Chapter 8: Evolution
"Uh, this ......" Zheng Bowen wanted to say, who are you this uncle, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back.
As soon as this man came in, he called out to my son, and it was obviously the "daddy" of the body he occupied. But Zheng Bowen is not the original owner after all. Although physiologically, the two must have a blood relationship that is thicker than blood, and as a modern person, after receiving many years of online texts, movies, and comics, the ability to accept such unbelievable things as soul piercing is relatively strong.
But psychologically, this enthusiastic man can still only be regarded as a stranger to him.
Zheng Bowen struggled a few times, but the other party hugged him too tightly, and he didn't know if it was because of this body, Zheng Bowen, who had just woken up, was a little weak and his brain was still a little groggy.
Maybe it was because she saw Zheng Bowen's uncomfortable appearance, and the young woman who came in with the middle-aged man said, "Okay, okay, master, you see Lele is out of breath." He just woke up, and you let him breathe. ”
"Oh, yes, yes! I forgot about it when I was excited! The shopkeeper Tong quickly let go of Zheng Bowen (for the convenience of the title, the name of the protagonist is uniformly used).
"Is the medicine fried, hurry up and bring it to Bowen, by the way, ask the kitchen to prepare something to eat, my son has been tossing for a day, I must be very hungry!" Shopkeeper Tong commanded loudly.
"Don't worry, master, the medicine has been fried, I personally went over to the kitchen and instructed that Bowen had just woken up, so it was better to eat a little light." The woman next to Cheap Daddy said with a smile.
She approached Zheng Bowen's bed and touched his head, "You are awake, but the master and I are frightened, don't move when you wake up, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare something for you to eat." ”
was touched and killed by a woman who was not a few years older than him, Zheng Bowen subconsciously hid back.
The woman was stunned for a moment when she saw Zheng Bowen's movements, but she didn't say anything, smiled at him, and turned around and walked out.
When she arrived at the door, as if she thought of something, the woman turned around again and said to Master Tong, "Okay, master, you let Bowen take a break, so many people are gathered here, and it won't help much, but it will add to the chaos." After a while, I will ask Xing'er to bring the medicine over, finish eating, let him rest early, and talk to you again when he is in better spirits tomorrow! ”
"Yes, Madame has a point." Shopkeeper Tong nodded, turned around and said a few words to Xing'er, and said hello to Zheng Bowen again, and then walked out with the woman.
A few people left the room, and the room that had been very crowded suddenly became empty, and only the girl named Xing'er was left in the room to accompany him.
It was only at this time that Zheng Bowen breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, he was nervous to death just now, especially because he subconsciously avoided the woman's hand and saw the surprised look in the woman's eyes.
At that time, Zheng Bowen was really worried about what he had exposed.
Through the observation of the costumes of several people, Zheng Bowen felt that he should be in an era similar to the Republic of China. During this period, although due to the invasion of foreign powers, the people's wisdom and knowledge improved. But if they really realize that they are resurrecting their souls through corpses, they will come from the present after a hundred years, and they will be burned to death as a heretic as described in the novel.
Not everyone can accept advanced behavior and consciousness, and if they are too different, they will only be regarded as crazy.
Fortunately, neither the cheap dad nor the woman who seemed to be a stepmother noticed his abnormality.
By this time the night had fallen silent, and Apricot got up and lit the candlesticks on the table, and the burning candles crackled in the somewhat dreary room.
Zheng Bowen looked at Xing'er, who was busy in the house, thought for a while, and said,
"Who's that, what's your name?"
Xing'er was about to go out to the kitchen to see if the medicine was fried, but when she heard Zheng Bowen shouting, she stopped.
"Young master, you called me?"
Seeing the little girl's dark eyes, she stared at herself very strangely. Zheng Bowen scratched his head in embarrassment, "What's your name, I broke my head and can't remember many things." ”
"Ahh Xing'er opened her mouth wide in surprise, "Master! She shouted, and was about to run out.
"Don't, don't scream!" Zheng Bowen was startled, quickly jumped off the bed, and stepped forward to cover Xing'er's mouth.
"Woo woo woo ......" Xing'er struggled a few times and then didn't move, and her hands no longer involuntarily wrapped around Zheng Bowen's arm.
Beauty in the arms, nephrite warm fragrance. Although the girl didn't use any cosmetics and perfumes, a mesmerizing girl's body fragrance still made Zheng Bowen feel a little trance.
"Don't tell my dad, I'm afraid he'll be worried, do you understand?" Zheng Bowen settled down and said in Xing'er's ear.
Apricot nodded imperceptibly.
Letting go of the apricots, the faint fragrance still lingered on the tip of the nose, in the era when Zheng Bowen lived, the great defense between the women, although it was not as feudal as it is now, but his family was poor and white, and no girls looked at him. Holding a woman or girl so intimately is the first time for Zheng Bowen.
His heartbeat sped up slightly, avoiding Xing'er's shy eyes, Zheng Bowen opened his mouth and asked, "Can you help me find a mirror?" ”
"Hmm!" Xing'er answered, and hurriedly turned around, this room is the layout of two rooms inside and outside, Zheng Bowen saw her out of the inner room, rummaged outside for a while, and soon came in with a palm-sized bronze mirror.
The shape of this bronze mirror is simple, and the back is still a maid's dressing shape, probably often used, and the back of the copper mirror is polished. This is the first time Zheng Bowen has seen such an ancient mirror, suppressing the curiosity in his heart, Zheng Bowen took the mirror from Xing'er's hand very anxiously.
The imaging effect of the bronze mirror is definitely not as good as the glass mirror, and the influence in the mirror is a little blurry, but this does not affect his recognition of himself in the mirror, which is no longer the original self.
The young man in the bronze mirror has red lips and white teeth, big eyes, and looks childish and a little thin.
Is this really me? Zheng Bowen looked at himself in the mirror with some surprise.
Although he knew just now that he was a soul for a hundred years, seeing his other self in the mirror, Zheng Bowen still felt a little like a dream.
After groping in the mirror for a long time, Zheng Bowen turned his head, looked at Xing'er with a curious face, and said, "Xing'er, I may have broken my head, and I don't remember a lot of things, you can tell me about it again." ”
"Ah, young master, are you okay then? Do you want me to tell the master, and let him call Dr. Liu to show you again. ”
"Don't, you know, I'm afraid my dad will worry."
"Oh, well!" Xing'er said with some concern, "Young Master, where do we start?" ”
"Let's start with your name." Zheng Bowen said.
