Chapter 1 Day One
-
The autumn rain stopped before dawn, and the rooster crowed outside, and he slowly opened his eyes.

In the past few days, he has been immersed in great shock - he found that he has turned into another person, not only his appearance has changed, but also a strange memory has appeared in his mind.Until today, the shock has gradually turned into numbness, and he finally accepted this absurd reality-his soul went back to 600 years ago and merged with the body of a young man named Wang Xian!
"It's a blessing to be alive..." He sighed softly, thankful that he survived the catastrophe, thankful that he is an orphan without a wife and children, and it doesn't matter where he lives...

Thinking of this, he didn't feel dissatisfied with his body, which was as skinny as a stick, and couldn't even move his fingers.

He was thinking about how to face his 'own' family when he suddenly heard a door creaking outside, followed by an angry voice:
"This plague chicken doesn't crow until it's daylight! I'll stew you sooner or later!"

This voice came from a pungent woman, who was Wang Xian's old mother.After she finished training the chickens, she began to train the people again, "If a group of lazy creatures don't roll up, it will be dark if they sleep again!"

In the voice of his mother, Wang Xian's eldest brother, Wang Gui, hurriedly dressed and got up, wiped his face indiscriminately, and started cooking.

"Where's your wife?" The old lady was feeding the chickens with a dustpan, when she saw that her son was cooking, she immediately lowered her face.

"Cuilian..." Wang Gui has thick upper eyelids and thick lips, so he looks very honest.In front of the old lady, it was like a mouse meeting a cat, shrinking her neck when she heard the words: "I don't feel well today..."

"Fifteen days in a month..." The old woman snorted and cursed, "You're lying to ghosts!"

"Mother, I'm going to fetch water." Wang Gui smiled innocently, and picked up the pole standing in the corner.

"My man, it sounds awful, who did you learn from!" The old lady snorted again, and after feeding the chicken, she wiped her hands on her apron carelessly, with a wooden basin in one arm and a bucket in the other, and walked to the west wing. go.He still didn't forget to tell Lao Dao: "Sweep the courtyard before eating!"

"Yes." Wang Gui obediently replied.

.

Wang Xian lived in the West Wing. Although he was awake, he hadn't figured out how to deal with the family, especially the angry old lady, so he decided to close his eyes and pretend to be unconscious.

The door of the room was pushed open heavily, and an old woman with a green scarf on her head came in pattering in with a bucket and basin in her hand.In fact, this mother is very delicate, with a pair of black and white eyes, very energetic, and she doesn't look like a tigress when she doesn't have seizures.But when she had a seizure, those black and white eyes became cold and sharp!

A sharp mouth can even scold a living person to the point of death, and then come back to life.

After entering the room, she looked at her son first, and seeing that he was still closed and motionless, she habitually scolded: "You son of a bitch is still awake, I'm going to be dragged down to death by you!" Open the quilt, turn him over and scrub, massage and beat... and change his underwear.

Speaking of which, after lying in bed for so long, Wang Xian's body is still as clean as ever, without a single bed sore. This is a miracle in the hot and humid Jiangnan area.

Although it is autumn, it is still very difficult for a thin woman to flip a 16-year-old man.Halfway through the work, the old lady was already sweating profusely.She wiped her sweat and said depressingly: "People say marrying a man, marrying a man, dressing and eating, raising children, preventing disease and preventing old age. My old lady is good. I owe you the king's men in my previous life, and I will be your cow and horse!"

After finishing speaking, he continued to wipe his armpits. Wang Xian was ticklish, so he couldn't help shivering.

The old lady became excited immediately, and rushed to the head of the bed.Wang Xian wanted to pretend to be unconscious, but the old lady's big ear scraper had already been slapped... It was a real hit, and he couldn't help baring his teeth and cracking his mouth in pain.

"Wang Gui, Wang Gui!" Seeing the vivid expression on his face, the old lady screamed in surprise: "Come on!"

Wang Gui was sweeping the floor outside, and when he heard his mother calling, he threw his broom and rushed in, and asked blindfolded, "Mother, what's the matter?"

"Look at your brother, he's awake!" As the old lady spoke, she opened Wang Xian's eyelids, and saw his eyeballs rolling, and she couldn't pretend anymore, "What did Doctor Wu say? ?”

"Doctor Wu said..." Wang Gui scratched his head and thought for a while, "I forgot!"

"Hurry up and ask for a doctor!" The old lady couldn't bear to see his useless appearance the most, so she kicked the eldest son out.

Soon, Dr. Wu from the county medical department hurried over to see Wang Xian.Since Wang Xian had accepted his current identity, he took this opportunity to 'wake up'.

In fact, there is no need for a diagnosis, as long as you are not blind, you can see Wang Xian slowly opening his eyes.

The whole family was completely relieved.Younger sister Yinling jumped three feet high and danced around the bed laughing loudly. Wang Gui also wiped away tears. Even Wang Gui's wife was very happy and asked Dr. Wu, "Don't you need to spend money on medicine?"

Dr. Wu was drinking tea to quench his thirst, when he heard the words, he slapped Wang Gui in the face.

The old woman gave Wang Gui's daughter-in-law a hard look, and said to Dr. Wu, "She is asking when will she be able to be quick?"

"There's no rush," Dr. Wu said slowly, "He's too weak, I'll prescribe a nourishing prescription, take it for a month and see."

"Ah, I still have to take medicine!" Wang Gui's daughter-in-law was overjoyed, and complained loudly: "He has eaten up the house, so he still takes it!"

"Isn't it okay to raise it slowly?" In fact, the old lady is not willing to spend any more money. How can she still have money?

"Of course." Dr. Wu twisted his beard and said, "But he has been lying down for too long, and his body is in a great deficit. If he doesn't recover quickly, he may recover in the future, and he will be a sick child."

"Then just give him tonic?" the old lady asked again.

"You don't need to make up for it. If you make up for him now, you will kill him." Dr. Wu shook his head and said with compassion: "Sisters and sisters, Wang Xian is so young, we can't let him fall to the root of his illness!"

"En." The old woman's complexion changed for a while, and finally she nodded fiercely and said: "Sir, let's prescribe!"

So Wang Gui rubbed the ink, Dr. Wu spread out the paper, and the pen and dragon drew out a prescription. After drying the ink, he handed it to Wang Gui and said, "Go get the medicine, eat it early!"

"Yeah." Wang Gui responded, carefully took Fang Zi over, and glanced at his old lady again.

"Send the husband back, and grab the medicine along the way." The old lady sighed, "You tell Yuanwai Lu, first record the account, and settle it together at the end of the month."

"Mother, the pharmacy has already said that they won't give it to us..." Seeing his younger sister packing up the medicine box for Dr. Wu, Wang Gui whispered to his mother: "People say you are not trustworthy, and you have been talking about it for three months." I haven't seen a single penny..."

"How do you know if you don't go pestering?" The old lady untied a gold bracelet from her wrist angrily, patted it in his hand and said, "Put this on there, grab the medicine first!"

"Hmm." Wang Gui heaved a sigh of relief.

Dr. Wu had already packed up, and had been drinking tea leisurely, and only got up to leave after the couple had finished talking.

"Wang Gui, go see off Mr.." The old woman took out another string of money from her waist, about twenty cash, and handed it to her son.

Seeing this, Dr. Wu smiled and said, "The sun came out from the west today, and I saw my brother and sister's money."

"I've troubled you so many times, but I've finally taken a fancy to Xiaoer." The old lady said boldly. "This time, the consultation fee has been settled together."

Dr. Wu stepped out, almost fell, turned back and smiled wryly, "Cooperate with me for one visit, is it worth a penny?" He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'm a good person, I'm a good person to the end, free consultation!"

"Thank you so much, sir." The old lady took the money back from her son without giving in, and said, "When my family becomes prosperous, I will also seal two packets of snowflake silver for my husband."

"You don't dare to take it if you dare to give it to me." Mr. Wu shook his head and laughed and went out, Wang Gui hurriedly sent it out.

.

After Wang Gui sent Mr. Wu away, the old woman glanced at her daughter-in-law and said, "Are you feeling better?"

Wang Gui's daughter-in-law blushed, and said embarrassingly: "It's not good, I have to go back and lie down when I come to see." Then she went back to the house in despair.

The old lady snorted, and turned her eyes to her son again, feeling happy and furious in her heart.Glad to understand.The reason for the anger is that her son came out of the gambling house and was injured.The county did not solve the case, and finally it could only be settled as 'retaliation for gambling dispute'.So in my mother's heart, this son was beaten because of gambling!
For this idle and gambling son, my mother has long since despaired.Thinking that he would inevitably revert to his old ways in the future and make the family worse, the old lady became very angry.If Wang Xian hadn't just woken up, a scolding would have been inevitable.

"I'll settle the score with you in the future!" The old woman looked at her son again and again, and finally took a hard look, then left Yinling to look after him, and went back to work by herself.Perhaps it was exhaustion after excitement, her footsteps were a little vain, and when she reached the door, she tripped over the threshold.The old lady kicked the threshold and said angrily, "Saw it off sooner or later to burn firewood!"

After the old lady left, the younger sister Yinling mixed some hot water with the millet porridge made in the morning, and fed it to Wang Xian.Yinling's personality is very similar to that of an old lady, but after all, she is young and not aggressive, just lively.While sipping porridge, she twittered, telling about Wang Xian's situation after he fell into a coma, and she would inevitably criticize him.

Through her words, Wang Xian knew that although the family was in a very bad situation, if he hadn't let him down, it wouldn't be like it is now, not to mention a butt of debts, and even being unable to eat... Thinking of this, Wang Xian realized I realized that just now my old lady's feet were mixed with garlic, which seemed to be caused by the weakness of hungry limbs.

After 600 years, there is still a saying of "returning to poverty after one illness". Wang Xian remembered that Lu Xun's family was defeated in the same way, so he believed in his sister's words, and he couldn't help feeling guilty.

"The neighbors told my mother that you will never wake up. If you procrastinate for a day and spend a day, you have to drag the good people down. It's better to break up quickly. It's the temper of my mother. No one knows what to do. If you can't pull it back, if you change to someone else's house, you will be dead!"

"Brother, let me beg you. The family owed so much debt for your medical treatment. When you get better, you must break with those people. An Sheng find a job, okay?" The little girl became discouraged after finishing speaking. Liao: "Forget it, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. How can you expect you to change?"

Being despised as scum by a teenage little sister, Wang Xian wished he could find a crack in the ground, how could he open his mouth?

"Open your mouth!" Seeing his refusal to eat, Yinling stared at him, "You want to go on a hunger strike just because you said a few words? If you have the guts, show us that instead, and then my sister will kowtow to you to apologize!"

Wang Xian's face was flushed red with embarrassment.

Seeing that he still refused to eat, the younger sister pursed her mouth and said: "Second brother, don't be ignorant, our family is not what it used to be. We do not produce millet in Fuyang, and mother used an old hen that was laying eggs to replace the ten or so rice. Jin, we haven’t tasted a single bite!”

Wang Xian sighed deeply, and finished the porridge in one bite, without wasting a single grain.
