Chapter 0002 Reborn in a Poor Family

  "Peerless, peerless, will you respond to your sister with a single word?"

  "Wuduan, you've been unconscious for three days. The doctor said that if you don't wake up by tomorrow morning, you won't be able to wake up again. Wuduan, you are the only hope of our Donglin Town Qin family, the pillar of father and sister's life. You must live on, for father and sister, for the sake of the family, you must live on, did you hear me? Wuduan, since childhood you've listened to your sister's words, quickly wake up, sister is begging you..."

  In a daze, Wu Xinghe vaguely seemed to hear sobbing and weeping sounds, followed by the scent of a young girl's fragrance entering his nostrils.

  His nose and mouth were filled with the fragrance, soft and fluffy, making him feel very comfortable. He realized that he seemed to be lying in a girl's arms.

  Although it was an unprecedented experience, he, whose mind had not fully cleared up yet, still struggled subconsciously for a moment. Suddenly, a severe chest pain made him struggle again.

  The girl in his arms looked down at him with a startled expression, and suddenly their eyes met. He saw a pair of eyes that were clearer than spring water and more dazzling than the stars.

  "Unparalleled?" The girl's starry eyes sparkled, radiating light, and the girl who had been crying with tears of joy suddenly leapt for joy, embracing Wu Xinghe in a tight hug.

  "Musou!?!" Wu Xinghe wondered if he was hallucinating, when did he change his name?

  This girl calls herself "sister", but with this appearance and age, what does she look like a sister?

  "Musō, you've finally woken up." The girl sobbed, "Do you know how worried your sister was about you? If you had died, your sister wouldn't have wanted to live either, Musō, do you know that?"

  "Uh, sister, I know." Wu Xinghe hadn't figured things out yet, but he could feel the thick familial affection in the girl's every move. He felt a pang in his heart and struggled to say, "Sister, can you let me go first?"

  That girl not only didn't let go, but instead hugged him even tighter. She checked him from head to toe, and finally confirmed that the person in her arms was indeed a living being. Overjoyed, she burst into tears, "Wú Shuāng, you really came back to life! I'll immediately go find Father and tell him this good news!"

  "Father?" Wu Xinghe's head almost split open. How did the father appear again? Wu Xinghe was an orphan since childhood, adopted by a mysterious old man, with no parents since young.

  Is it possible that the legendary time-space shuttle has been encountered by myself?

  Wu Xinghe sorted out the information in his mind and obtained some residual memories. Suddenly, he realized that he, Wu Xinghe, had indeed crossed over into another world, possessing the body of a young boy named Wu Tong.

  The previous owner of this hut, named Qin Wushuang, was a martial disciple from the Wu Tong Institute in Luojiang County. He died gloriously after being struck on the head with a large ladle during a duel between young nobles...

  The delicate girl who was crying in her arms was Qin Wushuang's sister, Qin Xiu. She was eighteen years old this year, six years older than Qin Wushuang.

  Still want to continue those lingering memories, the bowl-sized wound hurts unbearably.

  Sister Qin Xiu was too concerned about her brother, holding him and asking repeatedly.

  "Sister, I have a bit of a headache, I want to rest for a while..."

  Wu Xinghe had not yet recovered from the shock of being possessed and reborn, and his head was throbbing with pain. He wanted to be alone for a while, to clear his mind and sort out the tangled threads in his head.

  "Uh-huh! You rest for a while." Qin Shou nodded vigorously, wiping away tears, "I'm going to tell Father, tell him you're not dead!"

  As she spoke, she stood up and helped her brother to the bedside, serving him to lie down, carefully turning his head with the split side upwards, sleeping sideways. Then she gently pulled over the quilt to cover him, a pair of beautiful eyes full of deep concern.

  After doing all this, she stretched out her slender hand and gently stroked Wu Xinghe's cheek, lovingly entrusting him: "Wu Xinghe, you rest well for now, I'll be back soon. Don't think about anything for now, family matters can't be resolved in a day or two. If something unexpected happens to you again, Father won't survive, and neither will I."

  Wu Xinghe was moved by Qin Rou's deep concern, and couldn't bear to disappoint the sensible girl, so he nodded in agreement.

  She walked out of the door, Qin Zhuo looked at her with concern and then gently closed the door.

  His mouth and nose still had the lingering scent of his sister's body, and Wu Xinghe felt a strange sensation in his heart. Calming down, he roughly organized his thoughts and knew that he had indeed obtained Qin Wushuang's hut and was reborn in a different world dimension.

  After sorting out, the new identity is roughly as follows.

  Native place: Baiyue State - Chishan League - Nanyun Prefecture - Luojiang County - Donglin Town

  Family background: A humble origin (third-rate aristocracy, equivalent to the lowest level of noble birth)

  Main family members: Father, Sister

  Age: Twelve years old

  Political stance: Inheritor of the humble Qin family

  After understanding the situation, I also roughly understood the specific reason for the brain bursting. The situation is that Qin Wusuo was studying at the Wu Tong Institute in Luojiang County during a dispute over a matter of pride, which led to a duel between the Wu Tong students, as a result, he was hit on the head with great force, opening up a big hole, bleeding profusely, and fell to the ground dead.

  Wu Xinghe was also lucky to have obtained this physical body.

  Qin Wushuang was not the kind of young master who didn't study or learn any skills, on the contrary, he was a very hardworking and sensible young martial artist. From his hometown Donglin Town to the Martial Arts Institute in Luojiang City, in terms of diligence, he was absolutely one of the top two in the entire institute.

  Due to the struggle for interests among the nobles, he was often bullied by a group of noble children in the Wutong Academy, which eventually led to this disastrous duel.

  Wu Xinghe extracted the information left in Qin Wushuang's consciousness and analyzed it briefly. The conclusion was obvious, this was an obvious trap.

  In other words, this was not a sudden duel at all, but an organized, premeditated and highly targeted persecution.

  Although it's said that losses don't last overnight, and a gentleman doesn't let bygones be bygones, Wu Xinghe wasn't in a hurry to ponder these things. What he most wanted to do right now was to get a good night's sleep and first replenish his depleted energy.

  This head was slapped by someone, and the injury is not light. Although Wu Xinghe had cultivated both internal and external skills in his previous life, his abilities were pure and refined, but after being reborn and changing his physical body, all that remained of his cultivation was just a belly full of theories.

  He slept for a whole day and night, during which he also felt his sister Qin Xiu coming in and out of the room nearly ten times.

  Everyone tiptoed around, afraid of waking him up, yet seemingly worried that he would die like this.

  So as not to worry this lovely and respected sister, Wu Xinghe would slightly turn his body every time she came in, indicating that he was still alive.

  Qin Yu saw his brother stirring and felt a sense of relief in his heart.

  When he woke up, a bowl of steaming noodles was placed in front of him. Wu Xinghe didn't even care about the appearance, picked up the bowl and ate it like he hadn't eaten for several lifetimes, finishing it in just three or two mouthfuls.

  The mouth hadn't even closed yet, and then muttered a sentence: "Still want."

  Qin Yu saw that her brother's appetite had greatly increased, knowing that this time her brother had really come back to life, she happily went to prepare food.

  When she brought it over again, it was no longer just noodles. A large bowl of dumplings, two large bowls of rice, plus six small dishes that had just been stir-fried, and a stack of braised pork belly.

  "Go ahead and eat, sis made it for you with her own hands."

  The food was a feast for the eyes, nose and taste buds, making Wu Xinghe's fingers move with excitement. He smiled at Qin Xiao, opened his stance, and began to devour everything in sight.

  Qin Yu sat beside him, her hands propping up her chin, watching as her little brother ate the food she had made with her own hands, feeling sweet and warm inside.

  But in the end, her expression changed from happiness to astonishment and then shock.

  Wu Xinghe's eating was really too ferocious, making Qin Xiao, as his sister, temporarily unable to adapt. The food she brought over disappeared at an astonishing speed, constantly entering her brother's stomach.

  "Slow down, you're eating too fast, I'll make more for you if it's not enough," Qin Shou reminded him.

  "Mmm, delicious! Fragrant!" Wu Xinghe didn't have time to say more, a braised pork knuckle was stuffed into his mouth, and he gnawed away without any restraint.

  In less than ten minutes, all the food was completely wiped out. Wu Xinghe let out a long and comfortable sigh, feeling extremely satisfied after eating his fill.

  "Uh, sis... sister, is there anything to drink?"

  Qin Xiu smiled and said: "Being so polite with sister too, what would you like to drink?"

  "Let's go to Longjing!" Wu Xinghe said casually.

  "Longjing?" Qin's long eyelashes fluttered as she stared with wide eyes, not understanding what he meant.

  "It's just tea......" Wu Xinghe realized that this was a strange world, Longjing was the specialty of his previous life, where could he find it here?

  "Ah!" Qin Shou suddenly understood and hurriedly went to make arrangements. A moment later, he brought over a pot of tea.

  The tea tastes good, but what attracts Wu Xinghe's attention is the tea container, which is a finely crafted bottle with gold-plated and hollowed-out flower patterns, like the marks left by an earthworm crawling in the mud.

  Ancients discussing vases said, "Those with earthworm-like patterns are especially good." This thing might have been a treasured relic lying in the British Museum in its past life.

  Qin Xiu saw him fiddling with the tea set and thought that her little brother seemed to have changed a bit. In the past, her brother was a quiet and introverted child who rarely spoke, and had an extreme personality.

  Now, looking at his eyes and expression, everything inside and out exudes an inexplicable spirituality. Whether it's words or actions, they're all done with ease, losing some of the previous awkwardness and gaining a bit more casualness.

  "Sister... isn't Father at home?" Now in her mind, she had most of Qin Wushuang's memories, knowing that her father was called Qin Lianshan and her mother had already passed away.

  "Dad... Dad has something to attend to and will be out for a bit." Qin Xiu was somewhat evasive.

  "Where did he go?" Wu Xinghe felt that this matter might have something to do with him.

  "Never mind about these things, just focus on taking care of your body. The future of the Qin family still relies on you to carry it forward, you can't have any more accidents." Qin Mou comforted, but looking at her expression, she was clearly also worried about her father, she just didn't want her brother to worry.

  "Sister, be honest with me, did Father go to the county town to cause trouble for the Zhang family?"

  The Zhang family is the clan of the martial arts expert who killed Qin Wushuang, a prominent family in Luojiang City with great strength and deep background. The declining Qin family, like a humble family, has no power to contend with them.

  "No, Father just said he'd be out for a bit, but he didn't say where..." Qin Xiao said with a worried expression.

  Wu Xinghe stood up: "Sister, I'm not dead anyway. Let the servants go out and find him, bring him back."

  He also learned from Qin Wushuang's memory that his father, Qin Lianshan, was elegant on the surface but extremely competitive in his heart, and he valued his family and children more than his own life.

  He must have had some plan in mind when he disappeared this time.

  I hope nothing big happens, Qin's village is now weak and can't withstand a big storm.

  Unconsciously, Wu Xinghe found himself actively taking on the role of Qin Wushuang and even considering the fate of the humble Qin family.
