Introduction

유닝은 21세기에서 타임슬립해 왔는데, 그것도 모자라 온 가족이 재앙을 부르는 사람으로 여겨지는 집안의 일원이 되었을 뿐만 아니라, 심지어 한 푼도 없는 빈털터리가 되었다!

유닝은 21세기에서는 별로 야망이 없는 사람이었지만, 그건 단지 과학기술이 너무 발달해서 그의 두뇌가 따라가지 못했을 뿐이었다. 하지만 고대에 와서는, 그 늙은 골동품들을 이길 수 없을 리가 없다고 생각했다! 현대에 가져가면 어마어마한 가치를 지니고 전 세계를 떠들썩하게 할 골동품들! 결국 누구나 고대인의 시체는 봤어도 살아있는 고대인은 본 적이 없으니까! 비록 유닝은 이 왕조가 어떤 귀신 같은 왕조인지 몰랐지만, 그것이 여전히 가치가 있다는 사실에는 변함이 없었다.

구칭줘는 처음 유닝을 만났을 때, 그저 돈에 눈이 먼 속물이라고 생각했다. 하지만 나중에는 오히려 유닝의 그 속물스러움에 매료되고 말았다!

"네가 그렇게 많은 돈을 뭐하려고 하는 거야?" 구칭줘는 금은보화 더미에 파묻혀 있는 유닝을 보며 어이없다는 듯 물었다.

"닥쳐, 넌 골동품이니까 이것들의 가치를 모르는 게 당연하지." 유닝은 그를 흘겨보더니 그 물건들을 보면서 흥분해서 손을 비볐다.

구칭줘의 눈썹이 몇 번 씰룩거리더니 불쾌하게 입을 열었다. "누가 골동품이라고?"

"너지, 설마 내가?" 유닝은 분명 상황을 제대로 파악하지 못한 모양이었다.

구칭줘: "......"

Chapter 1

전날 밤, 위닝은 아직 대학 입시에 자신을 바치기 위해 필사적으로 준비하고 있었는데, 눈 깜짝할 사이에 시간을 뛰어넘었다. 위닝은 속으로 '씨발'이라고 욕을 하고 싶었지만, 사실 이미 수없이 내뱉었던 터였다.

원래 몸의 주인은 이칭이라는 이름으로, 부모님은 모두 돌아가셨고, 소문에 따르면 그가 재수 없어서 그랬다고 했다. 위닝은 얼굴에 피를 흘리며 정말 할 말을 잃었다.

이곳에 온 지 거의 반년이 되어가면서 위닝은 점차 이곳의 생활에 적응해갔다. 매일 해 뜰 때 일어나 해 질 때 돌아오는 생활이 꽤 즐거웠다. 다만 자신의 가족이 많이 그리울 뿐이었다.

이 원래 몸의 주인은 이웃들과 관계가 좋지 않았다. 모두들 그가 재수 없어서 사람을 죽게 만든다고 말했기 때문에 기본적으로 아무도 그에게 가까이 가려 하지 않았다. 아마 이 원래 몸의 주인도 그렇게 절망적인 상황으로 내몰렸을 것이다.

위닝은 불쌍하다는 생각 외에는 별다른 생각이 없었다. 그가 비록 나쁜 사람이었을지라도 적어도 이렇게 아무 이유 없이 괴롭힘을 당하게 하지는 않았을 테니까.

위닝이 처음 왔을 때는 정말 많은 냉대를 받았다. 병이 나도 아무도 그의 생사를 확인하러 오려 하지 않았다. 다행히 위닝은 목숨이 강해서 견뎌냈다.

이날 위닝은 호미를 메고 밭으로 내려가려 했다. 이웃 중 유일하게 그에게 괜찮게 대해주는 이 아주머니가 그를 보고 친절하게 말했다. "칭아, 밭에 가는구나."

위닝은 특별히 대답하지 않고 예의상 고개만 끄덕인 후 자신의 밭으로 향했다.

이 땅은 그가 오기 전에 큰아버지가 몇 무(亩)를 차지해버렸고, 남은 건 단 한 무뿐이었다. 그것도 위닝이 참지 못하고 큰아버지 집에 가서 한바탕 소란을 피운 후에야 땅을 되찾을 수 있었지만, 그래도 한 무는 손해를 봤다. 이 생각을 하니 위닝은 침을 뱉지 않을 수 없었다. 젠장, 언젠가는 너희들이 두 배로 갚게 해주겠어. 자신을 만만하게 보면 안 된다고.

위닝은 진취심이 없는 사람이었다. 그저 그럭저럭 살며 굶어 죽지만 않으면 됐다. 처음 왔을 때는 돌아갈 수 있을 거라 생각했지만, 반년이 지나도 여전히 이곳에 있었다! 그래서 그는 발버둥 치는 것을 포기하고 아내를 맞아 평범하게 살기로 마음먹었다. 그렇게 많은 걸 생각해서 뭐하겠는가.

위닝은 장작이 부족하다는 것이 생각나서 칼과 밧줄을 가지고 산으로 들어갔다. 가난한 사람이라 돈을 버는 방법을 몰랐기에, 아낄 수 있는 건 아끼는 것이 좋았다. 게다가 위닝은 여자가 아니었으니, 이런 일쯤은 할 수 있었다.

땅에 떨어진 마른 장작을 주워 모은 후, 위닝은 먼저 한 더미로 만들고 칼로 장작을 한 토막씩 잘라 묶어서 집에 가져가기 쉽게 했다.

막 장작을 묶고 있는데, 갑자기 뒤에서 소리가 들렸다. 위닝은 본능적으로 칼을 들고 뒤를 돌아보았는데... 결과적으로 칼이 다른 사람의 배에 꽂혀버렸다! 하지만 왜 피가 이렇게 많이 나오는 거지?! 정말 깜짝 놀랄 일이었다!

위닝은 급히 칼을 빼냈고, 그러자 그 사람은 바로 그의 몸 위로 쓰러졌다.

백결은 그저 이 작은 마을을 지나가던 중이었는데, 중간에 누군가에게 쫓기게 되어 어쩔 수 없이 깊은 산속으로 숨었다. 그는 이미 심각한 부상을 입은 상태였고, 산에 올라온 사람을 보자 그저 산을 내려가는 방법을 물어보려 했을 뿐인데, 이렇게 칼로 맞이하다니 무슨 일인가? 백결은 아직 상황을 이해하기도 전에 그대로 기절해버렸다.

"이봐요, 이봐요!" 위닝은 그 사람의 얼굴을 여러 번 두드렸지만, 어쩔 수 없이 그는 완전히 의식을 잃은 상태였다.

위닝은 자신의 피 묻은 칼을 보고, 다시 땅에 누워있는 사람을 보며 깊은 한숨을 내쉬었다. 그냥 자신의 운이 나쁘다고 생각하기로 했다. 위닝은 우선 장작을 포기하고 그 사람을 업고 집으로 돌아갔다. 21세기에서 온 사람으로서, 위닝은 죽어가는 사람을 그냥 두고 갈 수 없었다. 비록 이 사람이 그에게 무한한 문제를 가져올지도 모르지만.

다행히 위닝의 집은 꽤 외진 곳에 있어서 마을 사람들과 거리가 멀었다. 오직 이 집과 다른 한 가구만이 그와 가까이 있었을 뿐이었다. 하지만 이 시간에는 대부분 사람들이 아직 밭에서 돌아오지 않아서 아무도 보지 못했다는 사실에 위닝은 안도의 한숨을 내쉬었다.

그 사람을 침대에 바로 눕히고 피 묻은 옷을 먼저 벗겼다. 보지 않았으면 몰랐을 텐데, 보니 깜짝 놀랐다. 그의 몸에 있는 상처가 정말 끔찍했다.

위닝은 차가운 공기를 들이마시며 보기만 해도 아픈 것 같았다. 그는 나가서 물 한 대야를 떠와 그의 몸에 묻은 피를 깨끗이 씻어냈다. 위닝은 집에 있는 약간의 상처약을 찾아내고 천으로 그의 상처를 감싸주었다.

이 모든 것을 마친 후에야 위닝은 다시 산에 올라가 자신의 장작을 집으로 가져왔다. 나갈 때는 문을 잠그는 것을 잊지 않았다.

백결이 깨어났을 때는 이미 어두워진 후였다. 방 안에는 어두운 기름등 하나만 켜져 있었고, 밖에서는 소리가 들려왔다.

"깨셨어요?" 위닝은 밥을 다 지은 후 방에 들어와 한 번 살펴보니 그가 눈을 뜨고 밖을 바라보고 있었다.

백결은 전혀 미안한 기색이 없었지만, 일어날 힘도 없어서 그저 입술을 살짝 열어 말했다. "고맙소."

"별말씀을요." 위닝은 그의 창백한 얼굴색을 보고 다가가 물 한 잔을 따라주었다. 어떻게 다친 건지 묻지도 않았다.

위닝은 그에게 죽을 끓여주었고, 그가 다 먹은 후에는 그릇을 가지고 나가서 씻었다.

백결은 이 방을 둘러보았다. 솔직히 말해서 매우 허름했지만, 이곳은 산골 마을이었으니 조건이 좋을 리가 없었다.

백결은 과다 출혈로 인해 얼마 지나지 않아 다시 잠들었다.

이제 위닝이 고민에 빠질 차례였다. 집에는 침대가 하나밖에 없는데, 침대를 그에게 내주었으니 자신은 어디서 자야 할까? 겨우 이 딱딱한 침대에 익숙해졌는데, 이제 바닥에서 자야 한다고? 위닝은 생각할수록 손해 본 것 같았다. 그의 모습을 보니 아마도 부자일 텐데, 그가 나아지면 돈을 좀 뜯어낼 수도 있을지도 모르겠다.

한밤중에 백결은 다시 고열이 났다. 위닝은 자신이 전에 열이 났을 때 아무도 신경 쓰지 않았고, 아무도 그의 생사를 걱정하지 않았던 것을 떠올렸다. 이제는 마음을 굳게 먹을 수 없어서 밤새 그의 침대 옆에서 이 도련님을 간호했다.

날이 밝았을 때도 그가 여전히 열이 있다면, 위닝은 그에게 의사를 불러올 생각이었다. 원래 창백했던 작은 얼굴이 이제는 열로 붉게 달아올랐다.

하지만 백결은 꽤 강인했다. 적어도 위닝이 돈을 쓰게 하지는 않았다. 둘째 날이 되자 백결의 열이 마침내 내려갔고, 위닝은 안도의 한숨을 내쉬며 피곤에 지쳐 탁자에 엎드려 잠이 들었다.

"Yes,"
