Chapter 1 Throwing into the River

The scorching sun was just setting at noon, and on the dirt road adjacent to Beigou Village in Yueya Village, a faded and old red wedding sedan was carried by two bearers, swaying forward.

　　Ye Annian was sitting in the sedan chair, wearing an old-fashioned dark red wedding dress. He raised his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose, and his face turned pale from the heat.

　　Next to his legs, curled up was a child, four or five years old, wearing a blue cloth, holding his knees with his little hands, looking up at him with a worried look on his face.

　　"Brother, please... just hold on a little longer and we'll be there soon."

　　The child's voice was low and soft, and his face was ugly.

　　Ye Annian leaned weakly in the sedan chair, feeling stuffy in his chest and itchy in his throat.

　　He wanted to open his mouth to comfort the child, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but cough violently.

　　"Cough...cough cough cough cough!"

　　"Fu Zai, cough cough! Brother...Brother cough cough cough..."

　　He clutched his chest tightly, coughing so hard that he could hardly breathe, and could not utter a complete sentence.

　　Fuzai saw that his face turned blue and his whole body was shaking when he coughed. He was so frightened that he stood up unsteadily, lay down at the small window of the sedan and shouted to people outside.

　　"Stop the sedan!"

　　"Stop the sedan quickly!"

　　The two bearers outside ignored them, but Xipo, who was accompanying him, took two steps to catch up.

　　The Xi Po had a shy red face and glanced at him impatiently from the small window: "Shout, shout, shout, what are you shouting for?!"

　　"It looks like we're still a few steps away. Is there anything we can't talk about until now?!"

　　"Grandma Sun, please stop the sedan." Fu Zai held the window tightly with his little hands and begged her in a tearful voice, "Brother is coughing badly, I... I'm scared..."

　　"What are you afraid of?" Mrs. Sun rolled her eyes at him, "Brother Nian's cough doesn't last a day or two. No one can die after just a few steps!"

　　She wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, feeling annoyed and restless.

　　It was noon, and the sun was very poisonous.

　　It was almost time to arrive. When the person was delivered, she took the money and the work was done. Who wanted to accompany the sick rice plant to dry under the poisonous sun?

　　"Grandma Sun..."

　　Fu Zai listened to his brother's violent coughing in the sedan, and tears fell down.

　　Ye Anyian in the sedan was holding his throat tightly with one hand, and weakly raised his other hand to pull Fu Zai's clothes.

　　"Fu Zai..." He shook his head feebly.

　　Fu Zai turned his head and saw his pale lips and a trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, and cried "Wow".

　　"It's so annoying!" Mrs. Sun waved her hand, closed the curtain of the small window, and ignored him.

　　He turned around and shouted to the two bearers: "Hurry up! It sounds like I'm coughing badly. When we get to the Wang family, as long as we still have breath, we won't be blamed."

　　After hearing this, the two bearers were sweating profusely from the heat, but they did not dare to slow down their steps. If they had not lost strength after walking for a long time, they would have wanted to run away.

　　The shabby sedan swayed even more violently. Ye Anian's face turned pale due to coughing. He felt dizzy and nauseous after being shaken like this.

　　He bit his lip tightly, trying to hold back the acid rising in his throat.

　　But at this moment, the sedan swayed violently, and his head hit the beam next to him hard.

　　A sharp pain shot through his head, and Ye Anfu's frightened cries were heard in his ears.

　　In a daze, he felt the sedan stop, and the sounds of noise, crying, and fighting reached his ears.

Finally, he rolled his eyes and passed out in the chaos.

　　…

　　Ye Anyian was dreaming.

　　He dreamed about his past life again, the day he died.

It turns out that in modern times, he is the youngest son of Ye Sheng, the president of　　Beicheng Ye Group .

　　His biological mother died of illness when he was six years old, and his father Ye Sheng took the mistress and illegitimate son who had been raised outside home the next year.

　　The funny thing is that his illegitimate brother is one year older than him.

　　That day was his twentieth birthday. Ye Sheng, who had always been critical of him, actually held a birthday party for him at a five-star hotel in Bei City for the first time. He also said that he would introduce the company's shareholders and senior management of the cooperative company to him. know.

　　He thought that the cheap dad finally found his conscience and wanted to make up for the debt he had owed to him for so many years.

　　I came with high hopes, but my stepmother tricked me into going to the top floor terrace.

　　The vicious woman took advantage of his unpreparedness and pushed him down hard.

　　The moment he fell downstairs, he saw his stepmother smile at him for the first time in so many years.

　　"Annian, don't blame Auntie for being cruel. Unless you die, Brother Sheng will not let Ancheng inherit the family business. Anyway, you are not in good health and you don't have a few more years to live. You go as soon as possible. Auntie asked your father to take good care of himself. I'll take care of your funeral arrangements."

　　Ye Ancheng, his half-brother, is an upper-class bastard who has no education and skills and spends money like water.

　　His stepmother's words were like a poisonous arrow piercing his heart, and he suddenly understood.

　　This so-called birthday party was nothing more than a Hongmen banquet for him to give way to Ye Ancheng.

　　His scumbag father may not be unaware of his stepmother's intentions.

　　His body fell rapidly, and the wind roared in his ears, but he didn't feel afraid at all.

　　Whatever, he's tired.

　　After his mother left, the Ye family was no longer his home.

　　And this world has long been no longer worthy of his nostalgia...

　　The pain of falling did not come for a long time. Instead, his chest felt tight, and the strong sense of suffocation made him breathless.

　　"Cough...cough!"

　　Ye Annian woke up from coughing and saw the furry head of his younger brother Fuzai.

　　The child's face was red from the sun, and he lay weakly on him, his eyes were tightly closed, and his breathing was weak.

　　Taking a deep breath, he felt that he had relaxed a little, so he slowly moved Fu Zai off of him, and then he sat up from the ground with force.

　　But just such a simple action made him gasp for breath and break out into a sweat.

　　The surroundings were quiet. Granny Sun and the two bearers had long since disappeared, leaving only the old wedding sedan abandoned on the road.

　　After resting for a while, he forced himself to stand up, half dragging and half hugging Fu Zai to a big tree on the side of the road. He also sat down under the tree, and then he coughed violently uncontrollably.

　　After all this tossing, his face became redder and redder due to the cough, and his chest was aching, and he almost fainted again.

　　When he finally felt better, he exhaled carefully, leaned against the tree trunk, and stared at the scorching sun hanging in the sky in a daze.

　　He has actually been here for half a year.

　　After being pushed downstairs by his stepmother that day, he did not die. Instead, he came to this strange ancient world and became the third brother of Lao Ye's family in Yueya Village, Dongling State.

　　The original owner had the same name as him, also named Ye Anyian, and his circumstances were exactly the same as his.

　　Exactly the same - miserable.

　　The original owner's father, Ye Chenghe, was the third eldest son of Ye's family. His wife gave birth to two brothers and died of illness, leaving the frail and sick original owner and a four-year-old younger brother, Ye Anfu.

The old Ye family has always been patriarchal. Old man Ye and his wife Wu Xianglian gave birth to three sons in a row, Ye Chenghai, Ye Chengjiang, and Ye Chenghe. Because of this, the family in Yueya Village is very upright.

　　The eldest son, Ye Chenghai, gave birth to a son, Ye Ansong, who is eighteen years old and has just passed the exam.

　　The second wife, Ye Chengjiang, has a son and a daughter. The daughter, Ye Xiaomei, is also eighteen this year, one year older than the original owner. The son, Ye Anbai, is seven years old, at the age when people dislike dogs.

　　There are only three of them, and two of them are brothers.

　　Mr. Ye and his wife didn't want to see the original owner and his younger brother, and they even disliked Ye Chenghe.

　　Ye Chenghe lived in a miserable state. Less than a year after his wife's death, he had already considered marrying another woman. He was the one who forced the original owner to death.

　　The Ye family has not been separated yet, and Ye Chenghe is lazy and has spent all the little savings he had gained from doing odd jobs.

　　He had no money of his own, and it was impossible for the two elders of the Ye family to provide him with money from the public to get him a wife, so he thought of a way to marry the original owner to the family of Butcher Wang in the next village.

　　The youngest son of Butcher Wang, Wang Hu, is in his twenties this year. Because he has been idle all day long and has no knowledge and skills, he has not been able to find a wife even at this age.

　　Butcher Wang gave him a betrothal gift of ten taels of silver for his marriage. As soon as this news came out, Ye Chenghe was moved. He immediately went to the Wang family, took half of the silver, and settled the marriage.

　　When he came back to talk to the original owner, the original owner, who had always been docile and obedient, rebelled against him for the first time. The original owner refused, and Ye Chenghe became angry and beat him severely with a stick.

　　Fu Zai ran to protect him and his legs were broken, but the original owner was hit on the head with a stick by Ye Chenghe and died.

　　And he just wore it.

　　The wedding date with the Wang family was originally scheduled for one month later, but he was weak and had a cough. After this quarrel, Ye Chenghe broke his head, so the wedding had to be postponed.

　　He was raised in the Ye family like this. They said he was being raised, but in fact it was just that the Wang family heard about it and was afraid that he would be seriously injured and die one day, so they delayed it again and again.

　　Finally, after two days, the injury on his head was completely healed, and then he had to get started with the wedding.

　　After withdrawing his thoughts, Ye Annian lowered his eyes and glanced at Fu Zai, who was sleeping next to him, with a flash of guilt in his heart.

　　He forced himself to stand up and went back to the old sedan chair under the sun to pick up the baggage he had brought from the Ye family.

　　There were two sets of his clothes, as well as thirty copper coins that he had secretly saved, which he wanted to keep with Fu Zai.

But the sedan was empty, and his baggage was not in it at all.

　　After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly laughed bitterly.

　　Then Mrs. Sun is only interested in profit, how could she not pack up something and leave.

　　Returning to the shade of the tree, Fu Zai hadn't woken up yet. Ye Annian looked at the child, who was only four years old, feeling depressed and uncomfortable in his heart. However, he was already too overwhelmed to take care of himself and could not take care of another child.

　　Taking one last look at Fu Zai, who was sleeping peacefully under the shade of a tree, his face gradually recovering, Ye Annian walked deep into the woods on the roadside without looking back.

　　He had walked this road to Beigou Village next door twice and knew that there was a river deep in the woods on the roadside. When it rained in summer, the water in the river would rise very high.

　　He staggered deeper into the woods and soon saw the river. The water was clear, with ripples on the water blown by the breeze. It was surrounded by green trees, making it look peaceful and beautiful.

　　Ye Annian took a deep breath and felt that the pain in his chest had improved a lot.

　　He walked to the river step by step, his face as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and jumped in without any hesitation.

　　The mirror-like river surface instantly splashed with water, and the ripples expanded in circles, and the old red wedding dress was gradually swallowed up in the water.

　　Suddenly, a child's hoarse cry was heard in the forest, and Fu Zai limped from the woods.

　　He ran to the river, but he only had time to catch a glimpse of a piece of red clothes floating on the river, and burst into tears.

　　"elder brother!"
