Chapter 3 The Emperor and the Name of the Kingdom

The girl in the ruqun was a little panicked: "You don't know who I am? I am Ning Sanmei who serves you! My family is your tenant. My family rented and planted the five acres of land in your family. You are in our village. They fought to carry water, and you came to persuade you to fight, but they accidentally hurt you. - Have you remembered it?"

Zhuang Hui was even more confused. When did he persuade others to fight? The girl kept calling her husband. Could it be that she had already... possessed her soul and resurrected herself into another person?

When Zhuang Hui thought of this word, he was even more frightened and struggled to get up, but Ning Sanmei immediately pressed him down: "Sir, don't move, the wound on the back of your head is still bleeding. Wait until Doctor Gong shows you again!"

"Mirror! Who has a mirror?"

Although Ning Sanmei was petite and very strong, Zhuang Hui still couldn't get up while struggling, but he was anxious to know if he had really resurrected his soul by borrowing a corpse. He started shouting desperately.

"Mirror?" Ning Sanmei was stunned for a moment, "Who is holding the mirror in her body? It's big and heavy."

Zhuang Hui saw a few buckets of water placed on the ground outside the crowd through the gap of the crowd, and immediately shouted: "Water! I want to drink water..."

"Hurry! Scoop a ticket of water and bring it!" A young woman standing at Zhuang Hui's feet said to the man beside her: "Dad Lancao, go quickly!"

A short and sturdy young man stood beside him quickly agreed, turned around and squeezed out of the crowd, quickly walked to several buckets, and a gourd scoop of water from the outside bucket was sent to him. Ning Sanmei was busy helping him up and let him lean in his arms. He helped him take a scoop of water and deliver it to him.

Zhuang Hui didn't drink it. He lowered his head and looked at the half of the water in the scoop. The water was light yellow, with some whiskers and sand at the bottom, which was relatively turbid, but it was enough for him to see his general appearance. - This was a pretty face, with a little childishness, and he was only in his early twenties. - This face was definitely not his original face!

He looked left and right, and the figure in the water also looked sideways. It proved that the face really belonged to him. However, it was a completely unfamiliar face.

His eyes slowly moved away from the water scoop and landed on his arm. He raised his hand and pushed the water scoop in front of him, and then saw his body and lower limbs.

I was wearing a robe, a patched but clean-washed green robe. Such a robe can only be seen in costume movies and TV dramas.

Zhuang Hui looked up again and looked around. The scalp was burning and his head was dizzy. He asked bitterly: "What year is it now?"

Morrie was very puzzled and said, "The first year of Zhonghe, September 23rd! - Sir, what's wrong with you? Why can't you even remember the days?"

Zhonghe? Which emperor's reign title is this? He searched the side of his head and had no impression at all. There were too many reign titles of ancient emperors, and there were not many that could be remembered except for famous reign titles such as Zhenguan and Kangxi.

"What is the country name?"

Morrie's face became even more worried: "National name...? This, alas, I can't figure it out now. It should be 'Da Qi', sir, these are all given to the students, why don't you know it?"

Ning Sanmei beside Zhuang Hui quickly said, "Uncle Feng, you can't say that. The sir was hit by the hoe on his head, which was a little confused, so he was confused for a moment and would get better soon!"

"Who is the emperor?" Zhuang Hui asked again. The country name was "Daqi". He could not find the country name in his not rich historical knowledge. He didn't know which dynasty it belonged to, so he asked the emperor again.

"Emperor? I don't know what the emperor is. Moreover, I can't figure out who the emperor is now, it's a mess..."

Dagui, who was standing beside him, saw him asking stupidly, seemed to be not dead, and was very happy, so he smiled and rushed to answer, "Sir, you are the most knowledgeable person in our village. You don't know what the emperor's name is, how can we know it?"

The villagers watching all laughed loudly.

Zhuang Hui was stunned. He resurrected himself by corpse and became an ancient man of unknown dynasty. He was shocked by this fact, and he didn't know whether it was because of this or because the person he possessed was too seriously injured. He was a little dizzy and closed his eyes.

At this moment, the onlookers outside shouted: "Dr. Gong is here, get out of here! Get out of here!"

The crowd dispersed, and an old man walked in. It was the only village doctor in the village, Langzhong Gong. He was carrying a medicine box on his shoulder and squatted beside Zhuang Hui: "Where are you hurt?"

Ning Sanmei quickly replied: "Back of the head! A hoe hit the back of the head! I don't know which Killing Qiandao hit him. Uncle Mo, you must find out which thief hit the gentleman!" After that, Ning Sanmei swept everyone with anger. The onlookers couldn't help but take two steps back, especially those who participated in the fight just now.

Mori looked at everyone with a serious face: "As the main person in the village, I almost committed a murder in the village. This matter must not be finished. I will definitely find out the truth. Who injured Mr. Gu and must be sent to the yamen for severe punishment! - No one who was present was allowed to leave. Let Doctor Gong treat his husband first, and I will investigate after he finishes!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Doctor Gong asked Zhuang Hui: "Sir, what do you think?"

"It's okay!" Zhuang Hui didn't say much, he had not recovered from his shock.

Doctor Gong held Zhuang Hui's head and looked at the back of his head. He couldn't help but take a breath because he found that the occipital bone on Zhuang Hui's back of his head had broken! Such a serious injury would be killed immediately. Even if he didn't die immediately, he would at least not be able to speak in a hurry. Why can Zhuang Hui still open his eyes and watch himself talking to him clearly?

Doctor Gong asked Zhuang Hui again and said, "Sir, don't you feel headaches or nausea?"

Zhuang Hui shook his head blankly, then nodded again, and this time he did not speak again.

Gong Langzhong said: "I'll give him medicine. You should send someone to find a door panel and carry him back and rest in bed. You must not get out of bed, and do not move!"

After saying that, Doctor Gong took out the scissors and reduced all the hair near the wound on the back of his head. Then he took out a porcelain bottle from the medicine box, poured some red plaster into the palm of his hand, and then touched the wound on the back of Zhuang Hui's head. He then bandaged it with a bandage.

The man who had just gone to fetch the water took advantage of the fact that Doctor Gong treated Zhuang Hui, and everyone's eyes were focused on it, and then quietly retreated, looked left and right, bent down and picked up his hoe, and looked carefully at the back of the hoe. There was a small pool of blood on it, and there were several hairs stained with blood.

He couldn't help but have a cold war, looked around and bent down, took his hoe, pulled down his hair, buried it in the soil, and then spit some saliva on the bloodstains of the hoe, rubbing it hard with his sleeves.

At this moment, he heard the crowd say, "It's done, send him back to rest first! I'll catch the herbs and bring them to you later."

The man quickly turned the hoe upside down and poked it into the sand, pounded it, then let go of the hoe, turned around, and saw that no one in the crowd noticed him. He was about to stand up in a breath, suddenly, he found something was wrong, and turned his head to look at it, and saw a pair of cold eyes, Zhuang Hui's eyes!

The injured Zhuang Hui, who was lying on the ground, looked over the legs of the crowd with some sarcasm in his eyes, making the man froze.

At this moment, Morrie was standing up and whispering: "Dagui, Ergui, please go back two brothers, unload a door panel and carry Mr. Gu home."

The two men agreed and turned around and ran quickly towards the village.

Uncle Li Zhengyou stood up, looked around, and said, "Everyone is from the villagers. If you look up, you will see him. You are just fighting to carry water! Mr. Gu came over to persuade him with kindness, and you actually broke his head! He said! Who did it? Say it yourself. Otherwise, I will find out and hang it on the locust tree at the entrance of the village for a day and a night, and then send it to the county government for punishment!"

Everyone lowered their heads and no one spoke.

"Say it! Why is it mute? Didn't you shout and shout before, and I beat you to death? Why are you so stupid now? - Who did the first move? Say!"

A young man whispered: "It's Sister Mo..., she used the hoe first!"

The woman standing at Zhuang Hui's legs is the known sister Mo, named Mo Huaixiang, and is Mo Lizheng's daughter. The man who secretly wiped off the blood from the hoe just now was his husband Wu Yougen, who was the son-in-law of the Mo family.

Zhuang Hui looked at it and saw Mo Huaixiang wearing a crimson short shirt, same crimson bloomers, and a pair of deer leather boots under her legs. On her face, she had a pink and shiny oval face, which was smooth and charming. The eyebrows close to her eyebrows were a little lighter, but the back was thick and black, which made her look like a tomboy's mighty man. Her nose was as greasy as jade, and her rosy lips were a little thin. She looked like a quick-mouthed person.

Mo Huaixiang put his hands on his hips and said angrily: "Why am I going first? I was working in the field. I heard that you fight on the ground. I ran over and saw you guys pressing my house on the ground, hitting and kicking, and I rushed over. I took the hoe to scare you, but Sanzhuzi you guys used hoes to hit me, so of course I have to fight back!

"You rushed over and hit us with a hoe before we returned. Why did we hit you?"

"If you don't hit me, will I hit you?"
