In the picturesque and pleasant fields, four figures are curiously exploring the crops.
However, a sudden burst of noise broke the peaceful atmosphere. They looked from a distance and were surprised to find that there were hundreds of people, all of them men.
Song Yijin was keenly aware that something was wrong. He immediately ran over and stood firmly at the front. Since he didn't know the other party's identity and purpose, and he knew there was nowhere to escape in this place, he decided not to run away and waited for the group of people to approach in order to observe the changes in the situation.
When the two sides were about 500 meters apart, the group of people stopped and gradually divided into three neat queues.
Zhao Xixi bowed nervously and hid behind Song Yijin, lowering her voice and said: "They are from the Qin Dynasty."
When Chen Mingzhi and Jiang Xiaobao heard this, their voices trembled: "Why do people from the Qin Dynasty do this? Appeared here?"
Zhao Xixi explained: "Look at the tops of their heads, their hair is combed into a round bun, and the front is parted in the middle. This is the Qin people. Typical hairstyle characteristics.”
“Yes, some of the terracotta warriors in Xi’an also have such hairstyles.” There was a hint of excitement in his voice, as if he had discovered an amazing coincidence.
"If they are from Qin, why are they here?" This question made everyone fall into deep thought. The sudden appearance of these mysterious figures in this remote place is really puzzling.
At this moment, the group of people was quickly divided into three teams. There were about thirty or forty people in the front group. They did not carry any weapons or tools and looked very calm. The middle group consisted of nine people, most of whom were elderly and two were in their teens. Young men in their teens; the last group had a large number of people, more than two hundred people, and each of them held a variety of rusty swords and wooden sticks in their hands. The three teams maintained a distance of about forty to fifty meters.
Song Yijin stared at the scene in front of him, filled with doubts. He really couldn't figure out why these people acted like this. What was their purpose? What does this strange formation mean?
As time passed by, a tense atmosphere filled the air. Song Yijin decided to observe the situation before making any plans. He prayed secretly in his heart, hoping that these people were not barbarians, but they were not ancient relics either. Zhao Xixi said that they were disguised as Qin people, so it was most likely consistent with his previous analysis.
The people at the front were all hunched over, their heads thrust forward, looking towards Song Yijin. While they were looking around, they were pushing each other, looking left and right, but they didn't dare to take a step forward easily.
Behind these people, there were more people standing. They were just watching and making no other moves, but they kept talking because they were far away.What was being said was completely inaudible.
Song Yijin and the four of them did not dare to take the risk to step forward easily at this time. The two sides were in a stalemate, and no one dared to move first.
Song Yijin quietly said to the other three people: "It seems that they are also very wary of us! If those people behind them rush over and attack us later, then we should run back quickly."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately realized a serious problem - they were now under the cliff with nowhere to escape!
Zhao Xixi obviously thought of this and echoed: "Yeah, where can we run? There are cliffs everywhere here. No matter how we run, we will end up just like a turtle in a urn..."
Perhaps it was because the waiting time was too long. Seeing that there was no movement from Song Yijin, the group of people gradually became restless. In the final line, some people simply sat cross-legged on the ground.
Finally, among the nine people in the middle team, a young man couldn't hold back his temper, exchanged a few words with the elders next to him, and then walked out. The crowd in front made way for him, and the young man walked straight towards Song Yijin.
This young man was dressed in commoner clothes and was 1.8 meters tall. He had a standard square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was very handsome.
When he reached about thirty meters away from Song Yijin, he stopped and stared quietly. His hands drooped naturally, and he was wearing a pair of brown cloth shoes with exquisite auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on the toes. To this young man, Song Il-jin and others seemed to come from another world, with their hairstyles and clothing completely different from what they usually see.
"Look at him standing there so straight and motionless. Is he afraid of us?" Zhao Xixi had been secretly observing the young man in front of her for a long time, and she found that his eyes were particularly clear. , the look on his face doesn’t look like a bad person.
Therefore, Zhao Xixi plucked up a little courage, hid behind Song Yijin, carefully reached forward with her right hand, and waved it gently. Seeing that the young man had no response, Zhao Xixi decided to try again. This time she shouted one word in a friendly and gentle tone: "Hai——"
At this moment, an amazing scene happened. Got it! The young man's facial expression suddenly became shocked, but just a moment later, he also stretched out his arm and waved three times in the direction of Zhao Xixi. Zhao Xixi was a little surprised by this sudden response, but she responded quickly. The two of them started to communicate through a simple way of waving their hands from a distance.
Zhao Xixi only swung a few times, which showed that both parties were able to share the same frequency and had no malicious intentions. In this way, Zhao Xixi became more courageous and stopped hiding.
"He seems quite friendly. Let's try to communicate with him further." Although Zhao Xixi said this,But she still clutched the corners of her clothes nervously, so she secretly cheered herself up in her heart.
Song Yijin felt that it was too risky for her to do so, and she should observe the situation more before making a decision. After all, for a Qin people who came from more than 2,000 years ago, they have always lived in such a closed environment, and everything around them is unknown. Moreover, they are all men. If you are too friendly to them, I am afraid that It will bring great risks.
"Sister, why don't you hide behind us? They don't have women here. Maybe they haven't even seen what a woman looks like. It's really dangerous!" Jiang Xiaobao also revealed With a worried look on his face, as he spoke, he waved tentatively towards the group of young people in front of him, and the young people opposite saw this and waved back to him.
"How about I go over and you stay behind." Song Yijin said. Faced with this unknown danger, he believed that letting a girl come forward was not what a man should do.
"It's okay, just put your heart in your stomach. I'll just take a few steps forward. After all, we girls have our own unique advantages. You guys... If a man rushes directly, he will easily conflict with others."
She took a deep breath and took a step towards the young man. The young man seemed to feel her approach and took a step forward, with kindness and encouragement in his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhao Xixi felt a little more courageous, and she took two more steps. The young man also responded to her steps and took two steps forward. The distance between them gradually shortened and the atmosphere became more friendly.
In this step-by-step exchange, Zhao Xixi felt the sincerity and kindness of the young people, and her courage became stronger and stronger. Her steps became more determined, and a confident smile gradually appeared on her face.
The young man always maintained a gentle attitude and communicated with her with his eyes and smile.
"Hello! My name is Zhao Xixi." Zhao Xixi tried to formally say hello to the young man in front of her in a slow and soft tone.
"Hello, my name is Xu Renshujie, where are you from?" To Zhao Xixi's surprise, this young man could actually speak Chinese. Although the intonation was a bit strange, overall, Still able to understand it relatively easily. After all, according to people's common perception, ancient languages are extremely difficult for modern people to understand, and it becomes even more elusive if the factor of dialect is added.
"We accidentally got here by mistake and fell from above." Zhao Xixi said as she raised her finger to point upward, indicating that they came from the sky.
The young man's expression showed surprise again, and he asked cautiously: "You mean, youDo they come from the earth outside the world, or from heaven? "
"Oh? So you know that there is another world outside? "Zhao Xixi was also quite surprised when she heard this. Originally, she was worried about whether the other party knew the situation in the outside world, but now it seems that she was worried too much.
That's right! Our ancestors once said that a long time ago, , we come from the earth beyond this world. In addition, there is a world in the sky, and the world where we are now is engraved on the wall of our school. History."
The young man's tone gradually became gentle, and his expression became visibly relaxed. He turned his head slightly, looked at Song Yijin and the other three people in front, and then actively waved his hands. From this action, it can be seen that waving seems to be an important way to express friendliness and greetings in this place.
Song Yijin quickly responded, and Jiang Xiaobao and Chen Mingzhi also waved.
"Actually, the three people over there, we are all together. They all like to make friends with you!"
Zhao Xixi spoke while talking. He waved his hands towards Song Yijin and the others, signaling the three of them to come over quickly.
Song Yijin and the others immediately ran over and took the initiative to extend their hands to shake hands with him. At this moment, their hearts were full of surprises - they didn't expect to find a paradise in this place and make new friends! In this way, they no longer have to worry about whether they can leave this place smoothly. I believe there will be a way!
At this moment, people in the distance noticed that the young man was talking cordially and shaking hands with the four outsiders, so they rushed forward to watch out of curiosity.
It turns out that this young man’s identity is extraordinary! This young man named Xu Renshujie is the deacon elder elected by the tribe not long ago!
"I will take you to meet the other eight deacons and elders now. They were all frightened when they saw you suddenly barging in!"
The young man led The four people walked up to the eight deacons and elders. Song Yijin introduced the other three, introduced himself, and briefly talked about how he was rushed here by the flash flood.
After hearing this, one of the elders said, "Flash floods are very regular. Floods only occur four times a year. They rush down from the cliff cave above. You just happened to hit it today, and you still have it." Fortunately, you are not injured. The water source here depends on the water flow four times this year, and there is no other water source." After saying this, the elder took a whistle and blew it, and the more than two hundred people behind him heard it. After that, they dispersed all of a sudden.
The young man took Song Yijin and four others to the place where they lived. They walked along the foot of the cliff. There was a wide stone path at the foot of the cliff. These stone slabs were carved to be extremely smooth and consistent in size, as if they were made by a skilled craftsman. Walking ahead, the stone road branches into several intersections, leading to the fields below. Each branch is paved with stone slabs.Become.
After they continued walking for about two kilometers, the road became wider. At this time, two roads appeared: one went uphill, and the other extended parallel and forward, both of which were also stone roads. The young man led them uphill. After walking for several hundred meters, the cliff began to change and they entered a huge cave.
This cave is quite similar to the caves commonly seen in Sichuan mountains, but its scale is much larger. The strange rocks in the cave are rugged and of different shapes, which is dizzying for the eyes. There are stalactites hanging from the ceiling of the cave, and the ground is covered with strange-shaped rocks, making you feel like you are in a mysterious and fantastic underground world. Everything here seems so strange and novel, and people can't help but marvel at the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.
The floor of the cave is entirely paved with smooth and neat stone slabs. The entire space is about one hectare in size, comparable to a huge football field. When they stepped into the cave, the women and children who had received the news in advance rushed in from all directions and curiously watched this group of uninvited guests.
Song Yijin and his party began to take stock of the environment in the cave. They noticed that around the cave, there were many stone stairs extending to the top. Looking up along these stone stairs, we can see that both sides of the cave are covered with caves of the same size. These caves are obviously carefully dug manually, and the entrances are neat and clean.
At this time, those women and children who had not walked down the cave were standing quietly at the entrance of each cave, watching them silently.
"Is this where you live?" Zhao Xixi asked curiously. She looked around and was shocked by the spectacular sight before her. The interior of this huge cave is spacious and bright, and the walls of the cave are shining with strange lights.
"Yes, this is our village." The young man said with a smile, with pride and satisfaction in his eyes.
He continued: "A cave is a village. It accommodates a total of 500 households and about 1,500 people live here. Each cave is evenly distributed with 500 households. Here There are more than a hundred habitable caves in total!”
After hearing this, Zhao Xixi felt very warm as she imagined so many people living together and supporting each other in this cave. Although it is isolated from the outside world, it has a unique order and harmony.
"Is it crowded with so many people living in a cave?" Zhao Xixi asked curiously.
"Looking at the situation of each family, the area allocated by the Presbyterian House to each family is enough to live in. The Presbyterian House stipulates that those who are over 16 years old can apply for their own house and live independently."
