"Ahem, the two young men will stay ahead."
The old village chief, who had been silent for the moment, coughed slightly and spoke slowly to Lin Ran and Meng Zhishan.
"Does the old village chief want to say anything else?"
Lin Ran and Meng Zhishan both stopped when they heard the old village chief's words. Although they were a little confused, they still responded respectfully.
"Two young men, don't blame us for being like this. We really don't want to be disturbed anymore."
"It has been a long, long time since anyone from the outside came in, and we have had a long and comfortable life. Today is also our annual festival, which is very important."
"But it turns out that you outsiders have come in. In order to ensure that the festival goes ahead and live a comfortable life in the future, they are hostile to you."
The old village chief's voice was very pale, and he looked to be in his nineties. He even walked a little unsteadily, but he still explained to Lin Ran and Meng Zhishan with a smile.
"Oh I see."
When Lin Ran and Meng Zhishan heard this, they both nodded suddenly and understood why there was no one in the village just now. It turned out that they were all going to the festival.
These sturdy men should be responsible for patrolling the village. No wonder they are so hostile to Lin Ran and Meng Zhishan.
"Old village chief, we will not disturb you, let alone hurt you. The same is true for the strange beasts here, but we want to know about the strange light door."
"You have lived here for a long time, so you must know it very well."
At this time, Meng Zhishan spoke to the old village chief and others here in a soft tone.
"Hmph! We don't know anything, and even if we knew, we wouldn't tell you."
"Since you outsiders care so much about this strange light door, then go find it yourself!"
"Old village chief, don't talk nonsense with them and drive them away quickly."
The dark-skinned man was still full of hostility. In order to protect the villagers and family, he was eager to drive away Lin Ran and Meng Zhishan.
"Presumptuous! These two people have had a very good attitude from the beginning to the end, and they don't have any hostility towards us. I think they are very different from the outsiders in the past."
"Besides, these outsiders have extremely terrifying power. If they wanted to attack us, they would have easily subdued us. However, they chose to leave directly and their attitude was very friendly."
"You are a guest, put down your weapons."
The old village chief had been observing Lin Ran and Meng Zhishan from the beginning. After finding that they were not hostile and had a friendly attitude, he asked his villagers to put down their weapons.
The old village chief had a very high status in this village. As soon as he said these words, all the villagers present fell silent, nodded slightly, and then put away the weapons in their hands, but still did not lower their guard and were always ready to resist.
"Sorry for making you laugh."
"This door of light that you want to know is very special and cannot be explained in a few words. So, if you don't mind it, come to my home and I will explain it to you slowly."
The old village chief looked friendly and said to Lin Ran and Meng Zhishan with a smile.
"That's really great. Thank you very much, old village chief."
When Lin Ran and Meng Zhishan heard this, they looked at each other excitedly, and then hugged their fists at the old village chief.
"It's all gone."
The old village chief turned around and waved to the villagers present, then led Lin Ran and Meng Zhishan towards a small wooden house.
Although the villagers present had dispersed temporarily, they were still worried. The dark-skinned man followed closely behind the old village chief with some powerful companions.
Lin Ran naturally saw it, but he didn't care. It was natural to protect the village chief.
In this way, under the leadership of the old village chief, Lin Ran and Meng Zhishan entered the old village chief's wooden house.
Along the way, Lin Ran also saw a lot of things used in the festival, and confirmed that the villagers did go to participate in the festival.
At the same time, Lin Ran also discovered that humans and alien beasts in the village coexisted peacefully. Even human children were not afraid of these alien beasts at all. Playing with them presented a very peaceful and peaceful scene. .
For Lin Ran and Meng Zhishan, this "small world" is really a paradise.
"The conditions inside the house are simple, so please don't dislike it."
"Sit wherever you like."
The old village chief brought Lin Ran and Meng Zhishan to the wooden house and spoke kindly to them.
At the same time, another old woman quickly brought out three cups of tea and placed them in front of them one after another.
"Thank you, old village chief, for believing in us."
"Actually, we really don't have any malicious intentions. We just want to find the light door so that we in the outside world can have a chance to be saved."
Lin Ran didn't hide anything at this time. He spoke directly to the old village chief and showed an urgent idea.
"We don't know anything about your situation outside, and we don't care at all, but no matter what happens, please fulfill your promise, don't disturb our lives, and don't take away the strange beasts here."
The old village chief took a sip of hot tea, then looked at Lin Ran and Meng Zhishan and said.
"Old village chief, don't worry, we will never do this."
Meng Zhishan responded quickly.
"Okay, then I feel relieved."
"Then let me tell you what that strange light door is all about."
"First of all, this light gate does not actually exist, or it needs to meet certain conditions before it will appear automatically. Those outsiders in the past also continued to harass us because they could not find the light gate."
When the old village chief mentioned this, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Then what conditions does this light gate need to meet for it to appear?"
"I wonder, old village chief, can you reveal some inside information?"
Lin Ran nodded slightly when he heard this, and then asked.
After all, these people have lived here for generations and have seen many, many people coming from the outside world. They must know something about the light.
Especially since this old man is still the village chief, he will definitely know more about the situation.
"I do know some inside information, but it's very dangerous to open the light door."
"Maybe you just saw that there is a creek next to this village. This creek is connected to a river in the forest. The way to open the light door is to enter that river."
"It is said that there is a treasure deep in the river. To be precise, it should be a key, the key to open the light door."
"But underneath this river, it is very dangerous. There seems to be a terrifying power. Many people once entered the river and never came out. Or some were lucky enough to come out alive but found nothing."
"If you insist on opening the light gate, then go to that river."
