The sunlight poured through the shadows of the trees, and the golden spots seemed to be golden leaves on the moist soil covered with withered leaves. Reptiles, ants and snakes occasionally appear, swimming on them, making a "salashala" sound. The birds pass through the dense branches, the cheerful cry is pleasant, and the sound of "fluttering" flapping wings is full of life and vitality.

It is a humble hill, and at the foot of the hill sits a small village that has only flourished for hundreds of years. Most of the people in the village fled for hundreds of years due to war, famine, floods, plagues and other reasons, and lived together, forming this small village over time.

There is a tall poplar tree at the entrance of the small village, which is said to have been planted by the first generation of villagers, and it is still very tall and has become a symbol of the small village, so the small village is also named "Poplar Village".

Before the villagers fled, most of them were commoners or slaves of rich families, and there were very few high-ranking officials and nobles, and even if there were, it was just a dilapidated little rich family. If it's a civilian, then there's a name; If it is a slave, the name is just a code name given by the master's family, so these villagers simply take "Yang" as their surname as a kind of farewell to the past.

Yangshu Village belongs to the jurisdiction of Yanjing Town, both in terms of population and economy, it is at the bottom of the list, and the street of Yanjing Town alone is more prosperous than this small village. But in this vast Xuanwu continent, Yanjing Town is not even a small sesame seed on the map.

The Xuanwu Continent is extremely vast and is governed by nine countries: the central part is the Mo State, which is ruled by the Mo clan; The northern coastal area is the Wei State of the Fifth Clan, and the Jin Kingdom of the Ouyang Clan and the Cangguo of the Lin Clan are sandwiched between the Wei State and the Mo State; In the south of the Mexican kingdom are the Wu kingdom of the Xiang clan and the Yue kingdom of the Chen clan; To the east of the Mexican kingdom were the Qin state of the Li clan and the Zhou state of the Song clan; To the west of the Xuanwu Continent is the Xia Kingdom ruled by the Ming clan.

The most famous on the Xuanwu Continent is Erlin, Yize and a domain, Erlin refers to the Qincang Mountains in the northeast of the Xuanwu Continent and the Jinlan Mountains in the southwest, both across several countries, is the place where the brave yearn for it, and it is also the place where the bones are buried; Yize is the Yunmengze country in the southeast of the mainland, thousands of miles of swamps, thousands of miles of rainforest, full of illusions, if there are outsiders who mistakenly enter this place, it is almost impossible to get out of the whole body; A domain is the endless sand sea in the territory of the Xia country, 60% of the land of the Xia country is covered by yellow sand, this desert is also called the domain of Xia, there are many dangers, no one has been able to explore the end of the domain of Xia in ancient times, therefore, the domain of Xia is also called "endless sand domain".

The Xuanwu Continent is dominated by spiritual power cultivation, and everyone can go to the spiritual training center in their respective region after their fifth birthday to awaken their spiritual power, and only those who are judged to be qualified in spiritual power can be allowed to practice spiritual power and gradually grow into a spiritual master; Those who are judged to be unqualified in spiritual power are not allowed to practice spiritual power, and they can choose any other career direction to study except for not being able to become a spiritual master.

However, the awakening of spiritual power is not a free benefit, because the awakening requires the use of a special spiritual spring, and the number of such spiritual springs is extremely limited, and the place where it is produced is controlled by the royal elders of various countries, the annual output is not much, and the share allocated to each spiritual practice is also small, and the spiritual training needs to pay the same amount of purchase fee.

Every time you awaken, this part of the spiritual spring will lose its spiritual power and become ordinary water, so each spiritual practice will charge a certain awakening fee to meet the needs of purchasing the spiritual spring.

For poor families, such an opportunity to awaken can only be obtained at the cost of not eating or drinking at home for several years, which is a lot of money even for ordinary people.

Not to mention the cost, the risk of the result of the awakening of spiritual power is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Therefore, in the Xuanwu Continent, there are many people who have been unable to awaken their spiritual power for a long time, and the position of spiritual master only accounts for a small number of people in the mainland, and most people are still engaged in ordinary occupations, spending decades of their lives ordinarily.

Because of the wealth of capital in the royal family and the family, the children of the family have the opportunity to awaken their spiritual power, and there are not a few who have successfully grown into spiritual masters. These people contribute to the growth of the family after they become adults, just like a snowball, the wealth of the family accumulates, the status of the family only rises but does not fall, and the population of the family continues to grow.

The upper echelons of society have always been monopolized by the royal family and the family, the poor get poorer and poorer, and the commoners spend their lives ordinarily.

The solidification of the class makes these people living in the middle and lower strata of society can only watch the barrier between people in this layer getting thicker and thicker, and it is too difficult to break this barrier and make their family children no longer ordinary.

In a small village like Yangshu Village, the expectation for their children is nothing more than to grow up safely and start a family smoothly. If you are lucky, you can accumulate a little wealth for future generations, and then it will be like green smoke on the ancestral grave.

That's what Yang Tiesan, who lives in the north of the village, thinks.

Yang Tiesan is forty years old this year, and some of the other men in the village at the same age have already become grandfathers, but Yang Tiesan's little doll is only five years old. Why is that? It's nothing more than poverty, Yang Tiesan got married late, and the child naturally jumped out later.

Yang Tiesan is in the third line of the family, with two brothers and a sister on the top, named Yang Tieda, Yang Tieer and Yang Damei, and a younger sister named Yang Xiaomei.

The Yang family has been farming for a living for generations, it is said that the ancestor is the slave of which noble family in which country, the noble family dismissed all the slaves after the breakdown, and caught up with the famine season, the ancestor of the Yang family fled with the flow of people, fortunately the village chief of Yangshu Village at that time took him in, and stayed here, with Yang as his surname, and multiplied.

There are many children in Yang Tiesan's generation, and life can only be so tight.

Fortunately, not all the family affairs of poor families are so indescribable, the atmosphere of the Yang family is quite harmonious, it should be said that the entire Yangshu Village can be regarded as a well-known place of harmony.

After all, they are all poor people, and it is fate to be able to get together. From the beginning of the establishment of the village, the villagers have supported each other, so the remaining village rules also prohibit private fighting, and require future generations to help each other and live in harmony.

Although ordinary, but comfortable, the people of Poplar Village always have a faint smile on their faces.

The Yang family finally paid for Yang Tieda's marriage and Yang Damei's marriage, but the remaining money was not enough for the marriage of several other children.

Yang Tie went up the mountain to collect medicine when he was young and fell lame on one leg, and when he grew up, it was an obstacle to talk about marriage. According to the opinion of the second elder of the Yang family, first focus on the marriage of Yang Tiesan and Yang Xiaomei, and then consider Yang Tieer.

However, Yang Tiesan respected his brother and loved his sister, so he took the initiative to ask to work in the town to help save enough for his brother and sister's wedding expenses. Of course, the second elder of the Yang family felt sorry for this little son, but Yang Tie had no choice but to leave home at night.

From the age of fifteen to thirty, Yang Tiesan earned money to allow his brother and sister to have a beautiful marriage; Since the age of 30, due to the deterioration of the physical condition of the two elders of the Yang family, they have saved money for medical expenses while saving money for their wife.

At the age of thirty-four, Yang Tiesan met a young girl in the western village under the introduction of a matchmaker. This girl is twenty years old, and if it weren't for the fact that she was the only one left because of the family's suffering, she would not have been introduced to such an "old" man who was fifteen years older than her.

It is also thanks to Yang Tiesan's good face, who looks like he is only in his twenties when he is over thirty, coupled with his good character, practical and capable, he has saved a little savings after many years of work, and there is no malicious and difficult evil daughter-in-law at home, so this girl also agreed shyly.

Yang Tiesan was overjoyed, and asked the gentleman in the village to choose an auspicious day of the month, and hurriedly married this girl.

This girl's name is Lin Huarong, and it is also a coincidence, Lin Huarong's ancestor is also a slave dismissed by a down-and-out nobleman.

It's just that Lin Huarong once achieved the position of a housekeeper and grandmother, and she can also recognize Braille, so that the future generations who teach her will not be blind.

Therefore, the name is not as casual as the Yang family, and a "big, two, three, small" or something is placed in order, but it is filled in with words and phrases such as "flower appearance and moon appearance", and Lin Huarong's name is how it came from.

It's a pity that a fire burned down this home, if it weren't for Lin Huarong working in the restaurant in the town, I'm afraid there would only be a handful of ashes left now.

Yang Tiesan and Lin Huarong got along very harmoniously, not long after getting married, Yang Tiesan in order to take care of the second elder in the family, he took the savings he had saved for several years and left the town, went home to buy five acres of land to plant cotton, and contracted a small piece of woodland to the village to plant fruit trees, and it was no problem to support his family.

A year after they got married, Yang Tiesan and Lin Huarong's child was also born, a little girl.

Yang Tiesan treated her like a jewel, and sighed with a smile that it would be satisfying to have such a daughter in this life, anyway, his eldest brother already has two sons, and he has no so-called "task" of having a son, so it is enough for such a child to raise her well.

The little girl's nickname is Bu Zha Ye, which was given to her by her mother. It is said that children are easy to feed by cheap names, but Lin Huarong doesn't want her own daughter to be named "second egg" and "sheep egg", so it is better to call it "cloth slag leaf".

Cloth slag leaves, that is a kind of herb abundant in the place where Lin Hua Rongzu did the housekeeper's mother, it is easy to feed, and the locals like to use it to boil it into herbal tea, mix it with some rock sugar, and drink it in a cold breath, refreshing.

In this way, the little girl was given a unique nickname, which will resound throughout the continent in the future, but now, it is just a nickname for a milk baby.

The name of the cloth slag leaf is Yang Yongyong, which was given to her by her father, and she barely got rid of the Yang family's habit of naming her name after numbers, but ...... Isn't it strange that the little girl is called by this name?

Yang Tiesan is very satisfied with his naming level.

Brave, brave, what a kindness. A brave little baby sounds very spiritual.

This little milk baby with a soft and cute appearance that doesn't match the name has grown up day by day.

She likes her mother's soft and fragrant embrace, likes her father's strong and powerful arms, likes to play with Erdan, Tie Niu, and Yang Hua on the village path, and likes to follow her father to the mountains to pick fruits.

Today she turned five years old, and in the Xuanwu Continent, it was time for a five-year-old child to go to the spiritual training center to awaken spiritual power.

But this is just a small town and village in Cangguo, who would think about such a thing?

It's better to think about what crops will be more profitable to plant this year.
