Throw the window, sunlight kissed his cheek, his full body ache,but still he heard people murmurs. He thought he is admitted in the hospital. But confusion, he knew his time on the earth is stopped. But now....
After unknown time, He opened his eyelids slowly, his eyes scanned the surrounding. His brows frowning. The dilapidate house roof, ancient bedding, the window paper on the mud wall, broken wooden chair get his attention. His head hurts deeper, he clutched his forehead with both hands...
Some memories flood in...
But not his...
He transmigrated into ger is body, same name, Xie Rui the fourth son of Xie family. He is a male, he can get pregnant like Women but little fragile. This family love this little ger,his brothers adored him.
They are not rich, very very poor. Because old man xie drove them out of his house . The reason old madam xie want to marry xie Rui to crippled man who almost same age as his father as third wife. Xie Rui father pleaded with the old man ,somehow it turned big fight. Inbetween the old lady xie grabbed xie Rui by hair,try to beat him but accidentally he was pushed. His head bleeding heavily. He dropped dead on the place. He took his place....
Xie Rui parents demand separation, but the old man did not allowed. Xie Rui big brother threatened them with their grandson education ' if you don't separate now, I will go to the county . Report to your grandson teacher about what happened today. His reputation will be ruined,he will never take child examination ' he glare at them fiercely. Finaly old man agree with sour face.
Village chief get them certificate for them. That old man xie only give them 2 mu waste land , 1 mu fartile land and give them a old house. It was near forest.
They pack their things. Not much only some clothes, and this month ration for them which only coarse grain. They pick up their baby brother xie, first went to Village doctor. Then they came to the old house.. modern Xie Rui rested well as Ger xie Rui for one week. Finally opened his eyes....
Xie Rui held his head with both hands. Little sigh escape from his mouth ' grandpa i hope I will fullfill my promise to you ' because he likes men, he knew when he was 16 . He told his grandpa about this. First he could not accept this then seeing his suffering, his grandpa asked him to promise, that " if you like men its okay i support you but the one you choose must love and protect you with his life. He need to promise me that you are the only one for him in this life. If not you can stay with us, single all your life. " He promised the old man without hesitation.
Xie Rui stare at the thatched roof " Brother Rui thank you , I promise I will take care of your parents and brothers like they are mine,from now on they are my family . And i will definitely get you the justice " he murmured, gentle wind touched his cheek. At the time the door open from outside...
Wearing patched gray robe, with high ponytail, eyes sharp with cleverness, these years hard work lightly tanned his skin, with 7pack muscle growth. Xie Rui rewind the memory, this person his Big brother Xie Hua. They all call him Xie Da. Age 20.
His second brother and third brother both are twins. Just minutes gap.
Second brother Xie yue goes by Xie Er
Third brother Xie yuan goes by Xie San
Father xie - Xie shan
Mother xie - Liang chuhua
Old man xie has three sons and one daughter, his father is third son.
A light sigh broke his train of memories, Xie Da came in with a bowl of congee " Brother Rui here drink this" he sat down beside him. Xie Da look at his brother,took him by arms with support Xie Rui sat up.xie Da slowly blow the congee then feed him slowly. Xie Rui got emotional his eyes tears up without his permission because he never felt the care of siblings,even parents....
" Thank you god for giving me this chance"
Xie Da panicked when he saw him crying. He immediately wiped the tears " don't cry. Don't cry brother Xie. We are here. We never allow anyone to near you, brother will protect you from now on" Xie Rui like chicken nodded his head...
" Father, mother both of them went to Village chief is house to get the sealed seperate certificate. Xie Er and Xie San both went to pick up the fire wood. Brother Xie are you okay? Doctor said you're recovering well " Xie Da talking continuously with concern.
" Da ge I'm good. I want to go out. I am bored " he said with a pout. Xie Da chukkle" okay , first finish your food. I will take you out " said continue to feed him...
Half an hour later with support of Xie Da he came out. He felt all over pain but it bearable within 2 days he will recover both of them sat down near the kitchen yard with shades. His eyes roamed around the house. Xie Da " just sit here, I'm going to boil some water" went inside the kitchen...
Xie Rui nodded, looked around his eyes dimmed ' if only space is with me ' just like his spiritual form went inside the space,his eyes light up. ' oh heavens my space. ' suddenly white ball like thing hit his head ' ouch ' his eyes sparking with amusement.that white ball jumping around him like dumpling ' master master master ' the sudden call starteled him. ' you? What are you? '
' master I'm baobao this space gaurdian. When you travel through here ,with this place spiritual power i gain my form. I just born so.... Master don't laugh at me ' it said with pout...
' okay okay. Then baobao thank you for your hard work in advance. I hope you will grow up soon ' he hide his laugh but softly talk with it.
' i will master. Master don't worry I will help you through fire and water. '
' thank you baobao. I will talk to you later,then I'm going now ' with said he went out.
He lifted his head from his knees. He hear noise in the kitchen, knew its his big brother.
His thoughts ' this family really poor. I will help them, but i can I do? How to help them? ' his thoughts disturb by the sound outside the fence.
Xie Er and Xie San came back from chopping wood.
" Brother Xie? You are awake? "
" Brother Xie? Why are you sitting outside? "
Hearing the noises from inside the kitchen Xie da came out of the kitchen " he just bored staying in the room, he is okay now. You both wash your face ,drink some water "
"Okay Da ge "
" Hmm ge "
Both of them went to fresh up,then join with other two. Xie Rui talked with them,he felt really happy. They really Loves him. But not yet.... Because he is not the original one... Soon he will make them love him as who he was.
Soon the sun set to go home, their parents came by with upset faces.... But they didn't tell them what happened.. Xie Er set the dinner. Nothing much just steamed bun and vegetable pickle. After the dinner Father Xie gather them to talk.
" Father what happened? " Asked Xie Da
Looking at his father's face he knew something is not right. " My father wants 5 silver tael" he announced.
What?
" They are Robbing us"
" I will teach them a lesson" said Xie San angrily stood up. But stopped by his mother. " Xie San, sit down. Listen to your father first"
" We get the seperate documents but your grandmother, by the name of filial pity asked us for me to pay her. If i didn't pay they sue me in the court. Village chief said nothing,told me to pay the amount, settle the matter with them. I agree, In three months . "
"They really disgusting "
" Our family work for them day and night. These years work nothing to them? "
Xie mother sighed" if we really want a peace then we have to give them "
Xie Da" father , mother don't worry. Tomorrow I leave for the county to see for work "
" Us too " replied the twins.
" I will go with you sons " Father xie said then they retire for tonight...
The whole time Xie Rui didn't speak. He went to his room. Sitting in the meditation he entered the space.
Baobao immediately fly towards him.
" Master " he called sweetly
" Baobao where is the things in the space? " He asked. Searching for his things he once put in the space.
" Ohh come with me master" said baobao.
Leading him countless of fertile fields with crops growing ,they reached the bamboo house. " Master the things you want all here. " Said baobao followed him in. Once inside he saw everything arranged neatly. He went to the multiple cabinets. Checking everything.
He decided on something then turned to baobao with questions plaster on his face " baobao i saw in the fields...." Baobao beat him to answer " master I'm bored. I don't know what to do , this fields? You didn't maintain them properly. Anyways this is my home so i planted it for master. It will ready in 10 days " said.
Xie Rui shocked"10 days... Only 10 days? "
Baobao" master the time in the space can change. Importantly for crops its multiple times faster. Don't worry master. I will take care of here. You have to protect you outside of the space. Don't die on me again " he threatened him with childish voice.
Then he realised something, " its you... Its you. Right? "
" Yes master. Our ancestors guards your family. So naturally this is my turn to protect you" said baobao settled on his shoulder.
" Thank you baobao, I will too take care of you from now on. " He promised.
The Little dumpling crassed his cheeks softly,he let out a small chukkle...
