Return to the great era of China's eternal emperor, the Qin Dynasty, and change the established history.
Chapter 18 Paoze

"We'll live here a month later?"
Walking to the leftmost room in this row of huts, Heifu frowned.
At first glance, this is a house that has been built for a long time. The walls are made of earth, but many adobe has been cracked and pitted. The wooden door is so old that there is even a hole as big as a fist. On the roof, thatched grass pressed by wooden beams and clods rises with the wind, which makes people worry that they will be swept away at any time, and they don't know whether there is any rain leakage inside ...
In a word, it's just like a shack on a construction site he's seen in a previous life, and it's barely a shelter. The only thing that can be seen in the past is that the ground outside is shoveled clean, and there is not a single weed left.
Ji Ying has long been used to it. After all, he has already done the guard duty twice, so he laughed at himself and said, "I miss my residence in the county jail. At least there is no leakage of air and rain, and there is no need to train and work."
Saying this, he pushed the door open for Heifu and joked, "male scholar is advanced."
"A good scholar, but also knows how to be respected."
Heifu can only accompany him to take pains, but he has no choice but to bow down and enter, because the door is only seven feet away.
After entering the house, he found that there was no oil lamp, no firewood, and it was a little dark. After his eyes got used to the darkness in the house, Heifu saw clearly its internal settings.
In the narrow room, there is an aisle in the middle that can accommodate two people in parallel. On the left and right sides, there is an earthen platform about ten feet wide, which is slightly higher than the aisle. There are ten beds of straw mats. This means that the guards live according to "what", with ten people in one room.
When he entered the door, there were seven people in the room chatting. As soon as Heifu came in, they stopped talking. Looking back, seven pairs of eyes uniformly looked at the uninvited guest!
At this time, Ji Ying also came in. Before he entered the door, he was shouting, "Are there any people in Laishui Town?"
After he entered the door, he looked at the people inside, suddenly looked happy, pointed to the two people on the left side of the bedclothes and shouted, "Aren't these two brothers Bi and Mu?" It's also your turn to serve in Zhengdan! "
Black husband looked, but he was a short man with small eyes and round face who was only six and a half feet tall. He was surrounded by an eight-foot strong man with big arms and thick arms. He was taller than Black husband. Were it not for JiYing shout out, he killed all don't believe it turned out to be two brothers ...
"We are cousins." The two men answered their doubts. They also recognized Ji Ying, and they recognized him with a smile. It turns out that although they don't live in the same village, they served together last time, so they got to know each other.
Heidu is a little embarrassed to call them by their first names, while Bi is a pig, and Mu is not a peony, but a bull. Did the cousins' parents make an appointment in advance? I can't believe I named them animals.
However, it will be relieved to think about it. Most of the common people in this era don't have the family name or surname, which is something that only the nobles have. After they are born, they just point to the name of a thing. As for whether it refers to chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle, flowers and trees, it depends on fate. I think the nickname of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is also Bi 'er.
If parents don't want to refer to things, they will call them down in the same age order, such as Ji Ying. There are abundant areas in Chu, and Liu Ji, the undeserving youngest son of Grandpa Liu's family, is almost 30 years old and hasn't married a wife yet, so he idles around all day ...
In addition, you may also be named after the occasion, such as Heifu, because you were born a black and fat boy. His younger brother was surprised, because his mother was pregnant in October and gave birth to him when the delivery period was approaching, hence his name.
Therefore, the two brothers are particularly envious of the eldest brother's longing. The name "longing" is that parents specially invited the fortune teller of this era, "Japanese", to come home and read the almanac "Japanese Book" of this era. It is very formal and decent ...
After that, Bi and Mu also helped to introduce the other five people in the house.
"This is Xiao Tao, a native of Yunmeng." Xiao Tao is a short young man, the same age as Heifu. He is very shy, sitting in the corner of the room, and he is silent.
"This is flat, OK, and impossible. They are all people near the county seat."
Ping, who is in his twenties, is really plain. Like most common people in this era, his eyes are blank and his eyes are dull. There is nothing impressive about him.
But "Ke" and "Can't" are two brothers. The names together are also funny, but Ke has pockmarks all over her face, and Bu Ke has a pair of cross-eyes, and he is also silent with his mouth pressed. It stands to reason that brothers and sisters will not be recruited together, but they are all separated as adults and do not belong to "cohabitants", so they are recruited together.
Generally speaking, these people are all about the same age as Heifu, and have served once or twice at most.
"This is Chao Bo and a native of Yunmeng."
In the end, I was introduced to the closest one, who is older, looks full of thirty-seven or eight, and has a long goatee beard. I wonder if his "uncle" is because his brother ranks first in the family, or because he is older, he gets his honorific title?
Chao Bo was like a higher-ranking person in this group. He didn't get up and give up like the others. He just sat leisurely on the couch, nodded his head, and pointed to Heifu. "Where are you from, epigenetic?"
Heifu had been silently remembering everyone's names just now, but at the moment he handed them, "I'm from Yunmeng Township …"
"It turned out to be a fellow villager." Chao Bo laughed and showed his yellow teeth.
"Seeing that you are young, come to serve for the first time. It's just as well. I will take care of you more in the future ... What's your name?"
"Heifu." Black smiled and responded softly.
"What! ?” As soon as this statement came out, the room was shocked. Chao Bo, who was sitting cross-legged because of his age, rose to his feet and looked at Heifu in surprise, saying, "You are Heifu!"
"The black man who fought against the three thieves?" Bi and Mu also looked at him in surprise.
Has my reputation spread here? Black was a little surprised and had to nod his head.
"Today, half of Anlu County is talking about your deeds. We were just talking about you." Come and talk to the two brothers, and their words are full of compliments.
"You ... you ... you can really, empty-handed, take a white blade?" Xiao Tao, who has been taciturn, also spoke. It turned out that he was a stammer, just looking at Heifu's eyes, full of admiration.
Ji Ying was so proud that he raised his head again and said, "Of course, Brother Heifu is skilled. It was I who helped Heifu catch the thief, and he was honored as male scholar!"
"It's really amazing." Ping, who lives in the county seat, also cast envious eyes. He cares about the title of Heifu.
"It's nothing." Heifu is still very modest, waving his hand and saying, "Please sit down and talk. Everyone will be in robes in the future. Heifu is serving for the first time, so please take care of him."
They just looked at each other and sat down again, but it was only a short sentence or two. Heifu had already judged their attitude towards themselves.
They are normal curiosity; He is a little afraid, maybe he is afraid that the black husband is a brave man who will bully them; Envy Heifu's title; Xiao Tao is the young people's worship of the brave. Perhaps the courage of Heifu to fight against three thieves is what he longs for ...
As for the Chao Bo? He looks like an old greaseball, but I can't figure out his plan for the time being.
At the moment, Heifu discovered that there are ten straw mats in the room, and only two of them are still empty, which is probably the place for Heifu and Jiying ...
In this case, there is one person missing in the room.
"Where did another person go?" Ji Ying found it, too. He casually sat on Bi's bedside and asked with his mouth open.
"That male scholar has gone to hùn Xuan." I said carefully, as if I was afraid of that man.
"So, there are two male scholar in this room."
Heifu took the last light before dark, looked at the costumes of all the people in the room, and found that the rest of them were the best men, but they just didn't know what kind of person the other male scholar was, and whether he was easy to get along with.
Just then, the wooden door outside was kicked open!
The cold wind blew in with rain, and then a loud voice sounded:
"It's really unlucky. Naigong just went to pull an arrow, but it was raining!"
