Strange images flashed through the young man's mind, giving him a splitting headache.

It was a fragment of memory, a memory that did not belong to him.

The boy didn't know why this was happening, but he managed to open his eyes, and the first thing that caught his eye was a dark ceiling.

The boy rolled his eyes and looked around, and saw the same black wall, and on the wall hung a yellowed poster, which showed a woman in a cheongsam, and it was hand-painted, like a product of the Republic of China.

Further around, there was a dilapidated cabinet, several benches, a square table with a greasy glass-covered kerosene lamp, a broken inkstone, a greasy brush, and something resembling an account book.

"What age is it, and there are still people who use kerosene lamps and sell antiques!" The young man was pondering in his heart, but he heard another voice from the side:

"Xiaoqiang is awake, come here, Xiaoqiang is awake!"

In the next second, a swarthy and wrinkled face appeared in the young man's sight, he looked at the young man carefully, and immediately shouted: "Really awake, the person is not dead, go get a bowl of brown sugar water, maybe you can pick up a life!" ”

A moment later, someone came over with a broken porcelain bowl, and there was still some black soup in the bowl, and I couldn't help but say that it was all poured into the young man's mouth.

"Whether you can carry it or not depends on his creation!" Another voice rang out.

The boy felt that the bowl of brown sugar water was not sweet, and even had a bitter taste, obviously the quality of this brown sugar was not very good. Fortunately, the brown sugar water was hot, and a bowl of hot water in his stomach made his brain recover some clarity.

The countless memory fragments in his mind became clearer and clearer, and they gradually merged together, and the next second the boy suddenly realized that he had crossed over!

"I'm not dead, I'm crossing! It's 1929! I went back a hundred years. Realizing this, the boy's breathing began to become rapid.

Before the crossing, he worked as a professional athlete, a professional coach, a guest sports commentator, and later a professor at a sports university, and he is also a very famous one, and his research results in sports have a certain reputation even internationally.

And now, he has crossed over into a fifteen-year-old boy, and his current name is Chen Qiang.

The memories in his mind became more and more coherent and clearer, and he finally knew the life story of this young man named "Chen Qiang".

Chen Qiang's ancestral home is Jinan, Shandong, and his ancestors have been in and out of Jinshi, so the Chen family is also a scholarly family.

The Chen family has some family business in Jinan Province, which can be regarded as a large family, Chinese attach importance to education, and the family will naturally not be stingy with money for their children to study, so Chen Qiang entered Mongolian school at the age of three, and later went to primary school and middle school in the best school in Jinan.

According to the normal trajectory of life, after graduating from middle school, Chen Qiang will take the entrance examination for a university and then enter the society.

Who knows that when a man sits at home, evil comes from heaven.

In 1928, when Chen Qiang was fourteen years old, there was a horrific Jinan tragedy, Chen Qiang's family all died in the Jinan tragedy, and Chen Qiang happened to be in school at that time, and luckily escaped with a group of refugees after escaping from the city, all the way to Shanghai.

After coming to Shanghai, Chen Qiang was not deceived by traffickers to be sold as a coolie, nor did he become a pickpocketing party, but by virtue of his schooling and literacy, he became a newsboy, earning some subsistence money every day, and barely survived until 1929.

The income of the old poster boy was not much, and many times he could not even meet the needs of food and clothing. In order to earn more money and have enough to eat, Chen Qiang decided to change jobs, found a car dealership, and changed his career to become a rickshaw driver.

The rickshaw driver is very hard, but for Chen Qiang, who has experienced the destruction of his family, it is nothing to endure a little hardship. And he grew up in a wealthy family, he ate and drank well since he was a child, and there was no shortage of nutrition, coupled with the genes of Shandong Dahan, even if he was only fifteen years old, he was tall, and he seemed to have the strength to do this kind of cart pulling.

Some people may think that fifteen years old is still a child, and his hair has not grown, and pulling a rickshaw is even more fantastic. But in old China, pulling a rickshaw at the age of fifteen was nothing new.

Mr. Hu Shi once had an article called "Rickshaw Driver", which contained such a paragraph, in which the guest asked the driver how old he was, and the driver replied: "This year is sixteen, after three years of pulling the car, don't be suspicious." This means that the driver started pulling rickshaws at the age of thirteen. So a fifteen-year-old rickshaw driver was also a normal thing at that time.

It is more profitable to pull a car than to sell newspapers, and it is no problem for a family of three to pull rickshaws in old Shanghai. Unfortunately, Chen Qiang was very unlucky, and on the second day of becoming a rickshaw driver, he was hit by a car.

This is 1929, and those who can afford to buy a car are either rich or expensive. A dignitary or a foreigner who drives a car, even if he hits and kills a rickshaw driver, it is a white collision.

After all, the coachman is the lowest level of society. The old Shanghai patrol house will not care about the life and death of a rickshaw driver, not only that, but the driver who was hit will also be fully responsible, and people will not ask you for a repair fee, even if it is thankful, don't even think about things like porcelain.

was hit by a car, Chen Qiang lost half of his life at that time, and passed out in a coma, a poor person like a rickshaw driver naturally couldn't afford to hire a doctor and couldn't afford to go to the hospital, and he could only resign himself to fate when he was hit by a car. A kind colleague carried Chen Qiang back to the car dealership and waited for his death.

In recent years, there has been a shortage of soldiers, and there are more dead people thrown into the Huangpu River every day, not worse than Chen Qiang.

Then there was this scene of the professor of the University of Physical Education, after a bowl of inferior brown sugar was swallowed, the previous Chen Qiang had died, and now Chen Qiang has become the future professor of physical education.

……

The headache gradually lessened, and Chen Qiang's head became more and more sober, and he half-squinted his eyes, secretly observing everything around him.

"Did you really cross over? In 1929? Did I really come to 1929? This is the old Shanghai of the Republic of China? ”

At this moment, Chen Qiang still couldn't accept what he had crossed, and his mind was even more blank.

Confusion, helplessness, fear, anxiety...... All kinds of negative emotions hit like a spring, how Chen Qiang wished it was a dream, he only needed to open his eyes sharply to wake up from the dream.

Footsteps sounded, and a middle-aged man of about forty years old walked in, this person was not tall, slightly fat, and unlike the others, this person was wearing a long robe.

So far, the people Chen Qiang has seen are all short-dressed, they are all hard-working coachmen, and this middle-aged man is definitely not doing hard work, because he wears a long shirt.

When the people in the car dealership saw the man in the long shirt, they immediately gave way to the side, and their expressions were very respectful, obviously the man in the long shirt had status.

"The shopkeeper is back!" Some people even flattered each other to say hello.

With the title of "shopkeeper", Chen Qiang's memory also surfaced the information of this shopkeeper, this person's surname is Liu, and he is the big shopkeeper of this car dealership.

I only heard the shopkeeper Liu speak: "I just went to Gu Siye's place, Gu Siye is benevolent and righteous, saying that since it is the handle of our car dealership, we can't ignore it if we are hit and killed, let us take care of his aftermath." I heard that this kid has no relatives, he is a deflated man who has fled, this will save trouble, and you will find a place to bury him in a while, lest the violent corpse wilderness not even be able to save the whole corpse. Remember to dig the pit deeper, don't be dug out by wild dogs, this is something that Gu Siye personally ordered. ”

"Shopkeeper, Chen Qiang's kid is not dead." A voice sounded, and it was the person who had just fed Chen Qiang brown sugar water.

"Not dead yet? Didn't you say that when you pulled it back, you had more air and less air intake? I'm still alive! Shopkeeper Liu frowned, not deliberately cursing Chen Qiang to die early, but simply surprised.

"I just poured him a bowl of brown sugar water, this kid actually came back to life, and now it seems that he can't die." The man replied.

"Take me to see it." Shopkeeper Liu commanded, and within a few seconds, Chen Qiang's face appeared in his sight.

With a big forehead and small eyes, two mustaches on his mouth, a little pale, and a long shirt with a few greasy pieces, this shopkeeper Liu doesn't look like a decent person.

Shopkeeper Liu stared at Chen Qiang for a long time, and found that Chen Qiang was awake and conscious, so he said to himself: "It seems that this deflated san can't die, it's really lucky, he can still live after being hit by a car and flying so far." ”

Shopkeeper Liu said, and instructed the people around him: "Help him up and see if he can move!" ”

Immediately, someone stepped forward to help Chen Qiang sit up and move.

In fact, after the brown sugar was in the water that night, Chen Qiang became conscious, he was already able to move at that time, he was still lying in place, just because he couldn't accept the crossing for a while, and he couldn't accept this change in identity and living environment.

"Looks like you can't die! It's still a nuisance......" Shopkeeper Liu said to himself.

Chen Qiang was suddenly a little dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't die, but Shopkeeper Liu was quite disappointed, and he said that it was a "troublesome thing", this Shopkeeper Liu didn't seem to take human life seriously at all!

I only heard the shopkeeper Liu continue: "You deflated three, if you die, I don't worry that the owner of the car will come to find trouble, and the rich will not come to find bad luck." But now you're not dead, the car is mainly here to ask me for a repair fee, and I can't afford it! ”

Chen Qiang instantly understood what the "trouble" that Shopkeeper Liu was talking about.

This old Shanghai is so cruel, the poor have nowhere to reason, the rich and powerful hit a driver, not only do they not have to be responsible, but they have to pay for the cost of repairing the car. If Chen Qiang is knocked to death, it will be a dead account, and other dignitaries and nobles will not be able to compete with a dead person, how unlucky! But Chen Qiang is not dead, maybe people will really make Chen Qiang pay for car repairs, which is indeed a trouble for the car dealership.

At least in the eyes of most people, Chen Qiang's life is not as good as a bumper of a car.

I saw that the shopkeeper Liu sighed: "That's it!" Since you weren't hit by a car and died, it's your fate! This army is in chaos, Lord Yama won't accept you, you can live well after you are deflated. It's just that you can't do this job of pulling a cart! ”

"Why?" Chen Qiang asked subconsciously.

"If I keep you, then the owner of the car who hit you will find you and ask you to pay for the repair of the car, can you afford it? You can't afford to pay, and people still can't let my car dealer pay for it? It's a four-wheeled car, not my two-wheeled foreign car, and I can't buy a car even if I sell it! What do I pay for? So I can't stay in this little temple. If you're gone, it has nothing to do with my car dealership. Shopkeeper Liu said coldly.

In fact, Shopkeeper Liu is not sure whether the rich family will come to ask for money for car repairs, but Shopkeeper Liu knows that the person who can drive a car must not be able to offend. The so-called more is better than less, and driving Chen Qiang away must be a way once and for all. Moreover, there is no shortage of such a "underage coachman" under the shopkeeper Liu.

I saw Shopkeeper Liu wave his hand: "Okay, let's go quickly!" You can't stay in this business anymore, so find another business in the future! ”

Chen Qiang was stunned, and then understood that he was unemployed!

"I was fired on the first day of crossing!"
