Along the stream, he walked slowly towards the village. The pebbles in the stream were clearly visible in the clear stream. Lin Ye simply squatted down, scooped up a handful of water with his hands, and put it on his face, feeling the water.
The warmth and coolness washed away the tiredness of the past few days. He scooped up another handful of water, put his mouth close to his hand, and drank in large gulps.
"Tsk tsk, it tastes sweet!"
Lin Ye muttered to himself, turned around and stood up, and saw a little girl washing vegetables by the stream on the other side of the stream. Judging from her appearance, she was only about eight or nine years old. It was so safe to let a child of only nine years old come to the stream.
What should I do if I slip and fall into the water? If this happened in reality, which parent would let their children go to the water with confidence.
But then I thought again, this is a game after all, and looking at the buildings in the village in front, I can tell what era this is.
"Hey! Little sister, you are washing vegetables."
The little girl didn't notice Lin Ye at first. Now Lin Ye's attire has long changed from that of a rich man from the upper level back to the armor before. Seeing Lin Ye in this outfit, the little girl was slightly startled at first, and then
There was a feeling of fear in her heart, but she did not dare not to speak, fearing that this stranger would hurt her, so she bit her lip and timidly responded: "Well..."
The stream was not too wide. There was only a gap of four or five meters in the middle. With Lin Ye's ability, he could jump over it in one go. But he didn't. He squatted down again, level with the little girl, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid.
, I’m not a bad person.”
Lin Ye actually gave people a very kind impression, but the equipment and the strong dark aura in his body would inevitably make people fearful. However, seeing Lin Ye's friendly look, the little girl
Gradually, he let go of the fear in his heart and continued to wash the dishes with his head down.
"My father said that you should not talk to strangers when you meet them, because they are probably bad people who deceive children. But I don't think you are a bad person, brother."
"Oh?" When Lin Ye heard this, he immediately became interested and his smile became even stronger. Looking at the little girl, Lin Ye asked: "How can I make you think that you are not a bad person?"
When Lin Ye asked this question, the little girl's tender face suddenly turned red, and she said awkwardly: "That's how I feel. Brother, I've washed the dishes and I'm leaving!"
After saying that, the little girl stood up, carrying the vegetable basket, and was about to return to the village. When Lin Ye saw this, he immediately stopped her and asked, "Wait a minute, little sister, what is the name of the village ahead?"
The little girl stopped and replied with a smile: "In front is Tongyao Village, and the mountain behind is called Tongyao Mountain." Following the little girl's words, Lin Ye noticed the mountain behind him.
Lin Ye walked along the stream and had no idea that there were mountains behind him. It was a miracle that he didn't notice such a huge mountain range behind him.
In Tongyao Village, Lin Ye murmured in a low voice, and once again stopped the little girl who ran not far away, and said: "Little sister, take me to your village for a walk?"
When the little girl heard this, she stopped, then her dark eyes rolled around, as if she was thinking about something, as if she was making a decision, and suddenly she said: "Okay, but brother can't run around, the village
It’s not safe here lately.”
"Oh?" Lin Ye murmured in his heart. What on earth could make this little girl feel unsafe in the village? After thinking about it, Lin Ye jumped directly from the other side of the stream and jumped to the other side. When he saw Lin Ye
Ye jumped four to five meters away. The little girl's eyes were shining with light. She looked at Lin Ye with a look of admiration on her face.
On the way, the little girl suddenly said: "My brother is so powerful, my sister will be very happy when she sees him coming!"
Lin Ye was following the little girl into the village, but unexpectedly heard such words from the little girl's mouth, and asked: "Why, do you still have a sister?"
"Yeah, yes, but my sister hasn't gone out for several years." Having said this, the little girl couldn't help but feel disappointed. Children are like this, whatever is on their mind will appear on their faces.
"You haven't been out for several years? Why is that?"
Confused, Lin Ye didn't think twice and asked. As a result, the little girl just bit her lip and didn't speak. Lin Ye knew that she didn't want to say anything, so he didn't ask any more questions.
On the way, Lin Ye learned that the girl's name was Xin Lan. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Lin Ye followed Xin Lan into the village.
There are no guards on duty at the entrance of Tongyao Village. Unlike other human villages in the outside world, which have strict guards. This makes Lin Ye think that the village here is very safe and there are no security risks. However, this is different from Xinlan
As mentioned before, the village is not safe, and there seems to be conflict again.
Entering the village, many people in the village cast curious glances. It seems that the people in the village like to be active in the outside world. It is not a village where people cannot leave their homes. It does not seem unsafe here, but Xinlan walks all the way.
She didn't speak, but lowered her head. She seemed to be completely blind to these folks in the village.
Seeing such a situation, Lin Ye was a little surprised. He looked around and saw these people pointing at Xin Lan with their hands, as if they were discussing something. Gradually, Lin Ye turned his attention back to walking side by side.
On Xiao Xinlan's face, she could see that she was trying her best to hold her mouth open, and her eyes were shining slightly, as if she was enduring great grievances.
What was going on? Lin Ye's doubts became more and more intense, so he raised his attention and concentrated on listening to the discussions of the people around him.
"What a good child. I didn't expect my sister to be a monster. I'm afraid this child is also a monster."
"Oh...does this need to be said? My sister is a monster, can she still be a human being?"
What? Lin Ye was secretly frightened, and gradually understood what Xin Lan was referring to when he said that the village was unsafe. He also understood why Xin Lan said before that his sister had not gone out for several years.
Monster, what on earth is going on? The Xinlan in front of me is obviously a human little girl, how could she be a monster? I can't feel any strange aura from her body at all.
Wait! No! Lin Ye tried to feel it again. There was indeed a different kind of breath in Xinlan's body, but this breath didn't seem to be coming from Xinlan, but rather like it was contaminated.
. Could it be said that her sister is really a monster?
The mood was very complicated along the way, but Lin Ye did not speak. He waited for Xin Lan to take him to their house so that he could see what the sister who was said to be a monster looked like and what happened to her.
What's up.
After walking along the path for a few days, Lin Ye found several dilapidated cabins in the most remote corners of the village. There was a fence in front of the houses. Seeing her home, Xin Lan excitedly took Lin Ye's hand and said briskly
He ran towards his home. Lin Ye also speeded up a little and followed.
Not far away, Lin Ye found a middle-aged man sitting in the yard, fiddling with something. As he approached, the middle-aged man discovered Lin Ye. Before entering the village, Lin Ye had already changed into
Wearing casual clothes in a blue shirt, he secretly concealed his equipment on his body. What the middle-aged man saw now was just a commoner passerby.
Seeing Lin Ye's appearance, the middle-aged man was slightly startled for a moment, then looked at Xin Lan beside Lin Ye. Suddenly, he became attached. He walked towards the door, nodded to Lin Ye, and then
Pulling Xin Lan in from outside the door, he also greeted Lin Ye into the house.
This middle-aged man was quite polite. If he hadn't been, he should have kicked Lin Ye away long ago.
"Young man, where are you from?"
The middle-aged man spoke first. Lin Ye smiled, pointed to the mountain behind him, and said, "Over there!"
When he heard Lin Ye talking about the other side of the mountain, he felt a burst of emotion. Although he quickly concealed it, he was still caught by Lin Ye. Lin Ye kept speculating that the middle-aged man's eldest daughter was said to be a monster.
It must be closely related to that mountain.
"Xinlan, make some tea for the guests."
After that, he took Lin Ye and sat down on the small stone bench in the courtyard. After sitting down, the middle-aged man asked Lin Ye in a simple and honest manner what he was doing here. Lin Ye simply replied, saying
I was just passing by here and wanted to find a place to stay. I met Xin Lan before, so I followed her here.
The middle-aged man nodded in disbelief and said: "I must have heard a lot of gossip on the way to my house. I don't know whether you believe what they said or not. If you dare to stay in this humble house of mine,
There’s no shortage of places to stay.”
Listening to the middle-aged man's speech, Lin Ye could tell that as an NPC in a small village, this middle-aged man's identity was by no means ordinary. After all, an ordinary NPC would not have such high intelligence.
The eight or nine-year-old girl swayingly brought two cups over, and then a pot of tea. She carefully came over and wanted to reach the stone table to pour tea for the two of them, but she couldn't reach it.
He was too weak to hold the teapot. Lin Ye smiled and took the teapot from Xin Lan's hand and filled the two cups.
Xinlan grinned at Lin Ye and ran inside to play.
"Now that you're here, there's nothing you dare to do. You and Xinlan are both ordinary humans and can live here, so I can live here too."
"My daughters are all ordinary humans, there are no monsters!" It seemed that the middle-aged man was a little excited.
Lin Ye did not speak. The two of them were silent for a while, and there was no sound around them. The middle-aged uncle in front of him was definitely a normal person, but it was just a twist of fate that a normal person had an abnormal daughter.
The two chatted for a while, and the middle-aged man told Xin Lan to ask her sister to make some food. Lin Ye was a little embarrassed by the middle-aged man's enthusiasm. After walking around the hospital, the middle-aged man
I also went to work in the house.
Seeing the middle-aged man enter the house, Lin Ye had the opportunity to observe the situation around him. He found that no one in the neighborhood of Xinlan's house had moved out. He couldn't help but wonder, could Xinlan's sister really have someone?
So scary?
