In fact, Qin Shi Huang began to look for a way to live forever under the persuasion of countless scholars since the unification of the Six Kingdoms, and Xu Fu Dongdu was one of them, but this incident has not happened in terms of time.

And these six successive parades not only cost the people and money, but also made Qin Shi Huang more and more into the frenzy of praying for longevity and could not extricate himself, and the reason why he sought immortality, in the eyes of later generations, was that Qin Shi Huang began to lose the goal of life after sweeping the Liuhe Eight Wilderness to unify China.

So he began to build a straight road and even a plank road to connect the whole country, conquer Lingnan and Baiyue, everything is easy to achieve the goal under his words, so he feels more and more opponents, life is more and more goalless, although there are still Xiongnu in the bitter cold land of the northwest, but it is not suitable for the development of agricultural civilization, there is not much meaning to conquer, so in his eyes, it is better to build a Great Wall to block the road to the south of the Xiongnu.

But Qin Shi Huang certainly didn't know that at this time, there were many richer and more vast lands on the earth besides China, and there were many brilliant different civilizations, such as the Persian Empire, the Macedonian Kingdom, the Roman Empire, and the Mauryan Empire, which were close at hand, and these super empires were almost comparable to Great Qin.

In particular, Alexander's Empire, which was a hundred years earlier than the Great Qin Empire, was directly a super empire spanning three continents, Asia, Africa and Europe, and after Alexander the Great's eastward expedition to India, it was only a few hundred kilometers away from Kashgar, Xinjiang, and if he had a correct map at that time, he would definitely fight all the way from Afghanistan along the Hexi Corridor to China.

At that time, China was still in the late Warring States period, and it was the chaotic scene of the Seven Kingdoms vying for hegemony, and the Qin State was far less powerful than it is now.

In later generations, there were also Chinese and foreign netizens who speculated that if this situation happened, it would be Alexander the Great who included China in his imperial territory like sweeping Europe and Asia, or was beaten by the Seven Heroes of the Warring States to find teeth all over the ground and then came in vertically and lay out, and was even directly buried alive by countless Chinese killers.

Of course, the latter is more likely.

Because of the historical records, Alexander the Great only brought 50,000 soldiers to the east, although they were brave and good at fighting, but at that time it was the Qin State that guarded the northwest of China, after several generations of Qin kings made great efforts to govern and Shang Yang changed the law, it was the time when the national strength began to expand rapidly and the Qi State competed for the hegemony of China, and the soldiers who could be mobilized in the country reached hundreds of thousands, plus the Qin people were already martial and warlike, and the weapons of the Qin State, especially the appearance of the Qin Dynasty, made the Qin soldiers like a tiger, once the Qin State met the invading Alexander, A super-war between different civilizations will surely break out, and the civilizations of the East and the West will begin to merge thousands of years in advance.

Whether it was the defeat of Alexander the Great or the defeat of Qin, the consequence of the first intersection of Eastern and Western civilizations was that if Qin Shi Huang knew that there was another powerful empire or civilization outside of China, he would definitely not have the interest in building the Great Wall, and would not be in a hurry to find the elixir of immortality, but would have waved his army westward to find the Alexander's empire that had no map and found the wrong way.

I want to be an emperor through the ages, three emperors and five emperors, but since there is still heaven outside the sky, I don't mind being an emperor of the god Pangu, an emperor who truly conquers the world, and the title of emperor may not be enough to show his great achievements, and when the time comes, I can consider crowning the god emperor of the world.

But Chen Xu can also guess that if Qin Shi Huang fought in India and conquered the Mauryan Empire, he would find that the heavens and the earth were truly unfolding in front of his eyes, all the way to the west, there were the huge and rich Persian Empire in Central Asia and the Roman Empire in Europe, and then across the sea to the Kunlun Mountains (note: Kilimanjaro in Ethiopia, Africa) described in the ancient book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".

In that case, China will not be what it will be.

Under the leadership of the old Qin generals such as Wang Jian and Wang Ben, Meng Tian and Meng Yi, and under the stimulation of Qin Lu's military exploits, Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and other people who dug up the Great Qin Empire may also roll up their sleeves and shout to join the army to kill the enemy, and finally the entire earth car is the same track book and the same text.

Well, thousands of years later, the whole world speaks Chinese, and when you meet, you ask if you have eaten!

Chen Xu's thinking instantly diverged very much, and he was listless without a bite when he ate, which made Chen Jiang think that his son had broken his head and started to have hysteria again.

"Brother, eat quickly, the food is going to be cold!" Xing'er's voice called Chen Xu back from the conjecture of human beings all over the earth singing and dancing, playing lion dances, dragon lanterns, and speaking Chinese.

After a long time of confusion, Chen Xu slowly woke up.

The soybean and vegetable rice stuffed with the teeth, the fish soup with little salt and taste, the crumbling thatched hut and the three families in tattered clothes who are no different from those named Hanako, it seems that they should not think so far ahead.

Whether Qin Shi Huang dies or not, whether the Qin Dynasty dies or not, is not something to be concerned about at the moment.

At the moment, there are still those two things that need to be urgently needed, food and accommodation.

But after some cranky thinking just now, there was an idea that took root in Chen Xu's heart.

"Mother, is there anyone in the village who can do carpentry work? Or who has the tools of axes and saws? ”

At this time, Xing'er had already eaten and began to rub her little belly, Chen Jiang had already eaten it, and some of the remaining soybeans and wild vegetables and half a jar of fish soup were swept away by Chen Xu, and he wiped his mouth and asked after putting down the bowl.

"I know, Uncle Ma has an axe?" Apricot immediately shouted.

"Then I'll go over and see if I can borrow it!" Chen Xu stood up and walked out.

"Xu'er, what do you want to do?" Chen Jiang hurriedly asked.

"Mother, our house is about to collapse, and the roof is broken, I want to repair it while the weather is fine, otherwise I won't be able to sleep when it rains!" Chen Xu explained.

"Go early and come back early!"

Jiang Chen's admonishment, watching Chen Xu's figure disappear outside the courtyard, his eyes were slightly red, and it seemed that suddenly his son had really grown up and began to become a real man.

And this family must have a man to support it.

Before he had gone far, Chen Xu saw a middle-aged man hurrying towards him with excitement on his face, it was Ma Erbo.

"Xiao Xu~" Ma Erbo was overjoyed when he saw Chen Xu, and took Chen Xu's hand in a few steps and said, "Come with me to see, the second baby has woken up!" ”

"Erxi is awake!" Chen Xu was also overjoyed, and hurriedly followed Ma Erbo all the way to his house, and saw Erxi who had opened his eyes in the room.

Although he still looked very weak, his face was still a little gray, and his breathing was a little short, but his complexion looked much better, and the bloodshot and bleeding spots in his eyes had begun to dissipate.

Chen Xu gave Erxi a rough check, and then let out a long breath.

It seems that the treatment was timely at that time, and the use of licorice should have also played a certain detoxification effect, and Erxi's poisoning symptoms have obviously weakened, and he finally got rid of the threat of death completely.

In this era, if you accidentally eat something highly poisonous, you can still pick up a life, and you can't help but say that this little guy is really lucky.

"Second uncle, it seems that Erxi is really fine, continue to boil medicine for him to drink in the past few days, usually drink more light salt water, rice soup, egg whites to recuperate, it is estimated that it will be completely cured in two or three days!"

"Puff~"

The woman who had been standing next to her nervously knelt in front of Chen Xu excitedly, "Xiao Xu, my aunt kowtowed to you, thank you for saving the second baby's life!" ”。

"Auntie, what are you doing here? Get up! Chen Xu hurriedly pulled Erxi's mother up.

Erxi's wake-up made this family that also looked poor instantly full of happiness and laughter, a family of five gathered in the room and was very excited, Erxi Niang took out a small crockpot from the room, opened it and took out two handfuls of pale red fruit gardens and stuffed them in Chen Xu's hands.

"Xiao Xu, this is a little bit of food that my aunt made last year, bring some back to your mother and little sister!"

Chen Xu couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it.

In addition to Erxi's son, Ma Erbo also has a ten-year-old eldest son and a five-year-old daughter, who are all staring at the jar in his mother's arms at this time.

The second bride also divided two for each of her children.

"Mother~, I want to eat too!" Erxi, who was lying on the bed, shouted in a very weak voice.

Chen Xu's face turned black in an instant, Nima was still thinking about eating after eating like this, how greedy this should be.

If this continues, it is estimated that one day he will be poisoned!

And the two little guys holding the fruit garden have already rushed out of the door to show off to the children at this time, and at the same time, they will also publicize the fact that Erxi woke up.

Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, Uncle Ma's family of four and several nearby villagers rushed over one after another.

The village is not big, there are not many people, the old ones are basically dead due to the war every year, there is no old man over sixty years old, and there are not many young and middle-aged men, Ma Da Uncle Ma and the two brothers are lucky, when the Qin and Chu battles fled into the mountains and hid for a few months, they came back, and found that the Qin State had annexed the Chu State.

As for Chen Xu's father and Niu Dashi's father, both of them were arrested to serve as soldiers at the same time, and then they didn't come back, and the situation of other families in the village is similar, on the whole, there are many boys and girls, basically women and children, so boys over the age of ten have basically become the main labor force in the village.

Chen Xu came to treat Erxi in the morning for poisoning has already spread in the village, at this time I heard that Erxi woke up, naturally everyone can't help but care, in this era, it is not easy to raise a child well, in a few years after Erxi is naturalized at the age of fifteen, he will be able to marry his own son, and he will become the pillar of the family.

Almost the whole village came, both men and women, young and old, all showed respect for Chen Xu, and at the same time had a strong interest in the changes after he fell and woke up.

Half an hour later, Chen Xu left with Uncle Ma and borrowed an axe to go home
