After meeting the village chief, the village chief asked his son to find a piece of clothing for Chu Yan.
Originally they were just ordinary coarse cloth clothes worn by villagers, but when they were worn on Chu Yan, they gave him an out-of-this-world air.
For a moment, all the villagers who saw it wondered if there was something wrong with their eyes.
Looking at Chu Yan, the village chief became more and more convinced that his previous judgment was correct.
After all, he was once a warrior and the most knowledgeable person in Shijie Village.
This amnesiac young man is very likely to be a warrior, and he is definitely a warrior no lower than the third level of the True Martial Realm - the village chief secretly made a judgment in his mind.
And he felt that the probability of his guess was more than 90%.
At this time, with the continuous recovery of memories, Chu Yan could already feel that many things were ready to come out in his mind.
So at this time, he did not ask about the details of the villagers' discovery of him yesterday. Instead, he raised doubts about what he had just seen in the village.
"The atmosphere is a little tense?" After hearing this, the village chief smiled and touched his beard, "Actually, it has only been like this for more than half a month. If there is no big accident, it may return to normal in another half month.
Yes, it’s just a special situation recently, just in case preparations are made.”
"Just in case?" Chu Yan asked doubtfully.
The village chief did not answer Chu Yan directly, but pointed to the rolling mountains behind Shijie Village and asked Chu Yan: "Do you know the name of this mountain?"
Chu Yan shook his head.
"It's called Longji Mountain, and it is said to stretch for more than 2,500 miles." The village chief showed his appearance as the most knowledgeable elder in the village, and patiently explained to Chu Yan: "In Longji Mountain, there are many places that can be called by their names.
There are no less than twenty bandit villages.#@$&
Moreover, these bandits not only have warriors from the True Martial Realm, but also monks from the Pulse Condensation Realm."
When talking about warriors, the village chief deliberately emphasized his tone, and then looked at Chu Yan carefully, hoping to see the change in expression on Chu Yan's face.
But it is a pity that although Chu Yan's memory has not been restored at this time, his original demeanor has naturally recovered.
In other words, Chu Yan not only killed Lian Tianxinjing, but this time even the North Heavenly King of Zifu Realm was pressed under him and rubbed against him. Although he was not the one who actually made the move, he had felt that atmosphere.
Afterwards, when you hear about the True Martial Realm or the Pulse Condensation Realm, you will naturally have no reaction.
But naturally the village chief wouldn’t think so much.%&(&
He felt that it was because of Chu Yan's amnesia that he didn't respond to his words, so he continued: "These bandits never go out of the Longji Mountain area to rob homes, but they never worry about food and drink. Do you know why?
The reason?"
"Because there is a trade road in Longji Mountain, they rob the passing caravans." Chu Yan said almost without thinking.
"Huh? You understand." The village chief couldn't help but widen his eyes, and at the same time he became more and more sure that his previous guess about Chu Yan's origin was correct.
If his caravan had not been robbed, how could he have answered so quickly?
It's obviously a subconscious reaction.
Chu Yan responded naturally at this time: "Yes, when I was eight years old..."
Just as he was speaking, he suddenly stopped again, just like last night.
I vaguely remember something I did when I was eight years old, which seems to be very similar to what the village chief said, but I can't remember it at this time.
In fact, what Chu Yan wants to talk about right now is that when he was eight years old, at the second level of Zhenwu Realm, with one man and one sword, he massacred three bandit strongholds and beheaded the Black Wind bandit in Luoyue Valley, Nanyuan County.
Seven hundred and sixty people, to open up the northwest trade route.
It's just that at this time, he hasn't recalled it yet.
The village chief stared at Chu Yan, expecting what he would say next, but when he saw Chu Yan's frown, he immediately knew what was going on.
So he comforted Chu Yan and said, "Don't be too impatient about amnesia. When you have time later, I will ask people in the village to help you pay attention. Maybe we can find clues about your origin and identity along the way."
The village chief had already identified Chu Yan as a member of the caravan hijacked by bandits in Longji Mountain, so he didn't say much about your companions surviving, for fear of irritating Chu Yan.
However, Chu Yan's mind was not focused on it at this time, so he didn't think much about it. After thanking him, he asked the village chief to continue talking about the previous topic.
"Well, that's pretty much it, because if you want to go to several nearby cities, Longji Mountain is the only way to go.
If you choose to take a detour, it’s probably normal to spend an extra two or three months on the road.
Therefore, the caravan must go from Longji Mountain.
And those mountain bandits rely on robbing caravans to survive, there is no need to go outside the mountains to plunder, and the risk of going outside the mountains to plunder is also very high."
Having said this, the village chief paused for a moment, and then continued: "But in the past half month or so, I heard that there seemed to be some kind of natural disaster. Well, I think it should be, because I was sitting at home that day, and I clearly felt
The ground shook a few times.
I heard that there was a baby in the village who was knocked out of bed.
Anyway, from that day on, the number of caravans passing through Longji Mountain suddenly increased."
The village chief opened his hand and stretched out his fingers: "It's five times more than usual!"
"That's a lot. If it's a natural disaster, it's either to avoid selling goods or to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune." Chu Yan said immediately, "In this case, the latter is more likely, so this
Bandits must have been out frequently for some time.
After all, merchants who want to make a fortune will bring a lot of gold and silver, as well as supplies that are more important to bandits."
"You actually guessed it." The village chief couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Have you heard others talk about it before?"
"No." Chu Yan shook his head, "But it's not difficult to guess. You must think so, village chief."
"Uh...uh, yes." The village chief blinked and then nodded.
Chu Yan didn't pay attention to the village chief's slightly unnatural look, looked around, and continued: "When you say this, I understand.
Since bandits have appeared frequently recently, those caravans naturally need more people to escort them.
And if you invite warriors from other places, or bring warriors from your own family, the cost on the road will inevitably be very high, and once there is a loss of personnel, it will be the loss of your own family.
Even if the goods are delivered and a profit is made, if a warrior in the family is killed, it will be a loss that the family cannot make up for in a short period of time.
Therefore, the most appropriate method is to hire local villagers to join the escort team.
The villagers have lived here for generations and know the environment of Longji Mountain better than others.
Moreover, the villagers themselves are very repulsive towards bandits, so as long as the price is negotiated, then they will be the most suitable escorts along the way."
Chu Yan pointed at some nearby villagers walking around holding swords and said, "They should have such a job to do today. Am I right, village chief?"
