Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

"Cuihua is a fellow villager of my fourth uncle. They grew up in the same village, and she is Japanese." Huang Mazi's anxious voice came.

"Oh, how did you know? You didn't make it up, did you?" Yu Dazhuang said suspiciously.

"It's true. Fourth uncle's other line is connected through this woman. Everything I said is true." Yu Dazhuang looked at Huang Mazi with a dead look in his eyes.

Suddenly, he raised his foot and kicked Huang Mazi, who flew out, hit the wall, and fell to the ground. Yu Dazhuang walked over slowly, stepped on Huang Mazi's lower body with his foot, and twisted it back and forth with his foot. Huang Mazi screamed like a pig being slaughtered, his whole body convulsed in pain, and he fainted from the pain. Yu Dazhuang was still not satisfied, so he picked up a dagger and wanted to cut Huang Mazi's neck, but finally moved to the wrist and cut the tendons of both hands. Huang Mazi was awakened by the pain and could only make weak whimpering sounds. Yu Dazhuang raised his foot and broke the knee of one of Huang Mazi's feet. Huang Mazi fainted from the pain again.

Yu Dazhuang walked out of the room where Huang Mazi was imprisoned, and saw the two people standing outside the yard. He was slightly startled. Then, he nodded gently to the two people, climbed over the wall in the night, and headed towards home.

The house was quiet, and the mother and Congcong had fallen asleep peacefully. Yu Dazhuang stood quietly under the eaves, looking up at the moon above, with a hint of sadness in his eyes. He hadn't thought of Yunniang for a long time, the one who always told him firmly: "Dazhuang, I must get out of here and find help to save the villagers. The environment here is so beautiful, it should be harmonious and prosperous, and the villagers should have smiles on their faces, not sorrow, just like the paradise described by Tao Yuanming."

"Sister, I will make this place a stable home for the villagers, and turn the sorrow on their faces into bright smiles. I will also let Cong Cong go to school, see the outside world, and broaden her horizons." Yu Dazhuang looked at the moon and murmured softly, as if he was talking to the deceased Yunniang.

The moon gradually sank to the west and quietly disappeared, and the sun took over the duty. Yu Dazhuang came to his master's residence early in the morning, and Tiezhu had already started practicing.

"Master, when will the police arrive?" Yu Dazhuang asked softly.

"It should be here in the afternoon, so don't get involved with the rest. Ask Chief Fu to arrange the logistics and organize the villagers to undergo inspection and registration." Nan Yi instructed slowly, with a barely perceptible hint of fatigue in his tone.

"Well, I see."

"Master, are you leaving?" Yu Dazhuang couldn't help but ask again.

"Well, it's time to leave. Master's mission has not been completed yet, and I need to continue to complete it. I won't say goodbye to you when I leave. You tell Cong Cong that Grandpa Nan will come back to see her after he completes the mission." There was a hint of sadness in Nan Yi's voice.

"That girl is crying and blaming me again." Yu Dazhuang complained helplessly.

"Tiezhu, come here." Nan Yi waved at Tiezhu who was practicing martial arts.

"Grandpa Nan, what's wrong?" Tiezhu quickly ran to Nan Yi and Yu Dazhuang and asked curiously.

"Tiezhu, don't come over tomorrow morning. You should practice martial arts like you did during this period and keep practicing. If you don't understand something about boxing, go ask your uncle Dazhuang. Grandpa Nan is leaving soon." Nan Yi said to Tiezhu gently, his eyes full of kindness.

"Grandpa Nan, did you go to get treatment?" Tiezhu asked, blinking his innocent eyes.

"Well, I guess so. You have to practice diligently and come back for a check-up after I recover from my illness." Nan Yi said in a serious tone.

"Yeah, yeah." Tiezhu nodded vigorously.

"Go!" Nan Yi waved his hand gently, signaling Tie Zhu to continue practicing. Tie Zhu turned and left, his small figure looking a little lonely in the morning sun. Nan Yi looked at Tie Zhu's back, and a sour emotion surged in his heart.

Under the sunshine, the lake is like a huge mirror, reflecting the lush trees and blue sky. The breeze blows gently, and ripples appear on the lake, as soft as silk.

Widow Wang carried the wash basin, a smug smile on her face, and walked quickly to the lakeside to show off her well-informedness to the villagers: "Have you heard? The police came in this afternoon."

A village woman nearby was washing clothes attentively. When she heard what Widow Wang said, she looked up at her and replied with a smile, "The clan leader has notified every household, how could they not know?" Her expression was calm and gentle.

On the other side, a young daughter-in-law was washing clothes in the lake, and she echoed: "Yes, we're going to line up at the ancestral hall in the afternoon, and the children have to go too." Her eyes were focused and serious.

At this time, a woman came over with clothes in her hands and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Is the newborn baby going?"

The woman who answered her was just picking up the laundry basin and preparing to get up. When she heard what she said, she stopped and said affirmatively, "You have to go. You have to go. You have to re-register your household registration." After saying that, she walked away with the laundry basin.

Not far away, He Miao raised her hand and waved with a warm smile on her face: "Aunt Liu, come here. It's empty here." Her voice was crisp and loud, as if adding a touch of vitality to the tranquil lakeside.

In the early morning, the sunlight shines softly through the window into the room, illuminating Yu Congcong's tender and lovely face. She sits on the bed obediently, holding the spoon tightly in her little hands, and is trying hard and seriously to eat her breakfast.

Grandma, who was standing by, looked at her lovingly and wanted to feed her, but Yu Congcong firmly refused. Grandma had no choice but to bring a kang table and put it on the bed. This table was made by grandma when mom was in confinement. Grandma must be from the north. You can tell by the way she cooks. She likes to cook big dishes in a big pot.

"Host, I have fed the information back to the main system." The system's voice came.

Yu Congcong put down the spoon, thought for a moment and then asked, "Well, you seemed to have said yesterday that you could monitor my brain waves. Does that mean you know everything I'm thinking?"

"That's not the case. You can only know it when it is related to the system and it is very strong." The voice of the system came clearly into her ears.

At this moment, Tiezhu's small square face suddenly appeared at the door. "Congcong, I'm here to accompany you!" he shouted excitedly.

Yu Congcong felt a little awkward because she knew that this boy would be the second male lead in the future and he liked the female lead in the book. She frowned slightly and responded softly, "Yeah."

"Congcong, the police will come into the village this afternoon. Grandpa has already notified every household." Tiezhu said excitedly, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"You have to apply for household registration again. The whole village has to line up for inspection and registration. I will carry you there then." Tiezhu walked into the room, sat on the bed and said.

Yu Congcong swallowed the porridge in her mouth and replied, "Well, Dad should be with us. We should be checking each household." Her voice was calm and firm.

"Oh, that's okay. I'll accompany you to register first, and then we can go register with grandpa. Grandpa is very busy anyway. We can register last." Tiezhu scratched his head and said nonchalantly.

"Host, this male second is so good to you." The system's electronic sound carries a sense of CP support.

"Well, who knows? Will they become enemies when they meet the heroine? Isn't that what it's written in novels? The second male lead is usually the heroine's loyal dog. The kind who goes crazy for the heroine and bangs his head against the wall for her. I'm a little scared just thinking about it, my little heart!" Yu Congcong frowned, complaining to the system crazily in his heart, with a look of confusion on his face.

"Congcong, what's wrong with you?" Tiezhu raised his eyebrows and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Nothing?" Yu Congcong blinked her big eyes and looked at Tiezhu in confusion. "Oh, I was so engrossed in complaining that I didn't hear what the second male lead said." Yu Congcong muttered to herself, her little hands unconsciously clenching the corner of her clothes.

"Host, the second male lead asked if your injury has felt better?" The electronic voice of the system carried a sense of gloating.

"I've been thinking about your question. I can't see my wound myself, so how do I know if it's better?" Yu Congcong looked away, and started to talk nonsense with an evasive look, feeling more and more conflicted.

"Oh, do you still feel pain?" Tiezhu stood up anxiously and asked Yu Congcong close to him.

"It hurts. It hurts more than yesterday!" Yu Congcong answered seriously, frowning and pursing his lips.

"Ah, then let Grandpa Liu come and take a look?" Tiezhu rubbed his hands eagerly.

This idiot, it will definitely hurt more after the anesthetic wears off. Hehe, he is so nervous about me, but I feel comfortable in my heart. Yu Congcong thought to himself, and a smile appeared unconsciously at the corner of his mouth.

"Host, are you jealous?" The system looked at Yu Congcong's series of behaviors, checked the database, and felt that this was a sign of jealousy, so it asked.

"Don't talk nonsense. Why are you jealous? You're just a little brat. Who should be jealous?" Yu Congcong argued with the system in her heart and refused to admit it, but her little face flushed slightly.

Let's go find Grandpa Liu to check on her. Congcong is always in a daze. She doesn't respond when I ask her questions for a long time. Maybe she is in too much pain and is trying to endure it. Thinking of this, Tiezhu ran out.

"Host, host, if you don't come to your senses, the second male lead will go find Doctor Liu." The electronic voice of the system carried a hint of watching a good show.

"Tiezhu, where are you going? Come back." Yu Congcong stamped her feet anxiously, her heart was tangled and flustered, and she quickly stretched out her hand to greet him. Tiezhu ran back again, "Congcong, I'll go find Grandpa Liu. If you are in pain, don't bear it. Let Grandpa Liu prescribe some painkillers for you." Tiezhu panted heavily, and a few beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"No need to look for it. It's normal to feel more painful than yesterday after the anesthetic has worn off. I couldn't bear it. Don't worry." Yu Congcong waved her hands quickly and explained hastily.

"By the way, I have something else to ask you." Yu Congcong quickly changed the subject and pointed at the iron pillar with her little finger.
