Chapter 1: The Plague I
Yang Yingqi opened his eyes and saw his "brother".
"Brother!"
After screaming this, Yang Yingqi was a little confused, lying on the ground was a young man about twenty years old, obviously younger than himself, and his body and appearance were completely different from his brother, why did he think that this person was his brother in the first reaction?
"Ying Qi, what are you doing? I am here! β
Yang Yingqi turned around when he heard the voice and saw a young man who was both strange and familiar. I don't know why, Yang Yingqi suddenly remembered: This young man's name is Yang Kaiyuan, and he is his own brother. And the one lying unconscious at his feet seems to be called Orihiko Chong, who is a "friend" who has not been known for a long time. But why do you think that Zhi Yanchong is an "elder brother"?
Yang Kaiyuan walked over and said, "Isn't Zhi Yanchong awake yet?" It seems dangerous. β
Hearing Yang Kaiyuan's words, Yang Yingqi's mind flashed through many "memories": his experience in his previous life, the air crash that made time and space backwards, and the happy days in Jiangnan in this life, the anger of being forced to ruin by Hua Shigang two years ago, the hardships of fleeing to sea with his brother Yang Kaiyuan, and the years when he was captured as a slave by a foreign race......
He "remembered" that it was now the period of Zhenghe of the Northern Song Dynasty (the year of Huizong of the Song Dynasty), and this place was in the territory of Daliao.
A month ago, a sudden outbreak of disease in the area forced more than a dozen Han Chinese villages into quarantine and driven to death in this flightless valley. Although Yang Yingqi was a domestic slave of a Khitan merchant in the city, he was also driven in because he happened to have a fever that was considered an epidemic. In the past month, Yang Yingqi's condition has been deteriorating, Yang Kaiyuan thought that his life was not guaranteed, but who knew that today he would get better!
At this time, Yang Kaiyuan touched Yang Yingqi's head, and said with a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay, the fever has subsided, it seems that your little life has been saved for the time being." β
Yang Kaiyuan's action made Yang Yingqi realize his height, he stood up straight, looked down at his figure, and couldn't help but exclaim: "I...... How do I ...... Why are you so short! After saying this, he "remembered" again: "I have become twelve years old!" β
Yang Kaiyuan smiled and said, "Of course you are twelve years old!" Is it possible to sleep for a day and become a twenty-year-old? β
"Nope! No! I...... I turned out to ...... I've grown up over there! It is...... It's just ......" Yang Yingqi didn't know how to explain it: "That world!" My brother and I are in heaven...... Later......"
"Alright, alright!" Yang Kaiyuan said: "You must be sick and confused!" Don't be cranky, I'll get you some water to drink. β
The place where they were was was a rough straw hut with no door. Yang Kaiyuan walked out, and Yang Yingqi was in a trance again: "Could it be that everything is a dream?" Could it be that my memories of this world are real? No, how can dreams be so real? However, if it is not a dream, then what am I called in that world? He remembered a lot about the learning experience of that world, but he forgot the name, and he couldn't remember it no matter how desperately he thought about it, and finally, he cast his eyes on Orihiko Chong: he hoped that he would wake up and tell him the answer.
I don't know why, Yang Yingqi decided that Zhi Yanchong was the elder brother who had a plane crash with him. "If he is really my brother, then the only one in this world who can identify with me is him."
Soon Yang Kaiyuan came back with water, gave Yang Yingqi water, and poured some water on Zheyan who was in a coma. "Well, he's swallowed much more smoothly, and things seem to be much better." Zhe Yanchong was a person that Yang Kaiyuan only met after entering this valley, and after entering the valley, his illness gradually sank, and he actually fell into a coma two days ago, Yang Kaiyuan thought that he would never wake up again.
"You must wake up...... Yang Yingqi prayed silently.
God fulfilled his wish, and Zhi Yanchong finally woke up, but to Yang Yingqi's great disappointment, Zhi Yanchong seemed to have forgotten everything, including the memories of this world!
"What kind of place is this? Who are you? How could I be here ......"
"Brother Yan Chong, I'm Yang Wu Yang Kaiyuan! You forgot about me? Well, do you remember my brother Yang Yingqi? β
Zhi Yanchong shook his head blankly: "Brother Yanchong? Are you calling me? β
"Oh my God! He forgot about himself! β
Yang Yingqi sat down on the ground, and the desire to find "myself in that world" seemed to be completely frustrated.
Zhi Yanchong and Yang Yingqi are both confused about their past, but their bodies are getting better day by day in recuperation.
In fact, the so-called recuperation is just to drink more water and rest more. Most of the people in this valley were lower-class Han people and even slaves in the Nanjing Province of the Liao State. Some of them were driven in with some food and clothing, but most of them came in empty-handed and waiting to die. Not to mention medicine, there is also a lack of food, so more than 2,000 people came in at the beginning, and now less than half of them are still alive.
After living in this world for a few days, Yang Yingqi knows that the most important thing at the moment is not to think about the metaphysical question of "who am I", but how to live. In this world, he is just a twelve-year-old child, with brains but no strength, and the people he can rely on are Yang Kaiyuan, the clan brother in this world, and Zhi Yanchong, who doesn't know if it's his "brother".
Seeing that Zhi Yanchong's body had regained its strength on this day, Yang Kaiyuan took out a chaff cake and said, "Brother Yanchong, it seems that you can move, eat this, let's go grab rations together." These days, I'm robbing three people by myself, and I'm really tired! β
Yang Yingqi said curiously: "Grab rations? β
Yang Kaiyuan smiled: "You won't even forget this, right?" β
It turned out that the governor of this area was "good" in a certain sense, and not only did he not order all these people who might be infected with the epidemic to be killed, but after being confined to him, he also sent some rations regularly, but compared to the number of people in this valley, that ration was still not enough. Hence the snatching of rations.
After listening to his brother's words, Yang Yingqi also vaguely remembered that there was such a thing, and interjected: "I'll go too." β
Yang Kaiyuan said: "Don't! You're still here to stay. There was a lot of chaos there, and a lot of people were injured every time. β
Yang Yingqi remembered that he was only twelve years old, and he smiled bitterly and stopped insisting. However, after Zhi Yanchong and Yang Kaiyuan walked away for a while, he still quietly followed.
When they arrived at the place where the rations were distributed, they were already surrounded by people. The guards, fearing the plague, ordered the people of the valley to stand at a distance and wait until they had left before they could come and fetch their thingsβand they were not to be given what the rations were to be distributed.
The backs of the soldiers who brought in the rations disappeared, and the epidemic people, whose eyes were also red, rushed forward and looted them wantonly.
Yang Yingqi saw that Yang Kaiyuan also rushed up, but he didn't rush a few steps and found that Zhi Yanchong didn't follow, so he stopped and urged: "Hurry up!" β
Orihiko said in a daze: "What is this! Birds and beasts have food and know the clan, and now thousands of us are in a similar situation, and it is time to help each other in the same boat, but it is like this! β
Yang Kaiyuan was stunned, he was born in a scholarly family, he also read a belly of books before he broke his family at the age of fifteen, etiquette, righteousness and shame were deeply imprinted in his heart, and when he heard Zhi Yanchong's words, he couldn't help but blush, and said: "I also know that this is not very good, but everyone is like this......"
Zhi Yan rushed: "Others are beasts! Shall we follow along? Have you ever considered, why did the Khitans give us these rations? β
Yang Kaiyuan was stunned for a moment, and Zhi Yan rushed and said: "If they force us to death, then we will have to take a dangerous road." Trapping us here now, and giving us some rations, gives us a little hope. People are like this, and with hope, most people will not resist in the most drastic way! The rations they give are not very sufficient, isn't this a clear attempt to provoke us to kill each other! β
Yang Yingqi hid in the shadows, listened to Zhi Yanchong's words and said in his heart: "This kind of reasoning, this kind of thinking, seems to have some traces of modern people." Is he my brother or not? β
I only heard Yang Kaiyuan sigh: "I also vaguely thought of this, but ...... But in this situation, everyone is grabbing, and if we don't grab it, we will die. And it's the first to die! β
Orihiko said: "If the situation continues like this, even if we grab something today, we will have to die sooner or later!" β
"Not bad! Brother Zhe is right! It was Yang Yingqi who spoke, he jumped out and looked at Zhi Yanchong, as if he saw the shadow of "his brother" in another world from Zhi Yanchong's words and deeds.
