Preface 03
Deserted Village, a small village in the middle of the region, is located in a desolate desert, where the population is small, and few outsiders come in a year, except for a few passing tourists from time to time.
There are only four young people in the deserted village, Lin Yi, Li Er, Zhou Shan, and Xiao Si.
Lin Yi and Li Er were responsible for leaving the desert village and going through the desert to find food in a nearby town to bring back to the deserted village, while Zhou Shan and Xiao Si stayed in the village to help the villagers work.
The fourth child wakes up early as always...... It's been a long time since I came to this village, and although I can't remember my previous memories, Xiao Si feels that his life is good now.
Xiao Si is also a Xuan Pagoda cultivator now, although it is just an ordinary Tatu, but Xiao Si is also practicing very hard, and now he also has a layer of fifth-order cultivation.
"Bang Bang ......"
Xiao Si came to a dilapidated house and knocked softly on the door.
This house was uninhabited some time ago, but some time ago, Xiao Si saw a bearded man with several wounds on the wasteland near the deserted village...... Then Xiao Si took him back to the deserted village, Xiao Si now has a certain amount of cultivation, and it is not difficult to carry an adult who can't move.
Xiao Si took the uncle back to the deserted village, and after a little treatment with the only resources, the uncle woke up.
When he woke up, he said thank you and went out to take a look at his surroundings.
"It's called a deserted village, a small village......" Xiao Si wanted to introduce something, and the uncle walked to the house that had been empty for a long time.
"Is there a place to live?"
Xiao Si was stunned and said, "No one has lived in this house all along......
"Then I'll live here after that. Before Xiao Si finished speaking, the uncle pushed the door in.
Seeing this, Xiao Si also hurriedly followed......
"Ahem, cough, cough...... "The house has not been used for a long time, and it is also full of dust, which makes Xiaosi very uncomfortable, but the uncle has nothing to do.
"Why don't I go and call a few people to come and help clean up?" asked Xiao Si.
The uncle shook his head lightly: "No, I'm fine, how can I deal with people." ”
"That's ......"
"You can call me Lao Tie. ”
"Huh?"
"I'm an ironworker, and if there's anything you can do to help, feel free to come to me. ”
In this way, Lao Tie lived in this house. Although Lao Tie lives here, he doesn't have much to do with the people who live here, so the four young people can talk to him a few words.
Lao Tie is indeed very good at striking iron, before Xiao Si and their axe was broken, I told Lao Tie, and the next day I sent Xiao Si a new, very sharp axe, and the material is still Xiao Si has never seen.
Xiao Si didn't ask, after all, if he asked, Lao Tie wouldn't necessarily tell him, just use it.
Later, if other people in the village had any needs in terms of iron, Xiao Si would go to Lao Tie for help on their behalf.
Lao Tie did not refuse these requests, and the next day he would give Xiao Siyi a brand new iron tool with unknown materials and good quality.
On this day, Xiao Si came to help the uncle next door to get a small hammer.
"Lao Tie, it's my ......"
No one in the house responded.
"Old Iron ...... Then I'm in. ”
It's not a matter of a day or two that no one responds in the house, and every time no one comes in, Xiao Si will see a brand new iron tool on the table, and Lao Tie is sleeping in the inner room.
"Click......"
Xiao Si softly pushed the door in. He cautiously walked over to the table, and it was strange that the new ironware was not placed on the table as usual.
Xiao Si walked into the inner room again, and Lao Tie was not inside.
"Where did you go?" Xiao Si was puzzled, he had never seen Lao Tie leave this house, even the food he ate was brought to him by Xiao Si.
"Whew!"
Xiao Si suddenly felt like a gust of wind blowing behind him...... How could there be a sudden wind in this house?
Xiao Si hurriedly turned around, I don't know when, Lao Tie seemed to suddenly appear in this house, and what he was holding in his hand was a new small hammer.
"Old Tie ......" Xiao Si opened his mouth in surprise, he was also practicing, knowing that when the cultivation level was very high, he could come and go like the wind...... Just like Lao Tie just did.
But Lu Shuangyang always thought that Lao Tie was just an ordinary blacksmith, but he didn't expect that he was still a hidden master.
"It's you......" Lao Tie said lightly, casually throwing the hammer in his hand, "What you want." ”
"Oooh!" the little four hammers took over...... Although he tried to make his expression appear calm, he could not hide the excitement in his heart.
"Lao Tie, are you a cultivator of the Xuan Pagoda, or a master?" asked Xiao Si.
"Don't say it. He didn't answer Xiao Si's question, but he already admitted it.
"Awesome!" Xiao Si looked adoring, and then said seriously, "Don't worry, I will never say it." ”
Lao Tie nodded lightly, walked to his bed and fell asleep directly.
"Old Iron ......"
"Purr!"
Xiao Si wanted to say something, but a loud snoring sound came...... Lao Tie just fell asleep.
"Isn't it!!, are you falling asleep?" Xiao Si was also so shocked that he couldn't speak, no matter how tired he was, he wouldn't fall asleep!
And look at Lao Tie like this, where is there a master who should look like!
"Alas!" Xiao Si sighed helplessly, although Xiao Si wanted to know about Lao Tie, but Xiao Si felt that even if he asked, Lao Tie would not tell him...... After thinking about it, Xiao Si still took the hammer and left.
As soon as Xiao Si closed the door, Lao Tie opened his eyes and sat up.
Lao Tie looked back at the direction Xiao Si left: "This ordinary life is good, but how long can it last?"
......
"Little four, look!"
When I got home, I saw that my eldest brother Lin Yi and second brother Li Er had returned.
"What's wrong?"
"This!"
Lin Yi handed Xiao Si a piece of paper...... Although Xiaosi has amnesia, he is still literate.
"Recruit Xuan Pagoda cultivators to go on an expedition together, require a layer of five or more, and sign up to get five kilograms of food. ”
"So what?" said Xiao Si lightly.
"What, ah! Five kilograms of grain! Five kilograms of food, alas, are enough for the people of the village to eat for several days!" Lin Yi said excitedly.
"You mean you want me to go. ”
Although Lin Yi and Li Er are also cultivators of the Xuan Pagoda, and they are cultivating the same pagoda as Xiao Si, Xiao Si also showed them the tower map given by the villagers before. But the two of them were busy running around, and their strength had only reached the first level for a short time, and they couldn't meet the requirements of the fifth order of the first layer.
"Of course, who is going if you don't go?"
"This is not very good!" Zhou Shan took the piece of paper, "It said that going on an expedition, although the conditions are good, will there be danger?"
Zhou Shan's first thought was not how good it was to have this condition, but the potential danger.
"That's right!" Li Er on the side also echoed, "They didn't explain where to go, they only said that they were going to explore, we don't know the details, so it seems too reckless to let Xiao Si go, after all, people are willing to spend such a big price." ”
"What's wrong!" Lin Yiyi said righteously, he looked at Li Er, "Didn't you also see it at that time? There are a bunch of people signing up there, and the food is still reported and taken." ”
"That's what I said, but I still don't think it'...... right."
"Alas, alas!" Lin Yi interrupted Li Er and turned back to look at Xiao Si, "After all, it is you who meet the requirements, you decide for yourself whether you want to go or not." ”
"Hmmm......"
Xiao Si fell silent, indeed, five kilograms of grain is enough for the people in the village to eat for several days, but he also said that it was an expedition, and if he went, he was afraid that he would encounter danger.
"Fourth brother, don't......" Zhou Shan said, he didn't want Xiao Si to encounter any danger.
"Go, think about it, five kilograms of grain!" Lin Yi was persuading.
Li Er watched silently, he was also very helpless, to be honest, he also wanted to go, for the sake of the five kilograms of grain, it would be good to go by himself, but he just couldn't meet the requirements.
"Hmm...... Okay, I'll give it a try!" Xiao Si said with a smile.
"Fourth brother......! Really!"
"Great! Little Four, I knew you would say yes!"
"Alas......"
The reason why Xiao Si agreed was not only for the five kilograms of food, but also because he could go outside to have a look.
He has been in this deserted village since he woke up. Although he is happy with his current life, he is also curious about what the outside world is like.
"Big brother and fourth brother are all stupid!" Zhou Shan was so angry that she stomped her feet and ran out of the house.
"Alas, how did I become a stupid person?" Lin Yi was also speechless.
"I'll take a look!" Xiao Si also hurriedly followed.
......
Xiao Si came to a small hill near the deserted village, and as he expected, Zhou Shan was here...... It's like this every time, and Zhou Shan will come here whenever she is unhappy.
"Xiao Shan......" Xiao Si silently walked behind Zhou Shan.
"Fourth brother, do you know, I've always been scared of ......," Zhou Shan looked at the wasteland road in front of him.
"Scared?" Xiao Si was puzzled.
"Because the reason why you stayed with me in the deserted village is because you don't remember what happened before. I'm afraid, if one day you remember the past, you will leave me and ignore me again, if you go out, will you remember ......"
"Are you a fool?" Xiao Si smiled and walked to Zhou Shan's side and hugged her shoulder, "No matter who I used to be, whether I will remember the previous things, but everything I and you have here cannot be changed through my personal experience, I will always be your fourth brother, this will not change." ”
Zhou Shan turned his head and looked at Xiao Si with tears in his eyes.
Xiao Si smiled and said, "Don't worry! I'll be fine!"
"Smack!"
Zhou Shan leaned her head on Xiao Si's solid chest and said in a low voice: "Fourth brother is the best! I like fourth brother the most......
