Chapter 1 Stone Baby Cao Rui

"Shi Wa, go to the stove and help light a fire."

The peasant woman who was washing clothes in the yard wiped her plain cheeks, turned her head and spoke.

The boy called Shiwa, who was about ten years old, was standing in front of the house looking at a child who was in a daze in the distance.

"Oh."

Shiwa responded and walked towards the kitchen.

"Hey, what's wrong with this kid? He's always in a daze. Is he sick?"

The peasant woman looked at Shiwa's figure disappearing into the house with some worry.

After this kid fell ill a few days ago, he has been sitting in a daze at home, asking some strange questions from time to time.

In the kitchen room.

Shiwa opened the fire starter with unfamiliarity yet skill.

Light the dry grass and put it into the stove as a starter.

Then add firewood.

The firelight from the stove shone on Shiwa's face.

This made Shiwa's face look even more confused.

"Who am I?"

"Shiwa? Or, Cao Rui?"

Three days ago, Shiwa drank raw water in the wild and became seriously ill. He even had a high fever and was unconscious.

When he had a high fever, many fragments of memories gradually emerged in Shiwa's mind.

These fragments told him that he was from Earth, his name was Cao Rui, a 25-year-old unemployed graduate who died in a car accident.

There are still many memories that Shiwa cannot fully understand: mobile phones, televisions, cars, trains, airplanes...

But these things are not important, because they don’t exist in this world anyway.

What is important is that these memories have brought changes to Shiwa's character and experience.

Shiwa is no longer the ignorant mountain boy with no life plans.

As he read the memory fragments repeatedly, Shiwa has gradually come to accept his identity as a time traveler.

Realize that you are different.

From the ignorant and foolish country boy, he has transformed into Cao Rui, a highly educated adult from another world.

"Compared to my previous life, this world is more like ancient times, but it is also a little different, because the monsters my parents talked about in this life are not like legends, they seem to really exist."

"I have to find a way to leave this small village and see the wider world. Otherwise, my life will be wasted if I stay in this small mountain village."

Shiwa’s thoughts have changed drastically now. He has an urgent desire to change his life and an ambition to go out and understand the world.

......

noon.

All of Cao Rui's family members in this life are present.

There are four people in our family, including my father, my brother, my mother and myself.

My elder brother is fifteen years old. In the morning, he went to the mountain with his father to chop firewood.

I followed my father back to eat at mealtime.

At this time, the hungry eldest brother was eating with relish.

The dinner table.

Cao Rui thought for a while and said, "Dad, I want to go to the city. It's no problem to be an apprentice."

The so-called city is just a small county town with a population of more than 50,000.

But it is better than staying in this small mountain village with only dozens of households.

The reason why I have to discuss it with my parents.

This is because this body is only in its early teens and cannot go to the county town on its own.

As soon as they left the village, let alone monsters, even a random insect or wild boar could be taken away and eaten alive by Cao Rui.

But going into the city is a must.

Only by going to the county town can you see the world more clearly and make better life plans.

Therefore, I can only rely on my family members in this life.

Although they are all ordinary mountain villagers, they are at least adults and Cao Rui's blood relatives in this life. They are trustworthy and capable of providing assistance to Cao Rui when he was a child.

The reason why Cao Rui chose to speak to his father was that he knew that his father was the one who really made the decision in this family.

In addition, Cao Rui's suggestion of going to the city to be an apprentice was not groundless.

There is already a precedent of sending children from small mountain villages to the city to serve as apprentices.

Especially the child from the Laoshan family next door. After working as an apprentice for many years and learning something, he has been able to bring back a lot of money every year since the year before last.

Lao Shan’s house is now the most luxurious and grand one in the entire mountain village, thanks to the help of his children who went to the city.

"Shiwa, do you have the courage? Can you endure hardship?" The brother looked at Cao Rui in surprise and said.

He couldn't quite believe that these words came out of Cao Rui's mouth.

I have watched Shiwa grow up since he was a child. This younger brother has always been timid and afraid of things. I didn't expect that today he would take the initiative to ask to go to the city.

This was something that even he, as the eldest brother, had never thought about.

He followed his father to the city several times to sell firewood. The city people were dressed in bright and colorful clothes and behaved in a very elegant manner, which always made him feel that they were not from the same world.

Every time he went to the city, he didn't want to stay too long.

"Well, I've been thinking about this for a long time."

"After I come to the city, I will be an apprentice and study hard. When I become a master, I will bring money home every year."

"This way, our house can be built as beautiful as Dashanbo's!"

Cao Rui spoke in a childlike tone, describing the future.

He knew that only by using this childish method could he convince his father.

If he analyzed the pros and cons and discussed his life plan in the tone of an adult in his previous life, his father in this life would simply think that Cao Rui's brain had burned out a few days ago.

The father took a puff of his pipe, looked at Cao Rui for a long time, and then looked at his eldest son.

"It's time for your elder brother to get married."

“This house is really too small.”

"Shi Wa, you are great. Children from other families are afraid of being sent to the city to suffer, but you took the initiative to volunteer. You are worthy of being a son of our Shi family."

"It's really not a big deal to be a mountain dweller in this small mountain village."

"You can only have a bright future if you go to the city. Dad understands this."

"Since you have this intention, Dad will also work hard to pave the way for you."

"Tomorrow morning, I will go to the city to find your cousin and ask him what kind of apprenticeship is suitable for me."

"Shiwa, you'd better get ready." The father agreed.

Cao Rui was delighted, but his mother's hand trembled and the chopsticks fell to the ground.

"Old man, do you really have the heart to send Shiwa into the city?"

"I heard that the fourth child was killed by some gang after entering the city, and his body has not been found yet!"

The mother hugged Cao Rui in her arms, her eyes reddened.

The father took a big puff of his pipe, slowly exhaled, and looked at Shiwa again: "Shiwa, are you going into the city?"

Cao Rui nodded vigorously: "Yes."

"Okay, it's decided then, don't mess things up, old lady!"

The father finally made the decision.

The mother couldn't help but shed tears.

The look the eldest brother gave Cao Rui was extremely complicated. There was admiration, desire, but also lingering confusion deep down.

Early the next morning.

My father left home early and rushed to the county seat of Lianhua County.

Cao Rui was waiting at home with great anticipation.

My father set out before dawn in the morning.

It was around ten o'clock in the morning.

My father came back sweating profusely.

A young man in his thirties came back with my father.

Wearing a green dress.

This man looks somewhat similar to his mother, but unlike his mother's tanned skin, his skin is fair and smooth, and it is obvious that he has never worked in the sun.

"Shiwa, quickly call your third cousin!" My father revealed the identity of the visitor.

For this person who can take me out of my current situation.

Regardless of whether he was a relative or not, Cao Rui did not dare to neglect him. He stepped forward, bowed, and called out clearly, "Third cousin!"

"Well, not bad. He knows etiquette and is not shy. He's just a little tanned, but he should be able to turn white again after some time of recuperation." As soon as the third cousin spoke, my father smiled. He knew that it was done.
