There is a Xiao Bay under the Dahong Mountain in central Hubei Province, and there is a Xiao Kunshan in Xiao Bay. Xiao Laosan was originally the son of a landlord, he studied medical school in Wuhan before liberation, and his family property was confiscated during the land reform, his parents were suppressed, and he was beaten into a landlord's dog, fighting to the death every day. That day, he was whipped to the back of the head by a descendant of the same clan named Lagou in the village, and half of the back of the head collapsed, and the blood blisters only gushed out, and Xiao Laosan fell to the ground. Because of his cheap status, people like Xiao Laosan are not as good as dogs, so the villagers don't take it too seriously. Several armed militiamen dragged Xiao Laosan, who was killed, to the south mountain on the edge of the village, and threw him into a mass grave, and threw a few stones at him without even digging a pit, which was considered a burial. In the middle of the night, the sky over Xiaojiawan was full of stars, and a meteor streaked across the sky and landed on Nanshan behind the village. Xiao Laosan got up from the mass grave, and when he walked into the village, he was covered in blood, and a piece of his head was sunken down. Xiao Laosan told people that he was dragged out by wild dogs, took a few bites, and somehow came back to life. The villagers all said that he had a big life, so they didn't fight him again.

The old house of Xiao Laosan's family was requisitioned as the office of the brigade, and he ran to the foot of the south mountain of the village to build a thatched shed, surrounded a small courtyard, far away from Xiaojiawan, and lived in isolation. Not far from his residence is the cemetery in the village, and the villagers say that only people like Xiao Laosan dare to live in this place. Xiao Laosan's grass hut is the only way for Xiao Jiawan people to go to the town to catch the market, after a short time, they saw Xiao Laosan in the small courtyard of the grass hut set up a pine table, a few wicker chairs, a red clay teapot on the table, a few blue porcelain bowls, a piece of paper pasted on the courtyard wall, on which were written four words: transcendent soul. The Chinese medicine Shenhan family is close, and since then, if Xiao Jiawan encounters a family that has died, he will also ask Xiao Laosan to do the next ritual.

Those who rush to the market have a place to rest, and when they are tired, they stop to drink tea. When the countrymen are sick, they all say that they are "evil", and it is inevitable that Xiao Laosan will be found to "drive away the evil". Xiao Laosan went, in addition to pasting a paper talisman and reciting a few spells, he usually used a few herbs on the mountain, most of the time it was a medicine to get sick, and it was very effective. Slowly, Xiao Laosan became more and more famous in the fifty miles of Fangyuan in Dahong Mountain. Xiao Laosan usually goes up the mountain to dig some herbs, and treats people in the tea shed. At the same time, part-time singing scriptures to the dead to exorcise ghosts and watch feng shui, in short, such people have one in the countryside, although they are not welcome, but they are also rare.

Xiao Laosan is almost 60 years old and has not found a wife, Xiao Laosan has a characteristic, people who have no money do not charge money for medical treatment, sometimes Lao Xiao sees whose baby lacks food and clothing, and quietly stuffs some delicious food and drink into their pockets, and the children in a village like to run with him. Xiao Laosan never seemed to be short of money, and everyone speculated that his ancestors left a lot of treasures.

On August 16, 1973, Lagou's wife had a difficult birth, and Xiao Laosan was found, but he was busy until midnight. Xiao Laosan asked the man whether he wanted an adult or a child, and the man thought about it and said that if the child is lost, it can be reborn and protect the adult. According to local customs, children are carried in baskets by men in the middle of the night and thrown to mass graves.

That night, Xiao Laosan drank wine in the old street of the town and returned to the Nanshan tea shed, when a full moon followed him on his head, and when he was turning over a hillside, he suddenly felt a light in front of him, and when he looked up, a huge bright and dazzling meteor was flying above his head to the south unhurriedly. After living a long time, of course Lao Xiao had seen meteors, but he didn't expect this meteor to be so close to him, so close that it almost passed over his head, and he couldn't help but run in the direction where the meteor flew.

He didn't know why he was like this when he was so old. A strange warmth rose in Lao Xiao's heart, as if the bright star was something he missed day and night, feeling very cordial and a little excited. Lao Xiao has been running and running with this meteor like this, fortunately at night, if someone sees him running like crazy in the daytime, they may press him to the ground and push him to the stage to fight. The meteor crossed a small hill covered with pine forests in Nanshan and disappeared, and at this time, Lao Xiao faintly heard a burst of intermittent baby crying. Following this cry, I walked through a pond and walked forward, and then through a bamboo forest, I arrived at the mass grave in Nanshan. Five minutes later, Xiao Laosan came out of the cemetery with the baby he had sentenced to death.

It was the middle of the night, and a full moon hung low in the sky, and the sky full of stars was particularly beautiful in the blue-black sky. Xiao Laosan looked at the baby in his arms as he walked, his eyes were as bright as stars in the sky, and he kept looking at him and smiling, but there was still some blood on his body. Xiao Laosan had an indescribable feeling in his heart, he looked at the moon, and his face was full of confusion.

Under the moonlight, Lao Xiao suddenly vaguely saw the child's eyebrows flickering. Lao Xiao rubbed his eyes, stretched out a pair of rough old hands and gently stroked the blood stains on the baby's forehead, only to find that the baby boy had a half-centimeter-long purple scar above the center of his eyebrows, like a peach blossom petal, which was obviously a birthmark. Xiao Laose carefully checked the marks on the baby's forehead again, and it seemed that the color was only slightly darker, and if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't see anything abnormal at all.

Lao Xiao hugged the baby and went back to the tea shed directly. Someone in the village asked, Xiao Laosan said that the child was a distant relative. It was dark that night, and the dog stopped to drink tea in the tea shed several times but didn't recognize it, and asked Xiao Laosan's name as a child. Xiao Laosan looked at the dog and said word by word, Xiao Yao, his name is Xiao Yao.

Time flies, in a blink of an eye, Xiao Yao is six years old, and he looks white and clean, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, which is quite attractive. Except for Xiao Laosan, no one knew about the spot on Xiao Yao's forehead, because this spot could only faintly shine on the night of the full moon, and it was usually not visible at all.

Xiao Yao always ran around the mountains behind Xiao Laosan's ass when he had nothing to do, like his own grandson. The villagers all said that Xiao Laosan was a bit of a blessing after not dying, and Xiao Laosan listened to it, and there was no expression on his face. Xiao Laosan taught Xiao Yao to read when he was fine. There are two wicker boxes in the bedroom in Xiao Laosan's grass shed, which are full of books, Xiao Yao loves to rummage through the boxes after he is literate, looking for what he likes, sometimes a book can be happy for a day, and if he doesn't understand something, he will ask Xiao Laosan.

The biggest difference between Xiao Laosan and the villagers is that there are many books, all kinds of books, villain books, four famous books, all kinds of ancient books, Xiao Laosan said that this is all saved by him when he studied in Wuhan. Xiao Yao's favorite is Yue Fei in "The Legend of Yue Fei", he thinks that Yue Fei is simply a god-like existence, and he is obsessed with him.
