Chapter 1: A New Beginning

Next Chapter

...... Growing up in a welfare home, because he was not in good health when he was a child, he was not adopted, but fortunately, at that time, the public welfare institutions were quite complete, and the treatment and study were borne by the public funds......

...... A year before the college entrance examination, my chronic illness was cured, the review and college entrance examination were very smooth, I was admitted to a passable university, studied food processing, my college grades were average, I had no chance to fall in love, and after graduation, I entered a company and continued my ordinary life......

...... Maybe because of the closed depression of my childhood, or because of my illness and weakness, I like to travel in the wild after work, broaden my horizons, and strengthen my body......

....... I went to the outskirts of Datong to climb the mountain with a few travelers, a friend slipped his foot, and he went over to help, and by chance, his friend was fine, but he fell off the cliff at an altitude of several hundred meters.......

...... No, no, he is a twelve-year-old boy in Baibao Village, southwest of Datong City, a few days ago, he caught a cold and couldn't get out of bed, how could he have such a ridiculous dream, he has lived in a dream for more than 20 years, from childhood to adulthood, and there are so many strange but extremely attractive things......

....... No, no, I am an employee of a trading company, I like to travel, I like to enjoy life, I already have a girl I like, and the other party also has a good impression of me, my life has just begun, how can I die, how can I have such an illusion, I imagine that I grew up in a village in the ancient north, and lived a poor life with my parents......

....... Turns out I have parents? No, no, this must be an illusion.......

....... It's good to have enough food and clothes every day, no, no, this must be a demon.......

Zhu Da sat up from the bed suddenly, his face was covered with cold sweat, his eyes were dazed, and he said to himself: "I am Zhu Da, I am Zhu Da, I am ......"

Anyone who sees Zhu Da here at this time will feel that he is stunned, a thin young man lying on the earthen kang, talking to himself, and groping himself with his hands, from face to foot, without letting go of a place.

But with this constant self-talk and self-exploration, Zhu Da's blank eyes gradually became condensed, and an expression like crying and laughing appeared on his face.

"Isn't this a dream? Those more than 20 years may not be a dream...... It's really interesting, in those more than 20 years of life, my name is also Zhu Da...... I'm Juda, and I'm alive! His tone grew firmer.

After clarifying "who I am", Zhu Da's state of mind has calmed down a lot, and the mood of panic and confusion is still there, but he has time to observe and recall.

The room is very poorly lit, there is no furnishings, the smell is not very good, the standard poor people's residence, of course, is no stranger to these Zhu Da, he has lived here for ten years, but babies and children are confused, even if they see and hear, they may not have any specific concepts, and now it is completely different.

Zhu Da sat on the bed, draped in a quilt full of puddings, and glanced at the small room, which originally attracted him the most was the wooden table where the food was placed, but now Zhu Da looked at the corner of the window, where there was a spear lying horizontally, the spear head was rusted, and the spear shaft also had traces of insect damage......

The family is from a military household, this Baibao Village is actually a hundred households fort in Datongwei, after a long time, the hundred households fort has become Baibao Village, the households here are all military households, everyone planted a military field of the guard, saying that it is for the country, in fact, it is for the thousand households and the command of the lord to do slave labor tenants.

What year is this? By the way, it should be during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, not long after Emperor Jiajing should be the emperor, Zhu Da heard it in a trance.

The parents' chats, the other people in the village talk, all contain all kinds of information, the children are carefree, heartless, and they don't pay attention when they hear it, but now Zhu Da understands a lot at once.

It turned out that he was in the border town during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Da suddenly regretted that he did not study history well in that life, he knew the Ming Dynasty, knew Jiajing, and knew Datong City, but everyone knew this, and the people of this era also knew that as long as they knew a little more, even a little bit, they might be able to change their lives, at least they could have a better life.

There were footsteps outside the door, and you could hear the woman's sobs and the man's sighs, Zhu Da, who was wandering in the world, was alarmed, he wanted to lie down and pretend to sleep, but it was not until this time that Zhu Da realized how sick he was, and he was sore and had no strength, so he could only rub back slowly, seeing that it was too late, he simply froze there and did not move.

"Son, you..... You live ..... Hello! The door was pushed open, and when he saw Zhu Da sitting on the bed, his mother's voice changed excitedly, and Zhu Da's father was also stunned, and the white cloth in his hand fell to the ground.

In this era, typhoid fever is a fatal disease for poor families, and the white cloth in my father's hand is afraid that it is used to wrap my body, and my father and mother think that they will die......

Zhu Da didn't dwell on these, he looked at his parents in front of him half cordially and half strangely, his father Zhu Shishi, and his mother Zhu Wangshi, both of whom were in their early thirties, but they looked like forty-year-olds, they had all the characteristics of poor people, their expressions were indifferent, and they seemed to be accustomed to suffering, but now they both had surprises on their faces, incredible surprises.

This is their own parents...... Daddy? The affection of the family, the care of the blood, Zhu Da is familiar with this feeling and strange, he has been lonely in his life for more than 20 years, and now, the twelve-year-old Zhu Da feels that everything is taken for granted, and there is no need to feel at all.

"Mother, father......" Zhu Da shouted out in a hoarse voice, and only after two words, he felt that tears flowed uncontrollably, and he had a home, which was a good feeling.

Zhu Da's voice made Zhu Shishi and Zhu Wangshi react, and her mother Zhu Wangshi was about to step forward in a hurry, but she stumbled and almost fell, her father Zhu Shishi beside her did not reach out to help, but leaned on the door frame, and the huge surprise impact of "coming back from the dead" made the two of them almost unbearable and behaved at a loss.

Mother Zhu Wangshi stabilized her body, hurriedly walked two steps to the earthen kang, pressed Zhu Da down, hurriedly covered the futon, stuffed the corners tightly, turned her head and shouted to her husband: "Close the door quickly, don't let Da'er suffer the wind!" He stumbled and stumbled, his voice was sharp, not to mention the tears flowing, but Zhu Wang's family didn't care about wiping it, he only held Zhu Da's face there and looked at it carefully, crying and laughing, very excited.

Over there, his father Zhu Shishi closed the door with trembling hands, took a deep breath, and then walked over to check. The only son, Zhu Da, was caught by a cold a few days ago, and soon fell into a fever and fell unconscious, and there was no way to borrow money to ask Lang Zhong to catch medicine, and last night he didn't even talk nonsense, and his breathing became weaker, and it even disappeared in the morning. After crying heartbreakingly, the two went out to borrow a few feet of white cloth, ready to wrap the child in a simple wrap and bury it, but they didn't expect to "come back from the dead".

There are many cases of serious illness and death or even fake death and then recovering, but I have also heard that at this moment, the Zhu family and his wife have no strange thoughts, just huge excitement and surprise. Seeing Dumiao, who was still weak but obviously recovered, the two were shocked and sighed, their mother Zhu Wangshi looked at Zhu Da, and her emotions couldn't be controlled, and her father Zhu Shishi did the same, constantly wiping his eyes and laughing.

Zhu Da is weak, but his mind is very active, this kind of family affection and care is very strange to him, he has not felt more than 20 years of life, if there is nothing in this ten years of life, he will soon be immersed in this feeling of being cared for and cared for, the original mentality is no longer a child, but at this time he followed the surprise and excitement of his parents, only felt that the shortcomings of life were filled, and tears flowed non-stop.

The family of three was crying and laughing, but Zhu Da was reminiscing about another life, when he saw the family affection of his colleagues and classmates, he always felt angina, subconsciously avoided it, and lost sleep at night. Now looking at the two parents who are overjoyed and happy in front of him, shouting at himself, and excited and helpless, Zhu Da's mood is high, he is not alone, he has parents and a home, it's so good! That's nice!

Zhu Da finally smirked, seeing his son laughing, Zhu Shishi and Zhu Wang's family were stunned at first, and then wiped their tears and smiled, and the whole family laughed.

In this emotional turmoil, Zhu Da vaguely thought of one thing, his surname is Zhu, and now he is Daming, which seems to have some connection, but this thought was immediately left behind by him, and he was excited and emotional, immersed in the love of his parents, who cares about anything else......
