Chapter 2 Dinner

Jiayi's mother Erica hugged him and approached his home in this world, his home is in the southeast of the village, only 5 or 60 meters away from the village entrance in the south, there is a small river not far from the village, that is, Jiayi sits in a daze, after crossing the river, there is a small forest in front of him, this grove has been extending to the south, connecting the whispering forest not far away, and the whispering forest is a stone ridge deeper.

Legend has it that the Hengduan Mountain Range, where the Stone Ridge is located, is the place where the hairpin of the goddess of the night was left behind, and there are incredibly powerful magical beasts, but Jia Yi has heard of the legend and has not seen the so-called magical beasts. I don't know if this is just a myth or a legend.

The house was made of wood, with a layer of mud mixed with grass stems to keep warm and prevent fire, and the roof was thatched, with some of it replaced with wooden planks. The planks were made and replaced by his father in his free time, and he saw his father sawing wood into planks and replacing the roof more than once in the past week. There is a fence in front of the house that encloses a yard.

Erica carried Kaichi into the courtyard, where there was a table under the old ginkgo tree, and above the table sat a man with a short beard on his face, sharp eyes, and short fine hair. From this hairstyle, it can be seen that the haircut's craftsmanship is not very good, which Erica cut him with scissors. Kaichi's own hair was also cut by his mother Erica, uh-huh! The man also has a leather armor of unknown leather, which is already a little old. He is Gary, Jiayi's father, who is about a little over 30 years old this year, but he looks to be in his 40s.

To Gary's left sat a little girl, dressed in a red linen dress, probably the brightest color in the house. With a double ponytail on his head, and some mud on his face, he was a little thin, his eyes were smart, and he was looking at Jiayi who was carried back.

She is Jia Yi's sister Donna, who is 8 years old this year and has started to help her parents with some housework, and Jia Yi is also taking her. Fortunately, although Jiayi was stupid in the past, he didn't cry or make trouble, and he knew that he was eating, so it was quite convenient to bring it. It is also because Jiayi knows that he eats and can urinate by himself, so his parents will firmly believe that Jiayi is not stupid, just a little stupid.

Kaichi's eyes swept across the courtyard and met Donna's, but they didn't stay, their eyes still out of focus. He saw that today's dinner was a piece of black bread, and a soup made from the bones of a forest deer, with some wild vegetables in it, and only salt was added to it.

After awakening consciousness, the last thing that Jiayi can accept is diet, black bread will have the feeling of wheat bran stinging in the throat if swallowed, and the broth does not use green onions and ginger or anything to remove the fish, but sometimes some onions are added. However, this is already a hearty meal, and usually it is mostly made of semolina mixed with wild vegetables, sometimes wheat mixed with wild vegetables, or boiled beans, and sometimes a small strip of pickled salted meat. Today, thanks to Jiayi's father, he hunted a forest deer, so he will have black bread to eat.

Erica placed Kaichi on a wooden slab at the table, sat down beside him, took a portion of brown bread and broth, and gave him a wooden spoon that looked like a piece of wood with a pit in it. Jiayi ate expressionlessly with a wooden spoon, while the parents next to him were whispering, discussing what to do with the prey they hunted.

The skin of the forest deer has been stripped off, and the meat is ready to be sold in the town tomorrow. Fortunately, it is early spring, the weather is still quite cold, and the game can be sent to the town to sell for some money, if it is summer, the game can only be eaten by itself or salted and dried.

After eating, Jia Yi continued to sit in the courtyard in a daze, and behind him, his father Gary let out a long sigh with loneliness in his eyes. "Dad, my brother will be fine!" Donna next to her whispered comfort to her father. Erica has gone back to the house to feed her little son, who was born last summer, and is now 8 months old and has not yet chosen a name.

Jia Yi saw the concern of his parents and sisters in his eyes and remembered it in his heart: this family is not rich, and they insist on raising Jia Yi, a fool with an uncertain future, and they did not give up on Jia Yi because he was stupid, his family insisted on talking to Jia Yi, hoping that Jia Yi could return to normal one day. After Jia Yi woke up, he always wanted to tell his parents that he was fine, but he was afraid that it would be too abrupt and scare his parents, so he kept looking for an opportunity.

Soon, it was dark, and Kaichi was carried back to his room and rested. Poor families can't afford candles, and oil lamps can't afford to use them, so when it gets dark, they have to sleep. Jiayi and his sister live in the same room, and the little brother is temporarily in the parents' room to be taken care of by his parents. The sister opposite was already asleep, she did housework during the day, and played crazy with the friends in the village, and fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while. Her face was serene, and the moonlight outside the window sprinkled on her face, which looked very lovely.

Jia Yi was lying on the bed, and the thatch under the bed was bearable to sleep, but the quilt covered was also thatch, which was not very warm, and many grass tips were poked out of the middle of the sheets. The moonlight outside the window was good, although it was not a full moon, the moon looked much larger than the earth, and it had become scarlet in the middle of the moon a few days ago, but Erica and the others did not show anything unusual. It's 12 o'clock in a day, which is the same as in ancient China, but Jiayi can't be sure that this is two hours of the earth, so he can only say that the feeling of a day is almost the same. There are 12 months in a year, but they are divided according to the lunar calendar of the waxing and waning of the moon. These are very similar to the earth, I don't know if it is a parallel universe, or only conditions like the earth can give birth to civilization.

There are many stars in the sky, and the stars are brilliant, especially the one next to the moon, which is exceptionally bright, but in the starry sky, Jia Yi did not find a familiar constellation, nor did he see the Milky Way. All of this shows that Jia Yi is indeed in another world.

"Fortunately, although my surname has changed, my sex has not changed, and my name has not changed, at least most of them are still the same. Kaichi thought so. Poor Jiayi obviously forgot that Jiayi is not his surname, Jiayi is his first name, as a commoner, he has no surname, only one name.

It seems that because the soul is too strong, Kaichi feels that his brain is more developed than in his previous life, and many things that are not remembered in the depths of his memory can be recalled slowly, but he needs to search carefully in his mind, otherwise many things will not be remembered. However, it must be carefully understood in a previous life to remember, and if it is just a casual glance at something, what you should not know is still not known. Moreover, it seems that the strength of the soul not only affects the brain, but also the development of the body is faster than that of ordinary children, and Jia Yi is only 4 years old, which is almost the same as other 6 or 7-year-old children.

"I remember that the research of scientists in my previous life seems to say that human memory is related to the cerebral cortex, and memory is stored in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus, and I now have memories from my previous life, does it mean that memory has little to do with the brain? After all, my brain was not brought with me! But when my brain was not well developed, I couldn't do anything, and I didn't have a clear understanding, does it mean that memory and the brain are closely related?" Jia Yi thought before going to bed.
