Gao Da Niu and Mao Pang Zi were murderous from the Black Mountain. They bought Xia Er to help them to kill. Xia Er was a good boy. He remembered what his father and mother taught him: "You must be a good person, don't do bad things".

After sometime Xia Er heard someone calling: "Xiao Di Di, Xia Di Di (small brother), open your eyes." When Xia Er opened his eyes, he saw many old men surrounding him.

As soon as he put on the leather shirt on he looked like a big shrimp.
