Preface 02(1/2)
The Central Domain is the most desolate domain of the first celestial rank.
There is a sparse water source here and the terrain is mainly desert. If you want to survive here, you must have deep wells pumped from the underground.
In a desert, there is a sparsely populated village called a deserted village, and there is a well for these people to live in the deserted village.
Most of the people living in deserted villages are middle-aged and elderly people, and there are only four children in the young workforce, three men and one woman.
Originally there were only two men and one woman here, but about a year ago, these three children picked up a boy who fainted in the desert and remembered nothing, named Xiao Si.
...
"Hey!"
"Bang!"
The axe fell and the wood was split in half.
In the deserted village, a young man was chopping firewood with an axe. Next to him was the chopped firewood that was as tall as him.
"Xiao Si!" A white-haired old man walked out of the house behind, "No need to chop, this firewood has been enough for my family for several days."
"It's okay." The boy who called Xiaosi smiled, "Big brother and second brother have gone to the city. I'm idle here, so why not help everyone do some work!"
"Oh, you kid." The old man smiled and shook his head, "Why not have dinner here today, so I would like to thank you for your help!"
"No!" Xiao Si waved his hand quickly, "Xiao Shan said she would cook the rice and wait for me to go back to eat. If she didn't go back, she would be angry."
"Hahaha." The old man smiled and grabbed his beard, "Then you should go back, look up."
"well?"
Xiao Si looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was just above his head.
"Wow!"
Xiao Si showed a panic expression on his face: "Is this time already? You have to go back quickly!"
Xiao Si hurriedly put down his axe and ran towards his home.
"What a lively guy!" the old man said with a smile.
...
Xiao Si ran back to his residence as fast as possible.
"I'm back!" Xiao Si pushed the door and entered.
"well?"
It's so strange. Didn't it be agreed to wait for me to come back for dinner? Why are there no one there?
"Here I'm back..."
A voice suddenly came from behind.
"Yes... I'm back..." Xiao Si slowly turned around and saw a girl with a ponytail looking at him with malicious intentions.
"Ah!" Xiao Si's ear was suddenly grabbed by something, "It hurts, I was wrong..."
The girl was naturally the one who grabbed Xiao Si's ear. The girl said a little angry: "You're almost half an hour late."
"Okay, Xiaoshan, I was wrong, just spare me this time!" Xiao Si begged for mercy.
"Hmph!" The girl snorted coldly and let go of her hand, "Forget it, I know you are going to help the people in the village, so I won't punish you."
"Yes, yes, Xiaoshan is the best."
Xiao Si said with a smile while rubbing his ears.
This girl is Zhou Shan, and the boy is the amnesiac boy they picked up a year ago. Now everyone calls him Xiao Si.
Time flies, almost a year has passed, Xiao Si gets along well with the people here, and his mood is not affected by the fact that he can't remember the past.
"Come on, have a meal!"
Zhou Shan pulled Xiao Si to sit down at the dining table and took away the cloth that should have been placed on it.
"Dang thump!"
Xiaoshan said excitedly: "How is it, is it rich or rich?"
On the table, there were three plates of things, a plate of rice, a plate of wild vegetables, and a plate of mushrooms.
"Isn't it just that there is more mushroom than usual?" Xiao Si said without any regard for it.
"What does it mean to have an extra mushroom!" Zhou Shan said very dissatisfied, "This mushroom is very precious! There are not many people that can be brought back every year. If the elder brother is here, we will definitely not be allowed to eat it."
"Brother doesn't let the food be eaten..." Xiao Si showed a helpless expression, "Is this really good? If the eldest brother comes back and finds out, he will definitely scold us."
"Just scold me!" Zhou Shan looked indifferent, "What can he do to us?"
It’s true that I can’t do anything to them. After all, I have already eaten. Do you want them to spit out all the food they have eaten?
"But... why did you take this for food today?" Xiao Si asked in confusion.
"Hmph..." Zhou Shan showed a proud expression, "Because this day is your birthday!"
"My birthday?" Xiao Si was even more confused. He was an amnesia-lost person and didn't even know his birthday. How could Zhou Shan know?
Seeing Xiao Si's expression, Zhou Shan smiled and explained: "Second brother, have you forgotten? This time last year was the day when you came to the deserted village!"
"This time last year..."
Xiao Si also remembered that at this time last year, he walked alone in the desolate desert. He was hungry and thirsty, and finally fainted in the desert. It was the eldest brother Lin Yi, the second brother Li Er, and Zhou Shan who found himself fainted and took him to the deserted village.
"It's been a year!" Thinking of this, Xiao Si couldn't help but feel very lucky. When he was about to die, he met his elder brother, second brother, Zhou Shan, and came here to meet the people in the deserted village.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Xiao Si in a daze, Zhou Shan shook him.
"Nothing." Xiao Si smiled, "Thank you, Xiao Shan!"
"There is nothing to thank for!" Zhou Shan also smiled, "We are family members, there is really nothing to thank for!"
"Yeah!" Xiao Si nodded, "Come and have a meal!"
"Okay! Let's eat!"
Xiao Si stuffed a piece of mushroom into his mouth.
"How about it?"
Zhou Shan looked at Xiao Si with excitement on her face.
“It’s delicious!”
Xiao Si smiled and said. In fact, no matter how the mushroom tastes, he would say it was delicious because he knew that it was made by Zhou Shan himself, and it contained her intentions.
...
Although Xiao Si felt that he had been living in a deserted village, he had never been as happy as today because this was his first birthday... Well, this was his first birthday after he lost his memory, but he was still very happy!
"Fourth Brother," Zhou Shan asked while eating, "Are you scared because you have lost your memory?"
"Oh?" Xiao Si thought for a while, "Actually nothing! Since I have forgotten it, why do you have to think about it? Thinking about it will only add to your worries."
"But, have you ever thought that before you lose your memory, you have your original life, your original friends, or you still have a very identity?"
"That's just my life before my body's amnesia. After I am amnesia, I am Xiao Si. My life now belongs to my life. The deserted village is my home, and everyone in the deserted village is my family."
"Really?" Zhou Shan asked.
"Of course it's true." Xiao Si nodded seriously, then looked at Zhou Shan strangely, "It's obviously celebrating my birthday, why did you suddenly say this!"
"Because..." Zhou Shan was silent for a while, then raised her head and looked at Xiao Si with courage, and said, "Because I am afraid that when you remember your past memories, you will leave us and forget me."
"Uh..." Xiao Si looked speechless, it turned out that he was worried about this!
"Don't worry!" Xiao Si put his hand on Zhou Shan's head, "No matter where I am, whether I remember my past memories, I will always be your fourth brother."
Xiao Si showed a kind smile.
Looking at Xiao Si's smile, Zhou Shan believed his words from the bottom of her heart. He believed that people with such a smile would not deceive her.
"flutter!"
Zhou Shan threw herself into Xiao Si's arms and said happily: "The Fourth Brother is the best!"
Xiao Si smiled and said, "Second brother is okay, don't let the elder brother hear this, otherwise he will be angry again."
"If you hear it, just hear it!" Zhou Shan puffed up her cheeks and said, "I just like the fourth brother the most. What can he do to me?"
"hehe."
"Play..."
Suddenly there was a slight knock on the door.
"Oh? Brother and the others probably haven't come back so soon!"
Lin Yi and Li Er went to the town to buy things, but they should be back tomorrow.
Xiao Si and Zhou Shan went to open the door together, and saw several elders from the village standing outside the door, each holding something in their hands.
Seeing them, Zhou Shan and Xiao Si looked at each other in confusion, and then asked, "Don't you know what's wrong with all elders?"
