Chapter 1: Mei'er
"What kind of place is this?" Jiang Xingchen, who had just woken up, sat on a narrow bed made of broken wooden planks in the innermost part of the room, his face dazed. As far as the eye can see, the windows obscured by broken pieces of wood, the mottled walls, the old wooden doors that are closed, and the wooden table leaning crookedly against the corner with only three legs...... A shabby and dilapidated picture.
Turning his head slowly, there was a pile of broken charcoal more than a person tall on the other side of the house, and his gaze stopped on it, revealing a thoughtful look, and the picture in his memory slowly emerged.
"After graduating from college, I went to drink with the second, third, and fourth children in the dormitory......"
"We drank all night, and Zuihou was high ......"
"On the way back, I was at the front......"
"Then I seemed to see a thick fog like mercury... I hit my head on it......"
"Boom~" As soon as he thought of this, a muffled thunder suddenly sounded in Jiang Xingchen's mind, and in an instant, he felt that his head was about to explode, and the sharp pain like a tearing brain made him can't help but let out a miserable scream.
However, the sharp pain did not make him unconscious again, but made him more conscious. At this moment, he even clearly saw that in his mind, there was a thick fog in the shape of mercury rolling......
In just a moment, Jiang Xingchen's whole body was soaked in cold sweat, and the little strength he didn't have was instantly withdrawn, and the screams turned into low moans from his throat......
It didn't take long for the pain to recede like a tide, the strange fog in his brain finally disappeared, Jiang Xingchen gasped heavily, his face was full of horror as if he had left the water, and his face was full of horror: "How is this possible! How can I see it in my mind...... Hallucinations......"
Jiang Xingchen couldn't believe everything just now, he didn't feel the situation in his mind, but actually saw it, which made him think that he was hallucinating...... Or, right now, you're in a dream!
"Bang!" The door was pushed open, and the sound of the two doors hitting the wall seemed to shatter the dream, making Jiang Xingchen's face twitch, shrink back slightly, and then turn his head.
In his sight, a petite figure rushed to him like a wind, grabbed his arm, and an anxious voice sounded in his ears: "Brother, how are you, do you have a headache again......"
Jiang Xingchen nodded subconsciously, and his somewhat stunned gaze stopped at this person.
In front of her was a young girl, at most twelve or thirteen years old, with a thin and withered figure, several stains on her small face, her shawl-length hair was slightly yellow, and it was covered with dust, and she didn't know how long it had not been cleaned, her eyes were a little red and swollen, and they were bloodshot inside, and she pursed the corners of her mouth tightly, with an anxious look.
"Brother, are you having a headache again!" Seeing Jiang Xingchen stunned, the girl spoke again, her voice a little hoarse.
And just as the girl asked again, Jiang Xingchen's pupils shrank suddenly, and two words flashed in his mind in an instant: Crossing!
The real touch of the girl grabbing her arm, and the words that she could understand even though they were not in any language of the earth, showed that everything in front of her was not an illusion or a dream!
"I ...... It's crossed!" Jiang Xingchen only had this one voice in his head, he ignored the girl at all, immediately lowered his head, raised his hand with difficulty, opened his palm, and stopped his gaze on it.
"It's not my original body...... Jiang Xingchen's eyes shrank again, his palms were thin, his ten fingers were slender, although they were full of calluses, they could still see that they were originally delicate, and they were by no means his original thick palms.
"Brother, you are talking!" the girl's voice became more anxious, and she shook his arm vigorously.
"Shhh
Seeing that Jiang Xingchen still didn't react, the anxiety on her little face turned into panic and fear, and she was a little at a loss, not knowing what to do.
At this time, Tata's footsteps sounded, and a middle-aged man wearing old linen clothes and a loyal face walked into the house.
"Young Master Jiang!" The man stopped in front of Jiang Xingchen and called out in a low voice.
Jiang Xingchen didn't seem to hear it, but he still stared down at his palm. At this time, he was still in a huge shock, even if his previous psychological quality was very good and his ability to bear was extremely strong, it was difficult for him to quickly adapt to this legendary thing. And the instinctive fear of the unknown and the strange made him close himself off in self-preservation, not even noticing that there was another person in the room.
"Hey~" Seeing Jiang Xingchen like this, the man let out a sigh that seemed to be helpless and pity, and then said: "Young Master Jiang, it's not that I don't want you to live here, my second child urgently needs money to go to the Imperial Academy, and we can only sell this old house, and even the charcoal business, I have temporarily put it down......"
The girl glanced at Jiang Xingchen, then raised her head and said, "Uncle Huang, we know! We will leave early tomorrow morning, xiexie, your care for the past few days!" As she spoke, the girl pulled the corners of her mouth, showed a far-fetched smile, and bowed to the middle-aged man.
Seeing the girl pretending to be strong, the middle-aged man couldn't bear it for a while, reached out and took out twenty copper coins from his arms, and handed them over: "Miss Mei'er, no matter what, it's not my fault to let you leave early, I won't accept this house money!"
"This ......" The girl hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out her hand, took the copper coin, and then bowed to the middle-aged man: "Uncle Huang, Xiexie, you!
"Hmm!" The middle-aged man didn't say much, turned around and wanted to leave, but after a pause, he turned around and said to Jiang Xingchen: "Young Master Jiang, it's been Miss Mei'er who has been taking care of you these days, don't think about selling her!"
His words fell, Jiang Xingchen slowly raised his head, and at this time he recovered a little from the huge shock, and found that there was one more person in the room, and he also heard the other party's words. But he didn't speak, and in a completely unfamiliar unknown environment, not speaking was the most hode choice.
"Brother won't sell me!" Seeing that Jiang Xingchen was still stunned, Mei'er took a step forward and said with great certainty! However, the pretended strong expression on his face irrepressibly brought out sadness and grievances.
"......" Uncle Huang was silent for a moment, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but Mei'er spoke first: "I'm not a slave!
There was a bit of childishness in the words, but the deep tone made people's hearts chill.
"That's good!" Uncle Huang finally didn't say anything, sighed, and turned to leave.
Jiang Xingchen Mu Ne's eyes followed Uncle Huang's back and left, and in the sunset, he could see that outside the door were buildings similar to ancient societies, with brick walls, mud walls, roof tiles, and hard soil streets...... It wasn't until Mei'er closed the door that he withdrew his gaze.
He didn't listen to the conversation between Uncle Huang and Mei'er just now, but with just a few words and the environment in front of him, he could also judge that his current situation was not good.
"What kind of shijie did I come to, what kind of environment did I come to, what kind of identity did I have, and why did I get so down......" In college, his psychological quality and adaptability are very strong, and after the shock of crossing slowly subsided, he came up with such a question, because it is about how he survives.
Jiang Xingchen originally thought that if he could understand the language of this shijie, it meant that he should still have the previous memories of this body. But he recalled it seriously, but it didn't have any effect, everything about this body was blank. The only thing that could make him think of it was the ancient building outside the door.
"Brother, are you hungry?" Mei'er's voice sounded in her ears, waking up Jiang Xingchen, who was struggling to find his memory.
Turning his head slowly, Jiang Xingchen looked at the girl. At a quick glance just now, he only saw Mei'er's general appearance, and then he was in extreme shock at the crossing. Looking closely at this time, a trace of pity suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he frowned tightly.
The little girl was wearing a long linen dress, and her arms, shoulders, waist, and skirt were almost all torn and dirty, like a rag wrapped around her body. The shoes were also pitch black, and it was not clear that they were made of any material, the front was torn, and the small toes were exposed. On her two small hands, there were red marks, which looked like the strangulation marks of the rope. This one is worse than a little beggar.
couldn't help but look down at himself, but saw that his outer shirt was pale white silk, and the clothes inside were definitely not linen, which could be known from the touch.
"Brother, give!" Seeing Jiang Xingchen's reaction, Mei'er looked very happy, and carefully took out something wrapped in an unknown leaf from her arms and handed it to him.
Jiang Xingchen subconsciously took it.
"Brother, open it and take a look!"
The leaves opened, and inside was a palm-sized black dough cake.
"I made money today, and I bought a black flour cake! Chunxianglou said that I can go over to help with the work of taking out the garbage in the future, and I can support my brother in the future...... And my brother doesn't have to worry about having no place to live, Uncle Huang just returned the twenty copper coins for renting a house to us......" Mei'er said, the corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a smile, as if she was happy to earn money.
Looking at Mei'er's smile, Jiang Xingchen immediately thought of the red bruises on her little hands, only to feel that the softest part of her heart was touched fiercely, and the shell that was closed due to self-protection was instantly knocked open and put this smile in.
"Brother, in fact, you don't have to be discouraged, although you didn't activate Yuanquan and lost the qualification to inherit the territory and the status of nobility, but I heard that to obtain the status of nobility, you don't necessarily have to take the path of a warrior, as long as you contribute to the empire or the big lord, you will be canonized! Brother is only sixteen years old now, and there is a chance to ......"
Mei'er didn't notice Jiang Xingchen's emotional fluctuations at the moment, her mouth seemed to open the floodgates, and she kept talking.
"Moreover, didn't my uncle also say back then, practicing martial arts hurts the body, and many people don't live to be fifty years old...... When we have money in the future, we will go to the most haode mercenary group, find out the guy who used fake medicine to deceive my brother a few days ago and say that he can activate Yuanquan, and beat him hard......"
Listening to Mei'er's incessant chatter, Jiang Xingchen actually felt a faint warmth, as if he had returned home, only to feel that this little girl had an indescribable kindness, a smile appeared unconsciously on her expressionless face, and the pressure in her heart was unconsciously relieved a lot.
At this time, Mei'er stopped, looked at him strangely and asked, "Brother, why don't you eat, you have been in a coma and awake for the past two days, and you haven't eaten well, aren't you hungry?"
"Ah!" Jiang Xingchen was stunned for a moment, then he thought of the problem of eating, and suddenly felt a spasm in his stomach, as if a big hand was holding his stomach and kneading it fiercely.
The feeling of hunger was more unbearable than pain, Jiang Xingchen looked at the black flour cake in his hand again, and immediately had the idea of swallowing it, but he didn't have time to respond to Mei'er's question, so he raised his hand and brought the black flour cake to his mouth.
"Gollum!" Just when Jiang Xingchen opened his mouth wide and wanted to bite down, suddenly a voice came into his ears, his movements immediately paused, and he looked up at Mei'er, only to see that the little girl lowered her head, did not look at him, and turned around and said, "It's dark, I'll go make a fire...... Uncle Huang is very nice, let's use charcoal casually, just be careful not to ignite the charcoal pile!"
However, Mei'er didn't walk away, Jiang Xingchen had already pulled her sleeve.
"You haven't eaten either, have you!" As soon as the words came out, Jiang Xingchen found that he was speaking the same language as Mei'er! However, at this time, he didn't have time to think about it, he pulled her back hard, raised his hand to tear the black dough cake in half, and brought half of it to her mouth. Although the little girl bowed her head quickly, he saw the action of swallowing saliva.
Mei'er looked at Jiang Xingchen in a daze, her mouth opened slightly, with an unbelievable expression on her face, and then her eyes were clouded with a layer of moisture, in her memory, since she saw Jiang Xingchen at the age of six, she had never seen him give her anything.
Jiang Xingchen also had a little drum in his heart at this time: "Little girl's expression, don't see anything anymore, right?"
"Brother Xiexie!" Before Jiang Xingchen's thoughts fell, the little girl had already grabbed half of the black flour cake and bit it down fiercely.
"How long has this girl been hungry!" Looking at Mei'er's gobbling up food, Jiang Xingchen said secretly in his heart.
"Eat slowly, don't choke!" Jiang Xingchen endured the discomfort in his stomach and opened his mouth to persuade, but did not eat the black flour cake in his hand. The little girl endured hunger and brought back the whole black flour cake, and she endured so many injuries on her hands without showing them, this kind of strength touched his heart again.
"Woo~" The little girl puffed out her little face like a bun and nodded vigorously.
The palm-sized black dough cake is even smaller when divided into two halves, and it goes into the stomach in two bites. The little girl swallowed the food in her mouth with great effort, wiped the corners of her mouth, and didn't let go of the slag. When he was about to look up, he saw half of the black bread in front of him.
"Let's eat this half too!"
Mei'er raised her head and looked at Jiang Xingchen, who was smiling with her arms outstretched, and tears welled up in her eyes that were already full of moisture.
Raising her hand to wipe her tears, the little girl casually snatched off half of the black flour cake in Jiang Xingchen's hand, and asked loudly, "Brother is so good to me today?"
"Uh!" Jiang Xingchen was stunned, not knowing how to answer.
"Brother doesn't really want to sell me, it's zuihou who will give me a full meal today!" The little girl took a step forward, her little head leaned in front of Jiang Xingchen, and stared at his eyes.
"It's nothing! You're my sister, how can I be willing to sell you!" Jiang Xingchen laughed dryly, and then said, "I still point to you to raise me!"
"Flutter!" the little girl burst into tears and laughed, and suddenly stretched out her hand, pinched Jiang Xingchen's cheeks, and stuffed the cake into his mouth: "Hurry up and eat, I'm already full! If you're hungry, how will we leave tomorrow!"
Jiang Xingchen didn't expect that the little girl still had such a side, and without any defense, a quarter of the cake was stuffed into her mouth.
"You let go, I'll eat it myself!Little girl, you bully me now I don't have the strength, right, woo~" Jiang Xingchen shook his head and struggled, the voice coming out of his mouth was indistinct.
"You biedong, it's not good to waste, I'll let go!" the little girl said and let go of her hand.
Jiang Xingchen glared at the little girl, reached out and pinched a small piece of dough that was exposed outside his mouth.
"It's really unpalatable, what kind of taste is this, a mouthful of scum, it's worse than the steamed buns that have been left out for many days! They all say that drinking porridge is as sweet as honey when you are hungry, there is nothing at all!" Jiang Xingchen frowned, if it weren't for the fact that his stomach was really hungry, he couldn't help but spit out the food in his mouth.
"Brother, is Mei'er really a slave?"
Jiang Xingchen paused for a moment and looked at Mei'er, only to see that the little girl had a solemn face and was looking at herself nervously.
"Of course......" Jiang Xingchen wanted to say "Of course not", but halfway through the words, he paused suddenly, and he felt a hot flow in his stomach that had just been comfortable, which instantly rushed to the top of his head, and then a muffled thunder exploded in his head, and the mercury-like mist appeared in his eyes again.
