Hao Xian was a stray kid Chen Quan took in.
It was pouring rain that day. Chen Quan was sprawled under a tree, drinking, when he suddenly heard something odd. Following the noise, he found a little boy, maybe eight or nine years old, huddled inside an empty wine vat. The kid was drenched and looked completely miserable.
Moved by pity, Chen Quan reached in and pulled him out. But the moment he did, the boy started screaming and fighting like his life depended on it. Chen Quan had no choice but to let him go, and the boy immediately climbed back into the vat and fell silent. It seemed like, for him, the wine vat was the only safe place in the world.
Chen Quan kept an eye on the vat and the boy inside it for a few days, and in the end, he brought both back with him to the Ghostlight Market.
