Chapter 3 3 Past and Present Lives

Why is it said that time travel also requires the right time, right place, and right people?

Wei Guangde, a native of Chengdu, Sichuan, was born in the second generation of the Tianfu New District.

With the compensation and resettlement housing given by the state, life is also very happy. He is in his twenties. He just said goodbye to his parents and took his girlfriend, who works as a teacher, to travel during the summer vacation. He took a luxury cruise ship from Chongqing to travel along the river and planned to return from Shanghai.

The cruise ship went down the river and passed Jiujiang City that day. When passing a place called Madang, Wei Guangde, who was standing on the boat to watch the scenery, saw children swimming by the river. Then he saw a child not far from the cruise ship who seemed to have a problem. He was floating and sinking there, and one hand was shaking constantly.

He was drowning. It was estimated that he swam too far, either he had no strength, or he was tired and cramped.

This was Wei Guangde’s first reaction when he saw this situation.

In summer, he didn’t wear many clothes. Wei Guangde decisively took off his short-sleeved shirt and shorts and told his girlfriend to call for help, and then he jumped in.

Although I have never saved anyone, I have heard that there are still skills to saving people. You can't go to save people face to face, or they will hug you directly, and then everyone will die.

Wei Guangde decisively swam behind the child, hooked his chin with one hand, and could only lean back and swim with the child to the boat.

At this time, his girlfriend had called a lot of people, and everyone worked together to rescue the child. The child was quickly pulled onto the boat, and just as Wei Guangde was about to get on the boat, he felt a suction force under his feet, dragging him underwater.

At first he was scared to death and thought he had encountered a water ghost, but as a third-rate college student with sixteen years of orthodox education, he knew that there were no demons or monsters in this world, and it was not allowed to become spirits after the founding of the People's Republic of China. This was not a general statement.

But what was this suction force?

Under the iron fist of the proletariat, could there be such a thing that slipped through the net, and he encountered it?

After a while, he began to struggle desperately, feeling as if the world was spinning, and then he heard someone on the boat shouting "whirlpool".

When Wei Guangde woke up again, he was already here, in the 29th year of Jiajing, still in Jiujiang, and this place is called Madang.

I heard from my elder brother that he followed others to go fishing on a patrol boat, and then fell into the water. It was also his fault that he kicked the boat, which made him farther away from the boat.

It is estimated that he encountered an underwater whirlpool, and he disappeared in a few seconds and sank directly.

Maybe it was because of his good luck. Several military households went into the water and finally pulled him out of the drowning and dying. I thought he was all dead, but I didn't expect that he was lucky enough to survive.

However, at this time, the one who woke up was no longer the original Wei Guangde, but Wei Guangde from hundreds of years later.

Time, well, they all encountered underwater whirlpools, which was a coincidence.

Geographical advantage, it seems that the place has also changed, that is, here.

Renhe, that is, both of them are called Wei Guangde. I guess the Black and White Impermanence couldn't tell them apart for a while, or they made a mistake. Anyway, he was fine and alive again, and he went back hundreds of years ago.

In the first two days, Wei Guangde was really not used to it. A strong young man in his twenties suddenly became a child in his teens, with thin arms and legs, which was really uncomfortable.

The most important thing is that he has to face two unfamiliar people calling him parents, not to mention the disgusting feeling.

However, after resting for two days, perhaps because of sleep, Wei Guangde kept dreaming about everything about little Wei Guangde in his sleep. Maybe this is the fusion of body memory.

After resting for a few days, Wei Guangde gradually adapted and gradually accepted everything.

Fortunately, for his identity, his family paid tens of thousands of yuan for the fine for excessive births.

Even if he was gone, his parents would still have his brother to take care of them. I think there would be no big problem in his later life, and the family conditions were there.

This is also a brave act, Wei Guangde comforted himself in his heart.

It just so happened that Wei Guangde in this life also had an elder brother, but the two elder brothers had different names. The elder brother in this life was called Wei Wencai, which sounded very scholarly, but he was not destined to be a scholar, and he might inherit his father's hereditary centurion position in the future.

This is the Bengshan Centurion under the Right Army Thousand Households of Jiujiang Guard in the Ming Dynasty, and the current centurion Wei Meng is his father.

Jiujiang Guard was the central army of the Ming Empire, directly under the jurisdiction of the Front Army Governor's Office. Although it was a little worse than the central army like the military camp, it was also a central direct-affiliated unit, and it was stationed on the Yangtze River. If there was something wrong in the capital, it would be called up at the first time.

This was also known a few days ago. In the past, Wei Guangde, in addition to studying, was a foodie, especially fond of fish. I don't know if people who live by the Yangtze River for a long time can still lack fish to eat. Maybe this is why he went out that day.

After passing through the front yard, it took a few steps to reach the backyard mansion, where people could be seen. After all, the family was considered a hundred households' residence, and there were several servants, who usually stayed in the backyard. The front yard was the office.

"Where is my mother?"

Wei Guangde asked directly when he saw the maid next to his mother.

"Inner room, young master, go and persuade the lady, she drove us all out."

The maid spoke immediately. The maid was in her forties or fifties, and usually followed Wei Guangde's mother and helped sweep the backyard.

Although the Hundred Households of the Ming Dynasty were also military officers of the sixth rank, they were not comparable to the civil officials of the sixth rank in terms of economy. They had too little wealth. Wei Guangde's family only hired a few servants, all of whom were older. They provided food and lodging, and only needed to pay a little money.

As for buying a few girls as maids, Wei Guangde also wanted to, but his family was not well-off, although it was also the richest in the fort.

When he entered the house, Wei Guangde saw his mother, Wei Wu, sitting by the bed wiping her tears. She didn't sob, but she seemed to be unable to stop crying.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Who offended you?"

Wei Guangde pretended to be stupid at first and asked.

"Nothing, is school over? Are you hungry? There are cakes in the outer room. Go and have some first."

When Wei Guangde was talking at the door, his mother actually knew that her son was back, so she stopped crying. Now she had packed up and sat upright and spoke to him, but the smoke rings were still red.

Wei Guangde couldn't pretend anymore. After all, if he didn't care about such a big thing, he would be too careless.

"I saw my father when I entered the fort earlier. He said that they were just ordered to gather and pretend. He estimated that the Tartars would be beaten back by the border army before their ship reached Yingtian, so he told us to be at ease."

After the information bombardment of later generations, although Wei Guangde knew that the combat power of the Ming Dynasty army was really not good, the border army still had the strength to fight, at least much stronger than their Jiujiang Guard.

At this time, he could only talk about the powerful combat power of the Northern Army, which at least sounded more convincing.
