Fan Yi heard Tianlingyin say this, doesn't it mean that these people in front of him are not complete living creatures?
How is this possible? It was obvious that these were people of flesh and blood, and they were standing right in front of him.
Behind the men, several children were still sizing him up secretly. Although the expressions on their faces were frightened, their eyes were extremely clear.
The white-haired old man took a deep breath and asked again:
"Who are you? Where do you come from?"
Fan Yi cupped his hands towards the white-haired old man and said:
"This junior is going to Tianlong City and accidentally entered here unknowingly. How dare I ask the old man, where is this place?"
Just finished speaking.
The white-haired old man widened his eyes angrily and shouted:
"What Tianlong City? I have never heard of that kind of place. Are you a spy sent by other villages to steal our children?"
"If you don't tell the truth, I won't be polite!"
Fan Yi looked helpless, feeling that others regarded him as a child thief.
But what I said was indeed the truth. It would not be easy if I were to lie now.
Fan Yi cupped his hands again and said with a smile:
"Old man, I am really not a thief who stole children. I was just passing by. If you don't believe me, then I will leave now."
When the white-haired old man heard this, he showed a doubtful expression on his face.
The several sturdy men behind him also had doubtful expressions. But the old man didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to act rashly.
The white-haired old man seemed not to want to cause trouble, so he waved his hand and said:
"Then let's go!"
Don’t forget to add one sentence:
"If you let me know that you are here to steal a child, we will definitely break your legs and sink you into the pond! This will also let them know that we are not easy to mess with."
Although Fan Yi was very confused, he could only choose to leave first.
Fan Yi could only bypass the village and continue walking forward. When he looked up at the sky again, the scorching sun was still high in the sky, and the sun shone warmly on his body.
I don't know how long they walked, but Fan Yi estimated that they walked at least dozens of miles.
I felt hungry in my stomach, so I found a small forest near the waterhole, took out a whole piece of animal meat from the Fang Cun Tiger Brand, and grilled it with firewood.
Not to mention that eating barbecue and drinking wine in such a picturesque place is one of the fun things in life.
After struggling for a while, the young man also filled his stomach and got up again and started on his way.
I just hope to meet a normal person so that I can find out more about the situation here.
As he walked, another village appeared in front of the young man's eyes, and both the number of houses and the appearance of the village were exactly the same as those he had seen before.
Right at the entrance of the village, there were six or seven children chasing a little pig.
Fan Yi's head suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and there was a surprised look in his eyes.
If nothing else, he had already seen these children and thought to himself:
"Did I go the wrong way and come back? That's impossible, I kept going forward."
Just when I thought of this, an even weirder scene happened. The pig that the little boy was walking walked towards Fan Yi again.
But this time, the expressions on the faces of several children turned out to be joy after seeing Fan Yi.
The little boy looked Fan Yi up and down.
He then shouted loudly:
"Big brother, you are finally back!"
Fan Yi was shouted out by the little boy in front of him, but he saw the little boy reaching out his hand again.
A young and tender hand tightly held Fan Yi's finger, as if trying to pull him towards the village with all his strength.
Seeing a group of children cheering and cheering, Fan Yi had no choice but to follow them.
However, Fan Yi was very sure of one thing in his heart. This village was definitely not the same one he had encountered before.
There seems to be something missing in the eyes of these children, but since they are welcomed by others, it means that there is a possibility of communication, at least to extract some information, and his purpose will be achieved.
Sure enough, just when Fan Yi was dragged into the village by several children, seven or eight middle-aged men came out to greet him. They must have been disturbed by the sound of children playing.
The people in front of him looked exactly the same as the ones Fan Yi had seen before, and the white-haired old man at the head showed a happy expression from a distance.
When they met, the white-haired old man said with loving eyes:
"Xiaoyi, you are finally back. You have been out of the village for half a month. It's really worrying."
Hearing this, Fan Yi smiled and said perfunctorily:
"Back, back."
Fan Yi knew very well in his heart that the Xiao Yi the white-haired old man was talking about was definitely not him.
Maybe he was talking about another person, but that person looked somewhat similar to himself.
Fan Yi is so smart, but he figured out the secret after just a moment's thought.
This is what makes this forbidden area special.
However, Fan Yi had no way to determine which of the three forbidden areas this forbidden area belonged to.
The white-haired old man and the people in many villages were very happy. The old man pulled Fan Yi and walked towards one of the earthen houses.
When I entered the door, I saw that the furnishings of this earthen house were very simple. There were eight wooden stools surrounding a square wooden table on two levels, inside and outside.
Fan Yi and the white-haired old man sat on a stool, and the other men also sat down.
The white-haired old man asked again:
"Xiao Yi, did you encounter any native people making trouble for you when you went out this time? Did you get your things back?"
Fan Yi was stunned: "Turkish"? What is a "native"?
"Something? What do you need to retrieve?"
Seeing the serious look on his face, the white-haired old man also became depressed, and whispered to himself:
"It doesn't matter if you don't get it back. Just go back next time."
Fan Yi had to think of a way to deal with it first, and then make excuses.
After all, this place is densely forested with countless vegetation and wild fruits, which should be an excuse.
He just said:
"I accidentally ate some wild fruits when I entered the forest earlier, and now I can't remember many things. Can you tell me about the "natives" and that thing?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, the white-haired old man and the men all had expressions of surprise on their faces.
The white-haired old man asked hurriedly and with concern:
"Did you eat a dark red wild fruit? Oops, it's broken. That's the forget-you-forget-you fruit. Eating it will not only cause you to lose your memory, but it will also make you delirious."
"Where else do you feel uncomfortable now?"
Fan Yi cursed in his heart: Is this possible?
He shook his head hurriedly and said:
"I didn't eat much, and apart from not being able to remember some things, I had no other discomfort."
The white-haired old man was hesitant, but finally chose to believe Fan Yi. After sorting out his thoughts, he explained leisurely.
It turned out that the "natives" the old man mentioned were the people Fan Yi had met before, and the old man also focused on the origin of the "natives".
There is a strange phenomenon here. Before the night recedes and the sun rises, the faces of the people here will be captured by some kind of power, transforming the people who originally lived here into another version of themselves.
After these people are transformed, they will disappear again with the sunset, only to appear next time.
Day and night do not alternate daily.
Sometimes the days are long, sometimes the nights are longer, you never know.
The "natives" can only move within a specific area, so the people here built identical villages for them.
The "natives" cannot leave the village for more than a hundred feet, otherwise they will disappear.
Fan Yi was shocked to hear that, and what shocked him the most was that there seemed to be more than one such "native" village.
Once a living person enters, his lifespan may be reduced, or his body may die.
So it's extremely dangerous.
No wonder Tianlingyin told Fan Yi before that the people he met were not living creatures.
