Chapter 1 Rebirth in Douluo Continent
The postgraduate entrance exam scores came out, and unfortunately, Ling Xiao's score did not reach his ideal university. He walked down the street, completely dejected.
As he was about to cross the road, Ling Xiao noticed a truck rushing towards a little girl. After a quick calculation, Ling Xiao realized he was confident he could save the little girl, so he immediately went forward and pulled her to safety.
Just as Ling Xiao pulled the little girl to a safe place and breathed a sigh of relief, the truck changed direction for some reason, deviating from its original track. The truck's current direction was exactly where Ling Xiao was standing, in the safe area.
Because the truck was going too fast, Ling Xiao couldn't run away from where it had passed. So, in his last moments, he threw the girl away. He then felt his body fly out, but the little girl he had saved wasn't hit. After that, Ling Xiao lost consciousness.
Soon, the surrounding crowd gathered around, all saying that Ling Xiao's death was truly gruesome, that he was utterly mutilated.
Someone saw that a car accident had occurred and immediately called the police. Soon, the police arrived and took control of the scene.
The next day, Ling Xiao became a trending topic, with everyone praising his selfless act of saving others. The truck driver was also convicted of causing death by driving late at night.
And then that was it. After all, Ling Xiao was an orphan, and once the hype died down, not many people would care anymore.
Fortunately, the little girl's parents, to thank Ling Xiao for risking his life to save their daughter, gave him a grand funeral and burned paper money for him every year during festivals.
When Ling Xiao regained consciousness, his first thought was that he must have been saved by the doctors. But when he saw his little hand, he was stunned.
After thinking for a long time, Ling Xiao finally realized that he had been reborn, but who was he now? Why did he have no recollection of himself at all?
Just then, an old man walked in and asked with concern, "My dear grandson, you're finally awake! Does your head hurt? And why were you so careless, falling from such a tall tree? If anything had happened to you, how could I live? You're my only family now! I don't want to bury my child!"
Perhaps it was the body's instinct, but Ling Xiao understood the old man's words. However, Ling Xiao didn't know how to reply. The reason was that he really didn't know how to speak the language the old man used.
When the old man saw that Ling Xiao didn't react, he panicked and kept muttering, "Grandson, did you fall from the tree and become stupid? What am I going to do? He's my only grandson, and I'm counting on him to take care of me in my old age! If you're stupid, what hope do I have left to live!"
Ling Xiao noticed the old man's anxiety, so he started gesturing with his hands to try and make the old man understand what he meant.
Ling Xiao moved slightly and found that his body was in great pain with the slightest movement. Based on what the old man had just said, Ling Xiao guessed that the owner of this body had probably fallen from a tree and died. He had taken over the body before it cooled down, and thus was resurrected.
Ling Xiao couldn't bear to worry the old man, so he endured the pain and continued to gesture. After a long time of gesturing, the old man finally understood that his grandson wasn't stupid; he had just fallen and hit his head, forgetting everything and now unable to speak.
The old man sighed helplessly, thinking: As long as he's not mentally impaired, it's alright if he forgets everything. At worst, he can teach Ling Xiao to speak again; it's not a big deal. After preparing himself mentally, the old man began to talk to Ling Xiao and teach him to speak.
Time passed slowly, and it was already dinnertime. The old man went to cook, and Ling Xiao began to think about whether he had any way to restore his memories. After all, it would be too difficult to relearn a language without memories.
"Right, I've been reincarnated, so shouldn't I have a system?" Ling Xiao thought to himself.
