"Dear viewers, I am now relaying the latest news, according to the latest observation of the Observatory, a meteorite weighing about two tons fell into the uninhabited area on the west side of the Kunlun Mountains ten minutes ago, that is, at 8:55, causing an earthquake of about 5.5 magnitude..."

•••••

Yungui deep mountains, Qinjiazhai.

Carrying a mountaineering bag, wearing a heavy raincoat, and holding an extra-long flashlight more than half a meter long in his hand, Qin Bai finally saw Qinjiazhai looming in the distance, shrouded in the entire cloud and mist.

Qinjiazhai is located in the deepest part of the Yunnan-Guizhou Mountains, nearly 200 kilometers away from the nearest county seat, and these 200 kilometers are endless deep mountains and valleys.

And this is Qin Bai's hometown, and it is also the oldest birthplace of the Qin family.

According to legend, the first ancestor of the Qin family came from the Qin State Ying clan, and moved here two thousand years ago to escape the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and after two thousand years, the Qin family never left this place.

Before Qin Bai could get closer, Qin Bai heard a familiar call from a distance, although it was far away, it was clearly audible in the silent mountains.

"Is it Qin Bai?"

As soon as Qin Bai heard this familiar voice, he hurriedly replied loudly: "Dad, it's me!"

Hearing Qin Bai's call, a relieved voice finally came from there.

"You're finally here, and your mother, and your uncle are all worried to death. ”

Stepping on the ancient bluestone slab road that could already be clearly seen, Qin Bai quickly walked to the gate of the village at the foot of the mountain.

As an ancient stone village that has been passed down for nearly two thousand years, Qinjiazhai is not so much a cottage, but rather a fortress, the whole village is built by the mountain, surrounded by water on three sides, only one side of a stone road with a width of more than one zhang winds up the mountain, and the towering stone buildings on both sides.

With the pouring rain, Qin Bai could only see a few dim lights.

This is already very good, I remember that when Qin Bai came to Qinjiazhai for the only time ten years ago, the entire village did not even have electricity.

Qin Bai soon saw his parents in front of the familiar walled gate, as well as a few familiar figures, or a few cousins and cousins who were closer to his own bloodline.

The Qin family has been passed down for nearly two thousand years, and naturally it cannot escape the common problem of some big families, that is, as time goes by, the blood relationship between the same clan becomes more and more distant and weaker.

"Dad, Mom, Uncle, Third Uncle~~~"

Qin Bai is quite familiar with these relatives, because his father entered the city as one of the few in this branch, and in previous years, if the relatives in the village entered the city for something, they were all entertained by their father, and often the father was too busy with work, so he would be accompanied by Qin Bai, the male in the family.

Seeing that Qin Bai was a raincoat and rain boots again, Qin Bai's mother was distressed.

After walking for two and a half days in the rain in the mountains, Qin Bai can now be called a dusty servant, with a haggard face.

Qin Bai ignored his mother's distress, these days, his life is indeed not very good, originally Qinjiazhai out of the mountain has a difficult and dangerous, but can pass the old dirt road of motorcycle tractors, but because of the recent heavy rain, many places on this road were either washed away by mountain floods, or flooded by mudslides, he had to go over the mountains and mountains, from a horse gang ancient road with a history of more than 1,000 years into the mountain.

Not to mention the risks encountered along the way, the suffering alone was something he couldn't think about before entering the mountain.

Fortunately, although most of the roads on this road are barren mountains and mountains, there are not a lot of villages on Yantu, and Qin Bai's father has already made arrangements in the villages on Yantu, so he arrived at Qinjiazhai all the way safely.

"How's Grandma?"

The reason why Qin Bai rushed back to Qinjiazhai, where he had only come back once in his life, regardless of the danger, was because he suddenly received a call from his father three days ago, saying that his grandmother was dying, and he wanted to see him one last time, so he rushed back desperately.

For the grandmother, Qin Bai's impression is actually not deep, not to mention that ten years ago, Qin Bai only stayed in Qinjiazhai for five days, and in these five days, he and this grandmother only saw two sides.

It's not that Qin Bai doesn't want to be close to her, it's that his grandmother's identity in Qinjiazhai is very special, even if it's Qin Bai, it's not easy to see her.

In fact, even if it is his father, in the past ten years, even if he will go back to Qinjiazhai every year, not every time he can see this grandmother.

Grandpa Qin Bai has a total of seven brothers, among which Grandpa Qin Bai is the seventh, almost two rounds younger than the eldest brother.

Moreover, Grandpa Qin Bai left the village at the age of seventeen, and then married a wife and had children outside the mountains to work, and there was not much intersection with this mother.

In addition, Qinjiazhai also has a rule that Qin Bai hates the most, that is, the distinction between the eldest and the youngest is extremely obvious and stubborn, and a person like Qin Bai is completely a marginal person in Qinjiazhai.

This is also the reason why Qin Bai only stayed in Qinjiazhai for five days ten years ago and never came to Qinjiazhai again.

Not to mention, Grandma Qin Bai's special status in Qinjiazhai.

Qin Bai's father's face looked unusually bad at this time, "I haven't eaten water and rice for almost ten days, but she has been waiting for you to come back." ”

As he spoke, Qin Bai's uncle said on the side, "Let's go over first, talk while walking on the road." ”

Only then did the group walk towards Qinjiazhai.

While walking, Qin Bai's father continued: "Your grandmother doesn't know why, more than three days ago, she suddenly kept saying that she wanted to see you, and said that she must see you in person, so I had to call you and ask you to ask for leave to come back." ”

Qin Bai is now a sophomore in the Department of Architecture of Jiangcheng University in the provincial capital, although his studies are not heavy, but it is not easy to take a long vacation, especially because Qinjiazhai is too remote, and there is no way for the college to verify his leave information with Qinjiazhai, so he really wasted a lot of effort to take this long vacation.

"You don't know why?"

Qin Bai is a little strange, it is said that his grandmother has a total of seven sons, except for his grandfather's room, there are relatively few people, and the rest of the rooms can be called extremely prosperous.

Especially according to the rules of Qinjiazhai, the pension is a matter of the big house, and even if the rest of the houses are willing to come together to help, the big house will not be willing.

Qinjiazhai can last for nearly two thousand years, this rule is indispensable, if it were not for this rule, Qinjiazhai would not have existed for so many years.

The third uncle in Qin Bai's mouth is actually not Qin Bai's real uncle, after Qin Bai's grandfather walked out of the mountain, although he married a wife and had children, he could be regarded as putting aside the tradition of the Qin family and only gave birth to Qin Bai's father.

But back then, there was also Qin Bai's sixth brother who went out with Qin Bai's grandfather to beg for a living, that is, Qin Bai's uncle, the father of the third uncle.

But later, in the chaos of war, Qin Bai's sixth grandfather disappeared in his thirties, so Qin Bai's grandfather took on the responsibility of his sixth brother.

Qin Bai has always felt that the reason why his father is alone is because of this, but fortunately, Qin Bai's branch over the years is still close to the one left by the sixth grandfather back then.

But that's all, as far as Qin Bai knows, Qin Bai's grandfather left home at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and he has never returned to Qinjiazhai in his life, and Qin Bai's father has been walking around all these years.

That is, in the last ten or twenty years, after there was a dirt road out of the mountains, Qin Bai's father came back more frequently, otherwise he would only come back once in three or five years.

Originally, Qin Bai didn't feel anything, but after two or three days, he realized that the ancient road of the horse gang out of the mountain was too difficult to walk.

"I don't know. "This time it was Qin Bai's uncle who answered, "The old lady didn't ask for this three or four days ago, but three or four days ago, she suddenly opened her eyes and said that she wanted to see you, let us inform you to come back quickly." ”

Although Qin Bai looked confused, he was still more happy when his grandmother wanted to see him before leaving, after all, this meant that he still had some position in this family.

Otherwise, it would have been a bit worse than it had been ten years ago.
