In a quiet night alley and in a dilapidated courtyard, a candle glowed dimly on the candlestick next to the long window. A young man with long hair and robes was sitting quietly in front of the window, looking through the dim light.
, looking at the falling rain outside the window.
The drizzle has not stopped, and the rain from the cornice falls on the banana trees planted in front of the window. On such a lingering spring night, listening to the sound of rain hitting the banana trees will make people feel sad.
Amidst the sound of rain hitting banana trees, the man's thoughts flew back to that cold night three years ago. It was also a rainy night in early spring. When he woke up from his sleep, everything changed.
That night, he woke up with severe abdominal pain. The moment he opened his eyes, he felt something was wrong. The dim lights, the dark tent, the damp bedding, the musty smell in his nose, and the pungent and bitter taste in his mouth.
The taste. All this made him overwhelmed. The severe abdominal pain prevented him from thinking too much, so he found a large water tank under the eaves and drank a full belly of rainwater, and then began to vomit. He vomited all over.
It was dark, and the pain in my stomach eased a little.
He thought that all this was just a nightmare, and was surprised that this dream was too real. The details were like the real world, and the senses were real. He felt so weak that he fell asleep under the porch. Since it was a dream, then
Don't worry about where you sleep, everything will be as normal when you wake up.
However, when he woke up again at dawn, he found that he was still in this strange and unfamiliar environment. Moreover, his mind was in a mess, filled with many chaotic and strange memories. No matter how much he tried to get rid of them
Memories, they all swooped on me like a swarm of mosquitoes and flies, buzzing in my mind and lingering.
"Fang Zian...my parents are dead...stealing things and robbing things...the police are here, run...there's no point in living..."
A series of memories came one after another, almost overwhelming his brain. He stood up unsteadily, inadvertently lowered his head, and screamed in horror, thinking he had seen a ghost. In the reflection in the water tank
There was a ghostly figure with disheveled hair and seven bleeding holes shaking around. He turned around in shock, only to find that there was nothing behind him. After a while, he finally understood that the thing in the water tank was actually his own shadow.
For two whole days, he locked himself in a dark room without eating or drinking. Two days later, he finally opened the door and stood in the bright sunshine in the dilapidated courtyard. Although there was too much confusion and
Reluctant, panicked and angry, he finally had to accept the reality and he traveled through time! He encountered the kind of bloody things described in strange novels. A few days ago, he was a citizen of a rising eastern power in later generations, and
Now he has become a young man named Fang Zian. Moreover, he has traveled through thousands of years and came to the dynasty that was later called the Southern Song Dynasty.
Fang Zian, sixteen years old, both parents died, from Sanyuanfang, Lin'an Prefecture.
The memory in his mind told him that the experience of the boy named Fang Zian he possessed was very ordinary. After his parents died one after another a year ago, the boy lived alone for more than a year, and finally
I couldn't hold on any longer. When I woke up that night, there was a bitter almond taste in my mouth, unbearable cramping in my abdomen, and bleeding from the seven holes of the reflection in the water tank. Later, I found a pottery bowl next to the bed with a pungent smell. All this was very strange.
It is easy to conclude that this young man named Fang Zian chose to commit suicide by taking poison because he was poor and helpless on that rainy night. He died, but was possessed by his own soul and came back to life through his body.
This is an ordinary life, so ordinary that he is even as humble as an ant. If he hadn't been possessed by time and space, it would have been a long time before the body of this young man named Fang Zian was discovered, and his name would soon be revealed.
Forgotten. However, he happened to be possessed by such an ordinary young man who was as ordinary as an ant. It was really dumbfounding.
By sorting out the boy's memories in his mind, 'Fang Zian' also knew that the era he came to was the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty. Although he is not a person who studies history on earth, the history of the early Southern Song Dynasty is basically familiar to everyone. Fang
Of course Zian knew that Gaozong Zhao Gou was in power at this time, and the treacherous minister Qin Hui was in power. It was already the 21st year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei, the famous anti-Jin general, was dead, and ten years had passed since the humiliating Song-Jin Shaoxing peace talks. The overall situation was pretty good.
Stable, the political situation and public sentiment throughout the Southern Song Dynasty also tended to be stable, and national power was on the rise.
Fang Zian felt a little lucky because of this. Although he did not travel to a wealthy family, he at least did not travel to a time of chaos and war. Although the Southern Song Dynasty was a relatively peaceful dynasty, it was also a peaceful one.
The exquisite and prosperous dynasty, traveling to this time, should not be homeless, starving, freezing, or suffering from swords. This can be regarded as a blessing among misfortunes.
In any case, I can only live in this era. Although I am unwilling to do anything, I have nothing to do. Now that I am here, I have to live. I will not be as weak as this young man. There is only one life, and I have a second time.
Life should be cherished twice as much.
For a few days, Fang Zian worked hard to sort out his thoughts and mentality. Although every time before falling asleep, he always hoped to find that it was all a dream when he woke up, but after all, he had to face reality after being disappointed again and again. Fang Zian had to face reality after being disappointed again and again.
Zian himself was an optimistic and open-minded person in later generations. Now that he knew the situation was like this, he could only choose to accept the situation. He might even think that fate might have played a trick on him, but how could he know that he had not given him a chance? So
Many people have not traveled through time, but I am the only one who has encountered this strange thing. Isn't this an arrangement of fate? Maybe it is unknown what I want to do here.
However, these illusory conjectures were quickly defeated by the real dilemma. Fate arranged time travel, but did not arrange everything else. God may have given a big task, but it has not given a big pie. He must solve the current difficult livelihood.
question.
The possessed boy named Fang Zian came from a poor family, which can be described as living in poverty. According to the boy’s memory, Fang Zian’s parents died of illness one year ago. Although the family was originally from an ordinary family, their parents worked hard, and the family of three collapsed.
He could also make ends meet. Fang Zian was the only child in the family, and his parents were very doting on him, so he basically didn't suffer much. However, when his parents died, the fifteen-year-old boy suddenly became an orphan. He had no relatives and no one to rely on.
He was helpless. At first he could rely on the little savings left by his parents, but soon the meager savings were all spent, so he began to pawn the things in the family. After a few months, all the things in the family that could be pawned were sold out, and the boy
Fang Zian was reduced to living on the streets and in the marketplace.
They hung out together and did some stealing, robbery and fraud, and gained a bad reputation. A few days ago, the gangsters on the street fought fiercely. Because Fang Zian did not dare to fight, he was kicked out by his gang and was no longer allowed to fight.
He just ate and drank. He was no longer qualified to be a gangster. Fang Zian was hungry at home for several days and finally collapsed. So he drank arsenic and Shuang Yi died.
Those previous experiences were second to none, and the problem now faced was that even basic survival was not guaranteed, which made the newly born Fang Zian find it extremely difficult.
After patrolling the streets for several days, Fang Zian found many ways to survive. Lin'an Prefecture is undergoing great development, and the basic stability of the situation has made Lin'an Prefecture increasingly prosperous. The ten years of peace brought about by the Shaoxing Peace Conference have stabilized people's hearts and the economy.
Development. Lin'an Prefecture is a place connected in all directions, with developed shipping and prosperous commerce, so it is actually not difficult to survive. For example, there is a shortage of coolies on the busy docks on the inland rivers and canals outside the city. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can carry a day's worth of goods.
You can get a big sum of two to three hundred Wen, which is enough to ensure the basic needs for survival. Or you can work as an apprentice or boy in some shops on the street, learn a craft or do chores for others, and you can also survive.
However, for Fang Zian, after traveling through thousands of years to come here, could it be that he came to work as a coolie to do chores for others? This is definitely not the way to develop. Although he is not an elite of the times, he still lives like a fish in water. He graduated from college.
Later, he chose to join the army and performed well in the army. Later, he was injured in the line of duty and had to change his job. Before he was thirty, he took charge of the security department of a small city, which was considered a successful career. But now he has to work in this era
Working as a coolie and a waiter? This is obviously not what Fang Zian wants. Even if he doesn't have any lofty ideals, he should at least live with dignity and dignity.
After some thinking, Fang Zian thought that most of the thousands of years of experience and knowledge he had at this moment were temporarily useless in this era, but there was one thing that was useful, and that was the books he had read in his stomach. Two Song Dynasty Chongwen
, and in this era, studying and taking the imperial examination is the right way to change your destiny once and for all. But having said that, it is not easy to study and take the exam. First of all, it cannot solve the immediate problem of food and clothing, and studying and taking the exam is also not easy.
It costs a lot of money and time.
Fortunately, there is no end to the road. While wandering on the street, Fang Zian saw a notice on the square in front of Lin'an Academy in Yongjinmen. It was a notice for Qixia Academy to recruit students. The notice said,
Qixia Academy recruits young talents for admission. Students who are aspiring to take the imperial examination can sign up for the academy assessment. Once they pass, they can enter the academy to study. Not only will they be provided with rice and books, but they will also automatically be qualified to pass the autumn exam three years later. This condition is really good.
Unbelievable.
Braving some people's looks, Fang Zian asked about it. The imperial court was in the midst of recruiting people, and was vigorously selecting talented people for the imperial court. Qixia Academy is one of the government-run academies, located in Qixia, Qixia Mountain, in the west of the city.
On the mountain, meals are indeed provided for students entering school. However, the entrance examination is extremely strict, and it is not easy to get in. When Fang Zian learned about this situation, he was overjoyed. This was obviously the path he should choose at this moment, since
After solving the problem of food and clothing, he can embark on the right path again. Although three years of study is a long time, he is only a sixteen-year-old boy at the moment and has a lot of time. What's more, he really needs time to understand and
