Chapter 2 Major Events

There are no cars to come to Binhu Village, no boats, and even planes and other means of transportation that we have never seen before, and we can't come here if we want to.

According to my opinion, it is either an endless mountain, a desert with bad weather, or simply a cliff formed of unknown material thousands of meters deep, and a dry lake with countless monsters...... The terrain here is complicated, the climate is harsh, and the legendary planes can't get there.

This is a forgotten place, a place that has been ignored and completely abandoned by the world.

All this was finalized at the end of the legendary civilization era, and there is no way to change it until this time.

According to the elders, during the era of civilization, although we were also mountainous, the mountains were not so big, and the environment was not so treacherous.

And we have roads here, there are also a lot of cars, and occasionally you can see planes flying through the air.

At that time, we were a peaceful and tranquil place, people lived happily, each other was stable and united, and the whole Binhu Village was full of laughter.

Unfortunately, one day thousands of years ago, our stable and peaceful home was attacked, and the original stable life of our ancestors was shattered in an instant, and everything was gone forever.

We don't know who the people who attacked us were, because there is no record, just some legends left by our ancestors.

It was a long time ago, something that my grandfather's grandfather couldn't even remember.

People are trapped in Binhu Village, but they never stop looking for a way out of Binhu Village.

No matter how bad the environment is, no matter how simple the conditions are, it can't stop people from leaving Binhu Village.

After all, human beings are intelligent creatures, and after a long period of deliberation, our people have finally found a very dangerous, but there is a certain possibility of sending our people out.

This method still needs to start from the surrounding environment of Binhu Village, after all, we do not have high-tech transportation here, some are just simple tools and manpower.

Our people thought of leaving from the dry lake east of Binhu Village, and I heard my father say that this was because it was the only place where it was most likely to pass.

The dry lake is very large, and there are many monster-like aquatic creatures in it, which is extremely dangerous.

But relatively speaking, it's safer here.

After hundreds of years of observation, my people finally discovered that every ten years, the dangerous aquatic creatures in the dry lake have a very short dormancy period.

I don't know exactly what this dormancy period will be, but I've heard that at that time it was possible to quietly leave here using a boat.

However, there is also a danger, as there are very small groups of aquatic organisms, even during the dormant period, they will still occasionally come out to move.

If we had encountered them, our current simple wooden boats would not have been their enemies at all.

When my people discovered this low-risk passage, they immediately organized personnel to conduct a test, hoping to take all our people out of this lakeside village and go out to see the outside world.

The tribe made countless attempts, and finally settled on a safe route through the dry lake at some point every ten years.

But at the same time, it was discovered that the number of people who passed each time should never exceed one person.

Because if there are too many people, it is easy to attract the attention of mutated aquatic creatures that do not sleep and attack our ships, causing casualties.

In other words, every time we can leave, the person is just one person.

It is an experience found in blood, and my people regard it as a law, strictly enforced and not allowed to be violated by anyone.

So far, there are less than ten of our people who have actually left here and successfully reached the outside world.

As for the people of the other families, so far, no one has successfully left Binhu Village.

Because they don't know when the dry lake is safe, let alone how to take the safe route.

This is the advantage of our Jin family, and it is also a guarantee for us to become the largest family in Binhu Village.

For hundreds of years, the time when we choose the right person to leave Binhu Village every ten years will be the most lively and interesting period for our family.

I remember my father telling me that the year I was born was the time of the decennial selection of people to go out, and my mother was still huddled in the crowd to watch the excitement, and almost gave birth to me on the way.

Now I'm 10 years old, and it's the decennial date for the selection to leave Binhu Village.

It just so happened that our family had mixed well after going out before, and the only clansman who had been an official had also returned, so our whole family was extremely lively, and it could be said to be the most lively ever.

The "officials" who returned home would naturally be greeted by the patriarch in person and warmly entertained.

The group had already entered the ancestral house before I arrived, and I missed the most lively scene.

The ancestral house is the only house in Binhu Village that has a history of 1,000 years, and is made of red bricks that I don't know where it came from.

The ancestral house is also the ancestral hall of our family, a place to worship ancestors, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter and leave casually.

Although the ancestral house looks very old on the outside, it is still relatively strong, and it has always been used to hold major festivals or welcome distinguished guests.

The identity of the "official" is different, so when he was greeted, the patriarch chose to do it in the sacred place of the ancestral house.

The patriarch's approach is profound, because in this way, we can not only let everyone know our importance and respect for "officials", but also let our ancestors know that our Jin family finally has someone to be an official.

This is a matter of honoring our ancestors, and we have to let our ancestors know about it.

There are hundreds of children like me who are about ten years old in the Jin family, and we are not allowed to enter the ancestral house.

I'm usually a bit naughty, but I sometimes get scared when I face people I've never seen as officials.

This time, I chose to listen to my father, stay outside the ancestral house, and wait for the time when the "official" comes out so that I can take a quiet look.

I just want to see what the "official" looks like, whether he is like us, with a head and hands.

Or, as I imagined, he had several heads and a few hands, like the Monkey King in my only comic book, which can be transformed into various shapes, with three heads and six arms......
