Cold Wind City, located in the north of the Heavenly Star Continent, is a small border city. The four seasons are bitterly cold, and the north wind blows from spring to winter. The origin of Coldwind City stems from this never-ending north wind. To the north of Cold Wind City is Beihai, to the east is Jade Owl Mountain, to the south is the hinterland of the mainland, and to the west is the famous place where birds don't poop - Buzhou Mountain.

The North Sea is rich in a kind of seafood called barracuda, which is fatty and sweet, and is deeply loved by people from all over the mainland. The locals made a living by fishing in the North Sea, and although they were not wealthy, they could barely make ends meet.

There are often mountain spirits and ghosts on the Jade Owl Mountain in the east, and man-eating beasts are infested, and there are few human tracks, but there is the most scarce healing medicine in the whole continent, Snow Jade Mountain Ginseng. Snow jade mountain ginseng, one inch and one product, nine products are kings, and it can live dead with white bones. A three-inch-long snow jade ginseng can sell for thousands of taels of silver, and the king of nine-pinned ginseng only exists in legends. In Cold Wind City, a few dozen taels of silver are enough for an ordinary person's expenses for a year. So many people want to get rich overnight, and they have gone to Jade Owl Mountain to dig ginseng, and these people are also called visitors. Batch after batch of visitors walked into Jade Owl Mountain with the dream of making a fortune, and only 12 out of 10 came out in the end, which was lucky.

The terrain of Jade Owl Mountain is complex, the trees cover the sky and the sun, the snow does not melt for many years, and there are deep cliffs and deep gullies hidden under the snow, even the most experienced visitors dare not say that they will be able to come out of the mountain if they enter the mountain. What's more, there are often heavy snowfalls in the mountains, and the north wind blows goose-featherlike snowflakes on people's faces, and the power is no less than that of stones, and they can't open their eyes. There was snow on all sides, and if the two of them were separated by a few meters, they couldn't even see each other's figures, and the footprints left behind were blown by the wind, leaving only a white expanse of snow. If you run into a blizzard in the mountains, you can only ask for more blessings and resign yourself to fate.

There are also unknown mountain spirits and ghosts in the Jade Owl Mountain, man-eating beasts, and if you are unlucky, you can only blame yourself for growing two legs. This is just a natural disaster, natural disasters can be prevented, but man-made disasters cannot be prevented. How many visitors have escaped natural disasters and picked mountain ginseng, but in the end they did not escape the knife stabbed in the back. Despite this, there is still an endless stream of people who come to Jade Owl Mountain to try their luck.

To the west of Coldwind City is the legendary land forsaken by the gods, Buzhou Mountain. There were no flowers or trees, no animals or beasts, nothing but swarthy stones, not even a bird in the sky. Legend has it that a long time ago, Buzhou Mountain had the richest land, and the most powerful clan was born here, the Buzhou clan. Later, the Buzhou clan disobeyed the orders of the gods and did not respect the call of the gods, so the gods sent a curse, causing the mountains of Buzhou to ignite a fire, burning all the people of the Buzhou clan. The fire continued to burn for many years, and all the vitality on Buzhou Mountain was burned, and only dead air remained. Later, the fire was extinguished, but nothing could grow in Buzhou Mountain. The richest mountain in the legend has become the most desolate place abandoned by the gods. There are also rumors that Buzhou Mountain is buried with all the wealth of the Buzhou clan and the secret of the Buzhou clan's strength, and whoever finds it will be able to reproduce the glory of the Buzhou clan back then. Over the years, countless scholars, warriors, swordsmen, and cultivators have entered the abandoned land, trying to find the secrets left behind by the Buzhou clan, but they have found nothing. Over time, the abandoned land was gradually forgotten, and only desolate peaks remained, like sharp swords piercing into the sky.

In the autumn of the thirteenth year of Yanwu, the sky was not yet bright, and the fog in the early morning had not dissipated, most of the people in Cold Wind City were sleeping soundly, and the guards in the city were sleepy one by one, leaning on the city wall and dreaming of their spring and autumn dreams. On such a cold morning, no one should have been outside the city gate, but a middle-aged man in a tattered green shirt appeared, with a large burden on his chest. The man staggered, obviously too tired, and slammed into the city gate as he walked. Seeing that he was about to hit the city gate, he saw that the man's fingers moved slightly, and he made an unknown handprint, and passed through the city gate straight like that. It's just that the man seemed to be more tired after making his handprints, and finally walked to the door of an inn, and he didn't even have the strength to knock on the door, so he sat down on the ground like that. After a while, the man's figure became lighter and fainter, and finally turned into a cloud of green smoke and got into the baggage, leaving only one burden lying there quietly.

Li Ping'an, also known as Li Da Face, was born with a surprisingly big face, and is a buddy at the Wutong Inn. Every morning, he had to get up early, brave the cold wind, fetch water, chop wood, and clean the courtyard. Today, Li Da's face was the same as usual, first filled the water tank with water, and then took a broom to clean the front of the inn, and as soon as he opened the door, he found that there was a burden in front of the inn.

Li Ping'an looked around, but found no one, and wondered whose package this was, and if he didn't want to put it here? At this moment, there seemed to be a baby's cry in the baggage. Li Ping'an approached the burden and opened it to see that it was a baby crying alone in the big package. It's just that the baby is thin and small, and its limbs are like four small firewood sticks, and after seeing Li Ping'an, not only did he cry, but he also stretched out two slender little arms and babbled to hug him. Li Ping'an looked around, but he didn't see anyone, thinking to himself, who threw the child here. Seeing that the child was about to cry again, he had to pick up the child with the package. As soon as Li Ping'an picked up the child, he found that there was an auspicious cloud jade pendant beside the child. I saw that the color of this jade pendant was milky white and transparent, without a trace of impurities, and the carving was also very fine. Li Ping'an works as a buddy in the inn, and he can't save a few taels of silver in a year, where have he ever seen such a good thing. He secretly said in his heart: "As the saying goes, gold and silver are priceless and jade is priceless, and this jade pendant knows that it is priceless at a glance." The jade pendant that the old rich man often plays with is said to be worth a thousand taels of silver, but it is not as good as this one. I can't earn this piece of jade money in my life. Li Ping'an looked around carefully, and didn't see anyone, so he put the jade pendant into his arms, thinking, as soon as Ming'er sells this jade pendant, I will also buy an inn and be the boss myself. He looked down at the child again, and said to himself: "I can be regarded as your life-saving benefactor, if I hadn't found you in time, you would have frozen to death on such a cold day." Your jade pendant can be regarded as a reward for me. At this time, it was already dark, and Li Ping'an stood in front of the inn and waited for a long time before he saw anyone looking for the child.

Li Da faced the child and hugged it, not to let it go, not to let it go. I waited and waited, but no one came. At this time, the number of people on the street gradually increased, including those who bought vegetables and sold vegetables, those who carried a flat pole and shook a rattle, those who sharpened scissors and kitchen knives, and those who led pigs, cows, and sheep to sell. In a few moments, the whole street was noisy.

At this time, the innkeeper Zhou Youcai had already finished washing, and happened to see Li Da Face standing in front of the door with a package, and thought that Li Ping'an was leaving, so he hurriedly shouted: "Stop, big face." You've packed all this stuff, don't you want to do it?"

Li Dayan heard that it was the boss. That's when I came to my senses. Hurriedly replied: "Boss, boss, you want to be bad, this package is not mine, I picked up a child at our door, and I haven't seen anyone looking for it for a long time, I don't know what to do! Li Da Mian explained to the boss.

"It's really fake, show it to me. Zhou Youcai took the package and saw that he was really a child. It's just that this kid has lost weight.

The proprietress heard Li Da's face shouting about the child, pushed open the door and walked over, and saw that her man was holding a child.

"What kind of child, take that child and I'll see. As he spoke, he took the child from Zhou Youcai's hand. The woman's family is always soft-hearted, and when she saw this little guy's thin and pitiful strength, her heart was sour, and she almost burst into tears. The little guy stared at his big black eyes, looked left and right, and his little mouth was very cute. The proprietress continued: "It's already great luck that a baby didn't freeze to death on such a cold day, and the old monk of Ci'en Temple doesn't often say that saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter." Lao Zhou, I think this kid is quite close to us, you see, laughed again. ”

It is said that the name of this proprietress is Shui Niang, who was originally the head brand of Chunfeng Building, and when she got older, she married Zhou Youcai, who died of his wife, as a concubine, and ran this small inn. Although they are not very rich, they can live a good life, but the two are getting older and older, but they have no children. Although Zhou Youcai didn't say anything, Shui Niang actually felt guilty all the time. However, he hurt his body by taking medicine in his early years, and his stomach has not been angry all these years, but he has no choice after seeing that the Zhou family is about to break.

Originally, Zhou Youcai had a son, but his life was not good, and he fell ill and died early when he was very young, and the original wife also followed because of her son's early death and excessive sadness. Later, a Taoist priest from Youfang calculated a hexagram, saying that Zhou Youcai was not destined to be childless, but the time had not yet come, and he would naturally know when the time came. Later, when I met Shui Niang, the two were also in love. It's just that Shui Niang herself knows that she may not be able to have children in the future. didn't expect things to be so coincidental, Li Da Face happened to pick up a child. After the water lady took a closer look at the baby, she liked it more and more.

I saw that although the baby was thin and petite, it had a pair of smart eyes, and was looking at the water lady curiously. The only thing that is a little lacking is that there is a black birthmark on the baby's left arm, which looks very abrupt.

"Old Zhou, this child is very pitiful! Let's raise it first, see if anyone comes to look for it in a few days, if no one comes, let's take him as a son." The water lady obviously likes this little guy very much, and keeps teasing him.

Lao Zhou was originally a simple and honest person, seeing that his mother-in-law liked it, and he had no heirs, and thought of what the old Taoist priest had said, he replied: "If you like it, maybe the gods took pity on my Zhou family and gave this child." ”

It's just that this child is really too thin and weak, and he suffered some wind and cold, and he fell asleep in Shui Niang's arms after a while. Shui Niang didn't care at first, she thought it would be good to sleep, who knew that the little guy had slept all day and didn't look like he was going to wake up at all, which made Shui Niang anxious, and hurriedly asked Lao Zhou to invite Mr. Jiang from Qihuangzhai to come over.

"Elder Jiang, look at what's wrong with this kid, he's been asleep all day," Shui Niang said anxiously.

An old man in a white robe with crane hair and a childish face looked carefully at the little guy who was asleep, frowned, put his hand on the child's hand again, closed his eyes and pondered for a while before saying: "This child's innate vitality is so seriously damaged, and he is suffering from wind and cold, he should have died early, but the old man looks at the pulse, although his pulse is weak, there is a feeling of endless life, which is really strange." In addition, this child is so young but his whole body is skinny, it is clearly a loss of qi and blood, but his bones and veins are very strong, which is strange and strange. After I prescribe a few pills to take first, the child should be able to wake up within half a day, and it should be fine for a few days to recuperate, but the child's congenital vitality loss is really bad, and I am afraid that he will be weak and sick for the rest of his life. ”

"Elder Jiang, can you make up for this loss of innate vitality?" Shui Niang hurriedly asked.

"It's not that I can't make up for it, it's just that this medicine is too hard to find. Jiang Lao sighed.

"What medicine?" asked the water lady again.

"I've seen it from a scrap of a medical book, one is ambergris, and the other is Jiupin Snow Jade Ginseng King. Ambergris is born in the dragon's den, and does not grow without the dragon's saliva. The dragon is a legendary beast, not to mention the ambergris grass that grows under the water of the dragon's lair in the dragon's lair. There is still a little possibility of another nine-grade snow jade ginseng king, but the best snow jade ginseng that the old man has seen for decades is only worthy of the seventh grade, and he was escorted by the city lord himself and the iron guards on the same day, and presented to the lord of the country. The King of Jiupin Ginseng is even more unheard of. Jiang Lao said with emotion.

"Then there is no other way?" Zhou Youcai asked anxiously.

"Actually, you and your wife don't have to be too anxious, this child will only be weaker than ordinary people in the future, as long as the care is better, try to make him less sick, and he can still grow up safely." Jiang Lao comforted

After Jiang Lao wrote the prescription and medical order, Zhou Youcai arranged for Li Da Face to send Jiang Lao back, and by the way, he would take the medicine back. When Li Da Mian grabbed the medicine back, Zhou Youcai Shui Niang hurriedly fried the medicine again, for fear of delaying for half a minute, until Shui Niang gave the medicine to the child, and the two of them sighed deeply.

"Lao Zhou, give the child a name, Jiang Lao said that the child is fine, then it is naturally fine. This will be our child from now on!"

"Well, I was destined to have no children, but I was blessed by heaven to send me a child. Jiang Lao said that he may be weak and sick in the future, and I didn't have any other expectations, I just hoped that he could live a long time, so let's call it Changsheng. ”
