The clan elders agreed, and things were easy to handle.
Lan Xing said directly: "Just ask the clan elders to come over there one by one and answer some questions."
He pointed to the other side, where Lin Yan, Lu Yu and An Su were standing, waiting for someone to come over.
Jing Chang was the first to walk over. He had no choice but to let the people into the village, so naturally he had to actively cooperate and strive to solve the problem as soon as possible.
As soon as he caught a glimpse of Jing Dacai's ugly face, he felt panicked. He had really offended someone this time.
Lin Yan smiled at Jing Chang and said gently: "Don't be nervous, we are just asking some common questions and we won't do anything."
Jing Chang nodded and said very cooperatively: "You ask, if I know, I will definitely tell you."
"Are there any villages around Ida Village?"
"Yes, but they are far away. I have only heard of them but never been there. I have been in the village my entire life and have never been out."
"It's okay, it doesn't matter if it's true or false, just say it."
"I heard that the nearest village is Dahe Village. It's a big place with a lot of people and a lot of land. It's a better life than us. There's also Xialin Village, and then there's Mang Village. Oh, I forgot. That's where you come from. From Mang Village."
"Do you know how to get to Dahe Village and Xialin Village?"
"I don't know. I've never been to other villages. It's too dangerous outside and I don't dare to go out. I just heard it passed down from generation to generation."
"Who in the village has been outside?"
"There is no one. Everyone who went outside died. Someone from the Jing Dacai family's ancestors went there and brought back seeds and planting methods. Life in our village became easier."
"Have you ever heard of Wu Kingdom?"
"have no idea."
…
After asking around, the clan elders knew almost everything. If it is transmitted from person to person, no one knows whether it is true or not.
Lin Yan asked Lan Yue to bring Jing Dacai over. His ancestors had been outside and brought vitality to the village. After several generations, Jing Dacai's family reached its current status.
No wonder Jing Wang dares to do evil in the village, he has the capital.
Nearly an hour later, Jing Dacai had already accepted his fate and just wanted to be released as soon as possible.
Lin Yan said directly: "Where have your ancestors gone? Is there anything else that the people in the village don't know?"
"I'm going to Dahe Village." Jing Dacai said obediently, then hesitated for a moment and said, "My ancestor once left a message that the wasteland is full of sinners."
"Where is the wasteland? Why do you say that?" Lin Yan was surprised and heard something new again.
"The wasteland is the place where we live. Why I say that, my ancestor doesn't know. He heard it from Dahe Village."
It turned out that this place was called the Wasteland, and Lin Yan was moved. After asking a few more questions, I saw that Jing Dacai really didn't know, so he let him go.
With the restraint of the clan elders, no one would bother them where they lived for the next two days.
After summarizing and analyzing the information given by the clan elders, Lin Yan said: "The ancestors of the Jing Dacai family should have returned from the west, which is consistent with the general direction we are going. Dahe Village should be in the west. We will set off tomorrow and go all the way. west."
Lan Xing nodded in agreement, "Do you think what Jing Dacai said is true?"
"It's true." Lan Yue affirmed, "He was frightened and didn't dare to deceive us."
"Then the wasteland is full of sinners, how do you explain it?" Lan Xing was completely confused. "According to Lin Yan's speculation, the place we live in is called the wasteland, so we are also sinners?"
Lan Shu immediately retorted: "This is impossible. Our ancestors have been living here for generations. How can we be sinners? We have done nothing."
Wenxue said: "The wilderness is so big and we have been walking for more than a year. The sinners may not include us."
Lin Yan's eyes lit up, "That's right. The wilderness is too big, with ferocious beasts everywhere, high mountains and dense forests, and it's very difficult to walk in it. There are very few people who wander around like us. They basically spend their whole lives just like these people in the village. Live in one place and never move.”
"Just say what you want to say." Blue Star urged, but after saying so much, he still didn't get to the point.
"I've thought a lot in the past two days. The most likely possibility is that there are indeed guilty people in the wasteland, and we haven't met them yet. We are the natives of the wasteland. If we want to know more information, we must find these criminals first. Dahe Village is a clue. Someone there must know something.”
Everyone thought what she said made sense.
When three days were up, Lin Yan and the others packed up their things and left neatly.
The villagers who were a little worried at first were afraid that they would not leave, but in the end they left on their own initiative without anyone urging them.
These days, Lanxing and others have not been idle either. They had a good relationship with the Jingcheng brothers, and they taught the two brothers some things by the way.
The two injured patients treated by Wen Xue also survived and will need to take good care of themselves in the future. She didn't let it go either, leaving some medicine and medical instructions for the injured family members to take good care of him.
Seeing the changes in the injuries confirmed Wen Xue's ability, the villagers looked at her with burning eyes, but they did not dare to force her to stay.
Riding oxen and horses, we headed west, rarely stopping along the way. Except for necessary rest, we kept on going, hoping to see Dahe Village as soon as possible.
If the speculation is correct, as long as we find Dahe Village, we should not be far from finding Wu Kingdom.
What made Lanxing and others relieved was that since coming to Mang Village, they found that the people in Jingtian Village and Mang Village spoke almost the same words, and they could basically understand them.
I also learned from Ida Village that the words they spoke were passed down from their ancestors, and that Dahe Village also spoke the same language as them.
Lin Yan and the others deduced from this that these people were not natives of the wasteland and should be related to the sinners.
It is said that the ancestors of the Jing Dacai family went away for several years before returning, and the journey in between was probably not short.
Sure enough, until mid-July, they were running for their lives in the wilderness, going through hardships and obstacles along the way, and after abandoning two cows, they finally met a hunting team from Dahe Village.
The leader of the hunting team was named Gu Yi. He led more than 20 people out to hunt. They were hunting down a group of wild goats. They were disturbed by Lin Yan and others who suddenly appeared. They let go more than half of the goats and finally only hunted three goats. .
Gu Yi and others naturally didn't have a good temper towards Lin Yan and the others, so it was considered a good temper for them not to fight directly.
Blue Star came forward and agreed to help them hunt five sheep, which finally solved the matter.
I heard from Gu Yi that ferocious beasts were very valuable in Dahe Village and could be exchanged for a lot of good things. Naturally, Lin Yan and others followed them and got a lot of prey.
Dahe Village is indeed a big village, more like a small town, with a large population and a long history.
This place is not like a wilderness mountain village at all. There are walled houses made of bricks and stones. High stone walls are built around the village to resist the invasion of ferocious beasts.
Lin Yan knew he was in the right place when he saw it for the first time.
This is a place with heritage, and there must be something she wants to know.
