Chapter 1 Want to travel back
In early summer, birds sing and flowers scented in the sun!
A dilapidated fenced courtyard, a dilapidated thatched hut made of bamboo, wood and soil, half of which was already crooked and seemed to collapse at any time.
There is a lush apricot tree in the courtyard with thick trunks and branches. The thick sunlight shines through the leaves. Countless green apricots sway in the wind, making people's mouths full of clear water.
A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy was wearing a torn squatted on a tree branch a few meters above the ground, touching around, and muttering something in his mouth.
"The Jade Emperor, Jesus God, Bodhi Patriarch, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, please let the gods do it well and send me back. I will never cross the road through the red lights again, and I promise not to do Meituan's fast food again..."
"Brother, come down quickly, be careful to fall down again!"
A little girl who looked seven or eight years old and wearing shabby linen clothes walked out of the room and shouted, her thin body was like a gust of wind, her cheeks were shriveled, and she looked like she was malnourished for a long time.
The boy stayed on the tree for another two minutes before he reluctantly slid down the trunk. At the same time, he still unwilling to touch the trunk everywhere, as if he wanted to find a hole and crawl into it.
The young man's name is Chen Xu, and the little girl is his sister, but what others don't know is that the soul in this body has changed to the boss.
The matter starts three days ago.
Three days ago, Chen Xu was also one of the mysterious organization Meituan Takeout Express Army hundreds of thousands of express delivery teams. He rode an electric bike to deliver fast food every day with a yellow helmet and a yellow vest.
It is necessary for takeaway brothers to grab orders and time, and it is common to run red lights in order to grab time.
In the past, I often heard in the news that the delivery guy ran a red light and died of a wheel and left his wife and children, but the probability of such a thing was very small after all. There were only three or five take it seriously by hundreds of thousands of takeaway troops across the country.
But the so-called long-term journey of night will hit ghosts. The King of Hell wants to invite you to have tea and the Jade Emperor can't stop it.
So Chen Xu passed through the intersection at the moment when he saw the red light on, but he was hit by an off-road vehicle and woke up and found himself lying in a thatched hut that was so dilapidated that he had almost nothing.
But in fact, it can't be considered as having nothing, at least there is a big hole in the roof.
The bright sunlight shone down and just fell on him.
Warm and very considerate!
Although his body is hot, Chen Xu's heart is cold.
When a thin and dirty little girl in coarse linen ran in and called her brother in surprise, he almost had the same reaction from most time travelers, that is, he traveled through time, and it was a very common soul travel. He was hit and killed by a car, and then his soul traveled through time and space and lived on the little girl's brother.
Almost an hour later, Chen Xu completely accepted the fact that he had become a member of the army of millions of times.
A single takeaway dog who is twenty-five years old and has no girlfriend. She is dressed like a 14-year-old boy, but Chen Xu is not happy at all.
Not only was the body possessed by the soul, but what made him even more sad and angry was that the family was too poor and could not be described as being barely barred. Apart from the shaky thatched hut, there were only two women.
A little girl with no name, seven years old, is his sister.
A woman in her thirties, named Chen Jiangshi, is his mother.
Without a father, his father was recruited to fight four years ago and has never returned since then, leaving three people to rely on each other for their lives.
The little girl didn't say anything and knew nothing. Judging from the very limited information Chen Jiang got, after a simple inference, Chen Xu was scared. The first thing he did when he got out of bed was to climb onto the apricot tree in the yard to try to find the wormhole he had traveled through and traveled back.
Perhaps in that world, under the advanced high-tech medical technology, the body that was hit by a car can be saved well. Even if the arm is missing and the legs are broken, it is a hundred times better than staying in this terrible era.
But obviously Chen Xu's wish was dashed. He squatted on the branches of the apricot tree for a long time, let alone the wormhole in time and space, he didn't even see a single eye of the insect.
Now he sat on a stone under the apricot tree, staring blankly at the shaking thatched hut in front of him.
It is said that this young man, also known as Chen Xu, was climbing onto an apricot tree to get a bird's nest, fell and fainted. He lay on the bed for three days before he woke up.
Of course no one knows that what he woke up was no longer the soul of a boy, but a single monster who lived more than two thousand years old after living at the age of twenty-five.
The reason why Chen Xu was afraid of traveling back time was mainly because his family was poor.
Before traveling through time, Chen Xu's family was not rich, otherwise he would not have fallen to the point of delivering food.
The reason for fear is the result of inferring the limited information obtained from Chen Jiang's mouth.
The country you live in now is called Qin, and now you are in Nanyang County.
His father Chen Hu was recruited and served four years ago and joined the Qin army to destroy Chu. Chu State soon failed and was completely annexed by Qin State. However, Chen Hu's whereabouts were unknown and no news came back.
According to the history that Chen Xu generally remembers, if he had not traveled to another world, then Qin unified the country in only three or four years after destroying the Chu State. Today, China should have entered the rule of the unified Qin Empire. The largest boss in China today should be Qin Shihuang, who is known as the emperor of the ages.
But it was this Qin Dada who made him feel unparalleled fear.
According to historical records, the Qin Dynasty was strong in the army and had strict laws. Any man aged fifteen to sixty years old needed to serve in the military. It was almost considered that the whole people were soldiers. What was even more terrifying was that after Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he began to build the Great Wall, dig canals, build various expressways connecting the country, conquered Baiyue and Lingnan, and conscripted hundreds of thousands of slaves. Almost all the people of China lived in an extremely oppressive and terrifying environment.
Moreover, under the strict household registration system and under the Baojia joint position system, no one can escape surveillance and constraints.
These were not fabricated out of thin air. There are many records and explanations of the laws and regulations of the Qin Dynasty in the Yunmeng Qin Slips unearthed in later generations. That is to say, the person who wrote about the Qin Slips is now an official in some place, and is even carving those bamboo slips.
The household registration system invented by the Qin Dynasty continued to be used until the New China. It was precisely because of the household registration system that the Chinese people were firmly tied to the land two thousand years later.
The Qin Dynasty, which is known as the greatest dynasty in Chinese history, is actually the darkest era in history, so its national destiny is the shortest. The Qin Dynasty, including the second generation Hu Hai, existed for only fourteen years, and then it was declared collapse in the great uprising of the nation.
Chen Xu had no qualifications to comment on the merits and demerits of Qin Shihuang. After all, the Emperor of the ages completed the unification of China for the first time. The reforms such as the same track, the same writing, and the same system of the same system finally condensed the Chinese nation into a great civilization. From then on, he created a brilliant glory for more than two thousand years in the future, almost allowing the Chinese nation to stand at the peak of human civilization on earth.
But looking at history and being in history are two completely different concepts.
In this primitive and chaotic era of the Qin Dynasty, it was not easy to use with more than two thousand years of historical experience and cultural knowledge in later generations, because Qin Shihuang was so powerful that now he was powerful and no one could resist his will. Even strong men such as Xiang Yu and Liu Bang only dared to rebel after he died.
