“Master!”

“Go!”

"Master, I'm here to save you!"

"Get lost! Remember to bring your master's wife home..."

"roar!"

…

"ah!"

Zhou Chen woke up in shock, gasping for breath, still feeling frightened.

He dreamed that he secretly knocked on the door of Qin Keqing, the widow of Qin, in the middle of the night. As a result, the door opened and a huge tiger with hanging eyes and white forehead rushed out.

The big tiger was biting an old man with its bloody mouth, and blood was dripping.

The old man struggled in pain and shouted at him to run.

He called out "Master" and was heartbroken.

"What a mess!"

Thinking of the scene in his dream, Zhou Chen shook his head and couldn't help complaining:

"Sure enough, dreams don't make sense!"

He is an orphan, where can he find a master? He has many teachers, both from Japan and South Korea.

"Um?"

Zhou Chen's pupils shrank, and he suddenly found himself in a strange room, an old wooden house, wooden stools, wooden tables, oil lamps...

"Where is this?"

As the thought came to his mind, a complex stream of memories suddenly flooded into his mind like a torrent, making him dizzy and with a splitting headache. It took him a long time to recover.

It turns out that he traveled through time.

To be precise, it is reincarnation, and the memories of the past life are just awakening now.

This is a supernatural world where demons run rampant and immortals are high and mighty.

He has been dependent on Old Man Cao since he was a child and makes a living by hunting.

Old man Cao was an excellent archer and he was often able to catch prey, so he led a fairly comfortable life.

However, although Old Man Cao was over fifty years old, he was young at heart and fell in love with Qin Hongyu, the daughter of Old Man Qin in the village.

Qin Hongyu was the same age as him, eighteen years old, with a graceful figure and pretty looks, and countless men were drooling over her.

Old man Qin also asked for a huge sum of money, ten taels of silver.

Old man Cao was obsessed with sex and gritted his teeth and spent all his savings to barely make up the money, but his once affluent life suddenly became tight.

Three days ago, in order to improve his life and have more time to enjoy his bride after marriage, Old Man Cao took Zhou Chen deep into the mountains to hunt.

As a result, because they went too deep, they encountered a huge white-browed tiger with hanging eyes.

The tiger bit Old Man Cao and ate him.

Zhou Chen luckily escaped with his life, and after returning, he built a cenotaph for old man Cao.

He was so sad and hungry that he fainted.

When I woke up, my memories of my past life were awakened.

Gurgle!

His stomach kept protesting loudly. Zhou Chen rubbed his stomach which was pressed against his chest and back, and got up to look for food.

After searching the house, the mouse only found two dry and hard steamed buns and a jar of pickled wild vegetables. The mouse even shed tears when seeing them.

"Grass!"

Zhou Chen couldn't help but swear. Old man Cao had used up all his savings in order to marry a wife. The remaining food was also spent by everyone on holding Old man Cao's funeral.

He found that the villagers were not very friendly to him because he and Old Man Cao were not native locals but outsiders.

"hateful!"

Zhou Chen cursed while heating up the steamed corn bread and eating it with some pickled vegetables, barely filling his stomach.

"system?"

"panel?"

"Grandpa?"

Zhou Chen studied it for a while and felt a little disappointed. Who said that all time travelers have golden fingers?

He doesn't seem to.

Or maybe the time is not right.

He had seen quite a few, some came only after becoming immortals, some awakened after death, and some could only be activated after marrying a wife...

"Forget it, let's go hunting and fill our stomachs first!"

He touched his belly and saw that it was still early and the sun had just risen. Zhou Chen skillfully put on the backpack, slung the hatchet around his waist, picked up the bow and arrow and trident, and walked towards the back mountain.

With the memories of two lives fused together, he was not unfamiliar with this place, but he didn't dare to go deep into the mountains where old man Cao was bitten to death.

"Today was supposed to be the auspicious day for Master and his wife to get married, but unfortunately Master is not lucky enough to enjoy it!"

Although the memories of his previous life dominated, he was still grateful to Old Man Cao. After all, he was not the kind of person who traveled through time and space by taking over another person's body.

"Master, go with peace of mind. I will bring Master's wife home later and I will take good care of her for you!"

Zhou Chen's eyes were dim and his gaze was firm.

He knew that it was absolutely impossible to ask Old Man Qin, that greedy and stingy drunkard, to return the ten taels of silver.

At least he can't do it now.

Besides, Old Man Qin probably can't come up with ten taels of silver now.

But it is possible to bring Qin Hongyu home.

This world is dangerous and death is commonplace.

According to common sense, since Old Man Cao is dead, Zhou Chen, as his only relative, can ask Old Man Qin to return the money or marry Qin Hongyu to him.

This kind of thing is not uncommon.

Wang Daniu next door also went fishing before getting married, but he encountered misfortune and drowned in the river. Then Wang Erniu took his place and married the girl.

Zhou Chen was not attracted by her beauty, but this matter concerned the foundation of his life.

If he could not return the money from Old Man Qin or marry Qin Hongyu, others would think he was weak and could be bullied.

If you can't even protect your own legitimate interests, won't you be bullied to death in the future? One punch is enough to prevent a hundred punches from coming!

He must use this incident to tell everyone that although Old Man Cao is dead, he, Zhou Chen, is not someone who can be bullied.

This is the reason why Old Man Cao asked him to bring Qin Hongyu back before he died.

About half an hour.

Zhou Chen came to the back mountain and became alert. Although he had been here countless times and there was not much danger outside, he still had to be careful.

Many times, poisonous insects, snakes and ants are more dangerous than large beasts.

Dahe Village is backed by the Changling Mountains and faces the Qing River. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and is rich in resources. However, most people in Dahe Village make a living by fishing.

There are not many hunters in the village, and Old Man Cao is the most famous.

Rustle!

The grass swayed and a gray shadow flashed by.

"Hare!"

Zhou Chen has been hunting with Old Man Cao since he was a child. With sharp eyes and agile movements, he quickly bypassed the bushes nearby and saw the gray hare running away.

He drew his bow and shot the arrow in one go, the arrow flying out at the moment the hare jumped up, piercing its hind leg just as the hare reached its highest point!

“Good luck!”

Zhou Chen was overjoyed. Although the shot missed, it still hit the target.

He rushed over and picked up the struggling rabbit on the ground, tied its two legs with a rope, then put it in the bamboo basket behind him and continued hunting.

But my luck seemed to have run out. I didn't encounter many prey afterwards, and the only pheasant I hadn't shot yet.

"Forget it, let's go back!"

Zhou Chen went down the mountain carrying the hare.

He did not go deep into the mountains and quickly returned to the village.

Zhou Chen did not go home, but went straight to Old Man Qin's house.

Old Man Qin was a man in his forties. He was lying on a bamboo chair in the yard, drinking wine happily.

Old man Cao is dead, and Zhou Chen is just a young boy, isn't he in control? When the storm is over in the next few days, he will find a good family to sell Qin Hongyu again, maybe he can get another ten taels of silver! So happy! Knock, knock! At this moment, the knock on the door woke up the old man Qin who was dreaming.

He looked up and saw that it was Zhou Chen. His face darkened and after a long while he slowly stood up and opened the door, saying coldly, "Xiao Chen, what's the matter?"

"Uncle Qin, you also know that my master had an accident three days ago and can't marry Sister Hongyu. My family is also struggling to make ends meet, so I came to Uncle Qin to return the gift money from my master for emergency."

Zhou Chen went straight to the point.

"Xiao Chen, Uncle Qin knows that your family is in trouble, but your Uncle Qin's family is also in trouble. Where can you get extra money now?"

Old Man Qin looked embarrassed and said perfunctorily: "Don't worry, when Uncle Qin has money, I will definitely send it to you as soon as possible!"

Zhou Chen sneered, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until you have money in this lifetime!

"Since Uncle Qin is in such a difficult situation, then let's follow the established rules and marry Sister Hongyu to me!"

"Xiao Chen, I have to criticize you for this. Your master just died, and you're already thinking about getting married. Are you worthy of your master?"

"This is my master's last will."

Zhou Chen's eyes turned cold, and he suppressed his anger and said solemnly: "If I can't do it, I will be sorry to Master!"

"In that case, you go back first. I'll find an auspicious day and then discuss the marriage with you!"

"What the hell is this?"

Grabbing the old man Qin's collar, Zhou Chen's knife flashed, and the hatchet was already on the old man Qin's neck: "Don't give me that, today either give me money or give me someone else's!"

"Otherwise I'll let you know that when a common man gets angry, blood will splatter five steps away!"
