Chapter 001: Not Dead

Ming Dynasty, Jiajing period, Guixi County, Guangxin Prefecture, Jiangxi Province.

A clean-looking, medium-sized young man in his early twenties sat on the morgue with a blank face, and what he saw in his eyes seemed to be real. He didn't say a word, trying to find a reasonable answer from it. As for the ancient clothes he was wearing, he was very surprised at the beginning and gradually accepted it.

Since sunrise and sunset, he has barely moved, neither drinking nor eating. The two memories that began to merge told him a brutal but true answer, and that was that he was dead. For some reason, his soul traveled from the 21st century to the Ming Dynasty and was possessed here.

He was originally born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine, and his ancestors have many Xinglin national players. Since the last century, although there has never been a single Xinglin national player in the family for several generations, the glory of the sunset no longer exists, but the clan has never died. Even if none of them can be proud of their peers and enjoy a good reputation in China, they all firmly believe that there will be people emerging in future generations.

From the moment he landed in this world, his grandparents and fathers had high hopes for him. Ever since he had been babbling, they had been cultivating them with the intention of making a difference. When he was seven years old, he followed his father and grandfather and began to look, smell, ask, and cut the patients who came to him. And the talent he showed since he was a child made everyone in the family very satisfied. They have always believed that he has what it takes to become an Axinglin national player in the future.

But people are not as good as heaven, and the opposite thing is that when he reached the age of eighteen, when he filled in the college entrance examination volunteer, he hid from his family that he did not fill in the best Chinese medicine university in the country on the first choice, but wrote the best meteorological university in the country. When the admission notice came, his grandfather saw that it was not Beijing University of Chinese Medicine but Nanjing Institute of Meteorology, and he immediately fainted.

His family was both soft and hard for him, and he gave up his bitter request, but he was desperate to pay for it, and he had to study meteorology. They knew that he had a very strong temperament, and they were also worried that there would be an irreparable tragedy, so they had to retreat. However, their compromise was conditional, and that was to ask him not to let go of the Chinese medicine he had studied. Full of promises, he reached an agreement with his family.

Bachelor's, master's, and until work. He is about to stand in the year of his own strength, and he is outstanding in the China Meteorological Administration, and he can be said to have grown from a staff member to a person in charge of the department in the direction of studying urban meteorology and agricultural meteorology. He had a bright future, but unexpectedly flew into a catastrophe and died in a particularly serious traffic accident.

"Gong ...... Childe, are you a human or a ghost? Zhao Tian'er, who knelt beside the brazier on her knees, finally mustered up her courage, her face was full of horror, and she asked timidly.

Li Wenxuan, who was sitting on the morgue, focused his eyes on her at once, and replied in a non-questioning tone: "Of course it's a person." ”

Zhao Tian'er, who was twenty-eight years old, still couldn't believe what he said: "That day, the son was completely out of breath!" How did you come back to life today? ”

Li Wenxuan, who stood up slowly, first felt that his body was very stiff, and he couldn't help but start moving his hands and feet. He didn't answer Zhao Tian'er's question directly, and asked rhetorically: "Then do you want me to be alive or dead?" ”

"Of course I hope Childe is alive." Zhao Tianer, who didn't think about it, suddenly blurted out with a bright look in her eyes and an unusually firm tone.

Li Wenxuan, who took off and jumped three times, especially understood her mood and thoughts at this time, after all, a dead person suddenly came back to life, and it was absolutely impossible not to let others be strange and afraid. He knew that he didn't belong to fake death, otherwise he wouldn't have come to this place inexplicably. Nowadays, there are only two ways to say that you are like this, one is called borrowing a corpse to return the soul, and the other is called defrauding the corpse.

Li Wenxuan, who walked towards her, intended to dispel the other party's suspicion and fear, and said with a smile: "Since I am a living person, then you don't have to continue to kneel and burn paper money for me." If you fill the house with smoke and dust, it will smell strange. Furthermore, you should have heard that there is no shadow of the dead, and my shadow is still at my feet, which means that I am still alive. ”

After hearing his words, Zhao Tian'er suddenly realized, and the shadow of her son-in-law with her eyes was revealed in the afterglow of the setting sun. The doubts and fears in her heart disappeared in an instant. Zhao Tian'er, who suddenly stood up, cried with joy, and the humility that she had forgotten for a while threw herself directly into Li Wenxuan's arms.

Li Wenxuan, who was a little at a loss, had to comfort: "Don't cry, I'm not dead yet." ”

It's okay that he wasn't comforted, and this comfort made Zhao Tian'er cry louder and louder. In these short two or three days, the grievances she had suffered were vented bit by bit along with the crying. A moment ago, Zhao Tianer couldn't buy a good coffin for Li Wenxuan and blamed herself deeply. At this moment, she saw that he was not dead, so she was so excited that she couldn't help herself.

In this interval, Li Wenxuan's eyes looked around the furnishings in the room and found that it was already empty. In his memory, although his family is in the middle of the road, it is not as good as before, but it has not ended up to this point. He vaguely remembered that there should be several servants and some family members at home.

In order to make a clear Li Wenxuan, he quickly remembered the name of the girl in his arms and asked, "Tian'er, what's going on in this house?" What about things and people? ”

Zhao Tian'er stopped crying, let go of her hands, wiped the tears on her face with her right hand, and stated indignantly: "They are a group of people who have lost their hearts and livers, and they didn't think about the kindness of the son to them at all, but took advantage of the death of the son, so they couldn't wait to rummage through the cabinets, find out their respective contracts of sale, and take advantage of the fire to rob and move all the valuable things in the house." Tian'er was useless, and she couldn't stop them at all, so she had to watch them act recklessly. ”

Li Wenxuan, who had no momentum at all, really didn't care about those things outside his body, after all, he could be lost and recovered. At present, I am most glad that the Chinese people have the custom of mortuary for three days and then buried, otherwise there will be no way to return to heaven. If he really lies down in the graveyard, even if he wakes up, he will die a second time due to suffocation.

Li Wenxuan looked at the sixteen-year-old girl in front of him, and then at his own shabby mourning hall, and knew that she had done her best. Turning around, Zhao Tian'er, who had her back to him, carefully took out her deed of sale from her arms, and then turned around with a red face, and handed it out with both hands. I don't know what it is, Li Wenxuan, who reached out and took it, read it roughly, and then tore the deed of sale in his hand to shreds, crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the brazier.

"Childe, what are you ......" Zhao Tian'er, who never expected him to do this, said with a little puzzlement in her eyes.

"From now on, you don't have to call me Gongzi anymore, and you are no longer my slave." Li Wenxuan, who looked directly at her with both eyes, had her pure and lovely little appearance printed in his eyes, and said seriously: "How old am I older than you, so how about you and I become brother and sister?" ”

Zhao Tian'er, who flashed her big eyes, did not happily agree, but behaved hesitantly. Li Wenxuan is sincerely willing to recognize her as a sister, after all, everyone here has run away, but she has not run. Zhao Tianer not only ran away with her belongings, but also set up this simple mourning hall for herself and returned the deed of sale. It is not difficult for him to think of the slaves and maids who found the deed of sale without permission, and took advantage of their own death to forge the certificate of dissolution of the master-servant relationship, and bought off the officials of the government to become free men. As for Zhao Tianer's sincerity, he must give her back her free body. Therefore, Li Wenxuan will definitely go to the yamen as soon as possible to cancel her status as a slave.

"Presumably, Childe must be hungry. Tian'er is going to get you something to eat. Zhao Tian'er, who had been silent for a long time, smiled slightly.

She doesn't say it, she doesn't feel it yet. Zhao Tian'er's words made Li Wenxuan really feel hungry, after all, he had not eaten water and rice for almost three days. He believed that the two of them would still be together for a long time, and he didn't have to ask her to give a positive answer, so he nodded and watched her turn away.

Li Wenxuan, who sat back on the morgue, understood that he could no longer use the name of his previous life, and whether he could go back was still a big question mark that could not be solved. Since God has given him a second life, he must cherish it. The most important thing at the moment, in addition to sorting out some things, is to find ways to live well with Zhao Tianer.

Li Wenxuan, who began to memorize and comb his mind, knew that the original owner of this body was a Xiucai at the age of fifteen, and was once favored by all parties, but he failed in the township examination in the future. After failing the list for the third time, he was under tremendous physical and mental pressure, but he met the Lin family, who had been married to him since he was a child, and came to ask for divorce.

And he, who has never met Miss Lin family, neither covets the Lin family's money nor counts on the Lin family's connections, but he wants to maintain the dignity of himself and the Li family, after all, it is extremely humiliating for the woman to take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage. He was reluctant in his heart, so he refused the Lin family's request in one bite. As for the so-called compensation in the Lin family's mouth, he regarded it as a fart.

The Lin family, which was originally a little-known local family, has been smooth sailing in recent years, and has become a well-known local family. The old couple of the Lin family saw that this future son-in-law not only had a very small family background, but also failed one after another, so they quietly sent someone to Longhu Mountain. The Taoist priest they invited was to calculate a hexagram for him. The Taoist priest said that he was blessed and did not have the life of an official.

The old couple of the Lin family, who believed it to be true, had already had another plan, so they made up their minds to dissolve the marriage contract that the two families had reached. In the process, they had to say a lot of very nasty things to them. He couldn't get angry for a while, and as soon as his eyes rolled white, he died directly.
