The Boy in Straw Sandals Becomes an Immortal

A freak who spent twenty months in the womb and still hadn't been born came into the world on a stormy, snowy night. His birth terrified everyone in the village.

The boy was born no bigger than the sole of an adult's shoe, with tiny arms and legs, tiny eyes, nose, and mouth, and a tiny head. Everyone was frightened by the sight of him. His father wanted to throw him away, but his mother couldn't bear to and kept him. From then on, the tiny boy became a thorn in his father's side and the village's jinx. No one liked him except his mother, who suffered terribly for his sake. His father was always cursing her, refusing to give her food or the boy anything to eat. The poor boy was so malnourished that he didn't gain any weight for months after birth, remaining no bigger than a shoe sole. His mother named him Qi Xiaoxie. She saw how clever he was and how good his memory was, and treasured him like a precious gem. But his father kept looking for ways to get rid of him.

One day, his father took him and his older brothers hunting in the mountains, intending to abandon him. But something unexpected happened during the hunt. It seemed a great master was always watching over the boy, helping him escape danger time and time again. Later, while fleeing disaster, the boy met a girl named Tian Duoduo who was also on the run, and they became good friends. As Qi Xiaoxie grew up, he received guidance from an immortal and eventually became a divine hero who upheld justice and helped the poor.
