Chapter 1 Return
Li Changle had a splitting headache and wanted to get up to take some painkillers, but her eyelids felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds and she couldn't open them.

At this time, he heard someone outside the house who sounded like his mother shouting, "Ah Le, your father sprained his ankle on the way to ask for money from Xiao Hai, and was bitten by a snake. Come out quickly, take the money to the clinic, and carry him back."

"Why does it sound like my mother's voice?"

Li Changle listened to the noise outside and gradually became more conscious. When he opened his eyes, he saw A Niang, who had been gone for many years, running towards him.

"Mother?" His eyes widened instantly, his scalp felt tingling, and all the hairs on his body stood up.

Dreaming! I must be dreaming!
Li Changle closed her eyes tightly, and when she opened them again, she saw her mother, wearing an old-fashioned homespun dress with a slanting collar, still standing there alive.

And the small wooden bed opposite was clearly where the two sons slept in the past. How come it appeared with their mother?

It's not a dream! If it is, how can it be so real?

He remembered that when he was coming out of the demolition office, his electric bike was hit by a dump truck, and he went dark and knew nothing.

Could it be that he was already dead? He didn't even go to the Yama Palace and was reborn?

In my previous life, I watched a lot of short dramas about reincarnation and time travel. They were either big bosses or the sons of high-ranking officials. Could it be that after the higher-ups relaxed the policy on having children, the policies at the lower levels were also relaxed?

"You bastard, are you deaf?" Seeing him sitting there in a daze, Li's mother slapped him angrily, "Did you hear that? Your father sprained his ankle and was bitten by a snake. He's in the clinic now. Go and carry him back."

After hearing what she said, Li Changle immediately remembered that in late June or early July of 1984, his father went to fish for seafood and passed by the Yantou Cave. He stepped on a stone and sprained his ankle. He then fell into the grass and was bitten by a snake hiding in the grass.

When he was sent to the clinic, the village doctor saw that his legs were swollen like steamed buns. He asked a few questions but did not examine him carefully. He went to find some snake medicine to apply on him and let him go back to rest.

Just two hours after Mr. Li went home and fell asleep, he began to have a fever, chills, and dizziness. The bite site also began to turn black and swell, and he then lost consciousness.

When he was sent to the hospital, they found out that it was a five-step snake that bit him...

Thinking of this, Li Changle broke out in a cold sweat and sobered up immediately. He calmed himself down, got up from the bed, and staggered, almost falling to the ground.

Li's mother hurried forward to support him. The stench of alcohol almost made her faint, and she slapped him again in anger.

"Why did I give birth to such a precious thing like you? Even a good woman like An Nan couldn't keep you, and all you do is hang out with some second-rate guys all day long!"

She thought back to the past and regretted it so much that her intestines turned green, because on the day he was born, the old man went out to sea and caught a yellow croaker weighing over 100 kilograms. The brigade rewarded him with 20 yuan, a bag of rice and two bags of sugar.

Twenty yuan was used to pay back the money owed for the old lady's medical treatment, and Mi and Tang had a good confinement. They thought A Le was a lucky star and always favored him.

From childhood to adulthood, even Ah Huan, who was born later, was not as favored as him. Whenever there was something delicious, he would be given first. The whole family would eat dried sweet potatoes, and a handful of rice would be cooked next to the pot, as if they were cooking for him.

His parents' love and affection allowed him to live a carefree life, but also spoiled him into a guy who could not make big money, looked down on small money, and was overambitious and useless.

Li Changle said anxiously, "Mother, there are a lot of five-step snakes in the Yantou Cave. I'm worried that it was a five-step snake that bit my father. We have to send him to the hospital in town.

You can take some more money and go call Ah Qing and ask him to drive the tractor to the village office. If it is really a five-step snake, we will send him to the town hospital."

A Qing is the only son of his third uncle. His wife is the daughter of the brigade's accountant, and he also drives the brigade's tractor.

"Ah~" Li's mother screamed, then looked at him suspiciously, "You're not going to cheat me out of money again..."

"Mother~" Li Changle shouted in shame and anger, "Am I so bad in your eyes?"

Seeing his embarrassed and angry face, Li's mother felt that what she said was a bit harsh. The third child was unreliable, but not that bad, so she believed him.

"Okay, I'll get it for you!"

Then he thought about the consequences of being bitten by a five-step snake and didn't dare to delay, so he turned around and went back to the house to get the money.

Li Changle quickly put on his clothes and shoes and walked out of the room. Mother Li came over with an old purse and handed it to him after a moment of hesitation.

"There are ninety-six dollars in it. It's the only money left in the family. You can't use it to fool around with others."

"May I be struck by lightning if I use the money to fool around!" Li Changle put the money in his pocket and said, "Go and call Ah Qing. Ask the eldest and second brothers to prepare some money and send it to the town."

He was in a daze about his previous life. He only knew that it cost a lot of money to send his father to the hospital after he fainted. The family had just sent his grandmother away, and the only fishing boat broke down again.

The eldest and second brothers also lived in poverty. In order to treat their father's illness, they seemed to have borrowed foreign debts.

After my father was discharged from the hospital, he was always sick and even had trouble walking...

"Oh oh!" Li's mother hurried out and ran towards Li Changqing's house which lived in front of her own house.

Li Changle took the money and ran towards the clinic, and the stone houses on both sides of the bluestone road flashed past quickly.

I'm glad that I came back at the right time. This time, my father won't waste time and end up gasping for breath after walking a few steps after being discharged from the hospital, as he did in his previous life.

He ran past several alleys and a long pond covered with water chestnuts appeared in front of him. The village office was built on the other side of the pond and the clinic was also there.

He saw a beautiful young woman standing at the door of the clinic looking over here. He looked carefully and found that it was his wife Zhou Ruonan.

Her parents' home is in Lucheng Old Street, two hours' drive from Panzhen.
She spoke up for her father and was also sent to the village youth cadre for labor reform.

Because of his good temper and other reasons, he was also bullied at the educated youth center.

Li Changle fell in love with the beautiful Zhou Ruonan the first time he saw her.

I even like her name, Anan, what a nice name! Unlike those girls in the village, who are either called Ahua or Amei, and the one with big buck teeth is still called a fairy.

From then on, he restrained his temper, followed her around, and tried to please her.

Because he was handsome, capable and good at talking, it only took him half a year to persuade Zhou Ruonan to agree to date him.

Seeing that he had changed his lazy nature for Zhou Ruonan, Li's father and mother agreed when they thought that the girl he was dating was an educated youth from the city.

When he saw Zhou Ruonan, he felt even more satisfied to see how gentle and polite she was.

The old lady and the mother took great care of An Nan, asking her about her well-being. The little girl, who had been looked down upon after her father's accident, was deeply moved.

Later, after Zhou's father got into trouble, Zhou Ruonan's brother and sister-in-law severed ties with them.

Zhou's father couldn't bear the blow and hanged himself in a rage. Zhou's mother also fell ill due to anger...

She had no further contact with her relatives, and no one was willing to help her. She couldn't even borrow money to buy a coffin for her father's burial.

Li Changle begged his parents for money and accompanied her back to Lucheng to help with the funeral arrangements for his father-in-law. He also gave some rice to Zhou's mother. From then on, Zhou Ruonan followed him wholeheartedly.

After getting married, he saw some people in the village doing business secretly, so he quietly collected some fish jerky to sell. However, he encountered an inspection just after setting up the stall. Fortunately, he ran fast and was not caught.

The business route didn't work, and going out to sea was hard and tiring, and she couldn't make any money. Li Changle simply gave up and wandered around with a few second-rate guys in the village, leaving the responsibility of raising the child entirely to her.

Zhou Ruonan was full of joy when she just got married, but gradually she became more and more disappointed in him. Fortunately, her parents-in-law treated her well and used their connections to get her a substitute teacher in the village primary school.

Although Li Changle was a bit lazy, he never hit her. As long as she worked harder, life didn't seem so difficult.

Later, Xiaohai and Xiaozhou were born. In 81, her father-in-law was rehabilitated and the educated youth returned to the city one after another. She went back to see Zhou's mother and never mentioned returning to the city. Instead, she took on the burden of supporting the family without complaint.

My father never recovered after being bitten by a five-step snake. Although my two brothers provided support, without my father's help, the family had to rely on Anan's salary of twelve or thirteen yuan a month and the little money my mother earned from weaving nets and fishing in the sea. Life became increasingly difficult.

Fortunately, he grew up in a fishing village and his family all made a living on the sea, so his eldest brother took him to work on his uncle's boat.

How could a person who was used to being lazy endure the hardship of mining? He was looked down upon by his uncle's family, and his monthly salary was less than half of what others earned.

After his parents passed away, Anan's health also began to deteriorate. He died of lung cancer at the age of 48...

Li Changle looked at his wife across from him, quickened his pace and ran across the stone arch bridge, "Anan..."

"I'm coming!" Zhou Ruonan interrupted him calmly, "Doctor Xiang has already applied snake medicine, you give him the money and carry dad back."

Looking at his beautiful wife and remembering how she looked after she fell ill, Li Changle felt particularly uncomfortable. He looked at her intently, then thought of his father's injury and rushed into the health room.

He said to Xiang Rong, the bald village doctor, "Doctor Xiang, my mother said that it seemed to be a five-step snake that bit my father. You'd better use a cupping jar to draw out the poison. Wait for Qing to drive the tractor over, and we will take him to the town."

Father Li looked down at his ankle, which was swollen like a steamed bun, and glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't even see it was a five-step snake, so how did your mother see it? They say that a five-step snake bite is very painful, but I just felt a burning sensation at the time, not any pain at all."

"You sprained your ankle. Of course you don't feel any pain because it's numb." Li Changle turned to Xiang Rong and said, "Doctor Xiang, please take a closer look."

After hearing this, Xiang Rong hurriedly squatted down and carefully examined the wound. He saw two wounds the size of green beans on the swollen area. Blood was constantly oozing out of the wounds, and the nearby muscles were also a little black.

He said embarrassedly, "It seems to be the symptoms of a five-step snake bite. The main thing is that the bite just happened at the place where you sprained your ankle, and it's swollen like this. I didn't pay attention. I will help you remove the poison first."

Father Li's face turned pale, "Oh oh!"

The five-step snake is called the white flower snake in some places. Its scientific name is Agkistrodon acutus. Its venom contains hemolytic toxin, which is extremely destructive. Once bitten by it, the antihemagglutinin in the venom will prevent blood from clotting.

After being bitten by it, the wound will bleed continuously, swell, blister, and suffer from tissue gangrene and ulcers. It is commonly known as the rotten meat king.

Given the conditions in the clinic, the only thing that could be done was to cut open the wound, draw out the poisonous blood with a cupping jar, and sprinkle snake medicine on it to suppress the toxin.

Otherwise, when he gets to the hospital, the spread toxins will cause large-scale necrosis of muscle tissue, damage his heart and lungs, and ulcerate his calf muscles. He will suffer a lot even after being rescued.
