Chapter 446 The Prostitute's Waiting (13)
Once a war begins, it will not end easily. The rebellious King of Qin in the south did not stop his steps. He continued to recruit troops to attack the Eastern Capital, but was repeatedly blocked outside the city. However, because he managed the army well and never robbed the people, the people did not have a bad impression of him. The Qi people in the north also took this opportunity to harass the border from time to time, causing trouble for the new emperor.
Facing internal and external troubles, the new emperor regretted letting Fu Jian go, so he kept sending people to Lai County to look for Fu Jian but could not find him.
At this time, Fu Jian was in a paradise, planting vegetables, weeding, and watering flowers every day, and he lived a very comfortable life.
He had fought for many years, suffered countless injuries, and took the blame for countless times for his superiors, before he climbed step by step from a cook to the position of general. However, even if he became a general, what would it matter? The emperor still had the power to decide life and death. On that day, if Liu Shiyi had not appeared in time and Wei Jian had not rescued him in time when Chen Bing attacked Lai County, he would have died on the spot. Now, he has helped the new emperor ascend the throne to fulfill the last wish of Emperor Rong, and repaid the kindness of Emperor Rong. The rest of his life should be his own.
But in his spare time, he would be a little unhappy. Because he always thinks of a woman named Liu Shiyi. And Liu Shiyi had died in the second prince's mansion a long time ago. He thought that failing to rescue Liu Shiyi's life in time should be his lifelong regret.
Wei Jian and Huo'er, who lived in Ju County, bought an ordinary house with the silver money they saved. Ju County is at the junction of Yizhou and Weizhou, but it is always not disturbed by the war. It is more like a easing zone. This is why they dare to stay.
In winter, Huo'er gave birth to a big fat son. Wei Jian was happy to send a letter to Fu Jian in Lai County. He even thought about making Fu Jian the godfather of his biological son. As soon as this idea of his emerged, Huo'er ruthlessly extinguished it. Huo'er's hatred for Fu Jian did not fade with the passage of time, but became stronger. Wei Jian agreed to her on the surface, but secretly sent someone to find Fu Jian, but the person came back and told him that there was no one he was looking for in Lai County. Wei Jian was puzzled. Where would Fu Jian go? It took him ten years to know the answer.
Fu Jian has been fascinated by fishing recently. Find a stream in the mountains, hang down the fishing rod, wait for a long time in the clear breeze and bright sun, let the thoughts wander, just waiting for the fish to bite, it is a different taste. This day, he came to the stream as usual with a fish basket and fishing rod, ready to find a cool place to start his fishing life.
"You are not allowed to fish here!" A yellow-haired boy jumped out of the bushes, threw a stone into the water, and stirred up layers of waves. He put on a very ill-fitting suit, and the sleeves were rolled up to his arms, revealing his dark skin, looking like a wild child.
"This is not your river, why don't you let me fish?" Since retiring to the mountains, Fu Jian basically did not communicate with strangers. This time he suddenly felt like talking. In order to show his determination, he even placed the fish basket and fishing rod on the stones.
Later, he was grateful to himself countless times for this moment, grateful for his sudden interest at this moment.
The child was angered by his action, and rushed over with gritted teeth, wanting to throw his fish basket and fishing rod into the water.
Fu Jian hugged him and joked, "Yellow-haired boy, don't make me unhappy, or I will beat you."
He didn't know that he looked more like a wild man than the child because he had not combed his hair or shaved his hair for a long time. What's more, he was frowning and deliberately making a fierce expression, which made him look more like a bad guy. The child was scared and cried, "Wow". Fu Jian quickly let him go and patted him on the back. "I was just joking with you, but you started crying. You are such a loser."
"You are such a loser. Your whole family is such a loser. This is where my teacher takes a bath. You are fishing here. It is obvious that you have ulterior motives." The child squatted down and began to wipe his tears. He rarely met strangers, and this was the first time he met such an unreasonable person of the same sex. He suddenly began to miss his teacher's gentleness. If he had known, he would not have been angry with her before. The teacher went out this time and no one knew when she would come back.
"Your teacher? Who is that person?" Fu Jian took out two red fruits from the fish basket and handed one to him.
"Why should I tell you?" The child was about to take it, but he took it back.
"If you don't tell me, there will be no more." Fu Jian put the fruit to his mouth and took a big bite. The rich juice exploded in the air, and the sweet smell made the child swallow his saliva unconsciously.
"I will tell you if you give it to me." He compromised. Anyway, the teacher never sees strangers. Even if this wild man knows that he has a teacher, he can't see her.
"Okay, here you go." Fu Jian was very satisfied with his attitude, but was a little surprised that the child was so easy to talk to.
"My teacher used to be a world-famous prostitute. My mother told me." The child didn't eat as boldly as Fu Jian. It was the first time for him to eat this kind of fruit, so he took a small bite with great care.
"Your mother?" Fu Jian's eyes moved. He obviously wanted to ask the child's teacher, but he was afraid that the child would think he had bad intentions, so he deliberately turned to the child's mother.
"Yes. My mother is the best doctor in this village. All the patients she treated were cured." Speaking of his mother, the child suddenly lowered his guard. In his heart, the teacher was very powerful. But the mother was the only person in the world who was more powerful than the teacher.
"Doctor?" Fu Jian felt that something in his mind became clear.
"Teacher, my mother and I rescued you together." The child was even more proud of his curiosity. However, his eyes that lingered on the covered fish basket from time to time revealed his true thoughts.
"Eat it. I'll give it all to you. Knowing each other is fate." Fu Jian smiled and pushed the fish basket to his side. The red fruits wrapped in broad leaves under the fish basket looked even more tempting.
"Give it all to me?" The child looked at him warily and shouted, "Are you a bad guy?"
"What do you think?" Fu Jian spread his hands to show his innocence.
The child looked him up and down several times and felt that although this uncle was dressed like a savage, he did not hurt him after several conversations with him. The heart that had just been lifted was stuffed back into his stomach.
"You don't look like a good person from the way you look." He still said stubbornly.
