In the first year of the Ming Dynasty's Apocalypse, during the reign of Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, eunuchs interfered in politics in the court, and the politics were corrupt and dark.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, the governors Yuan Keli and Zhao Yan led troops to quell the disaster, but they failed to kill Xu Hongru, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, causing a huge storm to begin to brew. But at this time, the court no longer paid attention to these, because the external troubles were peaceful, and the struggle between the Donglin Party and the eunuchs in the court began to become more incandescent......

As the disaster gradually subsided, no one paid attention to the refugees born of the disaster, resulting in countless refugees starving to death every day.

In a dilapidated grass house in Jinhua Mansion, Gu County, Zhejiang Province, the heart-rending cries were endless, which made the pedestrians who passed by here subconsciously speed up their pace.

In the grass house, a young man with a face like gold paper and a patched scholar's robe lay on the tattered bed, his eyes closed, and there was no life.

A gray-haired couple sat feebly in front of the bed, the old man's face wrinkled like folds, layer after layer, and tears fell from his face and shattered to the ground as if he had descended the stairs. The old woman buried her face in the young man's lower abdomen, and cried incessantly, and her liver and intestines were broken.

"I'm sorry for my minister, I didn't realize that these days, he gave us all the food we begged for, and he himself was starved to death...... This is my iniquity!" Listening to the old woman's wail, the old man's heart was like a knife, and he closed his eyes tightly.

"My son is dead, what is the point of us being alive?" the old woman stood up in a daze, and slammed her head into the rough stone table on which she was eating, already supplanting her will to die.

The old man hurriedly pulled the old woman and burst into tears: "If you want to die, you have to bury the child before you die, and I will accompany you then." It doesn't matter if the two of us are lonely ghosts, the children must have a home, so as not to be displaced if they become ghosts. ”

Hearing this, the old woman's consciousness suddenly cleared, and she grabbed the old man's arm stubbornly: "Go, you carry the courtiers, let's choose a good place, die together, and reunite in the underworld." ”

The old man stretched out his arms with tears in his eyes, trying to pick up the young man. Just as he was exerting his strength, a cry of pain made him tremble violently, his body was like chaff, and an indescribable light appeared in his eyes.

The old woman's eyes widened, and she suddenly pushed the old man away and grabbed the young man's arm: "Child, my child, you are not dead, you are not dead......

The young man looked at the crazy old woman and the old man who was crying and laughing, and in a trance, he seemed to realize something.

He pinched his body hard, feeling the strong tingling sensation, and he completely confirmed his suspicions.

This is not a dream. He should have crossed over or was reborn, taking away this young man's body.

As his consciousness cleared, he gradually recalled the images before the seizure.

In the 21st century, at the beginning of 2016 in the Gregorian calendar, the weather was at its coldest, and he was looking at the antique store at his uncle's house. One night, when he was about to close the store, a familiar gold-touching lieutenant suddenly came to the door and pawned a treasure that was said to be the emperor's pen of the ancients at the price of ordinary gold.

This man's imperial pen is made of pure gold, with the appearance of a brush and a sharp edge. After touching Captain Jin and leaving, he accidentally let the pen pierce his fingers, and the blood in his whole body frantically poured into the pen body, and his consciousness was blurred at that time.

When he came to his senses, it was already now, a different body, a different identity, and even, a different world!

"Who are you, and who am I?" Consciousness gradually returned, and he turned his gaze to the two old men.

The old couple was stunned for a moment, but then they both realized that something might have happened. The old man wiped his tears: "It's okay if you don't remember, it's good to be alive...... Child, I tell you, I am your father, Ning Shan, she is your mother, Wang, and you are our only child, Ning Caichen. ”

Ning Caichen...... Ning Caichen ...... "With this somewhat familiar name in his mouth, the young man's palm unconsciously rested on his lower abdomen.

After his soul settled, he suddenly felt very hungry, as if he had been hungry for many days, and his stomach and intestines were already convulsed together.

Glancing at the grass house on the four walls of the house, Ning Caichen, who had been reborn, pursed his lips and did not open his mouth to ask for food. Because he felt that, in view of what he was seeing, making such a request would only embarrass the two people in front of him.

"gurgling...... Bubbling ......"

The sound of stomach contractions suddenly sounded, and the mother and son looked in the direction where the sound came from, but saw Ning Shan pressing his stomach hard, and a shameful smile appeared on his face.

"I'm just a little sick to my stomach, not hungry. ”

Listening to the lies he wanted to cover up, Ning Caichen's heart trembled, and his nose quietly became a little sour: "I'll go outside and see if I can find some food to come back, father...... Father and Mother, wait for me at home. ”

"I'd better go, you're weak like this. Ning Shan pressed his shoulder and said seriously.

Ning Caichen shook his head: "I'll go, after I find food, I can eat a full meal immediately." ”

Perhaps it was his last sentence that moved the two old men, Wang pulled Ning Shan and said to Ning Caichen: "You can see if you can stand up first, and if you can, then go out." ”

"Yes. Ning Caichen responded, and it took a lot of effort to get out of bed, walk to the door, turn around and wave with a smile: "I will definitely be able to bring food back, so that our family can eat enough." ”

"How difficult is it to let the whole family have enough to eat?" After sending Ning Caichen away, Ning Shan sighed and turned to look at the Wang family: "Why did you hold me just now?"

Wang lowered his head and was silent for a long time: "Brother Shan, shouldn't we go? Staying here will only drag down the courtiers......"

"Where are you going?" Ning Shan was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a while.

Wang gritted his teeth: "Yin Cao Difu! Only when the two of us are no longer dragged down, can the courtiers live a little easier." ”

Hearing what should have been shocking, Ning Shan didn't have much of an unusual expression, but a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. After a long time, he furrowed his brows and exhaled a long breath: "Then go into the mountains, where wild beasts are infested, ghosts are rampant, and the dead are clean, so that the child will not see our corpses." ”

Wang's eyes flashed with tears, and he gently stroked the straw mat where Ning Caichen slept: "It's better to die than the two old ones of the Ning family." Chen'er, you must live well, marry a wife and have children in the future, and pass on the bloodline of the Ning family. ”

On the cold street, Ning Caichen tightened his patched scholar's clothes, and there was always an ominous premonition lingering in his heart, which made him a little flustered.

"Why is my heart so messy? Could it be that there will be a bloody disaster when I come out today?"

While walking and thinking, Ning Caichen unconsciously came to the county tavern. Looking at the wine flag fluttering in the wind, his attention was instantly distracted: "How do you blend the wine with a high number?" Damn, if only I knew a little bit of knowledge about this, I would be able to eat at least a few full meals, right?"

After thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't come up with a way to blend high-grade wine, nor did he think of the rest of the means of making a living in ancient times.

Glass, will not be made. Invention and creation, it seems that he has never been in contact with it; is poetry and poetry useful in such a remote and backward small county? The storyteller sang and looked at the sparse figures on the street, and he had no choice but to give up this unrealistic idea.

It turns out that the wisdom of the reborn could not necessarily be used to earn a living in ancient times, and if they could not eat, they would starve to death.

Just when he was squatting on the side of the street, thinking wildly, he suddenly felt some itching in his chest, and put his hand into the placket of his shirt and scratched it, but strangely scratched out a golden brush.

Looking at this culprit who brought him here in a daze, Ning Caichen subconsciously wanted to keep it on the ground and slam his feet hard, but suddenly it occurred to him that this thing seemed to be made of gold.

Gold seems to be the currency of all dynasties, right?

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly became hot, and he hurriedly took the human emperor pen and began to look for the pawnshop. As for what is the mystery of this pen, and whether it will be of greater benefit to stay, people who are about to starve to death will definitely not think about it.

Those who have been hungry know how uncomfortable it feels to be hungry.

"It turned out to be here. From the east end of the street to the west end of the street, Ning Caichen found a small pawnshop in a remote location and walked quickly to the pawnshop.

Just as he was about to enter the pawnshop, the human emperor's pen suddenly trembled, and the pen drew a big black hole in the space in front of him, and Ning Caichen, who was caught off guard, crashed into it all of a sudden.

After a strong whirlwind of the heavens, before he could recover his senses, he was shocked to find himself in a wood, and the heart-stopping howl of a wolf was heard in his ears.

Gritting his teeth, he turned around and looked in the direction where the wolf howl came from, but the scene in front of him made his eyes crack, and a powerful force inexplicably appeared in his body, urging him to run forward.

Directly in front of Ning Caichen, a huge gray wolf was knocking Ning Shan to the ground, and Sen Ran's teeth bit his neck. And beside this man and a wolf, Wang was desperately hitting the wolf's back, but with little effect.

"Beast!" As if stepping on the wind under his feet, Ning Caichen came to the side of the two and a wolf in an instant, and the human imperial pen in his hand carried a golden light, which was deeply inserted into the wolf's head.

There was no howl, no scream, the fierce gray wolf was directly pierced through the head by the sharp human imperial pen, killing him with one blow.

"Chen'er!" Seeing that his son suddenly appeared like a god, killed the giant wolf, and saved his man, Wang's face was full of tears, and he fell to the ground and cried.

Ning Shan stupidly hugged the dead wolf's head, still unable to believe that the scene in front of him was true.

It's an illusion, right? We've all gone so far, even if the ministers knew, they wouldn't have rushed over so quickly. What's more, he can't kill the giant wolf even if he has no power to tie the chicken.

However, to be able to see my son after death, God has already treated me well.

After killing the gray wolf, Ning Caichen knelt in front of Ning Shan in embarrassment, feeling that his whole body was about to lose his strength, and his upper and lower eyelids began to fight, wanting to fall asleep.

"I can't sleep, I can't sleep, it's dangerous here. When I fall asleep, I don't know if I'll be able to wake up again. Thinking of this, he suddenly pulled out the human imperial pen inserted in the wolf's head, and slashed his thigh fiercely, and the blood that burst out was devoured by the human imperial pen, but the wound was magically healed quickly.

Although he didn't know what the situation was, the pain still made him more awake.

"Father, take this gray wolf with you, and we'll go home. Gritting his teeth to move the gray wolf away from Ning Shan, Ning Caichen said with difficulty.

Ning Shan hurriedly stood up as if he had just woken up from a dream, helpless like a child: "Minister, minister, we ......"

Ning Caichen smiled weakly, pointed at the gray wolf and said, "We have meat to eat!"

Ning Shan burst into tears on the spot and wet his clothes.
