"Zhong Niju, Zeng Zishi. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Zizi said: 'The first king had the most virtuous way, so as to obey the world, the people were harmonious, and there was no complaint from top to bottom. Thou knowest what you know?' Zeng Zi avoided the table and said, 'How can you know it if you are not sensitive?'...... Yi'er, for my father to teach you the "Book of Filial Piety", you don't sit down and listen to the lecture, what do you do when you stand up?"
"Father, Zeng Zi heard the teacher's order and avoided the table, and the child is now under the order of mercy, how dare he sit still?"
"Hahaha, I didn't expect my son to be so smart and clever, it seems that the task of reviving my Chen's lintel will be completed by you, Yi'er!"
......
In a trance, the "cicada" felt that she had an extremely long dream. In the dream, he watched the ten-year life of a teenager also named "Chen Yi" from the perspective of a bystander, and everything was in full view.
This Chen Yi is not a modern person, he was born in the twentieth year of Emperor Kaihuang of Sui (600 AD), his ancestral home is Yingchuan, and his ancestor is Chen Yu, a famous minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The great-grandfather Chen Qinshi of the Northern Wei Dynasty was the Taishou of the Shangdang and the general of the Eastern Expedition, and was named the founding prince of Nanyang County. His grandfather, Chen Kangwen, was famous, and his official position was Dr. Guozi of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Squire of the Ministry of Rites, and he moved the family business to Luozhou Guishi County. By the time Chen Yi's father, Chen Hui, arrived, the Chen family's family background had declined. Although Chen Hui was beautiful and talented when he was young, he was known as a famous person, but he only served as a Jiangling County Commander.
Chen Hui and his wife Song had four sons, the eldest son and the third son died unfortunately, and only the second son Chen Su and the youngest son Chen Yi remained.
Chen Su is ten years older than Chen Yi, and he has a weak temperament since he was a child, advocating Buddhism. When the two brothers were fifteen and five years old respectively, their mother, Song, fell ill and died. In addition to grief, Chen Su saw more and more through the world, and even worshiped a senior monk who came to do things for his mother as a teacher, and went with him to the Pure Land Temple, a famous temple in Luoyang, to become a monk, and got the Dharma name "Changjie".
On the one hand, Chen Hui was disheartened by the loss of his beloved wife, and on the other hand, he saw the chaos in the world after the new emperor Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, so he simply resigned from his official position and returned to Wushi County with his young son Chen Yi.
When Chen Yi was just ten years old, Chen Hui was also seriously ill, and he died after being rescued by the doctor.
Although Chen Yi is young, he is quite smart and sensible, on the one hand, he asked someone to send a letter to his second brother in Luoyang, and on the other hand, he arranged the funeral for his deceased father with the help of loyal servants and neighbors at home. But after all, he was still a ten-year-old child, and his immature body was finally dragged down by extreme grief and mental exertion. At the moment when his father was buried in peace, Chen Yi's tense spirit was relieved for days, and he fainted in front of his father's grave on the spot. And "Cicada"'s understanding of Chen Yi ended at the moment before he fainted.
Feeling that his consciousness was regaining possession and dominating the body, the "cicada" wondered in his heart: "Could it be that I survived the bombardment of the missiles? But what is the matter with this extra memory?"
With a full stomach full of suspicion, he struggled to raise his eyelids, which seemed to be in the middle of a thousand pounds, and a dazzling light reflected in his eyes, making him instinctively raise his right hand to block it.
"This is ......" When his eyes were slightly accustomed to some of the light from the outside world, and he saw clearly that what was blocked in front of him was a slender and immature palm instead of his own "magic hand" that had been tempered and killed countless people, even with the strong psychological quality of "cicada" that had been tempered by life and death for a long time, he couldn't help but be stunned and his mind was blank.
"Fourth Young Master, you're finally awake!" With this shout full of surprise, an old man in his fifties with gray hair walked into this simple, simple and ancient bedroom. The old man wore a strange gray semi-long gown with a round neckline, narrow sleeves, slits at the crotches on both sides, and a knee-length hem. He entered the door and looked at the "cicada" who had sat up from the couch with a blank face, and the wrinkles on his face that had begun to take shape smiled into a brilliant chrysanthemum, "Thank God, Fourth Young Master, you have slept for three days and three nights, which really scared the old slave." ”
"Xingbo, I'm worried about you, I'm fine. Looking at the strange and familiar old man in front of him, after the "Cicada" said this sentence, he finally realized that he was no longer an assassin "Cicada", but a ten-year-old boy named "Chen Yi" who had lived in the Sui Dynasty for five years.
This old man is Chen Xing, the old servant of the Chen family, although the Chen family is already in the middle of the family, he has always followed his master loyally. At this moment, he saw that his little master's face was gloomy, and he asked worriedly, "Fourth Young Master, are you really okay?"
The cicada shook its head vigorously, as if this action could promote the faster fusion of the two memories in the brain. In order to comfort the old man who cared about him in front of him, he reluctantly showed a smile and said, "It's really fine, but I feel very hungry." ”
Chen Xing said happily: "It's good to know that you are hungry, which shows that the fourth young master is really good." If you haven't eaten for three days, you'll naturally feel hungry. The old slave had already asked Chen Bao's family to prepare a meal, and he would go and get it immediately. Then he turned around and ran out, his legs and feet neatly not at all like an old man in his fifties.
Subconsciously put his right hand into the collar and felt out an ornament that was worn around his neck with a red silk rope. This is actually the pale yellow jade cicada that changed the fate of the "cicada", but in the memory of the young Chen Yi, this jade cicada is the heirloom of his Chen family. Although I guessed that all this should be inseparable from this jade cicada, the detailed cause and effect in it did not have a clue.
After pondering for a long time to no avail, he put the jade cicada back in his clothes and pressed it against his chest, and at the same time said a final goodbye to the past Assassin "Cicada" in his heart. "Although this Chen Yi is not the other Chen Yi, after all, there is no need to do the business of buying people's lives. In the future, I will continue to live my own life happily according to the original plan. ”
"Fourth brother, you're awake!" a thin six- or seven-year-old boy with a bun on his head burst into the door, and shouted loudly with joy when he saw Chen Yi, who was already standing on the edge of the bed, trying to put a few coats on his body.
Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this child was Chen Xi, the youngest son of his neighbor Chen Bao. Chen Bao belongs to the distant branch of the Chen family, and is the same generation as Chen Hui, Chen Xi is also commensurate with Chen Yi's brothers, and usually likes to follow behind Chen Yi, who is a few years older.
"Xiao Xizi, you give me an honest face. Xiao Yi has just woken up, don't disturb him!" With a scolding, a middle-aged woman in cloth and hairpin walked in, first put a tray in her hand on the small table in the room, and then pulled Chen Xi on his ass and slapped him to the side, and then naturally walked to Chen Yi's side and helped him put on the clothes that he didn't know how to wear.
"Thank you, Auntie. Chen Yi also remembered that this woman was Chen Xi's mother, Zhang, and hurriedly thanked her.
Zhang smiled heartily: "Children who have read books have many rules. You have just recovered from a serious illness, why are you still making such nonsense? Auntie has already cooked you food, so it's only serious to eat it quickly!"
As she spoke, she had pushed Chen Yi to sit down in front of the small table, and then took the bedding on the couch to dry outside.
Chen Yi saw a bowl of golden corn porridge, a bowl of simmered mutton, and a steamed cake cut into four pieces on the tray on the small table.
Chen Yi, who was already hungry, smelled the pungent aroma of the hot food, and didn't feel that his appetite was great, and he just picked up the chopsticks, but saw Chen Xi come to his side, looking at the mutton in the bowl.
Chen Yi shook his head and smiled, picked up a piece of steamed cake, broke it, picked a few large pieces of particularly fatty mutton and sandwiched them in the middle, and then handed them to Chen Xi: "Xizi, eat with me!"
Smelling the itchy aroma that drilled from his nose to the bottom of his heart, Chen Xi swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and finally shook his head vigorously and said, "I have already eaten it, fourth brother, you can eat it yourself!"
Chen Yi smiled: "I've been hungry for too long, eating more is not good for my body, and I can't finish these meals, so I invite you to eat together." ”
"Really?" The resolute look on Chen Xi's face immediately turned into hesitation.
Chen Yi nodded affirmatively, and sent the steamed cake forward a little more.
After all, Chen Xi couldn't resist the temptation of food, and hesitantly took the steamed cake, but then bit it down fiercely.
Chen Yi saw that he was eating sweetly, so he also chewed and ate slowly.
What he said to Chen Xi earlier was not a lie, he ate a small piece of steamed cake with a few pieces of mutton, and drank the bowl of corn porridge, although he was still hungry in his stomach, he still forced himself to put down the dishes and chopsticks with the strong will he had trained in his previous life.
Chen Yi had just gotten up and moved a little, stretching his sore and stiff muscles, but old Chen Xing ran into the room in a hurry and shouted, "Fourth Young Master, Second Young Master is back!"
