On November 18, 2000, in the LC District of Xiangning City, Jiangnan Province, it was dawn, the cold wind was bleak, and the weather was extremely cold.

At the entrance of Gucang Lane in the LC area, several street lamps shine in the morning breeze. Under one of the lamps, a tall, lanky young man stood, bent over a lamppole, spewing a strong smell of alcohol from his mouth.

After a while, perhaps because the morning wind was too cold, the young man in a slightly thin shirt could not help but shiver in the cold wind, and then looked around with a puzzled face.

"My head hurts. The young man straightened up, stared blankly at the milky eastern sky, and muttered, "Am I not dead?"

"No, even if I survive, I should be on Hong Kong Island. The young man shook his head again, trying to clear his mind a little more, "What is this, why do I have a sense of déjà vu?"

The young man muttered his right hand that let go of the railing, and staggered along the bluestone street, staggering in the direction of the morning light.

The further he went, the more complicated the young man's eyes became, with the joy of resurrection from the dead, the discomfort of an unresolved hangover, the confusion of being in an unknown place, and a trace of inexplicable unbelievable shock.

"My name is Lee Jeong-yi, and I came to this place from the bustling Hong Kong Island, which is both familiar and unfamiliar. The young man slowed down and reached into his pockets to smoke a cigarette, only to find that his pockets were clean.

Li Zheng stopped suddenly, and at this time the east became brighter and brighter, and the sun was about to jump out of the horizon. Facing the morning light, he looked down at the light blue shirt, brown leather jacket, gray long pants, and dusty worn sneakers on his body.

Li Zhengyi is 100% sure that what he is wearing now is definitely not his own clothes. Not exactly what you wore before you lost consciousness in your memory.

On the morning of early winter, when a mist was surging and pedestrians were extinct, Li Zheng glanced at the shops on both sides of the street and the hidden residential buildings behind the shops.

Moving on, the sunlight penetrated the mist, and a tall building appeared on the right side of the street in the distance, and when it got closer, several big characters printed on the tall building of Xiangning Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine corroborated Li Zhengyi's memory.

At this moment, the blessing of the heart, the word rebirth jumped into Li Zhengyi's mind.

When passing a small bridge, Li Zhengyi walked through the dead grass on the side of the road, came to the bridge, lay down on the side of the river, stretched out his hands to pick up the cold river water, and poured it vigorously on his face.

The cold river water soaked into his skin, and with the help of the cold stimulation, Li Zhengyi was completely awake, he looked at the crystal clear river water, and recalled little by little.

Is it really reborn?

Li Zhengyi looked at the immature faces reflected in the river, and his heart was not excited, nor lost, but more numb and incredible.

Rebirth is too magical, and decades of crumbling outlook on life and worldview. After thinking for a while, Li Zhengyi left the river, found a clean place to sit nearby, and carefully rummaged through his pockets.

In his pocket was a worn-out wallet containing three coins, a five-dollar note, a ten-dollar note, and a plastic-encrusted ID card that read:

Name: Li Zhengyi

Gender: Male

Ethnicity: Han

Born: September 12, 1981

Nationality: No. 10, Group 9, Lijia Village, Mogong Township, Xuefeng County, Xiangning City, Jiangnan Province

In the upper right corner of the document is an immature half-length photo.

continued to flip, and something unexpected to Li Zhengyi appeared again. In another pocket, an Apple 8 mobile phone and a black USB flash drive were accidentally turned out.

Li Zhengyi was almost dumbfounded, these two things were extremely weird, because these were items before the dead came back to life. Now he is wearing not the clothes he wore when he fled for his life, otherwise there are not only a dozen yuan in his pocket, but tens of thousands of yuan. According to the reflection in the river and the evidence seen along the way, his rebirth should be a sure thing.

So the question is, how did these two items that belong to the afterlife come about? Why do they also travel with them? Could it be that the present self is just living in a real dream? Or rather, Truman's world?

Li Zhengyi couldn't help but shudder, he firmly believed that the idea of rebirth began to waver, and he was entangled in his heart for a long time, he really couldn't figure out the key, Li Zhengyi chose to give up, he knew that it was purely difficult for himself to continue.

Fiddling with the objects in his hand, he found that the mobile phone has long been out of power, in the absence of a charger, the current role of the mobile phone is not as affordable as a brick, and it is estimated that no one dares to ask for it, because the design of the mobile phone is too advanced, and it may be considered a liar.

As for the USB flash drive, Li Zhengyi can be sure that this thing is definitely a treasure, because the reason why he has fallen into the current situation is inseparable from the USB flash drive.

The reason for the incident is very simple.

Before Li Zhengyi was reborn, he was the channel manager of the three major areas in the southwest of country Y, and there is no doubt that he is indeed the channel manager of the three major areas. Of course, this is the identity of the outside world on the surface, but in fact, he is a senior bodyguard of the three major districts. His real identity is the right-hand man of the gangster boss of Country Y, and to put it bluntly, he is a gangster.

Not long ago, when inspecting a high-end entertainment club called Jinbi Brilliant in the area under his jurisdiction, he accidentally picked up a lidless rotating black USB flash drive. At that time, I thought that a customer had accidentally left an item, so I told the manager on duty, and if someone came to inquire about the missing item, he told the other party that the item was in his possession.

When returning the items, the crooked nuts who asked for the USB flash drive suddenly wanted to kill people, but because they despised Li Zhengyi too much, he counterattacked with a stick and knocked his brain into a paste. The result is self-evident, Li Zhengyi, who got into trouble, was targeted by follow-up pursuers, from country Y to country X, from country X to Hong Kong Island, and finally when he was about to enter the country, he did not escape the fate of being killed.

The number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased, and the shops on both sides of the street began to open one after another.

Li Zhengyi leaned against a big tree, and began to think about another question in his mind, he found that his reborn self did not have the memory of yesterday. The yesterday referred to here refers to the yesterday of this life, and in Li Zhengyi's current memory, yesterday is the yesterday of his previous life. In other words, he has no memory of the past, there are scattered pictures, but they are all memories that are illogical or drifting without an exact point in time. Although his life is reborn, his thinking is a continuation of his previous life.

The not so long ago mentioned above is not strictly speaking, and the not long ago mentioned here refers to the time of the previous life.

There was a jingling sound on the ground, and Li Zhengyi was suddenly awakened. When I looked down, I found that between my legs, I was sitting cross-legged, and there was a shiny coin spinning in circles.

An old man in a hurry muttered, "Come and beg at such a young age," dropped a coin and walked away.

Li Zhengyi looked around with tears and laughter, feeling that he was sitting on the side of the road with increasing pedestrians, and it was indeed easy to cause misunderstanding among passers-by. He got up and patted his buttocks, thinking of changing places and continuing to sit for a while, took two steps, turned back again, picked up the coin that had just been given to him, blew carefully, and put it in his pocket.

In this era, a one-yuan coin can buy two hot buns, although it was misunderstood by the old man passing by, but since it has been charred, it is a piece of people's mind, and it is not impossible to take it.

Li Zhengyi moved to another place where there were few people and would not cause misunderstanding among passers-by, sat down and began to sort out his thoughts. After thinking about it for a long time, he found that his thoughts were always wandering, and he couldn't remember why he was in Xiangning City in this life, nor could he remember the specific location where he was now. The changes in the past 20 years have made him extremely unfamiliar with his former home city. Even, he doesn't know how to go home now, and vaguely remembers that there seems to be a bus station in the east of the city, and there is a shuttle bus to Mogong Township.

This kind of wandering thoughts is like a forgotten corner of a dream, trying to remember, but never being able to enter.

If this is a dream, then let yourself live a more exciting life. Let yourself in your dreams be able to make up for your regrets about your parents and life in your previous life without shame.

Li Zhengyi regained his spirits and began to hurry along the street from memory.

Passing by an early shop, Li Zhengyi bought two steamed buns and asked the boss how to get to the Chengdong bus station by the way? The boss of the early shop enthusiastically pointed out the route to the bus station and kindly suggested that it was the fastest to take the No. 3 bus.

At noon, Li Zhengyi rushed to Mogong Township. Originally, it was still a sunny day in Xiangning City, but when I came to Mogong Township, which was dozens of miles away, it began to rain inexplicably in the sky.

Out of the town in the rain, as far as the eye can see, in the hazy rain and fog, there are high and low mounds, stretching to the end of the line of sight. In the shelter of these mounds, there are a few large and small houses, and farther away, there are relatively densely populated villages, and through a few villages, you can reach the home of your memory.

Perhaps because of the timidity of his hometown, Li Zhengyi has not yet arrived home, and his heart begins to feel uneasy. He braved the drizzle, took a shortcut through the ridge, stepped on the sheep intestine path in front of the village, and when he faintly saw a corner of the two dilapidated houses in his home, his worried heart suddenly rolled.

Are the parents in this life still the same as they remember in their previous lives?

Li Zhengyi tried hard to recall, but more than ten years were too long, and the long years washed have already blurred the voices and smiles of his parents, and what is engraved in his memory are a few fragments that are unforgettable, and now they are hovering in his mind like a marquee.

Li Zhengyi quickened his pace, and after being reborn, he was anxious to see his parents again, and his steps were even a little vain, as if he was stepping on a pile of cotton, as if he was about to spread his wings and fly.

On both sides of the path are houses with inconsistent orientations and dilapidated appearances, and adults and children are standing or sitting outside the houses. He suddenly felt strange, they were all neighbors, and it was just a matter of not saying hello, so that they would not look at him with strange eyes, like looking at a prehistoric beast. Occasionally, when he saw a child who was closer, Li Zheng couldn't call out his name, so he showed a kind smile, but he didn't want to be discovered by the child's mother or father, so he grabbed the child and dragged it home, as if he had encountered a plague god, and avoided it.

When Li Zhengyi approached the door, he suddenly thought that at this time in his previous life, he was still an idle gangster. Within a radius of three or five miles, not to mention notorious, at least it is also a negative example of every family educating their children. Whoever has a child who is disobedient, does not study seriously, or is naughty, will be educated and said, if you are disobedient, you will be like Li Zhengyi, and when you grow up, you will be a second-rate child that everyone hates.

Thinking about it this way, Li Zhengyi was relieved by the disgust, vigilance or disgust of the neighbors along the road. Although he has been mixed with the Tao for more than ten years in his previous life, if he can, he also wants to be an upright person who is not blinded by others and is worthy of his heart.

In this life, we must reverse the trajectory of our previous lives and walk in the world openly. The moment he stepped into the flat in front of his dilapidated thatched house, Li Zhengyi thought secretly in his heart.
