Unfamiliar scenes flashed through the young man's mind, causing him to have a split headache.

This is a fragment of memory, a memory that does not belong to him.

The boy didn't know why this happened, but he tried hard to open his eyes. The first thing that caught his eye was a dark ceiling.

The boy rolled his eyes and looked around and saw the same dark wall. On the wall was a yellowed poster. The poster was a woman wearing a cheongsam, and it was a hand-painted one, just like a product from the Republic of China period.

Looking around, there is a shabby cabinet, several benches, a square table, and a greasy glass-covered kerosene lamp on the square table, a broken inkstone, a greasy brush, and things like books.

"It's all the time, are there people using kerosene lamps to sell antiques?" The boy was thinking about it, but he heard another voice sounding from the side:

"Xiaoqiang is awake, come over, Xiaoqiang is awake!"

The next second, a dark and wrinkled face appeared in the boy's sight. He looked at the boy carefully and immediately shouted: "I'm really awake. I'm not dead yet. Go and get a bowl of brown sugar water. Maybe I can save my life!"

After a while, someone came over with a broken porcelain bowl. There was still some dark soup in the bowl, and it was poured into the boy's mouth without saying a word.

"Whether you can withstand it depends on his luck!" Another voice sounded.

The boy felt that the bowl of brown sugar water was not sweet, and even had a bitter taste. Obviously, the brown sugar was not of great quality. Fortunately, the brown sugar water was hot. After a bowl of hot water, his mind was restored to some clarity.

The countless memory fragments in my mind became clearer and clearer, and gradually combined together. The next second, the boy suddenly realized that he had traveled through time!

"I'm not dead, I actually traveled through time! It's 1929! I'm back a hundred years ago." After realizing this, the boy's breathing began to become rapid.

Before traveling through time, he worked as a professional athlete, a professional coach, and a guest appearance as a sports commentator. Later, he became a professor in a sports university. He was also very famous. His research results in sports are well-known even internationally.

Now, he has traveled through time and became a fifteen-year-old boy, whose current name is Chen Qiang.

The memories in his mind became more and more coherent and clearer, and he finally learned the life experience of this young man named "Chen Qiang".

Chen Qiang's ancestral home is Jinan, Shandong, and his ancestors have been a Jinshi, so the Chen family is also considered a scholarly family.

The Chen family has some family businesses in Jinan Prefecture, which can be regarded as a wealthy family. The Chinese attach importance to education, so if you have money, you will naturally not be stingy for your children to study. Therefore, Chen Qiang entered elementary school at the age of three, and later went to elementary school and middle school in the best schools in Jinan.

According to the normal life trajectory, after Chen Qiang graduated from high school, he would take an entrance exam for a university and then enter society.

Who knows that when people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven.

In 1928, when Chen Qiang was fourteen years old, the horrific Jinan Massacre occurred. Chen Qiang's family all died in the Jinan Massacre. At that time, Chen Qiang happened to be in school and escaped by chance. After escaping from the city, he followed a group of refugees to wander all the way to Shanghai.

After coming to Shanghai, Chen Qiang was not deceived by human traffickers to be a coolie and sold, nor became a pickpocketer. Instead, he became a newspaper boy by going to school and being able to learn words. He made some money every day and lived in 1929.

The old Shanghai newspaper boys did not have much income, and often they could not even satisfy their food and clothing. In order to make more money and get enough food, Chen Qiang decided to change jobs, found a car dealer, and changed his career to become a rickshaw driver.

The rickshaw driver is very hard, but for Chen Qiang, who has experienced the destruction of his family, it is nothing to suffer. Moreover, he grew up in a wealthy family, and he has been good at urinating and drinking, but has no shortage of nutrition. In addition, the genes of Shandong man, even though he is only fifteen years old, he is tall and looks strong, and he can do such a hard work as a cart.

Some people may think that it is still a child at the age of fifteen and has not grown all the hairs, and it is even more fantastic to pull a rickshaw. But in old China, pulling a rickshaw at the age of fifteen is not new.

Mr. Hu Shi once had an article called "Rickshaw Driver". There was a passage in it. The guest asked the coachman how old he was. The coachman replied: "This year, I have been driving a car for three years. Don't be suspicious." This means that the coachman started to pull a rickshaw when he was thirteen years old. Therefore, it was normal for a 15-year-old rickshaw driver at that time.

Pulling a cart is more profitable than selling newspapers. There is no problem with pulling a rickshaw in the old Shanghai to allow the family of three to have enough food and clothing. Unfortunately, Chen Qiang was very unlucky and was hit by a car the next day after becoming a rickshaw driver.

This was in 1929, when those who could afford cars were either rich or noble. A dignitary or foreigner who drove cars, even if they hit and killed a rickshaw driver, it would be a waste of time.

After all, the coachman is the lowest level of society. The old Shanghai police station would not care about the life and death of a rickshaw driver. Not only that, the coachman who was hit was also responsible. It would be thankful that people would not ask you for repair fees, and even if they don’t think about it, they would even think about it.

When he was hit by a car, Chen Qiang lost half his life and fell into a coma. A poor man like a rickshaw driver naturally couldn't afford to hire a doctor or go to the hospital. When he was hit by a car, he could only leave his fate. A kind-hearted colleague carried Chen Qiang back to the car shop and waited for death.

These days, there are many dead people thrown into the Huangpu River every day, not only Chen Qiang is the one.

Next, there was the scene of a professor from the University of Physical Education. After a bowl of inferior brown sugar was put on, Chen Qiang had died before, and now Chen Qiang has become the future professor of physical education.

...

The headache gradually eased, and Chen Qiang's head became clearer and clearer. He half-squinted his eyes and secretly observed everything around him.

"Have you really traveled through time? In 1929? I really came to 1929? Is this old Shanghai of the Republic of China?"

At this moment, Chen Qiang still couldn't accept what he had traveled through time, and his mind was even more blank.

Confusion, helplessness, fear, anxiety... All kinds of negative emotions came like a fountain. Chen Qiang hoped that this was a dream. He just needed to open his eyes suddenly to wake up from the dream.

Footsteps sounded, and a middle-aged man in his forties walked in. The man was not tall and slightly fat. Unlike others, the man was wearing a long gown.

So far, everyone Chen Qiang has seen is dressed in short clothes, they are all coachmen who work hard, and this middle-aged man is definitely not a hard work hard because he is wearing a long gown.

When the people in the car shop saw the man in the long gown, they immediately gave him to both sides, and their expressions seemed very respectful. It was obvious that the man in the long gown had a status.

"The shopkeeper is back!" Someone even stepped forward to say hello in a flattering manner.

With the title of "shopkeeper", Chen Qiang's memory also revealed the information about this shopkeeper. This person's surname is Liu and is the boss of this car shop.

Manager Liu said, "I just went to Mr. Gu Si's place. Mr. Gu Si's kindness and righteousness. He said that since it was our car shop, we couldn't ignore it if we were hit and killed. Let us take care of his affairs. I heard that this kid has no relatives and is a fugitive. This is a waste of trouble. You guys find a place to bury him later, so as not to keep the corpse in the wilderness. Remember to dig deeper the pit and don't be dug out by wild dogs. This is what Mr. Gu Si's personal instructions."

"Shopkeeper, that boy Chen Qiang is not dead yet." A voice sounded, and the person who spoke was the man who just fed Chen Qiang brown sugar water.

"I'm not dead yet? When I pulled it back, didn't you say that you would have more breathing and less breathing? You're still alive!" Manager Liu frowned. He wasn't deliberately cursing Chen Qiang to quit his breath earlier, but he was just simply surprised.

"I just poured him a bowl of brown sugar water, and this kid actually survived. Now it seems that he can't die." The man replied.

"Take me to see." Manager Liu ordered. After a few seconds, Manager Liu's face appeared in Chen Qiang's sight.

He has a big forehead and small eyes, a small beard on his mouth, a pale face, and a few greasy pieces in his long gown. This shopkeeper Liu doesn't look like a decent person.

Manager Liu stared at Chen Qiang for a long time and found that Chen Qiang was awake and conscious, so he said to himself: "It seems that this slut cannot die. He is so lucky. He can still survive after being hit by a car so far."

Manager Liu said, and ordered to the people around him: "Please help him up and see if he can move!"

Immediately someone stepped forward to help Chen Qiang sit up and move.

In fact, after the brown sugar water was put on that night, Chen Qiang became conscious. At that time, he could move. He was still as if he was lying in place, but because he could not accept the time travel for a while, he could not accept this change in his identity and living environment.

"It seems that I can't die! This is still a troublesome..." Manager Liu said to himself.

Chen Qiang was suddenly dissatisfied. He was not dead, but Manager Liu was quite disappointed. He also said it was a "trouble". Manager Liu seemed to have no life at all!

Manager Liu continued, "If you are dead, I wouldn't worry that the owner will come to cause trouble. Rich families will not seek bad luck. But now you are not dead, and the car is mainly here to ask me about the repair fee, but I can't afford it!"

Chen Qiang instantly understood what "trouble" that Manager Liu said was.

This old Shanghai is so cruel. The poor have no place to argue. A wealthy and powerful family hit a coachman. Not only does it not have to be responsible for it, but it also has to pay the cost of getting rid of the repair of the car. If Chen Qiang is hit and killed, the debt will be eliminated. The nobles and nobles will not be able to compete with a dead person, which is so unlucky! But Chen Qiang is not dead. Maybe they will really ask Chen Qiang to pay for the repair of the car, which is indeed a trouble for the car dealer.

At least in the eyes of most people, Chen Qiang's life is not as good as a bumper in a car.

Manager Liu sighed: "Forget it! Since you were not hit by a car, you are lucky! This is a messy battle. If the King of Hell doesn't accept you, you should live well in the future. But you can't do this cart job!"

"Why?" Chen Qiang asked subconsciously.

"If I keep you, then the owner who hit you will come and asks you to pay for the repair of the car. Can you afford it? If you can't afford it, don't let my car dealer pay? That's a four-wheeled car, not a two-wheeled rickshaw. Even if I sell this car dealer, I can't buy a car! What can I pay for it? So you can't stay in my little temple. If you leave, it has nothing to do with my car dealer." Manager Liu said coldly.

In fact, Manager Liu was not sure whether the rich family would come to ask for money for car repairs, but Manager Liu knew that he would not be able to offend anyone who could drive a car. The so-called "more than more" is worse than less, and driving Chen Qiang away is definitely a one-time and for all. Moreover, Manager Liu has no shortage of such a "understood coachman".

I saw Manager Liu waved his hand and said, "Okay, hurry up and leave! You can't stay in the coachman's business anymore. Find some other livelihoods in the future!"

Chen Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was unemployed!

"I was fired on the first day of time travel!"
