Chapter 3 Chapter 202 Tomb Raider

Cold wind, loess, dead trees. Old cars, lean horses, return to others. It was getting darker and colder.Back to Qufu from Mount Tai, Zhan Qin drove the car all the way, trying to get back to Qufu City before the city gate was closed. However, in winter, it gets dark early and the city gates close early. By the time Zhan Qin hurried to Qufu City, the city gate had already been closed. The cold wind from Siberia was blowing in gusts, and the birds felt a severe chill.Looking around outside the city, there is no place for people to stay, no ancient temples or old houses to escape the cold, and even the crop fields are bare.

Fortunately for Zhan Qin, his clothes were thick enough, and his car was a family car with a canopy, which is now called a caravan, not a chariot.However, even though I am a RV, there are air leaks from all sides, so if I just stay in the wild for one night, I will freeze to death or half to death.what to do?Zhan Qin suddenly remembered that there was a cemetery in the south of the city, which should be sheltered from the wind. To the cemetery?Are you afraid of meeting ghosts?Zhan Qin doesn't believe in ghosts at all. cemetery. There are no graves in the cemetery, and there were no graves in that era, and there were tombs but no graves.

Zhan Qin parked the car behind a small hill to take shelter from the wind, untied the horse, and tied it to a tree.Then I got into the car by myself, covered the seams around as much as possible, wrapped up my clothes, and sat in the car waiting for dawn.Although it was still cold, it was much better. In the wilderness, the north wind made a shrill sound, which was extremely desperate at night. Suddenly, Zhan Qin seemed to hear the sound of crying from the shrill wind. "Ghost?" Zhan Qin asked himself.Although he does not believe in ghosts, he has heard a lot of ghost stories.If this is really crying, is it a ghost?Who but ghosts would cry in this place at this hour? "No, there are no ghosts at all."

Zhan Qin was very calm, he believed that it was not the sound of crying at all. However, when the wind weakened, the cry became clearer, the cry of a woman. "Female ghost?" Zhan Qin asked himself again.If there are no ghosts in the world, how can there be female ghosts?But if it wasn't a female ghost, who was crying? "Then I'll see what the female ghost looks like." Zhan Qin pulled the curtain of the car and jumped out of the car. Following the sound of crying, Zhan Qin walked over by the moonlight. Suddenly, Zhan Qin's eyes lit up. Everyone has a bright moment, just as everyone has a dark moment.

In front of Zhan Qin's eyes was a beautiful figure from the back.Not far away, in a shelter from the wind, a woman leaned against a tree and wept.A gust of north wind blew, wrapping the woman's clothes, showing off her figure, just like Angelina. "Girl, why are you here alone?" Zhan Qin approached and asked. The woman turned around, and Zhan Qin's eyes lit up again.I saw this woman was twenty-eight years old, and her face was like a peach blossom.Trembling, she looks even more charming; eyebrows are furrowed, which makes me feel pitiful. The beauty, the absolute beauty, is exactly what the saying goes: when you look at it from behind, you will be fascinated by thousands of troops, but when you look at it from the front, you will be amazed by millions of soldiers.

Where is this ghost?This is clearly Tomb Raider. "Ah, ghost." The girl responded to him with a scream, and she almost fainted from fright. "I'm not a ghost, I'm a human." "Human? Bad guy?" The girl was still very scared. When she met a man in the dark wilderness, even a good man might turn into a bad man, not to mention that she was a Tomb Raider. "I'm not a bad person, I'm Zhan Qin, Zhan whose surname is Zhan, who is not as good as a beast. Girl, why are you crying here?" "I, I came back with relatives, who knew that the gate of the city was closed. I, I was hiding in the cemetery in a black light, half frozen to death, shouldn't I cry?" The girl was shivering from the cold, and she couldn't even speak.

"You deserve it, you deserve it." Zhan Qin thought about it, and felt that the girl was right. "Help me, I'm going to freeze to death," said the girl, her lips turning purple from the cold. "Then, come with me." Zhan Qin decided to help the girl. The girl was shivering from the cold, and it was difficult for her to walk.Zhan Qin hurriedly supported her and walked all the way back to his car. "Girl, get in my car to avoid the wind." Zhan Qin held the girl's hand and helped her into his car. He felt that the girl's hand was almost frozen and shaking constantly.The girl sat on the seat, still shaking constantly, and could hardly sit still.

Zhan Qin hesitated for a moment, he understood that with this girl's current condition, even if she sat in the car, she would become a zombie in the ancient tomb when the morning dawned; and if he gave up the car, he might freeze to death.The only way to keep everyone from freezing to death is to keep each other warm. After thinking about this, Zhanqin got into the car himself, picked up the girl, sat down by himself, put the girl on his lap, and hugged the girl tightly in his arms. Zhan Qin couldn't feel the girl's body temperature, but only felt the chill from the girl's back.Legend has it that ghosts have no body temperature. Fortunately, Zhan Qin doesn't believe in ghosts, otherwise he must have taken the girl as a ghost.Zhan Qin hugged her waist tightly, not daring to let go.The girl obviously enjoyed it a bit, she could feel a warm heat coming from Zhan Qin's chest and reaching her heart.She put her hand on Zhan Qin's hand as a return to Zhan Qin, because in this way, Zhan Qin's hand would be warmer.

After a while, Zhan Qin's chest finally felt warm, and he knew that the girl had warmed up.His hands also felt warm, because the girl's hand was on the back of his hand. "I, my chest is still cold," the girl said.Her chest was indeed still cold. Zhan Qin moved his hand from the girl's waist to the girl's chest, he immediately felt different, it was soft and comfortable. Sitting in Zhan Qin's arms, the girl fell asleep, sleeping soundly, because she was too tired during the day. Zhan Qin couldn't fall asleep anyway.Whoever it is would be unable to sleep with a beautiful woman in his arms.

The girl's body temperature, the girl's soft body, the girl's body fragrance, and the girl's even breathing, all these things made Zhan Qin a little short of breath, ready to move. Saints are also human beings. The girl's face is rosy, right next to her mouth, at least, a kiss?Zhan Qin swallowed his saliva and held back. My own hand is on the girl's chest, rubbing it, touching it?Zhan Qin held back and swallowed. It is very difficult for a person not to be close to a woman, and it is even more difficult to be close to a woman without having evil thoughts, and it is even more difficult to restrain oneself from taking action when having evil thoughts.

Zhan Qin did it. Zhan Qin closed his eyes, forcing himself not to think about the things around him, but to imagine what his younger brother would be like when he arrived in Qi.Thinking of his younger brother, Zhan Qin felt a little heavy. He wondered how his younger brother was doing alone in a foreign country, whether he would be able to stand firm, and would he fight with others? Long nights, no heart to sleep. It was finally dawn, and the wind seemed to be a little less. The sound of opening the city gate came, and the dazed Zhan Qin opened his eyes. "Girl, it's dawn, let's go home." Zhan Qin removed his hand from the girl's chest and shook her shoulder. "Ah." The girl woke up from her sleep and found herself sitting in the arms of a man. She was startled and hurriedly jumped out of the car. The cold wind immediately woke the girl up, she suddenly remembered what happened last night, touched her clothes, but it was not untied, and then touched her waistband, it was still the same, she was sure that Zhan Qin had saved her He died and did not take the opportunity to eat his own tofu. "You, you saved my life?" the girl asked Zhan Qin. "That's right." Zhan Qin said, he is an honest man, and he doesn't know how to speak modest words. "I, how can I repay you?" the girl asked again.She was very moved. "There is no need to repay, and I have nothing to lose." Zhan Qin said.Still so honest. "I, the little girl has nothing to repay for saving my life, but to promise with her body." The girl was very moved, and she couldn't think of any better way to repay. "No, I already have a wife." "Then, it's fine to be a concubine." "I can't afford it, I really can't afford it." "Then, lovers are fine too, I'll dedicate myself to you right here." "No, it's cold here." "Then, you find a place, and I'll go with you." "No, I'm in a hurry to go home, aren't you in a hurry? You go quickly." "Then I'll go with you." "No, you go first, your mother must be worried about you. My legs are numb, I need to take it easy." The girl hesitated for a moment, but finally left. Zhanqin's legs were numb and he couldn't stand up. After sitting and beating for a while, he reluctantly got out of the cart, then harnessed the horse, and drove home. This passage is the famous story of "sit in the arms without chaos" in Chinese history, and the idiom "sit in the arms without chaos" also comes from here. Later, there is a saying: good things do not go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.However, there was no such saying in the Spring and Autumn Period. The story of Zhan Qin's unruffled behavior quickly spread throughout the city of Qufu. Some said good things and some said bad things. The good things were to praise Zhan Qin's character, and the bad things were to doubt whether Zhan Qin was impotent. Either way, Zhan Bird has unexpectedly received widespread critical acclaim.Finally, even the king Lu Huan heard about it. "Such an honest person can be used." Lu Huan said. As a result, Zhan Qin was hired as a civil servant in the second year. As for the position, according to the Zhan family's family history records, it was "Shi Lu Shen Mo Yi", which belonged to a relatively low-level civil servant. Not long after Zhan Qin became a civil servant, Duke Huan of Lu took his wife Wen Jiang to visit Qi State, but was killed by Duke Xiang of Qi. (See Chapter 23 of Part 1) After working for a year, Zhan Qin was responsible and meticulous in his work, so he was promoted to be a judge, with the rank of senior doctor.What does a judge do?It is equivalent to the vice president of the Supreme Court, who presides over lawsuits at the level of scholars.Who is the dean?Si Kou, that is Qing. The State of Lu is a country that emphasizes Zhou etiquette, but at the same time, it is a country of personal affection, and people are kind to each other. When it comes to punishments, relationships and face are always taken care of, and everyone is used to it.However, Zhan Qin is an honest man, he can do whatever he wants, and he has no face to talk about.But all trials are done according to the law, and such things as asking for a relationship through the door are not easy to do in front of him.Therefore, after working for a year, I offended many people. Finally, a case was concluded and Zhan Qin was dismissed from get out of class.What case? According to the criminal law of the State of Lu at that time, the criminal law for the crime of theft was as follows: whoever steals between 1 and 20 renminbi shall be fined 100; Those who have between one and two hundred coins will be fined as white disciples. What is white disciples?It is an official slave, that is, fixed-term imprisonment and reform through labor; if you steal two hundred and one yuan to one thousand yuan, if you are sorry, you will have to shave your head and serve a longer fixed-term imprisonment. The term is called "completeness is advocated". A man named Zuoding stole a bucket of rice, worth three qian, and was captured and sent to Zhanqin. According to the law, stealing three coins should result in a fine of one hundred and immediate release.Therefore, Zordin thought he was unlucky, but he was not too afraid. "I pronounce the sentence, Zuo Ding, it's all for the sake of it." Zhan Qin sentenced that Zuo Ding should be shaved bald and made an official slave. "What, what?" Zuo Ding was dumbfounded when he heard it, and Zhan Qin Gong avenged his personal revenge?But I have no personal enmity with Zhan Qin.Moreover, I didn't hear that the State of Lu was taking things seriously. How could Zhan Qin punish himself so severely? "I don't agree!" "Don't accept? If you don't accept it, you appeal." Zhan Qin gave him a chance. Although Zuo Ding is a gentleman, he still has some relatives with energy, so he asked his relatives to intercede with Zhan Qin, but Zhan Qin ignored him. "You sentenced me severely for no reason, and I will go to the king to reason." Zuo Ding felt that he was too wronged, so he asked his relatives to appeal to Lu Zhuanggong. After Lu Zhuanggong heard about this, he also felt that Zhan Qin was going too far, so he asked Zhan Qin about the case. "Uncle, is the sentence severe? He stole three coins." Lu Zhuanggong said.In terms of seniority, Zhan Qin is his uncle. "My lord, I only stole three coins." Zhan Qin paused, and then began to explain: "But, it's not that kind of thing." "What do you mean?" Lu Zhuanggong was a little confused. "When the official first arrested Ding, he was crowned with a crown, and the minister's case was given a certificate of merit. The department can govern rituals and wear Confucianism." Zhan Qin began to explain, saying that when Zuo Ding was just arrested, he was wearing a crown. Not everyone can wear a hat. This kind of hat belongs to the nature of a certificate issued by the government and represents status.Zhan Qin took off his hat and looked at it. There was also a type of certificate written on the hat, that is, "Rules and Confucianism", which means that this person can be a minister of etiquette, which is equivalent to a professor of etiquette or a lawyer. "My lord, this person not only understands the law, but also has a legal identity. He usually uses the law to teach others, but he himself knows the law and breaks the law. According to the criminal law, this kind of crime should be two white disciples, and the two crimes should be punished together, so it must be done completely. " "Hey, that's right." Lu Zhuanggong thought it was reasonable. That's how Zhan Qin sentenced Zuo Ding. However, Zuo Ding was not given for free. In the country of Lu, people of Zuo Ding's status had a circle, and this circle was very active.For Zuodin's sentencing, the reaction of the whole circle was very strong. The reason is very simple. If this case is established, everyone who commits crimes in the future will know the law and break the law, and the crime will be aggravated. what to do?Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. They started activities, lobbied everywhere, and said bad things about Zhan Qin. And Zhan Qin is an honest person, the kind who never tells lies, and the kind who never seeks relationships to show loyalty.So, the result can be imagined. After more and more people spoke ill of Zhan Qin, Lu Zhuanggong finally decided to fire Zhan Qin. In this way, after Zhan Qin served as a judge for a year, he went home to farm. After working as a civil servant for only two years, Zhan Qin was dismissed from get out of class. Zhan Qin was not depressed, on the contrary, he was quite happy, why?Because my wife is about to give birth. Three months after being fired, Zhanqin's eldest son was born. "Who says people are impotent?" By this time, everyone remembered Zhan Qin's unruly deeds. Zhan Qin farms with peace of mind, and on the other hand studies knowledge at home. Five years later, when Zhan Qin was thirty-four years old, Duke Zhuang of Lu decided to appoint him as a judge again. With the lessons from last time, Zhan Qin should learn to be more flexible this time, right? No, Zhan Qin is still the same, there is no humaneness to speak of in everything. After three months in office, Zhan Qin offended a large group of people again.After barely working for two years, Zhan Qin received the notice of dismissal again. However, the reason for his dismissal this time is largely because of his brother Zhanxiong. Where is Zhanxiong now?How could he implicate his brother? When Zhanxiong came to Qi State from Lu State, Qi Xianggong was the king of Qi State. Qi Xianggong did not like recruiting talents like his father Qi Xigong, so the life of Beipiao people was not easy at this time. Zhanxiong is a straightforward person with a forthright personality and easy to make friends, so he quickly made many friends in Qi State, and then asked his acquaintances to find a way out, hoping to find a position in Qi State.But, it's not easy. In the blink of an eye, after two years, seeing that there is no future in Qi, what should I do?At this time, I heard that my elder brother had become a judge in the state of Lu.If it were someone else, he could go back to the country of Lu to join his elder brother at this time, relying on his elder brother's face to get a half-time job.But Zhanxiong didn't even think about it, firstly, his brother would never open this back door for himself, and secondly, with his personality like his, he wouldn't last long. Therefore, Zhanxiong made up his mind that even if he died in Qi, he would never return to Lu. "Brother, how about we start a business together?" A buddy from Bei Piao, whom he met in the talent market, came to Zhanxiong to do business together. Who is it?Guan Zhong. "Ouch, Brother Zhong." Zhanxiong was a little surprised. In the entire talent market, the smartest person was Guan Zhong. If Guan Zhong took the initiative to invite him to do business, he definitely looked down on him. "I want to do business too, but I don't have capital if I want capital, and I don't have business acumen if I want business, so I'm not qualified to partner with you." "Brother, you can't say that. If you don't have two brushes, who would dare to come to Zizi? Everyone has their strengths, and the key is to make use of their strengths. Look at you, you have a bold personality and high martial arts skills. Good people are afraid of three times when they see you." You don’t dare to offend bad guys when you see them. This is capital. So, I have already negotiated with Bao Shuya. He pays the capital, and I provide brains. What do you think?" "That's good." Of course Zhanxiong was happy because he didn't need to pay any capital or ideas. According to the division of labor, Bao Shuya paid the capital, and Guan Zhong was responsible for commercial information and supply organization, transporting salt from Qi to Lu, Zheng, Song and other countries, and then organizing the supply of goods from these countries to Qi.Zhanxiong is responsible for transportation and security work, contacting the convoy to ensure the safety of the goods. In the blink of an eye, in the second year, the first batch of salt was organized, and the destination was Song State. Everything was ready, Guan Zhong and Zhan Xiong led the team and set off. Before leaving, there was news from the State of Lu that Zhan Qin was dismissed from get out of class. "Oh, I knew it was the result." Zhanxiong sighed. All the way went smoothly, this day came to the foot of Mount Tai, passed Mount Tai, was the State of Lu, passed through the State of Lu, and arrived at the State of Song.Zhanxiong was a little excited, this would be his first time returning to his motherland.However, it seems that there is no time to visit my brother. "Stop." Just when Zhanxiong was full of thoughts, he came out of his thoughts with a loud shout, and took a closer look, and saw more than a dozen big men jumping out from both sides of the road, stopping in front of the convoy, and the leader shouted: "I opened this road, and I planted this tree. If you want to pass by from now on, leave money to buy roads." Robber, met robber. "Brother, it's up to you now." Guan Zhong said to Zhan Xiong.When encountering robbers, Guan Zhong would shrink back as usual. "Look at me." Zhanxiong said.This is of course his business, money is not so easy to earn. Zhanxiong's chariot came to the front, then turned around and said to everyone: "There is nothing to say to the robbers. We have only one way now, which is to rush over. I will open the way ahead, and everyone will follow closely." After finishing speaking, Zhanxiong's chariot was in front, and the rest of the vehicles followed and rushed over. Naturally, the robbers would not let them pass, they brandished knives and sticks to block the road, Zhanxiong used a big halberd, and stabbed the two robbers on the spot, the robbers were startled, and hurriedly backed away, Zhanxiong's chariot rushed past, and the rest Vehicles swarmed past. Only one car was pulled up behind, whose car?Guan Zhong's. Guan Zhong always liked to stay at the end, but this time, being at the end became the target of the robbers.Guan Zhong was surrounded by bandits and seemed unable to resist. "Oh, I never thought that Guan Zhong, a great talent in governing the country, would die at the hands of a gang of thieves." Guan Zhong sighed, ready to be killed. At this moment, only a loud shout was heard, and Zhanxiong came back after killing him. Due to the narrow road, it was inconvenient for the chariot to turn around, so Zhanxiong jumped off the chariot and ran over. As soon as Zhanxiong arrived, the robbers knew that they had encountered a formidable enemy, so they left Guan Zhong and came to besiege Zhanxiong. "Brother Zhong, hurry up, I'll be the queen." Zhanxiong shouted loudly. In fact, without Zhan Xiong shouting, Guan Zhong's warrior had already escaped from the encirclement by driving his car.Seeing that he had escaped far enough, Guan Zhong felt relieved, and shouted to Zhan Xiong: "Brother, we will wait for you in front." "Don't wait for me, you go, the farther the better, I'll just chase you." Zhanxiong shouted loudly while fighting. Guan Zhong originally wanted to wait, but when he saw dozens of robbers coming down from the mountain, he immediately made a decision; run quickly. Soon, more than a hundred robbers surrounded Zhanxiong.
