In the spring of the thirteenth year of Zhenhai, a young man with a sallow complexion stepped into Scarlet Star City.
He is short in stature and has an average appearance. His eyes are slightly apart, giving him an impression of innocence and curiosity. His eyes are as dark as ink and as bright as stars, revealing the inherent youthfulness and vitality of a young man. Although his clothes were patched and washed white, they were spotless. His hair was in a bun and he had a piccolo around his waist. He was taciturn and amiable.
The young man's surname is Jin and his given name is San Sheng. He is a native of Kunlun Mountain and his nickname is Gou Sheng. The name "San Sheng" was given to him by a bookkeeper when a caravan passed by the village and stayed for a long time when he was seven years old.
The village where Jin Sansheng lived was originally in the Barbarian Bone Forest. Due to the attack of monsters, the village was destroyed by fire and rain falling from the sky. The tribesmen were forced to retreat to Cliff Peak, wandering on strange roads heading west, and finally settled in a mountain valley in Kunlun Mountain. Come down.
Jin Sansheng is a smart man. His parents died young and he was raised by the clan leader. He is good at arranging lasso, such as single lasso, multiple lasso, chain lasso, flip lasso, hole lasso, barrage lasso, bullet lasso, leg lasso, pressure lasso, etc. Swing sets, roller sets, platform sets, release sets, double-sided four sets, and double elastic sets are all available for perfect play. The natives make a living by hunting. There are many people in the village who are stronger than him, but the prey they can catch are far less than him.
The chief took possession of the prey he brought back, eating the meat, selling the skins, bones and bones in exchange for wine, leaving only the leftovers and cold soup to satisfy his hunger. Jin Sansheng did not argue or make trouble, and accepted everything. When he was fifteen years old, he felt that the prey he had caught over the years was enough to repay his upbringing, so he left without saying goodbye and never went back, just like Jin Xiaodie back then.
But Jin Sansheng didn't know Jin Xiaodie's existence.
Jin Sansheng spent several years alone in the Kunlun Mountains, relying on hunting to support himself, but after all, this was not a long-term solution. He could not live his whole life in the mountains and forests. People always have to live with other people.
He packed up the animal skins he had accumulated, went down the river, found a large and bustling town, sold his inventory with gestures, exchanged a small amount of money, bought some old clothes, cut his hair short, and washed it. Take three baths, use up a whole piece of soap, and make yourself clean.
Jin Sansheng lived in the town for three months, doing odd jobs and cheating, and his life was not hard. He quickly learned to speak Han Chinese and think like a Han Chinese.
That town is called Tonglu Town. There is a flower-filled building in the town.

There are four exquisite painted boats on the riverside.
On this day, Jin Sansheng took a whim and walked around for a while. He happened to see a cargo ship docking, with porters coming and going to load the goods in an endless stream. He stepped forward and chatted with the boatman for a few words, and heard him talk about a Red Star City in the Kunlun Mountains, where immortal masters and mortals lived together, and its prosperity was even higher than that of the capital city.
Jin San was yearning for it and learned that the cargo ship was heading for Scarlet Star City. It would set off three days later, so he begged the ship's boss to give him a ride. He was willing to work for free on the ship, but he only wanted to have a cold meal and a corner to lie down in. become. At first the boat boss refused to take him in, and he didn't force him. He caught a few hares, pheasants and other prey in the wild and gave them to the boat boss for drinking. When the boat boss saw that he was steady, smart, and had a unique skill, he softened his heart and decided to take him in. Agree to take him to Red Star City.
Jin Sansheng got on the boat and watched with cold eyes, mooring the cables, punting the boat, hoisting the sails, pulling the rudder, and lowering the anchor. He could learn all the work on the boat in no time. When he docked at night, he went for a walk in the mountains and forests, and luckily If it's good, bring back one or two small animals and skin them for everyone to try. The boss of the ship saw everything in his eyes and nodded secretly. He felt that he had picked up a treasure and had the idea of recruiting a son-in-law.
The boss of the ship has a daughter, whose nickname is Erya. She is twenty-eight years old and looks pretty neat. She cooks and washes on the ship. She shoulders the burden of life at a young age and is rarely happy. The arrival of Jin Sansheng changed everything. He didn't talk much and worked hard without complaining. When he was free, he would lean on the mast and play a few piccolos to relieve his fatigue. The sound of the flute was euphemistic and clear, like weeping or complaining. Erya listened from the inside of the cabin. As he listened, a smile appeared on his tired face.
Sensing his daughter's thoughts, the boat boss had the confidence to look at Jin Sansheng with a more critical eye. He deliberately yelled at him, raised his nose and raised eyebrows, and treated all kinds of injustices. Even the boatman who was trying to make a living couldn't stand it, but Jin Sansheng didn't take it seriously. , Work when you need to work, play the flute when you need to, as diligent as ever, no one can find any fault.
Enough was enough. The ship boss finally made up his mind and revealed his intention to recruit a son-in-law to Jin Sansheng the day before the ship arrived at Scarlet Star City.
Jin Sansheng didn't think much about it and declined politely.
Why? The boat boss was surprised and puzzled. Although he was not rich, at least he had a large boat with cargo and three or five boatmen. He could earn a lot of money by going back and forth between Tonglu Town and Chixing City. Could it be that a native of this country still looks down upon his possessions?
