The last rule was reminded three times, with three exclamation marks, all reminding players of the importance of this rule.
The Code of Burrows also accurately tells players that cave dwellers and villagers are hostile to each other.
No, if you think about it from another angle, maybe it’s the villagers who are hostile, not the cave dwellers.
This can be reflected from Wushan Granny's attitude towards outsiders.
At this point, the main outline of this mysterious realm gradually becomes clear.
In her opinion, although the Strange Territory is surrounded by dangers, encountered countless dangers, and almost died several times, the clues were found quite smoothly.
As long as she doesn't die, she will make money.
"Where is my mother-in-law?"
Jiang Yao asked.
The man in black robes, whose face could not be seen clearly, didn't know what he was thinking, and his reaction was slow. He waited until she was impatient and wanted to go out to find her mother-in-law, and then he spoke slowly.
"In, in the medicine garden."
Jiang Yao stopped looking at him and walked out of the house.
At a glance, I saw Grandma Wushan squatting in the medicinal field, tending medicinal herbs. Before I fell into coma, I couldn't see clearly. With the oil lamp hanging on the cave wall, I could clearly see the eighty-year-old old woman.
The back of the hand was as wrinkled as tree bark, holding the medicine hoe, hoeing the ground again and again.
Compared with people on the ground, the mother-in-law is more like an expert who is far away from the world, isolated from the world, and living in her own world.
"Hello, mother-in-law."
Jiang Yao was all smiles.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. In order to build a good relationship, Jiang Yao watched her mother-in-law hoeing the ground, then found a hoe himself, squatted aside, tried to avoid touching the herbs, and started taking care of them carefully.
She moved swiftly, not only did she not cause any trouble, she also quickly cleared the weeds in the field.
Before Grandma Wushan could react, today's weeding work had been successfully completed.
Mother-in-law: “…………”
She stood up, patted the dirt on her clothes, raised her gray eyes, squinted her eyes and looked Jiang Yao up and down, and finally squeezed out a cold snort from her nostrils.
"What are you asking?"
Jiang Yao: "I want to ask about Dragon Burial Village."
When the mother-in-law heard this, her eyes immediately became cold and she stopped looking at her. She threw the hoe into the corner and walked away with her short legs.
Jiang Yao was slightly stunned when he saw this, and quickly understood.
The cave people are against the village people, and as the person in charge of the cave, Granny Wushan will only go as far as possible.
But compared to those cannibal villagers, the underground cave is the only breakthrough.
She planned to go around the cave first and talk to a cave dweller, who would be better able to get information than her mother-in-law.
"Hello, I, I, am not a bad person...Hello, hello..."
His eyes turned and fell on the man in black robe facing the wall. He didn't know he was sick or something, but he kept saying "Hello, hello" to the wall.
Jiang Yao: "…………"
She sighed.
Unexpectedly, the boss of the Nihility Guild not only acted eccentrically, but also had a brain problem.
If he hadn't been the only useful person in the cave, Jiang Yao would have really wanted to turn around and leave.
She adjusted her attitude, put on a fake smile, and walked over to say hello.
"President Jiang, are you okay now?"
Jiang Ji, who was facing the wall, trembled when he heard this, and his forehead hit the log wall with a loud bang.
He was startled, and Jiang Yao was also startled.
Jiang Ji turned around quickly, with a big bump on her forehead, and didn't care. Seeing her step back, she couldn't help but take a step forward, so anxious that the sound of the machine was distorted.
"No, no."
Jiang Yao glanced at the bump on his forehead and hesitated to speak.
After a long while, she said: "Okay, can you take me around the cave?"
Jiang Ji nodded like a fool, as funny as a woodpecker.
Immediately, I saw him walking forward on hands and feet, his limbs stiff, and he introduced the cave in a serious manner.
The underground cave covers an area half the size of the Dragon Burial Village, and is home to eight or nine families. Grandma Wushan can unravel the curse, and she can also treat cave dwellers when they are sick. The entrance to the cave is guarded by cave dwellers every day.
No one could get out of the cave except Grandma Wushan and him.
They stay underground all year round without seeing the sun, and their physical condition is generally poor. They need to take secret medicine made by their mother-in-law every month to strengthen their physical condition.
Jiang Yao remembered that when he first entered the Strange Realm, he was locked in a cave with some girls.
She couldn't help but ask about it.
Jiang Ji said: "That is a feudal folk custom that was abolished in the early years of Dragon Burial Village, called 'Luohua Cave Girl'."
Girls in the village are strictly constrained by feudal ethics and tribal customs. They have no freedom and choice in choosing a spouse. They can only passively accept marriages arranged by their parents or the village owner.
If they do not get married on time or find a suitable partner, they will be regarded as a shame and burden, and may even be ostracized and discriminated against.
And these girls will be sent to caves in the mountains and forests to marry the mountain gods.
In this way, the village obtains the blessing of the mountain god.
Jiang Yao and those girls are all trapped girls. This is why the entrance to the cave is blocked by boulders, and their only end is death.
There is an important point in Jiang Ji's words.
This is a feudal folk custom that was abolished in the early years.
Jiang Yao asked the last question.
"Have you ever seen a goat-headed man?"
Jiang Ji answered truthfully.
No.
"I often go to the ground, but I haven't seen it before."
Jiang Yao narrowed his eyes: "Why do you often go to the ground?"
No matter how Jiang Ji asked, he remained silent and turned back to the coy and dead look he had before.
Jiang Yao finished visiting the cave in less than an hour.
When I came to a cave dweller's home, I saw that the cave dwellers in Jiang Ji were hospitable and loved her very much.
But when she asked about Dragon Burial Village, her face changed instantly. She was angry and scared. She held a broom and drove them both out of the house.
"Don't come back again! You are not welcome in the cave!"
Jiang Yao was not discouraged and visited several more households.
Got treated the same.
They were almost frightened by the news of Dragon Burial Village and were extremely resistant to it, refusing to say a word.
Before she could go to the next house, Grandma Wushan appeared in front of her.
"Follow me." Her mother-in-law glared at her with gray eyes and her voice was cold.
Returned to Grandma Wushan’s residence.
Hear her ask: "What is your purpose of asking about Dragon Burial Village?"
Jiang Yao's attitude was sincere.
"Mother-in-law, although I don't know what grudges you have against the villagers of Burial Dragon Village, my purpose is the same as yours, to make everything better."
Grandma Wushan was not moved by her attitude and said expressionlessly.
“Everything is fine in the Burrow, it doesn’t need to get any better.”
Jiang Yao continued without comment.
"There's one thing I still can't figure out. Why do you want to stay underground? I met a lot of people today and I finally understand."
"You are hiding from the villagers of Burial Dragon Village."
The relationship between the two is more like cat and mouse.
And she was sure that the villagers not only regarded the cavemen as food, but that catching them seemed to have a more important purpose.
This is the fifth rule of the cave: no treasure!
What exactly is a treasure?
