Portable space

Chapter 3 Rebirth

I don't know how long it has passed, it seems like a while, and it seems like a century.

Zhang Taiping opened his eyes, subconsciously raised his arms to block the dazzling light.

After his eyes got used to the strong light, Zhang Taiping froze.What stood in front of his eyes was not a ghost-like numb hand, but a thick and powerful arm.Even the previous legs are far inferior.

Zhang Taiping suddenly felt panic, and twisted his stiff neck to look around the environment.I was not lying on a soft bed at home, but on a kang made of bricks and earth.

Suddenly, he said "ah." He hugged his head as if it was about to explode.A memory flooded in like a tide.

I remember that I was sitting on a chair in the park when it suddenly rained heavily.Being drenched, he was dizzy and hid under a tree to avoid the rain.Because he scolded God, he was struck by lightning by the stingy God.

Just when he thought he was going to die, the jade pendant that he had been wearing before walking suddenly absorbed a large amount of lightning, released a dazzling white light and sucked himself in who had already floated into the air, and then rushed into the colorful passageway created by the lightning .

On the other side of the passage is a stretch of dark mountains.I have been floating along the mountain with the jade pendant.

Until, until I saw a mother and daughter crying in horror while hugging a man lying on the ground.

The man lying on the ground had a hole between his eyebrows, and blood gushed out like a spring, flowing down his cheeks all over his face, it was truly terrifying.And there was a sharp stone next to the head, and the tip of the stone was stained with blood.It must be that the man stumbled and just hit the point of the stone on the forehead.

The man's legs twitched, and his eyes began to roll upwards.In the eyes of Zhang Taiping, who has some knowledge of Chinese medicine, this is a sign of dying, and there is no way to save it.

The woman seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and gestured to the little girl.Desperately ran along the path towards the mountain behind him.

The four or five-year-old girl pressed her hand tightly to the wound that was still bleeding out.The small face turned blue from fright, and the small mouth was still muttering something.

Zhang Taiping curiously wanted to get close to the little girl.

However, something weird happened.As if being pulled by a strange force, the jade pendant turned into a stream of light and pierced through the wound between the man's eyebrows.

After that, the wound between the man's eyebrows began to fuse at a speed visible to the naked eye.But Zhang Taiping fell into darkness.

"You don't have to worry, he won't die yet." An old but mid-spirited voice said.

The woman gestured again.

"Grandpa, Mom asked your dad why he didn't wake up." The little girl's voice was interpreting.

"It's nothing serious, it's just that I lost too much blood before, and now my body is very weak."

The old man was silent for a while and then said: "There is a possibility of losing memory or becoming a fool. Alas! The injury to the head is serious, and I am very happy to be alive."

The woman's body trembled violently, her face pale.The little girl didn't dare to speak anymore, and tightly grabbed the corner of her mother's clothes.

As if thinking of something angry, the old man said angrily again: "It's good to become a fool, but it will save you from being as useless as before, always making trouble."

Although the old man spoke harshly, Zhang Taiping, who had already woken up and squinted his eyes, could see the flash of sadness on the old man's face.

In fact, Zhang Taiping woke up not long after the three of them entered the house, but he didn't know how to face the family, so he kept pretending to be asleep.

Zhang Taiping, who has been fighting at the starting point for several years, knows that he has been reborn.Specifically, it is the resurrection of the dead.

The original owner of this body was also called Zhang Taiping, and the previous memory belonged to him.

He is an only son.His parents had a car accident when he was 15 years old, and his grandmother was extremely sad and died of depression not long after.After grandma left, grandpa also changed drastically.He moved to the back mountain alone, built a wooden house next to the graves of his parents and grandma, and stayed there.

With no one to discipline him, he has been fooling around in the town since graduating from junior high school.With his tall man and some skills taught by his grandfather in the early years, he also created some notoriety in the town.

Later, some people organized to steal the cables of the brick factory, and were caught by the police station.Asking the family to pay 3000 yuan to redeem it, grandpa just ignored it.So he was locked up in the prison for three months before being released.

After he came out, he became honest and learned carpentry from an old carpenter in the village for two years.

At the age of 19, my grandfather suddenly went down the mountain.I found a witness in the village, and regardless of his resistance, he married the baby girl who was a dumb girl at the opposite door.

Although he stopped stealing after getting married, he became obsessed with gambling.I don't know if people are afraid of his father and father, or because he is a good gambler.Anyway, there has never been a bloody incident of selling a house or selling a wife, but there is no money left in hand.

Especially in the past two years it has intensified.Carpentry was also abandoned.He lost all the money his wife earned from farming the land and planting fruit trees.After returning home, he even punched his wife.One is that he thinks his wife is dumb and makes him lose his position outside, and the other is that his wife didn't give birth to a child with a handle and gave birth to a loser.

Last night, I lost all my money, drank some wine, heard some gossip, and went home staggeringly.

If one foot is not steady, the current Zhang Taiping is cheaper.

Zhang Taiping opened his eyes.The first thing he saw was not the two adults who were thinking about each other, but the little girl who had been secretly watching him.

The little girl is the daughter of this body, she is four years old and has no name yet.Yaya, Yaya all the time.

Seeing him open his eyes, Yaya quickly hid behind her mother.Gently tugged at the corner of the woman's clothes.

The woman is the mute wife of this body, named Cai Yazhi.It's just that the previous Zhang Taiping kept shouting dumbly.

Cai Yazhi's natal family is the opposite door.Her parents also died in that car accident, as did the parents of this body.She and her younger sister, Cai Xiaomei, who was three years younger, were left behind.

She raised her head and saw Zhang Taiping woke up, looking very happy.He made gestures to the old man sitting on the chair.

The old man is the grandfather of this body.It is said that he used to be a field doctor who participated in the Liberation War and settled here after liberation.

Zhang Taiping just knew that the old man was very skilled. Even though he was about 80 years old, it was not a problem for one person to deal with two or three.I just don't know why grandma stayed on the mountain and didn't come down after she left, and didn't pay attention to her grandson.

The old man turned around, put two fingers on Zhang Taiping's wrist, closed his eyes and listened for the pulse for a while.Suddenly asked: "Do you know who I am?"

Zhang Taiping was taken aback for a moment, then understood and nodded.

The old man observed for a while and asked about symptoms.After confirming that nothing happened, he stood up and said, "It's your fate, it's nothing serious, just make up for it."

Looking at the old man's face, Zhang Taiping opened his mouth to call Grandpa, but there seemed to be something stuck in his throat, so he couldn't yell out.

Seeing his expression, the old man gave a "hum", flicked his sleeves and walked out.When he got to the door, he said, "If you can get off the kang, go get some medicine from me."

After the old man left, Cai Yazhi gestured towards Zhang Taiping.

Zhang Taiping, who was thinking about what to say, was confused, but still didn't understand what she wanted to express.

Although they have lived together for five years, there is no tacit understanding between husband and wife.Zhang Taiping despised his predecessor for a while.

"Father, Mommy asked you what you have for lunch." Yaya quickly cast a glance at the frowning Zhang Taiping, and lowered her head like a bunny and said timidly.

Yaya's actions fell into Zhang Taiping's eyes, making him feel dumb.

I couldn't help laughing at myself, thinking that you were so majestic in your previous life, even your own daughter was so afraid of you.

While mourning for him, the guilt caused by occupying the body is gradually weakened.

Shaking his head, he suppressed his thoughts and said, "Let's make some millet porridge."

For authentic northern farmers, what is rare is not these by-products such as millet, red beans, and mung beans that can be sold at a good price in big cities, but rice.

Most parts of the north are dry and water-scarce, and the land is barren.It is suitable for drought-resistant and cold-resistant crops such as wheat, corn, and sorghum millet.

After the reform and opening up, with the development of science and technology, the output of wheat and corn increased rapidly.At present, wheat and corn are mainly used in large areas in the north, and sorghum and millet have been gradually abandoned due to poor taste or low yield.Wheat is planted in winter, corn is harvested in summer, and the two seasons are rotated throughout the year.

Rice cannot be grown in this mountainous area.If you want to eat, you can only buy it.

And millet is also called millet here.Zhang Taiping remembered that his family planted some for a rare meal.

After Cai Yazhi heard this, she hurried to the kitchen to prepare, and Yaya hurriedly followed, as if Zhang Taiping was a monster.Watching Zhang Taiping laughed at himself again.

After all, he just lost too much blood yesterday, even a tough guy couldn't stand it.After talking for a while, sleepiness hit.

Not long after closing his eyes, the mute wife gently woke him up.

Holding a wooden tray in his hand.There are two big old bowls and a shallow bamboo basket on the wooden plate.

In the bamboo basket are pot helmets cut into triangles.It is the kind of pot helmet that is known as a special product of Shaanxi and has spread its reputation all over the country.Baoji Fufeng and Qishan pot helmets are the most famous, and they are sold at every train station or bus station.

It belongs to the Guanzhong area in the hinterland of Shaanxi and is under the jurisdiction of Xi'an.The pot helmet is also on the right track.

Two old bowls, one containing sauerkraut, but it is not called sauerkraut here, it is called shuishuicai, which is pickled with wild vegetables.

The other bowl is porridge, which looks like more soup than rice.It's not that the dumb wife abused him and was reluctant to feed him.But there is an allusion.

It is said that during the war years, all the men of a family were conscripted to fight, and only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were left in the family.

The daughter-in-law is very filial, and she does all the farm work by herself.I also wash and cook for my mother-in-law, and bring water to my mother-in-law every night to wash her feet.The main food is millet, and every time I just make some soup for myself and leave the rice for my mother-in-law.

But the strange thing is that the mother-in-law is getting thinner and thinner, but the daughter-in-law is getting fatter and fatter.

So someone asked the mother-in-law if the daughter-in-law abused her.

The mother-in-law quickly defended her daughter-in-law: "My daughter-in-law is very filial to me. She washes and cooks for me, and washes my feet. Every time I eat, I leave all the rice for me, and I just drink some soup."

From this, people know that the nutrition of millet is all in the soup.

Putting the wooden plate in front of and behind Zhang Taiping, the mute wife and the little girl sat at the low wooden table not far from the kang.As expected, there was more rice and less soup in the bowl.

Zhang Taiping picked up the old bowl and took a sip of the porridge.The unique taste of millet blooms on the taste buds, with the fragrance of red beans sandwiched in it.It makes people unconsciously lighten their foreheads and increase their appetite.

Pick up a piece of pot helmet, more than three centimeters thick.The outer two layers of skin are burnt with oil, and the soft inner flesh is sandwiched in the middle.

Take a bite.The skin is crispy and has a slight vegetable oil smell.The medium is soft and delicious, like bread, but more chewy, with a hint of sweetness.

A quick gulp settles a piece.Picking up the bowl, with the sour and cool vegetables in water, he choked and ate the old bowl.It took two more pot helmets to feel full.He patted his full stomach lightly, and his spirit improved a lot.

He raised his head, just in time to bump into Yaya who was peeking over again.

Little Yaya panicked and turned her head hastily.

Seeing that the little girl was about to stuff her head into the bowl bigger than her head, Zhang Taiping couldn't help but smile.There is a warm feeling spreading in my heart, warm.

Although he also wanted the little guy to act like a baby in his arms, but Zhang Taiping, who had a ghost in his heart, knew that there must be a process and there must be a process.Otherwise, it will be too sudden and will arouse suspicion.People suspect that the illusory possibility of reviving the dead is indeed very small, but if you are not afraid of [-], you should be afraid of it. Just to be on the safe side, it is better not to make abnormal behaviors.
