Chapter 2

There is no way for cars or ships to come to Binhu village. Even transportation vehicles such as planes we have never seen have never been in the future, and we can't come to think of it.

In my opinion, it is either an endless mountain, a desert with bad weather, or a cliff formed by unknown materials thousands of meters deep, and a dry lake with countless monsters... The terrain here is complex and the weather is bad, and the legendary aircraft can't come here.

This is a forgotten place, a place neglected and completely abandoned by the world.

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

According to the elders, although we were also mountainous in the civilized era, the mountains were not so big and the environment was not so dangerous.

Moreover, we have roads and many cars here. Occasionally, we can see planes flying from the air.

At that time, there was peace and tranquility here. People lived happily and were stable and united with each other. The whole Lakeside Village was full of laughter.

Unfortunately, one day thousands of years ago, our stable and peaceful home was attacked, the original stable life of our ancestors was suddenly broken, and everything was gone.

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

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

People were trapped in the Lakeside Village, but they never stopped looking for ways to leave the Lakeside Village.

No matter how bad the environment and poor the conditions are, people's desire to leave Binhu village cannot be stopped.

After all, human beings are intelligent creatures. After a long time of deliberation, our people finally found a very dangerous way to send our people out.

This method still needs to start with the environment around Binhu village. After all, we don't have high-tech transportation here, but only simple tools and manpower.

Our clansmen thought of leaving here from the dry lake in the east of Binhu village. I heard from my father that it was only here that was most likely to pass.

The dry lake has a large area, and there are many aquatic creatures like monsters in it, which is very dangerous.

But relatively speaking, it's safer here.

Through hundreds of years of observation, my people finally found that every ten years, those dangerous aquatic organisms in the dry lake have a very short dormancy period.

I don't know what the dormancy period is, but I heard that ships can be used to leave here quietly at that time.

However, the danger also exists, because a very small number of aquatic organisms will come out occasionally even during dormancy.

If we encounter them, these simple wooden boats we have now are not their enemies at all.

My people found this less dangerous channel and immediately organized personnel to test it. They wanted to take all our people away from the Lakeside Village and go out to see the outside world.

After countless attempts, the people finally determined a safe route to leave here quietly through the dry lake at a certain time every ten years.

But at the same time, we found a fact that the number of people passing each time must not exceed one person.

Because if there are a large number of people, it is easy to attract the attention of those non dormant mutant aquatic organisms, so as to attack our ships and cause casualties.

In other words, every time we can leave, only one person.

This is the experience found with blood. My people regard it as a general existence of the law and strictly enforce it. No one is allowed to violate it.

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

As for the people of 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 Kim family and a guarantee for us to become the largest family in Binhu village.

For hundreds of years, choosing the right person to leave Binhu village every ten years will be the most lively and interesting period of our family.

I remember my father told me that the year I was just born was the time to choose a candidate for going out once a decade. My mother was still crowded in the crowd with me, and I was almost born on the road.

Now I am ten years old, which is the date when the once-in-a-decade selectors leave Binhu village.

It happened that our family had a good time after going out, and the only one who became an official came back, so our whole family was very lively, which can be said to be the most lively time in history.

The "officials" returning home will naturally be greeted by the patriarch in person and warmly entertained.

They had entered the ancestral house before I arrived. I missed the most lively scene.

Ancestral house is the only house in Binhu village with a history of thousands of years. It is built with red bricks from nowhere.

The ancestral house is also the ancestral hall of our family and the place where ancestors are worshipped. Ordinary people can't go in and out at will.

Although the ancestral house looks very old, it is still solid. It has always been used to hold major festivals or welcome distinguished guests.

The identity of "official" was different, so when welcoming him, the patriarch chose to carry out in the sacred place of ancestral house.

The practice of the patriarch is profound, because in this way, we can not only let all people know our importance and respect for "officials", but also let our ancestors know that there are finally some officials in the Jin family.

This is a matter of honoring our ancestors. We have to let our ancestors know.

There are hundreds of children around the age of ten like me among the Kim family. We are not allowed to enter the ancestral house.

I'm usually quite naughty, but I'm afraid of people I've never seen as an official.

This time I chose to listen to my father, stay outside the ancestral house and wait for the "officials" to come out. I can have a quiet look.

I just want to see what "officials" look like. Do they have a head and hands like us.

Or, as I imagined, he has several heads and hands, just like the monkey king in my only comic book, which can be changed into various shapes, three heads and six arms
