Chapter 2 Gourd
After Meng Jia finished working in the kitchen, she moved a stool and sat next to Jiang Changsheng.

"Changsheng, are you really not going out to play? It's still early, you can go out to play for two hours, as long as you come back before 12 o'clock, I will stay at home."

In this era, on New Year's Eve in the village, men usually gather to play cards or bet, children play firecrackers in twos and threes together, and teenagers like to do bad things everywhere.

Last night Jiang Changsheng and a few bad friends went to the village cemetery to have a bonfire party.

A few half-children lit a fire in the grave, and then told horror stories, obviously terrified to death, but pretending to be brave.

It was originally planned to continue tonight.

The reason for this incident was that my friends watched the Hong Kong-style horror film "Ghosts Fighting Ghosts" starring Hong Jinbao in a small video hall. In the movie, the scene of a female ghost stretching out her blue and purple arms from the mirror is a favorite of many people. Childhood shadows.

Although Jiang Changsheng and the others were not considered children in their teens, they had at most watched some TV before, and had never watched movies at all, let alone ghost movies, so they were quite frightened.

The young people refused to admit defeat. In order to save face, everyone thought of going to the village cemetery to tell horror stories together to prove their courage.

People in the village are still very superstitious these days, and when the sky is dry and things are dry, there will occasionally be spontaneous combustion of phosphorus in the cemetery, which the villagers call "wild fire".

Think about it for a while, in the dead of night, a group of green or blue flames suddenly rose from the cemetery, and anyone who saw it was afraid.

Last night Jiang Changsheng took advantage of the phenomenon of will-o'-the-wisps and made up a story about the will-o'-the-wisps seducing people. Against the backdrop of the bonfire, several bad friends turned pale with fright.

Although yesterday everyone agreed to continue tonight, but up to now, a few friends haven't come to Jiang Changsheng, they are obviously discouraged.

"Sister Jia, Monkey and the others haven't come to see me yet, so I guess I've gone to play by myself. I'll chat with you at home tonight."

Hearing Jiang Changsheng's words, Meng Jia was taken aback and sighed.

"After a year, you are one year older. You are sensible and know how to chat with your sister."

Under the flickering candlelight, Meng Jia's already yellow hair looked a little messy, her cheeks were sunken, and her cheekbones were a little protruding. It could be seen that she was suffering from long-term malnutrition.

Jiang Changsheng couldn't help but said: "Sister Jia, I will turn 16 after the Chinese New Year, legally if I can have my own income, I can already be considered an adult.

You have taken care of me all these years, and I have delayed you. "

Hearing Jiang Changsheng's words, the smile on Meng Jia's face disappeared, and she said hastily: "Nonsense, how could you have such an idea, is it because someone in the village is chewing their tongues?"

"Changsheng, don't think about anything now, concentrate on your studies, you will get into a good university in the future, and you will be successful when you leave the countryside!

You must not be burdened in your heart, you know?I was only 11 years old when my mother left. If it wasn't for my second grandmother who helped me and took care of me, I don't know if I would have survived.

I'm taking care of you now, and I'm also repaying Second Grandma's kindness. All of this is the best arrangement. "

The second grandmother is Jiang Changsheng's grandmother.

Meng Jia's story is very vulgar. His father was an educated youth. When he went to the countryside, he fell in love with her mother, started a family, and gave birth to Meng Jia.

After the policy was liberalized, her father abandoned his wife and daughter and went back to the big city, so Meng Jia took her mother's surname Meng.

Meng Jia's mother is optimistic and strong. Although she raised her daughter alone and endured a lot of gossip, she lived a good life. Meng Jia lived happily when she was a child.

Reluctantly, her mother suffered from a "bad disease" and died when Meng Jia was 11 years old. With the medical conditions in the village at that time, the cause could not be found at all. The doctor only guessed that it was a genetic disease, because Meng Jia's grandparents had Died very early.

From then on, Meng Jia became an orphan. Jiang Changsheng's grandmother was kind-hearted and took the initiative to take care of Meng Jia and raised her. Although the two families were neighbors and did not live in the same house, their relationship was closer than relatives.

Seeing that Meng Jia was anxious, Jiang Changsheng quickly changed the subject.

"Good sister, I will definitely study hard, and I will make you happy to be the number one in the exam!"

Meng Jia immediately showed a smile on her face, her big eyes bent into crescent moons.

"That's right. You just need to study. I've saved all the money for you to go to college. Luckily, you've worked hard and passed the high school entrance examination to the county No. [-] middle school. It's considered a dream come true for me."

Perhaps because of the genes of the educated youth's father, Meng Jia's academic performance has been very good since childhood, but after the death of his mother, he had no money to study and was forced to drop out of school.

Jiang Changsheng knew about Meng Jia's situation, he smiled and comforted him: "Sister Jia, although you didn't go to middle school, you are more educated than me, and you have read more books than me."

Meng Jia's family has a lot of books, all of which were left by the educated youth's father. Meng Jia read these books since he was a child. In terms of culture alone, Jiang Changsheng, who has not awakened the memory of his previous life, is indeed not as good as Meng Jia.

Jiang Changsheng continued: "Sister Jia, you can actually be a writer. You can write something at home in your spare time. Weaving does not suit your temperament, and it is not a long-term solution."

Although Meng Jia grew up in the countryside, she has a poetic spirit in her belly. She has read a lot of books, and she has the dignified atmosphere of a poetic beauty.

She took a look at Jiang Changsheng, and felt that her younger brother seemed to have grown up overnight. His brows and eyes were still youthful, but his words were serious, with a mature charm.

In the past, in order not to distract Jiang Changsheng, Meng Jia would not discuss work with him, but tonight she was brought in unconsciously.

She sat up straight and said seriously: "Although I have read a lot of books, they are all for interest. I don't like being a writer."

Jiang Changsheng asked: "If you had a choice, what would you like to do in the future?"

"Me, I want to be a boss, you know, my favorite thing is to make money! When I was working in a weaving factory, I thought I would open a weaving factory in the future and recruit hundreds of workers to work for me. Work and help me make money."

Meng Jia was a little excited and spoke quickly, "When I earn money, I will find you a virtuous and beautiful wife for Changsheng, and let him give birth to a son and a daughter for you. The children can recognize me as a godmother. I will let them inherit my fortune."

Jiang Changsheng had a strange expression upon hearing this.

Meng Jia is beautiful and has a good temperament. Whether in the weaving factory or in the village, there are many suitors, but Meng Jia refuses them all.

Jiang Changsheng knew that the main reason was because of himself.

Over the years, when the villagers introduced men to Meng Jia, Meng Jia asked the man to accept Jiang Changsheng. This condition scared some people away. Even though some men accepted, Meng Jia was worried that Jiang Changsheng would be wronged, so in the end they all let it go.

Regarding this point, Jiang Changsheng is not in a hurry now.

From Jiang Changsheng's point of view, not to mention the village, even the entire county, there are no outstanding talents.

Meng Jia is only 23 years old. If she is going to university, she has just graduated for a year at this age, so there is no need to worry.

Jiang Changsheng believes that he has the ability to help Meng Jia realize her wish of becoming a boss. By then, her horizons will broaden, and it will not be too late to find a partner.

He interrupted Meng Jia: "Sister Jia, can't you get married and have children by yourself? If you really become a big boss, you might not find a handsome guy if you have money.

Don't stare at me. "

Jiang Changsheng's parents were divorced in two lifetimes, so he has a natural rejection of marriage.

Hearing this, Meng Jia glared at Jiang Changsheng, showing the majesty of being a sister.

"There are only two things in my life, one is to make a lot of money, and the other is to take care of you! As for finding a partner, that's impossible!"

Looking at Meng Jia's expression and tone, Jiang Changsheng understood that she was also hurt by the educated youth's father's abandonment of his wife and daughter, and that, like himself, he rejected marriage.

Jiang Changsheng decisively ended this topic, and he began to seduce Meng Jia.

"Textile factories belong to the labor-intensive secondary industry, which can make money, but to become a millionaire, the tertiary industry is the future, such as the Internet..."

"What is the Internet, do you know about computers? I don't know, then let me tell you in detail..."

"I borrowed from the development route of the US imperialists..."

"Where did I learn these things? I studied them in the school library, I know, academic performance comes first, and I don't read miscellaneous books..."

One night, Jiang Changsheng subtly revealed the future development trend to Meng Jia.

Although Meng Jia didn't quite believe it, she still had some vague impressions.

After 11:12, the electricity came. The two ate some lotus root pork rib soup and chatted for a while. At [-]:[-], they lit a string of firecrackers with a thousand rings, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.

Lying on the bed, Jiang Changsheng was still a little excited, tossing and turning, and didn't fall asleep until after 1 o'clock in the morning.

In his sleep, the life experience of his previous life flashed one scene after another. From being born, to his parents' divorce, to being admitted to university, to working in the deep city, Jiang Changsheng seemed to be watching a double-speed movie.

At the end of the movie, Jiang Changsheng grabbed a gourd in front of the street vendor. He saw that after he was hit by a car, his blood soaked into the gourd, and the gourd's body flashed a blue light.

The memory ends here.

But Jiang Changsheng had an extra gourd in his consciousness.

The color of this gourd was dull and light blue. There were several holes on the surface of the gourd and several cracks at the bottom. It was exactly the same as the one that Jiang Changsheng got from a vendor in his previous life.

The light on Gourd's body flickered, and there was an extra flow of information in Jiang Changsheng's head.

"Luck Gourd: It can absorb all sentient beings and condense the ideas of all beings into luck."

"Nine strategies for longevity, exercise strategy, martial arts strategy, Qi training strategy, mind concentration strategy, weapon refining strategy, medicine strategy, attack strategy, transformation strategy, fate strategy..."

After digesting the information, Jiang Changsheng immediately understood that he was extremely lucky to be the owner of the luck gourd. The moment he was hit by a car, the luck gourd activated the remaining luck in the gourd, allowing him to be reborn.

Afterwards, the Luck Gourd fell into a deep sleep, and did not restart until today, allowing Jiang Changsheng to restore the memory of his previous life.

After the Qi Luck Gourd recognizes its owner, it can collect the thoughts of all living beings condensed on the owner, and then transform it into Qi Luck.

According to the inheritance information, the way to unite the thoughts of all beings is religion and sacrifice. Now it is a society ruled by law, and cultivating xie religion is a dead end. Jiang Changsheng doesn't want to be shot, so for the time being, the luck gourd is useless.

As for the Nine Strategies of Longevity, they are self-cultivation methods in the Qi Luck Gourd. The origin is unknown. Jiang Changsheng took a look and found that most of them can't be used now.

Today's Blue Star is in the age of dharma, and there are no objective conditions for practicing qi to become immortals and martial arts to become gods, so you can try the exercise strategy, and you can also refer to the medical strategy about the acupuncture points of the human body.

Jiang Changsheng was thinking about it when he suddenly felt someone pushing him.

"Changsheng, Changsheng! Get up, you can't sleep late on the first day of the new year, get up and go to the village to pay New Year's greetings."
