Until he was very old, Xu Jinyi was always held in Zhao Chengli's palm, and the two accompanied each other through a hundred years.
Seeing Zhao Chengli close his eyes first, Xu Jinyi held his withered hand and kissed his face full of wrinkles and age spots. "Still so handsome."
Then, Xu Jinyi lay close to Zhao Chengli's arms, put his arms around his waist, submitted the game points without hesitation, and waited for the soul to leave this world.
A tear slowly fell from the corner of the eye of the body on the bed, along the lines of the wrinkles, and flowed to the ear where Zhao Chengli's cheek was touching.
In this different world, with the support of Jinhui and Mrs. Zhao, Xu's father was successfully promoted from Nanshi to Suzhou Province, and even stayed in the central government for a few years.
And Xu Jinyi, who took the place of the original owner, as the founder of Jinhui, can be regarded as a well-known entrepreneur who is well-known throughout the country, and it is also the goal that countless young people strive for. He and Zhao Chengli's unswerving and legendary love for decades has been praised and envied by hundreds of millions of people in the country, and they have even been regarded as the "love of the century" by them.
Xu Jinyi took the place of the original owner and lived a happy and glorious life. The score displayed by the game system is very high, more than enough to enter the next world.
When Xu Jinyi woke up again, he was squatting behind a small mound of dirt.
Probably because the original owner squatted for too long, his legs were so sore, Xu Jinyi wanted to stand up and exercise his muscles and bones, but he caught a glimpse of a yellow shadow in front of him, and suddenly opened his eyes wide in astonishment.
That's a tiger! A hungry tiger!
The stomach is shriveled, the hair is not shiny at all, the upper and lower four fangs are long and hideous standing in front of the mouth, the wide and long tongue is like a cattail fan, licking and curling when it bends its head down, it is shining green while drinking water Light, staring fiercely at the river.
No, it can't be called a river at all. It can only be regarded as a dirty puddle of five meters square. The exposed river bed is dry and cracked into irregular lumps, and the scorched yellow soil is curled upwards and backwards.
Drought!
Xu Jinyi didn't dare to move rashly, his eyes were fixed on the tiger, but his head was turning rapidly.
The Guana riverbed is more than ten meters wide, stretching into the distance meanderingly. Obviously, this river is considered small and large during the flood season, and it is not a problem to support several villages. However, it was a severe drought at this time, and the source of the small river had obviously dried up. It was precisely because the terrain here was slightly sunken that this small puddle of water would remain.
During severe drought, food and drinking water are scarce not only for humans, but also for animals.
Obviously, this vicious tiger is both hungry and thirsty, so if it finds you make the slightest movement, the chance of escaping from its mouth is less than one in ten thousand!
Xu Jinyi is like this, the more dangerous the environment is, the calmer his mind becomes. For example, Xu's internal and external troubles in the real world, such as the fierce tiger now.
Only one word, wait!
Xu Jinyi kept squatting. Although his legs were trembling slightly, his breathing was still thin and long, and his mind was still clear and calm.
Suddenly, as if the hungry tiger had been full, its stubby and powerful limbs leaped vigorously, its whole body soared into the air, and jumped from the puddle to the shore in a short while.
The small mound in front of me was only half a meter high, and there was a cluster of shrubs growing on it, but the shrubs only had a few withered yellow leaves. Zhe Xu Jinyi didn't move at all, just stared at it along a gap between the leaves. That hungry tiger.
The hungry tiger gradually came to this side.
Xu Jinyi's breathing rate became lighter and lighter.
Twenty meters, ten meters, getting closer...
Almost at a distance of less than five meters from Xu Jinyi, the tiger's magnificent body passed him sideways step by step.
Xu Jinyi was still squatting on the spot like a sculpture, staring at the yellow body with black stripes only from the corner of his eyes.
Finally, Xu Jinyi couldn't find the hungry tiger even out of the corner of his eye, so Xu Jinyi squatted for another quarter of an hour before slowly turning his head.
There is only a mountain forest with few leaves in sight.
Xu Jinyi blinked and let out a long breath.
It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, but at this time his legs are completely numb, Xu Jinyi didn't care about his posture, he stood up slowly with his hands on the ground, lifted his legs slightly, and when his consciousness finally recovered, he went According to the original owner's memory, he searched for the mountain road, and walked lightly to the village on the other side of the mountain.
Not far away from the two towering giant trees, a few voices came faintly.
"This villager..."
"Master, my subordinates have been in the army for many years. There are countless people under my command who killed ten or hundreds of people with my own hands. However, if you are facing a hungry tiger, there are less than ten people who are calm and calm."
"Master, this is the time to employ someone. This person has outstanding courage and insight. If his nature is pure and kind, he can be used."
After a while, the original majestic voice sounded, "Go, follow him."
When he finally reached the foot of the mountain, Xu Jinyi was not happy but worried. At that high place just now, there were not a few leaves on the trees, and the bushes at the foot of the mountain were even stripped of bark. It looked really shocking! Xu Jinyi turned from the mountain road to the dirt road, and found the plot of this world while walking, combing through the memories of the original owner.
Most of the dozens of families in the village are surnamed Li, and this village is called Lijia Village. The original owner was also surnamed Li, named Li Tianci.
This Li Tianci is a widower.
When Li Tianci was seventeen years old, he obeyed his parents' orders and married a woman from the Liu family in a neighboring village. Guan's husband depended on each other for life.
Fortunately, Li Tianci also had a mother. Li's mother took pity on her granddaughter, so she took her granddaughter to her own house to raise her. Li Tianci and Li's father were busy with farm work, and they earned a few taels of silver a year to maintain the family.
However, a severe drought this year easily destroyed this relatively happy family.
Since the beginning of spring, there has been little rain in the sky, and the common people have planted crops with buckets of water. However, from spring to summer, the weather has become more and more drier. There are only a few wells in the village, and they can't water the crops, but they are thirsty.
Before the villagers could finish their struggles, a plague of locusts came suddenly, and the crops in the field were gnawed clean.
The previous year's food was almost gone at this time, but this year's crops were left with only stalks. The villagers had no hope, and they knelt and wailed in their crop fields.
But that's still not the end of the misery.
Not long after, the plague broke out and nine out of ten died.
Father Li and Mother Li died in that plague.
Fortunately, Li Tianci and his daughter Li Yueru survived.
Father Li experienced a severe drought when he was a child, and almost lost his life because of that severe drought. Since then, whenever the weather is dry, he will prepare more food. At the beginning of spring this year, he had the foresight to exchange the small amount of money in the family for two carts of grain, secretly dug a cellar in the house with his son, and hid the two carts of grain in the cellar.
Including what was harvested last year and eating frugally, there are still more than half a car of brown rice and flour left in the family, which adds up to about three to four hundred catties, which is enough for Li Tianci and his daughter to eat for a year.
But although there is food in the family, the two of them can only eat some porridge every day. Let alone chicken, fish, meat and eggs, they can't even find a leaf of rotten vegetables.
The daughter is Li Tianci's first child and the only blood left to him by his deceased wife. Li Tianci regards it as a treasure. But because of the drought, the daughter was not yet two years old, and her face was thin and sallow, without the chubby look of a child.
Feeling distressed, Li Tianci planned to hunt rabbits and pheasants at the foot of the mountain to make a bowl of broth for his daughter. Therefore, after waiting for his daughter to go to bed at noon today, Li Tianci locked the door and entered the mountain alone.
Once the locusts are gone, the land will be desolate for thousands of miles, and the animals will also suffer from it. How can there be any hares and pheasants at the foot of the mountain? Li Tianci was looking for hares while walking into the mountains. When he saw some basil, he pulled them out and planned to make porridge for his daughter.
Suddenly, there was a living thing moving among the messy branches, Li Tianci was refreshed, and hurriedly looked forward.
It was a gray hare. Although it was not big, it could still get a pound of meat if it was skinned.
Li Tianci's eyes lit up, he couldn't make a pounce, he became more and more courageous in frustration, and unknowingly chased the hare into the deep mountain.
Then he met the hungry tiger.
In the plot, Li Tianci hides behind the mound of dirt. Originally, the hungry tiger also walked to the depths of the mountain forest by that road after drinking the water. Although Li Tianci was terrified, he knew how to keep silent. He held his breath and waited for the hungry tiger to leave. At this moment, his stomach, which had been hungry for a long time, suddenly gurgled twice, which attracted the attention of the hungry tiger.
Li Tianci was unable to escape in time, was stuffed by a hungry tiger, and died without a whole body. He only had time to shout "Yueru" before his neck was bitten off by the hungry tiger.
Because of his strong concern for his daughter, Li Tianci's soul was able to stay in the world and accompany his daughter forever.
But what did he see
He saw his aunt, the most orthodox elder of his daughter after she lost her father, who sold her daughter to a rich man named Jiang in the same village for a few catties of grain, and became his son's child bride-in-law.
He saw his daughter grow up with Jiang Minshan, the son of the rich family, as childhood sweethearts, and agreed to marry on an auspicious day after Jiang Minshan finished the imperial examination.
He saw his daughter waiting in Jiang's house, besides Jiang Minshan who had won the first prize, Jiang Minshan's wife in the capital, Princess Yanran who was the daughter of King An—Zheng Yanran was waiting.
He saw that Jiang Minshan was greedy for his daughter's beauty but did not dare to offend the princess, so he let his daughter return to Beijing with Jiang Minshan and his wife as a servant. That Zheng Yanran knew that her daughter didn't want to have anything to do with Jiang Minshan anymore, but because she was jealous of her appearance, she tortured her in every possible way!
He saw that his daughter was not yet twenty years old, and she was tortured like an old woman.
He saw his daughter being forcibly given a glass of poisoned wine when she was in pain...
Every time Li Tianci stretched out his arms to protect his daughter with his body, the evil hands of those people penetrated his soul again and again, and finally fell on his daughter.
Finally, the daughter closed her eyes, and those people wrapped her body in a dilapidated straw mat and threw her into the mass grave.
His daughter's cold body was casually wrapped in a dilapidated straw mat, and two days' slender black legs were exposed outside the straw mat. Li Tianci was distraught. He wanted to put his daughter in the ground for peace, but his trembling hands couldn't touch her.
Li Tianci's soul continued to wander in this world. He gradually discovered that Zheng Yanran's mother was actually that bitch Sun Peirou. It was because she seduced Zheng Yanran behind her back that her daughter was brutally killed.
If there is an afterlife, he will definitely accompany his daughter, shelter her from wind and rain, and escort her. In addition, those who have bullied his daughter in this life, Aunt Li Chenshi, Sun Peirou, Zheng Yanran, Jiang Minshan... He will not let go of any of them!
Xu Jinyi was silent for a long time after watching the plot and memories, but he walked home much faster.
In the real world, he once stayed in the mountains for half a month and met several ferocious beasts. Also because of his experience, when he was avoiding the hungry tiger, he inhaled carefully in his abdomen, lest he would startle the hungry tiger by making the slightest sound.
Unexpectedly, the original owner lost his life precisely because of this. The orphan girl was left behind, relying on others, and being insulted in every way.
The dim scenes in his memory were too depressing, and Xu Jinyi couldn't help but sympathize with that poor little girl.
"I will avenge you, and I will take good care of your daughter." Xu Jinyi looked at the dilapidated courtyard in front of him and swore secretly.
