Wenjian Chapter 531: Hunger
In the darkness, they lay flat in the tent and chatted happily about their past lives.
Just like picking up shells at the beach, I am trying to piece together the memories of my past life.
The banner "Mandarin is our school language" posted on the wall of the elementary school, the 50-cent snacks in the canteen at the school gate,
The time I spent hiding under the quilt listening to radio stations using MP3, my favorite singers, and the movies and TV series I’ve read.
"Remember you said home is the only castle..."
"The sky really wants to rain, and I really want to live next door to you..."
"HoBaby, if you talk more about your love, if you miss me, I will take another look..."
The tent echoed with the tone-deaf chorus of the two. From time to time they stopped to argue whether they remembered a certain line of lyrics correctly. When no one could remember it, they continued humming along with the melody.
Most of the time, the conversation between the two starts with "Do you remember..." and "Hey, I remember..."
Li Ang felt more and more that he might have been in the same province or even the same city as Lu Yunan in his previous life - their childhood memories had too many overlaps.
Including the on-demand TV stations I watched when I was a kid, and the grape-flavored soda filled in glass bottles at small street shops.
An unprecedented sense of satisfaction filled Li Ang's heart. He felt that the missing part in his heart for a long time had finally been filled and repaired.
"Gene Era"
Anxiety, anger, uneasiness, fear, all negative emotions gradually subsided and turned into tranquility and gentleness.
Unknowingly, the palms of the hands were clasped and the fingers were interlocked.
Li Ang heard the sound of hair rubbing against the tent carpet next to him - Lu Yunan turned her head and stared at his face in the darkness.
So he also turned his head and looked into each other's eyes.
In the cave of the abyss, two lonely hearts face each other honestly, looking directly at each other's original appearance.
There was a patter of rain outside the tent, and the rainwater hit the bamboo that had been buried before, making a splashing sound.
"Right,"
Li Ang asked softly: "On land before, you said you were a little jealous of me. Can you ask me what's going on?"
There was silence for a moment, and just when Li Ang regretted and wanted to take back his words, Lu Yunan slowly said: "It's different from you. I was born in this world with memories of my previous life."
"The northern border, Black Mountain. The climate there is bitter and cold, and the trees all over the mountains and plains are uniformly green and black, hence the name."
"My mother is a widow. Her husband died in a hunting accident a few years ago. It is difficult for a widow to survive on her own in a Montenegrin village. So, I was born."
"I don't know who my father is, and I don't want to know - a few years before I was born, I was still immersed in the memories of my past life, and psychologically refused to admit that this barbarian woman with thick joints, rough skin, and unattractive appearance was my mother.
”
"She was...clumsy, and she didn't do anything lightly when feeding me. Once she put me in a hot water basin to bathe, and the sheep at home were snatched away by wolves. She hurriedly went out to look for me and forgot about me.
.If I hadn’t been quick enough to crawl out on my own, I would have almost died in the bathtub.
She was so frightened when she came back that she hugged me and knelt on the ground, thanking God. I kept rolling my eyes in her arms."
"I grow up day by day, gradually learn the barbarian language, and understand the surrounding environment. I want to use the knowledge in my head to improve my life."
"But the Black Mountain tribe is too poor. There is very little flat land suitable for farming, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate wasteland. Every autumn and winter, the soil freezes and is as hard as stone. There is no environment or conditions for me to perform."
"What's even more deadly is the Turks."
"The Turks have an activity called Autumn Sweeping, which is to enter the northern border in autumn and plunder the livestock and food of various tribes."
"It's actually funny to say that thanks to the scientific achievements of the Yu Kingdom Academy, the Turks can meet their country's food needs every year just by trading with the Yu Kingdom. Nowadays, autumn sweeping is largely an entertainment activity for the nobles.
It’s like going out hunting.”
"The village I live in, even among the entire Black Mountains, is considered remote and poor. Everyone knows that the Turkic army is coming, so they have prepared livestock and food for 'tribute' early."
"However, the Turkic gentleman may have fallen down when he entered the mountain and was in a bad mood. He casually reported a number and wanted to take away 90% of the food in the village."
"Several men in the village tried to resist, but their stone knives and bone arrows could not penetrate the stomachs of the Turkic soldiers, and soon all the resisters died.
The Turkic gentleman, who was riding on a tall horse and wearing a silver fox shawl, spat on the ground and asked the soldiers to take away the supplies. He tied the rebel's body to the saddle with a rope and dragged him away from the village."<
/p>
"With the severe winter coming, my mother and I searched every corner of the house and found only the last bit of food, which was not enough for us to survive the winter."
"She went to beg other families, but every family was short of food and no one came to help."
"She and I tried to go to the mountains to look for food, but in the cold winter, even the bears were forced to hibernate. Walking in the snowy forest, we couldn't find food at all."
"In despair, I prayed to all the gods I knew. Gods, Buddha, God Jesus, no matter who it was. But, there was no response."
"One winter snowy morning, I woke up from bed and found that the hot water was boiled and the firewood was ready, but my mother was nowhere to be found. I searched everywhere like crazy, and finally found out from the villagers' mouths
I know, someone seemed to have seen her going up the mountain in the morning."
"I braved the wind and snow, followed the footprints, trudged hard on the mountain, and finally found her frozen under a tree."
"She still had a faint smile on her face, and she was holding the cloth I was wrapped in when I was born in her hand."
"The remaining food is not enough for two people to survive the winter, so let's subtract one person."
"I carried her back to the village. Under the incomprehensible eyes of the villagers, I dug a tomb for her in the frozen soil and erected a tombstone according to the tradition of my previous life."
"From that time on, I vowed to kill all the Turks. No one will be left."
Lu Yunan's tone was extremely calm, without any waves, but she unconsciously squeezed Li Ang's hand with a little force.
The sound of rain outside the tent continued. Li Ang hesitated for a moment, put his other hand on the back of Lu Yunan's hand, and patted it comfortingly.
"Sorry..."
"There's nothing to be sorry for. It's fate, isn't it?"
Lu Yunan shook her head and said calmly: "Afterwards, maybe the golden finger of time travel finally arrived, and I also awakened the ability to predict. From then on, I can always seize opportunities and turn danger into good fortune. I organized a caravan to come to Chang'an,
Became a businessman."
