In the ears is a cicada chirping and frog noise, it seems to be mixed with a few cries and crying, but before I can hear clearly, I have a pain in my brain, as if I have been forced into a large mass of things, that feeling makes people breathe as if they are suffocated, they can't lift their breath, and they subconsciously struggle hard, and the darkness in front of them finally broke through a light with the struggle, and immediately, a haggard face appeared in the eyes, and the complexion was also sallow, and the hair was dry, and it looked malnourished. The next moment, as if something had been hooked up in my mind, information about this woman appeared in my mind.

"Sister-in-law...... Sister-in-law? ......" voice was hoarse and dry, and it brought out a dry pain in the throat.

"Hongsheng, sister-in-law is here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" The woman immediately gently raised her hand and patted it gently.

Hongsheng ...... Who is it? Be...... I?! My name is Xia Hongsheng? No, I'm not Xia Hongsheng, no, I'm Xia Hongsheng...... There was chaos in the mind, like a pot of paste, as if there was another person's mind stirring into his own consciousness. Xia Hongsheng...... Yes, I know, she is calling me, this body is called Xia Hongsheng, but how did I become this body? Thinking of this, Xia Hongsheng hurriedly struggled to sit up, only to see that this was a very dilapidated house, the walls were made of loess and thatch, although the roof was tiled, but several pieces of thatch had been mended on it, and the woman who was sitting on the edge of the bed and supporting herself was wearing an ancient costume with the hair of the ancients.

Datang, the first year of Zhenguan, this place is called Luanzhou City, and the original owner of this body is named Xia Hongsheng, the word Jingshi. The woman in front of him is his sister-in-law, her mother died early, and her father and brother died in the war, it was this sister-in-law who pulled Xia Hongsheng to such a big point.

Xia Hongsheng slowly took a deep breath, closed his eyes and leaned back slightly, the woman quickly leaned behind him on a cushion, Xia Hongsheng leaned on the cushion and closed his eyes, the past scenes emerged one after another, like a movie in the past, at the end, Xia Hongsheng opened his eyes, but in those eyes, there was no more panic and confusion, only silence.

"Sister-in-law, Hongsheng is fine, don't worry." Xia Hongsheng said to the woman very politely, and the woman seemed to be frightened by his polite appearance, and looked at him a little stunned. Xia Hongsheng knew what was going on, he was not strict, but there was an exam in the academy, and he stayed up late and studied hard for several nights in a row, but because of his weak physique, he was overtired for a while and fell into a coma. The original owner of this body was very poor, and the only one who could support the family was his sister-in-law and a daughter-in-law, and he gritted his teeth to support Xia Hongsheng to go to the academy, and just like that, he had already spent all the pensions after his father and brother died in the war, and there was no extra money to take care of the food in his mouth. Xia Hongsheng glanced at the woman beside the bed, who was only twenty-two years old, but looked like she was forty-two years old, all because she had suffered too much. The original owner of this body is only a teenager, and he is still a child, and he knows that his sister-in-law used up a few qiē in the family to send herself to the academy, so he also knows hard work, although the talent is not excellent, but fortunately, he knows how to work hard and endure hardships, and his grades have always been good. In this examination in the academy, the first place can become the disciple of the head of the academy, Xia Hongsheng gritted his teeth and swore that he must get the first, if nothing else, in order to become a disciple of the head of the academy, he can be exempted from the cost of the academy, if the performance is good, maybe he can also get some rewards from the head of the mountain, in exchange for money and food to subsidize the family. That's why I stayed up all night and studied hard, and as a result, I fell into a coma.

"God is pitiful, it's really God's eyes, ancestors bless, you can be regarded as waking up, my Xia family is left with your lone seedling......" looked up and down carefully, and found that there seemed to be really nothing, two lines of tears immediately rolled down the woman's eyes, and she thanked the gods and goddesses with her hands together, and then said to Xia Hongsheng: "If you have anything more, how can I be worthy of your father and brother?" ”

"Sister-in-law, don't cry, I'm not without something!" Xia Hongsheng shook his head, smiled, and took advantage of the young age of this body now, and hurriedly sold a cute, so that her sister-in-law burst into laughter. However, soon, a sad look appeared on the woman's face, as if she had something to say to Xia Hongsheng, but she didn't know how to speak. Although Xia Hongsheng still looks like the same Xia Hongsheng on the surface, he is no longer the little boy who is incomprehensible and sophisticated, where can he not see that a woman has something to say, so he smiled and asked again: "Sister-in-law, is there something to tell Sù Hongsheng?" Just say yes, don't worry. ”

Hearing Xia Hongsheng ask, the woman bit her lip before she said cautiously: "Hongsheng, you listen to your sister-in-law, don't be annoyed, there are small tests in the academy every year, you are still young, we are not bad this year!" ……”

Without waiting for her to finish, Xia Hongsheng guessed what she wanted to say, so he asked, "Sister-in-law, did I miss the exam in the academy?" ”

The woman hesitated, but finally gritted her teeth and nodded.

However, what she was worried about didn't seem to happen, because after Xia Hongsheng heard that he missed the exam, he didn't have a particularly big reaction, just nodded "oh", and there was no follow-up.

This makes the woman even more worried, her little uncle has been a stuffy gourd since he was a child, and he likes to hold it in his heart when he has something, otherwise he wouldn't have put so much pressure on himself, but now he has no reaction, and he thinks that Xia Hongsheng is holding it in his heart again. Just as he was about to say a few words of comfort, he heard a voice from outside the door: "Old man Luanzhou Academy teaches, is there anyone in the house?" ”

College Teaching? Oops, this is the teacher! Xia Hongsheng's sister-in-law hurriedly agreed outside, while immediately helping Xia Hongsheng, who was about to get out of bed, and when she went out of the house, she saw an old man in Heyi standing in the courtyard surrounded by a small fence, followed by a young man who might be a little older than Xia Hongsheng.

The moment he saw the old man, Xia Hongsheng's mind immediately flooded with the old man's information, and he quickly broke free from his sister-in-law, walked quickly to the front and bowed respectfully, and said, "The student didn't know that the master was coming, and he couldn't meet him from afar, please forgive the master!" ”

The old man waved his hand, causing Xia Hongsheng to straighten up, look up and down, and ask: "Jingshi, the old man heard that your sister-in-law asked someone to take leave, saying that you were in a coma and never woke up, how is your body now?" Did you invite Lang Zhong to take a look? ”

"Meng Fuzi cares, the student just woke up not long ago, but it was just caused by staying up late for days, and there is no big problem." Xia Hongsheng's attitude is very respectful, the old man in front of him is his husband in the academy, he treats him very well on weekdays, and his explanation of knowledge is also very fine, he has never looked down on him because of his family's poverty, and he has a lot of care, so he can't be disrespectful.

"That's fine, Jingshi, although you missed the exam, you don't need to worry too much, the mountain chief is not closed, and the exam will be taken again next year." The old man raised his hand and patted Xia Hongsheng on the shoulder, relieved.

The young man behind the old man also stretched out his hand with a smile at this time, handed over the things in his hand, and said: "Senior Brother Jingshi, what Mr. said is very true, let's take the exam again next year, haha, Brother Wei didn't get a first class this time, and he was not received under the seat of the old mountain chief, but the white fool came with a few poems that he didn't know where to buy, and took advantage of it!" ”

The young man had a hippie smile, and he didn't seem to be annoyed at all that he didn't get into the mountain chief's door, and he also laughed at the classmates who got the first class. That white fool is another classmate of the academy, he is not really stupid, and he also has some real talents, but he also likes to be opportunistic, relying on the power of his family to do a lot of things to bully his classmates, and he knows how to please the gentlemen of the academy, so the students in the academy are either jealous or resentful, and they call the white fool in private.

"Nonsense!" Seeing that his students were open-mouthed, the old gentleman was immediately dissatisfied, his eyes widened, and he said: "Those who study are not as good as others, and if they lose, they will be defeated, and they don't know how to catch up diligently, but they are here to arrange people who are honest, be careful that the old man beats your handboard!" ”

The young man hurriedly lowered his head and bowed his eyebrows and said, "The student knows that he is wrong!" ”

However, while talking, he was still squeezing his eyes and raising his eyebrows at Xia Hongsheng behind Mr.

"Please rest assured, sir, Senior Brother Xu, Jingshi will not be depressed because of this, I missed it this time, and I will take the exam again next year, it doesn't matter." For the kindness of others, it is natural to be grateful, Xia Hongsheng bowed to the two of them very respectfully, and said.

Seeing that Xia Hongsheng was fine, the two comforted Xia Hongsheng a few more words and left. Xia Hongsheng and his sister-in-law returned to the house, and the sister-in-law untied the two bags of things, and suddenly made an "oops", and her eyes were full of surprise. Xia Hongsheng looked up and saw that there was some millet in one bag, but there was a piece of meat in the other bag, heh, it was still beef! Beef is not ordinary, as a tool for farming, cattle this kind of livestock in ancient times is a treasure in a family, not only to take care of it, but also can not hurt, slaughtering cattle is a felony, sue to the government, is to be taken by the government! Even if the cow dies of illness or natural old age, it must also be reported to the government, and the government needs to send someone to verify the cause of death. Not to mention the poor families, even those wealthy gentry and dignitaries are not able to eat beef if they want to!

"This piece of beef is not a blessing for our family, Hongsheng, you wait for your sister-in-law, and your sister-in-law will take it to exchange some food for the rich family!" The sister-in-law excitedly picked up the piece of beef, carefully wrapped it tightly, and said excitedly.

Looking at the cold walls of the four walls, Xia Hongsheng caught a glimpse of a few green onions leaning against the door, and suddenly his heart moved, and he turned his head to his sister-in-law and said, "Sister-in-law, wait for me." ”

Saying that, Xia Hongsheng went over the stove, came out with a kitchen knife, and then cut off a little bit of fat on the beef, and then said: "It's a pity, it would be better if there was lard...... Forget it, sister-in-law, if you want to change it, don't change the rice, and change more noodles and oil to come back, and teach you a craft that can earn food! ”
