Earth World in the late nineties of the twentieth century AD.

In the northwest of a large basin in the southwest of China, there is a mountainous area with a radius of 100 miles, and the rolling mountains stand quietly under the blue sky, and they have existed in this unchanging array in this remote and lonely wilderness for millions of years, and they, and only they, have witnessed the rise and fall of the civilization created by human beings outside the mountains for 5,000 years from beginning to end.

It is a pity that the creators are always silent, and the countless tragicomedies staged by human beings in the fertile and warm basin outside the mountains are scattered in the dust of the years, and although the traces of ancient civilizations buried deep in the ground have been discovered by the people of today, because the times are too old, they are left to the contemporary world more mysteries that cannot be solved.

There is a junior high school in a large valley only a dozen miles away from the plains outside the mountains, and our new story begins with this mountain village school.

The appearance of this mountain school is as unpretentious as that of the mountain people, and it looks very small, there is a sports field in front of the three rows of red brick and gray tile bungalows, because from today the summer vacation, all the teachers and students gather on the sports field to hold the final assembly, the procedure of the conference is also very simple, first to award certificates to the three good students who have won this semester, and then by the principal to give a speech.

Although the summer sun is almost reaching the top of Xishan, its light is still hot. There were more than 200 junior high school boys and girls lined up on the sports field, and at the front of the student queue stood several teachers, and a female headmistress in her early forties gave a speech.

The female principal's surname is Guo, and she is an intellectual young man who went to the countryside from the city outside the mountains more than 20 years ago. Soon he was assigned to teach at this school, and later married a young local teacher and had children, and stayed in the mountains ever since.

The headmistress was very understanding, seeing that the students were sweating in the sun, she was a little distressed, she just briefly said what to do and what not to do after the holiday, and then announced the end of the school-wide teacher-student assembly and the students went home for the holiday.

A second-year junior high school girl named Lin Xiaolan did not leave school and go home immediately, she returned to the dormitory with a colorful award certificate she had just won in her hand, packed her luggage, and then came to the principal's office with a book in her hand.

The headmistress had just sat down behind her desk.

There was an electric fan on the roof of the principal's office, and the female student felt a cool breeze blowing when she walked into the room, and she walked to the desk and said affectionately: "Principal Guo, I have finished reading the book "Journey to the West" that you showed me, and I will return it to you during the holidays." ”

As he spoke, he placed an antique book on the principal's desk.

The principal picked up the book and flipped through it, and asked with a smile: "Xiaolan, this is an ancient version, have you understood it?" ”

The principal, who is also the Chinese teacher of Xiaolan's class, likes this very talented student in front of her very much, so she will lend her the precious ancient Chinese version of the novel in her hand to read.

Xiaolan nodded and said: "I think I should understand everything, I have known the story of Journey to the West for a long time, and I can guess its meaning even if I don't know some ancient characters." ”

The principal said with satisfaction: "Very good, it is very good that you have the patience to read this ancient edition, but you can't just read the storyline, you have to think, have you found any problems after reading this book?" ”

Xiaolan thought for a while and replied: "Teacher Guo, I found that there are many literary works from ancient times to the present that write about gods and monsters, and we mountain people are also very superstitious. ”

Hearing the student's question, the smile on the principal's face suddenly disappeared, and she said with a serious expression: "From a scientific point of view, everything in the world, including us human beings, is the creation of nature, so there should be no supernatural things. If there really is a so-called fairy monster, it will not be the kind depicted in these literary works, the immortals will not be cultivated in a mysterious cave, and the most likely will be aliens from outside the sky! ”

"Aliens?" The girl blurted out, realizing that she was too loud, she unconsciously covered her mouth with her hand, and the principal's words were really unexpected.

"That's right! Alien! Scientifically called extraterrestrial. You see that there are countless stars in the night sky, that is, the sun outside the sky, and those suns are all around, and scientifically speaking, most of them have planets like our earth. If you think about how many human worlds like our earth should be among the countless planets outside the sky, there must be many human worlds among them that are much more technologically advanced than our earthlings, and they can drive spaceships to our earth. Have you heard of Sanxingdui outside the mountain? ”

The girl nodded, "I heard that my dad was doing carpentry work outside the mountain and passed by those ruins. ”

"Just passing by and seeing nothing, the Sanxingdui Museum has been opened to the public, and the cultural relics found are concentrated there. The museum is less than 100 kilometers away from us, so I'll go and see it in a few days, and maybe I'll organize some of the best students to visit it next semester. There are various mysteries in the Sanxingdui civilization that archaeologists have been unable to solve, so many people think that the Sanxingdui civilization of our ancient Shu Kingdom is related to aliens. The headmaster said with a sense of urgency.

The principal's words made the girl's curiosity rise to the peak, and she said excitedly: "Principal Guo, so there are really aliens who have been here with us in ancient times?" ”

The principal smiled and said with a smile: "At present, it is only a reasonable guess, I think that as archaeologists further study the cultural relics unearthed in Sanxingdui, they will find traces left by aliens." Okay, it's not too early, you still have to rush home from the mountain, so let's go early. ”

After bidding farewell to the principal, Xiaolan returned to the dormitory, put on her schoolbag, and walked out of the school gate with a travel bag.

Passing through a sweet potato field, coming to a junction up the hill, hiding in the shade of a big tree on the side of the road, she looked at her watch, the time was already a quarter past five, Dad had been waiting here for a long time before, why was he late today?

Xiaolan looked at the township government compound not far away, in front of which was a parking lot, where the winding mountain road leading to the plains outside the mountains ended, and Dad always took a motorized tricycle or minivan from outside the mountains to get off there. At this time, there were several motorized tricycles waiting for passengers in the parking lot, and a few idle old people sitting in the shade of the trees playing cards.

This mountain town is called Shishan Township because the highest peak in the mountain is called Lion Mountain, which is said to be 5,000 meters above sea level. There are also a few shops on both sides of this simple road centered on the township government, which can be regarded as the most prosperous and lively area in this mountain township. But compared to the towns outside the mountains, life in the mountains is really monotonous.

Especially in recent years, almost all the young people in the mountains have run away from home, and most of them go to the southern cities to work for a better life, and the rest of the mountains are the old people and children.

Even growing up in such a mountain, Xiaolan has always lived a simple and happy life, and her parents are also the kind of contented and happy character.

Xiaolan is fourteen years old this year, is the only daughter of the family, at home she is the daughter of her parents, at school she is a beautiful girl and a talented girl, her father is a well-known carpenter in the mountains and outside the mountains, the income is also good, the mother takes care of a large area of self-retained mountains and a small piece of mountain land at home, and there is also a considerable income from selling trees and medicinal herbs every year, and the family is simple and happy and carefree.

Xiaolan's dream future is to go to high school in a town outside the mountains after graduating from junior high school, with her own intelligence, after graduating from high school, she will definitely be admitted to a prestigious university in the metropolis, and then study media, and become the kind of TV host she has always admired after graduation.

But a few months ago, Xiaolan's mother was diagnosed with liver cancer in the city hospital, which was undoubtedly a death sentence, so the family fell into the abyss of pain ever since.

After two months in the hospital, the treatment not only spent all the family's savings but also did not improve her condition, Xiaolan's mother insisted on going home to recuperate, saying that the air in the mountains was better, and she had herbs in the mountains, and maybe the treatment effect was better than Western medicine. Fortunately, Xiaolan's mother can still take care of herself at present, and Xiaolan's grandparents live not far away, and the two old people often go to take care of their daughter.

Since Xiaolan's mother fell ill, Xiaolan's father sought folk medicine for his wife while doing carpentry work outside.

Xiaolan's father's name is Lin Shunhua, because the family's economic conditions were not good when he was young, he did not go to school after graduating from junior high school, but learned a carpentry trade. Because of his kind and cheerful personality and diligence and studiousness, he became a master carpenter who did a good job after a few years, and now he takes a few apprentices to make solid wood furniture for others in the towns outside the mountains.

Because Xiaolan's family lives in the mountains in the mountains, there are still seven or eight miles of mountain roads away from the school, so she lives on campus on weekdays after school starts and goes home on weekends and holidays. For the safety of his daughter, Lin Shunhua has to personally pick up and drop off his daughter from school every time.

Xiaolan waited for about twenty minutes, and her father finally arrived.

Lin Shunhua is not tall but very strong and has upright facial features, he has an easy-going personality, because he likes to chat with others when doing carpentry work, so he can be said to be well-informed, plus he does carpentry work indoors all year round, so his complexion and temperament are not at all like mountain people but a township cadre.

Xiaolan's appearance inherited almost all of her father's advantages, but because the girls in the mountains often had to work outdoors, her complexion was not as fair as that of the girls in the city.

Lin Shunhua didn't have any luggage himself, but he just had a bright axe stuck in his waist, which was a necessary self-defense weapon for him to walk the mountain road. He hurried up to his daughter, and without saying a word, he took all her schoolbag and travel bag, and then the father and daughter walked to the west in the mountains.

Although Lin Shunhua was sweating profusely, he was in a good mood, and said as he walked: "Xiaolan, I came late today because I went to visit the Sanxingdui Museum early in the morning, and hurried back after reading it. ”

"Sanxingdui Museum?" Xiaolan exclaimed, thinking to herself how could there be such a coincidence, what the principal mentioned just now, her father actually did it.

She stopped and turned around and asked in surprise, "Dad, how did you go to a museum alone?" If you want to go, you should take me to visit during the holidays! ”

Lin Shunhuahua hurriedly explained: "It's not that I want to go myself, but someone else invited me to go!" That's the case, the Chen family I helped make furniture is very good, their son is a graduate student in Shancheng, and he returned home from vacation yesterday, it was he who proposed to take his parents and sister to visit the Sanxingdui Museum early this morning, and by the way, he also wanted me to go with him, and it was a fool not to go to the museum without spending money, so I agreed. The graduate students were not ambiguous, so they immediately booked a small van in the town, and we chartered a bus there early this morning. ”

Xiao Lin felt a little more balanced when he heard this, turned around and continued to climb the mountain, "Dad, the museum is beautiful, right?" Principal Guo just told me about the Sanxingdui Museum, and she was going to visit the museum during the holidays, and she said that the cultural relics excavated from the Sanxingdui site were put on display there. ”

"It's not pretty, it's so pretty! There are too many things in it to count, and they are all rare treasures. According to the words of Chen Graduate Student, we are all descendants of the ancient Shu Kingdom, and we can't live with our ancestors if we don't understand the civilization of Sanxingdui. If you want to see it, I want to wait for the autumn to be cool, and take you and your mother to see it, it's too hot to go now, and it's a holiday soon after the museum opens, and there are too many people to visit. ”

"Principal Guo said that he would organize the school's outstanding students to go with him next semester, so I must be one of them. Dad, Principal Guo said that our Sanxingdui civilization is likely to be related to aliens, have you seen such a statement in the museum? ”

"Hey, that's what a hero sees!" Lin Shunhua's tone was very excited, "That graduate student Chen also said the same, he said that without the participation of aliens, it is difficult to imagine that our ancestors could make so many magical bronze artworks three or four thousand years ago, and he also said that Sanxingdui and several other ancient civilizations in the world are all in the mysterious thirty degrees north latitude, which is not an ordinary historical coincidence, but because these ancient civilizations are related to aliens." ”

But why didn't the aliens leave some obvious evidence? For example, leave some text pictures of the alien world. Xiaolan panted and climbed up the hill as if talking to herself.

The father behind her obviously didn't worry about the aliens, and he suddenly changed the subject, "I got another home remedy from an old man two days ago that is useful for your mother's illness, and we have those medicinal herbs in the mountains, and we will go to the Lion Rock area tomorrow to collect medicines." ”
