Text Preface 02
The Middle Domain, the most desolate domain of the First Heaven Order.
Water is scarce and the terrain is mainly desert, so in order to survive here, it is necessary to have deep wells pumped from the ground.
In a desert, there is a sparsely populated village called a deserted village, and the deserted village has a well for these people to live in.
Most of the people living in the deserted villages are middle-aged and elderly, and the young labor force has only four children, three boys and one girl.
Originally, there were only three children here, two men and one girl, but about a year ago, when the three children went out, they picked up a boy who had fainted in the desert and didn't remember anything, and named him Xiaosi.
......
"Hey!"
"Smack!"
The axe fell, and the wood was split in half.
In the deserted village, a young man was chopping wood with an axe, and next to him, there was already chopping wood as tall as him.
"Little four!" a gray-haired old man walked out of the house behind, "No need to split, this firewood is enough for my family for several days." ”
"It's fine. The boy named Xiaosi smiled and said, "The eldest brother and the second brother have gone to the city, and I am idle here, so it is better to help everyone do some work!"
"Alas, you child. The old man smiled and shook his head, "Why don't you eat at my place today, so I can thank you for your help!"
"No!" Xiao Si hurriedly waved his hand, "Xiao Shan said that she would cook a good meal and wait for me to go back to eat, if she didn't go back, she would be angry." ”
"Hahaha. The old man smiled and scratched his beard, "Then you should go back, you look up." ”
"Huh?"
Xiao Si looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was right above his head.
"Wow!"
Xiao Si showed a panicked expression: "Is it already this time?
Xiao Si hurriedly put down the axe and ran towards his home.
"What an energetic fellow!" said the old man with a smile.
......
Xiao Si ran back to his residence as fast as he could.
"I'm back!" Xiao Si pushed the door in.
"Huh?"
It's really strange, didn't you say that you would wait for me to come back for dinner? Why is there no one!
"It's back......"
Suddenly, an unfriendly voice came from behind.
"That's right...... It's back......" Xiao Si slowly turned his head and saw a girl with a ponytail looking at him with bad intentions.
"Ahh......h
It was naturally the girl who grabbed Xiao Si's ear, and the girl said a little angrily: "You came back late for almost half an hour." ”
"Okay, okay, Xiaoshan, I was wrong, you can spare me this time!" Xiao Si begged for mercy.
"Hmph!" the girl let go of her hand with a cold snort, "Forget it, I know that you are going to help the people in the village, so I will not punish you." ”
"Yes, yes, Xiaoshan is the best. ”
Xiao Si said with a smile while rubbing his ears.
This girl is Zhou Shan, and the boy is the amnesiac boy they picked up a year ago, and now everyone calls him Xiaosi.
Time flies, it's been almost a year, Xiao Si gets along well with the people here, and his mood is not affected by not being able to remember the previous events.
"Come, let's eat!"
Zhou Shan pulled Xiao Si to sit down at the dining table and took away the cloth that should be on it.
"Wow!"
Xiao Shan said excitedly: "How is it, is it abundant?"
On the table, there are three plates of things, a plate of rice, a plate of wild vegetables, and a plate of shiitake mushrooms.
"Isn't it just that there are more shiitake mushrooms than usual? Xiao Si said disapprerovingly.
"What do you call it, there is an extra shiitake mushroom!" Zhou Shan said very dissatisfied, "This shiitake mushroom is very precious! The amount that can be taken back every year is not much, if the eldest brother is here, we will definitely not be allowed to eat it." ”
"Big brother won't let you bring anything to eat...... Xiao Si showed a helpless expression, "Is this really good? If Big Brother comes back and finds out, he will definitely scold us." ”
"Scold, scold!" Zhou Shan looked indifferent, "What can he do with us?"
It is true that you can't do anything to them, after all, they have already eaten, do you want them to spit out everything they have eaten?
"But...... Why did you deliberately bring this to eat today?" Xiao Si asked puzzled.
"Hmph......" Zhou Shan showed a smug expression on her face, "Because it's your birthday!"
"My birthday?" Xiao Si was even more confused, he was an amnesiac person, he didn't know his birthday, how could Zhou Shan know?
Seeing Xiao Si's expression, Zhou Shan explained with a smile: "Fourth brother, have you forgotten? This time last year, it was the day you came to the deserted village!"
"This time last year......"
Xiao Si also remembered that at this time last year, he was walking alone in the desolate desert, he was hungry and thirsty, and finally fainted in the desert. It was the eldest brother Lin Yi, the second brother Li Er, and Zhou Shan who found themselves fainting and took him to the deserted village.
"It's been exactly a year!" Thinking of this, Xiao Si couldn't help but feel that he was very lucky, when he was about to die, he met the eldest brother and second brother who were good to him, as well as Zhou Shan, and came here to meet the people in the deserted village.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Xiao Si was stunned, Zhou Shan shook him.
"Nothing. Xiao Si smiled, "Thank you, Xiao Shan!"
"There's nothing to thank!" Zhou Shan also said with a smile, "We're family, alas, there's really nothing to thank!"
"Hmm!" Xiao Si nodded, "Let's eat!"
"Okay!
Xiao Si stuffed a piece of shiitake mushroom into his mouth.
"How?"
Zhou Shan looked at Xiao Si with excitement on her face.
"It's delicious!"
Xiao Si said with a smile. In fact, no matter what the taste of this shiitake mushroom is, he will say that it is delicious, because he knows that this is made by Zhou Shan herself, and it contains her heart.
......
Although Xiao Si feels that he has been living in a deserted village very quickly, he has never been so happy as today, because this is his first birthday...... Well, it's his first birthday since his amnesia, but he's still happy!
"Fourth brother," Zhou Shan asked while eating, "Are you scared because you lost your memory!"
"Huh?" Xiao Si thought for a while, "Actually, it's nothing! Since I've forgotten it, there's no need to think about it, and thinking about it is just just adding to my troubles." ”
"However, have you ever thought that before you lost your memory, you had your original life, your original friends, or maybe you still had a good identity?"
"That's just my life before this physical amnesia. After the amnesia, I am the fourth, and my current life is my life, the deserted village is my home, and everyone in the deserted village is my family. ”
"Really?" asked Zhou Shan.
"Of course it's true. Xiao Si nodded seriously, and then looked at Zhou Shan strangely, "Obviously you're celebrating my birthday, why did you suddenly say this!"
"Because ......" Zhou Shan was silent for a while, then plucked up the courage to raise her head and look at Xiao Si, and said, "Because I'm afraid that when you remember your previous memories, you will leave us and forget me." ”
"Forehead......" Xiao Si was speechless, it turned out that he was worried about this!
"Don't worry!" Xiao Si put his hand on Zhou Shan's head, "No matter where I am, whether I remember my previous memories or not, I will always be your fourth brother." ”
Xiao Si smiled kindly.
Looking at Xiao Si's smile, Zhou Shan believed his words in his heart, he believed that people with such a smile would not deceive her.
"Pounce!"
Zhou Shan threw herself into Xiao Si's arms and said happily: "Fourth brother is the best!"
Xiao Si smiled: "Second brother is okay, don't let the eldest brother hear this, otherwise he will be angry again." ”
"If you hear it, you hear it!" Zhou Shan puffed out her cheeks and said, "I just like the fourth brother the most, what can he do to me?"
"Huh. ”
"Bang Bang ......"
Suddenly, there was a slight knock on the door.
"Alas, big brother, they shouldn't have come back so soon!"
Lin Yi and Li Er went to the town to buy something, and it stands to reason that they should come back tomorrow.
Xiao Si and Zhou Shan went to open the door together, only to see several village elders standing outside the door, each holding something in their hands.
Seeing them, Zhou Shan and Xiao Si looked at each other puzzled, and then asked, "I don't know what happened to the elders?"
The uncle who helped Xiao Si chop wood before stepped forward and handed a bag to Xiao Si: "Today is the first anniversary of Xiao Si coming to us, and we have specially prepared some gifts." ”
Xiao Si looked at Zhou Shan, Zhou Shan hurriedly shook her head, she just wanted to make something delicious for Xiao Si, but she didn't tell anyone else the news.
"Nothing surprising. The old man smiled and said, "After you came, you helped us a lot, and we remember all this, just today is the first anniversary of your arrival in the village, and we have specially prepared some gifts for you." Be careful. ”
Since that's all said, don't seem to be losing face!
Xiao Si took the bag, and just by touching it, he knew that it should be some clothes inside.
"Our family's own clothes, I hope you like it. ”
"And this. Another old man also handed over a bag, "This is a stone sculpture I made with my own hands, I hope you like it." ”
Xiao Si took it and opened the bag, carving four small stone figures standing on a stone, three men and one woman, it was their four brothers and sisters.
"And this. An old man handed over a scroll.
"What is this?" Xiao Si saw such a scroll for the first time since coming to this deserted village.
"This is Xuantatu. The old man smiled and stroked his beard, "This is the Xuanta diagram left by a child who is now far away, and it is useless for me to keep it, so I will give it to you." ”
Xiao Si took the Xuanta Diagram, took it in his hand and carefully took it, and then said with a puzzled expression: "What is the use of the Xuanta Diagram?"
"Stupid fourth brother. Zhou Shan on the side said, "In the Three Days Domain, if you want to become a cultivator, you must have your own Xuanta Diagram. ”
"What is a cultivator?"
"Forehead ......"
After Xiaosi lost his memory, he had never been exposed to anything like cultivation, so it was normal not to know......
