After a while, Zhang Buyi walked two more blocks and came to the place in his memory.

This is a rather old neighborhood. Both sides of the bluestone streets are lined with old wooden houses. The air is filled with a slightly decayed and turbid smell.

Obviously, even if this is not an ancient slum, it is not a high-end place.

"You're back, why are you so late today?"

At the entrance of the alley, a young man in his mid-twenties, with a resolute face and a strong body, who looked exactly like Zhang Buyi, came up to him with a worried look on his face when he saw Zhang Buyi.

The other party was wearing a shabby linen shorts, a pair of linen trousers, and a pair of tattered cloth shoes. His arms were exposed, his skin was bronze, his muscles were sharp and angular, and his tendons were quite fleshy. At first glance, he looked like a man of great strength.

It's just a little dirty. The shabby clothes were already a little dirty, but now they seem to have some dark stains stuck on them, which look like ink.

The biggest difference between him and Zhang Buyi's traditional ancient dress is his short hair like a steel needle. The whole image is very similar to those workers who ran the docks during the warlord period.

The man's name is Zhang Bucheng. He is his brother, a coolie, and seems to be a peripheral member of a gang.

Well, he is not the kind of member who collects protection fees, but more like a dock labor leader. He is the original food and clothing parent, and the two brothers depend on each other for life.

But looking at the appearance of the two people, they look more like a servant and a poor young master!

Pieces of information flashed through my mind.

As he went deeper, complex emotions such as disgust and shame for Zhang Bucheng came over, making Zhang Buyi frown slightly.

"Have you... been bullied again in school?" Zhang Bucheng came up to him. When he saw the disheveled Zhang Buyi, his expression changed and he became angry.

Zhang Bucheng's words interrupted Zhang Buyi's thinking. When he came back to his senses, he said with an indifferent expression: "It's okay!"

"Who is it? Tell me and see if I can beat him to death!" Zhang Bucheng asked with an ugly expression.

"I said it's okay!" Zhang Buyi said impatiently.

It's not that he's crazy, but the way the two of them get along is so strange. This is how Zhang Buyi treats his brother. If he shows a nice face, then something is wrong.

Seeing this, Zhang Bucheng immediately did not dare to say anything more and immediately said: "The rice may be a little cold, I will heat it up."

After saying that, he walked into the alley.

"By the way, this is today's wages!"

After saying this, he clumsily took out a few coins from his pocket and handed them to Zhang Buyi.

Zhang Buyi took the money in astonishment. When his hands touched, there was a rough feeling, which was in sharp contrast with Zhang Buyi's white and tender hands, leaving Zhang Buyi speechless for a moment.

According to his memory, Zhang Bucheng worked part-time to earn money for the original person to study, and he turned it in every day, which was kept by the original person as his younger brother.

The original person also had very complicated emotions towards the brother who raised him. He was touched, ashamed, and mostly disgusted. It can be said that the two brothers were very strange.

Of course, what caused this strange phenomenon was not Zhang Buyi's self-esteem as a scholar and his dislike of his brother.

It's because it's all his brother's fault that the two brothers ended up in this situation. Well, at least most of it is his fault.

Yuan Shen's family originally belonged to a well-off family. Her father was a doctor and had his own small pharmacy. Life in Jingle City was pretty decent.

Therefore, the two brothers were really close during their childhoods and had a great relationship. The original person was a bit timid when he was young, but Zhang Bucheng was very wild and often beat up the wild boys who bullied the original person.

However, when Zhang Bucheng was 12 years old and Zhang Bucheng was 15 years old, his father was infected while seeing a doctor, and his mother was also infected.

Fortunately, his father reacted quickly and separated the two of them.

Then within three or four days, the couple left, leaving them alone to depend on each other.

The family suddenly experienced drastic changes. Although Zhang Bucheng was already fifteen years old at that time, and it was time for an adult to consider starting a family in this era, due to his previous family background and a carefree life, he was a bit wild and not very sensible.

As a half-grown boy, faced with the sudden death of his parents, he was at a loss. Later, he got into some bad habits with the people he hung out with, and got into gambling.

There is a high probability that someone has tricked you.

Not only did the old couple lose all their savings, but they also lost the drugstore that was their source of income. If the predecessor hadn't been clever enough to scare Zhang Bucheng awake by hanging himself, he would probably have destroyed his only home.

Light.

And because of this series of events, Zhang Bucheng finally matured and took on the responsibility of life.

In addition, his father, Dr. Zhang, had treated many people in the past and had some connections. Under the care of some people who missed their old friendship, the two brothers survived.

But because of all these, the current situation has resulted. Zhang Buyi hates his brother, at least on the surface. And Zhang Bucheng is afraid of Zhang Buyi. However, the two of them depend on each other and regard each other as their only relative.

His brother Zhang Bucheng probably also understood that what happened before was because he was not a human being, and he felt sorry for his brother and lost all the family property.

So the two brothers have been getting along in such a strange way for the past five or six years.

······

While thinking, he entered the small courtyard.

The yard is very shabby, but not too bad. There are two side rooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a small yard outside.

Preliminary estimates put it at least over a hundred square meters.

To be honest, in this situation, just talking about family status, or real estate, in the previous life, it was already better than countless people. At least it was much better than Zhang Buyi's previous life. After all, he was a person who owned a house in the city.

But here...

"Eat!" While Zhang Buyi kept thinking about his memory, Zhang Bucheng had already heated up the food and brought it over.

Two coarse porcelain bowls, each with a bowl of paste, a few sweet potatoes and some pickles in it.

Zhang Buyi smelled it and realized it was porridge mixed with corn and millet.

His bowl was obviously much thicker, while the other's only had more than half of the bowl, and it was a bit thin. Zhang Buyi frowned subconsciously. What a miserable couple!

"Is the family short of food?" Zhang Buyi asked with a frown.

It is difficult to raise two and a half young men by one person. It is even more difficult to provide for them to study.

If the original person had not been able to study since he was a child, had some potential, and had fallen into the eyes of the master before his parents died, so that they could often be in debt, Zhang Buyi would not have been able to continue studying.

So the lives of the two of them were very difficult.

"I've had a new job these days. It's relatively easy and I don't have to put in much effort, so I'm not too hungry, so I cook less." Probably seeing Zhang Buyi's eyes and sensing concern, Zhang Bucheng smiled.

The smile on his resolute face was bright, a little honest and flattering, and he seemed to be happy because of Zhang Buyi's inquiry.

In poor ancient times, even if there were only two meals, if the situation was tight, the dinner would be very 'exquisite', because if you don't work at night, you will be hungry as soon as you are hungry.

Zhang Buyi glanced at the other party silently, then said nothing more and buried his head in eating.

Well, it's not very tasty, or hard to swallow.

The chestnuts may not have been processed thoroughly, as there are some bran skins, and the corns are also very coarse, resulting in a paste that is not only moist, but also rough and a bit harsh on the throat.

Even Zhang Buyi, who was born in a rural area, felt a little bad.

However, the original body's energy storage was not much, and after experiencing a "fierce battle" like that in Tianxiang Tower, I was really hungry and my chest was pressed against my back.

Therefore, Zhang Buyi silently took the pickles and drank the porridge completely.

After Zhang Buyi finished drinking the porridge, he subconsciously stood up and prepared to wash the bowl.

"Hey, let me come, you go read a book!" Zhang Bucheng said immediately.

Zhang Buyi paused for a moment, and finally said nothing. He silently put down the bowl, got up and went back to his room. He lit the oil lamp in the window and looked around the room.

His bedroom is relatively large, it is the master bedroom, about ten or twenty square meters, but it does not seem spacious.

On the left side of the house, there is a four-legged wooden bed with a small wooden table next to it. The wooden table is located under a papered wooden window, which seems to be the place where the original owner studied.

On the right side of the house, there are several boxes. Most of them contain medicine stores and some doctor-related items. They are piled together, making the room look a bit messy and crowded.

"call······"

Lying on the old wooden bed, Zhang Buyi took a long breath and began to carefully sort out the memories in his mind.

First of all, he should have indeed traveled through time, and into a world that is very similar to the humanities of his previous life.

But history is very different.

This world also has the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, as well as the Pre-Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, but there is no Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

After the Han Dynasty, there were only Dachen and Daxia.

The Chen Dynasty actually lasted for thousands of years, and was replaced by the Xia Dynasty founded by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang four to five hundred years ago. Then the Xia Dynasty lasted four hundred years and continues to this day.

The reason why a thousand-year dynasty can appear and last for so long is because this world is not ordinary and possesses extraordinary power.

As for extraordinary power, the original person probably didn't know much about it, and now that his memory is incomplete, he knows even less.

"Dong dong..."

Zhang Buyi was lying on the bed clearing his memory. There was a knock on the door outside. He stopped, stood up, opened the door, and asked with an indifferent expression: "What's the matter?"

"Take off your clothes and let me see if there are any injuries." Zhang Bucheng held a small porcelain bottle and said.

Obviously, she was afraid that he would be beaten and wanted to give him medicine.

Hearing this, Zhang Buyi looked at Zhang Bucheng who was so close, and felt a little shake in his heart. A faint medicinal smell mixed with a slightly pungent smell of ink and sweat filled the tip of his nose.

Zhang Buyi suppressed the emotions in his heart, but without any expression on his face, he said: "No need, I'm not fighting with anyone."

After saying that, Zhang Buyi closed the room with an indifferent expression.

He just came here, so it's better to maintain the original owner's settings first.

"bump······"

After a slight noise, Zhang Bucheng was left standing at the door holding a porcelain bottle. After a moment, he turned around and left silently without saying a word.

The deep love between the two of them when they were children, and their dependence on each other now, already made the only sibling so precious. Coupled with the guilt of past mistakes, it made him look a little humble.
