Day 10, Iron Island. Article N5 of the Qin clan rules: All Qin clan people, unless the patriarch has permission, no one has the right to land on this island, if they land on the island, they must abandon all iron weapons on their bodies, and violators will be dealt with strictly.

In the past ten days, this is the most stringent clan rule of the Qin village people, Dr. Mao suspects that this island is where the mystery lies, full of itching, eyebrows, the elder is very helpless, under the premise that Dr. Mao swore to follow the clan rules, he was finally allowed to go, but he still felt inappropriate, and let the thirteenth uncle and the sixteenth baby accompany him, so he was relieved.

Soon, they were almost there. Is Iron Island the same as Gold Island, which is full of iron ore? From a distance, the island is gray and not a little green, which seems very likely.

This time on the island is different from the previous times: the spacecraft stopped at nearly ten zhang away from the iron island, there is no dock on the island, the thirteenth uncle took out two thick and thin ropes, both about ten zhang long, and fixed one end of the two ropes of thickness up and down and fixed on the bow of the ship, the thicker other end of the rope has a wooden claw hook, sixteen babies picked up and wrapped a few times, and suddenly threw it to the iron island, saying that it is strange, there is also a cocked hook on the island, and it was hooked all at once.

Sixteen Wazi was the first to land on the island with another thin rope on his back, and he stepped on the taut thick rope, which obviously meant to walk the "tightrope", Dr. Mao saw it in his eyes and secretly pinched a sweat for him. Fortunately, although the rope trembled and kept going, but the sixteen babies were bold and bold, and walked very easily, at the half-waist, they even deliberately turned back to Dr. Mao and waved to crack their teeth, suddenly, Dr. Mao shouted "not good", only to see the sixteen babies step on the air, and the body fell downward, just when the person was about to cross the rope, the baby actually reached out and hooked the rope, and then held the rope with his left and right hands, and hung over.

A false alarm, Dr. Mao's strange thing is that Uncle Thirteen is not in a hurry, at this time the sixteen babies have fixed the rope on the island, it turns out that one of the two ropes is stepped on, and the other is supported by his hands, Dr. Mao is really a little stage frightened, although this safety factor is many times higher than the sixteen baby's "stepping on the tightrope", but it is still terrifying.

Uncle Thirteen saw it in his eyes, laughed, and he gestured with his palm. Dr. Mao stiffened his head and walked up to try it, and suddenly realized in his heart: there is buoyancy here, it turns out that the sixteenth baby just now deliberately scared him, hey! I'm so old, I'm really lonely.

Not only that, this iron island is very strange, and all metals are eliminated, so it can be basically concluded that this island should have nothing to do with iron, and the island is full of rock-like objects, which are definitely not ordinary stones! Dr. Mao judged by intuition and experience that there was an element on this island that had not yet been found on the earth, an unknown element, and as for what it was, Dr. Mao did not understand.

In the remaining two days, Dr. Mao visited the island of the island where the boys lived before they got married, and the island where the girls lived before they got married. Therefore, the other two islands were named Sun Moon Island, and many houses were built on the island, and when the boys and girls were able to support themselves, they were sent to these two islands, and the island also arranged some capable and learned people to teach them the scriptures, which sounded a bit like the closed schools now.

In short, when boys and girls are successful in their studies, they can get to know each other through competitions, or by participating in clan activities, so that they can get to know each other, enhance their feelings, and then burst into love, get married, and have children.

Maybe it was the wrong time for Dr. Mao to come, and there was no one on the second island at this time: Moon Island was almost deserted, and the colorful flowers blooming on the island could still faintly show the shadow of the happy life of the girls in the past. As for Hijima, it seems to be more deserted than Tsukishima, except for a few wooden houses and some stones used to exercise physical strength.

The yellow flowers go with the sunset, and the withered grass grows on the shore.

Infinite sadness, no show.

On the thirteenth day, Qingong Island. Article n of the Qin family rules: All Qin people have the right and must land on this island on the day of worship.

This Qingong Island is the only outer island that is not subject to age restrictions, and landing on the island is mandatory, and Dr. Mao didn't have the leisure to figure out the reason, but it was strange that this worship day was actually today.

There are a lot of people in Qincun who accompany Dr. Mao today, and they should be out of the nest. All five spaceships are used to carry people, and the busy scene is comparable to the Spring Festival.

As soon as you step on the meadows of the island, you can clearly feel the solemn atmosphere of the surrounding environment. The land on the island is flat, at a glance, the green grass is verdant, the visual surface is extremely open, and in the middle of the island is a high platform of nearly five meters, and people can climb the stairs from the left and right.

There are five boulder statues standing on the high platform, and the one in the middle who has no beard in the hair is a little majestic, and there is no doubt that it should be the Duke of Qin. Looking closely, Qin Gong was holding a heavy sword, smiling, with long sleeves fluttering, and his aura was magnificent, and he was really heroic. The four elderly statues standing next to them all have long beards and faces, and their expressions are radiant, but their postures are different: one holds a book and watches, one looks straight into the distance, one whispers to Qin Gong, and one hooks his hands to meditate.

After the careful introduction of the Great Elder, the four elders were actually famous hermits in the late Qin period: Tang Bing, Duke of Dongyuan, Cui Guang, Duke of Xia Huang, Wu Shi of Qili Ji, and Mr. Zhou Shu of Luli. Dr. Mao also has a little understanding of the four people in history, these four hermits are very famous, later generations called "Shangshan Sihao", hidden in Shangshan (now Danfeng County, Shaanxi Province), how can there be a stone statue here to commemorate it. Dr. Mao fainted again, another difficult mystery to solve.

There are two golden incense burners under the high platform, and at this time the smoke is thick and thick. There are a lot of white flowers next to it, and a drum kit stands on the side in a very unusual way. There are also many wooden couches around the area, and there are fruit pots and food pots and sake pot utensils on the couches. There are a lot of straw mats spread around, which are obviously specially prepared for today, and Dr. Mao expects that today will be different from the past (he doesn't know, in fact, the elder of Qin has notified the whole village to hold a public sacrifice ceremony on Qingong Island on this day, and at the same time, there are important things to announce), but it is already strange.

Looking into the distance, there are several houses built not far from the high platform, and there are some horses tied to the wooden stakes next to them, Dr. Mao is no stranger to horses, when he was young in Inner Mongolia to study and study, he had learned to ride horses, and he was skilled in riding, he did not expect to see this familiar and strange animal here, and he wanted to come to this island is not only a place for Qincun people to worship, but also a place to put horses.

Uncle Thirteen and Dr. Mao are almost the same age, and they have been familiar with each other for a few days, and when they saw Dr. Mao looking at those horses, he said with a smile: "It's still early, Engong is interested in visiting the horses." ”

"But it's disrespectful, just what I want."

Qin Shi is about to arrive (Qin Gong time, equivalent to 12 o'clock at noon), three or three figures in twos and threes invariably crowded towards the high platform, and Dr. Mao has also stopped in front of the horse, and the scene is much more lively.

"Engong, come to the stage with Lao Er." Grand Elder Qin took Dr. Mao's forearm and went up from the steps on the right side of the high platform.

There are two long stone tables in the middle of the high platform, which are full of wine and food, and Dr. Mao is especially sumptuous in front of his seat.

Everyone sat down, the drummer sounded the nine-way drum, and the scene that was still a little mocking suddenly fell silent. Great Elder Qin first poured a full bottle of wine for Dr. Mao with both hands, and then poured it himself as well, and everyone followed suit. After a while, the Great Elder stood up, and saw that he was skinny but energetic, and the slight tremor in his tuning could reach the audience:

"The people of the Qin family, thanks to the mercy of God and the blessing of the Duke of Qin, my generation has been living here for more than 100 years, which lasted for two thousand two hundred and thirty years. There is a sweet spring of thirst, but I am afraid that it will not be enough. Hungry and hungry, but not full. Fortunately, I sigh in this life, I am happy to be born, I am happy not to die, and I have no regrets in death. All these are given by God and given by the Duke of Qin. The blessing of my generation, I dare not forget my roots. ”

"This first glass of wine, thank God!"

"Thank God!"

"This second glass of wine, toast Qin Gong!"

"To the Duke of Qin!"

The Great Elder paused, looked back at the four stone statues and said, "Literacy counts, benefit Tang Gong; Tools and utensils, the beginning of the art of Zhou Gong; The astronomical calendar, the merit is in Cui Gong; Strong and healthy, benefiting Wu Gong. This third glass of wine, to the four elders! ”

"Respect the four elders!"

The Great Elder pursed his lips, and his voice suddenly became extremely heavy: "Since the beginning of my Qin clan, people have always been prosperous, but in recent decades, the incense has not been enough, and the bloodline is difficult to continue, this is the responsibility of my generation, and I am ashamed of the ancestors." ”

The already trembling tone was even more sad in the expression of true feelings, and the people of Qincun below wept, and some even couldn't cry, leaving Dr. Mao Qi Qiran with infinite sadness.

"Flowers bloom and fall, grass is prosperous and grass withered, this is the common sense of the world, there is no need to mind. But I, a member of the Qin clan, have a mission to protect the ten islands, but now I want to be cut off because of the incompetence of my generation, and I really don't want to. Today, our generation follows the ancient precepts, and welcomes Mao Lao Engong to come here to meet here, which is also the blessing of my clan, the dead wood is spring, and the Qin family is expected to succeed, this fourth cup of wine is given to Mao Lao Engong. ”

"Respect for the old man!"

These days, Dr. Mao has a general understanding of why he came here and how he was "lured" into the island: Qin historical records record that the Qin people had a great disaster after more than 2,000 years, and when the time comes, let a capable person in the village send the carved stone bricks out, which will definitely attract the redeemer Mao Gong to the cliff, and then select dozens of strong people to carry out the plan to welcome guests (haha, wait for the rabbit, catch turtles in the urn). After that, Mao Gong could enter the island and rescue the Qin people.

What Dr. Mao didn't know was that the people of Qin Village had been preparing for this millennium plan for nearly a year, and for the smooth progress of this plan, the Qin family had developed the habit of practicing martial arts and fitness for generations, as evidenced by the fact that the six-year-old little Qin Yi was fighting a wolf alone.

The fact that a plan from thousands of years ago is being realized by people thousands of years later is indeed difficult for Dr. Mao to understand. Well, since he is the destined savior of the Qin people, what should he do, listen to him. Dr. Mao stood up with a big mouth, and poured it in, fortunately, the taste of the wine was not strong after entering the throat, but at this time, just thinking about how to comfort the whole village, he didn't have the leisure to taste whether the wine was mellow.

Dr. Mao helped the Great Elder pour a full cup, poured it himself, and then faced everyone, meeting everyone's hot eyes.

"Folks, in the past 12 days since I entered the island, I have felt the simple folk customs of this paradise every day, the big guys are hospitable and sincere, especially the elder Qin, the sixth uncle Qin, and the thirteenth uncle and the sixteenth baby who have been with me,"

Dr. Mao couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the sixteen babies, like the owl that led him to the island.

"By the way, and your birds."

"Hahaha", the audience burst into laughter, in fact, they just saw the doctor talking with a smile, and thought that what he said must be funny, so they just laughed.

"I am deeply touched by what you have done, to be honest, I envy you for such an idyllic life, I used to dream that when I am old, I can quietly fish by the lake, herd horses in the grassland, unrestrained, unrestrained. These days, I feel more and more that I am also a person from Qin Village, and I can feel your happiness and your injuries. This fifth glass of wine, I salute all the fathers and villagers in Qin Village. ”

After speaking, Dr. Mao drank it all, but fortunately, he usually accumulated some alcohol, and his body began to flutter a little under the wine. When everyone had finished drinking, the doctor continued:

"Today, let Duke Qin testify, the four elders are the basis, as long as it is what the people of Qin Village entrusted me with Mao Bowen to do, I will do my best to do it. Whether I can do it or not, I will do it! ”

"Engong is righteous, come, people of the Qin clan, pick up your wine glasses, and salute Engong again!"

The Great Elder burst into tears, of course this wine doctor has to drink, but his head is obviously a little dizzy after this bowl. Next, I remember that the great elder asked Xiao Qin Yi to come to the stage to toast himself, the little guy was very well-behaved, bowed three times and bowed to himself, and his sweet mouth was still hairy Grandpa Mao Grandpa Mao kept screaming. In the end, it seems that the uncles and juniors of Qin Village also take turns to respect each other, and the doctor only sighs that it is difficult but he can't help himself.

This is exactly what it is:

Seeking seclusion and exploring the victory in the Wuling,

Sleepwalking on the ten islands and crossing the sky.

Only the true affection of the Qin people,

A plan through the ages to lead Mao Gong.
