The strong wind outside made the doors and windows creak, and Hou Qi couldn't sleep at all while lying on the bed. Not only because of the strong wind outside, but also because I will be 18 years old tomorrow. Think about what you did when you were 18 years old in your previous life. I am in high school, too. I was so carefree at that time. My academic performance was among the best, my teachers valued me at school, and my parents loved me at home. It's not like I'm suffering in this place now.
How did you come into this world? Hou Qi couldn't help but think of his past life. In my previous life, my name was not Hou Qi, but Lin Guodong. My father was a section chief in a state-owned factory, and my mother was a junior high school teacher.
Since elementary school, Lin Guodong has been extremely smart and his academic performance has always been among the best. In this way, Lin Guodong's life went smoothly in junior high school, high school, and university. After graduating from university, Lin Guodong was admitted to the civil service and was assigned to the Cultural Bureau. Before the age of 26, he became the deputy director of the municipal library. He can be said to be a winner in life.
Later, I was introduced to a girl named Liu. When I was about to get married, a fire broke out in the library and I didn't run out. The last memory he had was of being knocked unconscious by a bookshelf. When he woke up, he turned into a baby. And he has a new name "Hou Qi".
Fortunately, what he saw when he opened his eyes was still the same as in his previous life. People with black hair and yellow skin were dressed similar to those in modern times. Hou Qi thought that maybe he didn't drink Meng Po soup when he was reincarnated. The child had low energy, so Hou Qi slept most of the time. When he woke up, he would cry when he was hungry, and his mother in this life would feed him milk. He went to bed when he was full, and played by himself when he woke up. He didn't need his mother to worry about him at all. After several months of observation and listening to other people's words, he basically understood his own situation.
The place where he was born is Muyun Star, which is no longer the earth, but one of the more than 200 colonial planets under the Interstellar Federation. In this interstellar era, cultivation has become the mainstream. Although technology has also developed with it, technology mainly serves warriors and cultivation.
The ancestors of the Hou family made great contributions when they captured Muyun Star, and the Federation divided a large territory on Muyun Star. After development, the Hou family is now a big family on Muyun Star. A large city was built in his territory, which was called Houcheng. The surrounding 5,000 miles are the territory of the Hou family, which can be described as infinite scenery. At the beginning, Hou Qi was very happy. At least his life experience in this life was good, and he couldn't go back anyway. Thinking about those time-travel novels in my previous life, I was now born in the world of Gaowu, and secretly vowed to live a wonderful life to avoid being mediocre like my previous life. Where is my golden finger? Hou Qi didn't find anything different about himself except for the memory of his previous life.
But it doesn't matter. He believes that with his own efforts, he can achieve something even without a golden finger. Unexpectedly, as time went by, Hou Qicai discovered that this was not the case at all. His surname was Hou, and he was also the mistress of the Hou family, but no one really regarded him as the mistress of the Hou family. Because he is just the product of the drunkenness of the eldest son of the Hou family.
Since her pregnancy, Hou Qi's mother Pang Fuping has been a thorn in the side of his wife Wang Wenxiu. Being pregnant has not changed Pang Fuping's status as a servant at all. She still has to work every day, and she does more and heavier work than before.
As for the eldest young master Hou Chuanjiang, he had forgotten who Pang Fuping was for a long time. After the child was born, he only remembered one thing after someone told him. Hou Chuanjiang was confused and had a son. He didn't feel any joy. The housekeeper asked him the name of the child. He casually said that he would call him Hou Qi and asked the housekeeper to arrange Pang Fuping and her son in the most remote corner of Hou's house. Come on, out of sight. Because he felt that this child was a tool that Pang Fuping wanted to use to gain power. Afraid of trouble, he and Wang Wenxiu were at odds with each other, so he regarded the child as a shame.
Pang Fuping continued to work as a servant, earning a meager salary to support Hou Qi. Fortunately, Hou Qi had the memory of his previous life and didn't cry or make trouble. This also made Pang Fuping feel very relieved. Mother and son depended on each other.
When other children in the Hou family reach the age of 3, they begin to take medicinal baths and stand postures every day to lay the foundation for future cultivation. When Pang Fuping went to beg Wang Wenxiu for her son, all she got in exchange was "That bastard is going to waste resources, don't even think about it. Just give up!".
Pang Fuping had no choice but to go back and cry silently. Since having Hou Qi, her life in the Hou family has become more and more difficult every day. She has to do all the dirty and tiring work. I originally hoped that Hou Qi would have a good future, but now Hou Qi doesn't have any of the treatment that the descendants of the Hou family should enjoy. So sad that I couldn't afford to fall ill. Hou Qi anxiously talked to the ants on the hot pot, but to no avail. In the end, although the housekeeper called a doctor, Hou Qi's mother still passed away. It is said that Pang Fuping also had the skills of skin training and was still very young and would not die so soon. However, her heart was already dead. After being stimulated by Wang Wenxiu again, she fell ill and died of sorrow and anger.
After Pang Fuping died, Hou Qi was only three years old. She still lives in that remote courtyard, perhaps because Pang Fuping is dead and Wang Wenxiu no longer cares about a three-year-old baby. After all, he is a descendant of the Hou family, so after his mother passed away, his life became much better, but he also knew that he could not let others know that he had memories of his previous life. So he could only remember his mother's death silently in his heart.
When they reached school age, the other children of the Hou family attended Hanwen Academy, which is recognized as the best private school in Muyunxing. And he can only attend federal public schools. The rest of the Hou family practice martial arts and secret techniques passed down from their families. There is no need to worry about the supply of resources, but Hou Qi only practices the basic body-refining techniques that are popular in the Federation, and there are no resources at all.
Until now, Hou Qi has thought about going out on his own, but in this place where force determines everything, with his almost 18-year-old and low-level skills of skin training, he may die at any time. At least he had enough food and clothing in the Hou family. In his previous life, he was the deputy director of the library, so he naturally had a lot of knowledge in his mind. When he was a child, he naively thought that he could rely on this knowledge to impress others, but unfortunately in his mind I memorized Daozang all over and still didn't understand any martial arts secrets. As expected, the time-travel novels I read in my previous life were all lies.
Hou Qi thought about his experiences after coming to this world and listened to the storm outside. Tomorrow, the family will allocate him a territory as usual, and everything in the territory will be his own. But Hou Qi had no confidence in his heart. The eldest lady Wang Wenxiu would not let him get any resources. Will there be a bigger wind blast waiting for him tomorrow?
If you don't have any resources in your territory tomorrow, you will definitely not be able to pass the college entrance examination in a few months. Now I am the last person in the class. Cultivation is the lowest. Although cultural courses are very good, no university will accept you in the college entrance examination if you just rely on cultural courses without cultivation.
Hou Qiqian heard the window ringing non-stop and thought about blocking it with that thing. He sighed, got up from the bed, and looked at the house he had lived in for 18 years. To be honest, it was worse than the servant's house. He took a piece of wood and tried to block the window. He walked to the window, and sure enough, the window had been blown open by the wind.
When he walked to the window and was about to close it, he saw a flash of white light in the dark sky. Hou Qi felt a burst of pain in his head and fainted. In the dark night, with the strong wind, no one noticed what happened in this corner of the Marquis Mansion.
