Donghuang, state of Wei, Lijia village..
Li Hu is a powerful hunter in the village. There is a blind old woman in his family. His wife is pregnant. Li Hu makes a living by hunting and can live a decent life.
A mountain stream flows through the end of the village. The villagers irrigate with stream water and have been living a self-sufficient life.
Every time Li Hu goes hunting in the mountains, he can spend days or months.
This day, at dusk.
Li Hu and many other hunters walked on the mountain road, and their faces were filled with happy smiles.
"I can hunt a blind bear this time. The leather bag will be sold in the town. I''m sure I can buy a good price. I can have a good year this year."
Li Hu smiled and said that he had thought of how to spend the money, buy some supplements for his wife and take some medicine for his weak and sick mother.
"Eh, before we entered the mountain, we didn''t see people living here. Did they move here?"
A hunter said curiously.
Li Hu looked in the direction pointed by his companion and saw a simple thatched house with a wisp of cooking smoke rising slowly.
The thatched house is located on a low earth slope, not far from the mountain stream.
"It should be a new move. The world is not peaceful. I heard from pockmarked Liu of the next village that a loud horse robbed several big families and killed many people. The government offered a reward of 100 liang of silver grain, but I couldn''t catch anyone."
"It''s not easy for anyone these days. Let''s go and have a look! If you can help, who doesn''t have difficulties?"
Li Hu said enthusiastically that he almost starved to death in his early years. An old hunter taught him to hunt. He was grateful to save profits and was willing to find him in case of any difficulties.
Li Hu and others came to the thatched cottage. A tall young man in blue and a young woman in blue skirt with picturesque facial features came out. They were Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.
Wang Ruyan''s experience is different from the previous one. She wants to be a mortal for a period of time and experience mortal life. Wang Changsheng naturally accompanies her.
"My name is Li Hu. What do you call me, young master?"
Li Hu asked carefully. Judging from their clothes, they were born in a rich family.
Even a despicable dignitary can''t afford to offend him.
"Your Excellency... It''s very kind of you. My name is Wang Changsheng. This is my wife Wang Ruyan. We met a robber and the money was robbed. We had to settle down here."
Wang Changsheng said sincerely that he hasn''t dealt with mortals for a long time, and he doesn''t adapt to it.
"There are no bad people here. They are all villagers. You can live here at ease! Your house is a little broken. Let''s repair it for you! Otherwise, if it rains, you will get wet."
Li Hu said enthusiastically that his wife was about to give birth. He hoped that Wang Changsheng could teach his children to read and write. He didn''t have to stay in the village all his life like him.
Wang Changsheng was slightly stunned, smiled and nodded.
Li Hu put down his prey, greeted his companions and helped repair the hut.
"Wang Xiucai is from the villagers. If you need any help in the future, just ask."
Li Hu''s tone was warm.
Wang Changsheng promised with a smile. He wanted to pay some copper money, but Li Hu and others refused.
"Husband, let''s live here and have a good experience of mortal life."
Wang Ruyan''s face was full of longing.
Wang Changsheng nodded. No matter where Wang Ruyan was going, he would accompany Wang Ruyan.
In this way, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan lived a mortal life.
Wang Changsheng built a small pond, planted some lotus flowers, and planted some vegetables behind the hut. He was responsible for farming, and Wang Ruyan was responsible for producing rice, cooking and weaving. They lived a life of men farming and women weaving.
In less than half a month, their quiet life was broken. Li Hu took some villagers to the door and said that he wanted to ask Wang Changsheng to teach their children to read and write. They paid with food.
Looking at the expectant eyes of many villagers, Wang Changsheng promised to come down.
Li Hu was overjoyed and took people to build a bigger thatched cottage where Wang Changsheng taught the children to read and write.
Only more than a dozen children come to read and write. It is not that other children don''t want to be literate, but that they have difficulties at home. They don''t have time to study and can''t take food as tuition.
Wang Changsheng did not force. He taught as many children as he came.
Wang Changsheng is responsible for teaching. Wang Ruyan takes the initiative to teach women and children in the village to raise silkworms and weave cloth. Some changes have taken place in Lijia village because of the arrival of Wang Changsheng and his wife.
Spring goes and autumn comes, and seven years will soon pass.
In an open area, Wang Changsheng wrote on the ground with a sharpened stick. More than 40 children wrote on the ground with sticks in their hands.
The environment in the village is very poor. They can''t afford pen, ink, paper and inkstone. They can only write on the ground.
Wang Ruyan taught the women and children in the village to raise silkworms and weave cloth. As a result, the income increased, the villagers had a better life, and more children came to study and write.
"I''ve written it, sir. Look at it."
A boy with correct facial features opened his mouth and said that the boy was tall in coarse cloth clothes.
Li Qingshu, he is the son of Li Hu. The name of Li Qingshu was taken by Wang Changsheng.
Wang Changsheng went over to have a look, nodded and praised, "yes, continue to work hard. Others should learn from Qingshu."
"Yes, sir."
All the children agreed with one voice and continued to write on the ground with sticks.
"No, big things are bad. Something happened. We met a big cat."
A panic stricken man''s voice suddenly sounded. Wang Changsheng looked into the distance and saw Li Hu and many other villagers coming towards his position. Most of the villagers were injured. Li Hu was unconscious and his blood stained his clothes red.
Wang Changsheng is an immortal. He has good ears. Those children don''t hear anything at all.
"You write slowly. I have something to go out."
Wang Changsheng gave an order and left quickly.
Before long, he came to Li Hu. There were several terrible blood marks on Li Hu''s left chest. The blood dyed his clothes red, but it had stopped bleeding. one
"Where''s sun Ergou? Why didn''t you see him?"
Wang Changsheng frowned and said that he had known these villagers well and knew their lives.
"Er Gouzi was dragged away by a big cat. We met two big cats and suddenly ran out. Brother Li was also injured. Er Gouzi was dragged away on the spot. He must be dead. Wang Xiucai, do you have any silver? We want to take brother Li to the town."
Wang Changsheng nodded, took out more than 100 copper coins and gave them all to the villagers.
Several villagers took Li Hu to the town to find a doctor for treatment.
Wang Changsheng rushed into the mountains and found some bloody clothes in the tiger''s nest. He didn''t see the villagers.
"Roar!"
Two tigers jumped at Wang Changsheng, but Wang Changsheng suddenly burst out with a strong spiritual pressure. They immediately lay on the ground, motionless, and their internal organs were shattered by the strong spiritual pressure.
Wang Changsheng sighed lightly. In the past seven years, there were too many similar things and the power of mortals was too small. He saw the life, age, illness and death of mortals with his own eyes and felt a lot.
Seven days later, sun Ergou''s family held a funeral for him. The body could not be found. He just filled several clothes worn by sun Ergou, dug a hole and buried it. There was no coffin. Sun Ergou''s son was forced to drop out of school and picked up a hoe to farm. There was also a weak and sick grandmother, brother and sister at home. He could only shoulder the heavy responsibility of life.
In the thatched house, Wang Changsheng was talking to Wang Ruyan. They were all dressed in coarse cloth. They didn''t know that they thought they were mortals!
"Madam, how long are you going to stay here?"
Wang Changsheng asked.
Wang Ruyan sighed and said, "life is not easy for ordinary people. I have experienced enough and can leave. Let someone find some teachers for the children!"
The next morning, when the children came to class, they found that Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were missing. They read the letter left by Wang Changsheng and knew that Wang Changsheng had something to leave.
Seven days later, the two teachers came to Lijia village and continued to teach the children to read and write. After a long time, the villagers gradually forgot Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.
