Donghai City, Nanfeng District, Shaning Town, in a second-hand grocery store.

Lin Xu was half-squatting, his hand gently grinding the small object in his hand.

It's an hourglass with an old air to it.

On each side of the hourglass is a colored translucent glass ball, connected by a rusty iron pipe band.

The colored hourglass contains fine pieces of sand.

Lin Xu turned the hourglass upside down, and saw that grains of sand, like water in the sky, were endless, slowly but firmly falling on another glass ball.

It also fell on Lin Xu's heart!

Lin Xu involuntarily gave birth to a love for this second-hand hourglass in his heart, and also gave birth to a heart of possession.

Some men in this world like games, some like movies, some like women, and so on, but Lin Xu prefers these little things with a mysterious color.

However, his financial ability is limited, so he can only buy these bargains, and he can be relieved.

Lin Xu stood up, cast his gaze on the middle-aged fat man in front of him wearing white short sleeves and a Mediterranean hairstyle, and asked calmly, "Boss, how much is this thing?" ”

"Little brother, you have a good eye, you picked a good baby in my store at a glance." The middle-aged fat man grinned, showing his teeth blackened by tobacco, wine and tea, and said, "I bought this thing from Europe." In this way, I will earn a hard-earned money and collect three hundred from you. “

Lin Xu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, his eyes swept around the second-hand store, and he just happened to see a copy of "World Fairy Tales" on the bookshelf attached to the wall.

The book was sallow on paper, and there was a large black stain on the cover.

Needless to say, this is also a second-hand item.

Lin Xu pointed to the book and smiled at the boss, "Plus that book, boss, a hundred yuan!" ”

"No! No way! A hundred dollars, I don't even have to make any money. Besides, the book is four or five hundred pages, and the genuine version is more than 100 pages. Little brother, you're so good at business! The middle-aged fat man shook his head desperately, and after a pause, he said, "That's it, I see that you really want to buy it, so I'll sell it to you for 50 yuan cheaper and 250 yuan!" The lowest price! ”

You're two hundred and five, your whole family is two hundred and five! Hearing this price, Lin Xu vomited in his heart for the middle-aged fat boss, but he still maintained that decent smile on his face.

He took out his small wallet from his trouser pocket, and from the black-brown wallet, he pulled out a new red bill.

It was a hundred-dollar bill he had just taken out of the bank's ATM.

Lin Xu handed it to the middle-aged fat boss and said sincerely and seriously, "Boss, a hundred yuan!" If I can, I'll buy it! No, I'll go to another house. ”

"It's really not good, little brother, I won't make any money for a hundred yuan......" The middle-aged fat boss said with a wry smile.

Lin Xu didn't say a word, put the hourglass on the table, turned around and left.

One step, two steps, three steps......

Seeing that Lin Xu was about to walk out of the store, the middle-aged fat man finally shouted, "A hundred yuan is a hundred yuan, and I will sell it to you." ”

Lin Xu, who was facing away from the middle-aged fat boss, showed a smug smile on his face, and in an instant, he turned into that plain appearance again, turned around, walked to the boss, handed him a hundred yuan, and then picked up the hourglass and the "World Fairy Tales" one by one!

The middle-aged fat boss had a heartache on his face, and said with a wry smile, "Little brother is good at bargaining!" I'm really not making money at all. I'll take care of it next time. “

Lin Xu just smiled and nodded, if the boss of this order didn't make money, he wouldn't believe it.

In this world, just listen to what the boss says, otherwise you will starve to death if you see too many painted pies!

"Good! Would you like to get a bag for you? The middle-aged fat boss asked again.

"No need. Thank you! Lin Xu said politely, and then took the two items, and walked out of the second-hand grocery store briskly with a little excitement.

He couldn't wait to go home and play with the stained-glass hourglass.

As for the "World Fairy Tales", it is just an addition.

Walking to the zebra crossing on the side of the road, Lin Xu looked up and saw that he had just jumped to the green light, swept left and right, and there were no vehicles.

So Lin Xu raised his leg and left.

While walking, Lin Xu looked at the glass hourglass in his hand.

The more he looked, the more Lin Xu liked it, and the more he was fascinated.

"Ahh

Suddenly, a woman's scream next to her came into Lin Xu's ears.

"What's going on?" Lin Xu raised his head curiously, and then saw that a black sedan was infinitely approaching in his sight.

Dangerous!

Lin Xu's pupils shrank suddenly, and his whole person was hit by the black car, and the whole person flew seven or eight meters away, fell to the ground, and blood flowed out from under him.

The black sedan stopped, and out of it came a sweaty man in a suit.

He looked at Lin Xu, who was bleeding continuously, his face was as pale as paper, and he looked at a loss.

"Ah......h

"Call an ambulance!"

"Call the police!"

Other pedestrians also saw this scene and shouted one after another.

The whole scene was in chaos.

And all this has nothing to do with Lin Xu.

When the car hit him, he felt only a sharp pain for a moment, and then he didn't feel anything at all.

For him, it was as if the whole world had slowed down.

In the face of death, he had no fear at all, he felt like a passerby, without sorrow or joy.

The temperature of his body was gradually draining, and he just watched the scene in front of him with wide eyes.

Blood was randomly depicting patterns on the ground, and the two things that Lin Xu had just bought were scattered not far in front of him, eroded by his blood.

Lin Xu watched as his blood slowly seeped into the stained glass ball on the hourglass.

I don't know if it's his illusion, Lin Xu felt that the hourglass was glowing.

The light was getting brighter and brighter, filling all of Lin Xu's sights.

Lin Xu's world is full of light.

In the next moment, Lin Xu completely lost consciousness.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Lin Xu felt that he was constantly falling.

It's dark all around!

Suddenly, a bright light appeared underneath.

The bright light shrouded Lin Xu.

Lin Xu suddenly found that his consciousness had recovered again.

A sore pain came from his whole body, Lin Xu couldn't help but moan, his eyes naturally opened, and he was greeted by a dark gray ceiling wall.

"Is this a hospital? Isn't the ceiling of the hospital white? Lin Xu muttered, and then found that the words he said were not the Chinese he was very familiar with, nor the English and Japanese he was familiar with, but a strange language.

He turned his head to look left and right.

The place he was in now was a slightly darkened room.

There is only a small window in the high wall, from which the light and wind come from.

A tall brown boxy table, two chairs with backrests, and a few grayish-yellow candle-like objects were the few daily necessities in this room.

"Where is this?" Lin Xu's voice rose a little, with a hint of panic in his tone.

"Knock...... Boom! At this moment, there was a sudden knock at the door, "Master William, it's me." “

It was the same strange language, but on the contrary, Lin Xu understood the meaning of its expression.

With a creak, the door opened, and a man dressed in black with a somewhat sad face walked in, he looked to be about fifty years old.

"Master William, are your injuries getting better?" The man with a sad face glanced at Lin Xu and asked.

Lin Xu looked at the sad man in confusion, not knowing what he was talking about, he was not William, he was Lin Xu.

The man with a sad face looked at Lin Xu's appearance, the wrinkles on his face were one more, the distress in his eyes flashed, and then said, "Young Master William, Young Master Andrew is deeply loved by the Grand Duke, and the Grand Duke will not administer justice for us." Let's bear with it. “

The man with a sad face was babbling, but Lin Xu was completely confused.

He shouted at the sad-faced man, "Who are you?" I'm not William, I'm Lin Xu. ”

But he didn't want to, Lin Xu was in a hurry for a while, Chinese was mixed with this strange language, and the words he said were messy, and he couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

When the man with a sad face heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward, held Lin Xu's hand, and asked with concern, "Young Master William, what's wrong with you?" Young Master Andrew's shot was too heavy. ”

Lin Xu was in a hurry to say it now, the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't speak, the more he couldn't speak, the more anxious he became, and his head began to hurt.

The man with a sad face held his hand, Lin Xu had a conditioned reflex, and with a gentle push of his hand, a strong force came out, and the man with a sad face was pushed three or four meters away, pushed to the door of the room, and fell to the ground.

"How so?" Lin Xu looked at his hand suspiciously, obviously he only issued the command "Gently shake the strength of your hand" in his mind just now, how could that man with a sad face be pushed so far by him?

A pair of calloused hands.

But not his hands!

Lin Xu's eyes widened, "This is not my hand!" ”

He suddenly groped his body like crazy, and under his clothes, there was the power of the explosion, two pectoral muscles, six abdominal muscles, clearly visible, and extremely strong.

And Lin Xu's original body, because he didn't exercise for a long time, six muscles were trained by him into one.

It's not his body either.

Lin Xu, who came to this conclusion, was in a state of confusion, and suddenly bounced up from the bed and stood on the ground.

His gaze scurried around the room and saw a basin of water on the table.

He rushed to the basin with one lunge.

Leaning forward, the water reflected his present appearance—blonde hair, slender eyebrows, turquoise eyes, a high nose, and thin lips.

The combined appearance still looks a little handsome.

It's just that Lin Xu's eyes became even more panicked, this is not what he looks like!

"Who am I? Am I not Lin Xu? So who is this man? William? Where did William go? In an instant, all kinds of chaotic questions poured out at once, and Lin Xu only felt a headache, as if he was about to explode.

He held his head, his face was wrinkled, and after a miserable scream, Lin Xu fainted.

The man with a sad face had been paying attention to Lin Xu's situation, and seeing this, he eagerly rushed to Lin Xu's side and carried him to the bed.

"Master William...... Master William...... Young Master William, wake up quickly......" The man with a sad face gently shook Lin Xu's body and shouted incessantly.

A few minutes passed.

Lin Xu let out a weak moan from his mouth, then his eyes slowly opened, and he said helplessly, "John, I'm fine, but if you shake it again, I'll really be fine!" “

"Master, you're awake! You're finally awake, haha...... That's great! Master, I'm so happy! When the man with a sad face heard Lin Xu's voice, his body was stunned for a moment, and then he became ecstatic, and said a little incoherently.

"Hmm." Lin Xu hummed lightly, but there was a little bitterness in his heart.

In the past few minutes of coma, Lin Xu's consciousness absorbed the memory of this person named William, knew the name and identity of the sad man next to him, and also knew the current environment he was in, and most importantly, he was sure of one thing.

That's - he crossed!

In his previous life, he died, and his soul traveled to this boy named William.

"Since Lin Xu is dead, then I will be called William in this life!" Lin Xu, or William, said secretly in his heart.
