During the day, the father asked everyone to take care of it, and he himself took his eldest son to pick herbs nearby, including ginger, lily, bamboo root, and Ah Gong fruit.

At night, the father personally helped the soup and lit the fire, boiled and fed the medicine for the savages, and did not let others do it for him, only occasionally letting the eldest son do it.

My father was so spinning that everyone was afraid that he would be tired and sick, but they didn't dare to say it. By the night of the seventh day, the wild man's forehead was no longer hot, the temperature was normal, his eyes were open, and his mouth was purring as if he wanted to talk to everyone, but no one could understand what he was saying, only his father kept nodding his head "uh-huh", as if he could understand, he should also be able to understand, he was the master of the Xiyan family.

In the second half of the night, everyone was extremely sleepy, only the father sat more and more energetic, and the eldest son was barely supportive, and everyone was tired after being busy for so long.

For so long, everyone has not only been busy here, but also busy with the affairs of the family, and the eldest son has to arrange the upcoming spring farm work, which is really exhausting.

At this moment, the father quietly patted the eldest son's arm, the eldest son stood up suddenly, he was in a daze, thinking that he had encountered something, and when he saw that his father was greeting him, he hurriedly smiled apologetically, and slowly squatted down.

At this time, he also saw that the wild man had also woken up, and with the support of his father, he sat on the wooden plank, looking at himself lovingly, just like his grandfather, wife, and old lady when they were alive, they didn't think of their grandchildren for generations, and they were separated forever, but they didn't know which ancestor was in front of them.

When the eldest son saw this, his eyes were sour, and he hummed and cried.

The wild man reached over and rubbed it lightly on his eldest son's head, a smile on the corner of his mouth. It's like seeing the future of the family.

Seeing this scene, my father couldn't help but cry. Life is short, no matter how much the family loves each other, no matter how much the father is kind and filial, and the children and grandchildren are full, the fate is only a few decades!

This is the cruel law of survival in this world.

In contrast, the Xiyan family is lucky, a family of several generations. You can still get together here in this way - although yin and yang are separated and the world is different, you can't talk and communicate, but after all, you can still see each other and help each other.

After crying a few times, the father stopped sobbing, wiped his tears and snot with his sleeve, and said to his eldest son, "This is your old lady, he is going to pass on the family genealogy to you today." ”

Over here. There is another allusion that needs to be explained.

The honorific title given to the elderly by the people of the Xiyan family has a specific title for a family, which is different from the secular and other families.

Calling grandpa's father wife, calling grandpa's grandfather an old lady, and then the upper generations are also referred to as old ladies, and there is no detailed distinction.

In fact, there is no need to distinguish between the deceased ancestors from generation to generation. For future generations, they are all ancestors. They are all images of respect and love, and they are all the unforgettable past of this family, so what does it matter who comes first and who comes next, who is older and who is younger.

What's more, when people reach a certain age, there is no distinction between the old and the young, and the elderly and children can play together. Isn't this just a natural Lenle map, why make it so complicated and utilitarian, for the family, it only means endless warmth and love, and there is no return. Otherwise, it would only be the animal world, not the human world.

When the eldest son heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground on both knees, respectfully kowtowed to the wild man three times, touched the wild man's hands with both hands, and waited for the old man's words.

The father solemnly handed a wooden box to the eldest son, and the eldest son gently opened the lock of the wooden box, only to see a ray of light, wafting out of the wooden box, wisps endlessly.

After the glow of the sun dissipated, the eldest son saw a stack of thick manuscripts of more than a dozen volumes placed in the wooden box, and a few big characters were neatly written on the manuscript - "Western Dialect Spectrum".

This is the legendary Xiyan family genealogy, doesn't it mean that the genealogy was lost in the troubled times, it seems that it is also a blind trick to the outside world, the purpose is to stop the world's coveting of the Xiyan family genealogy.

The eldest son flipped through the family tree and glanced at the contents at random, and the names of his grandfather and wife were also prominently listed, as well as some uncles and uncles who he hadn't seen for many years - the eldest son knew that they were no longer there.

What's more, the family tree records the relocation of the family in detail, from the beginning to the present, this series of experiences are all recorded in detail. At the bottom of the wooden box, there are the camphor leaves that have appeared several times, red, golden, shiny, and scorching.

It seems that my father has long known about the family's life here, so it's no wonder that my father is not in a hurry at all when he encounters major events.

The father seemed to see the eldest son's thoughts, and said with a slight smile, the things recorded in the family tree are all recorded after the fact, and there are no things in the future, and some things are quietly told to me by this wife, through dreams or other means, or I don't know.

The father also said, "From today onwards, you will be in charge of this genealogy, but when I tell you, I will say that the third child is in charge."

Don't worry about it, if there is anything, we will all support you. ”

After the father finished speaking, he gently patted his eldest son on the shoulder, as if he was dealing with an adult of his own generation.

The eldest son kowtowed to the wild man again, and when he looked up, the wild man was gone.

My father said that my wife had gone away and would never see us again.

Looking at the graying sky around him, he knew that it was going to dawn soon.

But in the sky, there was nothing but a faint light of gray-red gray-red.

The deep sky is always unpredictable and uncertain, just like life, fate is never in one's grasp.

He also knew that from now on, he would have more arduous and onerous family responsibilities on his shoulders, not just this big family! The eldest son quickly woke up the others and told them that it was dawn.

When the second son got up and asked his father in a daze where the wild man had gone, the father said lightly and left.

Then, the eldest son beckoned everyone to pack up their things and go home.

As the weather warms up, life gradually becomes normal.

The eldest son was always preparing for the spring root production after the first spring rain, and he also sent dogs and little wolves to the uncle several times to report the news. Let's see what kind of situation they are in and what difficulties they have.

The uncle wrote back and said that everything was fine over there, just like last year, there was enough food, and the livestock were well-behaved.

The eldest son knows. The last year mentioned in the uncle's letter was actually the year before last, because in these two valleys, only my father and myself knew and remembered the man-made disaster last year, and the others had already forgotten it since they came back.

At first, the eldest son didn't know what his father was arranging like this, but later he realized that this was actually what the old lady meant. They don't want their children to live in memories of the past, in fear, in endless disputes in the world, and forget all the bad things, but to look up to the sky, face the future, and live an easy life.

Since he took charge of the score, the eldest son felt that there seemed to be something more in his body, which made him stronger. The will is stronger, and the wisdom is more abundant. A lot of things that I couldn't think of clearly are now suddenly enlightened, and many things that I couldn't do before are now not timid.

A year later, the baby gradually grew up, and one by one except for playing silly all day long. The eldest son, the second son, the third son, and their cousins and cousins took turns to teach them and to read and write.

The babies are also very literate and can learn a lot of things, after all, the memory is good, so the eldest son is very happy. I know that there are successors to the Xiyan family.

This year, just entering the wax moon, it is the time of wind, frost, snow and rain.

The eldest son thought that in the past few years, everyone has basically not gone out to hunt, and there are few activities, so he needs everyone to go out and see, and at the same time, there is a faint worry in his heart, people from another world in this valley, maybe two people need to have a direct dialogue, what should come is always coming, hiding is not hidden, and there is no escape.

After arranging the affairs of the family, the eldest son set off with the team.

This time, they're going to explore the world buried deep beneath the iron bump to see what it is.

After more than half a month of preparation, everyone set off.

There were 12 people on this trip: the eldest uncle, the cousin of the eldest uncle's family, the second uncle, the cousin of the uncle's family, the father, the eldest son, the cousin and his two sons, and the cousins of the Manmei and the aunt's family.

He was accompanied by twelve dogs and twelve wolves, and two wheeled carts, all of which were loaded on the carts, with a few on their backs.

This time, they passed through the hole without any problems.

However, when we reached the end of the cave, it was indeed a wall of copper and iron!

Hit with the back of the axe, it makes a crunch sound characteristic of metal.

The eldest son knew that there was a problem, and hurriedly urged the group to go back.

It was basically a trot along the way, and it only took about a day to get from the other end of the cave back to the entrance of the cave.

Fortunately, there were no accidents at the entrance of the cave here, and it was still the same as when I entered the cave.

The eldest son thought that this cave might not be used again in the future, so he simply stayed at the entrance of the cave for a day, and completely blocked the entrance of the cave with a stone, and then arranged the next step.

By this time, the stream that had flowed down from the entrance of the new castle had completely frozen, but there was only a slight flow of water in the depths of the ice, which crashed into the icy world with a rumbling sound, and rushed all the way downward, echoing in the valley for a long time.

The eldest son knew that the current was already very small at this time, and if the water under the ice was brought to the ground, it would soon freeze, and the ice at this time was the most stable and safe.

When they went down the stream to the edge of the waterfall, the eldest son made a bold decision, and they climbed the branches on the cliff face next to the waterfall, and went down to the middle of the waterfall, and maybe they made an amazing discovery.

Since the iron pimple had blocked their way to the left, and the road to the right had already been explored, the only way out, or secret, was to exist under the volley waterfall.

When he first went out, the eldest son didn't expect that the other end of the hole would be blocked, so he didn't prepare a long enough cow cable vine as a rope.

In this way, they have to go down the waterfall, and the first problem is to solve the rope problem first.

The eldest son decided to stay at the mouth of the waterfall for two days, and sent a group of people to look for cow ropes and vines nearby, and a group of people to build houses and cook on the spot, while he and his father turned left and right around the waterfall, looking for a more convenient place to go down, because there was nothing else around except for the bare stone walls and the shining ice falls, unless so many people were turned into birds with mana.

There are also some trees on both sides of the waterfall, and the farther away from the waterfall becomes, the more gentle the slope, and from where they can slowly descend to the bottom of the waterfall, but they are too far away from the waterfall and may miss something.

When he turned to the next day around the waterfall and the frozen stream, looking at the frozen stream but there was still a rumbling stream below, he suddenly had a hunch, since there was still water under the ice, could the entrance of the iron tree pimple be just behind the waterfall?

When he told his father about this idea, he also felt that it was possible.

But how can you go behind the waterfall? it is impossible to see it unless you smash all the icicles on the waterfall, and if you go down from the woods next to it, you will not be able to find the entrance.

But the eldest son smiled and said, "Daddy, wouldn't it be much easier if we diverted the water from this ice to another place, and people entered through this hole in the flowing water?" ”

The father couldn't help but be overjoyed, and happily praised his eldest son: "Hey, my big hairy cub really has some ability." ”

The eldest son was embarrassed.

After the people who went out to find the cow cable vine came back, everyone discussed it, and they also felt that this was an excellent way, not only to save time and safety, but also to work the least work, the most important thing is that you can clearly find the entrance to the iron tree pimple from here, the only thing that is missing is that the hole in the flowing water is too small, and you may only be able to enter one person at a time.

However, this problem was easily solved after everyone pried open the ice.

It turned out that although the water under the ice was not large, only the current of water the size of a footstick, the ice cave that came out of the impact was the size of four or five baskets, enough for two people to go down at the same time, so that they could take care of each other.

It's even easier to reroute the ice water.

They dug up a section of ice until it was exposed, found the ice water inside, and then blocked the icy water path with mud and led it to a distant slope next to the thatched hut, from where it flowed down.

Considering that the ice water is likely to form an ice road and freeze from here, we built nearly a person-high mud wall on both sides of the waterway in advance, so as to form an ice water reservoir. (To be continued.) )
