Chapter 3: Xiaobai's Past and Present Life

When he regained consciousness again, Xiaobai's body seemed to have been trampled by thousands of war horses, and there was pain everywhere on his body, but he couldn't tell where the pain was. The clothes are small, the shoes are small, and the hands are stretched out—a pair of petite snow-white hands, and this body is still a child.

Xiaobai was taken a big jump by himself, which was weirdly hairy, his body shivered, and he couldn't say a word. All the things he had experienced in the past week quickly melted into his memory, and when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that just now, before lying down in that metal box, Cao Luozi seemed to shout something, and he really didn't hear it clearly......

All this appeared in Xiaobai's mind one by one in an instant, making his thinking more and more confused, and what made Xiaobai feel even more frightened was that there seemed to be something more in his memory, and there seemed to be something missing. It's like I've just watched a VR panoramic 3D costume TV series with a strong sense of reality, surrounded by antique environments and characters, both Chinese and Western, and completely substituting myself into the plot of the characters in the play, but the next second, it seems that I was originally living in this quaint era, and those modern high-rise buildings, airplanes, cars, etc. are like whimsy in dreams.

Two memories of different times, different spaces, and different identities slowly merged, and Xiaobai slowly figured out his situation.

Consciousness can be transmitted, and the specific time and location of time and space can be accurately determined, and even to specific key people. But it is clear that his appearance is a mistake, and his consciousness is transmitted to a small child, and this child has no background, no backing, and even his identity is extremely embarrassing - he is an illegitimate child.

According to Xiaobai's understanding, his identity is actually pitiful and pathetic. It is now the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong just ascended the throne a few years ago, his mother's surname is Liu, living in Guangzhou, his maternal grandfather is a teacher in the city, has a small courtyard of private school, knowledgeable, famous, the governor of Liangguang has been invited many times, but the nature is rigorous, pretentious, refused the high salary of the governor's palace, concentrate on teaching and educating people in the city, keep the poverty, father and daughter depend on each other, but also free. Miss Liu's appearance is not outstanding, only five or six points of beauty, but she has read a lot of books since she was a child, and naturally has a natural scholarly temperament.

A few years ago, Miss Liu was molested at the Lantern Festival, Xiaobai's biological father helped, the two fell in love at first sight, and after several times, they were secretly knotted.

Xiaobai's biological father's surname is Zhu, named Dashuo, is a maritime merchant, although he is a Han Chinese, but he is not a Qing people, only the ancestors to avoid the war in the Ming Dynasty, the family moved south, crossed the South Seas, and created a large family business in overseas Banten. Zhu Dashuo and Miss Liu are unmarried and unmarried, and they are happy with each other and have a secret knot.

The Zhu family seems to be a big family, Zhu Dashuo is the eldest son of the long house, marrying a wife and establishing a house is a big deal after all, and there is something wrong with a private life, and the old master Liu has a weak temperament and a rigorous family style, and the lifelong event always has to be married to the media to meet the wishes of both parties, Zhu Dashuo is anxious to return home immediately, leaving a piece of phoenix jade pendant, and the middle was originally engraved with four sentences taken out of context from Li Bai's "Dengjinling Phoenix Terrace" "Wu Palace flowers and plants are buried in the path, and the Jin Dynasty is dressed as an ancient mound." The three mountains are half in the blue sky, and the two waters are divided into Egret Island. "Divide the jade pendant in two, and think it is a token. wanted to return to his hometown to ask for the consent of the Zhu family chief, and came to ask for relatives in person to show his sincerity.

Miss Liu is very willing, but when she heard that it would take four months to go back and forth at the earliest, she couldn't help but feel disappointed. Thinking of the old father's strict family style, he couldn't help but be frightened, but he just urged Zhu Dashuo to go early and return early. Zhu Dashuo has not heard from him for more than half a year, but Miss Liu's stomach is becoming more and more pregnant, and when she was finally discovered by Liu Fuzi, she was naturally furious and asked in every possible way, but Miss Liu just bit her mouth and didn't answer, and Liu Fuzi was helpless. Eleven months later, Xiaobai was born, and according to the family typesetting left by Zhu Dashuo, he was named Zhu Junyi, and his milk name was Yuer.

Having a child out of wedlock was nothing in Xiaobai's original time and space, but it was a great sin in this time and space. Miss Liu's family gave birth out of wedlock, Miss became a lady, many good people in the neighborhood were suspicious and insulting, and there were even more jealous people who secretly ruined their reputations. Miss Liu lost her support, but she still firmly believed that there must be a reason why Zhu Dashuo did not return for a long time, and took in a few poor homeless children.

When Zhu Junyi was four years old, his biological mother Liu worked hard all day long, was malnourished, and couldn't afford to be sick, and finally died a few months later.

The kind-hearted neighbors scraped together a few pennies, rolled a mat and a dirt pit, and the Liu family set up a grave outside the city. Zhu Junyi is also still angry, a four-and-a-half-year-old child begging for everything, eating bran and vegetables, but he does not forget to study and continues to stay in the private school. Most of the children taken in by the Liu family ran away, leaving only one child named Gao Sheng, who stayed with Zhu Junyi for his life.

A few months ago, four big men who advertised themselves entered the Liu's house, it is said that they came from Nanyang, and they were ordered by the son of the Zhu family to pick up Young Master Sun back to Nanyang, Zhu Junyi was not afraid of life at a young age, and he also had some wisdom, recalling the appearance of his father described by his mother and checking them one by one, his name, family background, and age were all matched, Zhu Junyi was a child after all, and he was overjoyed and carried away when he was confirmed. called Gao Sheng and asked him to go with him to his biological father.

Gao Sheng is six years older than Zhu Junyi, originally a nameless, lonely and helpless stray baby, was taken in and raised by Miss Liu for nearly four years, although stuffy, but is a kind of temperament, after the Liu family changed, the other children gave up Zhu Junyi to beg for a living, only Gao Sheng stayed to take care of Zhu Junyi, regarded himself as a brother, and maintained it in every way, even if it was begging, he mostly went, leaving Zhu Junyi at home, and his name was "housekeeping". The relationship between the two little brothers is naturally deep, and now Zhu Junyi has a biological father to take refuge in, Gao Sheng has an inferiority complex, and he doesn't want to go with him, Zhu Junyi is young, but he is precocious and old, a few warm words, a few heartfelt tears changed Gao Sheng's mind, the two brothers happily packed up their things, closed the door and followed the four big men on a big ship.

The things behind can be described as a peak and a turn, the ship is on the sea, drifting for more than half a month, suddenly encountered a pirate, four big men are fierce, it turned out to be an undercover agent of the pirate, the whole ship of merchants killed and robbed, Zhu Junyi was taken out of the crowd, Gao Sheng rushed up to rob people, was knocked over by the pirate, kicked into the back cabin, and never came up again.

When the pirate lifted the steel knife and was about to raise the knife against Zhu Junyi, a thunderbolt broke out on a sunny day, and a lightning bolt fell from the sky, which was slashing at Zhu Junyi's head, and he fell unconscious on the deck. The pirates thought they had offended the goddess of the sea, so they were so frightened that they were about to scatter the ship, and before leaving, they killed all the people on board, and threw seven or eight torches on the ship with the intention of destroying the corpses, so they disappeared into the sea on the pirate ship carrying the booty.

Recalling the experience of being a human being in two lives, Xiaobai was shocked and frightened, the lightning at the critical moment, maybe it was his consciousness that found a fatal time to "download" Zhu Junyi's body.

"What is this? Is it a ghost who borrows the corpse to resurrect the soul? Or is this Zhu Junyi carrying my consciousness? So the 'me' who controls this body now, is it Zhu Junyi or the original 'me'? Could it be that this is what Madman Cao calls the transmission of consciousness through the channel? So where is the soul of this body? Is the child named Zhu Junyi still there? ”

Thinking of this, Xiaobai's head was torn by sharp pain, these two completely different experiences and feelings tore at his memory and cognition, so that he could no longer distinguish what his reality was, his consciousness seemed to be bound by some unknown force, and the more he tried to think about it, the more empty his mind became.

Looking through the palm of your hand, the white clouds in the clear blue sky spread in all directions like snow-white silk, and the red sun in the distance stood tens of thousands of kilometers above the clouds, and the blazing sun seemed to shine on the sea like a flame. In fact, Xiaobai is now on the deck of an antique Chinese sailing ship, and it is surrounded by flames. There is no doubt that it will not be long before Xiaobai sinks to the bottom of the sea with the flame-destroyed ship to feed the fish, even if he is not burned to death.

Xiaobai carefully checked his body, he was wearing a very ordinary dress, the outside was a cotton-lined gown, I don't know what kind of clothes it was, his hair was scattered and messy, and there was a smell of burning, his face was very hot, like a fever, and when he touched it with his hand, it was black, as if a layer of black at the bottom of the pot was oozing.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, of course Xiaobai didn't want to die, even if it was a dream, he didn't want to be burned to death in such a place in the dream, so he got up from the deck and looked everywhere for anything that could save him.

The sails of the ship have been burned out, the mast and deck are raging fires, there is a pile of large wooden barrels stacked on the side of the ship, and there are more than a dozen corpses dressed in Qing Dynasty costumes, covered in knife wounds, several dead bodies even poured into the fire, the scorching smell stimulates Xiaobai's sense of smell, like the smell of barbecue, but it is very smelly, causing a burst of stomach to turn over the river and the sea.

Xiaobai didn't have that much time to study, dodging the flames and crossing the obstacles, the bow of the ship was empty, there was nothing, and the whole ship was left with no useful objects on the entire deck except for a few short knives and blood all over the stern. The door of the aft cabin is open, Gao Sheng should have died inside, Xiaobai did not go down, inherited Zhu Junyi's memory, and naturally inherited his feelings, and he didn't want to see Gao Sheng's tragic image, not to mention that the fire was very big, and there was not much time left for him.

Jumping into the sea? The sea is empty, you can't see the edge at a glance, it is impossible to call for help, and if you really jump, you will undoubtedly drown. Waiting for a boat to come to your rescue? I'm afraid that before the ship comes, the fireship under my feet will sink to the bottom of the sea if it is not burned clean.

Dizzy! Xiaobai had to rest on the side of an intact ship for the time being, but another question immediately came to mind - if this body died in this world, would I be able to return to the original time and space? It's like Nan Ke waking up in the original world like a dream? If I am just a transferred consciousness, then when this body dies, will my consciousness be scattered and I will die a hundred times?

These answers shocked Xiaobai, dare to bet? - Don't dare!

So what to do? What to do? What to do?
