Major events in the world, when divided for long they will unite, and when united for long they will divide. On the vast land of China, there are four powerful countries: Holy Country, Dachang Country, Jin Country, and Qi Country. For hundreds of years, the four countries have been constantly at war with each other, but none of them can dominate the world. Years of warfare have caused the decline of all industries, and people are suffering. In remote areas, no one has been seen within a hundred miles, and seven or eight out of ten people in the world have died.
Therefore, the four countries jointly established an alliance: to recuperate and rest, and not to invade each other. This year is exactly the third year after the signing of the Four-Country Alliance. After three years of recuperation, the people of Dachang Country have returned home, rebuilt their houses, and farmed and raised livestock. Although traces of burned houses from the war can still be seen, vitality has reappeared.
"Little Tie, deliver this bundle of firewood to the kitchen at the back. As usual, it's four copper coins," said an old man with wrinkles on his face who looked to be over fifty as he spoke to a child selling firewood in front of him.
This child named Little Tie looks about eleven or twelve years old, with dark skin and short stature, but he has prominent eyebrows and big eyes. He may not be handsome, but there is a kind of expression between his eyebrows that makes people feel good at first sight.
