Chapter 1: Reincarnation: Looking Back at the Emptiness
Wang Xu, male, 38 years old, marketing director of a company. When he was 16 years old, his parents died in an accident, and since then, he has relied on his uncle's help to earn money from his holiday job to barely finish high school and college. Since childhood, I have learned that people are warm and cold, and after graduating from college, I have promoted life insurance after entering the society. Worked as a bartender in a bar...... Eventually worked as a marketer. Yesterday I went to a bar with a few friends to celebrate my rise to the position of supervisor. A few people were drunk. In the middle of the night, when Wang Xu crossed the road and went home with vain steps, a truck rushed out of the corner, Wang Xu had never been in such a situation, his eyes were so frightened that his eyes were round, his pupils contracted rapidly, and his body of alcohol had already been shocked into a cold sweat, and he wanted to scream, but he was blocked in his throat and couldn't scream. "Bang" Wang Xu flew out like a ball, "How can I die!?" I finally squeezed out the competitors who peeked into my supervisor's position!! I haven't enjoyed the riches of the world yet!! I don't want to die......"
Hmm....my head hurts, like someone's dozens of needles pierced in the head, and the heart is piercing. Wang Xu barely opened his eyes, and what he saw was a young woman in her thirties with red eyes and a haggard face, sitting at the head of the bed, crying quietly. The pain hit strongly again, and Wang Xu fainted again, and the last sentence that flashed in his mind was "It's good to be alive......"
Consciousness is like floating on the boundless sea, and the discomfort from various organs in the body is constantly blurred into Wang Xu's mind, slowly waking up Wang Xu, the thin eyelids seem to weigh a thousand pounds, and he can't open them, forget it, if he can't open his eyes, then close them, Wang Xu thought lazily, but soon Wang Xu became frightened, and there were many memories in his mind that did not belong to him!! "Tamper with memories! It's not like in the movie being studied by a living person, right!?" Startled, Wang Xu opened his eyes suddenly, struggling to see his surroundings clearly.
"Wake up! Wake up! Madam! Master! Xiao Langjun [Note 1] is awake! ”
A delicate female voice came into the ear, standing at the head of the bed, the girl in the yellow broken Confucian skirt ran out of the house in surprise, and after a while, there was a rush of footsteps outside the house, and four or five people eagerly gathered around the bed, looking at Wang Xu with concern. The young woman she had seen before said with a crying voice and incoherent concern: "Pheasant! You're scared to death, where is the pain in your body? It's all because my mother didn't look for you! You're seriously ill......" Wang Xu was stunned for a while when he listened, first of all, the young woman didn't speak Mandarin, but like an impure Hokkien dialect. Secondly, the costumes of these people in front of the bed are also too ancient and weathered! A middle-aged man in front of the window looked at Wang Xu Muran's expression and said, "Okay! The pheasant is seriously ill and has just woken up, so don't be too noisy around! Xiao Ling, Anu, you two go out first, this is left with me and my wife, I will call you if there is something! Xiao Ling, Anu is also a clever middle-aged man who didn't answer after speaking, the two nodded, and quietly retreated. The middle-aged man looked at Wang Xu with a look of love and asked Wang Xu softly, "Pheasant! Still feeling sick there? Wang Xu couldn't bear to look at the young woman and the middle-aged man worried, Bian Qiang shook his head and said that his body was fine, and the young woman looked at Wang Xu and shook his head to say that his body was fine, and immediately turned her worries into joy, stood up and said, "Pheasant hasn't eaten all day!" I'm going to make some rice porridge with Xiao Ling. With that, he hurried out of the house. The middle-aged man sat at the head of the bed, and when he learned that Wang Xu was fine, although his face was full of concern, he didn't know how to express it, but he just reached out and touched Wang Xu's forehead, and sighed: "I owe it to the ancestors!" Wang Xu also took the opportunity to close his eyes to read the memory that did not belong to him.
Yang Jia, nicknamed Pheasant, fifteen years old, ancestral home of Xuzhou Langxie, now lives in Wuxing County, Yangzhou, Lin'an County...... Thinking about it, Wang Xu was suddenly surprised! "Xuzhou! Yangzhou! Isn't this an ancient place name! Coupled with the costumes of a few people just now, I actually crossed "Although Wang Xu likes to watch time-traveling novels and time-traveling TV series on weekdays, this does not mean that Wang Xu wants to travel by himself!" Lying on the bed in a daze, he continued to flip through the memory. It turned out that Yang Jia, the owner of this body, was seriously ill a few days ago and was unconscious, and the Yang family blew up and down! invited Lang Zhong to treat the disease, Lang Zhong just prescribed a few decoctions, and then shook his head and left. Mother Yang is the young woman, she was so frightened that she fainted when she saw Lang Zhong's expression, and Father Yang was also anxious like an ant on a hot pot, the grandfather of the Yang family has been passed down from generation to generation, if Yang Jia has an accident and breaks the incense, it is needless to say that he is not filial to his ancestors! I also bear the pain of losing a child in middle age! However, today Yang Jia turned from a coma to a sober one, which can be said to be a clear sight for the Yang family! The Yang family's courtyard, which has been suppressed for a long time, seems to be a little angry! This situation is good news for everyone, and it is the greatest luck for Wang Xu! Although he crossed over, he took the opportunity to pick up a life, thinking of this, Wang Xu couldn't help but sigh, what exists is the truth, so be it! After all, I can continue to live in another world! It's just that I will never see my only relative uncle again!
After a while, Mother Yang came in with a bowl of warm rice porridge, and sat at the head of the bed full of love and pity to feed Wang Xu, Wang Xu looked at the smoke and dust on Yang's mother because of the porridge sticking to her face, plus the haggard face created by staying up late for several days in order to take care of Wang Xu. I don't know if it's because of himself or Yang Jia, Wang Xu felt full of guilt, and his heart was sour, and he couldn't help crying! Mother Yang saw her pheasant crying, thinking that Yang Jia's body was in pain! I didn't care about feeding the porridge, so I cried out while holding Wang Xu's hand, and Father Yang was also frightened by Wang Xu's tears, and asked in a panic: "Pheasant, where is it uncomfortable?" Wang Xu shook his head and said with difficulty: "The pheasant is not filial, so that his father and mother are frightened!" Mother Yang heard it and said with tears in her eyes: "As long as you are a pheasant, what is this tiredness!" ”
After eating the porridge, Yang's father and Yang's mother went back to their rooms to rest, and the girl in the yellow broken skirt stayed in Wang Xu's room to take care of it. Wang Xu took the opportunity to look at the room he was in, the room was very small, only about ten square meters, and there was only a table more than 20 centimeters high [Note 2] in the room, with an oil lamp on top of the table, a mat under the table, and a bed on which he was lying.
'Looks like it's really crossed!' ’
After looking at the room where he slept, Wang Xu had to admit with a wry smile the fact that he had crossed, and he was still holding a trace of luck before, but now all kinds of signs have made Wang Xu reluctant to accept his fate!
"Where blessings and misfortunes lurk, and where misfortunes and blessings depend. As the old saying goes, since the status quo is already like this, let's live in a new environment! Wang Xu sighed silently in his heart.
was already sick and bedridden, coupled with such a toss today, drowsiness kept coming, Wang Xu couldn't help it anymore, and fell asleep under the gaze of the girl in the yellow broken skirt.
The girl saw that Wang Xu was asleep, so she got up and tiptoed to clean up the house, and then lay on the head of the bed and looked at Wang Xu, for a long time, the girl couldn't stay up and fell asleep.

[Note 2] During the Wei and Jin dynasties, high tables and chairs, like those we use now, were not yet popular. At that time, people wrote and read books and knelt at the table.
