I'm se long, well that's my name in this world. after i was born here i was given this name. when my family died, i dont mean all my relatives i mean my father and mother . I was 10. after that i was all alone. no one was my family in this world. all the relatives that i have no one of them wanted to take me in because i have average talent for cultivation. from that point i have an erge to cultivate. and because they didnt take me in i had to take care of myself with the money my parents left me.
now I'm 12 years old . in the past two years I had spend all the money on food and now I have nothing.
I had gone to do something to earn but I refuse to beg. So I went to many people to find work and all of them send me off after just talking a look at me.
" what should I do I need money, If I don't get any I will be forced to beg for money."
' what should I do, mmm let's just look around the market for anything that I can take advantage of '
I was looking around the market many people with many colours and many shops on with different items.
I wonder around the market and noticed something no one used paper some used wooden sticks, some clothes and other wooden tables, so If I can make paper then I can sell them in high priced and make profit out of it.
So entered in a inn, looked around and the manager was in the counter busy writing something on a wooden table.
I approached him, he was a middle aged man. He looked annoyed and said "what do you want kid"
"Sir, What is the thing you are writing on"
" wooden tables"
"Sir, do you have any wooden tables that you don't use"
" what are you going to do with them "
" I'm going to use them in repairing my house that has small holes out everywhere."
" all right I will give you 20 wooden tables but you will have to clean the dishes for a week "
' so this cunning fox want to get free laber out of me, but then again no one throws out good wooden tables in the street and only if I can get him to let me eat it Will be good for me'
" mmm okay, but you will have to feed me two meals a day then I will work and my name is se long"
" alright se long you can start from right now"
Then for one week I worked and lived there.
Then after one week I approached the manager
" manager I worked for a week now give me my tables "
" ah se long here is your wooden tables I'm giving you extra 10 for how hard you worked"
'Ha I made him work for a week for something that I was going to burn anyway '
" thank you mister, I will come to you if I need any more"
' let's go to the river and wash them '
I reach a place on side of the river where nobody comes. I washed the wooden tables the ink on the table didn't wash away. But at least it wouldn't mess up my plans. I placed it on the sun too dry and gone to collect some more ingredients.
I managed to get a muddy pot from the streets and it was useable for what I will do.
" now all that's left is tree glue and cotton, I have to have to wash and dry the cotton so I need to gather cotton first and Then I can get tree glue "
'I think the forest on the side of the city has cotton tree's let's go there '
On my way to the forest I noticed that some cultivator's was in the city, ' they all must be going to some place, well not my place to be let's finish the work '
When I reached the forest I started searching for the cotton tree's after searching for half an hour I funded it. The cotton tree was taller than normal tree so it was I didn't get on the tree I throw rocks and thick sticks because if I get hurt then there's nobody to help me.
I took the cotton that fall from the tree and the once that was on the ground before I came here but useable.
Then I bring the cotton by the river side. Removed seeds and things like that from the cotton and then I washed the cotton. Little by little I placed them to dry up.
Then I got on to get the last ingredient that is tree glue, to get tree glue I wonder around the forest and fund some .
For tree glue I gone to the forest and I slowly collected tree glue. I collected them from one tree then to another.
Looking at the sky I said " when I have money I will start my own cultivation"
' let's just go start making paper, mmm I think I don't need anymore '
