Chen Wendong only felt his whole body was weak, his chest was stuffy, he couldn't breathe, there was still something stirring in his mouth, and his stomach was even churning.He couldn't help vomiting for a while, and after vomiting, his mind gradually became clear.

Chen Wendong struggled to open his eyes, but was stunned by everything in front of him. Could it be that he was dreaming?

"Brother is awake! Look! Brother is awake!" A little bun with braids upside down and muddy face jumped up and down in front of Chen Wendong.Chen Wendong looked at the child's red eyes and the two snot bubbles that had just popped out, and felt a pain in his heart like a needle prick.Immediately, scenes of unfamiliar but familiar images flashed in his mind, they were the memory of the original body, a little childish and a bit persistent.

"Ju'er?" Chen Wendong called tentatively, this is "his" third brother.

"Brother, wow... I thought you were dead!" The child threw himself on him, crying loudly.

"What are you talking about! Tell me again and I won't beat you up!" Another big little bun stared at his rabbit eyes, threatening the little bun while wiping tears.

"Dong'er, how do you feel now?" The person who spoke was a thin man in his 30s. Although he was upright, his eyes and eyebrows were old-fashioned and sad. Even so, there was still a strong sour smell on his body. It is the father.

"It's much better. I'm fine. Daddy, don't worry." After finishing speaking, Chen Wendong was also taken aback for a moment. He said this so naturally without any hindrance. Could it be that he was influenced by his original body?

"That's good! That's good! You should take a good rest, it's still early, and it's okay for us to leave two hours later." Father closed his eyes and leaned against the tree next to him after he finished speaking.

Chen Wendong looked at the sky, it was about four or five o'clock in the morning, before dawn, he couldn't help falling asleep, he was really tired.

Although Chen Wendong is not an atheist, he has always kept gods at a respectful distance. He did not expect to encounter the resurrection of the dead, especially when the protagonist is himself. It is very horrifying to think about it.

The original body of this body was also called Chen Wendong, a child who was just eight years old, and died in the torrent a few hours ago.

I originally lived in Chenjia Village near the Yunhe River. Due to continuous heavy rain, the river broke its embankment and diverted.

Four of the original family of five ran out, and the mother died in the torrent.At that time, the mother accidentally fell while holding the third brother, and the third brother was swept into the water. Yuan Shen quickly grabbed the child's arm and threw him ashore, but fell into the water himself.The mother was so eager to save her son that she jumped into the water and just pushed her body ashore when a torrent came and swept him away, leaving no body behind.

Yuanshen watched his mother die and choked on the muddy water, and then fainted.My father didn't know first aid, and he wasted a lot of time. When someone came to help clear the mud and sand from the mouth and nose, and empty the accumulated water in the stomach, the body had already changed owners.Chen Wendong sighed for a while, if the mother and the child had souls, he wondered if he would be blamed for occupying the magpie's nest.

In fact, Yuanshen's family was quite lucky. Most of the low-lying families did not escape, and Yuanshen's uncle's family, including grandparents, did not survive the disaster.

Now, Chen Wendong is an eight-year-old child. His father, Chen Lide, is a sour scholar. Juren, who has been in the exam for many years, is still a scholar, so he has no choice but to become a teacher in the village.Mother and father live in the same village, and she is a typical good wife and mother.The second brother, Chen Wenguang, is six years old this year. He is fair-looking, intelligent, and quite talented in reading. He is the most outstanding of the three sons of the Chen family.The third brother, Chen Wenju, is four years old this year, with a dark complexion and a skinny monkey.

Yuanshen is the eldest of the three children, and also the most inconspicuous. He has a good-natured personality and is not good at speaking.His father said that his qualifications were mediocre, and he only let him learn a few words, so that he would not be blind.According to Chen Wendong, to say that he is mediocre is an exaggeration.

Chen Wendong fell asleep and felt some strength in his body, so he called his father to set off.

Now the village has been destroyed, houses and fields are gone, and most of the surviving people have gone to Yunmen County.Yunmen County is more than a hundred miles northwest of Chenjia Village. The terrain is relatively high and there is no risk of flooding.Although Chenjia Village is not under the jurisdiction of Yunmen County, it is the closest to it.Presumably, the magistrate of Yunmen County, as an official of the imperial court, would not sit idly by.

Chen Wendong's family was at the end because of the drowning incident.In order not to be alone, Chen's father urged them to leave quickly so as to catch up with the people ahead.Having said that, it is difficult for him to walk fast as an adult with three children.

The two younger ones were too young, so Father Chen had to take turns carrying them, while Chen Wendong took care of the other and followed behind.Most of the roads leading to Yunmen County are field trails. After days of heavy rain, the road surface is muddy and slippery, making it extremely difficult to walk.

The family walked for a long time before going out for seven or eight miles. At this time, even if Chen Wendong was determined, he couldn't move his legs, not to mention that they hadn't had a drop of water since morning.

"Daddy, I'm hungry, I can't walk anymore, my feet hurt..." Wen Ju looked at his father eagerly, and wept at the end.

Chen Wendong looked at the bloody gash cut by the long grass on the two children's legs and feet, and felt a dull pain in his heart.

In the last life, his eldest grandson was six years old, two months older than Wen Guang, so what kind of life did he have, and then look at these two children, what kind of life is this?

Chen Wendong sat down on the stone on the side of the road, and he couldn't walk anymore!

Father Chen was very embarrassed, "There is not even a family in this barren mountain, you guys just bear with it, and after a few miles, you will be Wangjiazhuang, and it shouldn't be a problem to find a family to order something to eat by then. "

Before Chen's father finished speaking, Chen Wendong said directly: "Father, let's look around to see if there is anything to eat. If I'm hungry, I won't be able to walk a step."

After resting for a while, Chen Wendong stood up and walked towards the grass on the side of the road. Now that he couldn't light a fire, he could only find some wild vegetables and fruits to satisfy his hunger.

Father Chen looked at Chen Wendong and sighed, "I'm so useless!"

In fact, Chen Wendong didn't count on his father either.He studied since he was a child, and taught as a career when he was an adult. When he was at home, his mother took care of the family business. He used to stretch out his clothes to eat and open his mouth. Although he can't talk about discriminating grains, he is not much better. .

Chen Wendong found some wild vegetables and shared them among several people. Although the taste was bitter, it was better than starving.In fact, there are frogs and grass snakes nearby, so they can definitely be eaten roasted, but unfortunately there is no fire, so we can only let it go.

After eating, the whole family started on their way again. They had to arrive at Wangjiazhuang before dark, and they couldn't spend the night in the wild because of the bodies of a few people.

When we arrived at Wangjiazhuang, it was already dark, and my father knocked on the doors of more than a dozen houses, but couldn't find any vacant rooms, and they were all full of victims.In the end, under the guidance of an old woman, I found a family surnamed Li outside Hucun to live in. Although the house was a firewood house, the hay was thickly laid inside and it was not cold at all.

When Chen Wendong's family went, they were already asleep. After hearing what their father had said, they let them into the house without saying a word, and prepared hot water and some cornmeal pancakes for them.After the family had eaten, they didn't bother to wash up, so they collapsed on the haystack and fell asleep.

When Chen Wendong woke up the next day, it was already broad daylight. He washed his face first, then woke up the two little bean dings, washed them clean, and then went to see the owner of the house.

"You all come here." Seeing the three of them, Father Chen hurriedly let them enter the house to greet them.

In the main seat was an elderly couple, and beside them was a young man with a dark complexion.Chen Wendong knew what to do, and greeted each other one by one. The two little buns also followed suit, but they were not rude.The two old people were very happy, they pulled Wen Guang and Wen Ju into their arms, and kneaded them together.

Chen Wendong raised his eyes to take a look, and he already knew the current situation of this family.Looking at the furnishings in the house, it seems that the family is not rich.

After a while, a young woman came in with a bowl of wild vegetable porridge, "Father and mother, the meal is ready, let's eat now!"

The two old people nodded and asked Chen Wendong's family to sit down first. Father Chen thanked him again and again. After the two old people sat down, he led the children to sit down one by one.

Although the little woman was ordinary in appearance, she was born with a cheerful spirit, "Brother, don't be polite, we don't have anything good to entertain you at home, but you must be full." She took a few more from the kitchen Here come the cornbread.After a few more polite words, the two families began to eat sullenly.

After dinner, my father thanked the family again and again, and was about to say goodbye and leave.

Before leaving, Chen Wendong still had the cheek to say to the two old people: "Grandpa and grandma, can I ask you for something?"

"Dong'er, don't be rude!" Before Chen Wendong finished speaking, Father Chen gave him a hard look.Chen Wendong quickly lowered his head, looking timid.

"Eldest nephew, don't scare the child," Li's grandmother pulled Chen Wendong, and asked cheerfully: "Good boy, don't be afraid, tell grandma, what do you want, grandma will take it for you."

"Grandma, can you give me a set of fire tools?" Chen Wendong lowered his head and said in a low voice, "We don't have flints and scythes. I thought that we would have to sleep in the wild along the way. It doesn't matter to me, but my brothers are still young. What do you do if you catch a cold and get sick?"

"Good boy, what is this? I happen to have two sets of fire sickles here, and I'll get you some tinder."

"Auntie, this is absolutely unacceptable, this..." Father hurriedly waved his hand.

"Okay, okay, it's not a valuable thing. Besides, I still have two sets here. It's nothing, and it's hard for this kid. At this age, I know how to love my brother. How about it, I'll do it again. I will give you a pottery pot and a porcelain bowl, and bring it with you to boil water for drinking on the road, the water outside is not clean, children have weak stomachs, if they drink something wrong, it will be troublesome."

"Auntie, I..." Father Chen didn't say anything, he just looked at the old man gratefully, his voice choked up, and his eyes were red.

At this time, the grandfather of the Li family stepped forward and patted his father on the shoulder, "Young man, what is this? Man, it is inevitable that there is a horse with a high horse and a short leg. If you can help me, please." After finishing speaking , and touched Chen Wendong's head.Chen Wendong is a little embarrassing...

Before leaving, the two old men took another bag of dried sweet potatoes for them. Although it was not much, it was real food.Chen Wendong's family thanked him again and again, and then started on their way.
