"Master, it's done!"
Longxia Country, Southeast Province, Ling'an City First People's Hospital.
An old man in his seventies or eighties was lying on the hospital bed.
The old man's name is Xu Jianguo, and he is the chairman of the board of directors of Longyao Group.
A middle-aged man was standing beside the bed, bending over the old man, waiting for him to speak.
"Let's go!"
The old man's voice was hoarse and weak, like a flame swaying in the wind and about to go out.
As car sirens blared, a convoy of vehicles drove out of the hospital parking lot, accompanied by an ambulance.
Two hours later, the convoy arrived in Yunling Township, Fu'an County, which is under the jurisdiction of Ling'an City, and stopped in front of a supermarket called Haoyunlai in Sandaliang Village.
The sudden arrival of so many cars, including an ambulance, immediately made the originally quiet mountain village lively.
More and more villagers who didn't know the truth gathered together, whispering to each other from time to time.
A dozen men in black quickly surrounded the car in the middle and looked around vigilantly.
The old man who had been lying on the hospital bed got out of the car with the help of two nurses.
The old man came to the entrance of the supermarket and stood there looking at the building in front of him.
This is an old bungalow with red brick walls and wooden doors and windows, which shows its age everywhere.
After looking for a while, the old man slowly walked to the door of the supermarket and stretched out his old hands to stroke the red brick wall.
From his trembling hands, it can be seen that the old man is very excited at this moment.
After a moment, the old man said, "Come in!"
Four men in black were left guarding the door, and the old man was helped into the house.
The house is not big, about 70 square meters.
The layout is no different from that of an ordinary small supermarket, and the shelves are filled with a wide variety of goods.
Without stopping, everyone pushed open the door and went to the backyard.
The layout of this house is in the shape of a Chinese character "口", facing south. There is a supermarket in front and a yard in the back. The yard is about 40 square meters. The main room is in the middle of the house, with two rooms on each side.
On both sides of the main house are wing rooms. The east wing is used as a warehouse for storing goods, and the west wing is converted into a toilet and utility room.
There is a pressurized water well in the southwest corner of the yard. The rust on it shows that it has not been used for many years.
Looking at the yard in front of him, the old man's body trembled slightly, and he raised his hand and pointed at the main house not far away.
Seeing this, the nurses on both sides hurriedly helped him into the room on the west side of the main house.
There was no bed in the room, only a kang and some wooden furniture. Although old, it was very clean. There was a kang table at the head of the kang and a row of kang cabinets at the end of the kang.
The bedding had been laid out on the kang, and with the help of the nurse, the old man lay down on it.
"What time is it now?" the old man asked.
"Grandpa, it's almost 6:30 in the evening." The middle-aged man who was in the hospital before spoke.
"I'm tired and want to sleep for a while. You all go out!" said the old man.
"Would you like to eat something before going to bed?" asked the middle-aged man.
"No, I'm not hungry now, you guys can go out!" said the old man.
After the middle-aged man agreed, he led people out of the room and closed the door.
Just as the door closed, there was a "puff" sound, and the old man lying on the kang suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
But the old man did not panic, as if he had known his situation for a long time. He did not care at all about the blood-stained clothes on his chest. He just slowly raised his left hand and wiped the blood from his mouth.
But he didn't notice that when he was wiping the blood, the ancient-style ring on his left ring finger emitted a faint light and instantly absorbed the blood on his hand.
The old man lay on the kang, looking around with his cloudy eyes and repeating something over and over again.
As his voice became smaller and smaller, the old man slowly closed his eyes and a tear rolled down from the corner of his eye.
…
August 19, 1960.
At 5:30 in the morning, Xu Jianguo opened his eyes blankly and looked around.
But what came into view was a scene of desolation.
Dilapidated wooden beams and bumpy adobe walls.
"Where am I?" Xu Jianguo thought to himself.
He sat up from the kang and was about to get up when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head and countless fragments of memories emerged from his mind.
After about five minutes, the pain disappeared and Xu Jianguo's eyes gradually regained clarity.
"I traveled through time?" Xu Jianguo carefully recalled the memories in his mind.
Yes, Xu Jianguo traveled through time and space to a world parallel to Longxia’s 1960s.
To be precise, it was his soul after death that traveled here and became the new owner of this body.
As for where the original soul of this body went, Xu Jianguo didn't know.
However, according to his guess, the two souls should have merged into one, with his soul as the main body, because just now, all the memories about this body suddenly appeared in his mind.
The original owner of this body was also named Xu Jianguo, 15 years old, and an ordinary villager in Sandaliang Village.
The original owner's parents fled here 20 years ago to escape famine. The two fainted from hunger and were rescued by the village chief at the time. They eventually settled down here.
They thought they could finally live a peaceful life, but things did not go as they wished. In the summer when Xu Jianguo was 8 years old, heavy rains hit Yunling Township. When the couple was working in the mountains, a sudden mountain torrent swept away more than 20 people, including Xu Jianguo's parents, leaving no trace of their bodies.
