Chapter 3: Past Lives
Li Chengyang just opened his eyes, and what he saw was Xiao'er's big eyes with concern, and he was crying with some meaning at this time.
Seeing that Li Chengyang woke up, he couldn't hold back his laughter anymore, he cried out with a wow, and said with a crying voice: "Young master, you finally woke up, don't read in the future, okay, you fainted from reading."
Li Chengyang looked confused, what is the matter with reading, but looking at the poor Baba looking at his smile, some inappropriate words can't be said, what is the meaning of reading fainted, he can only smile slightly: "Okay, okay, I won't study in the future, I'm hungry, you go get me something to eat, it's best to boil some chicken soup."
Xiao'er heard Li Chengyang's affirmative answer, the young master said that he would never study again, so he would not faint, and breathed a sigh of relief, the young master woke up, and he still had to drink chicken soup, this is a big deal, and it can't be delayed. Hurriedly got up and stepped on the floor to prepare food for her young master.
"Remember to close the door," Li Chengyang said hurriedly.
smiled in response, closed the door with a bang, nodded apologetically at Li Yi at the door, and went straight to the kitchen to prepare the best chicken soup for the young master.
Looking at the back of Xiao'er disappearing, as the door was closed, Li Chengyang exhaled, and then lay on the bed, carefully recalling the harvest just now.
I just had an extra memory in my mind, and I was slowly straightening it out at this time.
The busy traffic of the past life and the antique of the present slowly merge into one.
'I am Li Chengyang, am I the modern Li Chengyang or the Li Chengyang of the Tang Dynasty? Li Chengyang asked himself.
I don't know if Li Chengyang of Datang had a long, long dream, or if the modern Li Chengyang traveled back to Datang.
Every experience is so real, not the kind of ethereal little piece of memory.
Both memories are complete memories, and even every second from birth to the present is so real, there is not the slightest hypocrisy, every person I meet, every laugh, every cry, as long as I think about it, will come to mind.
Li Chengyang couldn't tell who he was, and the two memories were-for-tat with each other. Sometimes the modern one has the upper hand, and sometimes the Tang Dynasty has a slight advantage.
Feeling the current state, the confrontation of memories is not incompatible, as if every time it collides, there is a little memory fused, which has no effect on him, maybe the memory comes too violently, resulting in temporary refinement?
"Sorted out" the question of who he was, and then Li Chengyang began to carefully recall his memories that had just begun to pass ten years. Thanks to the battle between the two memories, his memory is clear and abnormal.
Tang Li Chengyang is also an orphan, he was adopted two years ago, he was just a little beggar before he was adopted, from the beginning of his memory, he was taken by an old woman to beg for food, during the war, the world was chaotic, the combination of old women and children can always win the sympathy of some people, most of them are not rich, but also have a little spare energy to help others Readers.
He and his grandmother depend on each other, and her grandmother has no name, she always says: "I have an elder brother and a younger brother, they all have names, and there is a girl in the family who has no name, but those who have names have died early, and they have no surname and no name, but they live longer than anyone else."
Li Chengyang remembered that when Grandma said this, they were in a dilapidated temple, and Grandma's face was quite sacred in the firelight by the Bodhisattva who lost one arm, and the red rhyme on her face seemed to be something Li Chengyang had never seen.
Then Grandma glanced at Li Chengyang lovingly, took out a rather refined jade pendant from the cuff, and handed it to Li Chengyang: "This is the only valuable object on your body when I picked you up, and now I will return it to you, okay, Grandma is tired, old, useless."
Li Chengyang remembered the jade pendant, he didn't understand what was good or bad, and he didn't understand the sum of his past and present lives, but his jade pendant was better than all the jade pendants he had ever seen, and there was a "Li" word engraved on the back of the jade pendant, which should be his surname.
Grandma is as she said, she is old, she was still young at the time, and she didn't know that the rosy on Grandma's face had a nice name to describe: "Back to the Light".
She never woke up again, and the next day, Li Chengyang never woke up her grandmother again, and the beggars next to her all said that her grandmother was dead.
He took the jade pendant and asked others to help bury his grandmother, and the beggar next to him said that he must be a nobleman of a certain Li family, and he refused to accept the jade pendant when he said anything, but said that he hoped that if Li Chengyang was developed, he could give them an extra bite to eat.
The crowd buried Grandma on a broken mat hidden by one of the old beggars. Subsequently, Li Chengyang, who was accustomed to being with his grandmother, oh yes, he was called "Brother Li" at that time. No one knew Li Chengyang's name, so he could only call Li Ge'er and Li Ge'er.
Li Chengyang was not with the rest of the beggars, he didn't want to live a life where there were dead people everywhere, I heard that Chang'an was prosperous and safe, and no one could starve to death if they went, so the young Li Chengyang went on the road by himself, begging all the way from Luoyang to the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
When he arrived in Chang'an, Li Chengyang found that there was no difference between this place and other places, and it was not as rumored, there were no rebels and bandits here, but there were more "adults" who had intensified. There was starvation here, too.
What shocked Li Chengyang was that these people were also readers, and they seemed to be better than the readers who had helped him.
"How can this be?" thought Brother Li.
"I must also read in the future, and I can read better than all of them," Li Ge'er secretly decided.
As if the heavens heard Li Chengyang's decision, a luxurious carriage stopped in front of him, and an old man got out of the car. The old man walked straight towards Li Chengyang, and stood still in front of Li Chengyang: "Raise your head" The old man's voice was not loud, but it was unconsciously complied.
If it were someone else, Li Chengyang would have already spat at the mouth, he had seen it in Xishi, and the first sentence when someone bought slaves from human traffickers was the same. He wasn't a nobleman, but he wasn't a slave to be slaughtered.
The old man said softly, and Li Chengyang did it without thinking about it, raising his dirty face. It's not that there is no water to wash your face, Grandma said that if there are more dirty things on your face, it will not be cold in winter.
The dirty face made the old man stare at it for a long time before he could see it clearly, and he said "as if" in a daze, he stared at Li Chengyang's face in a daze, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "Do you have a Li character jade pendant on your body?" ”
Li Chengyang was stunned, this was the first time someone asked him a question about Yu Pei, and reflexively covered his chest: "No, how can a little beggar like me have that precious thing."
However, the crappy lies and stiff movements did not deceive the old man. Or let's say that people are old and treacherous.
The old man didn't answer, turned his head and gestured to the guards next to the carriage, and then walked out of the guards, his eyes widened, and a fierce aura suddenly erupted, staring at Li Chengyang without saying a word.
Li Chengyang has seen a lot of people, he has seen them in the chaotic army before, he has really killed people, and there are many people who have killed such an aura, this kind of person is really a person who draws a knife against him without saying a word.
Immediately, he didn't say much, Ma Yu pulled out his jade pendant from his chest and held it with both hands, his back turned upward, and deliberately let the word "Li" face the old man, and bent down at 90 degrees and handed it to the old man.
The old man didn't take it, but just glanced at the bright Li character lightly, and then shook it, and a trace of joy flashed in his old but sharp eyes: "Take it, and it will be my grandson in the future."
Since then, Li Chengyang has had a grandfather who meets once every six months, a small courtyard with more than a dozen houses, a personal maidservant, an old housekeeper, and even a group of mysterious guards, oh yes, and Li Chengyang's name. The day after the old man took him away, he got this name.
Li Chengyang knew that the old man was related to him by blood, and he should be his own grandson, after all, every time the old man came to see him, that kind of pampering in his bones couldn't be pretended.
However, I don't know why, the old man doesn't let himself see his parents. Li Chengyang also asked sideways, and under the old man's intentional disclosure, he knew that his parents were still alive.
"I'm still alive, but I don't let myself see it, tsk, it's the secret set of the family," Li Chengyang thought with a sigh on the bed.
As for his parents, Li Chengyang, who has never seen his parents in his life, is of course curious, however, for him now, whether his parents are the same, and many difficult days have passed. Not bad for that.
But why was I so stupid in the first place?
The old man asked him what he wanted most.
"Read, read a lot of books, don't go out if you don't finish reading," the young Li Chengyang replied categorically.
