Chapter 1: Get Out
because I'm paralyzed and can't take care of you anymore, did you relapse again"Lu subconsciously went to the bed, and upon seeing it, his eyes widened in astonishment.A thin man lay on the dilapidat..."How come"
"Won't he die"
"Serves him right, no one will ever beat us again."
Before his eyes opened, he could hear malicious laughter and gleeful whispers from the ear.
He opened his eyes abruptly and saw several small creatures talking to each other. They looked pale and emaciated, with not a single speck of color on their faces. They resembled little chicks.
Lu didn't get a chance to speak. As he saw the four little guys waking up, his face changed at once. The four of them turned and ran, running while exclaiming in terror.
"He woke up."
"I'm going to hit you."
"Daddy, help me!"
"We have no eggs!"
Lu looked at the little guy who ran away in strange way, then looked around.
A dilapidated courtyard with mud walls, the center of which is three dilapidated earthen houses. Their roofs are thatched with straw. There are two more dilapidated earthen houses on each side of the main house. Besides these few rooms, there is nothing else in the courtyard, looking bare and desolate.
Where is this Wasn't it supposed to be dead
Being a military doctor in the 21st century, he was attacked by enemy shelling while treating wounded soldiers. According to reason, it would be impossible for him to survive.
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, a flood of memories suddenly surged into his head, and he quickly understood his current situation.
I have traveled through time, to the Great Zhou Dynasty, Qinghe County, Qili Town, Xiejiacun. I am Xie Yunjin, a scholar, and this is my wife Lu.
This man is beyond words. Not only is he rude and vulgar in his speech and actions, but he's also incredibly violent. He beats and insults everyone, including his own quadruplet sons! That's why the four little guys are terrified of him.
This morning, I boiled two eggs after waking up. Because they were too hot, I didn't have time to eat them. As a result, when I came back from the bathroom, the eggs were gone.
So, believing the two eggs had been eaten by his own son, he picked up his son and beat him. As a result, he used too much force, tripped over his own feet, fell to the ground, and hit his head on a stone, dying instantly. That's how it all happened.
Lu Wu was speechless. He raised an eyebrow, struggling to get up. This simple action of getting up seemed to have exhausted him completely, leaving him drenched in sweat.
Looking at his own dark complexion, he thought back to the four small creatures he had seen earlier, those with no weight and barely any meat on their bones. He couldn't help but feel sympathy for them.
I'm just a little dizzy from the loss right now, so I think I'll go inside and rest for a bit.
As soon as Lu stepped into the dilapidated earthen hut, he heard a faint sob coming from the east bedroom.
"Daddy, we don't have any eggs."
"Well, I haven't eaten either. Father taught us that taking things without permission is stealing, and we wouldn't steal."
But they didn't believe us, insisted that we eat, and even threatened to beat us.
The east bedroom was filled with cries, but these weren't the usual wails of a child. They were stifled sobs, laced with a deep, heartbreaking sense of grievance that tugged at your heartstrings.
Lu subconsciously walked towards the east room. As soon as he went in, the four little guys who were crying in the room instantly fell silent. Four pale yellow faces turned white at the same time, and the four of them quickly scurried to the head of the bed, looking like they wanted to burrow into the wall.
"Lu, just because I'm paralyzed and can't take care of you anymore, did you relapse again"
Lu subconsciously went to the bed, and upon seeing it, his eyes widened in astonishment.
A thin man lay on the dilapidated bed. Though slender, he possessed an indescribable nobility. His black hair was as dark as ink, like cold jade, and his eyebrows and eyes carried a chillingly handsome air.
Despite being seriously injured, Mingming didn't show any signs of distress.
But at this moment, the depths of his ink-black eyes held a bone-chilling coldness. He stared coldly at Lu.
If he could speak at this moment, Lu would have no doubt that this person could cut off his throat.
On the bed, Xie Yunjin saw Lu Bu again and opened his mouth in disgust: “I told you not to come near them again, can't you hear me”
Lu, after hearing Xie Yunjin's words, subconsciously wanted to explain: "Me"
Before the words could be spoken, footsteps sounded outside the door. Before anyone entered, a concerned voice came in first.
"Third brother, how are you feeling today Are you any better"
The people in the room walked towards the newcomer. He was thin and lanky, hunched over, looking much older than his less than thirty years.
This man is Xie Yunjin's second older brother, Xie Erzhu.
Three days ago, Xie Yunjin was seriously injured by a carriage in town. His parents, Lao Xie and Lao Tai, immediately sent someone to Baohutang in town to hire a doctor to treat Xie Yunjin's injuries.
> The doctor only said after the examination that Xie Yunjin's injuries were extremely severe, and it would cost a lot of money to treat him. Even if he recovered, he might be disabled in the future and remain bedridden for the rest of his life.
When Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie heard this, their faces immediately changed. Then they discussed whether to treat the injury or not Was it worth treating And after Xie Yunjin was paralyzed, who would take care of their family
Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie had four sons in total. Xie Yunjin was the third son. Mr. Xie favored the eldest son, while Mrs. Xie favored her youngest pair of twin sons.
Xie Yunjin and his second older brother were not favored by their parents since childhood.
However, when Xie Yunjin was eight years old, he was discovered to be very intelligent by the private school teacher in town. The teacher went to Xie Lao and Xie Laotai's house and told them to send him to school.
After that, he performed amazingly, first passing the civil service examination for a junior official position, and then passing the imperial examination for a scholar.
This is the first scholar to appear in Xiejiacun for decades. The people of Xiejiacun are proud of him, and Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie are respected because of him, so they treat him very well. However, a serious injury unexpectedly throws him back into despair.
After much deliberation, the Xie family decided to give this house to Xie Yunjin. They gave him five taels of silver to treat his injuries, hoping for a good recovery but ultimately accepting that his fate lay in his own hands.
The original family disagreed with this division of the household. Xie's family didn't want to argue and simply drove them out to the old house.
Yuan was very angry and wouldn't give Xie Yunjin money for his treatment. In the end, Xie Erzhu took out the silver that Xie Yunjin had previously made up for him and went to Baohetang to buy medicine. He then ran to a remote place in the mountains, boiled the medicine, and sent it over. Only then was Xie Yunjin's life saved.
On the bed, Xie Yunjin listened to Xie Erzhu's words, and his proud eyebrows softened by two points.
"Second brother, I'm much better now."
Xie Erzhu let out a sigh of relief and quickly walked to the bedside: "Third brother, take your medicine. I'll change the poultice for you later."
Lu Zheng opened his mouth and asked, "Do you need any help"
Who knew, before he could even speak, Xie Yunjin suddenly turned his head, his brows and eyes cold and icy, like a shard of ice in the depth of winter: "Get out."otsteps sounded outside the door. Before anyone entered, a concerned voice came in first."Third brother, how are you feeling today Are you any better"The people in the room walked towards the newcomer...
