A week later, his horse came back, bring along another black horse with it. The farmer filled with joy and he thought he was not as unlucky as he thought after all. That unlucky incident turn out to be a lucky one.

His only son was very strong and he determined to train the black horse. When he was training in the fields, he fell from the horse back and was paralysed permanently. The farmer was devastated and felt like it was the end of his whole world as he put all his family legacy and hope on his only son. He lived in pain and sadness from that day onwards.

Months later, there was a war between the interstates of China. The King summon all strong men throughout the country to fight in the war.
