SFS Chapter 220 Shen Dahu
Chapter 220 Shen Dahu
The next morning, exactly what the father and daughter had expected happened.
When everyone heard that they were abandoned, they all packed up their things dejectedly without saying a word. Their little expressions were heartbreaking to see.
The atmosphere was too depressing. Shen Youyou winked at his father, implying: Dad, it's up to you, start the big lie mode!
Shen Zhiqiu smiled and cleared his throat: "Come, let me tell you a story before we leave.
This story can be summarized in one sentence: Today you bend your knees as if you have no bones, but tomorrow you will be a mighty man.
Han Xin, also known by his courtesy name Chongyan, was from Huaiyin. He grew up in a poor family and once became a beggar.
He was ridiculed and bullied on the streets and was even forced to crawl under a butcher's crotch.
It was this experience that tempered his will and made him determined to change his destiny.
After that, he practiced sword skills hard and read military books diligently...With the demise of the Qin Dynasty, the Chu-Han Contention began.
Han Xin ushered in a turning point in his destiny. Opportunities always come to those who are prepared.
He joined the army of King Han, and with his outstanding military talent, he quickly stood out. He was highly valued by the king and was appointed to the rank of general.
He also used what he had learned to achieve remarkable success and create many classic battles.
Battle to Defeat Qi: Han Xin defeated a larger force with a smaller one and successfully captured Qi, thus striking a blow to Xiang Yu's forces and laying the foundation for the victory of the King of Han.
Conquering Wei: Han Xin took advantage of the civil strife in Wei and quickly dispatched troops to capture the capital of Wei, further expanding the Han army's sphere of influence.
Crossing the Chasm: Han Xin uses the terrain flexibly in battle, choosing the best time and place to attack, and successfully luring the enemy into a trap.
Later generations praised him as a peerless national hero!
Shen Youyou was happy, seeing that his father was just missing a wake-up stick in his hand, and his lips were chattering. Not to mention that all of them were now holding their heads high and their fighting spirit was rekindled.
Even the innkeeper and the waiter were clapping and saying, "Good."
It seemed that Shen Zhiqiu had no intention of giving up. He slammed his chest twice and looked around at everyone with a determined look.
"Today I will teach you a lesson: a blacksmith must be strong himself. As long as we work hard and persevere, who says we can't change our destiny?
Who says we will always be peasants? Who says we will always be despised by others?
Just like when we were fleeing from famine, even though the road was rough, didn’t we still make it through?
Even though you are looked down upon and have nothing now, I want you to remember that as long as you are alive, everything is possible.
As long as you dare to take risks and fight hard, there will be a smooth road ahead!
What's wrong with walking alone? Tell me loudly, what's wrong with walking alone? "
Oh my! This made a group of people's blood boil!
Especially those young boys in Shenjia Village, who are at the age where everyone is second to them, how can they withstand such stimulation?
Erhu, this fool, threw the bag in his hand to the ground, his eyes red, "Son-in-law is right, we can find a smooth road on our own."
Gao Erzhuang followed up: "That's right, who said we are destined to be poor all our lives? We will always be despised by others?"
Dabao also stretched his neck and shouted out the words that Shen Youyou had said to encourage everyone on the way out of the famine: "The road is long but also brilliant. Just keep searching and don't give up, and you will eventually reach the other side."
As a result, everyone got excited and shouted together: "The road is long but also brilliant. Just keep searching and don't give up, and you will eventually reach the other side."
Shen Zhiqiu nodded in satisfaction. He was also excited by fooling others. He felt the blood rushing to his head. He raised his feet and stood on the stool:
"We are all good guys from Shenjia Village. Things may change over time. In the future, we will use our actions to tell those people not to look down on the poor young people."
"Right! Don't look down on the young and the poor!"
For a moment, the sound was so loud that the innkeeper felt that it almost blew off the roof of the inn.
Shen Youyou and Li Jingshu looked at each other: Too good at fooling people, they almost sang loudly: Get up! People who don't want to be slaves~
In fact, Shen Zhiqiu feels that the most inspirational person should be the typical legend of "counterattack in life": Zhu Yuanzhang.
This "grassroots emperor" started with a bowl, first became a beggar, then a monk, and finally an emperor. He used his life to truly interpret what it means: there is no special breed of generals or ministers, and men should strive to be self-reliant!
But this example cannot be given randomly, because if others hear it, they will think that he has rebellious intentions and arrest him as a traitor.
Otherwise they are father and daughter!
When Shen Youyou was watching her father's speech, the scene that flashed in her mind was actually from the TV series "The Dye House".
On a cold winter night, with heavy snow, Chen Shouting, wearing only thin clothes, ran hard in the snow, shouting:
"Don't blame your father or mother. Liu Bang was a street watcher and Zhu Yuanzhang was a beggar. They were not much better than me."
She was afraid that her father would slip up and utter one of Chen Shouting’s classic lines: ....The throne has been passed down to our family, today it’s our turn!
At the entrance of the post station, the waiter pulled the ox cart from the backyard over.
Manager Jia was also excited when he heard what Shen Zhiqiu said before. It was so inspiring.
The hand that was pulling Shen Zhiqiu's sleeve was still trembling:
"Mr. Shen, this carriage was given to you by an old man named Meng last night. I also have a letter he left behind."
Shen Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment before taking the letter. It actually only contained two short sentences: "Young man, I am waiting for you in An County, Shuntian Prefecture. We will meet again!"
His heart warmed: the old man was afraid that he was too polite, so he secretly left the ox cart and left, and also left a letter saying that he might be assigned to An County, hinting to him: I'm waiting to see you send me some cattle.
Although it is estimated that I will be assigned to An County, I don’t know which village it is, so there is no detailed address.
But Shen Zhiqiu looked at the ox cart with a firm gaze: "Don't worry, old man, I will come to find you after I settle down!"
At this moment, several young men came out of the post station, carrying bulging white cloth bundles in their hands and put them on the carriage.
Shen Zhiqiu was suspicious: What is this, shopkeeper?
Shopkeeper Jia blushed and said vaguely, "Well, it's not easy for you either. The post station is owned by the imperial court, so I have no say in the room fees. But I paid out of my own pocket to prepare some dry food for you. Eat well and travel quickly, and you can settle down soon."
Shen Zhiqiu bowed to Shopkeeper Jia solemnly and said, "Thank you so much."
Old Lady Hua at the side also interrupted and said to the shopkeeper: "There are not many good people here, but you are one of them."
Shopkeeper Jia was both angry and amused, and retorted: "How many of us have you met?"
But he felt happy that he was given the good guy card by Shen Xiucai's own mother. After watching Shen Zhiqiu and the others leave, he returned with the waiters, muttering to himself:
"It's OK. It's not a waste of my kindness!"
The waiter Ah Ming followed closely behind him, his eyes sparkling and his face full of energy: "Boss, this Mr. Shen is really a man of courage. If he were not a weak scholar but a swordsman, he would definitely be famous in the martial arts world..."
Emma! I really have read too many storybooks.
