Chapter 2 Gourd
After Meng Jia finished working in the kitchen, she moved a stool and sat next to Jiang Changsheng.
"Changsheng, don't you really want to go out to play, it's still early, you go out to play for two hours, just come back before 12 o'clock, I'll guard the house."
In this era, during the Chinese New Year's Eve in the village, men generally gathered to play cards or bet on treasure, children played firecrackers together, and teenagers liked to do bad things everywhere.
Last night, Jiang Changsheng and a few friends went to the village cemetery to hold a bonfire party.
A few half-sized children, lighting a fire in the grave, and then telling horror stories, obviously scared to death, but also pretending to be bold.
It was agreed to continue tonight.
The cause of this incident is that the friends watched the Hong Kong-style horror film "Ghost Fighting Ghost" starring Hong Jinbao in the small video hall, and the picture of the female ghost sticking out her bruised arm from the mirror in the movie can be called the shadow of many people's childhood.
Although Jiang Changsheng and the others are not children in their teens, they have watched some TV at most before, and they have never watched movies at all, let alone ghost movies, so they are scared a lot.
The young man refused to admit defeat, and in order to save face, everyone thought of going to the village cemetery to tell horror stories together in order to prove their courage.
In this year, the people in the village are still very superstitious, and when the weather is dry, there is occasionally a phenomenon of spontaneous combustion of phosphorus in the cemetery, which the villagers call "ghost fire".
Think about it for a moment, in the dead of night, a green or blue flame suddenly rises in the graveyard, and anyone who sees it is afraid.
Last night, Jiang Changsheng took advantage of the phenomenon of ghost fire to make up a story about ghost fire, and against the backdrop of the bonfire, he scared several friends into pale.
Although everyone agreed to continue tonight yesterday, until now, a few friends have not come to Jiang Changsheng, and they are obviously cowardly.
"Sister Jia, the monkeys have not come to me until now, I guess I went to play by myself, and I will chat with you at home tonight."
Hearing Jiang Changsheng's words, Meng Jia was stunned and sighed.
"After a year, you are a year older, sensible, and know how to chat with your sister."
Under the flickering candlelight, Meng Jia's already yellow hair looked a little messy, her cheeks were deep-set, and her cheekbones were a little prominent, which looked like long-term malnutrition.
Jiang Changsheng couldn't help but say: "Sister Jia, I will be 16 years old after the New Year, and if I can have my own income in law, I can already be regarded as an adult."
It has been you who have taken care of me all these years, and it is I who has delayed you. ”
Hearing Jiang Changsheng's words, the smile on Meng Jia's face was closed, and he said hurriedly: "Nonsense, how can you have such an idea, is it that someone in the village is chewing his tongue." ”
"Changsheng, you don't have to think about anything now, concentrate on studying, get admitted to a good university in the future, and leave the countryside to have a chance!
You don't have to be burdened, you know? I was only 11 years old when my mother left, and I don't know if I would have survived if my second grandmother hadn't helped me and taken care of me.
I take care of you now, and I also repay the kindness of my second grandmother, all of which is the best arrangement. ”
The second grandmother is Jiang Changsheng's grandmother.
Meng Jia's story is very vulgar, his father is an educated youth, and when he went to the countryside, he fell in love with her mother, formed a family, and gave birth to Meng Jia.
After the policy was liberalized, her father abandoned his wife and daughter and went back to the big city, so Meng Jia followed her mother's surname Meng.
Meng Jia's mother is optimistic and strong, although she raised her daughter alone and endured a lot of rumors, she lived a good life, and Meng Jia lived a very happy life when she was a child.
Helplessly, her mother had a "bad disease" and died when Meng Jia was 11 years old, with the medical conditions of the village and town at that time, the cause could not be found at all, and the doctor just guessed that it was a genetic disease, because Meng Jia's grandparents died very early.
Since then, Meng Jia has become an orphan, Jiang Changsheng's grandmother is kind-hearted, took the initiative to take care of Meng Jia, and raised her, although the two families are neighbors and do not live in the same house, but the relationship is closer than relatives.
Jiang Changsheng saw that Meng Jia was a little anxious, so he hurriedly changed the topic.
"Okay Sister Jia, I will study hard, and I will make you happy when the time comes!"
Meng Jia immediately showed a smile on her face, and her big eyes were bent into crescent moons.
"That's right, you just have to study, I saved all the money for you to go to college, fortunately, you are angry, and you were admitted to the county No. 1 middle school in the high school entrance examination, which can be regarded as helping me realize my dream."
Perhaps because of the genes of her father, Meng Jia has had a good academic performance since she was a child, but after her mother died, she was forced to drop out of school because she had no money to study.
Jiang Changsheng knew Meng Jia's situation, and he smiled and comforted: "Sister Jia, although you are not in middle school, you are more educated than me, and you have read more books than me." ”
Meng Jia has a lot of books in his family, all of which were left by his father, these books Meng Jia has read since he was a child, and in terms of culture alone, Jiang Changsheng, who has not awakened the memory of his previous life, is indeed inferior to Meng Jia.
Jiang Changsheng continued: "Sister Jia, you can actually be a writer, you can write something at home in your spare time, the work of weaving cloth is not in line with your temperament, and it is not a long-term solution." ”
Although Meng Jia grew up in the countryside, she has a poetry and book atmosphere in her belly, and she has read a lot of books, and she has a dignified atmosphere of poetry and book beauty.
She glanced at Jiang Changsheng, and always felt that her younger brother seemed to have grown up overnight, and he was still young and young between his eyebrows and eyes, but he spoke with a mature charm.
If it was before, Meng Jia would not have discussed the topic of work with Jiang Changsheng in order not to distract him, but tonight he was unconsciously brought in.
She sat up straight and said seriously: "Although I have read a lot of books, they are all interests, and I don't like to be a writer." ”
Jiang Changsheng asked, "If you have a choice, what do you want to do in the future?" ”
"I want to be the boss, you know, my favorite thing is to make money! When I was working in a weaving factory, I thought that I would open a weaving factory in the future and recruit hundreds of workers to work for me and help me make money. ”
Meng Jia was a little excited, and her voice became faster, "When I make money, I will find a virtuous and beautiful wife for Changsheng, and let him give you a son and a daughter, and the children can recognize me as a godmother, and I will let them inherit my wealth." ”
Jiang Changsheng heard this, his expression was strange.
Meng Jia is beautiful and has a good temperament, whether it is in the weaving factory or in the village, there is no shortage of suitors, but Meng Jia refused.
Jiang Changsheng knew that the main reason was because of himself.
Over the years, the people in the village introduced Meng Jia to the object, and Meng Jia asked the man to accept Jiang Changsheng, which scared off some people, even if some men accepted, but Meng Jia was worried that Jiang Changsheng would be wronged, and finally gave up.
Regarding this, Jiang Changsheng is not in a hurry now.
In Jiang Changsheng's view, not to mention the village, even in the entire county, there are no particularly outstanding talents.
Meng Jia is only 23 years old, if he goes to college, he has just graduated for a year at this age, so there is no need to worry.
Jiang Changsheng believes that he has the ability to help Meng Jia realize her desire to be the boss, and when the time comes, her horizons will be broadened, and it will not be too late to find a partner.
He interrupted Meng Jia's words: "Sister Jia, can't you get married and have children by yourself?" If you really want to be a big boss, if you have money, you are afraid that you will not find a handsome guy.
Don't stare at me. ”
Jiang Changsheng's parents have divorced for both lives, and he has a natural rejection of marriage.
When Meng Jia heard this, she glared at Jiang Changsheng and took out the majesty of being a sister.
"There are only two things in my life, one is to make a lot of money, and the other is to take care of you! As for finding a partner, that's impossible! ”
Looking at Meng Jia's expression and tone, Jiang Changsheng understood that she was also hurt by the behavior of Zhiqing's father who abandoned his wife and daughter, and like herself, she rejected marriage.
Jiang Changsheng decisively ended the topic, and he began to induce Meng Jia.
"Textile factories belong to the labor-intensive secondary industry, which can make money, but to become a monopoly, the tertiary industry is the future, such as the Internet ......"
"What is the Internet, do you know the computer? I don't know, so I'll tell you more about ......."
"I'm borrowing from the development line of Mi-imperialism......"
"Where did I learn this? I studied in the school library, I know, academic performance first, and I don't read miscellaneous books......"
One night, Jiang Changsheng imperceptibly revealed the general trend of future development to Meng Jia.
Although Meng Jia didn't believe it very much, she always had a vague impression.
After 11 o'clock, the electricity came, the two ate some lotus root pork rib soup, chatted for a while, lit a string of 1,000 firecrackers at 12 o'clock, and then went back to the house to sleep.
Lying on the bed, Jiang Changsheng was still a little excited, tossing and turning, and didn't fall asleep in a daze until more than 1 o'clock in the morning.
In his sleep, the life experience of his previous life flashed one by one, from the croaking to the ground, to the divorce of his parents, to being admitted to university, to working in the deep city, Jiang Changsheng seemed to have watched a movie at double speed.
At the end of the movie, Jiang Changsheng grabbed a gourd in front of the vendor, and after he saw that he was hit by a car, blood soaked into the gourd, and the blue light on the gourd flashed.
This is the end of the memories.
But Jiang Changsheng had an extra gourd in his consciousness.
This gourd is dull in color and pale cyan, with several holes on the surface of the gourd and a few cracks at the bottom, exactly the same as the one Jiang Changsheng got from the vendor in his previous life.
The light on the gourd's body flickered, and Jiang Changsheng had an extra stream of information in his head.
"Luck gourd: It can absorb the condensation of the public and turn the business ideas into luck."
"Nine strategies for longevity, forging the body, martial arts, practicing qi, concentrating, refining, medicine, attacking, changing, and ...... destiny"
After digesting this information, Jiang Changsheng immediately understood that he was extremely lucky to become the owner of the Qi Luck Gourd, and at the moment when he was hit and killed by a car, the Qi Luck Gourd activated the remaining Qi Luck in the gourd, allowing him to be reborn.
After that, the Qi Luck Gourd fell into a deep sleep, and it was not restarted until today, allowing Jiang Changsheng to recover the memory of his previous life.
After the Qi Luck Gourd recognizes the Lord, it can collect the thoughts of sentient beings condensed into the master, and thus transform them into Qi Luck.
According to the inheritance information, the way to unite the people's business thoughts is religion and sacrifice, and now it is a society governed by the rule of law, and engaging in xie religion is a dead end, Jiang Changsheng doesn't want to eat guns, so for the time being, the luck gourd is useless.
As for the Nine Strategies of Immortality, it is a cultivation technique that comes with the Qi Luck Gourd, and the origin is unknown, Jiang Changsheng took a look, and most of them are now unusable.
Today's Blue Star is the era of the end of the law, and there are no objective conditions for practicing qi to become immortals and martial arts to become gods, so you can try to take a look at the body strategy, and you can also refer to the content about the human body acupuncture points in the medical strategy.
Jiang Changsheng was thinking about it, and suddenly felt that someone was pushing him.
"Eternal life, eternal life! I got up, I couldn't sleep on the first day of the new year, so I got up and went to the village to pay my respects. ”
