Yue State, Linzi County, Baiyang Town, Yejia Village.

"Mom, I'm back!"

A short, dark-faced boy with a small gourd hanging around his waist walked into the house carrying a bundle of firewood.

The boy's name is Ye Feng and he is ten years old.

Ye Feng came from a place called Earth. He was originally a computer engineer. Because he got off work too late at night and encountered a heavy rainstorm, he was hit by lightning.

When he woke up, he had already come into this world.

When he came to this world, he thought there would be some system like other people who traveled through time, but ten years passed and no system appeared.

Although the system did not appear, the family was together and happy. Unlike his previous life, he grew up in an orphanage and never felt the warmth of family.

Ye Feng has been sensible since he was young. At the age of six or seven, he started to go up the mountain to collect firewood to supplement his family income. Although he is physically weak, he has a strong will and never gives up.

When climbing the mountain, if he felt exhausted, he would drink a sip of water from the small gourd. After drinking the water, he would be full of strength.

He found this small gourd in his own yard. Although it is not big, it can help him.

The water in the gourd seemed endless and endless, but he himself didn't understand why.

Since drinking the water in it, his body has also undergone obvious changes.

His physical strength, hearing and eyesight are much better than those of children of the same age.

Ye Feng often had wild thoughts, wondering if this was the legendary golden finger.

He once tried to let his village friend Zhang Xiaoniu drink the water from the gourd, but Zhang Xiaoniu spat it out immediately, saying it sounded like horse urine.

For some reason, Ye Feng found the drink sweet and delicious.

"Feng'er is back, put the firewood down quickly, I'll get you some water!"

At home, a middle-aged woman in plain clothes and limping was doing needlework. When she saw Ye Feng coming back, she stood up happily and went to the house to fetch water.

"Mom! I'm not thirsty, please take a rest!"

Ye Feng put down the firewood, ran obediently to the middle-aged woman, and asked her to sit down.

This middle-aged woman is Ye Feng’s mother, Han.

"Is Ye Changsheng at home?"

Just then, an old man in a brocade robe, accompanied by several men in black robes, walked into Ye Feng's house.

This old man in brocade clothes is the housekeeper of Mr. Wang’s family in the village.

"who is it?"

Han looked toward the door and shouted,

"It's Master Yang. Changsheng is not at home. He has gone to work in the fields. What can I do for you?"

"Han, you can stay at home. Your family should pay rent today! A total of one thousand kilograms of rice!"

Butler Yang walked forward holding an abacus and an account book, pretending to calculate.

When Han heard these two figures, she was so frightened that she almost fainted. With the poor harvest this year, who could afford to pay so much rent?

"Master Yang, can you give us some more time? We really don't have that much food at home right now!"

Han pleaded with a worried look on his face.

"If there's no food, silver will do!" Butler Yang raised the corners of his mouth when he heard this.

"Silver? Butler Yang, you have seen our family's situation. Where can we get the silver?"

Han said with a melancholy look on his face.

"What? No money? Without money, I can only use your old house to pay off the debt!"

A sinister smile suddenly appeared on Butler Yang's face.

It seems that he had already planned to take over the Ye family's old house.

"Someone, kick the Ye family out. From now on, this house belongs to the Wang family."

Butler Yang said proudly as he waved to the big man behind him.

"Yes, sir!" The two big men agreed and stepped forward ready to drag Han and Ye Feng out.

"Get out of here! I'll see who dares to touch my mother!"

Ye Feng picked up a wooden stick from nearby and used it to protect his mother, glaring at the two men.

"Master Yang! Please, please! Give me some more time!"

Han knelt on the ground and pleaded.

"Mom, don't ask them!"

"You bastard, you don't want to live anymore, do you?"

A big man saw this and became angry and kicked Ye Feng. Although Ye Feng was strong, he was still a child after all and could not block the kick at all.

With a bang, Ye Feng was kicked out directly. He couldn't stand firmly and fell to the ground.

Ye Feng quickly got up again, took a sip of the water in the gourd, and rushed towards the big man.

"Good boy, you're not done yet, I'll teach you a lesson!" The big man swung the stick in his hand and hit Ye Feng.

"Stop!" At this moment, a loud voice came.

A slightly plump middle-aged man holding a long knife walked into the yard.

Butler Yang and the servants were shocked when they saw this scene.

"Second brother, why are you here!" The middle-aged woman looked towards the door and felt happy.

\"Second uncle!" Ye Feng smiled happily when he saw the middle-aged man.

This slightly plump middle-aged man is Ye Feng's second uncle Han Erkui.

"Big sister, little Sanzi, they dare not do anything to you as long as I am here!"

After the plump middle-aged man finished speaking, he kicked the big man who was about to attack Ye Feng. With a bang, the big man was kicked away and fell to the ground with a thud.

Then, he flashed and kicked another big man. The big man was also kicked away and lay on the ground screaming in pain.

"Who...who are you? How dare you interfere...interfere...with Mr. Wang's family's affairs!"

When Butler Yang saw how powerful the slightly plump middle-aged man was, he was so frightened that his legs went numb and he trembled.

"Qingyun Sect's Han Erkui!"

The slightly plump middle-aged man looked at Butler Yang with murderous intent in his eyes, and then kicked Butler Yang.

Butler Yang screamed and was kicked out, hitting the earth wall behind him with a bang.

Han Erkui smiled slightly, drew out his long knife and wanted to kill Butler Yang.

"Stop it, second brother. It's better to resolve a feud than to create one!"

Han stopped Han Erkui and shouted.

Han Erkui turned around and looked at Han: "Big sister?"

Han said seriously: "Listen to my elder sister!"

"Humph, you're lucky! If my eldest sister hadn't stopped me, I would have killed you long ago! Go back and tell Wang Dashan that Ye Changsheng's family is protected by the Qingyun Sect. If he comes to cause trouble again, his entire family will be wiped out."

Han Erkui, holding a long knife, spoke coldly to Butler Yang and the two big men.

"So it's the master of Qingyun Sect. Let's go now!"

Butler Yang was so scared that he ran away with a few big men.

Butler Yang knew that the Qingyun Sect was the largest martial arts sect in Linzi County. Even the government office could not afford to offend it, let alone Mr. Wang's family. He could only run away in shame.

"Sister, little Sanzi, are you okay?" Han Erkui put away his sword, walked forward and asked with concern.

"Second brother, we are fine. We are used to it."

"Second uncle, I'm fine! Second uncle is good at kung fu, can you teach me?"

"No problem!" Han Erkui touched Ye Feng's head.

"That's great!" Ye Feng was very happy to hear that.

"Big sister, Little Sanzi, if they dare to come next time, just say my name! I will kill Wang Datou's family!"

"Second brother, it's better to have less trouble than more. Just be patient if you can!"

"Sister, you and my brother-in-law are just too honest!"

"By the way, second brother, I haven't seen you for many years. Why are you here in person today?"

"Sister, I'm here today to tell you something good."

"What good news? Look how happy you are. Come and sit down. Let Xiao Sanzi bring a bowl of water to your uncle!"

"Mom, I'm going right away."

"Don't worry, sis. I'll be gone in a minute!"

Han Erkui smiled and said,

Ye Feng came over with a bowl of hot water and said, "Uncle, drink some water!"

"Little Sanzi is so good!"

"Big sister, it's like this. Our Qingyun Sect is going to recruit a group of disciples this year. The sect has allocated a quota to me. I don't have any children, so I want my third son to try!"

The slightly plump middle-aged man looked at the woman and said.

Han knew that her second brother worked for a martial arts sect called Qingyun Sect, but she didn't know what Qingyun Sect did.

She only knew that her second brother had become different since he entered Qingyun Sect. He no longer had to worry about food, clothing and shelter, and he also mastered martial arts.

"Second brother, there is such a good thing! If I join a sect, will I have no worries about food and drink like you in the future?"

"Big sister, don't worry! As long as you join our Qingyun Sect, you will have no problem eating and drinking, and you will also receive money every month!

I can also give some allowance to my family every year.”

"That's great. I'll discuss this with his father when he comes back!"

"Sister, why is Xiao Sanzi so thin? This can't go on."

"Second brother, you know that the harvest has been poor in recent years. It is only thanks to your help that we are able to survive."

"Then what are you still discussing? I'm going to take Xiao Sanzi away today!"

"This family still needs his father to make the decision. I can't make the decision!"

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for my brother-in-law to come back in the evening."

......

In the evening, a short, middle-aged man with a sallow face returned home. This middle-aged man was Ye Feng's father, Ye Changsheng.

"Hey, my second brother is here!"

Ye Changsheng greeted Han Erkui happily when he saw him.

"Brother-in-law, you're back!"

Han Erkui stood up happily when he saw Ye Changsheng.

Afterwards, Han Erkui told Ye Changsheng everything about Qingyun Sect's recruitment of disciples.

"That's good, that's good! I'll leave this matter to you, so that the third brother won't have to suffer with us."

Ye Changsheng was also very happy to hear this.

"Come here, little Sanzi! You will go to Qingyun Sect with your uncle tomorrow!"

Ye Changsheng said to Ye Feng.

Although Ye Feng was young, he understood what his second uncle said.

"Dad, I don't want to leave home, I want to be with you!"

Ye Feng blinked and looked at his father and mother.

"Silly child, what do we have at home? Nothing! Follow your second uncle, there will be endless wealth waiting for you in the future. Don't be as useless as your father!"

"What are you thinking, little Sanzi? You've seen it today. If you don't have the ability, how can you protect your parents?"

Han Erkui patted Ye Feng on the shoulder.

After hearing this, Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat. He thought he had been thinking too simply. If he wanted his whole family to be safe, he had to have some ability. If it weren't for his second uncle's rescue today, his family would probably have no idea where to live.

"Dad! Mom!" Ye Feng fell to his knees and started crying.

"Okay, little Sanzi, go with your uncle!"

Ye Changsheng touched Ye Feng's head.

"Little Third Son, listen to your mother! Follow your second uncle and strive to be as rich as him!"

Han also started crying.

Although he had never seen his parents in his previous life, several of his friends had left their hometowns to work outside and sometimes could not return home for a whole year.

They all say that men should be self-reliant and stand tall and proud. Only now did Ye Feng realize the meaning of this sentence.

"I listen to my father and mother!"

Ye Feng wiped away his tears and stood up.

"Yes, that's right! Back then, when I left home, I was just like you. If your grandparents hadn't insisted on letting me go out and explore the world, I wouldn't be as rich as I am today."

Early the next morning, Ye Changsheng and Han saw Ye Feng out.

Ye Feng got on his second uncle's carriage and left Yejia Village.

Before leaving, Han cried and reminded Ye Feng not to show off his strength when encountering things, to give in when possible, and not to argue with others.

Ye Changsheng comforted Han, saying that the child should go out and explore the world when he grows up.

Ye Feng waved and cried as he followed his second uncle out of the house.

No one expected that Ye Feng would embark on a unique path of cultivation from then on.
