Chapter 1: Crossing
Yike lay quietly on the bed, looking at her husband reluctantly, and slowly closed her eyes. Yike died, and after his death he found that he could still feel pain, and it was so painful that he wished he could die again. Her head felt like it was being pierced by thousands of needles. She couldn't help but hold her head. She found that her hands had passed through her body and her body was no longer solid.
"It hurts! Why does it hurt so much? Am I not dead? Why is it still hurting! Black and White Impermanence, hurry up! Take me to the underworld! Will it stop hurting after I go to the underworld? Hurry up, I want to go to the underworld!" A ghost floating in the air howled.
"It hurts so much! Husband, come and save me! Husband, it hurts so much! I'm going to die! Wuuuuuu..."
"Aren't you dead? Idiot!" a voice sounded in my ears.
Yi Ke turned around and saw someone he didn't recognize. "Who are you? A ghost? Please save me! I'm in so much pain!"
"No! How can a dead person feel pain? You are kidding!"
"Ahhh! It hurts so much! I'm going to complain to you for not helping me!" Yike screamed desperately, trying to divert the pain by screaming.
"Haha! Complain? Go ahead and complain!" The shadow waved his hand, and Yi Ke was thrown out in an instant...
Yike opened his eyes amidst a burst of noisy sounds and saw a bunch of childish little faces.
"Wake up, wake up!"
“Sister, sister!”
"Little sister Xiaocao!"
"Little Cao sister, that's great! That's great! You finally woke up."
Yi Ke was confused: "Am I not dead? Who are these people? Where is my husband?"
Yike stared blankly at these concerned eyes, and his brain froze for a moment. At this moment, one unfamiliar memory after another drilled into her brain. After accepting these memories, Yike became even more confused. Is there really such a thing as time travel in this world? She traveled through time?
Time travel is Yi Ke's favorite type of novel. She never expected that she would also be on a time-travelling vehicle. But she seemed to have got off the bus a little too early, in 1961, what a tragedy!
Yike didn't know if this world was still the world she lived in, because from the limited memory of the original owner, she learned that the year was 1961, and buying things not only required money, but also bills and so on. The original owner had never attended school for a single day, and he heard all this from the villagers.
In modern society, one can remember the three consecutive years of natural disasters from 1959 to 1961, when people suffered from severe food shortages. Yike just happened to travel through this most difficult period of time, and she really wanted to die again.
Hehehehe! What a broken car! If we had failed as early as the 1980s or 1990s, wouldn’t it be great if we could catch the spring breeze of reform? Why did it happen in the most difficult times instead of earlier? This must be the work of a time-travelling god.
The time-travel master: Who said the roads were uneven in the 1960s?
The current owner of Yike's body is only thirteen years old. Her name is also Han Yike, but people call her by her nickname Xiaocaoer.
Today, the original owner and his friends in the village were collecting firewood in the mountains. After collecting the firewood, they climbed up the tree to pick a wild fruit that they had finally found. When the original owner stepped on the branch and stretched out his arm to hook a fruit at the end of the tree, he heard a "crack", the branch broke, and the grass fell off the tree with a "snap".
The original owner fell down onto the pile of rocks under the tree. The soul of someone who died in modern times inexplicably traveled through here. No one knew where the soul of this body had gone. One can guess that the original owner might have fallen and hit the time-travel car, causing it to overturn, hahaha! Our group got off the bus, but the poor little grass was gone.
In order to avoid being exposed and also to sort out the memories in her brain, she simply turned her head and fainted again.
"Oh my god, I'm dizzy again!"
"Why are you dizzy again? What should I do?"
"What should we do? Aunt Huaihua will definitely come to our house and make trouble."
"This is terrible. I will definitely be beaten by my father this time."
"Woo woo, I don't want to be beaten."
"Sister, sister, wake up! Don't scare me! Sister, what should I do? What should I do?" A girl hugged Xiao Cao'er's head and cried. This little girl is the original owner’s sister, named Han Guihua.
My head hurts from all the shouting and crying. Then she was shaken awake again and cried out: "It hurts, it hurts so much..."
"Wake up, wake up, great!"
"It's okay, it's okay, I won't be beaten anymore!"
"It's so good to be awake!"
"Sister Guihua, can you please check where Xiaocao is injured?"
The kids started chirping again...
The girl holding Yi Ke cried, "Sister, don't be afraid! Where does it hurt? I'll show you."
"No, don't look, my butt hurts." Yi Ke said embarrassedly.
"Oh! Oh! Come, I'll help you stand up slowly. Let me see how your butt is hurt."
"Sister Guihua, let me help you too." A little girl in red clothes also hurried over to support the other side of Xiaocaoer.
"Ah, it hurts! Slow down, slow down!" Xiao Cao'er grimaced in pain. The original owner fell from such a high tree, and there were rocks everywhere below. It seems that the injury was quite serious this time! But she really gained something by being able to live again.
Yike tried hard to stand firmly, and finally, with the help of his sister Han Guihua and the girl in red, he tried to take a step forward.
"Well! My leg is not injured, thank goodness!" In this era of lack of medical care and medicine, if you break a bone, you will basically become a cripple.
When other children saw him moving, they shouted, "That was close! Luckily his leg wasn't broken!"
Yike couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing that.
Sister Han Guihua helped Yike to a big tree, asked her to hold the trunk and drive away all the boys. Sister Han Guihua yelled to the boys not far away: "Go, go further away, don't peek over here. If anyone dares to look over here, we won't play with him anymore."
When the boys heard this, they immediately promised: "Sister Guihua, we promise not to peek. Whoever does will be called a puppy!" After that, they ran to the bend of the mountain to play.
"What is this for?" Although Yi Ke was confused, he didn't dare to ask for fear of being exposed.
"Unbutton your pants and take them off so I can see if your butt is broken."
My sister Han Guihua reached out to take off her pants, but Yike quickly held on to the waistband of her pants tightly and refused to let go. It would be so embarrassing to take off her pants with so many people around.
"Sister, no more, let's not watch it anymore, okay? Let's go home and watch it later, okay?" Yike begged for mercy quickly.
"Xiao Cao'er, just let Sister Guihua take a look. What if there's bleeding?"
"Yes, yes. If there is bleeding, we can apply herbal compresses."
The friends all advised.
"Be good, listen to me. I'll just take a look to see if it's serious. Is there any bleeding? If there is bleeding, I'll apply herbal medicine." Sister Han Guihua softened her tone and coaxed, "Be good, little sister. I'll just take a look, be good."
Yi Ke turned his head away in shame and compromise. He has lost all his face after being a few decades old.
Sister Han Guihua said, "Xiaohong, Xiaohua, Xiaoyan, Xiaoliu, come here, help me block it, I want to see how my sister's butt is injured."
When Yike heard her sister Han Guihua calling their names, the memories of these people emerged in her mind.
Xiaohong is my uncle’s daughter. She is 10 years old and is in the first grade at the village school.
Xiaoliu is my aunt’s daughter. She is 11 years old and is also in the second grade in the village school.
Xiaohua and Xiaoyan are the daughters of the village chief. They are twin sisters, 15 years old this year, and are in the fourth grade in the village school. They are not only the same age as Xiaocaoer’s sister, but also classmates, so they have the best relationship with the original owner’s sisters.
Sister Han Guihua pulled down Yike's pants, exposing his buttocks. Yike's face suddenly turned redder than a monkey's butt. Of course, her skin was already dark red from years of hard work, wind and sun exposure, so others couldn't tell that she was blushing because she was shy.
"Are you not hurt?" Sister Han Guihua touched Yike's butt in confusion.
He let out a loud "Ah" cry of pain.
"What...what happened?" My sister was so frightened that she shuddered and almost let go of the waistband of her pants. The pants fell down, and her legs were really bare.
Yike looked at her sister with tears in her eyes and said, "It hurts. It hurts when you touch it." This time she really cried in pain, and her old face was so embarrassed that she felt panic.
"Well, then I won't touch you. Don't cry." The sister hurriedly put on her pants for her.
"What should I do? It hurts so much." Sister Xiaocaoer was very anxious.
The other boys heard the shouting and thought something had happened again. They ran over and said in unison: "What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?"
Yike couldn't even say the three words "my butt hurts", so Xiaohong helped her answer.
The boys also started to feel embarrassed. One of the older boys said, "It's good that there's no bleeding. It should be painful. It will heal overnight. How about this, don't tell the adults about this when you get home, or they will say we are naughty and get beaten, okay?"
"Okay, okay, if the adults find out, we will definitely be beaten, and Aunt Huaihua will definitely ask our parents for money for the medicine. Xiaocao'er, even if your mother gets the money, she won't show it to you, so why don't we go home and tell them? We'll help you carry your firewood back."
"That's right, let's not say anything. If we don't say anything, we won't get beaten."
Sister Xiao Cao'er also said, "Sister, there is no external injury. It may be caused by the fall. It will be fine in a few days. Why don't we tell our parents?"
"I have no problem. If I tell you, I will be beaten. So everyone please stop telling me. Thank you for helping me!" Yike quickly expressed his opinion.
In Yi Ke's memory, the original owner's mother was called Yang Huaihua, who was 46 years old this year. She was a rude, arrogant, and extremely biased person, who either beat or scolded the original owner.
According to Yang Huaihua's personality, she would definitely eat a meal of bamboo slices. Yang Huaihua would also use this as an excuse to blackmail other children's parents into paying for medical expenses, and no one present could escape. Yang Huaihua is a piece of shit. She won't pay Xiaocaoer for his medical treatment even if he gets the money, so it's better not to say anything.
