Chapter 2: Past and Present Lives
Kuang Wenbo is the third young master of the city lord's mansion, and he is quite popular with the city lord. Along the way, he told Mu Chen some interesting anecdotes.
But Mu Chen's concern about the things he couldn't get an answer by knocking on the side, and he was sometimes absent-minded about it, and only occasionally dealt with a few random words, the reason why Mu Chen didn't notice the coldness and disdain in Kuang Wenbo's eyes.
After coming to Kuangfu, Mu Chen and the others did not enter Kuangfu through the main gate, but got off in an alley that could only accommodate a carriage.
was directly brought to him by Kuang Wenbo, in the backyard room, and in the next few days, Kuang Wenbo often came to Mu Chen to chat, looking very friendly, and he was a good friend.
I didn't know that after a few days, through chatting with Kuang Wenbo, I learned that this place is called Liangguo, which is located in the Tobu Continent. The Tobu continent is very large, and in the west it is a boundless sea, and the local people call it the Endless Sea. No one knows what the Endless Sea is like, and many people have never walked out of the Cool Country in their lives.
In this silent night, the beating candlelight swayed and slowly dragged out the afterimage, Mu Chen recalled the past scene, as if he was in a different world, and in the blink of an eye, he gradually fell into contemplation.
Mu Chen is a middle-aged greasy uncle over thirty years old, he was born in the countryside, his family is a little poor, rural children, it is inevitable that he is a little introverted and shy, he doesn't like to communicate with people, and his academic performance is too good, although he also had a dream, but the reality is cruel, and finally in the third year of high school, he gave up his studies for various reasons and chose to be a soldier.
When he was a soldier, because he was tall and outstanding, he was selected into an advanced group in the car, and everyone knows the façade. He was frail and sickly since he was a child, how could he have just come to adapt to the high-intensity training of the army, and not long after, after he carried a weight of five kilometers for the first time, he fainted.
And Mu Chen went from a weak young man who was frail and sickly to the first powerful man in the competition, it only took half a year, but I don't know how much hardship he paid, but it is conceivable that he is also a resolute and strong person. But the good times didn't last long, and when there was a big competition in the second year, he was accidentally injured, and since then he has fallen into a hidden illness, and finally he can only retire from the army and return to his hometown with hatred.
Due to the injury, he was unable to do manual work, and because he had no culture and skills, he had to do light work. Later, with some savings, he resolutely decided to start a business and make a career. Don't seek to shine on the lintel, at least you can live a decent life, but you can make people worse, repeatedly frustrated, and in addition to the long-term lack of exercise, slowly people also get physical, and finally become a greasy uncle who gives up on himself.
No, it's almost the New Year, but his business still hasn't grown, the old saying is to be more and more courageous, indomitable, as the saying goes, fate is determined by heaven, things are man-made. But he Mu Chen has paid so much, but he can't get the favor of God, sometimes he is reflecting on himself, whether he is himself or not, is not the material for doing business.
It is said that good things are more grinding, and good things are grinding. But Mu Chen felt that he was getting more and more wasteful, and sometimes he once suspected that he had not done anything good in his previous life, and he was punished by God in this life.
This is another encounter with the new coronavirus, life is very boring, to put it mildly, it is leisurely and comfortable, but Mu Chen, who is thirty, can't sit still, after all, the boss is not small, and he wants to see his daughter, but because of the special reason of the new coronavirus, it was put on hold. He felt extremely lonely and hesitant, as if the world had abandoned him.
But the days go by like this, and occasionally you have to set a goal when your interest comes, anyway, it's better to lose the fat first, but everyone has a kind of inertia, and when no one supervises you, you will indulge yourself.
Of course, the current Mu Chen is no exception, he is tired after a few exercises, so he comforts himself, tomorrow, tomorrow I will definitely persevere, and sometimes I will sigh, "I am no longer the teenager who used to be active in fighting."
Of course, in addition to eating and drinking, there are a lot of other messy things in a day.
"This person is moldy, and it won't work if it goes on like this!, you have to enrich yourself and recharge yourself. ”
In this way, all kinds of tricks came over and over again. Can.....
In the past few days, the rain has been falling non-stop, Mu Chen stood in front of the window and looked at the steel jungle in the drizzle, the streets that used to be extremely lively are now lonely. The raindrops "tick tick" hit the window rhythmically, and slowly Mu Chen's eyes were blurred, and he fell asleep unconsciously.
In his dreams..... After a long drift .... And then there was waking up in severe pain.... Later, I realized that I had traveled through time and space and came to a strange place.
But who would have thought that the time-traveling dramas he watched were all about the handsome, suave and suave scrap young master of what family, and then the plot of being divorced by his beautiful fiancée and then working hard to rise?
Why is it his turn to cross, it is still this greasy appearance, and he has crossed into such a desolate Gobi, he deeply remembers that when he was desperate, a lizard swept in front of him with teeth and claws, extremely arrogant, but he didn't expect to be provoked by a small lizard when he came here.
Slowly Mu Chen retracted his thoughts, and the hazy candle flame slowly became solid.
"I'm also depressed.,It seems like a powerful feeling to get that thing.,But I don't know what it's used for until now.,Even if it's not a bull X system.,At least it can give some actual ability.,By the way, the system will definitely create a system when I have the ability.。 Mu Chen clenched his fists and muttered.
But Mu Chen thought of Kuang Wenbo's sinister smile, and shuddered, always feeling that something was wrong, and from him, except for some irrelevant information, he didn't know anything else.
"But I'm a penniless poor boy, what does he want from me?" Mu Chen couldn't help but stand up and muttered to himself as he walked around the room.
The sky was bright and white. In the Gobi sky, the yellow sand is always sprinkled everywhere. Mu Chen also had no intention of resting and got out of bed, put on the green cloth robe that Kuang Wenbo asked his subordinates to bring, covered the door and walked out, and came to the courtyard.
Kuangfu is very large, pavilions, garden corridors abound. All kinds of flowers and trees compete for beauty, which is particularly pleasing to the eye. In this border city full of yellow sand, you can have such a handiwork, which can imagine the extraordinary place of Kuangfu.
The ground is also used, and the high-quality marble material is paved from all afar, smooth as a mirror, hard as iron, showing the luxury of the wealthy.
Early in the morning, there were a lot of family members, busy walking and sojoking, and the family servants they met along the way saluted one after another and knelt directly on one knee. Mu Chen hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said, "I'm just an ordinary person, so I don't need to make such a big gift." Although he has slowly adapted to it in the past few days, Mu Chen is still a little embarrassed.
The family hurriedly refused: "Don't dare, Gongzi is the distinguished guest of the Third Young Master, we don't dare to slack off, please don't torture us." The other family members agreed again and again, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads.
Mu Chen thought in his heart: "Alas, this is the sad thing about human nature, where will I go then." ”
"Mu.... Son.... I got up so early, I'm afraid that the third son won't misunderstand, thinking that the little ones have neglected the son, and the little ones are not good at explaining to the third son. Suddenly, a family member dressed in different clothes, sprinted up a few steps and saluted slightly, his eyes narrowed, and he asked in a long voice.
And this person's speech and demeanor were obviously different from those of other family members, and Mu Chen naturally saw that this person's intentions were ill-intentioned.
"I will make it clear to you Third Young Master, I won't be embarrassed for you, don't worry!" Mu Chenpi looked at the family with a smile, and then looked at the other people and said with some embarrassment.
"In that case, then Mu Gongzi, please do it.... The little one stepped back first. The man dressed differently bowed and then turned and walked away.
The corners of Mu Chen's mouth tugged inadvertently.... I was thinking about something.
After hearing this, the rest of the family also retreated nervously, Mu Chen sighed, then retracted his thoughts, and continued to walk forward, not far away a strange ancient tree, Mu Chen's eyes were attracted, Mu Chen hurriedly walked forward, stood under the tree for a while, and exclaimed again and again.
At this moment, a sudden and gentle voice sounded, "Why does Mu Gongzi like this tree." ”
Mu Chen came back to his senses silently and looked fixedly. It was Kuang Wenbo who was holding his long sleeves, still holding a folding fan in his hand, and stood there with a smile.
"Oh, it turned out to be Kuang Gongzi, you also got up so early?" Mu Chen coped with it, and bowed slightly with a polite fist, but in his heart he was thinking that the ability of that family to ventilate and report the news was not ordinary, that Kuang Wenbo was quite far away from the guest room here, I didn't expect to come over so soon, and what are they staring at me for, are you afraid that I won't be able to escape.
Kuang Wenbo also returned the salute with his fists, and said to himself: " This tree has a great history, the reason why our Kuang family settled here, is because of this tree, about a thousand years ago our Kuang family was a small family, the year of war and famine, the despondent wandering here, the ancestors in the panic Gobi hunger and thirst, in addition to the sickness, just when they were dying, over a sand dune, actually happened to meet this ancient tree, got a fruit on this tree, after taking the injury and healed, energetic, as strong as a cow, and then built a home here, slowly developed to the present city. ”
"Oh, I see..... It must be a treasure tree. Mu Chen looked at the ancient tree again, and said slowly while walking around the plank road he had built.
"Treasure tree? Maybe! After so many years, it has never produced a single fruit, hey! Don't say it, maybe we descendants are not blessed enough!" Kuang Wenbo seemed to be a little unwilling to say.
"Brother Kuang doesn't have to be upset, maybe when the opportunity will come!" Mu Chen looked back at Kuang Wenbo and smiled slightly.
"Then thank you Brother Mu for your words, please.... Let's move on to breakfast!" Kuang Wenbo smiled and made a gesture of please.
Mu Chen bowed slightly, and also made a gesture of please, but he felt strange and depressed in his heart, thinking that the ancients had so much red tape, and they hugged their fists all day, and their arms and waist were extremely sore, which was really troublesome.
Then I came to the dining room, and saw Kuang Wenbo's father Kuang Anfu and his aunt Mrs. An, Kuang Anfu is in his fifties this year, and he looks younger than his actual age, probably because he has not worked hard, and he has not been prematurely corroded by the years, and his face is quite oily and slippery.
Mrs. An is only in her twenties, she has long black hair, wears a light blue dress, her hair is chic and chic, there is a golden phoenix hairpin in her light and slow cloud temples, and she has embroidered sachets around her waist, and the whole person looks gentle and elegant.
Mrs. An glanced at Mu Chen contemptuously, her mouth pursed, she didn't know what she said, and Mu Chen didn't care. And when I watched Kuang Wenbo, there was a smile in my eyes, and there was no smell in it.
Dinner.
"Mu Gongzi, there is a festival in a while, you must come to participate, Master Jin Ce is the national teacher of our country, and he is also the most famous archmage of our Liang country. My father's birthday was specially invited by his old man to do a big puja, which is a good opportunity, and you should not miss it. Kuang Wenbo's beautiful Danfeng eyes narrowed and said with a smile.
"Okay! Thank you Kuang Gongzi for your kindness, I will definitely attend then" Mu Chen bowed slightly, then shook the robe on his body and said lightly.
