Chapter 1: The Newborn

"Jing Lang, why did you come back with a stone," a woman in coarse cloth clothes whispered.

"Alas, I didn't hit the prey today and met a big cat, which chased me to the edge of a cliff, but fortunately there is a hole below, otherwise I would have died, and I would have brought back this strange stone in the cave," sighed the man in animal skin, who was naked and wearing animal skins.

"I didn't hurt anything, I didn't hunt if I didn't hunt, but don't hurt anywhere," the woman said anxiously

"It's okay, it's okay, let the thorns prick twice when you slide down, put this big stone on the edge of the firewood house, and make it a memorial," the man said indifferently.

"That's good, that's good, hurry up and drink some wild vegetable soup, the wild vegetables I just went to find today, and a few red fruits" The woman's tone gradually calmed down.

"Well, I'll look for it in the east tomorrow," the man took a sip of the soup that the woman had brought over in a clay bowl, and touched a smaller red fruit in one hand.

After eating and taking care of it, the night was getting deeper, and the two of them had fallen asleep.

The stone that the man had brought back emitted a glow, and the stone outside began to fall off, forming a round egg.

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shone on the 'egg', and the 'egg' trembled slightly as if it was about to break.

A crisp sound of opening the door seemed to make the "egg" jump and stop trembling.

"Shan'er, I'm going out, let's see if there is any prey in the east, and I'll fight two of them and come back for a tooth sacrifice," the man said as he grabbed his longbow and carried the arrow basket on his back, and a small short knife pinned to his waist and walked out.

"Jing Lang, be careful, I'll make you bean cakes when you come back," the woman echoed as she girded her belt.

After the man walked away, the woman began to get busy, and suddenly saw the stone that the man brought back yesterday. Forget it, wait for Jing Lang to come back and let him see, the woman thought to herself.

"Good guy, just arrived here and met a big rabbit" The man excitedly pulled out his bow and shot an arrow, only to see that the rabbit was nailed to the ground by an arrow, the man picked up the rabbit and went home, first brought it back to make Shan'er happy.

"Shan'er, Shan'er," the man shouted when he was still half a mile away from home. “

Jing Lang" The woman heard the man tell him to hurry out, "What a big fat rabbit" The woman exclaimed

"Shan'er, hurry up and boil hot water, we will eat rabbits at night" Jing Lang looked proud

"Well, by the way, go and see that stone from yesterday seems to have turned into an egg," said the woman, busily speaking.

The boy walked to the side of the firewood room, and when he saw a round stone egg, he wondered, and muttered, 'Isn't that the beast that made the egg in the stone?'

As he spoke, he reached up and touched it, and suddenly, the egg felt someone touch him and began to tremble.

'Huh, what the hell is this,' the man jumped, and quickly withdrew his hand.

"Shan'er, come and see, this stone can move" The man hurriedly called the woman, and the woman heard that she ran over, and also reached out and touched the stone, and the stone moved more vigorously

The woman under jumped, "What kind of stone is this, it can still move"

The two looked at each other with a bewildered expression

"Why don't you show it to Uncle Shan?" the woman said, "Forget it, it may be that the bottom is not stable, let's move into the house and take a look" The man didn't want others to know that he was chased by a big cat, so he found a way casually.

After the stone was moved into the house by the man, the two had nothing to do touching the stone and joking. As for the stone, it vibrates every morning when the sun shines on him, as if he is enjoying the feeling of the sun.

Day after day, gradually the two of them also took touching the stones as a pastime after tea and dinner.

Until one day, the two began to quarrel, "It's been two years, the stomach hasn't moved, and the hens have laid several litters" The man said angrily

"You don't work hard yourself, how can I give birth, do you want to divorce me and go outside to find the vixen," the woman cried.

"Alas, let's go down the mountain tomorrow to find Uncle Li to take a look, I can't be childless all the time, how can I be worthy of my dead father and mother," the man said with a sad face.

A light came from the stone next to them, and the two stopped arguing and looked at the stone.

The stone began to fall off layer by layer, turning into a glittering ball.

"Jing Lang, what's going on, I'm afraid there's a monster inside," the woman said fearfully

"Don't be afraid, and wait and see" The man comforted the woman as he pulled out a short knife

The ball slowly cracked, and the beam became more and more dazzling, but fortunately, the two lived in the mountains, and according to the rules of the village, no one saw the forest for five years.

The light slowly faded away, and a small doll was lying inside, still sucking in its mouth, and a round jade was running in its little hand, on which was engraved a script.

"This is a child from God," the woman excited

"Shan'er, don't worry, wait for me to see if it's a monster" The man slowly touched the little doll's side

"There is a degree, there is a heartbeat, it's a doll" The man calmly looked at the child who came out of the stone

"It's said that it's a child given to us by God, but you still don't believe it" The woman walked up to the child and picked it up, "This child still has a piece of jade in his hand"

The man picked it up from the child's hand and looked at it, "It's really a piece of Kodama, and I don't know what the word is on it." There are still two years to go down the mountain, and then find someone to take a look. ”

Just got a child and the two were happy, the woman carefully held the child to sleep, and the man also looked at the child sideways, but the child didn't care about the two of them, and he didn't cry or make trouble and slept all the time.

Early the next morning, the man went into the mountains, and in the evening he came home with a sheep that had just laid its young, and its head was covered with grass residue and something.

"I don't say a word when I go so early and come back so late, but I am worried," the woman said angrily to the man

The man seemed to be very tired, and he didn't speak, he pinched the goat's milk and milked most of the bowl, and then fed the child, and the child didn't cry, and began to drink as soon as his mouth touched the bowl, and drank a whole bowl of milk with a small mouth. Two big, dark eyes looked at the man.

"Babbling babbling"

The child didn't know what to say, and the man was nervous, "Come on." Call Daddy Daddy"

"Daddy" The doll said crisply, and the man kissed the child excitedly, "There is still a mother, and a mother" The woman said anxiously

"Mother~" The doll screamed sweetly

"It is worthy of being a child sent by God to accompany us, and we will be able to speak in the next two days, the son of God, the son of God" The man thanked God excitedly.

One night, the two coaxed the child to call his father and mother, so unhappy.

After a few months, the child began to be able to walk, "I'll go catch rabbits for Tian'er to eat," the man said with a doting face

"Okay, I'll wait for Daddy to come back," the little boy sat happily on the edge of the door.

Soon after the man left, the woman also began to take care of the affairs of the house, and the boy suddenly fainted...
