Chapter 1: The boy who watched the well

Beichen Star Domain, Karo Star, Northern Qi Dynasty

Qingquan Village, Qingquan Town, Luobei County

Today, the town of Clear Springs is as tranquil and peaceful as ever.

The sun was shining, the breeze was like a flocculent, and the industrious farmers tirelessly picked up their farming tools and began to plough the fields.

After all, this is true wherever the peasants feed on the land.

However, what makes people wonder is that there is a child dressed in white sitting next to the ancient well at the three-way road at the entrance of the village, and the child is an orphan.

The child was one meter two or three tall, with a young face, a delicate countenance, and eyes as deep and bright as black gems.

At this time, he was sitting on the edge of the well, frowning and looking into the well, looking like an old man thinking about life.

At this time, when the villagers who went to the fields to farm passed by the ancient well, they couldn't help but greet the young man in white: "Baiyi, are you watching the well again?"

The boy did not speak, but simply answered, and sometimes did not even raise his head, still maintaining the posture of watching the well.

It stands to reason that this child should be disgusted if he doesn't know how to count, but the villagers never care about it.

Because everybody knows that the boy in white has always been like this, and he is like this to everyone, because his mind is in that ancient well.

At first, the villagers wondered if there was really anything special about this ancient well. However, when the villagers found that this ancient well was no different from other ancient wells in the village, they stopped paying attention to the matter and laughed at the behavior of the children in white observing the well.

Another point is that this white-clothed child has been smart since he was a child, and many farm tools are broken and the big guy can't repair it, and the white-clothed child knows how to repair it after looking at it for a while, which makes the big guy no longer despise it, but has a sense of closeness to it.

Because the villagers have a simple and innocent temperament, and the children in white have no thoughts, everyone gets along very happily.

At this moment, a kind voice came: "Baiyi, do you want to go to the field together?"

As soon as the white-clothed child heard this, he immediately looked up, but saw an old man with gray hair and a large white beard approaching with a loving face.

The white-clothed child immediately stood up, trotted over, and suddenly threw himself into the arms of the white-bearded old man, and called out: "Grandpa~"

The white-bearded old man scolded with a smile when he saw the coquettish appearance of the child in white: "How old are you, and you are still coquettish." ”

The white-clothed child spit out his cute little tongue at the white-bearded old man, and hummed proudly: "No matter how big the white-clothed is, he is also grandpa's good grandson." ”

The white-bearded old man smiled happily when he heard this, the wrinkles on his face also relaxed, and he couldn't help but laugh again and again: "Okay, good." ”

"By the way, grandpa, do you want to go to the field too?" the white-clothed child asked curiously, glancing at the farm tool in the white-bearded old man's hand.

The white-bearded old man nodded after hearing this and said, "Well, spring is coming, we must spring plough and sow seeds in time, and we will not have a harvest until autumn." ”

After listening to the white-bearded old man's words, a trace of distress flashed in the eyes of the white-clothed child and said, "Grandpa, aren't you the village chief? I can let those strong uncles do it!"

The white-bearded old man smiled after hearing this, and patiently explained: "Baiyi, although grandpa is the village chief, but doesn't grandpa also have to eat? The other uncles are working, but grandpa is lazy, what do you think in their hearts?" Then he looked at the white-clothed child and asked, "You say, is this fair to the other uncles?"

Sighing, the white-bearded old man glanced at the hard-working villagers in the distance and said seriously: "Those who have a country and a family do not suffer from widowhood but inequality, and do not suffer from poverty but suffer from anxiety. Only when people are treated fairly and justly can they be united and at ease. Only when the village is peaceful, can the villagers get along harmoniously, and can the villagers' lives be happy. ”

The white-clothed child looked stunned when he heard this, and thought about it.

Seeing the white-clothed child pondering the question, the white-bearded old man smiled, wiped the white-clothed child's head dotingly, and asked with a smile, "Did you gain anything from watching the well today?"

The white-clothed child was stunned by the white-bearded old man's question, and then looked at the ancient well made of big stones and said suspiciously: "Grandpa, the bottom of this ancient well always gives me a feeling of wind." But it's not like the wind. I can't say why. ”

The white-bearded old man was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "Don't ask grandpa, grandpa can't do anything other than fight when he was young, but he won't give you any answers." It's up to you to find out for yourself. After the white-bearded old man finished speaking, he jokingly added: "Oh, by the way, grandpa now has another craft, and that is farming." ”

The white-clothed child couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, and then he took the white-bearded old man's hand and said, "Grandpa, I won't watch the well today, I'll go farming with you." ”

The white-bearded old man was very happy when he heard the words of the child in white, and immediately responded, "Okay." Grandpa will teach you how to farm today. ”

The white-clothed child smiled like a crescent moon when he heard this, took the iron catalpa in the hands of the white-bearded old man, and swore solemnly: "Grandpa, I'll help you get it." ”

Who knew that as soon as he took the iron tree from the white-bearded old man's hand, his face changed suddenly, and his little face turned red.

The white-bearded old man couldn't help laughing when he saw it, and then took the iron catalpa and said with a smile: "Baiyi, you are too young to hold it, when you grow up a little more, you can help grandpa share it." ”

The white-clothed child blushed when he heard this, and he didn't know whether he couldn't hold the iron catalpa or was embarrassed and shy, so he immediately handed the iron catalpa to the white-bearded old man in embarrassment.

The white-bearded old man took the catalpa with a smile on his face, put the more than one meter long catalpa on his shoulder, and then walked in the direction of the field.
