In the other world, on the other side of another hill not far from Wei Minsheng's mobile house, there is a small village where more than ten families live.

Most of the people in the village have the surname Wang, all of whom have been handed down from an ancestor who has been here for more than 100 years to escape the war.

There is not much land at the foot of the mountain, and the fertility is not enough, and the grain grown is only enough for the whole village to eat for half a year.

Since iron tools are a strategic resource in this country, ordinary people are generally not allowed to own iron tools, let alone those who are hiding from the war.

Fortunately, the ancestors of these people knew how to dig traps, and there were some tools made of bronze, and there were many small animals in the mountains, and the small animals that were often caught allowed the village to thrive. Occasionally, they used their prey to go outside in exchange for salt, cloth, food, etc., but they had to be careful for fear of bringing any danger to the village.

Wang Xiaobao, male, now over 9 years old, his father was taken away by wild beasts when he went up the mountain to dig a trap two years ago, leaving only a shoe and a pool of blood next to the trap. The mother knew that Hou Yi was ill, and after lying in bed for several months, she never woke up, leaving only a small wooden house for Xiaobao, and she survived by eating a meal from the elders in the village.

Every year on the day of Wang Xiaobao's father's memorial day, Wang Xiaobao would climb the hill behind the village alone and kowtow a few times in the direction of his father's disappearance, hoping that a miracle would occur and his father would return to him alive, although this hope was very slim.

This day is another day of sacrifice for Wang Xiaobao's father, Wang Xiaobao climbed to the top of the mountain early in the morning and kowtowed in the direction of his father's disappearance.

After kowtowing, the sun had just risen behind him, and a bright light shook Wang Xiaobao's eyes. If you look closely, there seems to be something shining on the hill opposite, and there is a box underneath.

What is that, Wang Xiaobao must have not had this shiny thing on the mountain before, could it be that there is something precious on the opposite mountain? Wang Xiaobao suppressed the surprise in his heart and decided to take a look at what it was. Although he had never been to that mountain, it wasn't very far from the distance, so maybe he would be fine if he just looked at it and came back, right?

Wang Xiaobao took half an hour to come to the vicinity of Wei Minsheng's mobile house, hiding behind a big tree and quietly looking at the strange thing on the flat ground on the mountain. I saw a big blue cabinet with a very large barrel-like thing on it, and it was the one that was shining, and it was very dazzling in the sunlight.

The brand-new stainless steel water tank can not shine.

At this time, Wei Minsheng had just gotten up for a while, and was now cooking instant noodles on the other side of the mobile room, when a light breeze blew the fragrance of instant noodles to Wang Xiaobao's hiding place.

Wang Xiaobao hadn't eaten anything in the morning, and after walking for more than an hour on the mountain road, his stomach was already rumbling with hunger, and he could not resist the temptation of this fragrance.

For a while, Wang Xiaobao forgot all his vigilance and involuntarily walked in the direction of the mobile room.

When he was looking for the source of the fragrance, Wei Minsheng happened to turn around with the boiled instant noodles.

For a while, Wang Xiaobao was stunned, and Wei Minsheng was also stunned, what is the situation? How can there be anyone here?

The two stayed for a while, but Wei Minsheng came back to his senses first, thinking that this was the first person he met in the other world, don't be scared away, he still has to rely on this child to learn more about this world.

Seeing that the child's eyes kept looking at the instant noodles he was holding, he was probably a little hungry, so he said to the child, "Do you want to eat?" ”

Wang Xiaobao nodded his head a few times reflexively, the gaze in his eyes clearly radiated the desire to eat, and even forgot about that strange thing, even Wei Minsheng, who was dressed in a strange costume for him, did not pay attention, only the bowl of hot instant noodles in his eyes.

Wei Minsheng handed the bowl and chopsticks to Wang Xiaobao, Wang Xiaobao took it, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, it was so fragrant! Is there really such a fragrant thing in this world? Am I dreaming? It must be, don't wake up now, I must taste what it tastes like.

Wang Xiaobao carefully took a sip of the soup, a strange taste that he had never felt before lingered on his tongue, Wang Xiaobao was completely immersed in that wonderful feeling, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

A bowl of junk food, which is so simple for Wei Minsheng that it couldn't be simpler, is like the most delicious thing in the world in Wang Xiaobao's hands, which makes Wei Minsheng feel very sad: People in this world don't seem to be doing well, I must try to make them get better slowly and live a rich life.

Seeing that Wang Xiaobao ate the bowl of noodles cleanly, almost licking the bowl as if it had been washed, Wei Minsheng said to Wang Xiaobao: "Do you still want to eat it?" ”

Wang Xiaobao touched his stomach and said to Wei Minsheng: "Thank you, uncle, I'm already full." Since Wang Xiaobao grew up eating 100 family meals, this basic politeness is still there.

Wei Minsheng said, "Can you tell me where you came from?" Wang Xiaobao felt that Wei Minsheng had no ill will towards him, so he told Wei Minsheng everything he knew.

After Wei Minsheng learned about the current situation of the village, he said, "Xiaobao, do you want the people in your village to live a better life?" ”

Wang Xiaobao nodded again and again, "I want to, I think about it." ”

"I can make your life better and better, you don't have to go hungry, you don't have to be cold, you have someone to treat when you're sick, and someone to take care of you when you're old, but I can't do it alone, and you still need to work your own."

"The people in our village are working very hard, and the adults go up to the mountains early in the morning to catch hares, pheasants and so on, and they have to farm the land, and everyone works very hard, but they still can't eat, and they can't sleep in the winter."

Wei Minsheng listened, smiled, and said, "You work hard, and you work hard, but there is no good way. If you learn something from me, in a few years, you can grow enough food for ten people for a year. If the conditions are better, you can feed the whole village by yourself, and you will have meat to eat every day. ”

Although Wang Xiaobao is not very old, the elders in the village are very good to him, often tell him stories from the outside, and know that if you want to learn a craft, you have to apprentice, and you have to apprentice to the teacher, but you have to rely on others to give alms for food, so what do you use to pay the apprenticeship fee. Wang Xiaobao whispered: "I really want to apprentice, but I don't have an apprenticeship. ”

"Apprenticeship, I didn't say what apprenticeship you want to receive, it's just that you have learned my knowledge, as long as you are dedicated to the welfare of the common people in the world. Also, you have to do things for me for as long as you learn from me, are you willing? ”

When Wang Xiaobao heard this, he immediately knelt in front of Wei Minsheng, kowtowed and said, "I am willing!" I do! The master is on top, and he is bowed by Xiaobao. ”

Wei Minsheng pulled Wang Xiaobao up and said: "Worship me as a teacher, I don't have any requirements, you respect me, just keep it in your heart, you don't have to kowtow, you know?" ”

"But the patriarch's grandfather said that the master taught him the craft and made his life better, so he had to be grateful, so he had to kowtow to express his gratitude when he saw the master."

"I don't care what happens outside, but here in my place, if you think that I am already your master, the first thing I teach you is that a man has gold under his knees, and no one is worthy of you to kneel, even heaven and earth do not need to kneel to him. Respect for parents and elders is embodied in allowing them to live a better life, allowing them to take care of their old age and medical treatment when they are sick, and respecting others is reflected in helping them in trouble and not hurting them for no reason. If kneeling and kowtowing can solve the problem, do you still need to work hard? When you see me in the future, just bow and say hello, remember? ”

"Master, Xiaobao remembers."
