Chapter 2 Why don't I have a heartbeat?

"Yuxu Peak, Little Red Snake, I was poisoned to death, how could a dead person feel?"

...

I don’t know how long I slept, but Xue Yu gradually regained consciousness. He felt difficulty breathing and had a split headache. It seemed that two icebergs collided in his mind, shattering his thoughts and memories, and his body felt extremely painful, and his bones seemed to have all fallen apart.

I had to open my mouth and breathe heavily. After a while, I felt my breathing more evenly and my headache slowly subsided. Then I tried hard to open my eyes.

The first thing to do was a bonfire. The orange-red flames were beating up and down, with racks on them and a black pottery jar hung. Xue Yu used the fire to look at the surrounding situation and found himself in a hall!

The interior space of the hall is quite large, but it is very broken, with all the doors and windows left. The beams of the house are covered with spider webs. There are several large holes on the top and the walls. You can see stars flying over the sky, and from time to time, black shadows flying by, bats prey on insects!

I lay in a corner of the hall, with thick hay under my body and a few pieces of rags covered with it. Although it was dirty, it was covered tightly and the corners were made.

Looking further, there were more than a dozen figures lying horizontally and vertically, all of whom were underage children, dressed in rags and slutty, sleeping on haystacks, making a few whispers from time to time, vaguely rice, big cakes, chicken legs, etc.!

Strangely, these children are dressed in rags, but they are all traditional Chinese costumes, the kind that often appears in costume dramas!

What's the situation? I'm already dead. This is the underworld and there are a group of little ghosts next to me. I feel a little different?

The underworld is one of the three realms, including black and white impermanence, soul-catching and soul-sucking, ten palaces of Yama dominate the samsara, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who saves the dead. It is logical that the treatment should be good, so why are these little ghosts in a mess?

Could it be that he was not dead and was rescued by the herdsmen at the foot of the mountain, why didn’t he take him to the hospital, but was still in a dilapidated temple and lying with a group of children?

With countless questions, Xue Yu wanted to sit up to figure out the specific situation, but found that his body was a little out of control, as if it was not his own body!

No, it doesn’t seem to be no, it’s not my body at all!

Xue Yu is 31 years old and 1.85 meters tall. Because he travels through mountains and rivers for many years, he is quite burly. However, now his body is obviously several sizes smaller, and he is about the same age as the children around him. What is the situation?

Are you alive or dead?

Are you awake or still in your dreams?

In order to find out the situation, Xue Yu struggled to raise his right hand and touched his heart position. He couldn't feel his heartbeat at all. It seemed that he was really dead!

But how can a dead person have body temperature and pain?

"Boom!--Boom!"

With all my confusion, Xue Yu's mind was filled with another severe pain. The two icebergs that had originally smashed were condensed into a whole under the influence of an inexplicable force, and countless pieces of memory were mixed together!

...

Half an hour later, Xue Yu woke up again and figured out the situation. He was indeed dead, but he was resurrected again, and was resurrected in another space!

It is the spring of the 47th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. On March 8, this is the territory of Hejian Prefecture, Beizhili (Hejian City, later Hebei Province), in a dilapidated temple in a barren mountain. The original owner of this body, named Xiao Shitou, is fourteen years old this year!

Xiao Shitou is very pitiful. He was abandoned by his relatives since he was a child. He may have been lost by himself. Anyway, he couldn't find his home. Later, he was adopted by a kind old beggar and begged along the streets together, making a difficult life!

A few years later, on a snowy night, the old beggar died of illness and starvation. Xiao Shitou became a man again, struggling hard to survive. Later, he gathered more than a dozen wandering children who were sick and pitiful, occupying this broken and leaky temple. Everyone helped each other and depended on each other for their own lives!

A few days ago, there was nothing to eat in the temple. Xiao Shi Tou climbed onto a tree to collect elm seeds, trying to satisfy his friends' hunger. Unexpectedly, there was a tiger-spotted snake in the tree hole. It bit Xiao Shi Tou's palm, but it fell from the tree and fainted on the spot. It was carried back by other wanderers!

(Tiger-spotted snake, commonly known as 'pheasant neck', is widely distributed in the north and has a medium body shape. It has a distinct neck groove on the back of the neck. The back is grass-green and square black spots; the ventral surface is light yellow-green, with faint toxicity, but it will not kill anyone!)

The homeless children had no money, so they naturally couldn't find a doctor to treat it. They had to pick some herbs randomly and apply them to the wounds. As a result, they had to hold on for three days and three nights, but they still couldn't get through!

At the same time, Xue Yu was bitten by a poisonous snake in another time and space, and unfortunately died young!

Strangely, after Xiao Shitou died, a ghost came to the underworld to report. Xue Yu's soul reversed time from a black hole under the influence of unknown power to the Ming Dynasty, and entered Xiao Shitou's body and returned to life. This is what happened in the past!

To put it simply, Xue Yu traveled through time, or to be precise, the soul traveled through time!

The term time travel is not novel in Xue Yu's original space, and the methods are even more diverse. Some people go into the wormhole of time and space to travel, some are hit by lightning, and some are traveling through time after sleeping, both soul traveling through time and body traveling through time!

Because there are too many time travelers, according to the different dynasties of time travel, they are divided into Huiqing clan, Huiming clan, and Huitang clan... There are also some powerful guys who traveled to the continent of another world and embarked on the path of cultivating immortals!

After this division, Xue Yu belongs to the Chinese History Department and is a member of the Ming clan!

The problem is that, for the Huiming clan, some people became tyrants, took charge of the world, ordered all nations, and achieved great achievements!

Some people become princes, with glory and wealth, beautiful wives and concubines, and are free and proud for life!

No matter how bad it is, you can still be a family of officials. You can be a prodigal son who has no worries about food and clothing, eat, drink and have fun all day long. With a little use of his skills, he can earn a mountain of gold and silver!

Why did I have such a little back and traveling through time to become a little wanderer, without power, and without support, and I can't even solve the basic food and clothing. Is this starting point of my life too low?

"Forget it, life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in heaven, as long as you are still alive!

Little Stone, don’t worry, from now on, you and I will merge into one. Little Stone is Xue Yu, Xue Yu is Xiao Shi Tou. I will live well and take good care of these friends!"

Xue Yu is an optimistic person and soon figured it out. He thought his life was over, but he didn't expect another game to start again. Although the starting point was a little lower, it was a good thing after all, and it was even more a rare opportunity!

I remember that before I traveled through time, I read a particularly popular historical novel. The protagonist was a little black-faced. He was thundered by a lightning bolt until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was bitten by a hungry wolf just after that and almost died. Later, he survived by luck and became a little Taoist priest!

The starting point of Xiao Hei-faced traveling was also very low, but he was not discouraged. Instead, he relied on his wisdom and courage, worked hard little by little, joined the army, fought in all directions, defeated all enemies, captured many beauties, gave birth to more than twenty children, and finally captured the whole world, creating a prosperous dynasty!

You can do what others can do, and you will do better. Even if your destiny is unfair to you, you will have to go against the will of heaven and change your destiny!

Besides, although I am penniless and poor, I have a bunch of brothers and sisters, and they are priceless treasures!

With the fire, Xue Yu looked at the little beggars around him and according to the memories he had absorbed, he took them one by one. No one had official names, only nicknames:

Mouse, twelve years old, is born with a very thin figure. In order to survive, he has mastered his unique skills in stealing, climbing over the wall, walking on flat ground, and taking money bags, as fast as lightning, so he got this nickname!

Manniu, fourteen years old, is a farmer, has a reckless personality, is straightforward and has a good strength!

Hutou, thirteen years old, focuses on loyalty, is brave and fierce, and has learned several sets of fists and feet from others. He often fights with other beggars. Because he is still young, he always wins less and loses more!

The little rabbit is the mouse's sister, only six years old, and is the youngest among the little beggars. She has a gentle personality and is kind, and is deeply loved by everyone!

The Baihua Snake, thirteen years old, was wandering from Huguang area. He has a gloomy personality, does not like to talk, nor does he like to contact others, but he has a true temperament!

Hongxiu, a girl, nine years old, smart and firm, and she is not inferior to a boy when fighting!

Jin Ya, a girl, nine years old, is also a little pepper, and a little beauty!

Monkey, thirteen years old, pheasant, twelve years old, is the brother of a fellow-mistress. He was originally a child of hunters in the mountains. Because his family was famined, he fled to Hejian Mansion. His parents had already starved to death!

Dahei and Erhan are both thirteen years old and are twin brothers who look exactly the same. The family turned out to be a butcher. They fled to Hejian Mansion, and their parents and relatives were no longer in the world!

There are twelve little beggars in total. Although they come from different backgrounds and come from all directions, they are now as close as a family and are struggling to survive!

After understanding the whole story, Xue Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a question: he traveled to the late Ming Dynasty and occupied the original owner's body. That was a living person, so why didn't he have a heartbeat? He wouldn't become a zombie, right?

Is Xue Yu a little scared? After checking it carefully, I finally felt the feeling of heartbeat, not on the left, but on the right!

The heart of a normal person is about the size of a fist when the chest is on the left side of the second rib and between the fifth rib!
