I don't know how long it took, but it seemed like a while, and it seemed like a century.

Zhang Taiping opened his eyes and subconsciously raised his arm to block the dazzling light.

After his eyes adjusted to the bright light, Zhang Taiping was stunned. What stood in front of him was not a ghostly claw-like hemp hand, but a thick and powerful arm. Even the previous legs are far inferior.

Zhang Taiping suddenly felt a burst of panic, twisting his stiff neck to look at the surrounding environment. He did not lie on the soft bed at home, but on a clay kang made of bricks and earth.

Suddenly, with an "ah" sound, he hugged his head with his hand, which seemed to be about to explode. A memory flooded in.

I remember sitting on a chair in the park when it suddenly rained. He was drenched in soup and dizzy, and hid under a tree to take shelter from the rain. Because he scolded God, he was stingy and thundered.

Just when he thought he was going to die, the jade pendant that he had been wearing in front of his trip suddenly absorbed a large amount of thunder and lightning, emitting dazzling white light to suck himself into the air, and then rushed into the colorful passage where the thunder and lightning split.

At the other end of the passage is a series of dark mountains. He has been floating along the mountain with the jade pendant.

Until, until I saw a mother and daughter holding a man lying on the ground and crying in horror.

The man lying on the ground had a hole in his eyebrows, and blood gushed out like a spring, flowing down his cheeks all over his face, which was terrifying. And next to the head was a sharp stone, and the tip of the stone was stained with blood. Presumably, after the man tripped and fell, the tip of the stone just hit the center of his eyebrows.

The man's legs twitched, and his eyes began to roll up. In the eyes of Zhang Taiping, who knows a lot about traditional Chinese medicine, this is a sign of dying and is hopeless.

As if she had suddenly thought of something, the woman gestured to the little girl. Desperately running along the path towards the hill behind him.

The little girl, who was four or five years old, pressed her hand tightly against the wound that was still bleeding out. The little face was blue with fright, and the little mouth was still muttering something.

Zhang Taiping was curious to get close to the little girl.

But something strange happened. As if by a strange pulling force, the jade pendant turned into a ball of light and pierced through the wound on the man's eyebrows.

After that, the wound on the man's eyebrows began to merge at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. And Zhang Taiping fell into darkness.

"You don't have to worry, he can't die." An old, but neutral voice.

The woman was another gesture.

"Grandpa, mom asked you why dad hasn't woken up yet." The little girl's voice was in front of an interpreter.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I lost too much blood before, and now I'm very weak."

The old man was silent for a while, and then said, "There is a possibility of amnesia or becoming a fool or something." Alas! The head injury was very serious, and it was already a great pleasure to be alive. ”

The woman's body shuddered violently, and her face turned pale. The little girl didn't dare to speak, and tugged at the corner of her mother's clothes tightly.

As if thinking of something angry, the old man said angrily: "It's good to be a fool, but the province is still not as good as before, and you always go to make trouble." ”

Although the old man said ruthlessly, Zhang Taiping, who had already woken up and squinted, could see the sadness flashing on the old man's face.

In fact, Zhang Taiping woke up soon after the three of them entered the house, but he didn't know how to face the family, so he kept pretending to be asleep.

Zhang Taiping, who had been fighting at the starting point for several years, understood that he was reborn. Specifically, it is borrowed from the corpse to return the soul.

The original owner of this body is also called Zhang Taiping, and the previous memory is his.

He was an only son. His parents were in a car accident when he was 15 years old, and his grandmother was so grief-stricken that she died of depression not long after. After grandma left, grandpa's surname also changed greatly. A man moved to the back hill and built a wooden house next to the graves of his parents and grandmother, and stayed there.

Unsupervised, he fooled around the town after graduating from junior high school. With some skills taught by his grandfather in his early years, he also created some notoriety in the town.

After that, some people organized to steal cables from the brick factory and were arrested by the police station. asked the family to pay 3,000 yuan to redeem it, but the grandfather didn't care. So he was locked up in the prison for three months before he was released.

After coming out, he was honest and learned carpentry work with the old carpenter in the village for two years.

When he was nineteen years old, his grandfather suddenly came down the mountain. He found the Witnesses in the village, regardless of his resistance, and he and the doll on the other side of the door consummated the marriage.

After getting married, although he didn't rob or steal, he became addicted to gambling. I don't know if people are afraid of his grandfather, or if he has good gambling. Anyway, there has never been a bloody thing of selling a house and a wife, but there is no money left in his hand.

Especially in the past two years, it has intensified. Carpentry was also abandoned. He took all the money that his wife had worked so hard to plant fruit trees and lost it. When he returned home, he even punched and kicked his wife. One is that he thinks his wife is dumb and makes him lose his job outside, and the other is that he thinks his wife did not give birth to a child with a child and gave birth to a money-losing goods.

Last night, I lost all my money, drank some wine, listened to some gossip, and staggered home.

didn't have a steady foot, and the current Zhang Taiping was cheaper.

Zhang Taiping opened his eyes. The first thing I saw was not the two pensive adults, but the little girl who had been secretly looking at him.

The little girl is the daughter of this body, and she is four years old and has no big name. Yaya all the time, Yaya screamed.

Yaya saw that he opened his eyes and quickly hid behind his mother. Gently tugged at the corner of the woman's clothes.

The woman is the mute wife of this body, named Cai Yazhi. It's just that Zhang Taiping has been screaming dumbly before.

Cai Yazhi's maiden family is the right door. Her parents, like those of this body, were killed in that car accident. Leaving her and her sister Cai Xiaomei, who is three years younger.

She looked up and saw that Zhang Taiping had woken up, and she looked very happy. He gestured to the old man sitting in the chair.

The old man is the grandfather of this body. It is said that he was a former war doctor who participated in the War of Liberation and settled here after liberation.

Zhang Taiping just knew that the old man was very skilled, and although he was about eighty years old now, it was not a problem to deal with two or three by himself. It's just that I don't know why my grandmother didn't live in the mountains after she went, and she didn't pay attention to her grandson.

The old man turned around, put two fingers on Zhang Taiping's wrist, closed his eyes and listened for a while. Suddenly asked, "Do you recognize who I am?" ”

Zhang Taiping was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and nodded.

The old man observed for a while and asked about some symptoms. After confirming that it was okay, he stood up and said, "Count your kid's life big, it's not a big deal, just make up for it." ”

Zhang Taiping looked at the old man's face, opened his mouth and wanted to call grandpa, but it seemed that something was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't shout.

The old man looked at his expression and "snorted", flicked his sleeves and walked out. When he arrived at the door, he said, "I can get a few pieces of medicine when I get off the kang." ”

After the old man left, Cai Yazhi gestured towards Zhang Taiping.

Zhang Taiping, who was thinking about what to say, was confused, but he still didn't understand what she wanted to express.

Although they have been living together for five years, there is no tacit understanding between husband and wife. Zhang Taiping despised his predecessor for a while.

"Dad, Mom asked you what you had for lunch" Yaya quickly glanced at Zhang Taiping, who was frowning, and said timidly with her head lowered like a little rabbit.

Yaya's movements fell in Zhang Taiping's eyes, making him feel dumb.

I can't help but laugh at myself, you are really majestic in your predecessor, and even your own daughter is so afraid of you.

While grieving for him, he also gradually weakened the guilt caused by the occupation of his body.

He shook his head, suppressed his thoughts, and said, "Let's boil some millet porridge." ”

For authentic northern farmers, what is scarce is not these by-products such as millet, small red beans and mung beans, which can be sold at a good price in big cities, but rice.

Much of the north is arid and water-scarce, and the land is barren. It is suitable for growing wheat and corn, as well as drought-tolerant and cold-tolerant crops such as sorghum and millet.

After the reform and opening up, with the development of science and technology, the output of wheat and corn increased rapidly. At present, large areas of the north are dominated by wheat and corn, and sorghum and millet have been gradually abandoned either because of poor taste or because of low yields. Wheat is planted in winter and corn is harvested in summer, and the two crops are rotated in a year.

Rice cannot be grown in this mountainous area. If you want to eat, you can only buy it.

And millet, here it is also called millet. Zhang Taiping remembered that his family had planted some to eat a rare meal.

After hearing this, Cai Yazhi hurriedly went to the kitchen to prepare, and Yaya hurriedly followed, as if Zhang Taiping was a monster. Zhang Taiping, who watched it, laughed at himself again.

After all, I just lost too much blood yesterday, and even a man with iron can't resist it. After talking for a while, sleepiness struck.

It didn't take long for his eyes to be closed, and his mute wife gently shook him awake.

He holds a wooden plate in his hand. On the wooden plate are two large old bowls and a light bamboo basket.

In the bamboo basket is a pot helmet cut into triangles. It is the kind of pot helmet known as a specialty of Shaanxi and has a reputation all over the country. The pot helmets of Baoji Fufeng and Qishan are the most famous, and they are sold at various railway stations or bus stations.

It belongs to the Guanzhong zone in the hinterland of Shaanxi and is under the jurisdiction of Xi'an. The pot helmet is also in the middle of the tunnel.

Two old bowls, one with sauerkraut, but here it is not called sauerkraut, it is called syrup cabbage, which is pickled with wild vegetables.

The other bowl is porridge, which looks like there is more soup and less rice. It's not that his mute wife abused him and was reluctant to give him food. Rather, there is an allusion.

It is said that during the war years, a family of men was conscripted to fight, and only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were left in the family.

The daughter-in-law is very filial, and she takes care of the farm work at home by herself. I also washed and cooked for my mother-in-law, and brought water to my mother-in-law every night to wash my mother-in-law's feet. The food is mainly millet, and every time I just bring some soup for myself and leave the rice for my mother-in-law.

But the strange thing is that the mother-in-law is getting thinner and thinner, and the daughter-in-law is fat and fat.

So someone asked her mother-in-law if her daughter-in-law was abusing her.

The mother-in-law hurriedly defended her daughter-in-law and said: "My daughter-in-law is very filial to me, washing and cooking for me, and washing my feet. Every time I eat, I leave all the rice and just drink some soup. ”

From this, people know that the nutrition of millet is all in the soup.

After placing the wooden plate in front of Zhang Taiping, the mute wife and the little girl sat at the low wooden table not far from the kang. Sure enough, there was more rice and less soup in the bowl.

Zhang Taiping picked up the old bowl and took a sip of porridge. The unique flavor of millet blooms on the taste buds, and the fragrance of small red beans is also mixed in between. It makes people feel that their brains are light, and their appetite is greatly increased.

Pick up a pot helmet, more than three centimeters thick. The outer two layers of skin are branded with oil flowers, and the middle is sandwiched with a soft inner pulp.

Took a bite. The skin is crispy and has a hint of vegetable oil. The middle is fluffy and delicious, like bread, but it is more chewy, and there is a hint of sweetness.

A quick gulp solves a piece. Pick up the bowl, take the sour and cool syrup vegetables, and snort the old bowl into the stomach. I added two more pot helmets to feel full. patted his full stomach, and his spirit improved a lot.

raised his head, just in time to bump into the girl who was secretly looking at him again.

The little girl panicked and hurriedly turned her head.

Zhang Taiping watched the little girl almost stuff her head into a bowl bigger than her head, and she didn't feel it. There is a warm feeling spreading in my heart, warm.

Although he also wants the little guy to be coquettish in his arms, Zhang Taiping, who has a ghost in his heart, knows that he can't be in a hurry, and there must be a process. Otherwise, it will be too sudden and it will arouse suspicion. People suspect that the illusory possibility of resurrecting the soul by borrowing the corpse is indeed very small, but if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, and for the sake of insurance, you should not do abnormal behavior.
