Outside Qingxi County, Zushan.

The scorching sun sits on the head, and the birds in the forest do not sing.

On the top of the mountain at noon, the breeze gently blew across the mountain, bringing a wave of heat to roll up the corners of the young man's soap robe and float slowly.

"Mother, the tree has come to see you."

Chen Ning's mother's grave is in the corner of the back of the ancestral mountain, except for the weeds around, it is a lonely one.

The grave is very clean, there is not a single weed, it should be someone who often comes to clean the grave.

Chen Ning lit the incense candle, knelt in front of the grave, and said softly in a homely voice, "Chen Jiawang has been very obedient recently, he hasn't made me angry anymore, he has grown up a lot......"

"I did a good job in Yamen, two months ago, the salary rose a little, enough to eat and drink, not to mention, I can save a sum of silver for Chen Jiawang's pension......"

"Lord Xiang finally agreed to my request to continue practicing martial arts today, and gave me what I needed to cultivate, and in the future, I can also become the world-shaking great cultivator......"

"Recently, the town has not been very peaceful, and there have been several bloody cases, but you don't have to worry, Shu'er's martial arts are high, our art masters are bold, and we are not afraid of those thieves, and when the time comes, it will be a great achievement to catch the thieves......"

The young man chattered, as if he had been pressed by some switch and opened the chatterbox, which was completely different from the silence and coldness in front of people in the past.

He said for a long time, took out the lipstick from his arms, and his voice gradually became dull, "This is something that the Qiao family robbed us, and I took it back from his shop today." ”

He paused, "Starting from this lipstick, I'm going to take back what the Qiao family took from our house little by little."

Mother, you can rest assured, your suffering, Chen Jiawang's sin, and all the hatred of our family, I will get it back from Qiao's family, no worse at all! ”

After saying that, he threw the lipstick into the pile of unburned incense, and watched the precious rouge crackle and burn to ashes with the flames.

There was some kind of grease in the lipstick, which suddenly caused the flames to rise.

And Chen Ning stared at the vigorous flame, his eyes gradually blurred, and he vaguely seemed to see his mother's pear blossom and rainy cheeks.

At the beginning, Chen Ning came to this world, and he was not very adaptable, and even he was very confused, why did he cross over.

In his previous life, he had family, friends, a dazzling degree, an enviable talent for languages, was proficient in 16 international languages, and completed his Ph.D. in the Department of Languages at the age of 25.

Suddenly coming to this strange place, he was uncomfortable, very annoyed, and even thought about whether he could go back if he died again.

Therefore, for a long time, he did not have a good impression of this world, only disgust.

But under the gentle care of that gentle woman, his mother Wang Xiahe in this life, his mentality began to slowly change, and he gradually accepted the fact that he had crossed over.

He began to discover that the sky in this world was blue, the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants, and his simple and honest father, the dashing and heroic father-in-law, and the rumored cultivators who could go to heaven and earth aroused his interest.

Perhaps, it would be a good choice to change the way of life and explore the practices that can only appear in mythological stories in previous lives.

I, Chen Ning, a Ph.D. in the Department of Linguistics with otherworldly knowledge, can also show my strength and make a difference in this era of such backward technology.

A man is born in heaven and earth, why should he be depressed all day long? Where can't you make a difference?

Chen Ning thinks he is a strong man, he never complains about the environment, he has the ambition that a man should have, and wants to use the knowledge in his mind to change this world!

Technology changes life, just do it!

So, at the age of three, he made a very "great" decision to write a "secret recipe" that would make him rich - lipstick.

Chen Ning is very smart, and in order to avoid the exposure of the secret recipe, he uses Chinese characters when recording.

Of course, he couldn't do this by himself as a three-year-old child, so he confessed everything to his mother Wang Xiahe.

Although Wang Xiahe was shocked by a "celestial" son, as a mother, she chose to believe in her child.

The mother and son's lipstick business is in full swing, and in just a few days, the first batch of lipsticks was sold, and the income was very good, Chen Ning believes that it only takes three months for him to change the status quo and become a wealthy family.

But he never expected that it was precisely because of the formula of the lipstick, because of the paper with Chinese characters written on it, that the Chen family was pushed into the abyss.

The best-selling lipstick is written with the secret recipe of the ancient gods......

All of this is not something that should be at home in a small county.

Someone with a heart will snoop, deceive, and threaten...... Even snatching.

If it was just lipstick, it would have been enough, but the formula with the ancient divine words written on it became a talisman for everyone in the Chen family.

In order to avoid being searched for his soul and keep the secret that her son is a "celestial man", the mother would rather commit suicide.

In order to get justice, my father tried his best to get justice, and he was searched for his soul and became a fool.

Thankfully, the father didn't know his son's little secret, and they didn't find out anything.

Fortunately, my father also had a close friend who was the general of Zhenxuan, and he used the majesty of Zhenxuansi to protect the only seedling of the Chen family.

After that day, Chen Ning realized that in the books and TV series of his previous life, people who have traveled through time can rely on knowledge to change the world and make a fortune...... It's all!

In this strange world, there is only endless malice towards a stranger!

The puff is not guilty of his crimes.

Chen Ning realized how ridiculous it was for him to use the knowledge in his mind to gain a foothold in this world rampant with gods and ghosts.

"Fortunately, fortunately, I am still alive......"

Chen Ning took a deep breath, looked up at the floating clouds in the sky, and whispered: "As long as I am alive, I can take revenge and get back all the things I lost!" ”

It's just that some people who are lost will never be able to return to their side.

……

……

Chen Ning stayed in front of the grave for a long time, and by the time he returned to the city, it was already early afternoon.

There were more people on the street, and from time to time, people who knew Chen Ning would come forward and respectfully call "Chen Zhutou", and Chen Ning only nodded.

Until he was on the side of the street, he saw a familiar figure.

The fat tanuki cat demon, cat Ah Si.

The cat Ah Si was lying lazily in front of the study, dozing off with his eyes closed, and purring from time to time, but it was very comfortable.

"Cat Ah Si?"

Chen Ning frowned, remained silent, and quietly approached Mao Ah Si.

He moved like a rabbit, and instantly pounced in front of the cat Ah Si, grabbed the back of the cat's ancestor's fateful neck, and lifted it up.

Chen Ning drank coldly: "Little thief, look at where you are going this time!" ”

Mao Ah Si woke up suddenly, struggling wildly, but seeing Chen Ning's face clearly, he was much more calm, and said with a smile: "Chen Zhutou, don't arrest me, I have changed my ways, I met Master Xiang last night, and I also helped Lord Xiang deliver a letter."

Master Xiang said that I can atone for my sins, so there is no reason for you to arrest me again. ”

Chen Ning naturally didn't believe it, and snorted coldly: "Full of nonsense, this will arrest you and confront Master Xiang!" ”

"What I said is true!"

Mao Ah Si was a little anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Su! Mr. Su can testify to me! ”

Mr. Sue?

After Chen Ning heard this, he looked up at the study in front of him.

This is a simple courtyard, there are a few green bamboos planted at the door, the pen is very green, and there is a wooden plaque hanging on the door, on which are written three big characters of "Li Yun Zhai".

The wooden plaque and the words are some years old, with a sense of vicissitudes of life through wind and rain, it is such an old plaque, which makes people look like a sense of calm and calm, and a sense of righteousness rises in the chest.

Especially the word "Liyun", Chen Ning took a few more looks, and felt that the fatigue of last night's work had been reduced a lot.

Chen Ning stood at the door and could hear the sound of reading aloud in the hall.

"Character and then know, know and then sincerity......"

Hearing the neat endorsement, Chen Ning's face softened slightly.

Before becoming the head catcher, he spent a long part of his time in the study, which carried too many memories for him.

Seeing that Chen Ning's face was relaxed, Mao Ah Si hurriedly said, "Chen Zhutou, if you don't believe it, you can go in and ask Mr. Su." ”

"You shut up."

Chen Ning snorted in a low voice, because at the door of the study, his voice was lowered a lot, for fear of disturbing the students inside.

"Meow—"

Mao Ah Si was a little helpless, and muttered: "It's a big deal to go and confront Master Xiang, anyway, it's just a waste of time for you to catch head Chen." ”

Chen Ning ignored it and walked directly into Liyun Zhai with it.

The garden of the study is not big, but there are mountains and rivers, green bamboo is shady, there is a well in the corner, and there is a town stone on the left side of the entrance to the school, which is engraved with the words "diligent reading and hard work, Mingde Lixin".

The handwriting and the plaque were the same as the one person's.

Chen Ning was holding the cat Ah Si, standing next to the town stone at the entrance of the school, looking at the school.

In the school, the teacher was a middle-aged man dressed in a Confucian robe with a face like jade, and said softly: "The heart is right and then the body is cultivated, and the body is cultivated and then the family is Qi." ”

This person is the master of the study, Su Ziyou.

Su Ziyou is not from Qingxi County, he only arrived here more than 20 years ago, and he heard that he was an official in the imperial capital, but he offended the powerful and was demoted to an official position, so he left the imperial capital and came here to open a private school.

Su Ziyou never forced him to collect money when he opened a private school, and as long as he wanted to learn, he could come to the lecture.

Some rich and noble families gave some money, some could not afford the money, and some could not take anything, but as long as he was willing to come, he never refused.

Ninety percent of the scholars who came out of Qingxi County had listened to lessons from Su Ziyou, so Mr. Su's prestige was very high in Qingxi County, and the people respected him very much, and they all had to call him "Mr. Su".

The students in the hall were of different ages, the older ones were older than Chen Ning, and the younger ones were only five or six years old.

Zhang Jiabao was among them, sitting in the corner, concentrating on reading with Mr. Su.

Chen Ning was not in a hurry, so he stood quietly with the cat Ah Si, and the cat Ah Si did not dare to toss around, allowing Chen Ning to carry the back of the neck of fate.

After a while, Su Ziyou finished teaching the article, instructed the students to review the article, and turned around and walked outside.

"Meditation, long waiting."

Su Ziyou walked out of the school, Wen Xu smiled and looked at the cat Ah Si in Chen Ning's hand, "You put the cat down, it hasn't made any big mistakes, you don't have to treat it like this." ”

"Hearing what Mr. said about it, the students were relieved."

Chen Ning smiled and put the cat Ah Si on the ground.

Mao Ah Si shook his fur and whispered: "I said earlier that I have redeemed the merits, but you still don't believe it." ”

Chen Ning ignored it and said to Su Ziyou, "The student is ashamed to disturb Mr. Teaching. But Mao Ah Si has a case, saying that you can prove his innocence, and the student can only take the liberty to visit. ”

Su Ziyou said with a smile: "It's okay, you have always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing to do, and if you have anything, just say it." ”

Chen Ning hesitated slightly, but still spoke: "There is indeed something I want to ask sir, Mao Ah Si escaped from prison for stealing, and the crime is not small, I don't know why it can atone for its crimes." ”

Cat Ah Si got away with it overnight, what kind of letter did it send when it mentioned the tragic song?

Also, Xiang Beige was injured last night, Chen Ning could naturally easily deduce that he had a fight, but why didn't he send a letter to the yamen to inform him, and instead asked Mao Ah Si to come to Mr. Su?

Faintly, Chen Ning always felt that Master Xiang and Mr. Su seemed to be hiding something.
