My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 1 Entering another world
When a person guards an [-]-square-meter World Expo hall, he doesn't know what kind of strange thoughts he will have, especially since the hall is still in a power outage.

Now that Jia Yu was walking in this huge and dark hall, he felt particularly frightened.

He held a flashlight in his left hand and held the electric baton tightly in his right hand. With the light of the flashlight, he looked at the dazzling array of products. However, in the empty conference hall, the frightening feeling lingered.

Suddenly, a dazzling white light came from the window, dispersing all the darkness. At the same time, the strong sunlight also made Jia Yu, who was accustomed to the darkness, suddenly unable to see anything. Then Jia Yu, who could not see anything, suddenly He felt a wave of heat wrap around his whole body.

He felt as if his whole body was on fire, as if his whole body was on fire. People who have not been burned by fire would not understand the heart-wrenching sting, as if all the nerves in his body were boiling.

The unspeakable pain is followed by eternal darkness.

"what……"

Jia Yu opened his eyes again. He endured the severe pain in his mind, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, trying to calm his violently beating heart. After about five or six minutes, he opened his eyes again.

The first thing that catches the eye is a shabby quilt that is so shabby that no color can be seen. If you breathe a little louder, a bad smell will go straight into your nose.

Beside the bed is an old table with a rough porcelain teapot on the table and a porcelain bowl next to it. Next to the table is a stool with only three legs.
Jia Yu didn't speak. She endured the lingering pain in her mind and lifted the quilt and sat up. She reached out to pick up the porcelain bowl from the table, grabbed the teapot and poured half a bowl of water into it, then drank it all.

After the cold tea entered her stomach, Jia Yu's thinking gradually became clear.

"I have been dreaming about my past life for seven consecutive days. I have already traveled to this damn world. Why is the memory of my past life still so clear?"

After thinking for a while, Jia Yu felt a dull pain in his head again. He touched the back of his head, and a thumb-sized bump was particularly clear, and at the same time, a tingling pain came from his mind.

He knew that it was this bag that killed the original owner, and it was this bag that allowed him to occupy the body of a man with the same name.

"Gollum..."

There was a sound, and at the same time there was a strong feeling of hunger in the stomach. This body was reminding itself that it was time to eat.

Jia Yu reluctantly put his hand into his arms and groped for a long time, and took out two copper coins that had been rubbed out of the cytoplasm. On the copper coins, the four traditional Chinese characters "Daxia Tongbao" could be vaguely seen. This was the only thing he had now. of all property.

"Dong dong dong... dong dong dong..."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the rhythm of the knocks was particularly intensive.

Hearing such a rapid knock on the door, Jia Yu's expression turned unpleasant.

Among the people, anyone who understands some sense will not knock on the door like this.

"coming!"

Jia Yu shouted, got out of bed and opened the door. Suddenly, a biting cold wind came to his face, almost making him sneeze.

Then there was a man in his thirties, slightly fat, with a goatee, wearing a blue cloth robe and a melon cap on his head.

He looked gloomy and said to Jia Yu with a smile on his face: "Sir, you are already half a month in arrears with the rent of the store.

Your rent is 750 cents per day, and Chenghui is [-] cents. I wonder when you will pay it? "

Jia Yu suppressed the displeasure in her heart, forced a smile, and cupped her hands: "Shopkeeper Hu, my relative has not come back from a long trip a few days ago. I will open the store immediately after he comes back in two days." The money is settled.”

"settle?"

Shopkeeper Hu looked at him sideways and said contemptuously: "I call you Mr. Jia just to give you face. Do you really think you are a young man from the Duke's mansion?
Now you go out and ask around on the streets. People in this street don't know that you are just a poor man who came from Jinling to seek refuge with your relatives in the capital of God.

To tell you the truth, if you don't pay me the rent today, don't blame me for kicking you out. I'll take you to the Shuntian Mansion Yamen and give you a taste of what it's like to be in charge. "

"you……"

Regardless of whether Jia Yu had experienced this kind of birdiness in his past or present life, he still held it back.

Repaying debts is a matter of course. Although the shopkeeper said something unpleasant, he was responsible for his own fault.

Moreover, from the corner of his eye, he also saw two sturdy shop assistants standing not far from the door. He also thought that with his current weak body, he could not even walk steadily, let alone those two assistants. I don't think even Shopkeeper Hu can defeat him. If he is really reckless, it will really become a seven-day trip to another world.

"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Hu, I will return your money to you as soon as possible."

Shopkeeper Hu interrupted him: "Not as soon as possible, but you must return it to me today."

"Okay... I'll give it back to you today." Jia Yu's nails had pierced into the palm of her hand because of too much force.

Hearing what Jia Yu said, a strange color flashed in Hu Changgui's eyes, and suddenly he showed his trademark smiley expression, and he lowered his voice:
"Mr. Jia, actually you don't have to be so embarrassed. I told you a few days ago that as long as you are willing to transfer the jade pendant you are wearing to me, I will not only waive the rent, but also provide additional compensation. I’ll give you two taels of silver, what do you think?”

"No way?"

Jia Yu rejected Shopkeeper Hu's proposal without hesitation.He was not in vain these days. After he came to this time and space, he found that his original body was completely alone. There was nothing except the clothes on his body and a jade pendant hanging around his neck.

Moreover, the reason why he had dreams about his past life for seven consecutive days must be related to the jade pendant. How could he sell the jade pendant?

Seeing Jia Yu's refusal, shopkeeper Hu didn't even bother to pretend to be smiling.

His face suddenly darkened, and he said coldly: "Master Jia, the law of Daxia: All debts that violate the contract will not be paid, and if one horse is more than one, you will be punished by twenty floggings for twenty days. You must not make a mistake!"

Hearing this, Jia Yu's heart tightened, but she still had a calm look on her face: "Shopkeeper Hu, you said it yourself, it was a violation of twenty days, and it's only been fifteen days now, right?"

"Humph!"

Shopkeeper Hu saw that he could not scare Jia Yu, and his face became more and more embarrassed, and he said solemnly: "Since Mr. Jia doesn't like to toast, don't blame me for not giving you face.

Please listen carefully, if you don't pay back the rent before Youchu (17:[-]) today, don't blame me for kicking you out. "

It is now the twelfth lunar month of winter, with heavy snow falling outside. To drive people out at this time is to force them to die. Although Shopkeeper Hu always calls you by your name, his intentions are so vicious.

Jia Yu took a deep look at Shopkeeper Hu, and the light in his eyes was like a sharp cold light, piercing Shopkeeper Hu's heart. Even though Shopkeeper Hu had been traveling around for many years, his heart was shaken, and he took two steps back in fright.

But after he came back to his senses, he immediately became a little angry. Just when he was about to say a few harsh words, he heard Jia Yu's voice ringing in his ears, "Please don't worry, shopkeeper Hu. I won't bother the shopkeeper to drive me away. I'll do it myself before Youchu." I will leave, now I have to ask the shopkeeper to give in."

After saying that, without waiting for Shopkeeper Hu to speak, he pushed him away and strode out of the door, leaving only Shopkeeper Hu with a stunned look on his face.

Jia Yu walked out of the inn door and was greeted by a bone-chilling chill.

The scene at the door of the inn is desolate.The cold wind howled past, completely engulfing the pedestrians' bodies in the violent chill.There was knee-deep snow piled up in front of the door, a vast expanse of white, like a pure and spotless world.

More than 100 steps away from the door of the inn, a frozen body was leaning against a wall on the street.

The body had been shrouded in frost and looked even paler in the wind and snow.

His face was distorted, as if he had experienced extreme pain and despair.

Snowflakes fell from the sky, forming a thin white covering around the body.

The anger in Jia Yu's heart that had just gone out was instantly extinguished by the cold air in the sky. Facing the wind and snow, the two autumn clothes on his body that were not thick seemed to have lost their effect, and the whole person felt like he had entered an ice cellar. .

Jia Yu didn't stop. He ran to a small shop not far away and used his last two cents to buy two multi-grain steamed buns and quickly returned to the inn.

When he returned to his guest room, Shopkeeper Hu had disappeared, but Jia Yu knew very well that if he couldn't pay the rent before dark, Shopkeeper Hu would definitely kick him out without hesitation.

But now is not the time to talk about this.

Jia Yu closed the door, blocking out the biting cold wind.

Then he took out the steamed bun with a hint of warmth from his arms and ate it hungrily with the cold water.

This multigrain steamed bun is made from corn cobs beaten into powder and mixed with a small amount of ground corn, sorghum rice and wild vegetables. Not only is it unpalatable, but you also need to be extra careful when eating it, because if you are not careful, your throat will get stuck. .

Even in ancient times, only the poorest people at the bottom would eat this stuff.

But Jia Yu couldn't let go of such unpalatable food. During the seven days when he traveled to this time and space, he survived on two multi-grain steamed buns every day.

But as of today, he has spent the last two coins on his body, and he will not be able to eat any more if he wants to.

"Uh……"

After eating two multi-grain steamed buns and filling her stomach with cold water, Jia Yu burped.

Looking at the dim room, Jia Yu didn't know what to do for a moment.

After thinking for a while, he just wanted to stand up, but found that his whole body was a little weak and weak. He touched his forehead out of habit and felt it was hot.

His heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and he actually had a fever.

It seems that the injuries on his body have not healed yet, and he has been hungry and full these days. In addition, he drank a lot of cold water just now, and his body finally couldn't bear it.

Feeling his increasingly heavy body, Jia Yu couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in her heart. Was she really going to die?
Drowsily, he struggled to climb onto the bed. Feeling that his body was getting hotter, he grabbed the collar and tried to pull the clothes apart. Unexpectedly, he grabbed the jade pendant around his neck. Unknowingly, he became stronger and stronger. .

In a daze, Jia Yu felt that her body seemed to be floating, and then she was pulled into another space.
