There is a town shop in the place of more than 5,000 miles southeast outside Tangwu City, named Zuojia Town, Zuojia Town is surrounded by mountains on all sides, located in a remote area, although it is close to the mountains and seas, the people are outstanding, but it is relatively closed, and there is little communication with the outside world.

There are three big families in Zuojia Town, namely the Kou family, the Cheng family and the Zuo family. The Zuo family lives in the town, the Kou family is in the Kou family village, and the family is in the family village. Among them, the Zuo family business has done the largest. Chengjia is a family of martial arts, but it is very low-key, it seems to be a reclusive master, and there is also business in the town, but there is little contact with people. The Kou family used to be a famous family, it was all the foundation laid by the ancestors, and in this generation it has almost been defeated, and it is the weakest among the three major families.

There is a family surnamed Li in Chengjiazhai, a family of four. The husband and wife are affectionate, there is no grandparents to rely on, the two of them are diligent and thrifty. Five years ago, a flood washed away the house, and in the past two years, a new house has been built, and with the addition of raising children, life is relatively poor, but it is also happy.

Her husband Lear is a foreigner who has been displaced here, and his wife, Sheng Xinlan, is a local twenty miles away, and no one knows where Lear came from or what his family is. Xinlan also asked, he only said that his family had been robbed, his relatives were all dead, and he was left alone, and he didn't want to mention the sad past, so his wife stopped asking. Lear is a man of few words, and at first glance he is a loyal and honest man. Work diligently, go out early and return late, have no rest and laziness, do not gamble, do not drink, do not invest or steal, and have a first-class character. Such a good person is also hard to find, Sheng Xinlan no longer cares about his past, she has a strong love for Lear, and she is also satisfied with this husband.

The couple have a son and a daughter, the elder sister is named Li Taiyi, who is 10 years old this year, and the younger brother is named Li Taichu, who is 5 years old this year. A fortune teller left Lear four sentences: easy to not stain the dust and difficult to see the beginning, at the beginning of the founding there is no smooth road, no unreasonable disasters lead to the sky, and one profit in exchange for one family and one orphan. He also said that the names of these two children have become older, and the children are afraid that they will have many disasters in the future. Lear didn't care, just smiled at the sentence "Life and death are fate, everything is fate". Xinlan is a woman after all, and she is not as open as Lear sees, and there is not a single good word in these four sentences, which she keeps in her heart, and she is worried in her heart. Lear often enlightened her, but after a long time she forgot about it.

Maybe this Taichu was loyal and honest at the beginning, or maybe he didn't know whether he was stupid or stupid, and he didn't talk much on weekdays. What's more, he was always expressionless, unhappy or angry, no one had ever seen him cry, and no one had ever seen him laugh. I don't know what to think all day by myself, I am in a quiet daze, and I don't talk to anyone. The neighbors thought the kid was a fool. This doll is naturally strong, more than five times stronger than children of the same age, and her body is excellent.

Parents are worried about their son, so they will teach him something when they have time, but he can't learn anything to teach him, and he doesn't ask anyone, so he is silently tinkering there. Lear usually works at home, and he squats around without saying a word. Lear does it for a day, and he looks at it motionless. No one knows if he's fascinated or really stupid.

After all, it is the flesh and blood of the parents, whether they are stupid or stupid, their parents love them equally. They only want to save more money, in case they grow up to have dementia and have no ability to survive, at least they will not starve to death if they have money. Parents all over the world are the same, they don't seek to be rich and rich, as long as their children are safe and happy. It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents all over the world.

The good and the bad are uneven, and it shows that there is a way in heaven and earth. Sister Li Taiyi is completely different from Taichu, she is naturally beautiful and beautiful, like a fairy descending to earth, not a human thing. And smart and clever, very sensible, on weekdays to help my mother do housework, wash feet and beat the back, very filial piety, endearing. In that era, the female doll got married at the age of twelve, and the children of poor families were in charge of the family early. It is said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and ordinary women do not study or go out. Lear, however, was more open-minded, saying that when women grow up studying, they can also read and reason, distinguish between right and wrong, and be tolerant. When Taiyi was eight years old, he was sent to study in a private school in the town.

His father, Lear, worked in the town's Zuo family's woodcut workshop, and his craft was well known. He is known as Little Luban. Lear is smart and studious, and in his spare time he studies some medical classics, Taoism, formations, etc., although he is not specialized, but he has achieved a little in everything. If there is a minor illness in Shili Eight Villages, he is also looking for him, and he is also looking for repairs.

Lear was not very favored in the Zuo family's car-making workshop, and only made carriage wheels. Although it is the most important part of the carriage, but it is also made by everyone, dozens of workers, there are more than ten wheels, everyone goes to work is to record the piece and pay the wages, a wheel five dollars (a thousand dollars for one or two silver), a day can make a wheel. Everyone goes to work to pick up big wood, and Lear is loyal, small, and thin, and can't grab others, so he can only pick up some small wood at the end. But he is also smart, very economical wood, using some of the loose wood thrown away by others to make the wheel is more durable than others to make, a circle of eighteen pieces of wood, plugged up, the wheel is sleek, do not spend a lot of effort to deliberately soak the round, not like the large pieces of wood cracked along the silk. Leftovers thrown away by others can be used. After the wheel is done, you have to engrave your own name, one is that the left family is good at settling accounts, and the other is that craftsmen can also be famous. The wheels made by Lear are all loved to buy, the sales are good, and he can make two wheels a day, and he is also more diligent than others, leaving early and returning late, and his salary is more than twice as much as others. In addition, he practiced medicine and repair, and his family background in the village was also very good. There is an income of nearly five taels of silver a year.

Lear's house is in the westernmost part of the village, and further west from his house is a ditch and a ditch, which is not convenient for cultivation and cultivation, and there is no shortage of arable land in the village, so this place is also deserted, and it is a piece of wilderness. A few miles of barren grassland further west is a mountain known as Wolf Mountain, where wild wolves are often seen. To the southwest is the barren swamp, a favorite land for snakes. As a result, the west side of the village is populated.

Between the mountain and the village, running north-south, there was a river, and the distance from the river to Lear's house was less than two miles. Between the river and Lear's house is a barren meadow. Although adults rarely visit, it is a paradise for children, and groups of children often go there to catch insects. During the day, wolves, insects, and beasts did not dare to go down the mountain to approach the village, let alone cross the river, and there was no danger. But the adults are still very worried, and always tell the children not to come here to play, and not to go near the river.

A few hundred meters away from Lear's house in the western wilderness, there is a dry well, which was dug by the villagers together, the wall of the well is made of stone, the wellhead is relatively large, the diameter is three meters, the depth is five meters, and now there is no water, and it has been abandoned for at least a few hundred years. Legend has it that there are soul-sucking pythons here, and few people dare to come here. The wellhead is also naturally overgrown with weeds, creating a natural sheltering barrier. This well is the well that Xiao Huang fell into.

Tai Chu saw that Xiao Huang was already able to walk, and he was very happy. Panting, he ran home, found a small basket and a rope, returned to the well, put the bamboo basket down, and shouted, "Xiao Huang, you climb into the frame, and I will carry you up." The weasel seemed to understand Taichu's words and crawled into the box. In the beginning it was lifted up from the bottom of the well. This weasel stood on the ground, and in the sunlight it looked even more yellow and shiny, without half a stray hair, and it was very psychic, and it actually stood up to make a gesture for Taichu. Then he circled around the beginning affectionately.

Taichu said: "Are you thanking me? Don't be so polite, it's a pity that the big snake died, how pitiful, his mother must be very sad to know." The weasel didn't know if he understood Taichu's words, he pointed to Taichu and pointed to the dry well, Taichu looked at the dry well, there was nothing, shook his head and asked, "Xiao Huang, you lost something down there?" Xiao Huang shook his head and nodded again.

Taichu asked tentatively, "Do you want to go down?" the weasel shook his head.

Taichu asked again, "Do you want me to go down?" and the weasel nodded.

"I can't come up if I go down!" Taichu wasn't stupid yet, he still knew this.

When the weasel heard this, he had a very helpless expression, and spit out a small yellow stone, crystal clear, the size of a thumb cover. It raised its head and motioned for Taichu to take it. Taichu took the stone and loved it very much. The weasel suddenly rushed up and bit the finger that Tai Chu was holding the little yellow stone. Taichu screamed in fright, and the blood that flowed out soaked the small yellow stone, and it was sucked into it in an instant. The small yellow stones glowed with a dazzling golden yellow light, illuminating almost half of the sky. After a few moments, the golden light vanished. The small stone was still so crystal clear, but there was a trace of blood in the stone, and it swam in the stone as if it was alive. At first, he seemed to have some communication with this stone, and he was very happy, completely forgetting the pain in his fingers, and only holding the little yellow stone to play with. The weasel turned its head into the grass and disappeared.
