    The cool breeze is blowing, the night is blurred, and the veil-like mist surrounds the quiet county town.

    The hazy moonlight reflects the clear river, the river flows slowly from under the arch bridge, and there are row upon row of two or three-story black-tiled small buildings on the bank.  The water-stained walls are covered with traces of green moss, and some are covered with ivy, only revealing a row of windows facing the river.

    It was already midnight at this time, except for the sound of frogs in the river and the barking of dogs at the end of the alley, there was no sound at all, only a dim light from a narrow window at the east end, and faint voices could be heard  

    Looking in through the open window, I saw only a table, a stool, and a bed. A dark oil lamp was lit on the table, barely illuminating the distance between three feet.  On the bench was a rough porcelain bowl with a gap in it, and there were eight or nine Arhat beans in the bowl.  A man in his forties, dressed in a shabby robe and with a disheveled beard, was squatting beside him, tending the small clay stove in front of him, while talking to a teenager lying on the opposite bed.

    He spoke Mandarin with a Wu Nong accent, and said in a hoarse voice: "Chao Sheng, please persevere. After you prepare the medicine for your father, you will be cured after taking it."

    The boy on the bed sighed softly in his heart, and said to himself: ¡®Isn¡¯t this the thirtieth time?  ¡¯ But knowing that he was worrying about himself, he didn¡¯t criticize him too much.  Turning his head slightly, the boy saw that strange and friendly face, full of sweat and eagerness, and felt warm in his heart.  Knowing that he wouldn't be able to finish his work in a while, he slowly closed his eyes, thinking about the unbelievable things that happened in recent days.

    He was originally a young deputy director, at the stage of his life, but he woke up and possessed the body of this dying boy.  And when the boy's spirit was weak, he inexplicably merged with him, obtained the boy's consciousness and memory, and became the boy from five hundred years ago.

    Is it Zhuang Zhou or a butterfly?  Is it the original me or the present silence?  He is completely confused, it seems to be both, it seems to be neither, or it is already a brand new silence.

    The thing is so absurd, but it did happen, which made him unable to face it for several days, but then he thought about it, anyway, he is an unmarried orphan with no care, so where is he not looking for a living?  Besides, using the original deputy director level and changing this body that is more than ten years old, it seems that he still made a profit.

    It's just that many emotions belonging to that boy suddenly appeared, which made him a little uncomfortable.

    Survival of the fittest, so be sure to adapt.  Silence said to himself.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Once he let go of his heart and accepted the new identity, some memories belonging to that boy flooded in.  He knows that his name is Shen Mo, his baby name is Chao Sheng, and he is thirteen years old.  He was the only son of Shen He in Yongchangfang, Kuaiji County, Shaoxing Prefecture, in the Ming Dynasty.

    As for this Shen He, he was born in the offshoot of the Shen family of Shaoxing. His family background is relatively well-to-do, and he was educated in ethnology since he was a child.  At the age of eighteen, he passed the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination one after another, and became a granary student who received rice every month A granary student is a scholar, but a scholar is not necessarily a granary student, because there are only a few who pass the first-class exam  Several people can be supported by the state.

    Being able to rely on this scholar who eats the emperor's food, Shen He has earned face for his parents.

    However, the fortunes reversed and good luck made people. Shen Xianggong failed four times in a row since the first time he participated in Qiuwei at the age of nineteen.  context.  In several counties such as Yuyao, Kuaiji, and Shanyin, almost every family has children studying. It can be said that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Every year, a large number of excellent scholars apply for the exam.

    ? Quota is limited and competition is brutal.  People like Shen Xianggong have won the exams elsewhere, but in Shaoxing, they can only become a foil for others year after year.  Later, his parents passed away one after another, and he continued to keep his filial piety for five years. When he came out to take the exam again, he was already in his thirties, and the best age for taking the exam had passed

    But Shen Xiucai has been studying all his life, so what can he do if he doesn't take the exam?  Unwilling to fail, he took the exam twice more, and the result was self-evident He didn't even talk about the good times, and even wiped out his rather well-to-do family.  Eating bran swallowed vegetables, you can't see any meaty smell.

    Last summer, Shen Xiucai's daughter-in-law suffered from heatstroke, and her frail body suddenly collapsed.  In order to see a doctor for his wife, he even mortgaged the three-storied house he originally lived in.  As a result, he was bullied into being in a hurry and forced a house worth a hundred taels down to forty taels. Shen Xiucai was very bookish and disdainful of borrowing money from relatives and friends, so he really gritted his teeth and sold the property and rented a house in a remote alley.  A cheap small building, where the wife and children are accommodated, and the daughter-in-law is extended for medical treatment.

    ?As a result, the money was spent like water, but the sickness of Shen Mo's mother became more and more serious.Bedridden, he finally passed away a few years ago.  Shen He buried his wife with the remaining money, but found that he couldn't even rent the cheapest small building, so the father and father had to 'live together in a hut'.

    Of course, this is Shen Xianggong's elegant statement. In fact, he built a thatched cottage with bamboo and wood as the roof frame and covered with grass thatch.  Although it is narrow and damp, there is finally a nest, right?

    At this time, the only source of income for the family was the granary rice distributed by the county school, six buckets per month.  It is said that if you save a little, you can barely make do, but "half a child, I will starve to death", Mo Mo is growing up, and eats more than his father, how can this little round-grained rice be enough?  Shen Xiucai had to go to the grain shop to exchange for the worst indica rice, so that he could get Jiu Dou.  Shen Mo then went to the countryside to dig some wild vegetables and catch some loaches, so that he could just deal with the meals for the two of them.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly, and it¡¯s true. A few days ago, Shen Mo went to dig wild vegetables on the mountain, but was bitten by a frightened poisonous snake on his calf.  Or die.

    Silence doesn't know what happened later.  When he woke up Yoyo, he found that he was already in an attic.  Although the purlin roof is full of spider webs, there is still a decaying and sour smell in the air, but it is much stronger than the airy, dark and damp thatched shed.

    He was staring at a spider struggling to weave its silk, and listened silently Father said: "Okay, okay, Chaosheng has taken the medicine." He was helped up.  Leaning his upper body on the pillow, he looked at the man he would call his father from now on. He saw that his beard and hair were disheveled, his face was pale, there were wrinkles around his eyes, the corners of his mouth seemed to be bruised, and there were some fresh scars on his cheekbones.  The robe on his body was also dirty and torn, as if he had fought with someone and lost as expected.

    Seeing Shen Mo opened his eyes to look at himself, Shen He's eyes were full of excitement and joy, and he said excitedly: "Thank you, Miss Yin, for a good life, if she didn't save her, we will be separated forever" Said  Then the eye circles turned red, and tears fell down.

    Seeing him cry, the tip of Silence's nose was a little sore, and he wanted to speak to comfort him, but his throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't speak a word.

    Noticing the change in his expression, Shen He quickly wiped away his tears and said, "What's the matter, are you not feeling well?" Seeing Mo Mo looking at the medicine bowl, Shen He said embarrassedly: "Almost forgot." He picked up the bowl  , scooped up a spoonful of brown decoction, blew on his mouth a few times, and then carefully placed it near his mouth.

    Mo Mo frowned and took a sip, but it was not as bitter as expected, but rather bittersweet.  Seeing his brows eased, Shen He said happily: "You didn't like taking medicine since you were a child, I bought some apricot nectar and mixed it in, the doctor said it would help you recover." He then waited for him to drink a bowl of medicine.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Wiping Shen Mo's mouth with a towel, and then laying him down again, Shen He breathed a long sigh of accomplishment, as if he had finished a major event.  Then he straightened up, put the empty medicine bowl and the broken bowl on the table, sat down on the stool, bent down tiredly, and took a heavy breath.

    Silence saw that he filled a bowl of boiling water, picked up three blue-yellow broad beans from the broken bowl, hesitated for a moment, then shook his hand, and dropped two of them back into the bowl, leaving only one in his hand.

    Looking at that bean for a long time, Shen He closed his eyes, slowly put it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly, his movements were extremely gentle, as if he was having an endless aftertaste, and he couldn't extricate himself for a long time.

    After a long time, Shen He slowly opened his eyes, shook his head slightly, and wrote a poem: "Cao E brought sprouted green beans, and Qianyu Tongxing made good soy sauce; Dongguan invited you to cook your hands, so that your mouth is soft and soft."

    Silent and ashamed, he never knew that eating a bean would cause such a great sense of happiness.

    Seeing his disapproving expression, Shen He took a sip of water and said, "Chao Sheng, you haven't tasted it, this

    The bean meat is cooked but not rotten, soft but not rotten. It is full of body fluid when chewed. It is rich in spices, salty and fresh, with a slightly sweet aftertaste If it can be served with rice wine, I am afraid that even the father-in-law of the land will come to taste it.  "

    'Hasn't the Lord of the Land eaten something good?  Mo Mo rolled his eyes, but Shen He thought he was complaining about his eating alone, and quickly explained: "It's not because my father doesn't share with you, but the doctor told you that you can't eat cold, hot, sour and hard things. Let's talk about it after you recover."  .¡±

    Nodding weakly in silence, seeing that Shen He ate two more at the same speed, he wiped his regular script on the rag with his finger, drank the whole bowl of water, and said with a satisfied face: "We've had dinner, my father and I  Time to sleep."

    Silent eyes widened, and Shen He said solemnly: "The sage said: 'There are only three things', the first time eating is called tasting, the second time is called enjoying, the third time is called satisfying hunger, and eating more is gluttonous waste.  .¡± He winked at him and said with a smile, ¡°Go to sleep.¡± Then he blew out the oil lamp and fell asleep on the table.
