Chapter 2 Be Careful

"Germany broke the tractor team! You are cheating! Even if you lose to Mexico, you can even lose even a stick, and you even lost 2-0! You are so embarrassed by the Germans!"

"That fat man who jumped off the building also cheated his father. He lost his house by himself. When he died, he also pulled me off the rooftop! Even if I saved you because I wanted to make meritorious performance and strive for the opportunity to get promoted and make money, I would have saved you kindly! You really want to die, so don't hold my hand at that time! Now, you've died, my future has been delayed, and I have come inexplicably this ghost era has become someone else. You are a fat man who lacks great virtues!"

Lying on the short couch, Xiang Kang didn't know how many times he cursed the fat gambling man who had killed him in his heart. A sound of talking and laughing suddenly came, and the door was quickly pushed open. A dozen Xiang family members rushed into Xiang Kang's resting room with swords and the cold wind in late autumn. They almost filled the low and narrow room in an instant. Xiang Zhuang, the oldest Xiang Zhuang, rushing to speak, and asked, "Xiang Kang, what's going on? A lot of it?"

"I heard that you can get up by yourself in the morning, it's almost done?"

"Xiang Kang, see what I brought? Chen Ma (Aunt Chen)’s good wine! Get up and drink a few sips to warm your body, and it will be a few days."

He shouted, Xiang Sheng, the big brother of the tribe, didn't care whether the patient could drink or not, so he pulled Xiang Kang, who had been bedridden for more than a day, took out a gourd and pulled the plug, and put the gourd into Xiang Kang's mouth without saying a word, and poured the gourd's mouth into Xiang Kang's mouth. Although the alcohol content of rice wine in this era is similar to beer, and Xiang Kang, who had been "long-standing" in the 21st century, was not much different from drinking water, but Xiang Kang was injured after all, and could not adapt to the strange smell of alcohol in this era. He was choked on the spot and coughed loudly. Xiang Sheng and several Xiang brothers laughed at each other, and seemed to appreciate Xiang Kang's teasing.

"Okay, Xiang Sheng, don't bully Xiang Kang. He is just a little better. If you can't drink, don't force him to drink."

Xiang Guan, who was also big, snatched the wine gourd, first took a sip into his mouth, and then asked Xiang Kang: "Xiang Kang, aren't there? How do you feel?"

"It's okay, it's much better." Xiang Kang replied, wiping the broken wine beside his mouth, but his eyes unconsciously looked at another clan brother Xiang Zhuang, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother, are you really called Xiang Zhuang?"

The laughter in the room came to an abrupt end. The Xiang family's children were all inexplicably confused. Xiang Zhuang was even more confused. While reaching out to touch Xiang Kang's forehead, he said in surprise: "Xiang Kang, why are you still talking nonsense? What's my name? Why do you still have to ask?"

"Then..., who is Xiang Bo?" Xiang Kang asked again.

"Is Uncle Xiang our uncle?" Xiang Zhuang was even more surprised and said, "What? You have forgotten who your uncle is? Do we want to find a doctor (doctor) to show you?"

Xiang Kang smiled bitterly, and finally confirmed that the brother Xiang Zhuang in front of him was the famous Xiang Zhuang in history - Xiang Zhuang, who was meant to be Pei Gong! After a bitter smile, Xiang Kang, who knew a little about the history of the Qin and Han dynasties, couldn't help but ask again: "Where is that Xiang Ji (Xiang Yu)? Who is he my person? Where is he now?"

"Yes Xiang Ji is also your brother, of course." Xiang Zhuang said: "He and another uncle, Xiang Liang, went to Kuaiji County. What should you know? Why do you still ask?"

Xiang Kang smiled even more bitterly and said for a while: "I'm still a little dizzy, I can't remember many things at all, I want to take a rest."

Xiang Zhuang agreed, and hurriedly helped Xiang Kang and lay down again with Xiang Sheng. He also carefully covered Xiang Kang with reed bedcloth (quilt) stuffed with reeds, and then sat on the ground with other Xiang family members, discussing Xiang Kang's condition with some concern. Xiang Kang looked at the roof in a daze, smiled bitterly, and said in his heart: "It was indeed the late Qin Dynasty, it was indeed Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. Now I am having a lot of fun."

Xiang Kang's history is not good, but no matter how bad the history is, Xiang Kang also knows what is about to happen next - first, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang called out that the princes, princes, generals and ministers were still alive, and then Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, who were full of brute force, followed the rebellion, overthrew the Qin Dynasty and killed Ziying, and then the Chu-Han battle for hegemony. Xiang Yu was killed by the old hooligan Liu Bang, and was dismembered after his death...

History is indeed bad. Xiang Kang did not know what the Xiang family would end after Xiang Yu's death. However, judging from later movies and TV series, it seems that after Xiang Yu's death, the Xiang family seemed to have completely disappeared without a trace. I don't know if it was killed by Liu Bang, killed all his sons and grandchildren, or was forced to change his name and surname, and disappeared forever in the long river of history.

"Let's take one step at a time. Anyway, this life is taken back, and living one more day is earning one more day. If you really can't live, at worst, I'll be like Xiang Bo, a traitor to the Xiang family, and help Liu Bang fight Xiang Yu. Anyway, I don't like the King of Western Chu who is well-developed and simple-minded and has a history of reversing the feudal system."

With the peace of mind that he has come and has been peaceful and hard to integrate the memories left by Xiang Kang, Xiang Kang soon became familiar with his new identity - the nephew of Xiang Yan, the famous general of Chu State, Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo, the cousin of the historical celebrity Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang. After the fall of Chu State, the family moved from Xiang County to Xiaxiang. When he was young, he lost his mother and father. He grew up all by kindness from the elders of the same clan. He is now 18 years old and is in his prime. He looks decent but has no marriage, nor is he not a fiancé wife who has a wealthy family. This is also the most regrettable thing to Xiang Kang.

The new identity was adapted quickly, but the life of this era made Xiang Kang difficult to adapt to anything, and he had to eat rough food and not swallow it. He had to be careful when sitting down without a bench or underwear. The so-called deep-clothed suit and he was still so sluggish. He was wearing it on his body, but it made Xiang Kang uncomfortable no matter how he wore it. He had no tea or coffee at most, only some boiled water. If there was no electric light or clock, he could only light an animal oil lamp lighting that would smell. He could estimate the approximate time when he looked at the sun or a leaky pot without precision.

He didn't even have paper, so he could only write on bamboo slips. If he went to the toilet... Fortunately, Xiang Kang knew how to adapt and found some big leaves instead.

There are also miserable things. The economic situation of the old Xiang family was also very bad. The nobles were later pretentious. No one in the clan wanted to farm, buy, sell and do business. They just wanted to be idle all day long and wander around. The food, clothing and expenses were all depended on the property left by their ancestors. Although the old Xiang family was a general in the Chu State for generations, the wealth of the family was not comparable to the nobles of the six countries, they could not resist the slaughter of a family for more than ten years. In addition, the two uncles Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo, who were in charge of the family, were both good at making money. When they were rich, they didn't know what it meant to be a long time ago. They had basically lost all their family. If they had not controlled the last little money, the old Xiang family would probably not even be able to eat.

Even if the family is like this, Xiang Kang, who was born in the neighboring branch, is of course even worse. In addition to a ragged courtyard assigned by his elders, Xiang Kang's house only has two sets of maroon clothes and a bit of iron sword passed down from his ancestors. He can't find anything decent.

Fortunately, both aunts were very virtuous. They knew that Xiang Kang was injured and could not get food when he was in the water. They brought food to Xiang Kang on time every day. No matter how rough and simple it was, they did not let Xiang Kang's nephew starve. At the same time, the children of the Xiang family were also very sympathetic. They got some decent food outside or had some wild game, but they did not forget to leave a copy for Xiang Kang to deliver it, and tried their best to be a brother of the same clan. Xiang Kang finally did not starve to death and froze to death in this era.

Now, seven or eight days later, my aunt brought dinner and just left, a dozen Xiang brothers came to Xiang Kang's room again. They not only brought a few jars of millet wine, but also brought a piece of old beef that was extremely precious in this era. They wanted to enjoy it with Xiang Kang, who had eaten millet vegetarian dishes every day and had already faded out of their mouths. When they saw it, they quickly invited the brothers of the same clan to sit down and barbecue and drink together around the ground stove.

The beef brought by the Xiang brothers was an old beef that died of illness. The dried beef was almost the same as the beef jerky in later generations. The dipping sauce seasoned after roasting also had a strange smell. However, Xiang Kang, who had not seen the meat fishy for more than ten days, ate it very fragrant. The Xiang brothers were all like wolves and tigers. While drinking big gulps, they ate meat like a group of starving ghosts. They ate voraciously. While eating wolf-drinking, Xiang, who was the youngest in age and seniority, said vaguely: "The meat is the best. It would be great if you could eat meat every day, no matter pork, beef, mutton."

"When my father (grandfather) was still alive, our family ate meat every day." Xiangzhuang, who had already twenty-one, took the conversation and said, "I still remember that when my father was alive, our family ate meat every day, pork and chicken every day, mutton, beef, goose meat (swan meat) and quail meat often, and there are so many fish patterns that I can't count, and sometimes I can eat bear's paw."

"I have also eaten the bear paw." Xiang Han, who was the same year as Xiang Zhuang, rushed to say: "It's soft and glutinous, and the soup (soup) is so fresh that it can melt people's tongue."

Xiang Zhuang nodded and admitted that the same smell of bear paws in his memory was the same. As a result, Xiang Yan's great-grandson, who was less than seventeen years old, became confused when he heard this, and said in confusion: "Have we eaten so many good things when we were young? Why don't I remember it at all?"

"You were less than two years old at that time, of course I can't remember it." Xiang Zhuang pointed out the reason and sighed: "It would be great if the eldest father and Chu State were still there. How could we live in such a broken place and eat such pig and dog food?"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little depressed. The Xiang family, who had experienced a wonderful time of luxury in childhood, no longer laughed and joking, and everyone showed nostalgia on their faces. Xiang Guan said regretfully: "It's a pity that my father lost the battle in Qi County, otherwise he would not die, nor our Chu State would not die."

The atmosphere in the room was even more depressing. The children of the Xiang family thought of their relatives' homeland and couldn't help but say nothing, and the room became extremely quiet. However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, and his tone was a little lazy: "Who said that our Chu State was destroyed? The Chu State's court is gone, but thousands of Chu people are still there. Although Chu has three households, Qin will be destroyed. "

Although Chu has three households, Qin will be destroyed. Of course, Xiang Kang is the one who can say this. The reason for saying this is also very simple - he is bored and retells a famous historical saying. But history is scattered, but Xiang Kang does not know that this sentence has not appeared yet. So after hearing this, the Xiang brothers not only looked at each other, but also asked Xiang Kang: "Xiang Kang, what did you say? Although Chu has three households, Qin will be destroyed? What does this sentence mean?"

The words were spoken and could not be taken back. Xiang Kang could only say again: "The meaning of this sentence is that even if the Chu State is only three clans or three families, it can destroy Qin State. In the future, those who end the tyranny of the King of Qin and save all the people in the world in dire straits must be our Chu people!"

"Why must we, Chu, be from the other six countries?" Xiang Han asked in confusion, and the other Xiang brothers also followed suit.

"Qin swallowed the world, among the six countries, our Chu State lost the most wrong!

Forced by helplessness, Xiang Kang could only cheer up. While recalling his pitiful historical knowledge, he said with confidence: "Our Chu State was deceived twice by Qin Prime Minister Zhang Yi and lost a large area of ​​land! The Wuguan Alliance, the King of Chu State was shamelessly detained and imprisoned by Qin State, causing our King of Chu to die in a foreign land! Later, our Chu State's army expanded its territory for China and expeditioned Dianchi Lake. The Qin people took the opportunity to attack and attack the Yingdu of our Chu State! Those who were convinced by these things, did not hate Qin State and the King of Qin State to the core? And who did not want to avenge the revenge, and stepped on Xianyang, and had a first-hand shame?"

The Xiang brothers looked at Xiang Kang up and down like they didn't know each other. After a while, Xiang Zhuang said, "Although the words make sense, will we Chu people have such an opportunity?"

"There will be there, there will be." Xiang Kang said confidently: "Although Qin has now wiped out the six countries in reputation and unified the world, the people of the six countries are unfaithful. The King of Qin has taken rebellious actions and abused the people's strength. He has no idea to rest with the people and appease the people. Every day, countless prisoners are exhausted to death in the construction site of Mount Li! On that day, there are no countless prisoners and men who are forced to serve in Mount Li? In the prison cells of Qin officials, the room is not full of innocent people who have been severely punished for minor crimes? On the execution ground, on that day, no people are cut off by chariots and broken hands and feet? How could the Qin court, which treats the people so cruelly, last long?"

After talking endlessly, Xiang Kang waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "So I can guarantee that as many as three years or as few as two years, the people in the world will definitely rebel because they can't stand the tyranny of Qin and fight to the death with the tyrannical Qin! Don't tell me why the people in the world rebelled in one go? Rebellion is death, and not rebellion is death. As long as the people in the world have some ambitions, who is willing to only make fish on the anvil and not fight to the death with the tyrannical Qin? You can kill yourself a way to live?"

"At that time, because the blood debt is not far away, and with the huge people in our Chu State, there are countless people who care about their homeland. Our Chu State people will inevitably become the main force of anti-Qin! The core backbone of the bloody battle with the tyrant Qin! Because of the tiger, wolf, and tyrant Qin, we owed too much to us Chu State people!"

Xiang Kang talked passionately, but no one of the Xiang family members present spoke, but they didn't want to speak, but they were all lost and opened their mouths wide. It took a long time to come back to their senses. Xiang Zhuang first came to his senses. He first picked up the wine jar and poured his breath into his mouth, then put down the wine jar and wiped his mouth, and said breathlessly: "Happy! Xiang Kang's words made me feel happy! That's right, although Chu has three households, Qin will definitely be destroyed!"

"Come on, Xiang Kang, I will toast you a bowl of wine!" Xiang Han handed a bowl of wine to Xiang Kang with his hands, and said excitedly: "For nothing else, I will just say these words just now! Brother, I am convinced, right, right! The Qin people owed us Chu people blood debts, we Chu people will definitely get them back by ourselves in the future!"
