Chapter 166

Since childhood, men have always had a puzzle about why children are rarely seen in the village, and women are rarely seen. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It wasn't until he followed his mother out to school that he finally realized that everyone was like this and left here with his mother.

But why didn't my father go with him?

He didn't understand, so one time when he came home on the weekend, he asked his father in confusion, but his father, who was silent, gave only a gentle smile.

His father was reluctant to leave the village, he thought, perhaps because his father was highly respected in the village and needed to preside over the overall situation in many matters, but his father was not the only such person. His friends, like him, left the village with only his mother, and his father all stayed in the village, facing the low-harvest fields every day.

It's as if these taciturn men can't leave the land.

But there are no shackles on them.

When he was young, he couldn't figure it out, but when he grew up, he didn't have the interest to think.

The outside world was completely different from the village, where everything was held and he was addicted to it, and if possible, he wanted not to go back to that little village for the rest of his life.

But his father suddenly told him that when he reached the age of twenty, he would never be able to set foot in the village again.

He didn't understand why, such a declaration was so unreasonable that he could only think it was a joke, so he immediately packed up his things and prepared to leave, but before he could set out on the only path to the outside world, many figures appeared in front of him.

It was the grandfather who was kind to him, the uncle who helped take care of him, and the older brother who took his hand and grew up with him.

All the familiar people stood in front of him, looking at him with a very firm but strange gaze.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar faces, he realized that this was not a "joke" at all.

He was really not allowed to leave.

He didn't understand why, but the young rebellious heart would not be bound by this, and even if he was taken home, he would always look for an opportunity to get out of here, but no matter how careful he was, he would always end up failing and being taken home again and again. After many failed resistances, he could only pretend to compromise and wait for an opportunity to act, so he was sent by his father to the ancestral hall in the middle of the village, where he temporarily stayed.

To his surprise, he met his friend there. They were of the same age, all of them were over twenty years old during this time, and they returned to the village a few days before and after he returned, but unlike him, they just laughed it off when they heard their father tell them that they could no longer leave the village, and no one took it seriously, and they were relaxed at the moment to greet him.

Looking at the room full of people, he quickly realized that the young people of this generation had arrived.

Why do you want to bring them all back? And why are you gathered here?

Just when he was secretly confused, the most respected uncle in the village came out.

Unlike his usual gentleness and kindness, the uncle's expression was very serious, and after glancing at them, he spoke slowly in a very solemn voice.

From the uncle's mouth, the young people finally learned that the legendary "treasure" really existed.

And the people of their whole village are the ones who have guarded that "treasure" for generations, so all the men have the responsibility to stay behind to protect the land and the "treasure" hidden in it after the weak crown.

Uncle is still telling their history in detail, everyone is listening quietly, too many details prove the authenticity of the uncle's words, so that these young people from the initial unbelief gradually to have to believe, and even many people began to think about whether they should take over the burden of their ancestors and take on this responsibility again.

But he was not among them.

Just for a "treasure" who doesn't know what kind of "treasure" it looks like, he wants him to spend his whole life in this poor country?

Are you kidding? What does the "responsibility" of those ancestors have to do with him?

His heart became more and more dissatisfied, and he became more determined to leave here, but he did not make any obvious moves on his face, and when the uncle said that he would take them to see where the "treasure" they had been guarding was, he also cooperated and followed. Looking at the entrance of the ancient and solemn building, listening to the uncle tell them how the ancestors had fought to protect this place in the war many centuries ago, the friends around him were amazed, but he couldn't bear the slightest respect for the ancestors in his heart, but couldn't help but curse secretly.

After that, he obeyed his uncle's arrangement and received various training with his friends. The training was unlike anything he had ever been exposed to, it looked old and strange, and each of them was so physically demanding that it was perverted, and he cursed in his heart.

For a long time after that, they spent time in training, and occasionally the old man of the village would come to teach some inexplicable things, and of course he had listened to it or not, and was full of thoughts on how to leave. In their spare time, they follow their parents to familiarize themselves with the terrain of the village and learn how to farm. After a while, the intensity of the training gradually stabilized, and the leisure time increased, and he began to contact his friends frequently, quietly listening to their voices to see if there were anyone who thought the same way as himself.

However, he was disappointed.

All of my friends said they were willing to take on the responsibility for their father.

Why?

Just because I don't know who built the old building? Or is it the so-called history that the uncle told them? Or what kind of "heroic deeds" that you can always hear from the old man who bravely killed the enemy and defended the village?

If there really is a "treasure", why don't you use it for hundreds of years to enrich the villagers? If all that history is true, why has he never heard of it when he is in the outside world? If sixty or seventy years ago in the midst of war could have fought and won the enemy, then why didn't the village even have a rudimentary hot weapon?

Come on, it's just a small broken village, do they really believe these things?

He couldn't understand his friends' thoughts, and he couldn't convince them, so he had to quietly look for a chance to leave alone.

In any case, he did not want to live in such a small place for the rest of his life.

However, the seemingly peaceful and leisurely village actually had a strange tightness, and he couldn't find an opportunity to take advantage of it anyway, and his heart couldn't help but become increasingly anxious.

And at this moment, three foreigners suddenly came to the village. (To be continued.) )
