"Son, I'm sorry. I didn't have the ability to raise you.”
"Father, I understand you. I don't blame you. I can eat too much. You're doing this for my own good.”
In front of the Red Mansion in Sand City, a middle-aged man who looked like a farmer was holding the hand of a boy who looked to be in his teens. He was very reluctant to part with him.
This little boy was called Zhou Tong. He was a transmigrator. Before he transmigrated, he was watching the popular new drama, Ultimate Grave Robber. He was discussing with his fickle netizens when he would take the second step.
His eyes went black and he fainted. When he woke up again, he had already arrived in this era where human lives were worth less than dogs.
As a transmigrator, a cheat was essential. He had just woken up when he heard the voice in his mind.
"Ding! The host has met the requirements. The Life-Saving Upgrade System has been activated.”
"Ding ~ Host has the Taotie Bloodline.”
"Ding! The host's Taotie bloodline has been activated. The host has received a Taotie tattoo.”
"Ding ~ The Life-Saving Upgrade System has been activated. The reward is the Six Treasury Immortal Thief of the Eight Wondrous Skills.”
When Zhou Tong heard the voice in his mind, his first reaction was that someone was playing a prank on him.
However, he realized that his hand had become smaller, like the hand of a seven or eight-year-old child.
"F * ck, could there really be a cheat? Where is this place?"
"Why is it so broken? Aiyo, my head hurts.”
Just as Zhou Tong was feeling puzzled, his head felt as if it had been pricked by a needle, incomparably painful. As he felt the pain, his memories surged like a tidal wave.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Tong was panting heavily, as if he had just been fished out of water, soaked in sweat.
"Looks like he really transmigrated. He didn't wake up even after being in so much pain.”
Zhou Tong had just received all the memories of his original body and had a rough understanding of this world.
The person he had transmigrated to replace was also called Zhou Tong, the same name as in his previous life. There were five children in the family, and he was the youngest.
His eldest brother, Zhou Xian, had been captured to be a able-bodied man to fight in the army. His whereabouts were still unknown, and it was likely that he was already dead.
His second brother, Zhou Ming, had studied with a private school teacher for a period of time when he was young. He was not very well-educated, but he could still teach and read. On his way to Sand City, he was robbed by bandits and died.
Although the third sister, Zhou Xiu, was the daughter of a farmer, she was born bright and beautiful. She was chosen by a landlord and became his eighth aunt.
But now, it was a chaotic time, and the land was in chaos. In the end, the landlord's family was robbed of all their food in the name of collecting military expenses. In order to prevent the news from leaking, the landlord's entire family was killed.
Zhou Shun, the fourth brother, went to Sand City to make a living because his second brother was teaching in Sand City. By chance, he joined the Second Master of the Nine Gates of Sand City.
Everyone knew what the Nine Gates of Sand City did. A year ago, they used their lives to save the second young master.
After receiving the news, his father Zhou Cheng's hair turned white overnight. He had five children in total, four of whom had died an unnatural death, and he himself was seriously ill.
In a year's time, in order to treat his illness, he had spent all of the family's savings. In addition, Zhou Tong had been a glutton since he was young, far exceeding his peers. This made the Zhou family's situation even worse.
It turned out that Zhou Tong had starved to death because he had not eaten for a long time, which was why he had been reborn through a shell.
"What a tragic family. Don't worry, since I'm here, we won't starve in the future.”
Zhou Tong muttered to himself. As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have relaxed quite a bit, as if he had been relieved of some heavy burden.
Based on the memories in his mind, Zhou Tong roughly guessed that he had probably transmigrated to the world of the Old Nine Gates, probably in the year 1930.
As a tomb raider (fake) who came to this world, it could be said that he was very happy. Ancient Tongjing, Seven Star Lu Palace, Xisha Seabed, Cloud Dingtian Palace, Bronze Tree, these things always looked a little fake in movies and television works.
Since he had come to this world, he had made up his mind to see the real tomb, the real dumplings, and the real turbid nine yin.
His father, Zhou Cheng, had probably heard his voice and pushed open the door to hug Zhou Tong. The tough man was now crying like a child.
"Son, I'm sorry. I'm not capable enough to make you faint from hunger. Cough cough.”
Zhou Cheng cried and cried. He did not know if it was because of his body or because he was too emotional, but he actually coughed up blood.
Zhou Cheng could see Zhou Tong's worry, and with a relaxed expression, he wiped the blood off his mouth. He grinned as he pulled out a roasted sweet potato from behind him, his front teeth already stained with blood.
"Come, take a look. See what good things Dad brought back for you. Sweet potatoes, eat!”
Zhou Tong watched as this father living in his memories overlapped with his father in reality, and tears began to fall from his eyes. This was because Zhou Tong had been an abandoned baby in his previous life.
Having lived in an orphanage since he was young, he had experienced the cold and warmth of the world early on. He longed for love and concern, but he knew that those things were too extravagant for him.
Seeing this scene combine with the figure in his memories, Zhou Tong finally shed tears. Because he had not eaten for too long, Zhou Tong was currently incomparably weak. He lowered his head and used his shoulder to wipe away his tears, revealing a smile as he said to his father,
"Dad, this sweet potato is too big. I can't eat it. Let's eat it together!”
"Father has eaten. You eat first. If you can't eat, you can wait for the next meal.”
Zhou Cheng tore apart the sweet potatoes, tearing them into strips and placing them in Zhou Tong's mouth. An incomparably sweet fragrance filled Zhou Tong's mouth. After taking two bites, he finally recovered some strength.
He took the sweet potatoes from his father's hands and imitated his father's actions. He tore apart the sweet potatoes one by one and sent them to his father's mouth, indicating that he should try them too.
"Dad, even if you're not hungry, you should try it. It's very sweet.”
Zhou Cheng looked at the dirty little hand holding the steaming sweet potato and bringing it to his mouth, then at Zhou Tong's innocent smile. He could no longer hold it in and pulled Zhou Tong into his embrace.
Zhou Tong, who was being held in his arms, felt this old man, who was already over fifty years old, with white hair and a bent back, also embrace him.
A dilapidated house, an oil lamp that was about to go out, and a father and son snuggling together. The scene froze.
