Chapter 2: Chapter 2
Where is this? Wasn't I already blown to pieces?
When Shen Lang opened his eyes again, he was already in a completely unfamiliar environment.
He was lying on a large, soft, carved bed, surrounded by all the splendor of the world.
There was an exquisitely carved mahogany table, an exquisite silver candlestick, and a soft woolen carpet. These details all showed that this was a rich family.
Most importantly, everything in this room was antique, without a trace of modern Earth's home style.
He looked down at the clothes he was wearing. They were made of fine silk, but the style did not belong to modern Earth. It was more like the ancient costumes in television dramas.
There was a large mirror beside the bed. It was not very clear, but it should be a bronze mirror.
Shen Lang tried to get up and mustered all his courage to look at the mirror.
This was not his fault. Ever since his face was disfigured, every time he looked into the mirror, it was like he was having a nightmare, and he would be scared.
Seeing the face in the mirror, Shen Lang was shocked at first, and then tears streamed down his face.
Although this face was haggard and pale, it was incomparably handsome. It was even 80% to 90% similar to Shen Lang before his face was disfigured.
Shen Lang was sure of one thing.
He had transmigrated. His soul had transmigrated to this strange world, and he had transmigrated to this strange yet familiar man.
It had been a long time, a handsome and handsome face.
Shen Lang almost greedily looked at the face in the mirror.
The heavens had actually given him a new life. They had actually restored his handsome face, even in a completely unfamiliar world.
This was great. Anyway, after his parents passed away, he no longer had any attachment to modern Earth.
It felt great to be able to obtain a new life!
Moreover, as soon as he transmigrated, half of Shen Lang's wish had been fulfilled. He had restored his handsome face!
Even if this body was a little weak and sickly.
The remaining half of his wish was to be able to stretch his hands out of his clothes, open his mouth to eat, and lie down with women.
At this moment, a complicated mass of information flowed into his mind. This was the memory of the original owner of this body.
…
This was a familiar yet strange world.
It was familiar because this place was very similar to ancient China. There was also a similar culture, the same language, and similar people.
It was unfamiliar because this was not Earth. The map was different.
This world had the Four Books and Five Classics, the works of ancient Chinese sages, and the foundations of Chinese civilization.
However, China did not have a single dynasty. There was no Qin Dynasty, no Han Dynasty, no Jin Dynasty and so on …
This was very strange. The territory was different, and the dynasties were different, but they had the same cultural origins.
Shen Lang searched through his memories. In the history of this world, there had been a Great Nirvana Annihilation. After the rebirth of civilization, these books were excavated neatly and became the great key to the revival of this world's civilization.
Therefore, books like the Four Books and Five Classics had an even higher status in this world.
Not only that, but this world also had martial arts, and individual martial arts were far more developed than in ancient China.
Currently, the dynasty that Shen Lang resided in was known as the Great Yan Empire.
This was a huge empire, with a territory of more than 14 million square kilometers. It was more than any dynasty in ancient China, including the Yuan Dynasty.
This dynasty was also different from ancient China. Other than the Central Empire, it was surrounded by many vassal states.
They were vassal states, not vassal states. It was similar to the relationship between the Zhou Emperor and the vassal states. However, this Central Empire was much more powerful than the Zhou Emperor. These vassal states all worshipped the Yan Emperor as the True Dragon Son of Heaven.
In terms of civilization, the Great Yan Empire far surpassed China's Spring and Autumn Warring States, and was roughly similar to the Tang and Song Dynasties.
…
The country that Shen Lang resided in was a large vassal state in the south, the State of Yue!
The State of Yue had three provinces, 45 counties, and an area of more than 390,000 square kilometers. It had a population of more than 10 million people. It had developed commerce, sharp customs, and flourishing martial arts.
The Ning clan had ruled the State of Yue for more than 400 years.
The place that Shen Lang resided in was the State of Yue's Tiannan Province, Nujiang County, Xuanwu City.
The name of the original owner of this body was also Shen Lang.
More importantly, the two of them looked 70 to 80 percent similar. This did not seem like a coincidence. As for what kind of complicated reason it was, it was completely unknown at the moment.
However, after reading the memories of this body, he felt that this alternate world's Shen Lang was a complete tragedy from beginning to end.
…
Shen Lang was born in Maple Leaf Village, Cold Water Town, Xuanwu City.
His family was an outsider, and they only came to Maple Leaf Village when Shen Lang was two years old.
His parents were the most ordinary farmers. The entire Nujiang County was full of mountains and rivers, and there was little farmland. Shen Lang's family of four only had two acres of farmland and two acres of mountainous terrain. His parents were very diligent, but their annual income was barely enough to feed him.
Even though he was born in a farmer's family, and he was not the only son in the family, his parents doted on him since he was young. They could not bear to scold him, and could not bear to let him work. Even though his family was extremely poor, his parents still sent him to school, so in a sense, he could still be considered a scholar.
However, his studies were quite poor. After studying for ten years, he could not recognize more than a thousand words.
It was not because he was lazy, but because he was very diligent. His poor grades were because his IQ was too low. He was probably like Forrest Gump in Forrest Gump. His speech was slow, his expression was dull, and his reaction was slow.
Apart from his handsome face, he was almost useless. Within a radius of a few hundred miles, he was synonymous with trash.
His younger brother, Shen Jian, was a poor man. After practicing martial arts for a few years, he had become a complete ruffian. Of course, being a ruffian could also make a fortune, but his younger brother could not be a bad person. He just fooled around outside every day. Even among the ruffians, he was at the level of cannon fodder.
His parents gradually grew older, and the family's situation worsened. They were so poor that they could not even feed themselves.
This year, he was 18 years old. He had been studying in the town school for nine years, but his knowledge was still very poor. Some of his classmates who went to school with him had even passed the examination, but he was still in the primary class. Every day, he went to class with a group of ten year old children.
This was equivalent to others going to college, but he had not even graduated from primary school.
This was completely the shame of the school in Cold Water Town. Even if his parents and younger brother worked hard to earn money outside to pay for his tuition, the teachers in the town school were not willing to teach him. Because he was too stupid, and rotten wood could not be carved.
So, he was driven out.
Now he was an adult, and he could be regarded as a laborer. If he went back home to do farming, he could still survive. But since he was a child, his parents spoiled him too much. He could not carry a load on his shoulders, and he was almost powerless. He did not even know how to chop firewood, let alone do farm work.
So, after returning home, he took a wooden stick to write and draw on the muddy ground outside the door every day. Every day, he ate free food at home.
His parents did not dislike him. They still cared about him. Although his younger brother was a ruffian, he also treated him very well. Every day, he came back with a bloody nose and a swollen face to earn a few copper coins. He did not complain about raising his useless brother.
When these memories surfaced, Shen Lang felt a wave of warmth wash over him.
The owner of this body did not have a good IQ, so he did not understand many things.
Because white rice was expensive and corn was cheap, the family sold the rice in exchange for corn after harvesting, leaving only white rice for him to eat.
When he was a child, Shen Lang ate white rice every day. His parents and younger brother could only eat corn porridge. His father occasionally hunted a hare in the mountain and sold it in the market. But every time, he would leave a rabbit leg for Shen Lang to eat alone. His younger brother, Shen Jian, was drooling while eating the corn rice in his bowl.
His parents were really biased. They loved Shen Lang, the imbecile, as a treasure. His younger brother, Shen Jian, was like a weed.
Since he was a child, Shen Lang was often bullied because of his low IQ. His younger brother, Shen Jian, had fought with others several times to protect him.
It was really happy and warm.
So, his memory was very good until now. Even if his family was extremely poor, he was really happy.
However, since Shen Lang was so poor, why did he live in such a luxurious room at this time?
Because he married a super rich wife. To be exact, he married into a rich family.
