My superpowers are updated every week

Shen Xiaoran changed into a light grey sweater, a long khaki children's jacket, a fabric skirt, over-the-knee black cotton socks, and shiny black leather shoes.

After dressing up beautifully, he asked his mother to take him to the park where he had agreed to meet Chen Yuan.

At the entrance, Mom and Chen Yuan completed the handover.

Before her mother's car had even gone far, Shen Xiaoran smiled and showed her goodwill to Chen Yuan: "Do you miss me a little?"

"Not bad." Chen Yuan pushed the wheelchair and began to observe the surroundings.

This perfunctory attitude made Shen Xiaoran regain the feeling of being a bootlicker.

Then, he said nonchalantly: "It's okay, you can miss me or not, come and play with me if you are bored, I'm always here."

"Good boy, good boy."

Chen Yuan casually touched Shen Xiaoran's head with his hand, and then continued to observe the terrain.

It’s definitely here. As far as I can remember, the child lost his hairpin in this place.

But what does this have to do with the hanging tree in the picture?

Oh, yeah, I'm stupid!

"I'll tie my shoelaces, wait a minute."

Chen Yuan slowly squatted down, then gently placed his hands on the ground.

Read the memory of this land.

Then, in an instant, infinite frames appeared in my mind.

Moreover, it is not completely without pattern.

When the film is unfolded, it becomes an infinitely extended timeline.

You just need to find the memories of the same period as the hairpin to know what this place looked like at that time.

Chen Yuan had seen her memory before she hanged herself. She walked to a ginkgo tree on a slope, climbed up the tree, hung the rope on the branch, tied it, and finally put her head on...

In other words, Chen Yuan roughly knew the terrain of this area.

Of course, if this place is far away from the tree, then it would be a waste of time.

In this way, he slowly opened up the memory of the earth.

It’s like looking for a movie, slowly tracing back.

Finally, stop at a certain moment and then click on a screen.

At the foot of Chen Yuan's current position was a village with a thatched house. Looking up, he saw a slope that was not steep but very wide.

There is a road on the slope, and a ginkgo tree is planted beside the road.

Coincidentally, from here, going up, there is an asphalt trail slope...

So Chen Yuan pushed Xiao Shen directly up the slope.

"Eh? Is there somewhere you want to go?"

"Yeah, there is."

Shen Xiaoran didn't quite understand, but didn't ask much. She just watched Chen Yuan push for about five minutes and reached a high point in the park.

Above that, there is another road.

Various landscape trees are planted on both sides of the road.

But one tree was different.

Moreover, a sign was hung on the tree, indicating that it was a ginkgo tree and that it was 722 years old.

What a coincidence!

With some excitement, Chen Yuan walked over and placed his hand on the tree trunk.

Then, the memory emerged.

One of these memories stands out because it is special.

Chen Yuan, clicked it.

Then, the girl was climbing up the tree, preparing to hang herself.

In the different time and space, Chen Yuan is standing under this tree at this moment.

Chapter 235 The Appearance of the Woman in Red

It’s not that Chen Yuan is short of money, and this thing probably won’t sell for much money.

And it just so happened that he had the ability to recall all his memories, so he decided to do this good thing.

Return this 'holy relic' to where it belongs.

After all, she did not throw away the hairpin when she was trying to commit suicide, which was enough to prove that the memory was meaningful, at least to her.

Where should I return it to?

Continuing, Chen Yuan played back the memories.

After the woman was hanged, a nearby villager saw her and carried her down. He stripped her of all her clothes and took the hairpin, which looked to be worth some money, and ran away.

Later, probably because he couldn't bear it anymore, he came back and buried the naked corpse under the tree.

At this moment, under Chen Yuan's feet was the corpse of this woman.

This is also why Chen Yuan insisted on bringing someone with him when he came here.

Xia Xinyu is not here, so dating Zhou Fu feels a bit forbidden. Zhou Yu and his friends are going to live on campus, so the only person who can be approached is Shen Xiaoran.

Besides, she knew some of my secrets.

If you call her over, even if you do something strange, she probably won't be too surprised.

Of course, she would ask.

Shen Xiaoran drove over in an electric wheelchair and came to Chen Yuan's side. She asked in confusion, "What are you doing? And what are you holding in your hand?"

"It's a hairpin. I bought it at a street stall." Chen Yuan explained directly.

"What is that?" Shen Xiaoran was a little confused and reached out to take it.

"Don't touch it. It's made of nickel alloy and filled with lead. You won't grow taller if you touch it too much." Chen Yuan reminded hurriedly.

When Shen Xiaoran heard that he would not grow taller, she immediately pulled her hand back and was very alert, fearing that she would be hit.

In this world, are there any beauties who are over 1.3 meters tall?

I want to grow to be 1.65 meters tall and become a beautiful woman.

"Then what do you want to do with this thing?" Shen Xiaoran asked puzzledly.

Looking at her, Chen Yuan suddenly felt that it was a bit uncomfortable for him to know this alone. So, he suddenly became interested and said, "I bought this little thing, and then I dreamed about it at noon."

"Hiss, the metaphysics has started."

Shen Xiaoran found it a bit interesting. After all, she was familiar with "Panlong" and "Xingchenbian", and had a deep knowledge of online literature. She had also read quite a few books in the current supernatural... no, suspense section of Qidian. So she was not afraid, but rather looked forward to it.

“Then, I had a dream.”

Since the other party was not afraid, Chen Yuan continued, "Once upon a time, there was a wealthy family. The daughter of the family grew up with her nanny's son. They had a very good relationship. They were very close, talking and laughing, and making promises to each other. The girl loved the handsome boy, and the boy was determined to pass the imperial examination. The two agreed that if the boy passed the imperial examination, the boy...or the poor scholar, would marry the girl."

"What a classic beginning. When will we travel through time?" Shen Xiaoran asked excitedly.

"No time travel, no rebirth, no system."

After Chen Yuan explained, he continued, "The scholar was also very hardworking. He passed the imperial examination at the age of 18. Although the status of a scholar was not very high, it was different from ordinary people. If he committed a crime, he did not have to kneel before the county magistrate and did not have to be punished. The girl was very happy, and the two of them often met in private. However, since they were girls, they had few opportunities to go out, so they exchanged letters at the wall of the mansion, using bird calls as a secret signal. The scholar also bought this hairpin by saving money, and then gave it to the girl from outside the wall."

"Just tell me, who died in the end." Shen Xiaoran guessed seriously.

No, how come this kid is so smart...

"Don't guess, listen first."

Then, Chen Yuan continued to narrate: "The girl was already thirteen years old at that time. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, girls over fourteen had to get married. So, her father was planning to marry his daughter, but it was obvious that the girl only liked her little brother and had no such intention, so she wanted the scholar to confess to her father, propose marriage, and marry her. If he didn't marry her..."

"She is about to marry someone else." Shen Xiaoran seemed to sense the difficulty and became a little nervous.

"Yes, that's it."

Chen Yuan narrated the story based on his memory and some literary additions, "But the girl was a little scared and didn't dare to do it, so he asked her to drag her father along. Of course, this kind of thing can't be hidden, so her father knew about it. But he didn't look down on her because of her humble background. On the contrary, he thought that passing the exam at the age of 18 showed that she was very smart, so he gave her three years until she was 16. After three years, if she didn't pass the exam, he would marry her off to someone else."

"It's too difficult to pass the imperial examination in three years, isn't it? A child prodigy like Zhang Juzheng only passed the imperial examination at the age of 16." Shen Xiaoran analyzed.

"You have a wide range of knowledge."

This is why Chen Yuan likes chatting with Shen Xiaoran. This guy not only has a high aesthetic taste and loves to watch "Stellar Change", but also reads a lot of books and has a deep literary accumulation, so when chatting, he is not dry at all.

I wish I could have a daughter like this in the future.

No, this daughter is love-sick.

The little thing that my child will be afraid of in the future is that he must be a daddy-control freak.

"Although he was given three years, at that time, the provincial examination was held every three years, which was equivalent to only two chances. Therefore, during this period, the scholar worked very hard, but because of his poor family background, the girl often sold her jewelry to support the scholar's study and pass the imperial examination." Chen Yuan continued to process artistically, "Because the scholar is a consumable, he can basically create no value before passing the imperial examination. Therefore, the girl sold all her jewelry, leaving only the broken copper hairpin."

"She is such a love-brained person, she won't continue to make shoes for men..."

Shen Xiaoran was halfway through her speech when she suddenly found herself hit by a boomerang.

No, I'm knitting gloves for Chen Yuan!

"The first time the scholar failed to pass the imperial examination, he was very discouraged, but the girl comforted him, saying it was okay, there was another chance, and he should continue to study hard. She stole money from home to support him."

At this point, Chen Yuan changed his tone and became more serious: "She had good intentions, but her father has always been looking for a marriage partner. Then, she hooked up with a middle-aged man who had passed the imperial examination, and the man fell in love with the girl at first sight. Let me ask you, if one is already a juren and the other is still taking the imperial examination, what would you choose?"

This is just like the difference between a civil servant and someone who is 'taking the civil service exam' when you are on a blind date.

They seem to have something in common, but in fact they have nothing to do with each other.

"Of course I've been admitted...but I like guys who are more handsome." When Shen Xiaoran said this, she stared at Chen Yuan with a shy smile on her lips.

"Who asked you to choose? I was just trying to arouse the readers' interest."

Chen Yuan ignored Shen Xiaoran and continued the previous plot, saying, "So, the girl's father wanted to force a marriage. At this time, the girl panicked and asked the scholar to meet her father, hoping that he would consider the friendship between her mother and her wet nurse and beg her father to give her another chance. But this sentence seemed to touch the scholar's reverse scale. He flew into a rage and felt humiliated. Seeing this, the girl quickly apologized and gave all the money from selling the fabric to the boy, saying that she would find another way."
