Through the narratives of a few people, An Yiqing learned about the stories of the brothers. Their surname was Feng, named Tianci, Tianbao, Tianfei, Tianhai, and Tianyu. They were identical quintuplets who grew up together from a very young age, with a close bond between them. When they were five years old, the Feng parents both died in a car accident, and from then on, they became unwanted wild children.
It was during the winter of that year that the bizarre old man suddenly developed a bit of kindness and subsequently adopted them, providing them with food.
However, the old man was addicted to alcohol and had many jars of strong liquor he had brewed himself buried in his courtyard. He would drink until he was drunk every day. When he was sober, he was very strict with the Feng Family Five Brothers, but when he was drunk, he would beat and scold them even more, often leaving the children too injured to move.
