Rise of Qinglian

Donghuang, Wei State, Lijiacun. .

Li Hu is a powerful hunter in the village. He also has a blind old woman at home. His wife is pregnant. Li Hu makes a living by hunting and his life is not bad.

A mountain stream flows through the end of the village. The villagers use the stream water for irrigation and have always lived a self-sufficient life.

Every time Li Hu goes hunting in the mountains, it can last for several days or several months.

This day, at dusk.

Li Hu and many other hunters were walking on the mountain road, and each of their faces was filled with happy smiles.

"I actually managed to hunt a blind bear this time. I can sell the skin in the town. I'm sure I can get a good price. I can have a good year this year."

Li Hu said with a smile that he had already thought of how to spend the money to buy some supplements for his wife and some medicine for his frail mother.

"Hey, we didn't see anyone living here before we entered the mountain. Are they new?"

An Orion said curiously.

Li Hu looked in the direction pointed by his companion and saw a simple thatched house with a wisp of smoke rising slowly.

The thatched house is located on a low slope, not far from the mountain stream.

"They must have just moved here. The world is not peaceful. I heard from Liu Mazi in the next village that thieves robbed several big households and killed many people. The government offered a reward of a hundred taels of silver but they couldn't catch anyone."

"It's not easy for anyone these days, let's go over and take a look! Help if you can. Who doesn't have difficulties?"

Li Hu said enthusiastically that he almost starved to death in his early years. It was an old hunter who taught him hunting. He was grateful and would come to him whenever he encountered any difficulties in saving profits.

When Li Hu and others came to the thatched house, a tall young man in a blue shirt and a young woman in a blue skirt with picturesque features came out. They were Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

Wang Ruyan's experience this time was different from the last one. She wanted to be a mortal for a while and experience mortal life, so Wang Changsheng naturally stayed with her.

"My name is Li Hu, what do you call me young master?"

Li Hu asked cautiously. Judging from the clothes of these two people, it seemed that they came from wealthy families.

Even a down-and-out powerful person is not something he can afford to offend.

"Your Excellency... You are too polite. My name is Wang Changsheng, and this is my wife Wang Ruyan. We encountered robbers and our money was taken away. We have no choice but to settle here."

Wang Changsheng said sincerely that he had not dealt with mortals for a long time and was a little uncomfortable.

"There are no bad people here. They are all from the countryside. You can live here with peace of mind! Your house is a bit dilapidated. Let us help you repair it! Otherwise, if it rains, you will get wet."

Li Hu said enthusiastically that his wife was about to give birth, and he hoped that Wang Changsheng could teach his child to read and write, so that he would not have to stay in the village all his life like him.

Wang Changsheng was slightly startled, then nodded with a smile.

Li Hu put down the prey and called his companions to help repair the hut.

"Wang Xiucai is from the countryside. If you need help in the future, just ask."

Li Hu's tone was warm.

Wang Changsheng smiled and agreed. He originally wanted to give some copper coins as reward, but Li Hu and others refused.

"Husband, let's live here and experience the life of a mortal."

Wang Ruyan's face showed longing.

Wang Changsheng nodded, no matter where Wang Ruyan went, he would stay with 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 plowing the fields, and Wang Ruyan was responsible for making rice for cooking and weaving. The two lived a life of men farming and women weaving.

In less than half a month, their peaceful life was shattered. Li Hu brought some villagers to the door and said that he wanted to ask Wang Changsheng to teach their children to read and write, and they paid them with food.

Looking at the expectant eyes of many villagers, Wang Changsheng agreed.

Li Hu was so happy that he led people to build a larger thatched house and asked Wang Changsheng to teach the children to read and write here.

There are only a dozen children who come to read and write. It’s not that the other children don’t want to read and write, but that their families are in trouble. They don’t have time to study, and they can’t afford food for tuition.

Wang Changsheng did not force himself. He taught as many children as they came to read and write.

Wang Changsheng was responsible for teaching, and Wang Ruyan took the initiative to teach the women and children in the village to raise silkworms and weave cloth. Because of the arrival of Wang Changsheng and his wife, some changes took place in Lijia Village.

Spring passed and autumn came, and seven years passed quickly.

In an open space, Wang Changsheng was writing on the ground with a sharpened stick, and more than 40 children were writing on the ground with sticks in their hands.

The environment in the village is very simple. They cannot afford pens, ink, paper and inkstones, so they can only write on the ground.

Wang Ruyan taught the women and children in the village to raise silkworms and weave cloth. The income increased, the villagers' lives improved, and more children came to study and write.

"Sir, I have written it, please take a look."

A boy with regular features spoke. The boy was wearing coarse clothes and was relatively tall.

Li Qingshu, he is Li Hu's son. The name Li Qingshu was given by Wang Changsheng with help.

Wang Changsheng walked over to take a look, nodded, and praised: "Not bad, keep working hard, others should learn from Qingshu."

"Yes, sir."

All the children agreed in unison and continued to write on the ground with sticks.

"It's not good, something bad is bad, something happened, we encountered a big cat."

A panicked man's voice suddenly sounded. Wang Changsheng looked into the distance and saw Li Hu and many other villagers walking towards his location. Most of the villagers were injured. Li Hu was unconscious and bleeding. The clothes were dyed red.

Wang Changsheng is an immortal cultivator and has relatively good ears, so those children didn't hear anything at all.

"You guys write slowly, I'll go out for a while."

Wang Changsheng gave an order and left quickly.

Not long after, he came to Li Hu. There were several horrific blood marks on Li Hu's left chest. The blood dyed his clothes red, but the bleeding had stopped. 1

"Where's Sun Ergou! Why didn't you see him?"

Wang Changsheng frowned and said, he was already familiar with these villagers and knew their lives.

"Er Gouzi was dragged away by the big cat. We encountered two big cats. They suddenly jumped out. Brother Li was also injured. Er Gouzi was dragged away on the spot. He is probably dead. Wang Xiucai, what happened to you? Do you have any money? We want to take Brother Li to the town to have a look."

Wang Changsheng nodded, took out more than a hundred copper coins, and gave them all to the villagers.

Several villagers took Li Hu to the town to seek medical treatment.

Wang Changsheng rushed into the mountains and found some bloody clothes in the tiger's lair, but did not see any villagers.

"Roar!"

The two tigers pounced on Wang Changsheng, but a powerful spiritual pressure suddenly rushed out of Wang Changsheng. They immediately fell to the ground, motionless, and their internal organs were shattered by the powerful spiritual pressure.

Wang Changsheng sighed lightly. In the past seven years, there have been too many similar things. The power of mortals is too small. He has witnessed the birth, old age, illness and death of mortals with his own eyes, and has a lot of feelings.

Seven days later, a funeral was held for Sun Ergou at his home. The body was not found. Only a few clothes worn by Sun Ergou were packed and buried in a hole. There was not even a coffin. Sun Ergou's son was forced to drop out of school. , picked up a hoe to plow the fields, and had a frail grandmother and younger brothers and sisters at home, so he could only shoulder the heavy burden of life.

In the thatched house, Wang Changsheng was talking to Wang Ruyan. They were both wearing coarse clothes. Those who didn't know better thought they were mortals!

"Madam, how long do you plan to stay here?"

Wang Changsheng asked.

Wang Ruyan sighed and said: "The life of a mortal is not easy. I have experienced enough. I can leave and 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 left for something.

Seven days later, the two teachers came to Lijia Village and continued to teach the children to read and write. As time passed, the villagers gradually forgot about Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.
