Like a passing year, another 500 years have passed unconsciously.

At the foot of Nanyue Mountain, there is a Xiling village outside the city of Hengzhou. A small stream surrounds more than 50 households in the village.

The folk customs here are simple, most of the villagers farm at home for a living, and some people also plant some herbs in their spare time, and exchange some silver taels for the blessed land of the Azure Jade Altar in Zhuling Cave, which is closest to the foot of the mountain.

Only the carpenter Wang in the east of the village is an exception, who makes furniture all year round, and sometimes goes to Hengzhou City to make a dowry for the eldest girl. Speaking of the carpenter of Xiling Village in this radius of 100 miles, it can be said that everyone knows and no one knows.

Although the family background of this craft is not rich, it is naturally more solid than ordinary villagers, and gold and silver things are also common. The fly in the ointment is that the husband and wife are nearly forty years old, and their knees are especially empty.

His wife, Hu Shi, gave birth to a son within a year of passing the door. But there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck, and this single seedling got a serious illness a few years ago and left first. This white-haired man sent a black-haired man, no wonder Carpenter Wang was depressed.

"There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is greater. This royal family's incense can't be cut off from me. Looking at the white hair on Hu's head, Carpenter Wang sighed early and late.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, snow fell, and the wind howled through the trees, making the window lattices creak. A loud bang in the middle of the night woke all the villagers from their dreams.

When I got up boldly, I saw that at the end of the sky, a ball of white light and a ball of blue light were fighting, and the lightning pierced the sky, illuminating people who couldn't open their eyes. Come fast and go fast. In less than a quarter of an hour, it was gone. Heaven and earth are once again quiet and peaceful. A two-foot-sized star boat quickly landed in Xiling Village.

Three days later, Hu went to the creek at the entrance of the village to wash his clothes and found a baby in the grass by the stream. The baby was white and chubby, with thin clothes on his body, his little face was red from the cold, and a jade talisman wrapped in red paper hung around his neck.

At this time, Hengzhou was a frozen land, looking at the baby's appearance, Hu Shi hurriedly took it home and told Carpenter Wang. Both husband and wife were children of peasant families and could not read, so they had to send the red paper to the village to show to the teacher.

Mr. Jiaoshu picked up the red paper and read: "There was an accident at home, and my parents were killed, and I hope that a well-wisher will adopt me." Ling Pengzhan and his wife thanked Da En. "Carpenter Wang and his wife are overjoyed.

"The sky has eyes, and the immortals in Zhuling Cave have appeared. He even sent a son to the two of us. Carpenter Wang laughed.

"Shall we give him a name?" asked Hu.

"Yes, sir, you are a learned man, and you are no match for me as old and coarse, so please give this baby a name!" Carpenter Wang unexpectedly got a son, and hoped that his son would have a good name.

Mr. Teaching touched his beard and muttered: "Both families have had accidents, and at this time, it is good that the baby can live in peace for the rest of his life." Why don't you just call Wang Ping?"

"Good, good, Wang Ping, peace is a blessing," in the carpenter's heart, this is the best name. Both husband and wife are middle-aged, and there really can't be any more accidents, as long as they are safe, they are happier than anything else.

Time flies, and ten years have passed in a blink of an eye.

In order to make their son not as blind as themselves, Wang Carpenter and his wife sent Wang Ping to study with Mr. Shi Fuzi when he was five years old.

Shi Fuzi is full of Jinglun Professor Wang Ping, and other yellow-mouthed children are not a problem, but the fly in the ointment is that they are over seventy years old, and their physical strength is sometimes poor, so they only teach for half a day in the morning every day, and let these students go home in the afternoon to move freely.

"Ping'er, come and eat this chicken leg. ”

Hu Shi looked at his son's pure and bright eyes and immature smile in front of him, and sighed in his heart: "I look as tall as my shoulders."

"Daddy, why hasn't Daddy come home yet? Isn't it Daddy's birthday on the eighth day of the seventh month today?" asked Wang Ping with his head tilted and held it with his right hand.

"Your father went to the city to make a dowry for the eldest lady of the Liu family, and the time is very tight, and he may not come back until the evening. ”

"Mother, I can't eat chicken legs. Daddy should give him food for his birthday!" Wang Ping sent back the chicken legs in the bowl.

"There are two, one for you and one for your father. Hu was overjoyed that such a young son remembered his father's birthday.

"Why don't you eat it, this one should be eaten by your mother!"

"Mother doesn't like to eat!"

"Ping'er doesn't like to eat either?"

"Haha!"

"Silly son, eat quickly! Eat it and grow up quickly!"

"Daddy would be better if he came home!"

Carpenter Wang was invited to Liu's house in the city to make a dowry, and he did not return for a month. Today is his birthday, and at this time in previous years, the family had been talking and laughing together.

Early this morning, Hu Shi bought wine and food, but there was no one left and right. Both were a little disappointed.

After lunch, Wang Ping was bored alone, watching the neighbor's big sister Su'er drive the sheep to the mountains to graze, so she followed to be her companion.

Su'er is five years older than Wang Ping, and she is already a half-grown girl, but she is a little beauty from any place.

The perfect facial features are delicate and pretty, with slender willow eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, and clear and ethereal eyes; lips are moist and full, but not fat, just like blooming moon petals; slender waist and slender body, the only fly in the ointment is: due to long-term work in the field, the complexion is slightly darker.

Sometimes Wang Ping looked at the big sister in front of him, and couldn't help but think that if Sister Xu'er didn't herd sheep, she would be like those big ladies in the city who embroidered and read all day long, wearing gorgeous clothes and beautiful clothes, would she be like the fairy in the painting......

Suddenly, Su'er shouted, "Ping'er, come and see what this is?"

Wang Ping, who was sitting on the ground, heard Su'er's call and hurriedly ran to take a look.

I saw a small moon-white animal with fur and the same floating water waves, lying motionless on the mountain path, looking at the two sisters and brothers in front of him with a look of antigery.

"I don't know what he is, but it seems to be hurt. Wang Ping took a closer look at the little thing as big as a lamb in front of him. "Could it be a newborn lamb?"

"Haha...... You stupid boy, you finally have something inferior to me! You see those sheep are all horned, look at this little thing again, where does it have a little horn? Su'er couldn't help but be very happy when she saw that Wang Ping couldn't recognize her.

"Usually people in the village don't all say that you are brilliant and can teach everything, you watch me herd sheep every day, and finally there is a time to admit your mistakes! haha......" Su'er's innocent face bloomed with a cheerful smile, just like a peony in full bloom.

"Sister, they only say I'm smart, but they don't say I'm a prodigy, so naturally I will have something I don't know. Ha ha...... You know how angry I ......," Wang Ping puffed up his mouth.

"Okay! I know you're the most capable!

There are five sisters in the family, and she is the largest, and a peasant girl like her will never have the opportunity to go to the village middle school to study. But at this time, Hengzhou is the most respectful of teachers and education, whether it is men, women and children, there is the concept of "all kinds of inferior products, only high reading".

Therefore, although Wang Ping is not very old, and he has been enrolled in the village school for less than three years, his literacy is not very comprehensive, and it is even more difficult to write and write. But in Su'er's eyes, he was a knowledgeable person. So if there is anything that can't be done, I used to ask him.

Wang Ping, a ten-year-old child, is extremely valued by others, and is naturally willing to solve these problems. In addition, the people themselves are also flexible, and the villagers will not encounter any major problems, generally if there is a big problem, who do you think will ask a child, but over time, it will only cause a person to ask Wang Ping if there is anything he doesn't know.
