This book is set in the war-torn era and focuses on how the small people at the bottom struggle to survive and pursue their dreams in the big era. Sun Wujiu, who was once peaceful and self-reliant, was displaced in a sudden military rebellion. He had to form a "temporary team" with the street doctor Lu Xiaoman, the stolen son Shi Gezi, the down-and-out bodyguard Wu Daleng, and the down-and-out scholar Yang Zhiqiu. They accidentally got involved in the whirlpool of rivers, lakes and temples. With wit, humor, courage and occasional luck, they went from begging to emerging in the small town, and inadvertently participated in the power game, thus affecting small ripples of the times. In the face of the war in troubled times, everyone burst into laughter while running through the situation, interpreting the legend of being in a state of chaos without losing dignity and hope. All the ups and downs, accompanied by humor and twists and turns, finally found their own new life in the ending of the competition among the heroes.
