Aimlessly, he stumbled down the cliff. He was lucky enough to hang on a small tree and was saved by an old man who was picking herbs.

When he woke up, he saw that the old man was about the same age as his grandmother, so he affectionately called him grandpa.

Lao Langzhong was very relieved, found the orphanage and went through the relevant procedures, and took him in from then on. Lao Langzhong's surname is Jiang, he has no children, and often sees doctors for the people for a living.

Lao Langzhong has a lot of books in his home, and he can read them casually. He was interested in books, but he couldn't read them.

Lao Langzhong saw it in his eyes and began to teach him to read and write.

Lao Langzhong is very patient with him and always tires of it. He later learned that Lao Langzhong was a professor at a university before, but later had a serious illness, so he chose to leave the university and return to the countryside.

After a long illness to become a good doctor, Lao Langzhong read a lot of books and taught himself a lot of medical techniques. Not only did he cure his own illness, but he also gradually treated the people in the neighborhood. Because of his good medical skills, the local people trusted him.

Every day, when Lao Langzhong was seeing a doctor for the people, he read and studied alone. When Lao Langzhong went to collect medicine, he accompanied him. Therefore, he has known a lot of Chinese herbal medicines since he was a child.

In the dead of night, he can still follow Grandpa Jiang to learn to practice Qigong to strengthen his body.

When he reached the age of five, Lao Lang sent him to school. Because of the good foundation laid for him by Lao Langzhong, his academic performance has always been second to none.

When he graduated from elementary school, he began to read more of Lao Langzhong's collection, including classical philosophy, Chinese medicine, and history...... Also, there are many Chinese and foreign masterpieces.

He was addicted to it, as if he had swam into an ocean of knowledge, and he was alone. So, his classmates ridiculed him for being a bookworm.

Of the books he read, his favorite was classical philosophy. He believes that ancient things can be passed down forever, and they must be good things, just like those Chinese herbal medicines that have been grown for countless years.

In addition to studying, he is happiest to follow Lao Langzhong to practice qigong. He began to practice martial arts qigong, at first just learning to inhale and absorb qi, then to learn luck and use qi, and then to master the use of qi.

By the time he graduated from junior high school, he was admitted to one of the best local high schools. In his grade, his grades were among the best.

However, good days are always so short-lived.

His grandfather Jiang accidentally fell off a cliff when he was going up the mountain to collect Chinese herbs.

Before he was sent to the hospital in the town, Grandpa Jiang had already stopped breathing and didn't have time to give him any explanation.

Grandpa Jiang's death hit him hard. He once thought that he killed his grandfather Jiang, and he was a disaster.

He found someone to bury Grandpa Jiang and donated Grandpa Jiang's books to the orphanage.

Without financial resources, he didn't want to study anymore. His high school homeroom teacher felt sorry and tried to keep him.

His high school homeroom teacher's surname is Zhu, and she is a famous female teacher who graduated from a prestigious university. Teacher Zhu was very good to him and asked him to eat with their family.

Because he solved the problem of eating, he was able to successfully complete his sophomore year of high school.

However, there were unforeseen circumstances, and his beloved teacher Zhu died of a cerebral hemorrhage when he was about to retire.

At this time, he became a rootless duckweed again. He, again, lost his support.

He had no other way, so he dropped out of school after the sophomore exam and returned to Shuanglong Village. His house was dilapidated, but it was still sheltered.

The village chief recognized him as a top student and helped him find the principal of the village primary school and made him a part-time local Chinese teacher, teaching Chinese to the first grade students.

As a primary school Chinese teacher, this was his first job. He is very serious, hard-working, and very dedicated, so he has been recognized by the school.

Unfortunately, after only a few months of teaching, the village school was demolished and all the students were transferred to the town center primary school.

Because he did not have a teaching certificate, the town center primary school could not accept him.

At this time, the village chief, who had always been very good to him, also passed away. All of a sudden, he lost the last person who cared about him.

He thought at the time that maybe picking up the rags was a way out. When he was about to pick up the rubb, he found that the site where he was picking up the rubbish was gone, and the person in charge of collecting the rubbish had disappeared.

He was devastated, felt that there was no way out, and was almost about to sink. A high school classmate who dropped out of school at the same time as him, became a gangster in society, came to him and wanted him to play with them.

Fortunately, at this time, he saw that the town was looking for a contract worker. He regained hope and applied to take the exam, which resulted in first place.

But during the interview, he was inexplicably brushed off. In the end, it was the gangster classmate who didn't learn and didn't know how to advance.

He was very disappointed in himself, and he felt even more that he was a disaster star who could not be helped, and a dou who couldn't be helped.

In the end, he painfully thought: in this place, he can't do anything, he can't do anything.

In the pain, he remembered his grandmother who used to depend on each other, Grandpa Jiang who loved him, and Teacher Zhu and the village chief who cared about him.

He felt that in this place, he had no more concerns. So, he decided to leave this place.

"By the way, I should go see Grandma first" He came to the hill behind the village of Ssangyong, where there was Grandma's grave.

Next to his grandmother's grave was his mother's grave. He first bowed to his grandmother's grave, and then bowed to his mother's grave.

"Click" His backpack fell off, and a shabby piece of clothing was scattered on the ground. He looked down and picked up his clothes, and saw the bulging pockets.

He carefully opened the sewn pocket, and inside it was still the old yellowed sheepskin and the ordinary little stone.

He looked at the small stone, a cyan serpentine, dull in color and without lustre.

He took a thin thread from his bag, tied it up, hung it around his neck, and hid it inside his clothes.

Then he began to study the sheepskin.

In the sun, the sheepskin was bright yellow, and a few lines of graceful handwriting were clearly displayed in front of his eyes: "Take this sheepskin and go to one of the three families to get engaged, otherwise it will be difficult for you to live past the age of eighteen." ”

The final signature is "Mother", followed by the names and addresses of the three betrothed partners. In addition, he discovered a strange alphabet on the back of the sheepskin.

"It turns out that my mother made these arrangements before she died," he sighed.

However, he is now a poor bastard, and he doesn't even have enough money for the journey, so what can he do to get engaged?

However, since this marriage was arranged by his mother, whether it was justified or not, he had to try it in order to live past the age of eighteen.

He planned for a while, and planned to go to work in other places first, and then look for it according to the address when he earned some money.

The next day, he came to Grandpa Jiang's grave to say goodbye. He then immediately left for the nearest major city.
