Chapter 1 [Door in Sleep]
Dayun Dynasty, Leting County, Qinghe Town.
He Sheng woke up from his sleep in a daze, and what greeted him was the unbearable hunger in his belly and the pain that came from all over his body.
"Hiss——"
Subconsciously, he took in a breath of cold air to relieve the pain all over his body.
"Did I drink too much last night?"
After careful recall, I have no memory of getting into a fight while drunk. I vaguely remember that after gathering with friends, I returned home early to go to bed and didn't even eat the fruit plate. I was so honest.
“Hmm~~~”
Stand up from the bed and gently rub his forehead with both hands.
The next second, the whole person froze.
For no other reason than the home he saw was different from the decoration of his high-rise building.
Directly ahead is a mottled and cracked mud wall with several crumbling mud blocks that may fall down at any time. On the left is a square table with three legs. There is also a candlestick with only half of it left on the table, and a teacup that seems to be made of bamboo tubes.
In addition, there are two small vats piled in the corner.
“???”
He looked confused, and his head immediately shut down.
It took a long time before a sentence came out of his mouth.
“Damn it, you’re getting up so hard!”
After saying that, he lay back down and went back to sleep.
“Bang——”
The free fall caused his already sore body to become even more sore.
The hard touch on his back made him realize that he was not sleeping on a soft bed, but on the hard earthen kang that he had slept on in the countryside when he was a child.
"It's not an illusion, nor a dream."
After saying that, his eyes went dark.
A large stream of memories poured into my mind. About half an hour later, he opened his eyes, sweating profusely, with incredible expression in his eyes.
If he had a mobile phone with him, He Sheng would definitely take it out and log into the forum for help.
[Ask, what should I do if I wake up and travel to another world? 】
Yes, he ran into a bizarre event that only appeared in novels.
“No, I can’t figure it out. There is nothing unsatisfactory about my life. I am in a third-tier city. I have a car, a house, savings, and occasionally go to a restaurant. Although I have no partner, I can say that I live a happy life. Why do you want me to travel through time?"
Unfortunately, no one responded.
He was sorting through the memories that had just emerged in his mind with a painful look on his face.
The original owner was born in a relatively well-off family, and his father was a farmer who owned ten acres of paddy fields. Don't look down upon it, let alone think that ten acres of paddy field is too little.
Compared with other townspeople in the town, it is a proper little rich family.
But something desperate happened.
The father of this body is not a reliable person. In other words, since his mother passed away due to illness a few years ago, his father immediately degenerated and became an alcoholic.
Drink just drink, there is always some money left at home.
Unexpectedly, not only did my father carry a bottle of wine all day long, but he was also coaxed and tricked by a group of gangsters in the town into going to a gambling stall to have fun.
Next, everything falls into place.
Many years of savings have been wasted, and he still owes a large foreign debt, a total of one hundred and fifty taels of silver.
In the past, He Sheng would not have understood the concept of more than one hundred taels in ancient times. Now, having the memory of living in the town since childhood, I naturally understand that this is a huge sum of money.
Ordinary people, a family of three, as long as they don't get sick, can earn thirty-five taels a year, which is enough for the living expenses of the wife, elderly, and children at home, and they can live a decent life.
In other words, his father... No, the original owner's father lost the total annual expenses of four families in one fell swoop.
“What a cheat!!”
Ten acres of paddy field?
The land is indeed valuable, but the problem is that the father, who evolved from an alcoholic to a gambler, signed and pledged his ten acres of paddy field in the gambling stall long ago.
Tian, it’s gone.
Moreover, it also incurred a foreign debt.
The reason why my whole body aches is because the land scoundrels came to collect debts a few days ago. The original owner confessed that he had no money, so he was beaten. The surrounding neighbors naturally did not dare to cause a fishy smell, so they received a severe beating in vain without any help. There was no rice at home, I was hungry, I was injured, and I was in a low mood. If one doesn't hold on, life will be a game-over, and He Sheng, who came from time-travel, will get a big blame for nothing.
Yes, it is worth mentioning that the original name is also He Sheng.
“.”
After being silent for a long time, he looked out of the broken window.
In the dilapidated courtyard, there is a thin-skinned coffin parked. It is a cheap coffin that can be broken with a little force. There is no way, the family really doesn’t have any extra money.
“He is actually a filial fellow. His gambling father cheated him so badly that he spent his last bit of private money to buy a coffin for his father so that he could be buried in peace.”
It’s just about how I should spend my next days.
How could it be so miserable for a person who has enjoyed a modern life to suddenly come to a farmer's home similar to the ancient times on Earth? Thanks to the memory of the original owner, otherwise he would definitely be dead within a few days.
"The first priority is to fill our stomachs first."
After saying that, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Idioms such as being destitute, penniless, surrounded by Xiao Ran, etc. all pop up.
Nine years of compulsory education is not in vain!
"Boss Liu and Lao Er Liu, you two bastards, wait for me."
The two people he mentioned were well-known gangsters in the town. They had learned a few tricks in the martial arts school when they were young, and they were usually domineering.
Later, a group of idle men were gathered together to do things other than having sons. Sneaking, eating, drinking, and gambling, as long as it's a bad thing, there's nothing I won't do.
“The paddy field is gone, and I owe another one hundred and fifty taels of silver. Everything that can be sold at home has been sold. There is only water in the tank, no food. The question is, how will I survive the novice period? ”
No solution.
As long as you are in better health, you can at least go up the mountain to dig some wild vegetables, or go to the Qing River and catch two fish to satisfy your hunger. No matter what happens, you can just go out and order some food.
However, the pain in his body told him all the time that it was not allowed!
I had no choice but to get down from the kang, staggering to the water tank, and drank two gourds of water to feel full.
Then, return to the kang, try not to move as much as possible, save a little more energy, and recover from your injuries.
Get through it, there is still hope.
Can’t make it?
I hope I can return to modern times.
In ancient times, he thought he couldn't play it.
After a while, accompanied by fatigue and pain, I fell asleep.
“Buzz——”
A feeling of dizziness came, and He Sheng suddenly realized that he had arrived in front of a door without knowing when.
This door is extremely tall. It has only one row of columns. The beams intersect with the columns and are carried on the front and rear sides of the columns. Each end of the beam head bears an eaves purlin, and a hanging lotus column hangs from the lower end of the beam head.
He Sheng walked to the side and took a closer look. The whole door looked like a porter carrying a load.
"Weeping Flower Door?"
Go back to the door and start studying it carefully.
He is not a novice who doesn’t understand anything. Obviously, this is a golden finger given by God.
He raised his right hand to touch it, regardless of whether there was any risk.
No matter how great the danger is, it is nothing more than death.
If you hesitate and return to the dilapidated hut because of worry, you will still not be able to survive.
The next second, there were faint writings on the door.
Step forward and study it carefully.
""Small Town Butcher": You are hired by the mayor to go to Linjia Town to investigate the disappearance of the townspeople. Find the murderer, or give the uniform to the mayor so that he can be judged. Or, you can end the source of everything with your own hands.

In addition, at the top of the writing, there is a pig head with scarlet eyes.
