Chapter 1: The Weird Small Mountain Village

() Many people live in memories and are afraid to move forward.Life is always moving forward, the best thing time brings us is to delete those who are not worth it, and keep those who cherish you.

Memories are not important, what matters is what memories leave you?

The majestic China, raise my Chinese prestige...

The Republic of China covers an area of ​​960 million square kilometers.In the whole world, light ranks third in terms of territory.If it is evaluated by military strength, it may be ranked after No.5.This is also the result of the efforts of successive leaders of the Republic of China since the reform and opening up.

However, in the past ten years, corruption and bureaucracy have once again prevailed in the land of China, making this ancient civilization that has withstood 5000 years of wind and rain once again precarious and tottering in the waves of the world...

Shaanxi Province, located in the northwest of the Republic of China, was called the Central Plains area in ancient times. There has always been a saying among military strategists that those who win the Central Plains win the world, and Xi'an City is the capital of Shaanxi Province.

In fact, in the minds of Shaanxi people, their holy place is Xianyang City, which is across the Wei River from Xi'an City.Because more than 2000 years ago, the first ancient empire on the land of China that truly unified the Chinese clan, the Great Qin Empire, had its capital there.

The domineering and talented Qin Shihuang wrote an immortal legend for the Chinese nation.There are also countless legends left on the land of Xianyang.

Thirteen kilometers away from Xianyang City is an ancient town called Yaodian Town, which is the former site of the Xianyang Palace of the Great Qin Empire.

In the Qin Dynasty, this place was once one of the most prosperous cities in the world. In this ancient and magical land, major historical events such as Shang Yang's reform, Jing Ke's assassination of Qin Dynasty, burning of books and confucianism, and the unification of the six kingdoms were staged.

About five miles away from Yaodian Town, there is a small mountain village called Baijia Village. The small mountain village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is a small basin covering an area of ​​about [-] mu in the middle.Baijia Village is located in this small basin, with only a few dozens of families.According to the ancient saying, it is a Jedi, and it is also a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

People who have been to Baijia Village say that Baijia Village is a bit weird, because standing at the entrance of the village and looking into the village is always hazy and unrecognizable, as if the small mountain village has been hidden in the mist for many years, and you can only see it when you get close. Some clues.

The out-of-town peddler who once had a good job climbed up the high mountain behind Baijia Village to look down, but his sight was blocked by fog in the middle of the mountain.So until now, no one can say one, two, three about the layout and appearance of this Baijia Village!

In fact, this Baijia Village is not closed, and it is not taboo for foreigners to come and play. Generally speaking, it is very hospitable.

But the strange thing is that the houses in Baijia Village are all ancient buildings piled with stones. It seems that they all have the same type of architectural style, as if every household looks the same.

If outsiders go in for a visit, if there is no person in the village as a tour guide, they will really lose their way for a while and can't turn around. Even if you bring a compass, it will be useless, so until now, the whole picture of Baijia Village is still unknown. Known to outsiders.

It is said that this Baijia Village is actually a descendant of Baiqi, the Wuan Lord of the Great Qin Empire more than 2000 years ago. No one can explain whether this is the case. In short, this mysterious small mountain village is full of weirdness.A thousand-year-old mountain village, a thousand-year-old fan...

There are a total of 49 households in Baijia Village, and each household is engaged in only one occupation, that is: locksmith!When the children of Baijia Village grow up to ten years old, besides studying, they have to learn the skill of unlocking and repairing locks from the elders in the family.

Until you are successful in your studies, then you will be released to fly solo and travel across the country to make a living.Of course, there is only one occupation: locksmith!

This year's summer is particularly hot, and people sitting there still will sweat profusely.Only the cicada on the tree kept barking as if it didn't know the heat and tiredness.

In the shade of an old locust tree near the east end of the town in Yaodian Town, there is a signboard that reads: Unlock the lock, fix the lock.A young man about twenty years old was sitting under the signboard. In front of the young man was a dusty wooden box, on which were some necessary tools for a locksmith.

An old man stood next to the young man, looking at the young man's long white fingers without saying a word, he inserted a steel needle into the keyhole and fiddled with it a few times in a daze, and with a "pop", the lock opened.

Then the young man casually picked up the rough embryo of a key beside him, and without any comparison, he used a delicate small file to file it back and forth a few times.Then I put it on the side of my mouth and blew it, polished it with a piece of sandpaper for a while, then passed it to the old man who was watching attentively, and said with a smile:

"Uncle Wang, it's ready. It's three yuan in total, one yuan for unlocking the lock, and two yuan for matching the key. Originally, you don't have to charge for the key, but the key blank still costs money, haha!"

The old man took the key, held it in front of his eyes and looked at it, with a smile all over his face, he took out the money and said:

"Xiaobai, your craftsmanship is getting better and better! It only took 2 minutes to open the lock and match the key, alas! I'm afraid it's three points faster than your father."

Hearing what the old man said, the young man's face darkened, and he bit his lips silently. When the old man saw it, he quickly covered his mouth with his hands and blamed himself:

"Bah, bah, old people have poor memory. Look at my crow's mouth. Let's not talk about it. Your father must be very lucky. It's okay. Maybe he will come back in a few years?"

The young man silently accepted the five-yuan note from the old man, and after returning the two one-yuan coins, he stopped talking. The old man looked at it, sighed, and turned around to walk into the town.

The young man's surname is Bai, and his name is Baichi, which is the family name of Baijia Village.19 years old this year, looks like a very ordinary young man. He has short short hair, rosy and healthy skin, and the honesty of rural people everywhere. The only thing that catches the eye is his eyes, which are bottomless, and look like stars in the night. Generally bright, people can't help but want to take a closer look.

The old man who was gone couldn't help but look back at the young man, and murmured:

"I'm also a poor child. I lost my parents at the age of 13, and had to go out to earn a living in order to support my young sister. Hey! I can only help you so much, old man. My locks almost have a box... ...!"

Bai Chi seemed to hear the old man's whispers from afar, and looked at the old man's back gratefully.Then he sat there silently, like a statue, gradually blending into the surrounding environment, and even the cicada's cry seemed to gradually weaken.If it wasn't for a gust of wind blowing the corner of Bai Chi's clothes, those who didn't know it would have thought it was a human statue.

In an ancient town, there is an old locust tree that is too old, and a young locksmith sitting there quietly under the locust tree. There is no one on the stone road in the town. People can't help feeling a sudden chill in their hearts, as if everyone in the town has disappeared at this moment...
