How to work

In the winter month of the fifth year of Taijia, it was rainy in Guan County. On the night of the 22nd, the rain gradually stopped until the last quarter moon appeared faintly.Under the moonlight, the water of the moat flows quietly, glowing softly, as if it is no different from yesterday.

Shu people live a leisurely life, and few people are willing to get up early in cold weather. The shops that do breakfast business have not even opened their doors. The only people who will appear on the street are watchmen except for the night watchmen.

Zhang Gui has been a watchman for three years, and he would start yawning every time this point came.It's five o'clock soon, and he can rest if he knocks again today.He put the mallet in his arms, clasp on his shoulders, and put his hands into his sleeves. He walked slowly in small steps, thinking about where to grab something to eat later.

Liji’s porridge on East Street is fragrant and thick, but it’s a bit far away; the steamed stuffed bun shop on West Street is good, but unfortunately people are too lazy to get up before he knocks five o’clock. If a breakfast shop is so lazy, sooner or later it will close the door!

He was thinking while walking, and stepped into a mud puddle without paying attention, his foot slipped, he fell forward, and fell straight into a dog eating shit.Zhang Gui got up cursing and propping himself up on the ground, his eyes fell on the river unexpectedly, his face turned pale with fright.

There was a dead body floating on the river!

The corpse was face down, and the clothes were floating on the water, so men and women could not be seen clearly, but the corpse had all hands and feet, it was clearly in the shape of a human!

Zhang Gui was startled and immediately knocked on the clapper, "He's dead——"

……

Lu Li woke up sweating profusely, and sat up abruptly.

He looked at his hands short of breath, touched his warm legs, and eagerly touched his face.

It's all hot, okay...

He took a long breath, unloaded his strength, and leaned against the wall.

It's good that he's alive again.

Everything is not a dream.

Lu Li was confirmed to have a congenital heart disease when he was born, and it could not be cured.His father is a policeman, his mother is a teacher, and his brother is a forensic doctor. He is the youngest son born to his mother in her 40s. The family is looking forward to his birth. Unfortunately, this good news comes with a huge black hole.

His illness cast a shadow over his family, and the well-off family couldn't bear the consumption of his illness, not to mention impoverished all of a sudden, but the family needed to formulate a strict spending plan so as not to overspend.

But Lu Li had a very good life and was very happy. His family gave him endless warmth, and he had no regrets at all.Because of his serious illness, he was unable to go to school like a normal child, and was taken by his parents and elder brothers in turn.His mother taught him the necessary knowledge that students should know, his father taught him how to catch bad guys, and his brother... didn't teach him anything, but only took him to watch him dissect a corpse.

My brother's work is very busy, but he is very quiet and suitable for raising children, so Lu Li spends most of his time with his brother.It's also strange, he is naturally bold, and he was not afraid when he accidentally saw his brother being dissected for the first time. After a long sigh of relief, his brother dared to take him to the dissection room, and glanced at him from time to time to ensure that he was in sight.

Lu Li stumbled until he was 23 years old, and his health became worse and worse.The last time I followed my brother for an autopsy in the field, I accidentally encountered criminals returning to the scene, and a gun battle broke out, and my brother's position was very dangerous. Someone quietly took out a wild bullet and threw it at my brother...

He rushed over without thinking.

The family has paid enough for him.According to the results of the examination half a month ago, the doctor and his parents said that he could only live another six months at most.His family thought he didn't know, but he had heard it all.

I'm going to die anyway, if I can protect my brother once, it's worth it...

Who knew that he could still wake up, and he was in this room as soon as he woke up!

Lu Li looked around the whole room with a complicated expression.

Next to the door and against the east wall is an Eight Immortals table with three benches, and on the table is a pair of coarse porcelain tea sets with blue patterns on a white background.There is a window on the south side facing the bed. It is square, about one meter in length and width. The window frame is a very classic rhombus interlaced geometric pattern. It is pasted with light yellow window paper, which rattles when the wind blows.There is a dark brown four-legged strip under the window, and there are some sundries.There is a four-corner cabinet standing by the west wall. It may be that it has been aged for a long time, and there are cracks on all four feet.

This is a very simple room.

This is an ancient, extremely simple room.

Lu Li sighed, he was still a poor man.He suddenly woke up in this room yesterday. He was terrified and restless. He thought it was sleepwalking. If he continued to wake up in this room today, he vaguely knew that he probably... couldn't go back.

The wild bomb is not as powerful as a regular bomb, but it is not that weak. His body... must be incomplete.

The word 'death' has followed him since he was born, and his parents and brothers knew that such a day would come.They will be sad, they will be sad, but as time goes by, the scars will fade away one day.

They have always hoped that he can have a healthy body and live a good life, and now this dream has come true.

He himself... also wants to live well.

Thinking about it all the time!

But with his new identity, it seems that his life is not going well.

Lu Li frowned slightly.

Suddenly changing his body, he was terrified, and the things he could notice were really limited.He didn't know how the predecessor of this body died, and he vaguely got some memories, but when he woke up, the memories that didn't belong to him were even more floating, and the information he got was very limited.

He knew that the original body was also called Lu Li, and he was an out-and-out nerd.

As long as he holds the scroll in his hand, he can never go out.

It's a pity... my aunt doesn't like him reading.

This Lu Li was an orphan. His parents were killed by bandits when he was five years old, and he was sent to be raised by his aunt, Feng Shi. Feng Shi was very concerned about him at the beginning, because he had a great fiance.

His fiancé used to be Prince Ping's son, and the old Ping Wang inherited the title. Now he is an out-and-out powerful prince.It is said that he is nine feet long, blue-faced with fangs, cruel and cold-blooded, slaughtered 8 people by hand, and can stop children from crying at night. He is a very powerful person.

I also want to know how bright the future will be if I can be close to such a big man.

It's a pity that this fiancé hasn't visited him once in ten years.

Feng's treatment of him gradually faded away.

Lu Li guessed that the Feng family just treated him slowly and did not drive him out of the house, probably because of the annual gifts that Prince Ping's mansion would send every year.

I don't know what's going on in Prince Ping's Mansion. This fiancé has never been here once, but the ceremony is very punctual twice a year, and it hasn't been interrupted once in ten years.

Thinking about it, Lu Li started to have a headache.

No useful memory could be found even if he dug deeper, he thought... let's let nature take its course.

It was just dawn, and the air was chilly. There was no charcoal basin in the room, and Lu Li was wrapped in a quilt.Once it comes, it will be safe. What he needs to think about most is how to live in the future.

……

The door creaked and someone came in.

Lu Li raised his eyes and saw that it was a nanny in her 40s.

This person came here yesterday, and Lu Li knew it. It was Mama Wang.

Mama Wang is a bit short, with a slightly plump figure, and the back of her head is neatly combed in a bun, with a copper hairpin pinned to it.I don't know if it's because he doesn't like to laugh, but his nasolabial folds are very deep, and he looks very fierce.

Ms. Wang came in with a bowl of medicine, put the medicine on the table as soon as she entered the door, and said in a cold voice, "Master, drink it while it's hot, and the servant will collect the bowl later." After speaking, she lifted the curtain and went out without even looking at Lu Li.

Lu Li was dumbfounded again.

The same was true of the woman yesterday.

In ancient times, a servant signed a contract to make a deal, shouldn't he be respectful to his master?She is so negligent that she is not afraid of his rectification... Yes, she is a servant of the Liu family, not Lu Li's servant.

Lu Li's eyes flashed, and he sighed silently.

This is ancient times, the Da'an Dynasty that did not exist in history, not the modern age that he lived in for so many years.

He is poor, depends on others, has no support, and may be controlled by others.

Before going out of the room to see this strange world, Lu Li already felt a deep sense of frustration. Can he really live a good life here?

This Mrs. Wang remembers coming to bring him medicine but not food... Lu Li said that he deeply understood the word slave bullying the master.

He didn't remember what disease he had in his previous life, but he had been sick all his life, and he had a good body in this life. He didn't want to be sick anymore, and medicine was always to cure the disease... He got up from the bed and went to the ground to find clothes to wear.

There are clothes in the corner cabinet, as well as books secretly hidden by the predecessor.Lu Li moved his clothes bag and saw that there was an old book under it. The corners of the book were curled up, the writing was a little torn, and the pages were a little scattered.He carefully reached out and took it out. It was a booklet of post-mortem records.

The autopsy book?

Lu Li rubbed his forehead and tried hard to remember, Feng Shi didn't like him reading, this book... seems to be borrowed from the next door?

The room was a bit dark, Lu Li put the book on the table, opened the window, at least some light came in.

Anyway, there is no charcoal basin in the house, and the temperature inside and outside is the same.

He tightened his clothes, flipped through the book with one hand, and reached for the medicine bowl with the other. Before he could sit down, he suddenly heard a noise outside.He turned his head and found that the big stone in the corner of the courtyard wall suddenly moved.

Lu Li put down the book and rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was reading too much, but when he read it again, the stone moved even more!

Then, a small head quietly drilled out from behind the stone...

He was a boy, eleven or twelve years old, very thin, with dark skin, and a pair of big eyes that were very clever.The boy's eyeballs rolled around, probably seeing no one, and a big smile opened on the corner of his mouth, like a firecracker, he ran towards the door like a firecracker!

Lu Li was stunned.

This man... looks very familiar.

The young man was not polite at all, he didn't knock on the door at all, he pushed the door open and came in, his voice was full of excitement, "Brother Li! A corpse was found on the moat, let's go and see it together!"
