Chapter 288
"Xiao Wu, what is going on? What about the rest of the story?"
Yuan Jing called the system in his mind, and soon the system responded: "This requires the host to figure it out on his own."
Yuan Jing chuckled: "It's the system that you don't know what the following plot is about, so it gave me this universal reply, right?"
The system was silent. Yuan Jing knew that he had guessed correctly. He asked again: "Xiao Wu, can you communicate with the world consciousness? Can you ask what's going on?"
This time the system responded: "Sorry, the world consciousness is weak and unable to communicate. The world line of this world is quite chaotic and the host needs to explore it on his own."
"Okay, I got it." What else could Yuan Jing say? He could only figure it out on his own. Fortunately, the original body's wish was easy to fulfill. One was to prevent his parents from dying in a car accident and let them enjoy their old age. The other was to get rid of the entanglement of the disgusting man and let the human traffickers who caught him get what they deserved.
Even though his original body had caused those human traffickers to die with him in his previous life, human traffickers would still be human traffickers if it happened again. He hoped that those people would be caught by the law and be punished by the law. Yuan Jing expressed his strong agreement and said that even if his original body didn't say it, he would bring those people to justice.
In addition, the original body hopes to clarify all the abnormal situations around him if possible. In other words, it doesn’t matter even if this task is not completed. Perhaps the original body feels that it is too strange and beyond the scope of ordinary people’s understanding, so he does not force Yuan Jing to find out.
But for Yuan Jing, he survived in place of his original body, so when he reaches that timeline, he will definitely encounter the same strange situation as his original body, so even if the original body does not force it, he will get to the bottom of it.
So this time, he did not plan to change his original route, but decided to follow the route of his original life step by step. He wanted to see who was playing tricks around him after he entered the university he entered in his original life. No matter whether it was a human or a ghost, he would not let it go.
As he was thinking, his consciousness became fuzzy. His body was a little weak and he needed sleep. Before he went to sleep, he was still thinking, I don't feel the existence of spiritual energy in this world, is it a world without spirits? There should be no ghosts in a world without spirits, so the one who pretended to be a ghost must be a human.
Yuan Jing slept until dark and was sweating all over, but he no longer felt groggy.
Yanjia Village was not a too backward village, and several households had access to electricity. Yuan Jing's family was one of them. However, only Yuan Jing's room was equipped with an electric light, which was used for studying. It would damage the eyesight if one kept lighting a kerosene lamp. Therefore, the room was pitch black at this moment, and there was a dim light from a kerosene lamp in the main room outside.
As Yuan Jing moved, the bed made a sound, the door was pushed open, and the light in the room was turned on.
Yuan Jing squinted his eyes and looked over. The person who came in was Yuan Jing's father, a handsome middle-aged man named Yang Shu.
The original body was not actually his first child. He had been pregnant with another child before him. However, because he was not the husband that the old nanny liked, but Yan Lao Er liked him so much that he wanted to marry him. So she disliked him since he came into the family. Even after she was pregnant, she still made him busy. As a result, the first child died due to overwork.
A little life made Yan Changjiang sober up and realize how her husband was treated at home. She realized that family harmony could not be achieved by compromising. Heartbroken, Yan Changjiang insisted on dividing the family and was almost kicked out of the house. However, both of them were hardworking, so after a few years, the penniless couple lived a good life again.
After Yang Shu recovered from her illness, she became pregnant again. This time, she successfully gave birth to a little boy, who was exactly her original self. Neither the husband nor she mind that it was a boy instead of a daughter, and they placed all their hopes on the little boy, which made the two elders of the Yan family even more unhappy.
As soon as Yang Shu entered the room, he walked quickly to the bed, reached out and touched Yuan Jing's forehead, and then said with joy in his voice: "That's great, the fever has subsided, Jing'er is sweating, Dad has boiled some hot water on the stove, I'll bring you some water right away."
"Let me do it. Is Jing'er feeling better now?" Yan Changjiang's concerned voice rang out at the door.
Yuan Jing smiled and said, "Father, Dad, I feel much better after a good sleep. I want to take a shower."
"Okay, Father will fetch some water for Brother Jing. Take your time, Brother Jing." Yan Changjiang happily went to the kitchen to fetch some bath water for his brother. Yang Shu stayed in the room to change the sheets and quilt covers that Yuan Jing had slept on. It would be bad to sleep on the bed that was stained with sweat.
Yuan Jing took a nice hot bath, and then the family of three sat together to eat dinner. It was just October, and the temperature had dropped a lot due to a previous rain, so Yuan Jing caught a cold and had a fever.
At the dinner table, Yuan Jing took the initiative to bring up the matter of his uncle's family: "When I was half asleep, I seemed to hear Grandpa talking to you outside, saying that my second cousin was looking for a partner and was going to get married?"
My uncle's family has two sons, the eldest cousin Yan Jiagen and the second cousin Yan Jiabao. Just by listening to these names, you can tell how much my uncle's family and the two elders value sons over boys. My original body has always been a money-loser in their eyes. If it weren't for the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Yan Changjiang loved my original body since childhood and separated from the family before I was born, I would have become cowardly if I had grown up in such an environment for a long time.
Yang Shu said unhappily, "I'm disturbing you, Jing'er. Yan Jiabao is a man with high expectations but low skills. He refused to continue his studies after graduating from junior high school. He stays at home all day and doesn't want to find a job. He's a lazy guy who likes to eat and do nothing. Unexpectedly, a boy in town likes him. But his conditions are high, so it won't be easy for your second cousin to marry him."
Yuan Jing thought about it. His father's evaluation of Yan Jiabao was really accurate. Yan Jiabao was such a lazy and overconfident person. Why did the city boy like him? Yuan Jing smiled and said, "Maybe he was attracted by Yan Jiabao's face."
Yang Shu chuckled, and Yan Changjiang also laughed a few times. Yang Shu said, "That's right. The only thing your second cousin can show off is his face. Your father was able to marry me because of this face."
Yan Changjiang blushed slightly: "What nonsense are you talking about in front of the child?"
Yuan Jing became happy. What Yang Shu said was the truth. The Yan family members were actually quite good-looking, and the original body was born by selecting their best qualities, so naturally her appearance was more outstanding.
After dinner, Yuan Jing rushed to wash the dishes. No matter how spoiled a rural child is, it is impossible for him not to do housework. Yang Shu didn't rush to do it, so he let his brother do it. Others said that his brother was a money-loser. His brother's family also regarded him as a money-loser. But Yang Shu was very satisfied when he saw his brother. His brother was worth several sons in other families.
"After you finish washing the dishes, go back to your room and study. Tomorrow, ask your father to send you to the county school. Don't worry about family matters. The more you worry about them, the more trouble they will make."
"Okay, I got it."
After washing the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen, Yuan Jing returned to his room. He really needed to review his studies well. He couldn't do worse than his original self and not be admitted to the same university as his original self.
Mr. and Mrs. Yan Changjiang are living a good life now. In fact, they just earn their money through hard work. In this day and age, as long as you are willing to work, you can always make a good life. You can't rely on others.
Yan Changjiang learned the skill of tea-roasting from a tea-roasting master in his early years. After the reform and opening up, he contracted several acres of mountain land to grow tea. He owed a lot of foreign debts in the first few years. It was only in recent years that he paid off his debts and his life became better.
In addition to helping Yan Changjiang grow tea, Yang Shu also raised several pigs. It was hard work, but the income was not small throughout the year. During the first few difficult years, his family relied on Yang Shu's pig farming to make a living. Even now, Yang Shu was unwilling to give up the pig farming. In his words, he wanted to earn more money for his brother.
His family earns a lot of money, which makes Old Yan jealous. However, the way to make money is right there and anyone can see it clearly. However, Old Yan and his wife are both lazy. They just want to make money and are unwilling to roll up their sleeves and work hard themselves. Yuan Jing doesn't know what to say.
Yan Laoer's home is very warm, but it is different for Yan Laoda. The couple instigated the second elder to go to Laoer's home to ask for money, but in the end they got nothing and cursed Laoer's family at home.
Yang Lan, the husband of Yan Changhai, the eldest brother of the Yan family, was actually married from the same village as Yang Shu. Before she got married, she lived a better life than Yang Shu. After she got married, she gave birth to two sons in succession. She was more proud than Yang Shu in front of her father-in-law and the mother-in-law. She always acted condescendingly in front of her brother-in-law. But now Yang Shu was unwilling to take out money to help her son get married, which made Yang Lan very unhappy.
"Father, are there any uncles like them? Isn't Jiabao's marriage more important than his family's money-losing son's education? Even if he succeeds in his studies, he won't be given to other families. How can our family benefit from it? I really don't know what the second brother is thinking. If Jiabao marries a boy from the town, won't the second brother's family also benefit from it? If we miss this opportunity, there will be no such opportunity again. That boy is on the government payroll."
Because of this, the old man and the old lady were very excited and said angrily: "That fool, who knows what he is thinking, you wait, I will go to talk to the second son some other day."
Yang Lan said sourly, "Some time ago, someone in the town took a fancy to Brother Jing from the second family. They wanted this much for the betrothal gift alone." Yang Lan held up three fingers, "Three thousand yuan! But they refused. If they had accepted this betrothal gift, Jiabao's marriage would have been a grand one."
Indeed, thinking about the betrothal money, the two elders were heartbroken. However, the second elder couple were as stubborn as cows and refused to nod their heads, which made Yang Lan regret not having another son. Otherwise, she could have raised him up and received a large sum of betrothal money.
Zhao Ying, the husband of Yan Jiagen, was not happy to hear this in the inner room. He thought the betrothal gift he asked for was quite good, but he did not expect that Yan Jiabao would ask for a higher betrothal gift for marrying a husband. Why? Aren’t they all sons of the Yan family? Why should they be taller than him before they even get married?
The petty-minded man was trying to sow discord in front of Yan Jiagen, saying that the family spent a lot of money on the second child, so as the eldest brother, he must not spend less, otherwise what status would he have in the family? Yan Jiagen thought about it and realized that it was true, but he would wait and see if the marriage could be successful. If it could be successful, he would have something to say.
Yang Lan didn't know that while he was plotting to take the money from Yan Laoer's family, a fire was about to break out in his backyard.
But this has nothing to do with Yuan Jing. If you want to get his betrothal money, you have to get his father's approval first. He got up early the next day and exercised in the yard. He practiced internal skills last night. Although he didn't have spiritual energy, after a night, with the help of the spiritual spring water, his internal strength has been cultivated, and his original weak body problem can be improved.
Although he has cultivated internal strength, he dare not relax. Who knows what the plot of this world is? In short, the stronger he is, the more confident he will be in facing various unknown situations. Also, what is the identity of his lover this time?
Since he didn't have to go back to school until the afternoon, he decided to wander around the village during the day. Who knows, he might end up in the same village.
If there is no one in the village, then it may be in school, or he may have to wait until he is admitted to university to meet one. Of course, he hopes to meet one as soon as possible.
Yan Changjiang and Yang Shu woke up equally early, but the couple first asked about their child's health: "It's rare for you to rest at home, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"Father, Dad, I'm feeling really good now. I think my poor body resistance must be related to my lack of exercise, so I'm going to exercise from today on."
Yan Changjiang smiled. Exercising is not a bad thing. "Okay, exercising is good, but don't tire yourself out."
"Oh, I see."
After exercising, Yuan Jing also helped his parents with things, such as helping Yang Shu feed the pigs. The pigs were raised in the old house, which was the old house that was built when the family just separated. It was leaky and windy. The current house was built later when they made money. The old house was demolished and a pigpen was built. The smell was very bad.
When they came back from feeding the pigs and passed by the Yan family's house, there was no movement inside. Yang Shu said angrily, "There is no hardworking person. They still want to get rich and let the money fall from the sky for them to pick up."
Yuan Jing smiled and said, "We live a good life, so let them be jealous."
Yang Shu also laughed: "Yes, it makes them jealous, but they can't get it."
After breakfast, Yuan Jing told his parents that he wanted to take a walk at the foot of the mountain. Yan Changjiang and Yang Shu did not stop him. It was good to go out for a walk. They never had to worry about their brother's studies. Besides, they did not have the ability to worry about him even if they wanted to. Yan Changjiang could read a few words, but Yang Shu was a blind man.
The environment in Yanjia Village is quite good, with mountains and water. As long as you work hard, you don't have to worry about food and drink. Even during the most difficult times, not many people starved to death.
The two elders of the Yan family and the head of the Yan family kept scolding Yuan Jing, saying that he was a loser, but the villagers liked Yuan Jing very much. Who would not like a child who was sensible, smart and good at studying? So many people greeted Yuan Jing on the road, and Yuan Jing responded one by one.
After Yuan Jing passed away, everyone started gossiping. What happened in the same village, what happened at the head of the village would be known immediately at the end of the village.
"The eldest son of his family is instigating the old son to go to the second son's house to make trouble again. Really, although Jing'er is a young boy, in my opinion, he is much more promising than the two boys of the old family. When he passes the college entrance examination and becomes a city dweller, maybe he can bring the second son and his wife to the city to enjoy a better life."
"That's right. I don't know what the two old people are thinking. They always do things that offend the second elder and his wife. They treat the two lazy guys in the eldest elder's house as treasures. If I really rely on them for my retirement, I don't know how I will live in the future."
"After all, he's a boy. Yan Changjiang can't do without a boy." Someone disagreed.
"Bah! The Yan Laonuo family in the west end of the village has many sons, but which son cared about Yan Laonuo when he was paralyzed in bed? In the end, the married man had to take time out to come back and take care of him. If he relied on his sons, he would starve to death in bed one day."
Yuan Jing walked to the river at the foot of the mountain and saw fish swimming in the river. He thought about his psychic heart and wondered if it would have any effect on the fish in the river. If it did, wouldn’t he be able to catch a few fish to eat?
Yuan Jing had an idea, and hey, it actually worked, a fish swam towards him.
Yuan Jing's mind moved again, and the fish that swam over scattered again. He would catch a few more when he went back. Now he wanted to go up the mountain for a walk. With this psychic mind, he wouldn't have to worry about the wild beasts in the mountains.
After going around the river, Yuan Jing was about to walk up the mountain when he stopped because there was a man walking down the mountain carrying a basket to collect grass for pigs. The familiar breath of his soul made Yuan Jing extremely excited. He didn't expect that his lover was from the same village as him. It was really great. He didn't have to bother looking for her everywhere.
The boy walking down the mountain also saw Yuan Jing and was a little shy. How many boys in this village didn't like Yuan Jing? Not only was he good-looking, but he was also good at studying and generous. Looking at the boys of the same age in the village, there was no one who could compare to him. It was normal for them to secretly like him and talk about him in private.
Jian Hui felt the same way, and even felt more inferior than other children of his age, because not only did he drop out of school early and stay at home, but his status at home was also very low. Others dared to think about it, but he didn't even dare to think about it, because his identity and status were so far behind Jing Ge'er.
When he got closer, Yuan Jing recognized his lover's current identity, and his heart suddenly ached. His lover's identity this time was too bad, because he was a child left behind in the village by the educated youth. His father abandoned him, so Jian Hui's father could only remarry with him. However, the family he remarried into was not a good family, so Jian Hui grew up being beaten and scolded in his stepfather's home.
What should he do now? If his lover has not awakened, how can he help her out of the current predicament?
When Jian Hui walked in front of Yuan Jing, he was about to walk away with the basket on his back and his head down. Yuan Jing suddenly stretched out his hand, holding the egg that his father had stuffed into his pocket, and said, "Here's the egg."
Jian Hui was stunned, and looked up at Yuan Jing in disbelief. Jing Ge'er gave him eggs to eat? He thought that a guy like Jing Ge'er would not pay attention to a small person like him, but he actually took the initiative to talk to him.
Yuan Jing walked forward again and said, "I ate too much for breakfast and can't finish the eggs. Can you help me eat them?"
Worried that Jian Hui would not accept it, Yuan Jing stuffed it directly into his pocket, then turned around and ran up the mountain.
Jian Hui was unable to call the person back, so he took out the egg which still had body temperature from his pocket. His face turned red and was about to smoke. Jing Ge'er actually gave him an egg to eat. Did he mean that Jing Ge'er... Jian Hui quickly shook his head. It was impossible. Jing Ge'er just felt sorry for him.
Jian Hui didn’t think there was anything wrong with such sympathy. In his mind, Jing Ge’er was such a kind-hearted boy.
Looking at the eggs, he was reluctant to eat them. He wanted to hide them and then take them out secretly to look at them. However, he knew that if he took them home, other people in the family would definitely find them and snatch the eggs away.
Thinking of this result, Jian Hui hardened his heart and found a corner where the villagers could not see him. He cracked the eggshell and peeled it, then ate it bite by bite with great care. He thought, this was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten in his life.
