Volume 1 Rebirth Chapter 1 The Demise of a Tyrant

This is a brightly lit nightclub. The chandeliers on the ceiling illuminate the entire nightclub, but unlike usual, the entire nightclub is quiet. In a luxurious room, a man of about thirty years old sits on a leather sofa. Although there is a scar on the man's face that runs from the corner of his eye to his chin, it does not affect his charm. On the contrary, it makes him look more mature. It is not difficult to see the charm of his youth on his weathered face. Standing quietly next to the man is a woman of about twenty years old dressed in white. The woman is very beautiful, but what is more noticeable is her cold temperament. There is also a dagger at her waist.

Ye Feng drank the liquor in the bottle. The pungent taste gave him a slight jolt, and he bitterly recalled his life. He had never done anything good in his life; calling him a social parasite wouldn't be wrong. Having lost his father at a young age, he was very withdrawn and always felt that the eyes of those around him were full of pity. During his adolescence, he became exceptionally rebellious, never understanding his mother's good intentions. He never listened to her, always fighting with his classmates, and eventually went down a path of no return. His mother died from exhaustion because of him, and he was finally completely free. He joined a gang and for more than ten years, he used any means necessary to gain power and status. Now, a powerful gang declared war on him, and his underlings fled in fear. Now he was truly a lonely figure, abandoned by everyone. Back then, in the underworld, who wouldn't tremble at the mention of "Brother Feng"? "Sigh, I never thought that I, Ye Feng, would have this day!" Ye Feng picked up the bottle of liquor and drank it all in one gulp. The pungent taste made him cough a few times.

A gentle voice came from the side, "Brother Feng, don't drink anymore, baijiu is too harmful to your health!" The voice was exceptionally gentle. After speaking, the owner of the voice took the bottle from Ye Feng's hand and gently patted Ye Feng's back with her soft hands. Ye Feng did not refuse her actions. After a while, Ye Feng calmed down and looked at this woman, his heart filled with emotion. He remembered the first time he saw this girl in the slums. He could tell that she was a girl with a similar experience to his. Her eyes were full of rebellion. This greatly impressed Ye Feng. Of course, what Ye Feng valued even more was her talent, so he adopted her and devoted himself to training her into a peerless assassin. She did not disappoint him, brilliantly completing various assassination missions. Any member of the underworld trembled at the mention of "Silver Fox." Silver Fox was a legend in the assassin world, having carried out over a hundred assassinations without a single failure. Her targets even included national-level officials. Anyone who received an assassination warrant from Silver Fox, no matter where they hid, had no chance of survival. She became a sharp sword in Ye Feng's hand, clearing away many obstacles for him. Looking at this beautiful woman, Ye Feng felt a slight... Comforted, Ye Feng, who hadn't expected to find someone by his side after being abandoned by everyone, said, "Xiao Bing, leave here! I'm destined to die tonight. You've already repaid the kindness I showed you back then. You don't need to follow me anymore. You're still young, and a bright future awaits you. Don't get involved in the underworld again; it's a path of no return. After I die, you don't need to avenge me. Find someone who loves you, marry them, have a child, and live a happy life."

Xiao Bing's real name was Ye Bing. An orphan since childhood, she naturally didn't know her own name and wandered the slums. Later, she met Ye Feng, who adopted her and gave her the name Ye Bing. Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Ye Bing, who had forgotten the taste of tears since becoming an assassin, found two streams of tears flowing down her cheeks. She threw herself into Ye Feng's arms, sobbing, "Brother Feng, come with me! With my skills, I can protect you. Then we'll find a safe place and live a good life." Ye Feng smiled bitterly, "The Heaven and Earth Society has laid a trap. It's not safe to escape anywhere. Besides, there are only Brother Fengs who die in battle, never Brother Fengs who escape!" As he spoke, Ye Feng exuded an aura of dominance. Ye Bing sobbed, "But what about me? I only love you in this life. I can't live without you. Brother Feng, I'm begging you, come with me. We'll escape abroad and find a safe place. I'll marry you and serve you well for the rest of my life! Do you know? I love you. I fell in love with you the first time we met." Ye Bing spoke the last sentence with great determination, and after speaking, she looked at Ye Feng with expectant and longing eyes. Looking into Ye Bing's eyes, Ye Feng felt a slight pang in his heart. He had only ever felt heartache when his mother died, but now he was experiencing it again. He knew he loved Ye Bing, but he also knew what kind of person he was and could never give her happiness. Although he wanted to be irresponsible towards her, he couldn't bring himself to be so cruel. Hearing Ye Bing's words, he was slightly taken aback, surprised by the depth of her feelings for him. He smiled gently and stroked her hair, saying: “Silly girl, you’ve mistaken gratitude for love. You’re too young to understand these things. Time heals all wounds. You’ll understand after I die. You only feel gratitude towards me. Then you’ll meet someone better than me who loves you. Marry him and live a good life!” Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Ye Bing said firmly, “Brother Feng, I’m not young anymore. I understand all this. I love you. Come with me!” Hearing Ye Bing’s words, Ye Feng felt helpless, knowing she was determined. He hardened his heart and said coldly, “But…” "It's because I don't love you, you know that? You're just a killing tool I trained, a dog. I'll never have any feelings for you. Get out of here!" After saying that, he pushed Ye Bing hard, sending her to the floor. Hearing Ye Feng's words, Ye Bing burst into tears and threw herself into his arms. Ye Feng tried to push her away a few times, but he was helpless. He hadn't expected Ye Bing to be so stubborn, so he could only hug her and say coldly, "Why are you begging for mercy again?" Ye Bing hugged Ye Feng tightly, intoxicated by his warmth, seemingly oblivious to his words. She said tenderly, "Brother Feng, I know you're only saying this to get me to leave. Since we can't be together, my life has no meaning. I'd rather die with you, and be a ghost couple in the underworld." Ye Feng was helpless at this moment, not expecting Ye Bing to be so resolute. He gently

put his arms around Ye Bing's waist and smiled slightly, "Silly girl, why are you so foolish? I'm not worth you doing this." Hearing Ye Feng say this, Ye Bing's heart was filled with happiness, especially the hands of Brother Feng on her waist, which made her blush. But what happened next shattered her heart. Ye Feng suddenly pulled out a dagger from Ye Bing's left hand, pushed Ye Bing away, and plunged the dagger into his own heart. Then he pulled it out, and blood gushed from his chest. Ye Bing felt Ye Feng pull out her dagger and sensed something was wrong. She tried to snatch it back, but it was too late. Seeing the blood spurting from Ye Feng's chest, she felt the world turn gray. She rushed over and tightly hugged Ye Feng's collapsing body, urgently saying, "Brother Feng, I'll take you to the hospital right away." Ye Feng smiled slightly and said, "Silly girl, don't deceive yourself. As an assassin, you should know very well that even a celestial being couldn't save me. After I die, you must live well and not seek revenge for me." As he spoke, his voice slowly weakened. Hearing Ye Feng's voice, Ye Bing was filled with despair. She picked up the dagger from the ground and slowly stabbed it into her left chest. Ye Feng saw this and knew Ye Bing's intention. His heart shattered, and he shouted "No!" while reaching out to stop her, but his hand fell halfway down, and he could only watch helplessly. Ye Feng watched helplessly as Ye Bing plunged the dagger in and pulled it out, gushing bright red blood from her prominent left breast. He held Ye Bing's body, which had collapsed onto him, in his arms with all his might, and smiled bitterly, "Silly girl, why are you so foolish?" Hearing Ye Feng's words, Ye Bing smiled slightly and said, "Since I can't be with you, what's the point of living? It's better to die than endure endless pain." Ye Feng was deeply moved and, with his last strength, said, "If there is an afterlife, I will definitely marry...you...as...my...wife..." His voice gradually weakened, and the last few words were barely uttered. After speaking, his eyes lost their light, and his breathing stopped. Hearing Ye Feng's words, Ye Bing smiled happily, and with her last strength, pressed her lips to Ye Feng's lips, then felt her consciousness gradually fade...

Volume One Rebirth Chapter Two Rebirth

This is a typical southern rural village. The morning smoke rises gently, telling tales of the villagers' diligence. In a farmhouse courtyard, the morning sun shines in, making the room bright and cozy. Ye Feng slowly opens his eyes, staring at the ceiling, muttering to himself, "Am I saved? I didn't expect my serious injuries to be healed. It seems modern medicine is truly advanced!" But then he remembers seeing Ye Bing plunge a dagger into her heart. How is she? Ye Feng sits up, looking around the room. He sees a woman sleeping beside him. Upon closer inspection, Ye Feng's heart trembles violently. The woman is about twenty years old, with shoulder-length black hair and a youthful, beautiful face. But this face makes Ye Feng's heart tremble violently. This face completely overlaps with the face deep in his memory—isn't this his mother? Although she was younger than he remembered, Ye Feng was absolutely certain he wasn't mistaken. The maternal glow on her face convinced him this was definitely his mother. At the same time, Ye Feng noticed his body was very small, about the size of a three- or four-year-old child. Another thought began to form in his mind, but it was too unbelievable. He glanced to the side, and the calendar on the wall clearly confirmed it was all real. His suspicions were correct; he had truly been reborn. Joy instantly enveloped his heart.

Ye Feng turned over, looking at his mother's face. His mind gradually calmed down. He reached out and hugged his mother, feeling a warmth he hadn't experienced in over ten years. He was intoxicated by it, his heart filled with endless dependence, and he remembered his mother.

Her mother's name was Li Xinrou. She was exceptionally intelligent from a young age, but in those days, parents didn't value girls' education much; knowing a few characters was enough. Li Xinrou was no exception. After finishing primary school, she dropped out and went home to learn needlework. She had a natural talent, and with her skillful hands, her needlework soon became famous throughout the surrounding villages. Merchants vied to buy her work. After eight years of needlework at home, Li Xinrou accumulated considerable wealth for her family and grew increasingly beautiful, becoming the most beautiful girl in the area. True to her name, Li Xinrou was a very gentle girl, and with her skillful hands, men from all around were captivated. Many men came to the Li family every day to propose marriage, almost wearing down the threshold. However, Li Xinrou wasn't interested in any of them. Until one day, while washing clothes by the pond, she accidentally fell in and was rescued by Ye Gang, Ye Feng's father. From then on, Ye Gang's honest and kind nature moved Li Xinrou, and gradually... Li Xinrou fell in love with Ye Gang, who was also one of her admirers. Ye Gang was naturally overjoyed at his goddess's advances, and the two gradually became a couple. However, the Li family disapproved of their union, locking Li Xinrou in her room and preventing her from leaving. Despite her usually gentle and weak demeanor, Li Xinrou was exceptionally decisive when it came to marriage. To oppose her family's opinion, she even went on a hunger strike, refusing food and water for several days, leaving her extremely weak. The Li family was heartbroken, especially Li Xinrou herself. Sun Mei, Li Xinrou's mother, could no longer bear to see her daughter continue like this, so she pleaded with Li Dahai, Li Xinrou's father. Li Dahai was also helpless with this girl and could only tell her to give up her daughter. However, his daughter's decisiveness shocked him. Li Xinrou left the Li family after bowing three times and kowtowing nine times and married Ye Gang. In those days, marriages were arranged by parents. The news of Li Xinrou and Ye Gang's marriage spread throughout the surrounding villages and became a popular story. It also made many men who admired Li Xinrou feel regretful. So Li Xinrou married Ye Gang. Ye Gang was an only child, orphaned at a young age, and his family was destitute. But Li Xinrou didn't mind. She did needlework at home, while Ye Gang worked on construction sites. After a period of hard work, their financial situation gradually improved. They demolished their dilapidated brick house and built a three-story villa. Ye Gang was a kind and honest man, and Li Xinrou was gentle and considerate. The young couple were loving and happy. Soon after, Li Xinrou gave birth to Ye Feng. The Li family's attitude towards Li Xinrou improved, especially since Li Dahai was very satisfied with Ye Gang's honesty and kindness. The two families gradually became harmonious, and Li Xinrou gradually lived a happy life, thinking she would be happy forever. But fate is unpredictable. In an accident, Ye Gang died at the construction site, which broke Li Xinrou's heart. She was filled with endless worries about the future. How would this widow and orphan survive? She had considered remarrying, but for Ye Feng's sake, she gave up the idea and raised Ye Feng alone. The Li family pitied their daughter and would visit the mother and son from time to time. With Li Xinrou's needlework and a large sum of money from the construction site compensation, they managed to make ends meet. Ye Feng grew up slowly in this way. Having lost his father at a young age, Ye Feng was exceptionally withdrawn from childhood and deeply resented people's sympathy. Gradually, he embarked on a path of no return, learning to smoke, drink, fight, and so on. Eventually, he was expelled from school. Ye Feng clearly remembers the night he learned that his mother's black hair had turned white in an instant, which broke his heart. He instantly understood something, but it was all too late. Although he was determined to change himself, he could not persevere for various reasons. His mother, Li Xinrou, also died from exhaustion. Ye Feng then left the small village where he was born and raised and came to a strange city to struggle alone. Gradually, he became a notorious underworld boss, but he offended the wrong people and was challenged by the Heaven and Earth Society. His underlings left out of fear, and in the end, he and his only follower, Ye Bing, committed suicide.

Reflecting on his past life, Ye Feng was filled with emotion. The warmth of his mother's embrace intoxicated him. He had long since become indifferent to so-called loyalty and righteousness. Having lost something once, he naturally understood the value of cherishing it more. In this life, he was determined not to let tragedy repeat itself. He would strive to become a useful member of society, to make his mother proud, and not to cause her despair.

Looking

at his mother Li Xinrou's gentle smile as she slept, Ye Feng felt deeply content. He hadn't known how to cherish what he had in his past life; in this life, he would definitely make the most of it and never again betray her maternal love. After spending some time in her mother's arms, the warmth was truly intoxicating. A little while later, seeing that her mother was still asleep, she got out of bed, put on her shoes, and went to the mirror. Seeing herself in the mirror, four-year-old Ye Feng was exceptionally pretty, almost like a girl. She had short hair, and her smooth, jade-like face was free of the unsightly scar. Her eyes were bright and innocent. Wearing a loose-fitting doll-like outfit, she looked exceptionally pure and adorable, which pleased Ye Feng greatly.

Opening the door, a gentle breeze blew in, which Ye Feng found very pleasant. The bright sunlight shone into the courtyard, casting dappled shadows through the leaves. A breeze rustled the leaves, making the shadows under the trees more chaotic. Soon, the shadows disappeared. Looking at this scene, Ye Feng felt a pang of emotion. Wasn't she like that shadow under the tree in her past life, constantly doing things that harmed her family and society, hurting others while also hurting herself?

Walking along the country lane, watching the wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys, Ye Feng felt an unparalleled peace in his heart. All the strife and clamor had faded away. Having experienced so much in his past life, he now understood the meaning of his existence. In his previous life, he had a prestigious status, countless riches, and countless women. After losing them, Ye Feng understood that they were all fleeting. The most important thing in life was to protect those who were good to him and not betray their kindness. At the same time, he also understood that this society was an incredibly dark world, and only the strong could protect what they were meant to protect. Looking at the rising sun, Ye Feng felt reborn. The selfish, infamous "Brother Feng" was gone, leaving behind a young Ye Feng who existed solely to protect.

Walking along the road, he saw many people who had gotten up early to prepare for work. Everyone greeted Ye Feng, and Ye Feng responded to each one. The looks he had felt so disgusted with in his past life now felt incredibly warm. Everyone cared about him. In his past life, he hadn't known how to cherish them and had done many things that hurt them. Ye Feng felt immense regret. Looking at this backward little village, Ye Feng thought that he should work hard to change the situation and let everyone live a life that was no longer so hard. Ye Feng felt a greater weight on his shoulders, but he also felt very happy.

Walking slowly, Ye Feng unknowingly arrived at the elementary school. Although the school was very simple, the happy smiles on the faces of the students filled Ye Feng with emotion. In his previous life, he hadn't cherished his school days, often skipping classes and even getting into fights. Later, as he grew up and experienced more, Ye Feng felt a deep longing for those innocent school days. Now, Ye Feng had been reborn and could relive those school days, which made him very happy, and he was filled with anticipation for going back to school.

Looking at the sun, which was already high in the sky, Ye Feng felt it was about time to go back. Walking along the village path, Ye Feng looked at the vast fields of rapeseed flowers on both sides, their bright yellow color particularly pleasing to the eye. The faint fragrance wafted on the breeze, and Ye Feng's heart calmed down, soon becoming absorbed in the scenery.

After a while, Ye Feng felt his mother must be getting impatient waiting at home. He ran home, and his family's three-story house came into view, shimmering softly in the sunlight. Ye Feng felt an overwhelming sense of belonging and an urge to rush into his mother's arms. Looking closer, he saw his mother, Li Xinrou, anxiously waiting at the front door. Her worried expression deeply moved Ye Feng. He ran over and threw himself into her arms.

Perhaps he pushed too hard, because Ye Feng almost knocked his mother to the ground. Li Xinrou hugged him and smiled gently, saying, "Baby, don't push so hard! You almost knocked Mommy over." Ye Feng smiled back, his silvery laughter particularly melodious. Li Xinrou continued, "Baby, where did you go? Mommy was so worried!" Ye Feng hugged his mother's head and said with a smile, "I went to play. A lot of uncles greeted me on the way!" Li Xinrou was happy to hear Ye Feng say that. She kissed Ye Feng's smooth little face and said, "Baby, did you miss Mommy? I was so worried when you weren't here." Ye Feng kissed his mother's face and smiled, "Yes, I did! As soon as I saw Mommy, I ran over!" Li Xinrou was overjoyed to hear Ye Feng's answer. She kissed little Ye Feng's face again and smiled, "Baby, you're so good! Are you hungry? Come on, let's go eat." After saying that, Li Xinrou carried Ye Feng through the door, put him on a chair, and went into the kitchen. A little while later, she came out with breakfast and sat down with Ye Feng. The two of them began to eat.

Although it was just a simple farmhouse breakfast, it tasted really good, and Ye Feng ate with great enjoyment. Seeing Ye Feng eating so happily, Li Xinrou was also overjoyed. She added a few pastries to Ye Feng's bowl and smiled gently, saying, "Baby, eat more so you can grow up quickly." Hearing Li Xinrou's words, Ye Feng was deeply moved and replied, "Yes, I want to eat more and grow up quickly so I can protect Mommy!" Hearing Ye Feng's words, Li Xinrou was overjoyed, and tears instantly streamed down her face. Since her husband's death, she felt as if her world had collapsed, and her heart was completely devoted to little Ye Feng. Now, seeing her son so sensible, she was overjoyed. Seeing his mother's tears, Ye Feng reached out his little hand to wipe them away, saying, "Mommy, why are you crying? Don't cry, don't cry!" Seeing how sensible Ye Feng was, Li Xinrou hugged him tightly, saying, "Mommy isn't crying, I'm happy!" But tears kept flowing, forming two tear tracks on her smooth, jade-like face. Ye Feng naturally knew what was going on, and seeing his mother's moved expression, his resolve strengthened.

(Volume 1, Rebirth, Chapter 4: The First Pot of Gold)

Although Ye Feng's village was poor and backward, its education was quite renowned throughout the county. Not far from Ye Feng's home was a high school, albeit the fourth-best, with over two thousand students across all three grades. Given the backward transportation of that era, most students relied on bicycles for transportation during holidays and to school. The school only had a rudimentary parking lot and no dedicated repair facilities. Furthermore, the school only had holidays every two weeks. Ye Feng sensed a business opportunity in this situation.

Today is Friday of the second week, and it's also school holiday. Ye Feng woke up early, quietly got out of bed, put on his shoes, washed up, tidied his clothes in front of the mirror, and then took a piece of cardboard, a jar, and a small stool to go out for a rest.

A short while later, Ye Feng arrived at a house and knocked on the door. A gentle voice responded, and a woman of about forty years old came out. This was Ye Feng's Aunt Hua. From her still-charming face, it was easy to see the beauty she had in her youth. Like her mother, Aunt Hua's husband had also died on a construction site in recent years. However, her situation was better. Her only daughter was now twenty years old and a sophomore at a well-known university in the province. Because of her excellent grades, Aunt Hua's daughter received a generous scholarship every year. In addition, she worked part-time as a tutor at school, earning her own tuition and living expenses. She even had some surplus each month to send to her mother at home. Aunt Hua didn't have to worry about her studies. Aunt Hua's life was very leisurely. Apart from some farm work, she basically had nothing to do. She was also a very warm-hearted woman. When she had nothing to do, Aunt Hua would visit Ye Feng's house or take care of him. As a widow herself, she naturally understood the hardships of this widow and her child.

Seeing that it was Ye Feng, Aunt Hua was quite surprised. She hadn't expected this little guy to come looking for her. She smiled slightly and said, "It's Xiao Feng! What do you need from Aunt Hua?" Ye Feng smiled slightly and said, "Aunt Hua, could you lend me your air pump for a moment? I'll return it to you at breakfast!" Aunt Hua was quite surprised to hear this and said, "What do you need an air pump for? That's not something to play with." Ye Feng was a little embarrassed by Aunt Hua's question and stammered, "This...this...Aunt Hua, can I not tell you? Anyway, it's not for playing with." Aunt Hua obviously didn't expect Ye Feng to answer like this, but having visited her house so many times, she knew this little guy and knew that Ye Feng wasn't someone who would borrow air pumps for no reason. The person playing with the air pump didn't hesitate and laughed, "Oh! I didn't expect it to be so mysterious. Aunt Hua, I won't ask anymore. You wait here for a moment, I'll go get it for you." After saying that, Aunt Hua went into the house and came out a moment later with the air pump. She handed the air pump to Ye Feng and said, "Here, take it. No need to rush to return it." Ye Feng took the air pump and said to Aunt Hua, "Thank you, Aunt Hua! I'll return it when I eat. And please don't tell my mom, okay? It's our promise." After saying that, Ye Feng ran off with the air pump. Aunt Hua watched Ye Feng's departing figure, was surprised for a moment, then smiled slightly and murmured, "What's the little guy doing? Making it so mysterious, a promise, huh?"

Ye Feng jogged all the way to the gate of the high school. He placed the stool and can on the ground, sat down on the stool, and put the air pump aside. He hung a piece of cardboard on the gate behind him, on which a line of words was written crookedly in charcoal: "Dear brothers and sisters, if your tires are flat, you can come here to pump them up. One cent per tire."

A moment later, a clear bell rang. Ye Feng knew it was the sound of school letting out. Soon, students poured out, some in groups of three or five, some alone. They came out through a side door and noticed Ye Feng, especially the crooked, barely legible writing, which particularly attracted their attention. Gradually, some students approached him. When they learned that Ye Feng wanted to earn some pocket money this way, they were quite surprised. Unexpectedly, Ye Feng had learned to earn money at such a young age. People supported his efforts to earn his own pocket money, and gradually, some started using the air pump. Many students, especially the girls, were very concerned about Ye Feng's young age and wanted to give him more. Although Ye Feng was touched by their kindness, he returned the extra money to them. Of course, some girls tried to trick Ye Feng because of his young age, but Ye Feng's superior arithmetic skills proved them wrong, and they had to take the extra money back. Everyone admired Ye Feng's honesty and didn't try to take advantage of others, so they helped him in other ways. They asked their friends to use the air pump, even pumping pumps that were almost full or didn't need to be pumped. Ye Feng didn't refuse this indirect assistance.

Gradually, fewer and fewer students remained. After the last few said goodbye to Ye Feng, he packed up his stall, picked up a small jar filled with loose change, and sat there counting it for a long time before finally figuring out the amount of money in the jar—about a hundred yuan. This high school had about two thousand students, and roughly a thousand of them owned bicycles. Based on the money in the jar, about half of them had used the pump. Ye Feng gained a deeper understanding of the students' kindness. Thinking back to his past life as a social pest, constantly harming these kind people, he felt immense remorse and resolved to be a good person. Even if he couldn't benefit society, he would at least be a useful person. Looking at the hundred yuan he had earned himself, Ye Feng felt that the social pest "Brother Feng" was completely gone, leaving behind a Ye Feng who had worked hard with his own hands. Thinking of this, his eyes gradually blurred, and tears streamed down his face.

Volume 1 Rebirth Chapter 5 Mother's Touching Moment

Ye Feng walked into the small restaurant next to the school and said to the uncle in the kitchen, "Uncle Fan, five yuan's worth of steamed buns and three bowls of porridge, please." This man, whom Ye Feng called Uncle Fan, was actually named Fan Tong. As his name suggested, he was broad and stout, with a lot of fat on his body, which might be related to his profession. Although he always claimed that his ancestors were imperial chefs and that he was the true descendant of imperial chefs, everyone took it as just boasting. However, his cooking skills were quite good, especially his steamed buns and millet porridge, which tasted incredibly good. In addition, he was warm-hearted and down-to-earth. The food he sold was both economical and delicious, and there were never any hygiene or safety issues. Although this small restaurant was small, it was quite famous in the area, especially among the students of the school. The name "Imperial Chef Fan" became widely known. Hearing someone buying something, Fan Tong turned around and saw Ye Feng. He greeted him warmly, "It's Xiao Feng! What brings you here? Just a moment, it'll be ready soon." After saying that, he added some fuel to the stove, wiped his hands on his apron, took out several plastic bags, and took twenty-five small steamed buns from the fragrant steamer. He divided them into two portions, fifteen in one and ten in the other, and handed them to Ye Feng. Then, he used three small paper bowls to scoop three portions of porridge from a pot, sealed them in plastic bags, and handed them to Ye Feng. However, Ye Feng had too many things in his hands and said to Fan Tong, "Uncle Fan, shall I put the stool here? It's really..." "I can't carry any more, I'll come back for it later." Fan Tong agreed without hesitation, responding warmly, "Don't worry about leaving it with me!" Ye Feng smiled slightly at Fan Tong and said, "Goodbye, Uncle Fan!" Fan Tong responded warmly, "Xiao Feng, take care on your journey! Come again next time!"

Arriving at Aunt Hua's courtyard gate, he gently knocked. After a while, a gentle response came out, and then Aunt Hua came out. Ye Feng handed the air pump to Aunt Hua, saying, "Aunt Hua, here's the air pump back. As payment, I'll give you these." After saying that, Ye Feng handed over the plastic bag containing ten steamed buns and a bowl of porridge. Aunt Hua took the air pump without even looking at it, then opened the plastic bag and saw some steamed buns and a bowl of porridge. She was quite surprised and quickly asked, "Xiao Feng, where did you get the money to buy steamed buns and porridge?" Ye Feng was very touched by Aunt Hua's words and smiled slightly at her, saying, "Aunt Hua, don't worry, I earned it myself. Today is the day the students at No. 4 Middle School are on holiday, so I took the air pump and rented it out. One cent per bicycle tire. Look, this is what I earned this morning." After saying this, he handed Aunt Hua the jar full of loose change. Seeing the jar full of loose change, Aunt Hua felt relieved, but also quite surprised. Seeing that Ye Feng, at such a young age, already knew how to make money, and even earned over a hundred in the morning, Aunt Hua smiled and said, "Is that so! I'm relieved. I didn't expect you to be so smart, Xiao Feng. Xin Rou is so lucky. I don't need this air pump, you can take it. You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Want to eat something here?" Ye Feng smiled slightly and said, "No, Aunt Hua, I should go back now. My mother must have been waiting for me at home for a long time." After saying that, he took small steps and left. Watching Ye Feng's receding figure, Aunt Hua was filled with emotion. She didn't expect Ye Feng to be so sensible at such a young age. When she was his age, she was just learning to remember things. Xin Rou's daughter is so lucky!

Ye Feng saw his mother standing at the door looking this way from afar. The anxiety on her face moved him deeply, and he felt a warm feeling lingering in his heart. Ye Feng ran over to her.

Li Xinrou had just gotten up when she noticed Ye Feng wasn't there. He'd probably gone for his run. Li Xinrou was used to Ye Feng going for his run every morning. After making breakfast, she checked the time; it was already eight o'clock. Ye Feng still hadn't returned. She felt anxious, unable to bear the worry any longer. Having lost her husband, Ye Feng was her everything. She couldn't help but miss him even for a short time, let alone so long. Just as she was about to go out to look for him, she saw her son returning with a large pile of things. She quickly went to greet him, starting from Ye Feng's... Taking the things from her hands, Li Xinrou said to Ye Feng, "Baby, where have you been? Mom was so worried!" Ye Feng smiled slightly and said, "Mom, let's go inside and talk first." Li Xinrou nodded, led Ye Feng into the house, put the things down, and said to Ye Feng, "Alright, now tell me what you did this morning? You were being so secretive." Ye Feng nodded after hearing his mother's words, and then told his mother about his experiences that morning, including borrowing an air pump from Aunt Hua, setting up a stall at the school gate, and buying breakfast from Uncle Fan. Wait a minute, as Li Xinrou listened to Ye Feng's story, tears instantly streamed down her face. She hugged Ye Feng tightly, her heart filled with emotion. Although she had lost her husband, having a sensible son made her feel incredibly happy. She cried as she said, "Baby, you don't need to be like this. We already have plenty of money; it's enough for your schooling." Hearing his mother say this, Ye Feng reached out his little hand to wipe away his mother's tears and said firmly, "Dad is gone. As the man of the family, I must protect this family. As a man, I can't keep relying on Mom's money." Hearing Ye Feng say this, Li Xinrou was amused and chuckled, saying, "Alright, little man, let's go eat." Ye Feng washed his hands and returned to the dining room. Breakfast was already laid out on the table: a simple breakfast his mother had made, as well as steamed buns and porridge that Ye Feng had bought. Li Xinrou helped Ye Feng to a chair, and the two began to eat. Li Xinrou kept putting food on Ye Feng's plate, and Ye Feng felt a deep warmth in her heart, making him even more determined to cherish and protect this warmth.

Volume 1 Rebirth Chapter 6 Studying Medicine

Although Ye Feng's village was somewhat backward, it boasted a small clinic renowned throughout the surrounding villages and even the entire county. As Ye Feng walked down the street, a faint scent of herbs wafted over. A thought stirred within him: the image of his mother dying from exhaustion in his previous life was still etched deep in his memory. If only his medical skills had been superior, his mother wouldn't have passed away so young. This gave him a deeper appreciation for life.

Following the herbal scent, Ye Feng entered the clinic. An elderly man, around eighty years old, wearing reading glasses, was reading a book. Few people knew his name; everyone only knew him as Ye. His medical skills were exceptional, making him famous in the surrounding area. Coupled with his charitable nature and low fees, he enjoyed a high reputation in the villages. People would come to him for any minor ailment.

Although he was over eighty years old, he was still very healthy. Hearing footsteps, Grandpa Ye looked up, took off his reading glasses, and smiled kindly when he saw Ye Feng. "It's you! Xiao Feng, is there something you need from Grandpa?" Ye Feng greatly admired Grandpa Ye. Putting aside his medical skills, his medical ethics were also very high. Ye Feng vaguely remembered the scene when his mother was seriously ill and Grandpa Ye did his best to save her. After hearing Grandpa Ye's words, Ye Feng smiled slightly and said, "Grandpa Ye, can I learn medicine from you?" After saying that, he looked at Grandpa Ye with hopeful eyes. Grandpa Ye was quite surprised to hear Ye Feng's words. He was over eighty years old, and although he was still in good health, he knew that his days were numbered. Having lived for so long, he had become indifferent to life and death. He wasn't afraid of death itself, but he was worried about the lack of successors to his medical skills. He had been concerned about this matter recently, and he hadn't expected Ye Feng to come to him on his own initiative. He could tell at a glance that this child had good comprehension and was quite suitable for studying medicine, which made him very happy. However, he didn't agree immediately, but said seriously, "Is that so? Tell me first, what is your purpose in wanting to study medicine?" When Ye Feng heard Grandpa Ye ask this, scenes of his struggles in the underworld in his previous life flashed through his mind, deepening his understanding of life. He also said seriously, "To save more people!!" It was just a simple sentence, but Ye Feng spoke with extraordinary determination. Grandpa Ye was quite surprised to hear Ye Feng's answer. He hadn't expected Ye Feng to have such insights at such a young age. Seeing the determination in Ye Feng's eyes, Grandpa Ye was greatly pleased and let out a hearty laugh. However, perhaps due to his age, the laughter soon turned into a violent cough. Ye Feng quickly ran over and patted him hard on the back. Grandpa Ye's cough gradually subsided, and his eyes were full of praise as he said kindly, "Good! Since you have such determination, I will accept you as my apprentice. I hope you will fulfill the duties of a doctor..." "The responsibility of life." Upon hearing this, Ye Feng was overjoyed and was about to kneel down to perform the apprenticeship ceremony, but was stopped by Grandpa Ye. Grandpa Ye said kindly, "You don't need to perform those formalities, and you don't need to call me master. Just call me Grandpa Ye as usual." After hearing Grandpa Ye's words, Ye Feng gained a deeper understanding of him. He had originally thought that Grandpa Ye, being so old, must be an old fogey, but he didn't expect this. He quickly said, "Grandpa Ye!" Grandpa Ye was very happy to hear Ye Feng call him that and quickly responded.

Next, Grandpa Ye taught Ye Feng the most basic things, showing him how to recognize various common herbs: Tianqi (Panax notoginseng), wolfberry, and so on. Of course, Ye Feng was still young, and Grandpa Ye didn't expect him to remember them all; just a general impression would suffice for future lessons. After explaining about several dozen herbs, Grandpa Ye stopped and asked kindly, "Little Feng, I just told you about several dozen herbs. How many did you remember?" Grandpa Ye thought Ye Feng could probably only remember a few, or even none at all, since the descriptions of each herb were quite long, including its appearance, growing location, medicinal properties, contraindications, etc. It was normal not to remember them all. However, Ye Feng's answer surprised him greatly. Ye Feng replied, "Grandpa Ye, I've remembered almost all of them." Hearing this, Grandpa Ye stroked his white beard with his left hand and said kindly, "Oh, I see! Tell me about the herbs you remembered, and I'll check if there are any mistakes. It's better if you don't remember them all; if you do, that's fine." "Something bad will happen." Hearing his grandfather say this, Ye Feng understood and nodded. He then recited all the herbs he remembered, just as his grandfather had instructed. Grandpa Ye was initially full of praise, but as he listened, he became increasingly astonished. He hadn't expected Ye Feng to have such a good memory, which delighted him. Much of learning traditional Chinese medicine relies on memory—the meridians, acupoints, herbs, disease diagnosis, and so on. Ye Feng's excellent memory meant he could spend less time on these areas and have more time for practice. This was undoubtedly a great talent for studying medicine, and he had high hopes for Ye Feng's future medical achievements. Stroking his beard, he said admiringly, "Little Feng, your memory is excellent. This is undoubtedly an advantage in studying medicine. You will definitely surpass your grandfather in the future, but don't be arrogant." Then, Grandpa Ye carefully explained the herbs Ye Feng couldn't remember, which Ye Feng quickly memorized, making Grandpa Ye very happy.

Time passed slowly as Grandpa Ye explained and Ye Feng diligently memorized the information. Soon it was lunchtime. Grandpa Ye stopped and said, "Alright, that's enough for now. It's lunchtime. Why don't you eat with me here?" Ye Feng shook his head and said, "No, Grandpa Ye, Mom might be waiting at home for a long time. I have to go back." Grandpa Ye was a little disappointed to hear this, but still said kindly, "Oh, okay! Then go back first. Remember to consolidate what you've memorized when you get back. You can come back here when you have time." Ye Feng nodded, said goodbye, and left. Watching Ye Feng's receding figure, Grandpa Ye was full of admiration for him and anticipation for his future medical achievements. He seemed to see Ye Feng walking towards a bright future.

Volume 1 Rebirth Chapter 7 Going Up the Mountain (Part 1)

Because Ye Feng's place was relatively underdeveloped, many things were well preserved. For example, the mountain behind the village, about two thousand meters high, was named "White Cloud Mountain" because the white mist at its summit could be seen from its foot. White Cloud Mountain was the highest mountain in the area, and some of the firewood for the surrounding villages came from it. However, everyone cherished this mountain that had protected the village for hundreds of years. Aside from occasionally cutting firewood and picking wild fruits, they never cut down trees indiscriminately. The original landscape has been completely preserved, and precious medicinal herbs grow in the dense jungle. However, transportation was extremely inconvenient in those days, and people didn't pay much attention to these herbs. Moreover, the dense jungle was fraught with unknown dangers, such as venomous snakes and wild beasts. Apart from a few doctors, few people harvested them, and even then, they didn't go very high, at most five or six hundred meters. Going higher was impossible. As a result, those precious medicinal herbs were well preserved, some even hundreds or thousands of years old, making them absolutely priceless.

Recently, Li Xinrou learned that her son was learning medicine from Grandpa Ye, which she strongly supported. However, today she was extremely worried. Grandpa Ye was taking her baby up the mountain for practical teaching; how could she not be worried? After helping Ye Feng pack his bags, Li Xinrou said with concern, "Baby, why don't you not go? It's too dangerous up in the mountains!" Ye Feng knew his mother was worried about him, which touched him deeply, but he still said, "I already promised Grandpa Ye, how can I not go? A man should keep his word. Besides, Uncle Li is here, Mom, you don't need to worry, nothing will happen."

It turned out that Ye Feng had memorized most of the common medicinal herbs in the past few days, and Grandpa Ye, seeing this, was preparing to take him up the mountain to learn more. Just then, a man surnamed Li from the village was going up the mountain to collect firewood, and Grandpa Ye intended to have him take him and Ye Feng along. This man surnamed Li was also a kind-hearted person. When he saw Grandpa Ye come to his door and understood his purpose, he did not refuse and readily agreed. He greatly admired Grandpa Ye, especially his medical ethics.

When Li Xinrou heard that her son wanted to go up the mountain, her first reaction was naturally to object. Now that she had no husband, her son was her only family. What would happen if something happened to him? Ye Feng had expected his mother's reaction and was deeply moved. However, he still persuaded his mother to agree. After a night of persuasion, Li Xinrou slowly accepted it. Early this morning, after having breakfast with her son, she helped him pack his backpack, putting in things like insect repellent and mosquito repellent. Ye Feng watched from the side and couldn't help but smile wryly. This wasn't going up the mountain; it was practically going camping! Deeply moved, Ye Feng said to Li Xinrou, "It's only been half a day up the mountain, I'll be back soon, no need to prepare so much." He then took out all the insect repellent. Hearing her son's words, Li Xinrou quickly replied, "It's never a bad thing to prepare more, just in case something unexpected happens." After saying this, she put the things Ye Feng had taken out back in. Ye Feng felt helpless and could only let his mother prepare his backpack. Standing quietly to the side, watching his mother's worried expression as she prepared it, Ye Feng felt a surge of emotion and warmth in his heart, and his resolve to protect this relationship strengthened. Finally, the backpack was packed. Li Xinrou looked at the bulging backpack and the overflowing items beside it, and sighed, "The backpack is too small, it can't hold all of this." Hearing his mother say this, Ye Feng was speechless; the backpack was already quite large. Li Xinrou helped Ye Feng put on his backpack. Ye Feng felt it; it was quite heavy, probably around twenty pounds. Fortunately, Ye Feng usually paid great attention to exercising, so he could bear the weight. The two arrived at the gate, and after Li Xinrou tidied Ye Feng's clothes, she said to him with concern, "Baby, you must take good care of yourself after you go up the mountain, okay? If you encounter any emergencies, you must stay close to Uncle Li, okay?" Ye Feng had heard his mother say this many times before, but he didn't find it annoying. He was deeply moved and smiled slightly at Li Xinrou, reassuring her, "Don't worry, Mom, nothing will happen. Even if I encounter lions or tigers, they won't eat me when they see how little meat I am. Besides, I run so fast, I'll definitely come back safely." Hearing her son say this, Li Xinrou chuckled, feeling slightly relieved. She playfully scolded him, "You little rascal!" Hearing his mother's words, Ye Feng knew she wasn't so worried anymore. He said goodbye to his mother and left. Li Xinrou watched her son's departing figure, her heart filled with worry, yet she couldn't stop him. She could only silently help him from the sidelines. Thinking of this, her heart ached; her son had suffered so much for this family. Tears streamed down her face, forming two faint tear tracks.

Ye Feng arrived at Grandpa Ye's clinic, the agreed-upon meeting place. From afar, he saw Grandpa Ye and a robust man waiting there. Ye Feng hurried over, and after exchanging pleasantries, they set off. Along the way, the man surnamed Li was exceptionally talkative, frequently conversing with Grandpa Ye. Ye Feng listened quietly, occasionally interjecting a word or two. Despite being over eighty years old, Grandpa Ye was in excellent health. Climbing mountains was no problem for him, but he would sweat and tire after a while. Ye Feng helped him, which earned high praise from the man surnamed Li and Grandpa Ye. Ye Feng blushed deeply, and the two men burst into hearty laughter, which echoed loudly in the quiet forest. (

Volume 1 Rebirth Chapter 7 Climbing the Mountain (Part 2))

Although Ye Feng supported him and the man surnamed Li helped him from time to time, Grandpa Ye's health was really failing. After walking for a while, he was panting heavily, and everyone had to stop and rest for a while. This made Grandpa Ye realize how old he was. And so they continued on, resting and dawdling along the way. The traces of human activity on the path lessened, and dense forests began to appear before them. They could spot the small animals of the mountains more easily, such as a rabbit suddenly darting out of the woods, or a snake as thick as a thumb hanging from a branch. Of course, they also saw common medicinal herbs. Grandpa Ye frequently explained the herbs they encountered to Ye Feng, while the man listened attentively, perhaps memorizing the uses of common herbs for future use. Seeing the man and Ye Feng listening attentively, Grandpa Ye became even more focused in his explanation. They stopped whenever they encountered different herbs, listening to Grandpa Ye's explanations. They walked and stopped intermittently, passing through many dense thickets, until they arrived at a grove almost no one had ever been before. The man surnamed Li glanced at the grove and smiled at Grandpa Ye, saying, "Grandpa Ye, shall we stop here? I'll chop some firewood, and you can teach Xiao Feng about the herbs. You can call me if you need anything." Grandpa Ye stroked his white beard and said kindly, "Thank you for your trouble!" The man surnamed Li quickly replied, "How could it be trouble? You go ahead with your work. You can call me if you need anything; I'm nearby." The villagers were very particular about chopping firewood; they never chopped in one place, and they didn't cut down even very small trees, perhaps so they could grow back quickly? After seeing the man surnamed Li go off to chop firewood, Grandpa Ye picked up a branch from the ground and smiled kindly at Ye Feng, saying, "Little Feng, come on, I'll teach you about herbs." Ye Feng responded and quickly followed.

Under the large trees grew clumps of shrubs, and beneath the shrubs grew various kinds of herbaceous plants. Most of the herbs belonged to the herbaceous family. Grandpa Ye led Ye Feng to a patch of grass and tapped it a few times with the branch. Many shade-loving animals were startled and ran out of the grass. Grandpa Ye and Ye Feng stood aside, and after seeing that no more animals came out, Grandpa Ye tapped the grass a few more times until no more animals appeared. Then he explained to Ye Feng, "When you come across a patch of grass, never go up and look through it directly. Those animals might bite you if they get startled. You have to chase the animals away like I did just now, understand?" Ye Feng nodded, indicating that he understood. Grandpa Ye led Ye Feng up to the grass. They found many common herbs growing quietly there, including a ginseng root with vibrant green leaves, indicating its healthy growth. Grandpa Ye pointed to each herb and explained various aspects to Ye Feng, including their growth habits, appearance, taste, medicinal properties, and contraindications. When he talked about the taste, he even picked a leaf and tasted it. Ye Feng followed Grandpa Ye's example, picking a small leaf and gently tasting it. Compared to what he already knew, his memory of the herb deepened. However, when talking about ginseng, Grandpa Ye told Ye Feng a simple method to determine its age. Ginseng roots grow numerous small tubercles (or basal vessels) on their stems, usually one per year. The denser the tubercles, the older the ginseng. This eliminates the need to pull the ginseng out to check its thickness. The ginseng in front of Ye Feng had very few tubercles, indicating it had only grown for a few years. Grandpa Ye then took a hoe from his medicine basket and gently removed a layer of soil. Ye Feng could see that the ginseng was very thin, only about the thickness of his little finger. He had learned this method of age determination. Grandpa Ye then covered the exposed ginseng with soil, allowing it to grow properly.

Time passed quickly as Grandpa Ye explained. A thick bundle of firewood had accumulated beside the man surnamed Li. Wiping the sweat from his brow, the man looked at the sky; it was almost lunchtime. He called out to Grandpa Ye, "Grandpa Ye, it's lunchtime! Let's rest for a while and talk more after lunch!" Hearing this, Grandpa Ye led Ye Feng over. Lunch was simple, all brought from home, and the drinks were even simpler. On the way, they came across a mountain spring with sweet and delicious water, so everyone filled their own containers with some. Compared to the lunch that Ye Feng's mother had carefully prepared, the man surnamed Li's lunch seemed particularly meager, consisting of just a few rice balls made with pickled vegetables. Ye Feng felt a pang of sadness seeing this and gained a deeper understanding of the poverty in the small village. He resolved to change this backward situation on his own. After seeing the man surnamed Li finish his rice balls in a few bites, Ye Feng shared some of his lunch with him, which the man accepted without hesitation. Grandpa Ye, seeing Ye Feng's actions, stroked his white beard, his eyes full of admiration, and gained a deeper understanding of his disciple's character.

After lunch, everyone rested in the woods for a while. The temperature in the woods was just right, the tall trees blocked the direct sunlight, and a gentle breeze blew from time to time. Ye Feng felt very comfortable, his eyelids started to droop, and he fell asleep without realizing it. When Grandpa Ye saw Ye Feng's sleepy appearance, he didn't disturb him. He took out a book from his medicine basket and found a clean place to read.

When Ye Feng woke up, Grandpa Ye put the book back in the medicine basket and said kindly, "Little Feng, you're awake." Ye Feng smiled apologetically and said to Grandpa Ye, "Grandpa Ye, I'm sorry, I fell asleep." Hearing this, Grandpa Ye stroked his beard and said with kind eyes, "It's alright, children are often sleepy." Ye Feng looked around and saw a thick pile of firewood next to the man surnamed Li, knowing it was getting late.

After a while, just like in the morning, Grandpa Ye continued teaching Ye Feng about herbs, while the man chopped firewood alone. Time passed quickly, and the man surnamed Li finished chopping wood and sat down to wait. When Grandpa Ye felt the chopping stop, he looked back and saw that the man had finished chopping wood. He said to Ye Feng, "Alright, that's enough for today. We should go back." Hearing this, Ye Feng nodded and followed Grandpa Ye to the man's place. After preparing, they went down the mountain.

Although going up the mountain is easier than going down, going down is much less strenuous. Ye Feng helped Grandpa Ye, while the man surnamed Li carried two large loads of firewood. They reached the foot of the mountain in less than half the time it took to climb it. At a fork in the road, the man surnamed Li said goodbye to the two men and left. Not far from Ye Feng's house, Grandpa Ye said kindly to Ye Feng, "Alright, go back now. Remember to review what you learned today." Ye Feng nodded and smiled, "Grandpa Ye, shall I take you back? It's so close anyway." Hearing this, Grandpa Ye's eyes filled with appreciation. He stroked his white beard and said kindly, "Go back now. Mom must be getting impatient waiting at home. Besides, I'm not so old that I can't walk. I can manage this short distance." Ye Feng said goodbye to Grandpa Ye and left. Grandpa Ye watched Ye Feng's small figure disappear from sight, stroked his white beard, and looked on with satisfaction.

Ye Feng saw his mother standing at the door waiting for him from afar. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her, making her look as if she were plated with gold, making her exceptionally dazzling. Ye Feng was deeply moved and ran towards his mother.

Volume 1 Rebirth Chapter 8 Recognizing an Older Sister

Today was another Friday of the bi-weekly period. As usual, Ye Feng got up early, washed up, and went to the school gate to set up his stall. Because Ye Feng set up his stall every bi-weekly Friday, he had accumulated a considerable amount of wealth and expanded his business considerably. He bought five air pumps with his own money, making a total of six with Aunt Hua's original pumps. With more people using the pumps at the same time, his income naturally increased significantly. On average, he could earn about 150 yuan each morning. Although Ye Feng was very rich in his previous life, even able to spend hundreds of thousands in one night, he now felt that money was incredibly dirty. Only money he earned himself, money from a respectable source, felt comfortable using. Over time, Ye Feng found carrying the equipment back and forth too troublesome, so he left the air pump, cardboard, and stool with Uncle Fan Tong. Uncle Fan Tong, having known for some time, also appreciated Ye Feng earning his own money every other Friday and didn't mind. So, every other Friday, Ye Feng would get up early, grab his canister, and head out. Uncle Fan Tong's stall was already open; it was school day, and students had gone straight from morning self-study without having eaten breakfast, making the small restaurant exceptionally busy. Uncle Fan Tong didn't want to miss such a rare opportunity. After greeting him, Ye Feng set up his stall with the air pump, stool, and cardboard.

Because Ye Feng had set up his stall there many times, people gradually learned about his story and greatly admired his self-reliant efforts, patronizing his business. As usual, Ye Feng sat at the school gate. Soon the bell rang, and students on holiday flocked out. Upon seeing Ye Feng, many students greeted him warmly, and Ye Feng responded to each one. He was filled with admiration for these kind students. Gradually, Ye Feng's stall became busier, and the money in the jar increased rapidly. At this moment, Ye Feng noticed a beautiful older woman. After rummaging in her pockets a few times, she looked embarrassed. Ye Feng immediately understood what was wrong; she must have forgotten her money. He smiled slightly at her and said, "Sister, you don't have any money, do you? Never mind, I won't take yours." Upon hearing this, the woman quickly shook her head and replied, "How can you do that? Earning money isn't easy for you. How about this, I'll help you collect the money? You can't manage alone." Hearing this, Ye Feng quickly shook his head and refused. Seeing Ye Feng shake his head, the woman smiled slightly and said, "Don't you trust me? Otherwise, why wouldn't you let me help?" Hearing this, Ye Feng had no choice but to agree. His reason for refusing her offer wasn't that he was afraid she would steal his money; he simply didn't want to trouble this woman. The woman was delighted when Ye Feng agreed and joined the stall, helping him collect the money. With her help, Ye Feng's business boomed, and more boys came to use the pump. Ye Feng vaguely heard some boys whispering among themselves; it seemed this woman was quite famous at school! After

the last few students returned the pumps, Ye Feng packed up his stall. Looking at the money in the small container, he counted it briefly—about three hundred yuan. Ye Feng smiled slightly at the woman and said, "Sister, because of you, I earned twice as much this morning as usual. To thank you for your help, I'll give you half." Upon hearing this, the woman's eyes lit up with surprise; she was quite shocked that Ye Feng would share half with her. She smiled slightly and said, "How can I do that?" "You earned it yourself, it has nothing to do with me. And don't call me 'sister' anymore. My name is Shen Peihan, you can call me Sister Han."

Hearing Shen Peihan say this, Ye Feng didn't insist, and smiled slightly at her, saying, "Sister Han, my name is Ye Feng, Ye as in maple leaf, Feng as in maple leaf, you can just call me Xiao Feng." Hearing Ye Feng introduce himself like this, Shen Peihan chuckled and said, "Xiao Feng, you're so cute." Hearing Shen Peihan's comment, Ye Feng blushed deeply, his embarrassed expression incredibly adorable. Seeing Ye Feng's blush, Shen Peihan laughed even louder, her melodious laughter making Ye Feng feel even more awkward. After a while, Shen Peihan stopped laughing, and Ye Feng's expression returned to normal. He said to her, "Sister Han, let me treat you to breakfast. Order whatever you like, I'll pay." Hearing Ye Feng say this, Shen Peihan teased, "Yeah! Little Feng is rich now, I definitely won't skimp on your money." Ye Feng held up his piggy bank, showing off, and said to Shen Peihan, "Yeah, I, Ye Feng, am rich now too." After Ye Feng finished speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, feeling that their relationship had become even closer.

Upon arriving at the small restaurant, Ye Feng put down his stall, and the two sat facing each other. Ye Feng called out to Fan Tong, who was busy in the kitchen, "Uncle Fan, a basket of steamed buns and two bowls of porridge, please." Fan Tong turned around and, not seeing Ye Feng and a girl, responded warmly, "It's you! Xiao Feng, wait a moment, it'll be ready soon." A short while later, Fan Tong returned with a basket of steaming hot steamed buns and two bowls of porridge. Ye Feng smiled slightly and said, "The steamed buns here are quite good, why don't you try some?" Hearing Ye Feng's words, Shen Peihan picked up a steamed bun with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth, chewing it gently and elegantly. Soon, she began to praise it highly, surprised that the food in such a small restaurant was so delicious. As they ate breakfast, the two gradually began to chat, gaining a deeper understanding of each other. Ye Feng learned that Shen Peihan was a freshman in college, and her family lived in a small village in a neighboring town. Besides her, her parents and grandparents lived with her. Shen Peihan learned that Ye Feng was only four years old, and his family consisted only of his mother. She felt sympathy for his situation, but she greatly admired his resilience. She was especially impressed when she heard that Ye Feng was learning medicine from an old man; her eyes lit up with admiration.

After finishing breakfast, Shen Peihan glanced at the wall clock; it was already eight o'clock, and it was time to go home. She said to Ye Feng, "Xiao Feng, it's getting late. I should go home, or my family will be worried." Although reluctant, Ye Feng smiled and said goodbye to Shen Peihan. After watching her disappear into the restaurant, Ye Feng bought ten steamed buns and a bowl of porridge, carrying them towards home, thinking that his mother must be anxiously waiting.

Book 1 Rebirth Chapter 9 Going to School

In the blink of an eye, Ye Feng had been reborn for half a year. During this time, Ye Feng studied medicine with his grandfather every day and memorized almost all the herbs. His grandfather then taught him how to use each prescription. Gradually, Ye Feng understood these prescriptions. His grandfather was very pleased to see this, but he did not continue to explain anything new to Ye Feng. The memory of those herbs and prescriptions needed to be consolidated, and the best way was through practice. So he asked Ye Feng to prepare medicine for everyone according to the prescriptions. At first, everyone was surprised by this small figure in the clinic, but as time went on, everyone got used to it.

Today was Ye Feng's registration day. He got up early and went out, running a lap around the village along the paths. He had always been consistent in his exercise routine. As long as the roads were dry and it wasn't a day for street vendors, he would go for a run every morning. Having experienced the harsh realities of society, he naturally understood the importance of health. The morning air was very fresh, especially in this unpolluted countryside, which was very beneficial to his health. Ye Feng jogged slowly along the country lanes, looking at the rural scenery, feeling very comfortable and his heart calmed down. Along the way, he encountered many people who were up early working, and they all greeted him, which he returned to.

After finishing his run, he returned home to find his mother, Li Xinrou, had already prepared breakfast. Although she was used to her son getting up early every morning to run, waiting for him had also become a habit. After making breakfast, she waited for her son's return at the door. Ye Feng was deeply moved by this, and that warm feeling lingered in his heart.

From afar, Ye Feng saw his mother standing at the door waiting for him. He quickly ran over and threw himself into her arms. Although Ye Feng was over thirty years old in both his lives, he still couldn't forget his mother's affection. Li Xinrou held her son, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and gently asked, "Baby, are you tired?" Her voice was so gentle, giving him boundless warmth that reached Ye Feng's heart. Ye Feng smiled sweetly and said, "Mom, I'm not tired! Did you miss me?" Li Xinrou smiled slightly and said softly, "Of course I did! Are you hungry? Come on, let's go inside and eat." After saying that, she carried Ye Feng into the house.

After they finished breakfast, Li Xinrou tidied Ye Feng's clothes and smiled gently at him, saying, "Baby, today is the first day of school. You'll be going to school in a couple of days. Remember to get along well with your classmates!" Ye Feng naturally answered quickly. Hearing Ye Feng's reply, Li Xinrou was overjoyed and gave him a quick kiss on his smooth little face.

Li Xinrou led Ye Feng to the village primary school. The schoolyard was packed with people, a sea of faces. Some were older students registering alone, while others, like Ye Feng, were accompanied by their parents. Although most of them were accompanied by both parents, Ye Feng wasn't envious. Although he didn't have a father, he had a wonderful mother.

The woman who greeted Li Xinrou and Ye Feng to register was a woman in her early twenties. She was very beautiful, with long black hair styled in a bun, bangs framing her forehead, and black glasses perched on her nose. Her eyes were bright and intelligent, and her pretty oval face made her look exceptionally beautiful. Ye Feng noticed that many men were secretly watching her, but what caught Ye Feng's attention even more was the student-like air about her. She was probably a college graduate who had just graduated and was teaching here.

Seeing Ye Feng and Li Xinrou arrive to register, the older sister was very enthusiastic, introducing herself with a smile: "My name is Jiang Chuxia, you can just call me Teacher Jiang. You're here to register, right?" Li Xinrou smiled slightly and said softly, "Hello, Teacher Jiang, my name is Li Xinrou. This is my son, Ye Feng. Xiao Feng, quickly say hello to Teacher Jiang." The last sentence was addressed to Ye Feng. Hearing his mother say this, Ye Feng smiled sweetly and said, "Hello, Teacher Jiang!" Hearing Ye Feng say this, Jiang Chuxia seemed particularly happy. Ye Feng had made a very good first impression on her. This little guy was very handsome, especially his bright eyes, which left a deep impression on her. She took out a piece of candy from her pocket and handed it to Ye Feng, smiling slightly and saying, "Xiao Feng is so good, have some candy!" It seemed she had put a lot of effort into getting along with the children.

Elementary school registration was very simple; you just filled in the student's basic information and paid the fee. Soon, the registration ceremony was complete. Jiang Chuxia folded the receipt and handed it to Li Xinrou, smiling slightly, "Alright, just have Xiaofeng come to school the day after tomorrow!" Hearing this, Li Xinrou said softly, "Thank you for your trouble, Teacher Jiang!" Jiang Chuxia quickly shook her head, saying, "How is it troublesome? It's what I should do." Hearing this, Li Xinrou smiled gently, "Teacher Jiang, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now. You continue with your work. Xiaofeng, say goodbye to Teacher Jiang." Hearing her mother say this, Ye Feng smiled sweetly at Jiang Chuxia and said, "Goodbye, Teacher Jiang!" Hearing Ye Feng say this, Teacher Jiang quickly replied, "Goodbye, Xiaofeng! Remember to listen to your mother." Ye Feng waved to Jiang Chuxia and smiled, "Okay!" After saying that, Ye Feng left with her mother.

Ye Feng and his mother walked along the road, making plans for his schooling. The village primary school operated on a two-day weekend, with seven classes a day from Monday to Friday—four in the morning and three in the afternoon. In addition to the two main subjects—Chinese and Mathematics—there were also several recreational courses, such as music, art, and physical education. These were no challenge for him at all, so he naturally wouldn't waste his time on them. He had already decided to use his time in primary school to preview the courses for higher grades, then take the college entrance examination as soon as possible, apply to a good medical school, and find a good job to take good care of his mother.

The

day after registering, primary school officially started, which meant that Ye Feng would be like the other students in the village, carrying his schoolbag to school every morning and going home with his classmates in the afternoon. This morning, Ye Feng got up early, brushed his teeth and washed his face as usual, and ran a lap around the village path. This had become a habit for him, partly to exercise his weak body, and partly to enjoy the fresh morning air of the countryside. Li Xinrou was comforted by her son's diligence, but also heartbroken. She would rather her son be like other children, sleeping more. In a mother's heart, it wasn't necessarily about her son becoming outstanding; compared to that, they valued more that their son could live a peaceful and happy life.

Every time Ye Feng returned from his run, his mother, Li Xinrou, would be waiting for him at the door in the morning sun. Today was no exception. Ye Feng saw his mother standing quietly at the door from afar, the morning sun shining on her, like a loving goddess. This touched him deeply. Although he had seen this scene many times, he couldn't suppress the feeling of being moved. He rushed towards his mother and threw himself into her arms.

After breakfast, Li Xinrou tidied up Ye Feng. Although Ye Feng could have tidied himself, seeing his mother's loving and earnest expression as she did so made him feel incredibly happy. He let his mother do it for him, a bittersweet feeling welling up inside him. He recalled his mother's exhaustion and death in his past life, feeling immense guilt towards her. He resolved to serve her well and let her enjoy the happiness of family life.

After Li Xinrou's tidying up, Ye Feng looked even more handsome and adorable. He had short black hair, a smooth, jade-like face, and, most notably, a pair of pure, bright eyes. His slightly oversized babydoll outfit paired with sneakers made him look even cuter. Girls with a particular fondness for young boys would surely be tempted to hug and kiss him. Looking at her son, Li Xinrou felt incredibly proud, wondering how many young girls he would charm. But the thought also brought a pang of sadness, as if her son might be taken away from her.

After getting ready, Li Xinrou took Ye Feng's hand and they went out. Along the way, many villagers greeted them. The villagers' simplicity and warmth deeply moved Ye Feng, unlike the city where everyone wore a mask, constantly on guard. Ye Feng and his son reciprocated the villagers' kindness.

Upon arriving at school, Li Xinrou found many parents, like herself, bringing their children to school on the playground. Today, Li Xinrou had clearly dressed up, making her already beautiful even more stunning. Her white long dress fit her perfectly, revealing her jade-like skin that shimmered softly in the sunlight. She exuded a pure and innocent aura. Her oval face was exquisitely beautiful, with delicate, arched eyebrows, a straight and elegant nose that seemed to flutter slightly. Below her nose was a cherry-like mouth with well-defined, rosy lips, like ripe cherries ready to be picked—enough to tempt anyone to kiss her. Two prominent breasts rose below her neck, and below that was a slender waist that seemed within reach. She radiated endless charm, but what was even more striking was the maternal glow emanating from her face, a glow that suggested she was someone to be admired from afar, not to be touched. Many men's eyes lit up when they saw Li Xinrou, staring at her with infatuation, but there was no possessiveness in their eyes that could be offensive. Ye Feng felt incredibly proud to see so many people captivated by his mother.

Because this primary school was only run by the village and was very small, with only one class per grade, Li Xinrou easily led Ye Feng to the first-grade classroom. The classroom was very simple, with only a blackboard painted by hand, a wooden podium, and rows of desks and chairs, and white walls. At this time, many students had already arrived in the classroom, and they were very active, gathering in twos and threes, chatting happily. Teacher Shen Peihan was also standing on the podium, smiling as she watched the students playing. When she saw Ye Feng and Li Xinrou come in, Shen Peihan smiled slightly and said, "Classmates, let's clap to welcome our new classmate!" Hearing the teacher say this, the students clapped enthusiastically, and waves of applause rang out in the classroom. Ye Feng was deeply moved by the applause and felt an endless appreciation for this innocent yet infinitely pure school life. Li Xinrou was very happy to see the students welcoming her son so warmly. Ye Feng smiled slightly at Shen Peihan and said, "Hello, Teacher Shen!" After exchanging greetings, the two started chatting. Ye Feng listened clearly from the side. The main topic of their conversation was that his mother was asking Teacher Shen to take good care of him, which touched him deeply. After a while, Li Xinrou smiled and said to Ye Feng, "Xiao Feng, remember to listen to Teacher Shen and get along well with your classmates. Mom is leaving now!" Hearing his mother say this, Ye Feng smiled sweetly and said, "Goodbye, Mom!" Hearing her son's farewell, Li Xinrou smiled slightly and left the classroom. Seeing his mother disappear from sight, Ye Feng turned to look at Shen Peihan. Shen Peihan led Ye Feng to the podium and smiled slightly at the students, saying, "Classmates, this is Ye Feng. I hope you all get along well!" Then she smiled at Ye Feng and said, "Xiao Feng, go find a seat." Hearing Teacher Shen say this, Ye Feng smiled sweetly and went down from the podium to find a seat. At this moment, a cute girl sitting by the aisle nudged Ye Feng with her arm and smiled, "Excuse me, would you like to sit next to me?" Hearing the girl say this, Ye Feng smiled slightly, thanked her, and sat down next to her. The girl seemed very happy to see Ye Feng sit down. Her cute round face became even cuter when she smiled, and her big eyes turned into crescent moons! The girl smiled slightly and said, "My name is Zhao Guo'er. Zhao is the surname Zhao, Guo is the surname Guo, and Er is the surname Er. What's yours?" Hearing the girl's self-introduction, Ye Feng smiled slightly and replied, "My name is Ye Feng. Ye is the surname Ye, and Feng is the surname Ye." Zhao Guo'er found Ye Feng's self-introduction amusing and burst out laughing, her clear, melodious voice like a silver bell. After the introductions, the two were acquainted and began to chat. Through their conversation, Ye Feng and Zhao Guo'er learned each other's ages. Ye Feng was half a year older than Zhao Guo'er, so they changed their forms of address. Zhao Guo'er called Ye Feng "Brother Feng," and Ye Feng called Zhao Guo'er by her nickname, "Little Guo'er."

Seeing Ye Feng and Zhao Guo'er chatting happily, Shen Peihan, standing on the podium, felt very gratified. The figure standing quietly outside the classroom, seeing this scene, was completely relieved and quietly left.

Rebirth Announcement:

Dear readers, I've been incredibly busy lately. I'm sure many of you don't know me well yet. I'm currently a sophomore in college. While university offers a lot of free time, there are also busy periods. Lately, I've been working on a database design assignment and simultaneously writing two novels, which has caused some hiatus in updates. Speaking of novel updates, let me tell you about what happened to me yesterday. Yesterday afternoon, I skipped my computer networking class, but unexpectedly, I was called on. I'm notoriously unlucky in this area; eight or nine out of ten times I skip class, I get called on. This has made me a trendsetter for others who skip class. Whenever I skip, they all rush to skip, which is incredibly frustrating! According to school rules, skipping three classes means you don't have to take the exam, and I'm one of those unfortunate three-time skippers. Fortunately, the teacher was kind and gave us a chance to make amends, but this time the method is quite complicated! It's all the fault of those gossipy guys in the dorm across the hall who told the teacher about my novel writing. So the remedy is to give a ten-minute talk on web novels, including their history, my writing experience, and how I get signed contracts. My two buddies are even more outrageous—one wants to talk about CrossFire, and the other about Dota. If I go on stage, won't everything be exposed? Although I think writing novels is something to be proud of, I still feel embarrassed if acquaintances find out. After some discussion, the teacher gave the three of us a problem to talk about next time we go on stage, and that's settled!

Okay, enough chit-chat. I'll try my best to update. I apologize for the recent lack of updates, but since I don't have classes on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, I'll try to save up some chapters to maintain a stable update schedule. After this Friday, updates should stabilize to about two chapters a day. I definitely won't abandon this project; readers can rest assured.

Alright, that's all for now. I'd like to thank everyone for your support. I hope you'll continue to support me. If you have any criticisms or suggestions, you can join the group number in the announcement and let me know. I'll try my best to make corrections.
