Competing

Chapter 1 Waking up in the arms of a beautiful woman
The sky was dark and gloomy, with dense dark clouds as black as ink, circling erratically.The birds also oscillated their thin wings, chirping and returning to their nests.Gusts of wind suddenly blew up, stirring up dust all over the place.

At the corner of the street not far away, the green cloth shed that shaded the sun was instantly rolled up into the sky and disappeared in the strong wind.After a while, bursts of muffled thunder resounded, shaking the heavens and the earth.Lightning bolts were as thick as a child's arm, flashing in the air from time to time, piercing the sky, exploding with crackling noises, tearing apart the void, and drifting to an unknown distance.

Over the small town, dark clouds gathered rapidly, and raindrops the size of beans slid down from the sky.The downpour slapped the ground, mud splashed, and there were a few traces of bright red blood floating in it.

The weather was so bad, but there were many people running in the rain in the street, shouting, mixed with the sound of wind and rain, making a mess.Just because Wu Youcai, the son of the pavilion chief, killed the helper Donglai, it caused an uproar in the small town.

The Goddess Temple by the Xiangxi River is the scene of the murder.

Half an hour ago, Donglai, a 17-year-old boy, died and was beaten to death by Wu Youcai, the son of the pavilion chief. The Temple of Goddess was suddenly overcrowded.

A young man was leaning against the corner of the wall, his face was covered with blood, and he had lost his breath.The deceased came from the east, his parents died early, and he fled to Xiangxi Town many years ago. With the help of the villagers in the village, he grew up eating a hundred kinds of food.

Donglai is an orphan and an outsider, with no fixed place to live, so some dilapidated goddess temples by the river became his shelter.Today, after finishing work at the pavilion chief's house, for some reason, Wu Youcai led his men to catch up with him, and within a few words, he was beaten violently, and Dong Lai was killed.

"The pavilion chief and the miser are here!"

Everyone automatically moved out of the way, only to see two people in their 50s coming hand in hand.

Wu Zhong, head of Xiangxi pavilion, father of Wu Youcai.

Liang Yuan, a miser in Xiangxi Town, is in charge of hearing lawsuits and collecting taxes.

Plus one of the three elders in charge of education, they are the three "big officials" in Xiangxi Town.

"You bastard!" Wu Zhong slapped him when he came in.When he received the news, he was having a drink at the home of his miser Liang Yuan.When Wu Zhong heard that his son had beaten someone to death, Wu Zhong was so frightened that his face turned pale. As the head of the pavilion, he knew very well that the "Qin Law" is strict, and killing people pays for their lives!So he immediately brought Liang Yuan together to find out what happened, and it was best to make the big things small, as small as possible.After all, he is the head of the Xiangxi pavilion, and Donglai is just a helper with no one to rely on.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Wu Zhong's tone was stern. At this time, he had to have a posture in front of everyone. Wu Youcai, who was so frightened, shivered a little, covered his face and staggered, and retreated to the side.My heart was even more flustered, I hated that woman to the extreme, what bad idea did I come up with?Let yourself deliberately find fault and frame him, and the result?people died.Dong Lai looked quite strong on weekdays, why did he die with one punch?There is both anger and fear in my heart.

Seeing his father's questioning, he had to answer honestly: "Today, Donglai sent cloth to the house, and my mother asked him to move directly to the back house. Who would have thought that this fellow stole my mother's jade pendant when he left. Fortunately, he was discovered by the child. So I led people to chase them to the Goddess Temple, and then there was a dispute, who knows..."

"Brother Donglai..." An anxious and sad cry came, and a drenched girl squeezed through the crowd and rushed in.Seeing the young man in a pool of blood in the corner, he immediately rushed forward.Her delicate body trembled uncontrollably, and her pale cheeks couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain, tick tock.His mouth was slightly opened, but he couldn't make a sound.

"Yu Niang!" When the middle-aged woman chased after her, she saw this scene, first let out a long sigh, and inadvertently burst into tears.Donglai and Yuniang are childhood sweethearts, and their deep affection is obvious to all.well!Everyone at the scene sighed unceasingly, it was a pity that the pair of young people in front of them had arrived. From now on, heaven and man will be separated forever, and it will be difficult to see each other again.

After a long time, the girl pointed at Youcai with her trembling fingers, and said sharply, "Don't talk nonsense, brother Donglai is honest and honest, and everyone in the town knows that he will never steal." Brother Donglai is dead. , but no one is allowed to slander him, so that he cannot rest in peace after death.

Seeing his father's arrival, Wu Youcai was a little overwhelmed, the fear in his heart eased a bit, and he began to figure out how to end the matter.At this time, being questioned by a little girl pointing at her nose, she suddenly felt a great loss of face, and couldn't help being slightly angry, "Positively speaking" said: "If you don't believe me, look at the jade pendant in his arms, and all the witnesses and evidences, how can you deny it?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Dong Lai's arms, a tinge of blue color was still there, some people believed it a little bit, secretly said: "Dong Lai looks honest, so it turns out that he is also doing this secretly, I really didn't see it, alas!"

Seeing this, Wu Youcai immediately puffed up his chest, the jade pendant was put in by himself when he was fighting just now.Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces at this time, I felt more confident in my heart, and a little bit of complacency appeared on my face.

"You're talking nonsense, Brother Donglai won't do it." The girl choked up and argued with Wu Youcai.

"No, the jade pendant is in his arms, how can there be sophistry?"

"Enough!" Wu Youcai's rhetorical question was interrupted mercilessly by his father.

"Steal a jade pendant and you kill him?"

Wu Zhong seemed to be blaming his son, but in fact he was making excuses. If Dong Lai was found guilty of stealing, and his son recovered the lost property and had disputes and fights with him, the culpability would be much smaller.After speaking, he glanced at Liang Yuan, hoping that he could help to say a few words.

Liang Yuan is an old man, why doesn't he understand?He coughed twice, and said: Sitting on a robber breaks the law, and the government will punish him. It is not right for a talented person to beat him privately, and now he is dead..."

Follow Wu Zhong's meaning, let's not express his attitude first.

Wu Zhong couldn't help sighing secretly: If it's just an injury, it's easy to deal with it at this time, alas!But...it would be great if Dong Lai didn't die!

"Brother Donglai, are you awake?" The girl was so excited that she shouted loudly, which immediately caused a burst of surprise and commotion.

Wu Zhong was startled at first, and then his face showed joy.

Dong Lai woke up and came back from the dead, but earth-shaking changes took place in it.

At this moment, Dong Lai is no longer the simple and honest helper he used to be. He has a modern soul in his body.

Yin Xu, a student of a military academy.It's good to complete the three-month training mission, and finally get a vacation.Unfortunately, there was a car accident on the highway, and the car fell down a [-]-meter cliff.

He thought he would die for sure, but the heavens saw him and gave him a chance to open his eyes again, but the world has completely changed.Not in a broken car, not in a hospital bed, but in the arms of a beautiful woman under an old roof.what is going on?When Yin Xu was wondering, many memories that did not belong to him flooded into his mind.

Soon, Yin Xu realized that he had traveled, his soul traveled through time and space, and was reborn on an ancient boy.

The boy's name is Donglai, he is 17 years old, and he has no father or mother.Many years ago, as refugees came to Xiangxi Town, they were taken in by kind villagers and grew up eating a variety of meals.Donglai was a taciturn child when he was young, and no one knew his name. He was named Donglai because he came from the east.

From the memory of Donglai, we know that the current emperor is Qin Shihuang, the first emperor through the ages, but the exact year is not clear.Yin Xu couldn't help being a little "funny" in his heart. In an accident, he came to the Great Qin Dynasty by accident. It's God's will!

The place where it is located is called Xiangxi Town, which belongs to Fanyi County and is the hometown of Chu State, located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.Based on geographical knowledge, Yin Xu deduced that it was roughly in the Jiangxi area of ​​later generations, because Peng Lize is a few tens of miles west of Fanyi City.Wang Bo wrote in "Preface to the Pavilion of the King of Teng": The geese frightened by the cold, and the sound broke the Pu of Hengyang;Peng Lize is the famous Poyang Lake in later generations.

Why is "self" lying here?
It turned out that Donglai was sending cloth to Ma Shi to fill in the house for the pavilion chief, but he accidentally ran into Ma Shi and Wu Youcai's love for each other.

For a son to commit adultery with his concubine, it is against human relations, it is a big treason!

At that time, Wu Youcai stepped forward and threatened Donglai not to leak any news, otherwise he would take revenge by any means.The honest country boy immediately fell silent like a cicada and left quietly.Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the Goddess Temple where he lived sojourn, Wu Youcai led people to chase after him, claiming that Donglai had stolen it.Before Donglai could open his mouth to defend, Wu Youcai immediately started punching and kicking.In a panic, Dong Lai fell down and died for no apparent reason.

The typical villain "files a complaint" first, and Yin Xu already knows what happened.Wu Youcai's move is quite vicious, no matter whether he can actually steal it or not, his goal can be achieved.At least stop Donglai's mouth first, if he reveals Wu Youcai's adultery with Ma Shi in the future, others will only say that he is maliciously slandering and spreading rumors.Yin Xu rolled his eyes, and clearly felt the uneasiness and fear in Wu Youcai.

"Brother Donglai!"

Yin Xu turned his head and saw a pure girl wiping the blood on her face with her sleeve.The girl was smiling, but tears were streaming down her face. She was obviously weeping with joy, which was enough to show the excitement in her heart.

"Yuniang, I'm fine!" Yin Xu knew that the girl's name was Li Yuniang, and she was the daughter of Li Liezi, the owner of Xiangxi Inn.Growing up with Dong Lai, they are childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts.

Wu Youcai stood on the side, a little nervous in his heart, just now he went to check it out himself, and Dong Lai had indeed passed away.That is when he put the jade pendant into his arms.But why did he wake up again?Back from the dead?
Not only him, but everyone present was amazed, but most of the villagers felt that it was good for people to be alive.The woman surnamed Hong on the side was also agitated, and even said yes.On this point, the Wu family father and son also thought so, and they were secretly relieved.

After a while of chatter, Liang Yuan stepped forward and said, "It's a blessing that Donglai wakes up. In this case, Wu Youcai's murder is out of the question. As for Donglai's theft...Wu Tingchang, what do you think?"

Wu Zhong replied with a faint wry smile, Liang Yuan kicked the problem to himself again?It stands to reason that the safety of the son is the most important thing, and the whole town is present, so it stands to reason that it should be good to see each other.But if this is the case, wouldn't it mean that the son wronged the good man?After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, "Dong Lai, what happened? Could there be some misunderstanding?"

The blood on his forehead had been wiped clean, Dong Lai was supported by Yu Niang to stand up, with a sneer in his heart.When Wu Zhong asked this question, he just wanted a step.According to today's situation, it can only be left as it is.

Cough cough, Yin Xu said: "Brother Youcai has indeed misunderstood. Today I sent cloth with Madam. Madam said that I often do things for the family, sincerely and hard-working, so she rewarded me with this jade pendant."

Knowing his family affairs, Wu Youcai couldn't help complaining secretly, this jade pendant was newly bought by Mrs. Ma, he liked it very much, and he used it to frame him in a panic.But now huh?It seems that if you steal a chicken, you will lose a lot of rice, and you will have to scold him again when you go back.

But it's still worth rejoicing, if the naive boy speaks out, he's afraid that there will be a big mess, and he'll admit it if he forgets it.Wu Youcai gritted his teeth and said, "It's probably the case. A few days ago, when I was delivering food from the east, I heard my little lady praise me. I must have misunderstood."

Dong Lai had a half-smile, and said in his heart, "Let's ask for some medical expenses first, and then I'll settle the score with you later."Wu Youcai couldn't help wondering, Donglai was simple and honest before, why is he so clever and cunning today?Good guy, you actually blackmailed me with a jade pendant, the son of Japan must seek revenge.

Immediately, his eyes fell on Yu Niang again. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, her big watery eyes were like lacquer spots, and her white skin was extremely tender.One or two tiny freckles are inconspicuous, and they don't affect her beauty in the slightest, which is exactly what is said.The long black hair was tied in a bun with a jade hairpin, and it naturally hung down behind her, looking beautiful and gentle.After the pear blossoms bring rain, Yanyan Yanyan is even more special.

Wrapped in wet clothes, it highlights the exquisite and graceful figure, which is really attractive!Then I thought of the mare at home again, and I shivered suddenly, and suddenly I remembered something again, and my heart was even more anxious.

Liang Yuan and Wu Zhong exchanged glances and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, let's end it like this! The jade pendant is a gift from Mrs. Ma, and it's all used as compensation for medical treatment. I hope you two will settle down."

Yin Xu didn't say anything, but he had some calculations in his heart, with clear grievances and grievances, and it is his principle to be happy with grievances.His head was bleeding from the beating today, and this sorrow must be reported. Looking at Wu Youcai's leaving back, Yin Xu sneered in his heart and said, "Boy, wait, you will suffer!"
