Reincarnation of the whole people: I am a hundred times more talented than I am in other worlds

Chapter 2 The Destined Time
  In the year 4223 of the Daqian calendar, Sujia Village, Fengcheng County, Chizhou.

In a farmer's house made of rammed earth, there lay a pregnant woman with a swollen belly and a pale face. Several elderly mothers-in-law were surrounding her, holding linen cloths and carefully wiping the cold sweat from the woman's face.

Outside the door, a man in his thirties was sweating profusely and scurrying around the yard like a headless fly.

A long time has passed, but there has been no movement in the delivery room, which is not good news for him.

Since ancient times, giving birth to a pregnant woman has been like a journey through the gates of hell. A slight setback will result in one death and two lives.

However, the saddest thing is that with the current situation of their family, if something unexpected happens, he can't even afford a doctor...

Just as the man was anxiously circling the threshold, finally, a burst of cheers erupted in the room. The midwife quickly came out. When she saw the man, she immediately smiled and said, "Your Li family has cultivated blessings." , mother and child are safe!”

When he heard 'Mother and child are safe', the man was visibly relieved, and his whole body softened like noodles.

Peace is good, peace is good!
  Not long after, another midwife came out with a slightly bigger baby in her arms: "Look, this is your son. Have you thought of a name? Give it a name quickly. Now that the baby has a name, God can’t take it away!”

name?

The man looked at the infant child who was neither crying nor fussing but looking around with curiosity on his face. After being stunned for a long time, he said in a daze: "Since mother and child are safe, let's call them Ping An, Li Ping'an. How about that?"

The midwife sneered: "Okay, you are indeed a well-educated kid, and you can be so educated with a name. Remember, you can't wash and comb during confinement. Get more delicious food to feed your wife." repair!"

The man didn't answer, just smiled bitterly.

The midwife quickly came to her senses and without saying anything else, she handed the baby to the man and sighed before turning around and leaving. The man quickly took out two warm steamed buns from his arms and stuffed them into the midwife's hands. , it’s time to celebrate.

……

In this way, Li Pingan was born.

In addition to him, there is a six-year-old brother and a five-year-old sister in the family.

The newly born child neither cried nor fussed. Apart from quietly drinking milk, he spent most of the time looking around curiously. Even the midwife who had seen many children was amazed by this and called this child so handsome. , the alertness is different from ordinary people.

Both parents obviously liked his little son very much.

Especially his cheap dad who often hugs him for most of the day.

However, this rough man had a strange smell from his daily work. Li Ping'an didn't like being held by him, so he cried every time he saw the cheap daddy.

However, the land has suffered frequent disasters in recent years, and the county has increased taxes.

The family still needs grass roots and tree bark for daily meals, and it is completely unaffordable to have an extra mouth.

Li Ping'an stopped breastfeeding at six months. After that, he could only survive on a little cooked millet porridge.

It's not that he doesn't want to drink milk, but that he can't stop breastfeeding even if he doesn't want to. The cheap mother doesn't have any milk for him to drink...

It's so miserable! It's so miserable!

Being weaned early and unable to get enough nutrients made Li Ping'an weak, and his development was also very slow. When he was one year old, he could not stand up and walk upright, so he could only lie in bed and look at the sky speechlessly.

Originally, Li Ping'an planned to find a way to let his cheap parents keep him after he was able to act, and thereby change his fate of being eaten by wild dogs.

Now it seems that changing one's destiny against the will of God is not that simple!
  At the end of the year, the family's food reserves have become increasingly scarce, and the time that Cheap's parents stay at home has become shorter and shorter. They often go out before dawn and come back after dark, but even so, there is no way to feed this family. A family.

In September, the government came to collect taxes, and the parents had no choice but to take out part of the grain sown in the spring to pay the taxes. However, the county man Qingtian counted Li Ping'an's eldest brother, who was not yet a minor, as an adult and demanded that the parents pay more money. Hand over a share of grain.

But the Li family has already done everything, so how can they hand over another piece of food?
  The cheap daddy who refused to pay the grain was beaten to pieces. That night, a subordinate took a document to notify the cheap daddy to go to Chizhou to do corvée at the end of the month.    Suddenly, the sky collapsed in the Li family.

In this era, doing corvee work was a fatal job. Not only did you need to bring your own food, but you also didn't get any reward... Besides, winter was coming soon, and doing corvee work in the cold weather was tantamount to death!

That night, Cheap Mom was sobbing while wiping Cheap Dad's back, which was torn and bruised by the whip.

The cheap daddy didn't say a word, and he didn't know what he was thinking as he lay on the bed.

Li Ping'an was lying on the rocking chair made of bamboo strips at the head of the bed and fell silent watching this scene.

Living in such an era is really breathless.

It's a pity that he is too weak now and can't even move a stool, so he can't help his parents survive this disaster.

……

That night, when Li Ping'an was sleeping in a daze, he suddenly felt something moving. When he opened his eyes, he saw his parents looking at him and crying silently, their dark faces under the bright full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival. It seemed extremely painful.

The two of them chatted for a while, then put a cotton-padded jacket on him, then picked him up and left the house overnight.

Li Pingan guessed what they were going to do, and his intuition told him that as long as he cried now, his cheap parents would definitely relent and let him stay.

But he couldn't cry.

If getting rid of him would make the family easier, then just throw him away.

The family is at the end of its rope. Even if his parents don't abandon him now, he will most likely starve to death in the end.

Being adopted by others may still have a chance of survival.

After thinking everything through, Li Ping'an allowed the two of them to hold him and drive him for dozens of miles overnight, and finally sent him outside a small and dilapidated Taoist temple.

Yes, this is...the fateful time!
  Cheap's parents placed him at the door of the Taoist temple and stared at him in the corner for half an hour. They reluctantly left until dawn. Li Ping'an just sat at the door of the Taoist temple and fell asleep, waiting for the couple to leave. open one's eyes.

He still said nothing.

After all, the predecessor caused the wild dogs to die because he cried at the door.

There was no way he could make the same mistake again.

Waited for another half an hour.

Finally, the sound of reading came from the Taoist temple.

Li Ping'an knew the time had come, so he gritted his teeth and burst into tears.

"Catch the golden crystal to solidify your life base, and the soul of the sun is to the east and the moon is to the west."

"I refined the elixir of longevity in the middle, and after taking it, I became equal to heaven and earth."

"Don't blame Yaochi for the lack of news, it's just a matter of fate..."

Hearing his cry, the sound of reading in the Taoist temple became quiet, but Li Ping'an had no time to rejoice, because almost at the same time, several vicious dogs sprang out from nowhere at the corner of the street, staring at him eagerly. near!
