly knelt down according to the clothes, her body trembling, "The little woman was robbed here by a strongman, and she wanted to do something wrong. Thank you for saving my life." Her voice was trembling. , I was too scared.

There was blood on the woman's face and her clothes were disheveled, but this was enough for King Qin to tell if it was Yunshang. In addition, there was nothing to understand about the unfamiliar jade bracelet on the table. The one that was casually thrown in the basket The child in the movie is not a child who has just landed.

Although it was a misunderstanding, it was not Yunshang who met the unfortunate one, King Qin didn't feel relieved, and instead frowned even tighter.

The woman kneeling on the ground is not very good-looking, but she has already suffered such misfortune. Yun Chang is already beautiful, even if she covers her face, she will attract villains to covet her.This time she came out of the palace alone and didn't know what would happen to her.In addition, outside the palace is no better than inside the palace. People in the palace will not behave rudely if they know her identity, but outsiders don't know her identity.

There is no one on the street, and the good people naturally live in peace. The local ruffians and bullies of the rich and the rich are lawless on weekdays. How can they not move when they see beauty.

After King Qin left the courtyard, he ordered in a cold voice: "Ask people to search from house to house."

Team A goes out and is guarded by the team leader, knocking on doors from door to door to see if there are any women with children.

Yunshang just settled in an inn, took a bath and changed clothes, the children are greedy for food, no matter how hard it is, they can't suffer the children, so they recruited the waiter in the store, "Do you know if there is any woman nearby who can feed the children? If you are healthy, these are your rewards." Yun Shang gestured to Xiao Er for a small piece of gold in her hand.

She just borrowed a pair of scissors from Xiaoer, took the most simple gold hairpin on her head, and cut it into small beads.

"Madam, don't be like this. Gold and silver are precious, and villains are not short of food and drink, so they really don't need them." Xiaoer refused to accept the things in Yunshang's hand, and then answered what Yunshang mentioned, "Madam, don't worry. , A sister in my family recently gave birth to a child, and she doesn't want gold, silver and property, you can just order her a chicken or a duck."

In less than a moment, Xiao Er pulled over a woman in coarse clothes. She was eighteen or nineteen years old, and she was clean. She smiled when she saw Yun Chang.

While feeding the child, the woman said to Yun Shang: "That boy is a fool, Madam, don't take offense."

Yunshang knew that the other party was talking about the waiter in the shop, and the other party was very warm and nice to her, so don't ask for a reward. He is really a silly young man, "He is enthusiastic and a good person."

A poor man refuses a woman's money, sometimes because of pity, sometimes because of self-esteem.

The more a person's self-esteem meets someone he cares about, the more intense it becomes, just like parents who care about their own image in front of their children.

The waiter likes this woman with a nice voice, so she has a warm and attentive attitude and doesn't want to take her money.Thinking about Yun Shang's dress, the family must be either rich or expensive, and she will definitely not be able to live a hard life. Now that she is going out, it is better to keep the money in her hands.

The little woman came out from Yunshang's place after eating meat dishes, and handed a chicken leg to the waiter in her hand, "Are you a fool? People don't see what you are thinking at all. For such a woman, if there is a man in her family If she is alive, it is impossible to make her suffer. Most likely, she will be welcomed back after staying here for less than three days. If she is willing to reward you, why don’t you accept it? It’s not good to start a small business or buy a small house. Don’t be such a good person.”

The waiter took the chicken leg and giggled, then took a bite, "Sister, please do me a favor. Someone is searching for a woman with a child on the front street. Come with me and ask the lady inside if she can help."

The woman snorted, "I'm your sister. Of course it's okay to help you with such a small matter, but your boss is willing to help? He is most afraid of things."

The shop waiter showed a simple and honest smile, and said, "It was the boss who asked me to ask my sister."

The woman's eyes widened in amazement, and she said unconsciously, "This is the blossoming iron tree."

When the little woman asked, Yun Shang agreed, and a pot of hot water was boiled in the inn. She pretended to be a parturient, and the woman pretended to be a midwife.

When the soldiers came to inquire, the place was in a mess, saying that the people inside were giving birth and could not see the guests.

It was this woman pretending to be a midwife who was talking, her hands were still hot with the chicken blood she had just brought from the kitchen, and she was sweating profusely from nervousness, which seemed to be the case.

Screams came out one after another in the house. Several men had wives who had given birth in their homes. After hearing it for a few ears, they believed it, but they still asked, "Why did you go to the inn to give birth?"

The little woman sighed, "The little daughter-in-law had a quarrel with the man at home, and she wanted to go back to her mother's house for two or three days, but I didn't expect to give birth prematurely halfway."

The soldier left, and the waiter squatted by the bed and screamed continuously. Yunshang pretended to be a pregnant woman lying on the bed, but drew circles in front of the child's eyes with her fingers, making the child's eyes roll.

After a while, the waiter stopped screaming, wiped the sweat off his brow, and straightened up.

Yunshang praised him: "The real person doesn't show his face, what a skill!" She never thought that the waiter in the shop could be ventriloquist, imitating the scream of a pregnant woman so vividly, even the sound effect brought by the distance is so similar.

"It's a trivial skill, it's not worth mentioning." The waiter said with a blushing face.

It can be seen that he really doesn't think this is a skill.

When the shop waiter went out, his sister came in again to help Yunshang breastfeed the child. Seeing this, Yunshang asked her: "You also know that my husband's status is extraordinary, why are you still willing to help? Don't be afraid..."

"Although Ma'am didn't show her face, I know she is a beauty. Now that I have a child again, if you say something, I am afraid that your husband would be willing to take the moon off the sky, let alone let us little people go. Well." The woman said with a smile, the tension from seeing Bingjia just now has faded, and her face is determined.

Yun Shang was confident that she would tell King Qin not to implicate these innocent people, but it was the first time she had received so much kindness, and she was flattered all of a sudden.

The little woman thought that Yun Chang was in a nervous mood, so she said: "It's idle at this time, why don't I tell my wife an interesting story."

"There is a woman nearby whose father is a butcher. She has broad shoulders and a thick waist, which makes her look a bit mighty. A man has followed her since she was twelve or thirteen years old and expressed his love for her. It's not that he fell in love with her, but He fell in love with her family's lard. But he was handsome, and although he was poor, the butcher's family was not short of money, so he agreed to their marriage. The butcher's daughter had a bad temper and didn't like cooking. It was the man who did it, and he coaxed the woman when she was angry. A few years later, the man joined the army, and a few years later he became a general. When he returned home, he still cooked. The wife was still a little fat, and the man became more and more heroic. She was always worried that the other party would lure the concubine into the house, so her temper became more and more violent, and the man still coaxed her."

This seems to be a very ordinary story, but it seems a bit unusual. Yun Shang heard it in her ears and said with emotion: "The love between husband and wife is deep."

"The butcher's daughter is ugly and has a bad temper. Her husband has loved her like a day for ten years. A beauty like Madam has just had a young son. What else can I worry about?"

This child is not hers, but Yunshang didn't argue about it, and saying it just made the other party more worried.

"Luo Fu, do you know why the couple are so affectionate?" She and King Qin have been together for a long time, but if you talk about temperature, it is always like a fire on ice. It should be destroyed, leaving only a field of ashes.

If love is like this, how can it be timeless?

"It's probably like this between husband and wife. Young couples come to keep company." The little woman smiled.

Yun Chang also smiled under the veil, King Qin and her are not husband and wife, I hope today's encounter is not in vain, she took the child from the woman's hand and shook it gently.

The child blinks his eyes and pokes out his little hand, innocent and cute.
