Chapter 1: I want to travel back
In mid-spring April, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant and the sun is shining!
A small courtyard with a broken fence, a dilapidated thatched hut made of bamboo, wood and mud, half of which is already crooked, looks like it will collapse at any moment.
There is an apricot tree with lush branches and leaves in the small courtyard, the trunk is thick, the branches and leaves are thick, the dense sunlight shines through the leaves, and countless small blue-green apricots are swaying in the wind, looking at it makes people's mouths full of water.
A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy in a tattered burlap coat squatted on a tree branch a few meters above the ground, groping around, still muttering words in his mouth.
"Jade Emperor, Jesus God, Bodhi Ancestor, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Jizo Bodhisattva, please do well, send me back, I will never run a red light to cross the road again, and I promise that I will never do Meituan to deliver fast food again......"
"Brother, come down, be careful and fall down again!"
A little girl who looked to be seven or eight years old, dressed in shabby linen clothes, came out of the room and shouted, her thin body was almost like a gust of wind could blow, her cheeks were shriveled and she looked like she had been malnourished for a long time.
The boy stayed in the tree for another two minutes before he reluctantly slipped down the trunk, and at the same time reluctantly groped around the trunk, as if trying to find a hole to get into.
The young man's name is Chen Xu, and the little girl is his sister, but what others don't know is that the soul in this body has changed bosses.
It all started three days ago.
Three days ago, Chen Xu was still a member of the hundreds of thousands of couriers of Meituan, a mysterious organization, wearing a yellow helmet and a yellow vest every day, riding an electric car to deliver fast food in the streets and alleys.
Grabbing orders and grabbing time is a must for takeaway brothers, and running red lights in order to grab time is also commonplace.
In the past, I often heard on the news that the takeaway brother ran a red light and died at the wheel, leaving behind his wife and children, but after all, the probability of this kind of thing is very small, and the hundreds of thousands of takeaway troops across the country are only three or five, so no one takes it too seriously.
But the so-called long-term night road will hit a ghost, and the King of Hades wants to invite you to drink tea, and the Jade Emperor can't stop it.
So Chen Xu crossed the intersection at the moment when he saw the red light come on, and as a result, he was hit by an off-road vehicle and flew out, and when he woke up from a coma, he found himself lying in a thatched hut that was so dilapidated that there was almost nothing.
But it can't be counted as nothing, at least there is a big hole in the roof.
The bright sun shone down and fell right on him.
Warm and sweet!
Although his body is hot, Chen Xu's heart is cool and cool.
As a skinny, dirty, coarse linen girl ran in and called out to his brother in surprise, he had almost the same reaction as most of the time-travelers, that is, he had crossed, and it was a very common soul piercing, he was hit by a car and died, and then the soul traveled through time and space to live on the little girl's brother.
Almost an hour later, Chen Xu completely accepted the fact that he had become a member of the starting point million crossing army.
A twenty-five-year-old takeaway single dog who didn't have a girlfriend once dressed as a fourteen-year-old teenager, but Chen Xu was not happy at all.
Not only was the body possessed by the soul emaciated, but what made him even more sad and angry was that this family was so poor that it could not be described by the four walls of the house, except for the crumbling thatched house, there were only two women.
A little girl with no name, seven years old, was his sister.
A woman in her thirties, named Chen Jiang, is his mother.
No father, my father was conscripted to fight four years ago, and since then he has never returned, leaving the three of them to depend on each other.
The little girl didn't say anything, she didn't know anything, and judging from the very limited information she got from Chen Jiang's mouth, after a simple deduction, Chen Xu was scared, and the first thing she did when she got out of bed was to climb to the apricot tree in the yard to try to find the wormhole she had crossed over and cross back.
Maybe in that world, with the means of high-tech advanced medical technology, the body that was hit by a car can still be saved, even if it is a missing arm and a broken leg, it is a hundred times stronger than staying in this terrible era.
But obviously Chen Xu's wish was disappointed, he squatted on the branch of the apricot tree and looked for it for a long time, not to mention the space-time wormhole, he didn't even see a single insect eye.
Now he sat on a stone under the almond tree, staring at the crumbling thatched hut in front of him in a daze.
It is said that this young man, also named Chen Xu, climbed to the apricot tree and was about to dig a bird's nest, fell and fell to death, and lay on the bed for three days before waking up.
Of course, no one knew that what woke up was no longer the soul of a teenager, but a single monster who lived more than 2,000 years later and was twenty-five years old.
The reason why Chen Xu is afraid to travel back is not mainly because his family is poor.
Before the crossing, Chen Xu's family was not rich, otherwise he would not have fallen to the point of delivering takeaways.
The reason for the fear was the result of speculation from the limited information obtained from Chen Jiang's mouth.
The country where he lives now is called Qin State, and his current location is in Nanyang County.
His father, Chen Hu, was conscripted into the army four years ago to participate in the Chu army's resistance to the Qin attack, but the Chu State soon failed and was completely annexed by the Qin State, and a large number of Chu troops either fled or were killed or captured and punished for hard labor, and Chen Hu's whereabouts were also unknown, and no news came back.
According to the history that Chen Xu roughly remembers, if he hadn't crossed into the other world, then Qin would have unified the whole country in three or four years at most after destroying the Chu State, and today's China should have entered the rule of the unified Qin Empire, and the biggest boss in China today should be Qin Shihuang, who is known as the first emperor of the ages.
But it was this Qin Da who made him feel incomparably afraid.
According to historical records, the Qin Dynasty was a strong army, and the law was strict, all men between the ages of fifteen and sixty were required to serve in the military, almost all the people were soldiers, and what was even more terrifying was that after Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he began to build the Great Wall, dig canals and ditches, build various highways connecting the whole country, conquer Baiyue and Lingnan and other places, and often conscripted hundreds of thousands of slaves and slaves, and the entire Chinese people almost lived in an extremely oppressive and terrifying environment.
Moreover, under the strict household registration system, under the system of protecting the armor, no one can escape surveillance and restraint.
These are not made up out of thin air, there are many records and explanations of the laws and decrees of the Qin Dynasty in the Sleeping Tiger Land Yunmeng Qin Jane unearthed in later generations, that is to say, the person who wrote the Sleeping Tiger Land Qin Jian is now an official somewhere, and is even carving those bamboo slips.
The hukou registration system invented in the Qin Dynasty continued to be used until New China, and it was precisely because of the hukou registration system that two thousand years later the Chinese were firmly tied to the land.
The Qin Dynasty, known as the greatest dynasty in Chinese history, is actually the darkest era in history, so his state is also the shortest, and the Great Qin Dynasty only existed for 14 years counting the second Huhai, and then collapsed in the national uprising.
After all, the first emperor completed the unification of China for the first time, and the reforms such as the same track, the same book, and the same system finally condensed the Chinese nation into a great civilization, creating more than 2,000 years of brilliant glory for the next generations, and almost making the Chinese nation stand at the peak of human civilization on the earth.
But looking at history and being in history are two completely different concepts.
In the primitive and chaotic era of the Qin Dynasty, it is not easy to rely on the historical experience and cultural knowledge of more than 2,000 years in later generations, because Qin Shi Huang is too powerful, and now no one can resist his will, even if Xiang Yu and Liu Bang are strong, they only dare to jump out and rebel after he hangs.
