Chapter 102 The outside world (Part )
  Wei Zhiming has known since he was a child that the place where he lives is different from others.

It's called Forgotten Village.

The people in the Forgotten Village came into hiding full of frustration and helplessness. They all wanted to be isolated from the world and not communicate with the outside world.

Because they were all people who had suffered a huge blow in the outside world and were unable to recover. They did not want to have contact with secular people anymore, so they fled here.

Same goes for father and mother.

Wei Zhiming's mother died of a heart attack after giving birth to Wei Zhiming. Wei Zhiming was raised by his father.

My father also has heart problems.

Very serious heart disease.

Because of this heart disease, my father has been living in fear, timid, cowardly, and very much avoiding the outside world.

"The outside world is full of ferocious beasts! They are all people with ulterior motives. If you go out, you will be eaten up and wiped clean immediately, and everything will be lost!"

His father has been intimidating Xiao Wei Zhiming since he was a child.

However, generally speaking, the more you are not allowed to see something, the more you want to see it.

Xiao Wei Zhiming is like this.

Wei Zhiming has always wanted to see the world outside the village since he had his own consciousness.

He secretly tried to run out several times, only to find that the Forgotten Village was surrounded by a forest with strange plants. There were several giant trees growing in the forest. These giant trees could move at any time, like a huge maze, and there were guards outside the maze. , it is said that there is a mechanism monster in the maze, and it is impossible to escape.

Only then did he understand that this place was a completely closed place with no communication with the outside world. No one could get out after entering, and it was almost impossible for outsiders to find a way in.

Like my mother, my father also has heart problems.

And very serious.

Because I suffer from it all year round, I often cannot take care of myself.

Xiao Wei Zhiming understood that it was too difficult for him to go out with his father.

So he wanted to force himself to abandon this idea.

Fortunately, apart from the idea of ​​"wanting to go out", Xiao Wei Zhiming has had his own ambitions since he was a child.

There is a handwritten book in my father's room all year round, which describes the making of various equipment. My father never reads this book himself, and he does not allow others to read it.

But he didn't know that Xiao Wei Zhiming had secretly watched it countless times.

He was deeply attracted by the outside world described in the book, and also developed a strong interest in the manufacturing of various mechanisms and equipment described in the book.

There is very little entertainment life in the village, and laughter and laughter are almost non-existent, except for every year at the end of the year, everyone gathers together for a bonfire party.

At that time, everyone will have a fake, weird-looking smile on their face.

The rest of the time, their lives are monotonous and boring. Almost everyone follows the same pattern of life, living haphazardly and without any goals.

They have nothing they like, no one they like, and live like a zombie, day after day, year after year.

Xiaowei Zhiming is different from most people here.

Perhaps because of reading this book, he has had a strong interest in making things with his hands since he was a child. He always has hammers, ink fountains, chisels, shovels and other tools on hand. He can tinker with it by himself for a long time without going out, and then make something. Weird gadgets.

Sometimes it is a chair, but this chair can automatically raise or lower, so that adults and children can sit on it. It also has wheels at the bottom, which can be used by fathers who have inconvenient legs and feet when they are sick.

Sometimes it is a wooden windmill that can be pulled by animals, which can help my father separate the rice and rice husks during the autumn harvest...

There are countless inventions like this. After his father discovered Xiao Wei Zhiming's talent and interest, he locked himself in the room alone for half a day, and finally came out with determination and solemnly handed the book in his hand to Xiao Wei Zhiming.

It was the book that Xiao Wei Zhiming had already memorized after looking through it.

His father told him not to let other people in the village find out.

Wei Zhiming was only six years old at that time and didn't understand why he had to hide her, but he was very obedient.

Although he has very clear interests and hobbies and has strong hands-on ability, Wei Zhiming has been reticent since he was a child. He likes to be alone and tinker with things, and he never makes friends with others casually.

But even so, he still has his "friends".

The "friend" is named A Niu, who is three years older than Wei Zhiming and likes to come and play with Wei Zhiming. I said I came here to play, but actually I came here to learn how to read with Wei Zhiming.

There is no formal academy here, so all the children born here can only rely on their parents to learn how to read.

A Niu's parents are illiterate, so A Niu comes here every day to learn how to read from Wei Zhiming's father.

My father was very generous. When he was not sick, he would prepare meals for A Niu and Wei Zhiming, and would never drive A Niu away.

A Niu was also Wei Zhiming's only playmate during his childhood.

Wei Zhiming doesn't know what friends are.

A Niu took away the meat from his bowl while his father was not paying attention, telling himself that this was his friend.

A Niu took away the reading and writing tools his father made for him and told himself that this was his friend.

"All the children here are like this." A Niu looked into Wei Zhiming's eyes with a matter-of-fact expression, "We call them friends."

Yes, the children and people here are like this.

A Niu is right.

So, this... is a friend?
  But Wei Zhiming actually doesn't care about these.

All he cares about is his father and the books his father gave him.

So when A Niu saw the gadgets he had made and took them away without giving them back, Wei Zhiming felt extremely uncomfortable.

When A Niu discovered that these things were all learned after Wei Zhiming read the book, he wanted to take the book away from Wei Zhiming.

This time, Wei Zhiming did not agree, and he disagreed very firmly.

Before that, Wei Zhiming was obedient to A Niu and never resisted.

That day was the first time Wei Zhiming resisted. A Niu's reaction was very strong. The two had a big conflict. When A Niu left, he gritted his teeth and glared at Wei Zhiming fiercely. His eyes were red, as if he wanted to Split.

"I remember you! Just wait and see!"

He said, and then left bitterly.

Many years later, Wei Zhiming learned that that look was called hatred.

But until many years passed, Wei Zhiming never understood what he hated.

And many years later, he finally understood that some hatred is without reason.

Wei Zhiming lost his only "friend".

But he didn't feel alone at all.

Because he has his father and his own hobbies to accompany him, his life is very fulfilling.

Unfortunately, the good times are not long.

A Niu told all the children in the village about an interesting book he owned at home, and told them that after reading that book, they would have the ability to create powerful things.

Children swarmed in and rushed to borrow books from Wei Zhiming.

Wei Zhiming kept his father's words in mind and was afraid that the book would be damaged, so he did not lend it to anyone.

From that day on, Wei Zhiming became an alien among the children in the village.

"He is different from us. We don't have to do anything every day and know nothing. He just learns words and reads every day!"

"You can also make some weird stuff!"

"What an alien!"

"What is an alien?"

"Those who are different from us are called aliens!"
