"Of course there's a way!" Xuanyuan Mo continued, now was not the time to explain all of this. "I will tell everyone about these things in a while. Can you tell me the details first?"
"Follow me!" The old man sighed and was the first to turn around. He walked towards the room that was considered to be not bad and a few people followed him.
But there were still too many people, so they left Cheng Ziheng behind. After Yu Yang and General Li, the rest all returned to the cave to wait.
"Aren't you afraid of being stuck here?" The old man's voice was still cold, but it was clearly much better than before.
"Since we dare to come, then we won't be afraid of not being able to leave!" Liruo raised her eyebrows.
The old man raised his head in surprise, his gaze falling upon the adorable young girl. She seemed to have some kind of magic that allowed her to let people feel that she was very cheerful.
"Before you came here, did you not understand those rumors?" Why didn't the Prefect say anything? " His words were full of ridicule, but he just couldn't understand whether he was mocking himself or the Prefect. Or perhaps, what he was laughing at was actually the system of this country.
"Of course I know about it!" "Li Ruo replied with a smile." As for the Prefect that you mentioned, because he has concealed this matter, he has already been placed in prison. We will have to investigate this matter thoroughly before deciding on his verdict. "
"Oh?" The Village Chief was surprised.
They had already abandoned themselves to live the rest of their lives in peace.
In fact, during this period of time, when the people inside were neither crying nor making a ruckus, and everyone seemed to have accepted their fate, he felt very sad. Thus, just now, he gathered the village manager to discuss and see if there were any countermeasures.
"This was originally a very quiet place. Perhaps because everyone looked very different from the people outside and because they all felt inferior, we tried to walk out, but those who came in contact with us would all die for no reason. After that, we started living a peaceful life!" After thinking it through, he started to talk a lot. After hesitating for a while, the Village Head decided to tell him the truth.
"We never go out to stir up trouble. When we see pedestrians, we do it in a roundabout way. We only take our stuff out to exchange for some rice grains at a fixed time. Of course, we can also grow some for ourselves, but we don't know why. There's basically nothing that can be made into an artifact! " The few of them listened attentively, but their eyes could not help but peek through the window. The gap between the door and the door was looking outwards, and the more they looked, the more dilapidated they became.
"Let's eat some!" This old one will think of a way tomorrow. " While they were talking, the Village Head's wife had already prepared some simple food, and everyone had already started to eat some. It was just that the taste was not that great.
However, seeing their kind intentions, the four of them forced themselves to eat some.
"Do you need the others to make some to send over to them?" Although the village chief asked this, if Li Ruo could see the uneasiness on Li Rui's face, it must be because there was nothing extra to eat in his house.
"Village Head, don't worry, they will go find food for themselves!" Xuanyuan Mo did not need to worry. Before they set out, Liruo had instructed everyone to bring their own food, just in case something like this happened.
Hearing this, the Village Chief heaved a sigh of relief.
"That would be for the best!" These words were not abrupt. It was just a statement of the truth. Liru felt a pang in her heart and suddenly remembered the refugees from Africa whom she had met before.
"Actually, I've always been curious as to how you came in. A month ago, this place was completely covered by rocks and lava. Coupled with the snowy weather, it was already difficult to move a single step." His thoughts were disrupted by the Village Head's words, and he seemed to come back to his senses.
"It seems that the Village Chief really does not know!" With a smile on his face, Xuanyuan Mo gave the Old Village Chief a brief summary of the route. The Old Village Chief was in a trance. The facts proved that they had never thought that there would be an exit behind the water curtain.
"The Old Ancestor never mentioned it before!" After that, the village chief told them about the current situation in the village. Only then did they realize that the village chief was not born here. He was born here, and as he grew older, he had always wanted to go out and take a look.
He thought so, and he did. As a result, when he was a teenager, he sneaked out of the teahouse without anyone noticing. Because of his strange appearance, he had always used his veil to show people that he was doing a lot of things. Finally, when he was in his twenties, he had his first teahouse.
It was also at that time that he finally found the woman he liked, his current wife, but when he thought of how he looked, he kept backing down. After that, his wife's family all died for various reasons, leaving her alone.
But what she didn't know was that he had always loved her.
Until one day …
It was unknown who had revealed his secret. All his efforts had been for naught. He had been stripped of his veil in public. Once his terrifying appearance was exposed, there would no longer be any business left. She never left him,
In the end, the two decided to leave the capital, which was an influential place, and returned here to live a leisurely life.
The previous Village Chief was also his father. Not long after his return, he left. Thus, it was only natural for him to take over his father's position and protect the village.
Under his lead, although everyone's lives remained dull, they were still satisfied. At the very least, they would be able to eat their fill and wear warm clothes.
He had been doing his best, but unfortunately, he was not a match for natural and man-made disasters. He was helpless in the face of such a thing. Fortunately, everyone was used to such things, so no one urged or objected to his decision.
In fact, they had long since given up under the mockery and ridicule of the world. It would be a good idea if they just left their sight.
Most importantly, those who had seen them before were all dead. That was why they had always felt guilty, feeling that it was because they had killed someone before, and now the heavens wanted them to repay even more.
Therefore, dying was a form of release for them.
I think, he must have wanted me to carefully think over the problems when I meet one, and not sit here and wait for death. Now that I think about it, I'm really ashamed, if I didn't lead everyone to give up and instigate the thought of euthanasia, perhaps at this moment, everyone wouldn't be sitting here waiting for death! The village chief was very upset.
His wife was like a normal person, perhaps the only normal person in this place. She didn't say much, but after a slight sigh, she patted the Village Head's back as if she was comforting him,
"Retribution!" He said that because the first person to die in the vicinity had seen him, he thought it was a kind of retribution.
"My wife is a very normal person, but this terrifying thing has grown on her neck. Although it's very small, it's not as conspicuous as ours, but it's already grown long!" It was also at this moment that they saw the lump that the woman was wearing.
They all thought back to the words of the only normal person left in their minds.
Since they could not leave tonight, everyone slept here. Xuanyuan Mo and Li Ruo stayed at the Village Head's house, General Li, Yu Yang and Cheng Ziheng were brought to another house.
"How is it, do you have any leads?" At night, neither of them could fall asleep. Xuanyuan Mo embraced Li Ruo and asked her in a low voice,
"Yes!" Liru nodded. "It's not retribution or curses, they're just sick!" She did not know much about medicine, but she had seen this symptom before. At that time, she was curious, so she checked the information. She remembered that this was a disease called thyroid.
However, at that time, she had only seen one person. This time, such a large area had suddenly appeared, so …
She had never been sure.
"Oh?" Xuanyuan Mo naturally did not believe in retribution for such nonsense, "The Village Head said that those who had seen them before would all die. "What's going on?"
"Do you still remember the information that I called Cheng Ziheng?" Li Ruo took the blanket that Xuanyuan Mo had pulled apart and climbed in. Although there was charcoal, it was still very cold. Fortunately, she had Xuanyuan Mo by her side, so she didn't feel too uncomfortable.
"Yeah, I heard some things from him today as well!"
"The details need further verification after we leave this place. However, I can confirm that those people who died had nothing to do with the people here. They are not as terrifying as the rumors outside either!" However, the only thing Li Ruo didn't understand was that the thyroid gland was commonly known as Big Neck Disease, which was not contagious at all.
However, why would all of the people here have problems like this? Furthermore, all of them were no exception.
"How could that be?" Xuanyuan Mo didn't understand. If he hadn't heard wrongly, then these people had all seen them before they died.
"Those who die have one thing in common, and that is those who have seen this place before they died!" Li Ruo then voiced Xuanyuan Mo's doubts. However, this cannot be used as evidence. You have heard that the Village Head had been out for so many years, so of course, he has encountered a lot of people. If what he said is true, then wouldn't a large number of the people in the capital die? Take the closer one for example, his wife, he isn't a person from here, and there's also us. Not only did we meet with them, we even ate with them. At least, in their current position, they were fine.
