A deserted village, a small village in the central region, is located in a desolate desert. It has a small population and almost no outsiders will come a year, except for a few passers-by from time to time.

There are only four young people in the deserted village, Lin Yi, Li Er, Zhou Shan, and Xiao Si.

Lin Yi and Li Er were responsible for leaving the desert and walking through the desert to search for food in a nearby town, and taking it back to the desert, while Zhou Shan and Xiao Si stayed in the village to help the villagers work.

Xiao Si got up early as usual... It has been a while since he came to this village. Although he can't remember his past memories, Xiao Si thinks his life is good now.

Xiao Si is also a Xuanta practitioner now. Although it is just an ordinary tower map, Xiao Si is also practicing very hard, and now he has a fifth-level practice.

"Play..."

Xiao Si came to a dilapidated house and knocked on the door gently.

This house was not inhabited some time ago, but some time ago, Xiao Si saw a bearded man with several wounds on the wasteland near the deserted village... Uncle? Then Xiao Si took him back to the deserted village. Xiao Si now has a certain level of cultivation, so it is not difficult to lift an adult who cannot move.

Xiao Si brought the uncle back to the deserted village. After he treated him with the only resources, the uncle actually woke up.

After waking up, he said thank you and walked out to see the surrounding environment.

"This place is called a deserted village, a small village..." Xiao Si wanted to introduce something, so the uncle walked to the empty house for a long time.

“Do you live here?”

Xiao Si was stunned and said, "No one has lived in this house..."

"Then I'll live here after that." Before Xiao Si finished speaking, the uncle pushed the door and entered.

Seeing this, Xiao Si hurriedly followed...

"Cough cough cough..." The house was useless for a long time, and it was covered in dust. It made Xiao Si feel very uncomfortable, but the uncle had nothing to do.

"Why do I go and ask a few people to come and help clean it?" Xiao Si asked.

The uncle shook his head lightly: "No, I'm fine myself, how can I deal with people?"

"That's how..."

"You can call me Lao Tie."

"well?"

"I am a blacksmith. If you have anything to help with in this regard, you can come to me at any time."

In this way, Lao Tie lived in this house. Although Lao Tie lived here, he didn't have much contact with the people living here. Only the four young people, Xiao Si and the others, could say a few words to him.

Lao Tie is indeed very good at scheming irons. Xiao Si’s axe was broken before, so he told Lao Tie that the next day he gave Xiao Si a new, very sharp axe, and the material was something Xiao Si had never seen before.

Xiao Si didn't ask, after all, Lao Tie might not tell him if he asked, it would be useful.

Later, when other people in the village had any needs in iron tools, Xiao Si would ask Lao Tie for help on their behalf.

Lao Tie did not refuse these requests. The next day he would give Xiao Si a brand new iron tool with unknown materials and good quality.

That day, Xiao Si came to help the old man next door get a little hammer.

"Old Tie, it's me..."

No one responded in the house.

"Old Tie... Then I'll come in."

It’s not a day or two that no one responds to the house. Every time no one comes in, Xiao Si will see a brand new iron tool on the table, and Lao Tie sleeps in the room inside.

"Click..."

Xiao Si pushed the door gently and walked in. He walked carefully to the table, and strangely, the new iron tools were not placed here as usual on the table.

Xiao Si walked into the room inside again, and Lao Tie was not there.

"Where did you go?" Xiao Si was puzzled. He had never seen Lao Tie leave the house. Even if he had eaten, Xiao Si came to give him the food.

"call!"

Xiao Si suddenly felt like a gust of wind blew across the back... Why did the wind suddenly blew in this house?

Xiao Si hurriedly turned around. At some point, Lao Tie seemed to suddenly appear in the road of this house, and he was holding a new little hammer.

"Old Tie..." Xiao Si opened his mouth in surprise. He was also practicing, knowing that when his cultivation level was very high, he could come and go like the wind... just like Lao Tie just did.

But Lu Shuangyang always thought that Lao Tie was just an ordinary blacksmith, but he didn't expect to be a hidden master.

"It's you..." Lao Tie said lightly, throwing the hammer in his hand over, "What you want."

"Oh!" Xiao Si took the hammer... Although he tried to calm his expression, he still couldn't hide his excitement.

"Old Tie, are you a Xuanta practitioner? Or a master?" Xiao Si asked.

"Don't say it out." He did not answer Xiao Si's question, but he admitted that he said so.

"Awesome!" Xiao Si looked admiring and said seriously, "Don't worry, I will never say it."

Lao Tie nodded lightly, walked to his bed and fell asleep.

"Old Tie..."

"Hop!"

Xiao Si wanted to say something, but a huge snoring sound came... Lao Tie fell asleep like that.

"No! I'm asleep now?" Xiao Si was so shocked that he couldn't speak. No matter how tired he was, he wouldn't fall asleep!

And judging from Lao Tie’s appearance, how can a master look like?

"Oh!" Xiao Si sighed helplessly. Although Xiao Si really wanted to know about Lao Tie, Xiao Si felt that even if he asked, Lao Tie would not tell him... After thinking about it, Xiao Si still left with the hammer.

As soon as Xiao Si closed the door, Lao Tie opened his eyes and sat up.

Lao Tie turned around and looked at the direction where Xiao Si left: "This kind of ordinary life is good, but how long can it last?"

...

"Little Si, look!"

When I got home, I saw that my eldest brother Lin Yi and my second brother Li Er had already returned.

"What's wrong?"

"this!"

Lin Yi handed Xiao Si a piece of paper... Although Xiao Si was amnesia, he was still literate.

"Recruiting Xuanta practitioners to explore together. You need to register for five kilograms of grain at level 1 or above."

"So what?" Xiao Si said lightly.

"What's so! Five kilograms of grain! Five kilograms of grain! It's enough for the people in the village to eat for several days!" Lin Yi said excitedly.

"You mean I'm going."

Although Lin Yi and Li Er are also practitioners of Xuanta, and they are the same tower as Xiao Si, Xiao Si also showed them the tower map given by the villagers before. But they were busy and had just reached the first level not long after their strength reached the first level, and they could not meet the requirements of the first level and level five.

"Of course, who will you go?"

"This is not very good!" Zhou Shan took the paper over, "I said that I went to an adventure. Although the conditions are good, will it be dangerous?"

The first thing Zhou Shan thought about was not how good it would be to have these conditions, but to think about potential dangers.

"Yes!" Li Er, who was standing aside, also echoed, "They did not explain where they were going, they just said they were going to explore. We didn't know the details. Is it too reckless to just let Xiao Si go? After all, they are willing to spend such a big price."

"What's wrong!" Lin Yiyi said righteously, and he looked at Li Er, "Didn't you see it at that time? There were a lot of people there signing up, and the food was still collected."

"That's the case, but I still feel it's inappropriate..."

"Ahhhhh!" Lin Yi interrupted Li Er and turned to look at Xiao Si, "After all, it is you who meets the requirements. You decide whether to go by yourself."

"Um……"

Xiao Si fell into silence. Indeed, five kilograms of food were enough for the people in the village to eat for several days, but he also said it was an adventure. If he went there, he might be in danger.

"Fourth brother, don't..." Zhou Shan said, he didn't want Xiao Si to encounter any danger.

"Go! Think about it, five kilograms of food!" Lin Yi was tempting.

Li Er watched silently, and he was helpless. To be honest, he wanted to go there too. For the sake of the five kilograms of food, he just wanted to go there by himself, but he just couldn't meet the requirements.

"Well... OK! I'll try it!" Xiao Si said with a smile.

"Fourth brother! Well... it's true!"

"Great! Xiao Si, I knew you would agree!"

"well……"

The reason why Xiao Si agreed was not just for the five kilograms of food, but also because he could go outside to take a look.

After he woke up, he stayed in this deserted village and never left. Although he was very satisfied with his current life, he was also very curious about what the outside world was like.

"Brother, fourth brother, are all fools!" Zhou Shan stomped her feet in anger and ran out of the house.

"Oh? Why am I a fool?" Lin Yi was speechless.

"I'll go and have a look!" Xiao Si hurriedly followed.

...

Xiao Si came to a small hill near the deserted village. As he expected, Zhou Shan was here... It was like this every time, Zhou Shan would come here when she was unhappy.

"Xiao Shan..." Xiao Si walked behind Zhou Shan silently.

"Second brother, do you know? I've always been scared..." Zhou Shan said to the wilderness in front of him.

"Scared?" Xiao Si was puzzled.

"Because Fourth Brother, the reason why you stayed in the deserted village is because you don't remember what happened before. I'm very scared. If one day you remember what happened before, you will leave me and ignore me again. If you go out, will you remember..."

"Are you a fool?" Xiao Si walked to Zhou Shan with a smile and put her shoulder. "No matter who I was before, will I remember what happened before, but everything I have here with you cannot change from my personal experience. I will always be your fourth brother, and this will not change."

Zhou Shan turned her head and looked at Xiao Si with tears in her eyes.

Xiao Si smiled and said, "Don't worry! I won't have any trouble!"

"Bang!"
