Early the next morning, Lin Yan got up and did some exercise. Don't tell me, although this tent is broken, it is quite comfortable to sleep in, so he had a good rest last night.
He originally planned to say goodbye today, but he couldn't resist the old leader's enthusiasm to persuade him to stay.
Lin Yan was really helpless. Originally, the food in the tribe was not enough, but now he suddenly had an outsider like him. This made things worse!
Although it is impossible for one person to eat them up, it is a special period after all, and any little savings is worth it.
But the old leader didn't seem to understand this truth, or he didn't bother to understand it.
In his view, if guests cannot be entertained even though they have come from afar, then what's the use of just eating and drinking.
His thoughts are very simple and simple, but there are not many people as simple and simple as him in today's world.
Lin Yan stayed for two more days. On the morning of the third day, he greeted the old leader and said that he had something to do and that he really couldn't stay any longer.
When the old leader heard this, he could only agree, but he still looked a little reluctant.
At this moment, the curtain of the old leader's tent was suddenly opened, and a dark-skinned man wearing coarse linen clothes ran in and said breathlessly: "Chief, something happened! Go and have a look!"
The old leader was surprised and thought: Could something happen to the people in the tribe?
He quickly asked: "What's wrong?"
The visitor continued: "It's the ground, there is something in the ground!"
The old leader was stunned for a moment, wondering if there was something in the ground? What else could be in the ground besides soil? Could it be potatoes? But we haven’t planted it either!
Seeing that he couldn't explain it for a while, the dark man who came in directly stretched out his hand and pulled the old leader out, and Lin Yan followed behind.
After walking for a while, a few people came to the tribe's field. There were already many people surrounding them, in groups of three or two, whispering and pointing, as if they were discussing something.
Seeing the old leader coming, the people quickly made way for the old leader and others to enter the field.
After all, the old leader was old, and he was almost out of breath after being pulled by the dark man for such a long distance.
After finally standing still, he was about to rest for a while, when he casually glanced forward, his eyes widened in shock.
In the pit in front of you is a... person?
No wonder he was so surprised. After all, it was difficult for a small tribe like them to survive, and now they were facing famine. Could it be that the people in the tribe were starving to death?
When he thought about this, he blamed himself endlessly, blaming himself as a tribal leader for not having the ability to lead everyone to live a good life, but now even having a full meal became a luxury!
Just as the old leader was thinking wildly, Lin Yan had already stepped forward from him.
He has been living here for the past few days. Although he doesn't know everyone, he is familiar to everyone, and no one thinks that his behavior is sudden.
Lin Yan stood on the edge of the pit and looked down. He saw that the pit was pitch black, and he could barely see a human-shaped thing lying there, but it was motionless.
At this time, the old leader calmed down and stepped forward to check.
The old and the young looked at each other for a long time, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes, without any clue.
The dark-skinned man on the side walked up to the old leader again and said: "Chief, Dashi and the others thought that the land was idle today, so they wanted to dig a well here. Unexpectedly, they just dug about two feet. It suddenly collapsed, but fortunately nothing happened to anyone."
The old leader nodded and motioned for him to continue.
The swarthy man continued: "Then they saw something that looked like a human being inside, but it was dark underneath and they couldn't see clearly, so please come and make an idea."
"So this is what it looks like!"
The old leader probably understood the cause and effect of the matter, but judging from his experience of living for most of his life, he couldn't figure out the reason for the time being.
This pothole is roughly estimated to be seven or eight feet deep. If the thing underneath is really a person, then how he appeared so deep underground is an unsolved mystery.
After all, if the murderer really wanted to kill people and dump their bodies, then digging a pit of about one foot would be considered very careful. No one would dig a pit of seven or eight feet to bury someone.
If so, then there must be something wrong with his brain!
The old leader looked at the pothole in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Now there are two ways to choose: one is to turn a blind eye and just pretend that the hole does not exist, or simply bury it and keep it out of sight.
Another way is to choose one person to go and check it out to calm everyone's doubts.
But who should we choose for this job?
When the old leader expressed his thoughts, the people around him stopped talking, and no one mentioned anything about going down to check.
After all, with such a deep hole, who knows what’s inside, what if something bad gets caught up in it? No, no, it’s scary just thinking about it!
Seeing that no one had this intention, the old leader was preparing to ask people to fill in the soil and seal the hole. Suddenly, Lin Yan stood up from the side.
The old leader looked at him with confusion and asked: "Young hero, what are you doing?"
Lin Yan scratched his head awkwardly, smiled and said, "How about I go down and take a look?"
When everyone heard this, their eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.
In fact, Lin Yan didn't want to go. It wasn't that he was afraid of the dark, but the main reason was that the pothole was too dirty!
During this period of time, he lived in the open and finally found a tribe, but he was still very poor and could barely afford to eat.
He hadn't taken a shower for a while, and he didn't even wash his face. After all, the water source on the road was still very important.
So he is a little dirty now, but fortunately it is not visible from the outside.
If I go down this time, I will definitely get dirty again. Is this the time when I am wandering around the world or digging a cellar?
He has always been puzzled. It is said that the knights who roam the world are dressed in white and are spotless. Can it really be done?
Is it really because I am poor that I have to suffer all this?
He had only been out for a short time, so he naturally didn't know that those slender Jianghu guests were all important figures in large sects, or were young men and young ladies from some wealthy families who came out to play. Naturally, there was a large team of people waiting behind him, so how could he Like him!
If he really ventured into the world alone, he would be in the same state as Lin Yan at this time. Maybe the exciting heroine you meet hasn’t taken a shower in several days!
The old leader was also kind-hearted. He looked at Lin Yan and said worriedly: "Young hero, the hole down here is very deep. There is no guarantee that there will be no accident. You should think again!"
Lin Yan gave a bitter smile and said, "Old leader, don't worry, I'll just go down and take a look. Nothing will happen!"
After saying that, he bowed his hands and asked the old leader to find a thick and long rope. He tied the rope around his waist and tied a buckle.
Then, two men from the village pulled the rope and lowered him bit by bit.
Since it was daytime, the hole was too deep, so the bottom couldn't be seen clearly. The top was still very bright, so there was no need to light any torches.
As the rope slowly moved down, Lin Yan was also approaching the human-shaped object step by step.
As soon as he discovered this humanoid object, Qiu Lao urged him to come down and take a look. In addition, he also had some inexplicable feelings in his heart, so he agreed to come down and take a look.
After a while, the rope was slowly lowered to the bottom, which showed how deep the pit was.
When Lin Yan stood on the ground at the bottom of the pit, he felt that the ground was a little dry and did not look like it was deep underground.
As we all know, if the land surface is exposed to the sun, it will naturally become drier. The soil deep underground does not see sunlight all year round and is soft and moist. Why is the soil here so abnormal?
As the saying goes: "When things go wrong, there must be a monster!"
There is such dry soil so deep underground. There must be some secret hidden here!
Lin Yan thought so, pulled out the broken knife and held it across his chest, approaching the humanoid object step by step.
Only when he got closer did he finally see the true appearance of this humanoid object.
This is not a living person! Of course, it’s not a dead person either! Because it's not even a person at all!
It only has the shape and appearance of a human being, with the nose, eyes, etc. on its face, but these are all man-made, and it turns out to be a wooden doll.
Seeing this thing, Qiu Lao seemed very excited, and the broken knife trembled slightly in Lin Yan's hand.
Lin Yan asked subconsciously: "Lao Qiu?"
He was too far away from the ground now, so he didn't have to worry about others hearing him.
Qiu Lao calmed down his emotions, but he still couldn't hide his excitement. His voice rang in Lin Yan's heart: "Found it!"
When Lin Yan heard this, he was also shocked. Could this be the "Thousand Changes of Organizations" that he had been looking for? Just such a piece of shit? Suddenly I couldn't help but feel disappointed.
He said uncertainly: "Mr. Qiu, this is..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mr. Qiu continued: "Yes, this is the machine puppet that Mo Shenji made back then."
After Lin Yan listened, he said "Oh" indifferently.
Seeing this, Qiu Lao said: "Don't underestimate this thing! Although it looks tattered now, at that time, a doll like this was equivalent to a strong man in the late stage of the body training realm."
After listening to this, Lin Yan started to pay some attention to this seemingly inconspicuous broken doll.
Late stage of physical training? Doesn't that mean that this doll has similar strength to himself?
Lin Yan asked dubiously: "Is this doll really that strong?"
Qiu Lao said calmly: "That's natural! I think back then, my Momen had so many gadgets that I was rich enough to use them as toys for children."
Lin Yan knew that the old man was recalling the sect's past glory again, but he did not refute him.
He was just thinking that the Mo sect was so powerful back then that it was wiped out by others, so one can imagine how powerful the enemy was. I have inherited the mantle of that cheap master, and just thinking about it makes me feel that I will be under a lot of pressure in the future.
It seems that we still have to find a way to improve our strength quickly!
Then, with a slight glimmer of hope, he asked: "Mr. Qiu, do you think this thing can be used? Become a bodyguard for me or something."
Qiu Lao didn't even think about it, and said directly: "It's useless! How many years have passed, how can something made of wood still move? And we don't have the skills?"
Lin Yan heard this and asked without giving up: "Mr. Qiu, do you know how to cultivate?"
Qiu Lao said impatiently: "I have already said that I am just a sword spirit. Where can I get these things?"
Lin Yan was immediately dejected when he heard this.
Qiu Lao looked at his appearance and suddenly felt a little funny. He lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Now that the machine puppets made by Mo Shenji are here, will he himself be far away?"
When Lin Yan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up again!
