Wang Yu was walking in front, with Orange Cat Dandan following at his feet, and Lu Ziyi and Nangong Lingxi behind him.
Behind them is the donkey cart.
Sitting on the donkey cart were old men, women, children, and a middle-aged man who looked honest, with a medium build and dark skin.
He was the unlucky guy who was forced by the two strong men to deal with obstacles on the road together.
There were four people sitting on a flatbed truck, and half of the truck's contents were also loaded on it. It was pulled by an old donkey in front, so it couldn't go very fast.
The donkey cart walked slowly in front, followed by the scholar-looking guy carrying a bamboo cage.
Not far behind the scholar were the two strong man duo.
After seeing the evil star and the two stunning beauties leaving, I originally planned to take the opportunity to slip away.
It's just that they were worried that if they turned back, they might run into someone from the Wu family.
There was a wolf in front of them and a tiger behind them. They thought about it and decided to move forward. After all, the evil star might have calmed down.
Wang Yu walked for a while and saw that the woods on both sides had disappeared. Instead, there are yellow-orange rice fields.
Seeing these rice fields, he felt that he was not far from the so-called night village.
He even saw some villagers working in these rice fields.
However, when these villagers saw them, their expressions changed drastically. They lost all their work and turned around and ran back, as if they were some kind of savage beast.
After a while, Wang Yu saw a large number of people walking towards him from a distance.
Seeing that they were all empty-handed and did not hold any farm tools such as hoes or sickles, Wang Yu knew that they were not looking for trouble.
Among these people, the leader is an old man with a cane, a long white beard on his face, and a stooped body.
However, before he could speak, someone shouted from behind him: "How did you come here? Didn't you see that we blocked the road? Why did you come here? Why are you so eager to die?"
As soon as the man said these words, except for Wang Yu, the three of them, and the child of several years old, whose expressions remained normal, the expressions of several other people immediately turned ugly.
After all, no one likes to be cursed with death.
The strong man had a sullen face and said angrily: "What do you mean by that? You guys blocked a good road like that. Do you know how much effort and energy we spent to clear that road? ?”
"We haven't come to you yet to ask for punishment, but you are here to beat us up, right? You are actually cursing us to seek death. I think it is you who wants to seek death!"
The strong man was first slapped in the face by Wang Yu, then threatened by Wang Yu, and then he did so much work. He was already full of anger.
Now someone had hit the muzzle, and he was just about to let off some steam.
"You...!" The man wanted to say something else, but was stopped by the white-bearded old man.
The white-bearded old man waved his hand at the man, stopping him from retorting. He looked at the angry big brother and said gently: "This strong man, you misunderstood. We are not cursing you, but we are cursing you." Save your lives!"
"It's true that we blocked that road. But the reason why we blocked that road is because we don't want anyone to come to our village again."
"To be honest, a lot of strange things have happened in our village over the years, and many people have died. In the past two years, we have mastered some rules and found a way, and things have gotten a little better."
"As people in our village gain experience, our chances of survival will be much higher. But you outsiders, who are new here, don't know any taboos or things you need to remember."
"There are still some people who don't listen to our advice. After coming to our village, they sneer at our warnings and still go their own way. Such people will basically not survive a night!"
"As more and more people from outside died, we didn't want to harm innocent lives, so we blocked the road into the village."
"I just didn't expect it, you guys. When you saw the road was blocked, not only did you not go back the way you came, but you also cleared the road and came here!
"Oh, it's true, Tokiya! Fate! It's destined!"
"What nonsense? If your village is so evil, how come I don't know about it? You still want to lie to me? Do you think I'm a fool?" the strong man said with disdain.
The old man sitting on the donkey cart also said: "I have walked this road many times before. As long as you pass through your village and go forward, you can go to the next county."
"This road is a shortcut to the next county, but not many people know about it. Although, I have never walked on it in the past few years, but I have never heard of such a thing."
"Brother, are you trying to scare us and then want us to keep the money for your life with you?"
As the old man spoke, their eyes immediately became wary.
On the other hand, Wang Yu, the three of them and the child of several years old still looked as usual.
Because Wang Yu and the others knew from the background story of the dungeon that there was indeed a problem in this village. The old man in front of them did not lie, so there was no such nonsense as buying money for traveling.
As for the four or five-year-old kid...
He simply didn't understand.
The white-bearded old man shook his head, sighed, and said in conclusion: "Everyone in our village can't even get out, so why do we need money? To us, gold and silver are just a pile of junk."
"Oh, no, it's not as useful as scrap copper and scrap iron! The scrap copper and scrap iron can at least be remade into something, and it can also be used to make some farm tools, weapons and the like. Things like gold, silver, and jewelry are here for us. It’s of no use at all.”
The strong man was stunned for a moment, then showed disdain and said sarcastically: "Repaying gold, silver and jewelry is of no use to you. You are lying, can you use your brain to cheat? Huh?"
"What are gold, silver and jewels? That's money! Although money is not omnipotent, it is not impossible either! Gold, silver and jewels are not as useful as the scrap copper and iron you say? What do you mean? , who would believe it?”
"If you really think that gold, silver and jewelry are of no use at all. Then give me some. I don't mind them being useless. The more you give me, the better!"
"I told you it was useless, so who would still carry it with me?" the man behind the old man yelled again.
The white-bearded old man glared at him and shouted coldly: "Shut up! With your attitude, who will listen to you? We are saving people, but we are not so arrogant and superior like you! You If you do this again, go home!"
Not only was the man not frightened by the old man's words, but he said coldly: "Tch! So what if you talk nicely? Those people outside have never experienced those horrors, how can they understand us? How can they listen to us?"
"Either they will only think of us as fools, or they will only think of us as people with ulterior motives who want to harm them! After so many years, haven't you understood?"
"These outsiders, let them do what they want! Let us not care about them. Let them fend for themselves. If they want to die, let them die. Don't fight for them anymore. It’s one of our own.”
"Them? Our own people?" The white-bearded old man turned around, looked at the man angrily, and cursed: "What do you mean them? What do you mean our own people? They are all human beings like us!"
"The people in our village are human beings, but they are not human beings anymore? They are all living beings! Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda! Don't you understand this? Do you want to watch them helplessly?" Are you going to die?"
"If you are so hard-hearted, I can't change your mind even if I were you. Likewise, you can't change my mind either!"
"You think it's useless work. You don't have to do it. Just go home now! I'll do it myself!"
"Don't hold back if you don't want to help, otherwise, don't blame me for denying you as my son!"
Seeing that the white-bearded old man was so angry, the man could only say "You will regret it!" and turned away.
