Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

The Zhang family's ability to be shunned by all kinds of insects is so unique that it is probably an open secret in some circles.

Although Chang Zhengyang was reborn as a human being, he cherished this hard-earned new life. However, he would rather die than be a coward and hide in the wilderness.

"Dad, I won't leave..."

Chang Baichuan raised his head abruptly and shouted, "What? No, Zhengyang, you can't act on impulse!"

Facing Chang Baichuan's eyes, Chang Zhengyang took a deep breath and said, "I'm already in the game. It's useless to hide blindly!"

After a moment of silence, Chang Baichuan finished his cigarette in one breath, as if he had made a decision. He stomped out the cigarette butt, looked at Chang Zhengyang and said, "So what are you going to do?"

At this moment, Chang Baichuan's eyes were full of expectation. The eldest brother had been very smart since he was young. He could learn anything at a glance. Maybe he really had some method...

Chang Zhengyang just smiled and said, "If you can't beat them, then join them. Dad, I believe that with my ability, I will be able to reach a high enough position in 20 years, and then all these problems will be solved."

It is now 58. He is familiar with the general trend of the next few decades and will not stand on the wrong side like others. He cannot say that he can achieve the highest position, but he is confident that he can enter the center of power.

The key is that the times have changed. We have entered modern medicine. In a few years, genetics will develop. The Zhang family's Qilin bloodline can make people immortal, which is nothing more than a special gene. If one day he accidentally exposes his identity as the eldest living person of the Zhang family, he will immediately reveal his identity and provide blood samples to everyone. Being a fed guinea pig is better than hiding in the sewers!

Chang Zhengyang narrowed his eyes slightly. When carnivores face common people, they will only show their bloody mouths. When facing their own kind, if they cannot swallow them in one bite, they will only compromise with each other.

He knew those people's nature very well!

Chang Baichuan was a little uncertain when he heard this: "Zhengyang, do you mean that you want to be an official? This officialdom is brutal and ruthless. It's not that Dad doesn't trust you, but Dad is afraid that you will make a mistake and be doomed!"

Chang Baichuan was conflicted. Although he had never been to school, it didn't mean that he was illiterate. He had also been educated and had read a lot of classics, history, and literature. In addition, he had excellent carpentry skills. He had made furniture for many dignitaries and had seen countless powerful people fall. He knew the horror of officialdom.

Chang Zhengyang certainly knows how terrible the officialdom is, but he can’t do business in this era. Besides, money is not as important as power. In China, what’s the use of having a lot of money without power?

In fact, Chang Zhengyang also wanted to go to Hong Kong, or to the United States across the ocean. Later, he thought that although these places could do business, his bloodline could not integrate into the top circles.

Take Hong Kong in 58 for example. At that time, Hong Kong society was in great chaos. The economic lifeline and the power of the middle and upper classes were all in the hands of foreigners. The Chinese had no room to display their talents.

Moreover, Hong Kong really prospered seventy years later, after China and the United States eased their relations and international trade between the two sides developed rapidly. As the only window, Hong Kong reaped huge dividends and developed.

Then in the 1980s, China opened up to the outside world and Hong Kong really took off.

It's only 58 years now, the timing is not right, and he would just be wasting time if he went out!

Chang Baichuan looked at Chang Zhengyang with a determined look in his eyes, knowing that the boss had made up his mind and that even ten oxen could not pull him back. He sighed and said, "Well, this is the only way. I hope you still remember our family and think twice before you act!"

At this point, Chang Baichuan stopped acting like a child. After all, he was a man who had struggled through the turbulent times and was not a coward. After calming down, he straightened his back again when he walked out of the cave, as if what had just happened had never happened.

Chang Zhengyang stood nearby, looking at the mountains outside. He saw dense forests in front of him and undulating mountains in the distance. It was a mild weather in Yanjing in May, and the mountain breeze was very cool and pleasant when blowing on his body.

Really reborn!

Chang Zhengyang sighed as he looked down at his worn-out Liberation shoes, blue coarse cloth pants, and a white shirt that had turned a little yellow from washing. He was filled with emotion.

Even though his clothes were unwanted trash in his previous life and had few patches on them, an average family wouldn't have many of them these days.

In the countryside, for a young man of his age, having a set of clothes to change into is considered a good thing. In the summer, children basically only have a pair of shorts made from old clothes. They don’t even have shoes, let alone pants and shirts.

This is Wulong Mountain, which is more than 30 kilometers away from the city. If you walk back, it will take at least four hours, including the mountain road.

Chang Zhengyang's face suddenly turned bitter when he thought about the fact that he would have to spend seven or eight hours every day in the next year to find food in Yulong Mountain, and that he would have to come at night to avoid being seen.

How come we have come to this era when industry and agriculture are underdeveloped?

Damn Qilin bloodline!

During the first year of awakening, a large amount of nutrition needs to be supplemented every day. If the nutrition is insufficient, the body will gradually become thinner. In serious cases, there may be a risk of life.

Chang Zhengyang looked back at the cave. There was a simple stove inside, as well as three hundred kilograms of bacon and one hundred kilograms of flour. These were all prepared by Chang Baichuan in the past six months in case his bloodline awakened.

The problem is that he seemed to have eaten more than thirty steamed buns and a pot of stewed meat weighing about ten pounds. With this amount of food, the little food that Dad prepared can only last for eight months at most, right?

Chang Zhengyang looked at his stomach in disbelief. It wasn't bloated at all. Where did all the food he had just eaten go?

The father and son walked down the rugged mountain road. When they were about to go down the mountain, Chang Zhengyang couldn't help asking, "Dad, when you married my mother, wasn't it..."

Chang Baichuan stopped walking, as if he understood what Chang Zhengyang wanted to say. He snorted coldly and said, "I am sincere to my mother. Don't worry about other things. Just take care of yourself."

Hey!

This old man!

Chang Zhengyang grinned and said nothing more. The two of them walked quickly towards Guojiazhuang at the foot of the mountain.

As for why Chang Zhengyang asked that question just now, it was because he remembered it when he saw Guojiazhuang from afar.

His grandfather's family lived in Guojiazhuang. His name was Guo Quanlin and he was a bodyguard.

What is escort?

To put it simply, it is about delivering things to people. To use the terminology of decades later, it is about logistics.

Don't underestimate the escorts. In those days, the roads were difficult to travel on, and there were bandits robbing and looting everywhere. If you were an escort with superb kung fu skills, you would not be able to make a living as one.
