闪电一闪,雷声隆隆,雨水成片地倾泻而下.
楚流香摸了摸自己的鼻子,看着自己湿透的身体,忍不住苦笑了一下.天气真的很喜怒无常.就在几个小时前,天气晴朗,微风拂面,但转眼间,乌云密布,狂风呼啸.如果他知道,他就不会出海捕鱼了.为了吃几口食物,他在这里冒着生命危险,真的不值得.雨越来越大.它已经倾盆大雨了几个小时,没有任何停止的迹象.他那摇摇晃晃的小船几乎再也经不起这种打击了.再来一个大浪,它可能会碎成碎片.在这片浩瀚的海洋中,没有人回应他的求救.就算拥有出色的武功,也只会被大海吞噬.
楚流香并没有气馁.他使出浑身的力气,用手中的桨躲开一个个向自己袭来的海浪,拼命朝着来来的方向划回去.他估计,大约一个小时后,他就能看到陆地了.楚流香摸了摸自己的鼻子,突然感觉到一阵冷风从背后吹来.他的心里充满了一丝喜悦.他知道现在风在他的背后.生与死的许多事情都悬而未决.作为一个百年一遇的神童,楚流香自然明白这个道理.他立即使出浑身解数,划得更快.他不知道过去了多少时间.他的手臂酸痛,但他没有丝毫休息的意思,因为他已经看到了让他无比兴奋的土地.
楚流香的心情在这一刻有所改善.还没等他完全欢喜,一股巨浪就从背后冲了过来.木船立刻被海浪砸成碎片,楚流香掉进了海里.唯一的运气是他抓住了一块破损的木板,这让他多了一点生存的希望.楚流香又摇了摇头.确实,不幸从来都不是孤军奋战.他只能用尽全力开始游泳.突然,楚流香的脸上浮现出不敢置信的表情.他的脚似乎被什么东西抓住了,把他拉进了更深的海里.力量越来越强,他开始旋转.
又一股巨浪滚滚而来.

宜兴市天澜河旁.
天都中学三年级三年级的楚天惊恐地站在堤坝上.几个罪犯少年正用威胁的眼神看着他.他们身后站着班级美女林美梅和校园恶霸李健.
楚天想不通,自己是怎么慌慌张张地跑到这片天澜河,没有回头路的.他也不明白为什么,就因为他不小心弄脏了林美美的衣服,她就想伤害他.
林美梅依偎在李健身边,得意洋洋地看着楚天."楚善 - 为了 - 什么都没有,快跑!现在继续运行.你以为你可以不补偿弄脏我的衣服就跑掉吗?这没那么容易.
当楚天听到"楚善——为——无"这几个字时,他并没有表现出任何兴奋或愤怒.谁让他成为天都中学公认的最没用,最自卑,最差的学生?不仅他的同学们这样称呼他,就连老师也经常这样称呼他.久而久之,大家几乎都忘记了他的真名是楚天,一直叫他"楚善-无-无".这一切并不是因为他偷了什么东西或犯了错误,而仅仅是因为他的学习成绩很差.他的数学成绩为 14 分,英语为 21 分,中文为 36 分.他所有的分数总和甚至不及别人的一张试卷高.所以,楚天一直觉得自卑.
楚天一脸恐惧,道:"林美美,我不是故意的.张婉江踢了我一脚,才不小心弄脏了你的衣服.我帮你洗干净怎么样?
林美美不屑地说道:"你帮我洗?那对你来说太好了.你有点紧张.我给你一条出路.付我三百块钱,然后在课堂上磕头道歉,我就放你走.
Chu Tian looked troubled and weakly said, "I... I don't have any money."
Chu Tian was telling the truth. Since his parents died in a car accident two years ago, he had been living with his uncle's family. His uncle and aunt had reluctantly taken him in only because of the 100,000 - yuan life insurance payout from his parents. They became his legal guardians and temporarily accepted him. But after receiving the 100,000 - yuan insurance money from his parents' unit, they didn't spend it on Chu Tian. Instead, they used it to buy the best clothes, the best supplements, and hire the best tutors for their precious daughter, Chu Xinxin. Their attitude towards Chu Tian became harsh. They not only made him eat leftovers but also often made him do all kinds of work, treating him like a laborer. Every time Chu Tian asked them for living expenses or school fees, his uncle and aunt would surely humiliate him, as if Chu Tian was taking their flesh and blood.
Lin Meimei's face immediately turned ugly. "You don't know what's good for you. You need to be taught a lesson today. Remember to bring three hundred yuan to compensate for my loss tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll beat you up every time I see you."
Then, with a wave of her delicate hand, several delinquent teenagers quickly rushed forward and started punching and kicking Chu Tian. Li Jian stopped them from hitting Chu Tian's face and said with experience, "Don't hit his face. It's easy to see the bruises. Aim for his body."
Lin Meimei hooked her arm around Li Jian's neck and said coquettishly, "Brother Jian, you're so amazing and experienced."
Li Jian smiled wickedly. "You haven't seen how much more amazing and experienced I can be. How about I show you tonight?" As he spoke, his hand brazenly slipped into the back of Lin Meimei's pants.
Lin Meimei wriggled a few times but didn't resist anymore. She said softly, "Brother Jian, you're so bad. I'll listen to you tonight. But you have to beat this kid half to death for me. Teach him a lesson. He didn't give me face, which means he didn't give you face either."
Li Jian nodded, and with a flick of his two fingers, the group of people closed in on Chu Tian again.
Chu Tian stepped back in horror, completely forgetting that there was the Tianlan River behind him. With a "splash", Chu Tian fell into the Tianlan River. Knowing a bit about swimming, he quickly started treading water, trying to swim back to the shore. Unexpectedly, the waterweeds in the river were thick, and his foot got accidentally entangled. The more he struggled, the tighter it got, and there was a force pulling him into the water. The force was getting stronger, and he started to spin.
Chu Tian became terrified and shouted towards Li Jian and Lin Meimei, "Help! Help!"
But Li Jian and Lin Meimei on the shore just watched Chu Tian with smiles on their faces and then left swaggeringly.
Chu Tian felt a sense of despair. His hands and feet gradually lost their feeling, and his vision became more and more blurred. Staring at the light on the water surface, he suddenly had a sense of impending death.
The sky suddenly darkened. In an instant, lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and then rain poured down.
※※※
A dazzling bolt of lightning flashed, and thunder boomed. Chu Liuxiang finally woke up. The first thing he saw was a chubby little boy with a look of anxiety on his face. The clothes he was wearing were something Chu Liuxiang had never seen before.
Chu Liuxiang looked around in surprise and found that he was lying on a clean bed. He realized that this room was very strange. There were all kinds of things he had never seen before. It was clean and tidy but had no decorations at all. He patted his body and felt a pain, which proved that his consciousness was still there, meaning he was still alive. Looking down, he was startled. He had turned into a teenage body. Even his bone - shrinking skill wasn't that powerful. The clothes he was wearing were similar to those of the little chubby boy. He had no idea what had happened to him, but he didn't make a big fuss in front of the little chubby boy. In his opinion, this magical place was like the first time he went to Persia, seeing those strange people, strange food, and strange buildings. It was just a difference in the cultural environment caused by the regional difference.
So now, Chu Liuxiang was only curious about why he had this teenage body. Had he been disguised and tampered with? Chu Liuxiang touched his face. This face wasn't his, but there were no signs of disguise either.
At this time, when the little chubby boy saw that Chu Liuxiang had woken up, he didn't say anything. He thought Chu Tian was hurt somewhere and shouted, "Chu Tian, Chu Tian, you finally woke up. You scared me to death. I thought you drowned."
Chu Liuxiang was stunned. He looked around. There was no one else. Was this little chubby boy calling him? When did he become Chu Tian?
The little chubby boy handed Chu Tian an apple. "Chu Tian, how did you fall into the Tianlan River? If I hadn't passed by, you would have been fish food by now."
Tianlan River? Wasn't he sucked in by something in the sea?
Chu Liuxiang listened to the little chubby boy's chatter in confusion but was also grateful for his kindness. He said vaguely, "Thank you. But how did I end up here?"
The little chubby boy stopped, touched Chu Liuxiang's forehead, and said, "Chu Tian, you don't have a fever. You can't have forgotten what happened to you, right? I'll go call the doctor." With that, he ran out.
Chu Liuxiang ignored him and started thinking hard. Suddenly, a weak consciousness intertwined with Chu Liuxiang's memory. It was the remaining consciousness of Chu Tian doing its last thing. The weak consciousness slowly injected its memory into Chu Liuxiang's consciousness. After some digestion, absorption, and integration, Chu Liuxiang finally understood something. In the sea, he had been sucked in by something. By some chance, he had come to this world hundreds of years later and possessed the body of an ordinary teenager, Chu Tian. Perhaps because his primordial spirit was too powerful, or perhaps because the original owner of the body was too self - abased, his consciousness had taken control of this teenage body.
Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Such an absurd thing had actually happened to him. He was really speechless. He even felt a bit guilty in his heart. His so - called "resurrection through a corpse" had come at the cost of sacrificing Chu Tian's soul. It was truly a sin.
Chu Liuxiang suddenly thought of the wish that the weak consciousness had injected at the end. He let out a sigh and comforted the gradually disappearing consciousness of Chu Tian, "The renowned Chu Liuxiang is no more. Chu Tian shall rise. I will surely make you stand out and be proud in the world."
