Chapter 1: The Scholar
(New book seedlings, ask for some recommendation votes to support, thanks!)
Wilderness, ancient roads.
A thin horse, walking slowly, like an old man who has seen through the world, is not alarmed.
On the saddle, there are swords and baggage.
A handsome scholar wearing a Tang scarf and a plain shirt with a tall posture sat on horseback and looked into the distance, with the smoke of a distant mountain village printed in his eyes.
The scholar's shirt has been washed and yellowed, and the dust stained along the way is quite dusty.
However, this did not hide the spirit of the scholar at all.
In today's world, such a spiritual outlook is really rare.
"Drive!"
Although the horse is old and thin, Cui Xiu does not dislike it at all, if it weren't for this horse, the journey back to his hometown would be all based on his own foot strength, which is not something that ordinary people can bear.
Thinking of this, Cui Xiu is also a little helpless, his body is still a little weaker, his predecessor was a powerless scholar, although he has exercised this month, but the foundation is still a little worse, and it is difficult to change much in a short period of time.
Seeing this, it is not difficult to understand that Cui Xiu is actually not the original owner of this body, his previous life lived in a prosperous world, high-rise buildings, Jingdong Taobao, although he is just an ordinary person, but he can be regarded as a taste of life, and he never thought that there would be a day of crossing.
But these are all in the past tense, fortunately, although the crossing is a bit cruel to him, it is not unacceptable, after all, he was just one person in his previous life, and his girlfriend just happened to blow it, but there is no one who cares about it.
As for the name of the previous life, he won't mention it, it's a bit complicated to say (urging-chan: The original protagonist's name, now for the previous life), besides, I don't know if there is a chance to go back in this life.
Today's body, named Cui Xiu, the word Dongshan, a native of Ganzhou, Jiangxi, is eighteen years old, and he is still a famous showman, his parents are still there, he is still a family heirloom, and there are a few brothers and sisters, although he is not rich, but it is much better than ordinary people, and it can be said to be a very good start.
When Cui Xiu crossed over, the original owner was taking the township exam in Fucheng, and it was when he was waiting for the release of the list at the inn after the exam.
Xu was too much consumption during the exam, coupled with his concern for his results and worried about falling off the list, the original owner came and went and became seriously ill and dying, and he had his crossing.
Thanks to the care of several students in the same county, he gradually recovered, but unfortunately there was no name for him after the list was released, so he hastily packed up his things and returned to the township, and now he is on the way back to his hometown.
Speaking of this old horse, it was a classmate who was lifted to see that he was seriously ill and gave him a leg strength, and the classmate still had entertainment in Fucheng and had not yet turned around.
"Treading ......"
Cui Xiu came back to his senses from his memories and was thinking about going to the place where the smoke rose in front of him to make a foothold, when the sound of horses' hooves stomping behind him, accompanied by the 'squeak' of the carriage pressing on the road, gradually approached.
Looking back, a simple carriage with a bit of delicacy came into view, and the horses pulling the carriage were fit, although they were not tall, but they were much higher than Cui Xiu's old horses.
On the wheel, a sturdy middle-aged man was driving with a horsewhip, the carriage was covered by a curtain, but he didn't know who was inside.
Xu saw Cui Xiu riding an old horse, and the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down.
Cui Xiu didn't think much about it, seeing that it was a chance encounter, he also nodded slightly at the man who was driving.
But he didn't want the carriage to be on the side, and the curtain of the carriage was pulled back, revealing the owner inside.
It was a boy dressed as a scholar, and a young scholar dressed in a plain shirt like Cui Xiu.
Cui Xiu faintly felt that the scholar's appearance was somewhat familiar.
However, the scholar only glanced at him cursoly, and did not say hello, but the little scholar smiled at him.
Soon, Nei Zhong gave an order, and the middle-aged man nodded to Cui Xiu and drove forward first.
Seeing this, Cui Xiu shook his head slightly, and didn't think much about it.
Looking near and far, the place where the smoke rises looks very close, if you want to arrive before nightfall, I am afraid that it is also a little difficult, it is not wise to sleep in the wilderness at night in this world, Cui Xiu has no power to protect himself, it is not good to delay time, patted the old horse's neck, sped up, and hurried up.
......
"Woo ......"
Jin Wuxi sinks, and the moon rabbit rises eastward.
Seeing that there was another half an hour's journey to the place where the smoke of the cooking stove had risen from a distance, Cui Xiu suddenly heard a childish whimper sound.
Listening to the voice, it seems to be a child crying.
Standing on the horse, Cui Xiu raised a little vigilance, looked around, and pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword.
Although this body is not good at force, after recuperation in the past month, it has some strength, and it can always feel at ease with a sharp weapon in hand.
"Woo ......"
The crying continued, and following the sound from which it came from, a thin figure came into view.
Through the twilight of dusk, Cui Xiu fixed his eyes, and he saw the appearance of the figure clearly, and breathed a sigh of relief.
It was a child, dressed in shabby coarse cloth clothes, and looked like a child from a nearby peasant family.
Slowly rode his horse closer, turned over and dismounted, hesitated slightly, and brought a long sword.
"Little baby, why are you crying here?"
Cui Xiu took a few steps closer, but he didn't get too close, and only asked softly.
When the child heard the sound, he raised his head, and there were two horns on his head that were simply wrapped, and two lines were brought out by tears on his black and thin little face.
Seeing Cui Xiu, he shrank back a little scared.
After sobbing for a while, the child choked up softly, "...... I...... Xiaocao is lost...... If you can't find a home, grandma should be worried...... Woohoo......"
Listen to the voice, still a girl.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my brother will take you home, do you see it?"
Hearing this, Cui Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, this kid may be from the village in front of him and lost his way.
After a few words of comfort, the child didn't cry, Cui Xiu hugged her to the old horse, but she didn't ride with her, but led the horse next to her, with a long sword in her hand, and still didn't let go.
After leading the horse for a while, he suddenly saw a familiar carriage standing on the side of the road, and there was a family in the forest by the roadside.
Just as she was surprised, the little girl suddenly said in surprise: "Home is here!"
As he spoke, he looked at Cui Xiu anxiously, and he was a little restless and writhing on the old horse.
It's best to find a home, Cui Xiu was also relieved when she heard this.
Picking up the little girl from the old horse, it was a little cold to start, thinking it was blown by the evening breeze.
The little girl got off the horse, pulled the corner of Cui Xiu's clothes, and was about to go in the direction of the small courtyard.
Cui Xiu didn't stop it, and soon the two came to the outside of the small courtyard, next to the carriage.
What caught my eye was the scholar I had seen before, and an old woman who was leading a child.
The scholar was not surprised when he saw Cui Xiu.
It was the man who was driving the car, his face changed slightly, and he glanced at the little girl next to Cui Xiu.
Cui Xiu didn't notice this, and let the little girl run towards the old woman, and then looked at the scholar and his party.
I met on the road before, and it was useless to see a courtesy, but now I see you again, but it's not good to lose the courtesy.
So he raised his hand and saluted.
"In Xia Cui Xiu, the grass word Dongshan, Anyuan County, I have seen three. ”
