Next Chapter

"Brother Zheng has gone home for dinner." A little girl of seven or eight years old shouted to the teenager sitting on the hillside. The boy turned back to the girl and smiled and replied, "I know, I'll come down." ”

It is a small village backed by a large mountain, so it is called a mountain village. This village is relatively large, with more than 1,500 people in 3,400 households. There is a small river in front of the village, and the small river just hugs the village in the arms of the mountain, making the whole village look like a paradise.

The boy sitting on the hillside is named Tang Zheng, although the body is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, but the body contains a soul of more than 30, he is a person from the 21st century, as for how he came to this world, he can't say clearly, he only remembers that he fell and fell when he went out after eating with the guests and then didn't know anything. When he woke up, he found himself in a bed he had never seen before. As for why he had never seen it, it was not any style he was familiar with. It's not that he has never seen it, at least this kind of bed often appears in film and television works, but he hasn't seen it in reality. Tang Zheng looked around and not only did he not see the bed, but even the furnishings in the room were something he had never seen before, at least he didn't see the familiar TV and air conditioner.

"You're awake, you've been asleep for three days." A little girl next to her said to Tang Zheng. Tang Zheng saw a little girl standing by the bed at this time, the little girl's voice was very nice and crisp, but Tang Zheng didn't understand what she said, the accent was not the Mandarin with a round accent in later generations, but like the dialects in Tangshan, Hebei Province in later generations, but it was different. Tang Zheng looked at the girl and asked in Mandarin; "Who are you? Where am I, and why do you say I slept for three days? The little girl blinked her big eyes and looked at Tang Zheng in confusion, but he didn't understand a word of what Tang Zheng said. The two stared at each other for a while, and the little girl turned around and ran out, shouting outside as she ran: "Father, that good-looking brother is awake." After a while, an old man of about sixty-five or sixteen came in from outside. The old man looked at Tang Zheng and said with a smile: "You woke up, you have been sleeping in bed for three days since the old man's grandson rescued you three days ago." "Now Tang Zheng basically understood what the old man said, and he was sure that this was the dialect of Tangshan, Hebei in later generations, but he didn't understand why it was a little different from later generations, Tang Zheng had a faint premonition in his heart." Old man, you said that I had slept for three days, and it was your grandson who saved me? Tang Zheng also asked in the dialect of Tangshan, because he used to go to Tangshan on business trips, Tang Zheng also knew some dialects there. Although Tang Zheng said it was not very standard, the old man obviously understood. "Well, three days ago, my grandson saw you lying on the side of the road on the way back from Tuyin County, so he brought you back." The old man said to Tang Zheng. Tang Zheng listened to the old man's words, and thought about it carefully, he remembered that when he went out with the guest to check out, he seemed to fall and lose consciousness after touching something. It seems that the old man said that his head was broken and bleeding should have been touched during a wrestling. Tang Zheng asked the old man many questions, and the old man knew everything.

From the following conversation, Tang Zheng determined one thing, that is, he crossed over, and he crossed with his body. Tang Zheng looked at his current body a little dazed, it was not that there were any parts missing, but the current body was not the one he used to have, to be precise, it was not his body that had been slightly blessed by drinking for a long time, at least his big belly, which was bigger than a pregnant woman who was four months pregnant, was gone, and it was more like his body when he was in high school. As for how his body became smaller, Tang Zheng couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it. Now it is the sixth year of Guanghe, and the saying of later generations is that 183 is the third year of the reign of Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the last two years are the seventh year of Guanghe, which is also the first year of Zhongping. In other words, Tang Zheng came to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. If Tang Zheng is not mistaken, the largest peasant uprising in history will break out next year. Zhang Jiao of Julu used his prestige among the people to gather hundreds of thousands of people, known as the largest peasant uprising in history, the 'Yellow Turban Uprising'. Although Zhang Jiao failed in the end, it dealt a fatal blow to the already stormy Han Dynasty, and also planted a bane for the next troubled times of the Three Kingdoms.

"Brother Zheng, what are you thinking so distractedly." After Tang Zheng came down, he walked to Cheng's house with Cheng Ying, and Cheng Ying looked at Tang Zheng who almost tripped over a stone and asked. "I'm wondering why we look so well-behaved and sensible." Tang Zheng retracted his thoughts and said to Cheng Ying with a smile. After waking up last time, Tang Zheng also knew who saved him and whose home he lived in. Speaking of which, it was a big man who saved him, of course, that was later, and now he is just a small scribe in Tuyan, he is the famous Cheng Pu, the elder of the three dynasties of Eastern Wu in the future. The old man is Cheng Pu and the little girl's grandfather in front of him, Uncle Cheng Mingting, asked, the little girl's name is Cheng Ying, who is only eight years old this year. Both brothers and sisters were raised by their grandfather, when Cheng Ying was just one year old, his father was killed by thieves on the way home from Tuyin County, and his mother was also hit by his father's murder, and not long after, the two siblings were also killed. "Hmph, Brother Zheng, you made fun of you again, but you came to make fun of people when they kindly asked you to go home for dinner, and they will ignore you in the future." Cheng Ying said angrily, although she said this, she was still very happy in her heart, after all, children, how could someone boast about themselves to be unhappy. "By the way, Brother Zheng, why do you look in the same direction on this small hillside every day?" Cheng Ying asked what he thought in his heart, he had long wanted to ask Tang Zheng. Tang Zheng looked back at Cheng Ying and smiled and didn't say anything, but his own thoughts drifted away again.

"Dad, Dad, how long will it take for you to come back this time, will you bring me a gift when you come back?" Tang Zheng suddenly thought of what his daughter said to him before he left home. Thinking of this, Tang Zheng couldn't help but cry quietly, he could never go back, never see his lovely daughter and son again, never see his beautiful and dignified wife and parents who raised him with hard work. Thinking of this, Tang Zheng couldn't help but feel like a knife, he used to think that the sentence that his son wanted to be filial and didn't treat his relatives would not happen to him, but now he was separated from them, knowing that they were there, but he couldn't go back and take another look. If it was just the trouble of distance, Tang Zheng would definitely try his best to go back, now it is not the trouble of distance, but the difference of more than 1,800 years, how can I live so long.

"Brother Zheng, don't cry, I won't ask you again." Cheng Ying looked at Tang Zheng who was in tears and said. Tang Zheng wiped the tears on his face, retracted his thoughts, and said to Cheng Ying: "The tears that hurt my feet just now have fallen. Cheng Ying obviously doesn't believe it, although he is still young, it doesn't mean that she is stupid. Brother Zheng, don't look at me as a child, you really treat me as a three- or four-year-old child to deceive, just now you didn't get to your feet, and besides, no matter how painful it is, your face is full of tears. Tang Zheng was speechless and looked at Cheng Ying with black lines on his head, so he had to divert the topic and said, "By the way, is the eldest brother back today?" "Tang Zheng has been in this world for more than a month, and he has barely adapted to the way he speaks in this world." The eldest brother has already arrived home, and I bought a lot of delicious food today. Cheng Ying obviously forgot what happened to Tang Zheng's tears just now, and her eyes lit up when she talked about eating. Sure enough, foodies seemed to be available at that time, and it didn't matter the difference between age and the age of the girl. "Well, then let's go back quickly, don't let the eldest brother and eldest father wait for a long time." After Tang Zheng finished speaking, he and Cheng Ying quickened their pace and walked towards Cheng's house.

When he returned to Cheng's house, Cheng Pu and his grandfather were already waiting in the dining room, and Tang Zheng said hello to Grandpa Cheng and Cheng Pu when he entered the door. Grandpa Cheng waved his hand to let Tang Zheng be polite, and hurriedly asked Tang Zheng and Cheng Ying to eat at the table. "Tang boy, are you feeling better now? Does your head still hurt? Grandpa Cheng asked. Grandpa Xie's concern is all right. "Well, that's good, by the way, do you remember where you're from? How did it get hurt? "Back to Grandpa, I still can't think of anything for the time being." "Looks like your head hurt so badly that you've forgotten what you had done." On the third day after Tang Zheng woke up, Grandpa Cheng asked him a lot of things, such as where he was from, how he was injured, or something, Tang Zheng didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to excuse himself and didn't remember, he couldn't tell people that he was not from this world, he was from the afterlife, and it was estimated that not only no one would believe him, but he would also be treated as a person with mental problems.

Grandpa Cheng didn't think much about it, thinking that Tang Zheng was amnesia caused by a head injury, after all, the doctors who treated Tang Zheng said that they might forget the previous things in the future. "Since this is the case, I don't think you can think of it for a while, so let Demou go to the county seat tomorrow to help you get a household registration, how about you." Grandpa Cheng said. "Everything is subject to Grandpa Cheng's arrangement." Tang Zheng is worried about how to get a legal identity in this era, and now that Grandpa Cheng has spoken, everything will be easy. Cheng Pu is on an errand in the county government, and Grandpa Cheng is Lizheng, and with their help, it must be very simple to get a legal identity. You must know that in the feudal society, even if you leave one place and go to another place, there is no official guide to guide you, you will be arrested as a homeless person, if you are lucky, you will be arrested and sent to labor, and if you are unlucky, you will be cut down directly, and you will have no place to reason. Not to mention that this kind of person who does not have a household registration is whose property is caught, and no matter what you dispose of, it can be completely treated as an animal. "Here, you don't know each other well, and you don't remember any relatives, so I'll just accept you as a godgrandson, you are a few years younger than Demou, you will become brothers, and you will have a care in the future. The household registration falls on the Cheng family, and the name does not have to be changed. This is the only proof that you can find your family in the future, you see how it is. Grandpa Cheng said. The boy is grateful for his grandfather's affection, and he has the life-saving grace of the eldest brother, and now Grandpa Cheng is thinking about the boy everywhere, and the boy will treat his grandfather and eldest brother as close to him in the future. Tang Zheng got up and bowed to Grandpa Cheng and Cheng Pu, Grandpa Cheng hurriedly helped Tang Zheng up, and said to Cheng Pu: "Demou, from now on, you and Tang Zheng will be brothers, and grandpa doesn't expect you to have much success, I just hope that the two of you will support each other in the future." Cheng Pu got up and arched his hand towards Tang Zheng and said, "Please take care of the virtuous brother in the future." Tang Zheng hurriedly replied: "The eldest brother is polite, it should be the eldest brother who takes care of the younger brother." Cheng Ying also got up, just to show Tang Zheng a ceremony to meet her brother. Grandpa Cheng laughed: "We have a small family, Demou and Yingying's parents left early, and now there are only four people with Tang Zheng, we will be a family in the future, I hope you three brothers and sisters will love each other, Tang Zheng also regards this as his own home, just tell me directly, don't be polite." "Tang Zheng is now joining the Cheng family, and finally has a new identity of his own in the Han Dynasty, that is, the brother-in-law of Cheng Pu, the godson of Grandpa Cheng.

After dinner, Tang Zheng and Cheng Ying went out to eat together, and Cheng Pu also went back to his room to prepare for Tang Zheng's household registration. Tang Zheng is also looking at this village for the first time, such a village can be regarded as beautiful and picturesque in the future, but it is backward at the moment. Most of the villagers have vegetables on their faces, and the Cheng family is the richest family in this village, but there are only three or four dishes on the dinner table, and they are all green vegetables without salt and taste, and you can only see a meat dish every three or five days, let alone ordinary people. I really don't know how Cheng Pu grows, he is fierce and tall. Tang Zheng and Cheng Ying went home after a circle, and when they returned to their room, Tang Zheng fell on the bed and couldn't fall asleep for a long time, thinking about a lot of things, thinking of his wife and children and parents from now, and before he knew it, Tang Zheng fell asleep.
