Wei Chen did not feel frustrated for long. He was born to be an optimist. He quickly recovered from the tragic real-life experience and continued to comfort himself in his heart.
"The house, the land, the land, etc. are all external possessions. At least I, Wei Chen, am still alive, and that's enough... Oh no, from now on, I should call myself Wei Chen."
Wei Chen calmed down, tried hard to overcome the absurd feeling of intertwining time and space, exhaled a sigh of relief, and got up from the bed with difficulty.
At this time, the door was pushed open with a creak, and a man's exclamation came.
"Oh, my dear, come and see, Brother Chen is awake!"
Wei Chen looked up and saw a man standing in front of the door with a face full of surprise. The man was in his thirties, about seven feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a strong square face. However, the man's face looked a bit weathered, so he should
It’s because of years of hard work.
After a while, there was another noise outside the door. A woman came over after hearing the sound. Wei Chen took a closer look and saw that this woman was wearing a jingchai sarong. However, her appearance could not be concealed, and her temperament was far better than those of ordinary clumsy peasant women.
.
Wei Chen had already accepted the memory of his predecessor, so he naturally recognized these two people. They were the Zhangs and his wife who had nurtured his predecessor. During the days when his predecessor was seriously ill and could not afford to die, he relied on the Zhangs and his wife to take care of him.
The man's name is Zhang Ming, and he is not a native of Youyang, but a refugee from the north.
When they arrived at Xiyin Village, Zhang Ming had run out of dry food and had not had any water or rice for three days. He was about to starve to death. Wei Mingzhao happened to return home from school in the county and found Zhang Ming who had fainted at the entrance of the village and took him back.
The family gave him porridge and water and took good care of him, so Zhang Ming was able to save his life.
Zhang Ming settled in Xiyin Village from then on, relying on his own strength to work as a farmhand for the big families in the village, working hard and without complaint. Over the past few years, he had saved several acres of thin farmland.
As for his wife Wei Ruyi, she has lived in Xiyin Village for generations, farming and studying. Her father Wei An is also a scholar like Wei Mingzhao. Although he has not passed the college examination, he has passed the county examination and the government examination.
He is considered a preparatory scholar.
When Wei An was thirty-six years old, he contracted a serious illness and his family began to decline.
Wei Ruyi's sister Wei Shuyi was only twenty-eight years old at the time, when a woman was at her most youthful and beautiful, but she was forced to sell herself to an official as a side wife in exchange for money to treat her father's illness. p>
Unfortunately, Wei An still died of illness. After Wei Ruyi passed away, the elders of the same clan made the decision and betrothed to Zhang Ming, who was not yet married at the time.
Zhang Ming is a migrant or a hired servant, and his family only has a few acres of thin farmland. If Wei Ruyi's family had not fallen into decline, Zhang Ming would never have been able to marry such a beautiful and literate girl.
Therefore, after getting married, Zhang Ming cherished Wei Ruyi very much. The couple lived in harmony, and although their life was a bit bitter, it was also enjoyable.
Just one year later, Wei Ruyi gave birth to a fat boy named Zhang Xu, who just turned seven this year.
Recalling the tragic experience of Wei Ruyi's family, and then thinking of what happened to his predecessor, Wei Chen couldn't help but shudder.
In ancient times, this disease was too terrible. It often destroyed families. Wei Ruyi's family and his own family were all destroyed by the disease. Even the emperor who was pampered and pampered only escaped the disaster by good luck.
I must take good exercise in the future. Radio gymnastics, baduanjin, eye exercises, etc., must be slowly trained on this weak body.
Just as Wei Chen was thinking about it, Wei Ruyi, who was standing at the door, said, "Brother Chen, your illness is just right and you can't move around freely. Just rest in bed and drink the medicine first."
As Wei Ruyi said this, she walked to the bed, handed over a medicine bowl, scooped out a spoonful of brown soup, blew it to her mouth a few times, and then carefully placed it to Wei Chen's mouth.
Wei Chen glanced at the bowl of soup that didn't look very tasty, knowing that Zhang Ming and Wei Ruyi must have worked hard to get it for him. Although Wei Chen was a little resistant, he still obediently put his head together.
He walked over, frowned and took a sip.
To Wei Chen's surprise, the medicine was not as bitter as he imagined, but rather bitter and sweet.
Seeing Wei Chen's brows softening, Zhang Ming said happily: "I know Brother Chen, you haven't liked taking medicine since you were a child, so I bought some apricot nectar and mixed it in. The doctor said it will help you recover." p>
Wei Chen's nose felt slightly sore, and he wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't say a word.
Noticing the change in his expression, Wei Ruyi quickly said to Zhang Ming: "Okay, I've drank the medicine today. It's already so late. Let's talk about anything tomorrow. What Brother Chen needs now is to rest."
"Oh, yes, yes, brother Chen, please rest first. We will come see you tomorrow."
Zhang Ming was gently pulled at the corner of his clothes by his wife, and then he reacted belatedly. He opened the corners of his mouth to reveal a few big yellow teeth and smiled naively at Wei Chen to say goodbye. He blew out the oil lamp, turned around and closed the door. The room was dark, and Wei Chen lay on the bed, looking at the moonlight outside the window, unable to calm down for a long time.
He is not worried about the food and clothing in front of him. Although this does seem to be a big problem, with Zhang Ming and Wei Ruyi here, at least he will not starve to death.
He is not worried about his future destiny, because he believes that as long as he can recover, his destiny will be in his own hands.
The reason why he couldn't sleep was because he found that he didn't reject the Zhang couple's care at all, and even felt a little eager and excited.
Is it because of the fusion of memories? Or is it because I was too lonely in my previous life?
Wei Chen is hard to tell.
But his past life experience made him understand that hard work and struggle can buy success and status, money and beautiful women, but they cannot buy sincere feelings, which are the most precious things in the world.
Therefore, Wei Chen decided to open his heart, work hard to accept this gift from God, and enjoy this hard-won relationship.
……
I spent the whole night in random thoughts, and before I knew it, it was daylight, and birds were chirping for food outside the window, which also woke up Wei Chen in the bed.
After waking up, Wei Chen felt that he was in much better spirits and the pain in his body had been reduced by most.
After all, he is only ten years old, and his youth is his capital, and his restored vitality is thousands of times stronger than those of the decrepit old people.
Wei Chen put on his clothes, stretched out his hands and feet, slowly moved his feet under the bed, tapped his toes, and put on his shoes.
After barely walking a few steps while holding on to the wall, Wei Chen finally got a glimpse of the whole room. Only then did he realize that there was actually a bookcase placed in the corner of the west wall of the room.
Of course, it's barely a bookcase, just a poplar shelf set up on the wall, with dozens of books sparsely placed on it.
Wei Chen remembered that these were the collection of books left by Wei Mingzhao.
This is the benefit of having a scholar father. Although Wei Mingzhao has passed away many years ago, all the books he read during his lifetime have been left behind.
Wei Chen picked up a book at random and glanced at the cover. It was "Analects of Confucius", which is the annotation of "The Analects of Confucius" in the Four Books and Five Classics. The three characters Wei Mingzhao were written on the title page.
Wei Chen opened the book. The pages were made of white cotton paper. The font was similar to Wei Chen's Song style in his previous life. Of course, it was traditional Chinese.
Wei Chen studied ancient philology in his previous life. He had read a large number of ancient books written in traditional Chinese characters and was already familiar with the conversion of simplified and traditional Chinese characters.
This "Analects of Confucius" has exquisite paper and ink, and is well-engraved. It also contains circled sentences left by Wei Mingzhao, so it is very easy for Wei Chen to read.
If you encounter something you don't understand, you can also read the notes left by Wei Mingzhao on the page of the book, combine them with Wei Chen's memories of previous lives, compare the two, and you can easily solve the problem.
After reading it through, Wei Chen had a whim and tried to memorize it silently. To Wei Chen's surprise, he actually memorized the first volume of "Analects of Confucius" directly!
Wei Chen himself was shocked when he accomplished this feat. According to the memory of his predecessor, he was obviously dull and had not even memorized the simplest "Three Character Classic". How could he suddenly become so powerful?
Wei Chen couldn't believe it, so he quickly turned to the second volume and continued reading. After reading each volume, he tried to memorize it silently. After memorizing it, he compared it with the original text to check whether there were any errors or omissions.
One morning later, Wei Chen closed his book and fell into deep thought as he looked at the Commentary on the Analects of Confucius, which he had memorized by heart.
After rebirth, I actually became a genius of endorsement?
