From a distance, everyone saw several naked children playing outside the village. Judging from their costumes, they looked like ancient people.
"kid!"
The giant beckoned: "Excuse me, where is this place?"
When several children heard the sound, they all looked this way, and then... turned around and ran away, as if they saw the Japanese entering the village.
The giant god's hand stopped in mid-air, with an embarrassed expression: "Am I very fierce?"
Yiye Zhiqiu smiled and said: "I think maybe these children are more afraid of life."
Zhang Ze looked at the entrance of the village and found a few things that shouldn't be there.
It was seven or eight pieces of wood with one end sharpened, crossed and tied together to make a simple horse-repelling horse, which was a defensive tool used to resist cavalry.
In addition, you can also see several huge wooden shields blocking the entrance to the village, and several people are looking here, looking wary.
"It seems like the world is not peaceful."
Zhang Ze thought to himself.
He stopped everyone with his knife and said, "The other party seems to be hostile to us. It's best not to get close to the village for the time being."
Xiaoniaoyiren wondered: "What is going on here? Is there going to be a war?"
"It's very possible." Yiye Zhiqiu guessed: "I didn't see anything modern, and they were also wearing ancient clothes. It was probably an era of war and chaos."
The Dragon King became interested: "Tell them that we can help them fight! I just have itchy hands!"
The little princess of money hurriedly added: "You can't help in vain! You have to pay!"
Moonlight Bunny rolled his eyes: "Let's think about how to get into the village first!"
The group stopped a few hundred meters outside the village to observe the situation in the village.
Not long after, three people walked out of the village, an old man over seventy years old, and a middle-aged man and woman.
"Are these people human?"
The old man's words stunned Zhang Ze and others.
What's the meaning? Are there still monsters in this world?
The giant god immediately replied: "Old man, of course we are human beings!"
"What you say is unfounded!"
The woman next to the old man shouted: "It must be proved!"
Everyone was speechless, how to prove this?
Zhang Ze suddenly thought of a strange incident in his previous life: How to prove that your mother is your mother...
At this time, the middle-aged man took out a large sheepskin water bag, took a big sip, then threw it over and shouted: "Drink up the wine in it! Everyone must drink!"
Everyone was stunned, drinking?
"Is this how to prove it?"
The giant god picked up the large sheepskin water bag and weighed it. It weighed seven or eight kilograms. He opened the stopper and felt the smell of alcohol in his nose.
"This wine... seems to be quite high in alcohol content!"
Don't hesitate to come over and smell it, and say: "It's still sixty degrees if you don't say it!"
Tian Tian's melancholy expression showed an expression of embarrassment: "I never drink, I get drunk whenever I drink."
Zhang Ze hummed: "The purpose of looking at each other is to see us drunk."
"What's the point of this?" Xiaoniaoyiren wondered: "Why does drinking alcohol prove that we are human beings and also make us drunk?"
"I guess, maybe it's a monster or something. When you get drunk, your true colors will be revealed."
Little Princess Qian was a little worried: "Isn't this wine poisonous?"
"It shouldn't be poisonous." Tian Tian's melancholy said: "The man had already drank it before, and he just told us that there is no poison in the wine."
"Isn't that possible?" Moonlight Rabbit was still worried: "What if he takes the antidote in advance?"
Yiye Zhiqiu sighed and said: "Don't worry so much. If you want to enter the village, you can only prove yourself by drinking. Let's drink."
Zhang Ze made a suggestion: "Let's leave one person to drink last. If it is really poisonous, we can save everyone."
This person is naturally Zhang Ze, because he is the strongest.
The giant god raised the sheepskin water bag and took a sip. The spicy taste made him frown.
Then the water bag was handed to the next person, and everyone took turns drinking. The men were able to talk a little, but the girls suffered.
After Zhang Feng drank it, he suddenly choked and coughed, and tears flowed out.
"It's so spicy! It tastes so bad!"
The little princess Qian even complained bitterly: "My tongue has lost all feeling!"
Liu Yueying also frowned. She usually didn't drink at all. After drinking such a strong drink all at once, it was burning from the esophagus to the stomach, which was very uncomfortable.
But she didn't complain like other girls, she just endured it silently.
In the end, everyone except Zhang Ze drank once, and there was still a little half of the wine in the sheepskin bag, which was reserved for Zhang Ze.
After waiting for a while and seeing that everyone was fine, Zhang Ze drank all the remaining wine.
The three old men kept staring at Zhang Ze and the others. When they saw that they had drunk all the wine, their expressions softened a lot.
"If those orcs were transformed and drank such strong wine, they should have shown their true colors long ago."
The middle-aged man said to the old man: "Dad, it seems that they are really human beings."
The old man nodded and shouted loudly: "You have offended a lot of people. We are just in case. Please come into the village now."
Several villagers moved Juma away to let Zhang Ze and others in.
The group entered the village and saw men, women, and children standing on both sides of the road, all looking at them curiously.
"These people's clothes are really weird. They are different from what we wear."
"Could they be foreigners, coming here to do business?"
"Is there anyone doing business these days? They want money rather than their lives!"
"They are not traders. They don't have carriages or luggage. How can they sell anything?"
"That's really strange. Why do you come all the way to our remote countryside?"
"Could it be someone sent by the government to help us deal with the orcs?"
"Stop dreaming. The government has too much time to take care of itself. How can it care about the lives of untouchables like us?"
"Hey, when will this orc chaos end..."
…
Hearing the whispers from the people around them, everyone confirmed their previous guesses.
There are indeed monsters here, and they pose a great threat to humans.
The group of people was invited into the old man's house. After learning, they found out that this was in the Liang Kingdom and the village was called Jiashan Village.
There are more than 100 people in Jiashan Village who have lived here for generations.
The 70-year-old man is the head of Jiashan Village, and the middle-aged man and woman are his son and daughter-in-law.
Three years ago, the orcs suddenly appeared, burning, killing and looting everywhere, making the entire Liang Kingdom uneasy.
The imperial court sent troops to attack everywhere. Unexpectedly, the beasts were strong and powerful, and the imperial army retreated steadily. In the end, they huddled in the capital and did not dare to come out.
As for the people outside, they naturally ignored it and could only let them fend for themselves.
As a result, many places began to seek self-protection, some trained their own soldiers, and some paid to hire people to protect them.
Jiashan Village is a poor place and cannot afford mercenaries, so it has no choice but to protect itself.
Fortunately, there were several retired veterans in the village who knew some ways to fight the enemy, so they built horse-proof horses and wooden shields to protect the village.
But it's unclear how effective it was, because no large groups of orcs came to attack the village. Occasionally, a few came and were driven away by everyone.
"It's really not peaceful here."
After listening to the old village chief's story, Zhang Ze thought to himself.
"Why did these guests come to our Jiashan Village? There is nothing here except mountains."
the old village chief asked curiously.
"Oh, we are here to find a door." The giant god told the truth: "It may be made of stone, or it may be something else. Have you seen it, father-in-law?"
