Chapter 1497: Inquire about the news

Lin Yu didn't speak, he stretched out his hand and pointed not far ahead.

Tao Chuang glanced in the direction Lin Yu pointed, and saw some yellow points of light through the dense vegetation branches and leaves.

Tao Chuang's expression suddenly perked up, and he said to Lin Yu with some excitement, "Captain He, where there is a light in front, it should be that village!"

Originally, he was worried that the visibility in the rainforest was too poor and it would not be easy to find this village, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Lin Yu so coincidentally.

"Let's go to the village and inquire!"

Lin Yu grabbed Sun Xuebing's arm as he spoke, and took Sun Xuebing to continue to jump towards the opposite tree, rushing towards the light.

Seeing this, Tao Chuang also hurriedly followed.

After a few vertical jumps, Lin Yu reached the bright front, he brushed aside the leaves on the tree and looked down, only to see that there was indeed a small village with a small area below.

It's not so much a village as a tribe.

I saw that the village was very backward and primitive, the houses were all made of trees and thatch, and the houses were shining with dim yellow light, obviously lit with candles.

However, it may be because of the late hour, there are not many bright houses at this time, most of the houses are dark, and many villagers may have already slept and rested.

In the open space in front of one of the huts, four or five dark-skinned men sat around a large rock playing cards, and two or three women sat on the periphery watching, occasionally stirring candles with wooden sticks in their hands.

Not far away, several children were squatting on the ground and laughing, holding several realistic toy guns in their hands.

And next to a stone in front of the entrance of the village, an old man with a hunchback was sitting on the ground and sharpening a heavy kitchen knife.

"You're talking about this village?!"

Lin Yu frowned, his expression was a little strange, as if he couldn't believe that there were still such backward villages in this society.

"Yes, this is it, there is only this village on this road!"

Tao Chuang nodded and said, "The other villages have already moved away, and only a very small number of people who don't want to leave have stayed, maybe they are used to living here!"

"What is there to leave in this place, the primitive tribes over there in North Africa are like this!"

Sun Xuebing also muttered, not understanding why anyone likes to live in such a backward place.

"But that's fine, if they leave, who will we ask for news, let's go, Captain He, go down!"

Tao Chuang said to Lin Yu, and then without waiting for Lin Yu to answer, he jumped down directly.

"Hey......"

Lin Yu seemed to want to say something, but Tao Chuang had already jumped below, walked straight towards the hunchbacked old man who was sharpening his knife at the entrance of the village, and shouted when he opened his mouth, "Uncle, it's so late, and you're still sharpening your knife!"

The old man who sharpened the knife didn't seem to hear, and still sharpened his knife on his own.

Tao Chuang saw that this uncle couldn't hear himself, so he immediately raised his voice and shouted loudly, "Uncle, did you hear me?!"

After he finished shouting, the old man who sharpened the knife stopped what he was doing, looked up at Tao Chuang, frowned and asked, "Are you......?" Hot summer people?!"

The old man spoke Chinese, but it sounded a little awkward.

Several men and women playing cards on the side also seemed to notice this, turned their heads to look at Tao Chuang, and muttered a few words in an incomprehensible language.

A few children squatting on the ground playing were not affected in the slightest and still played on their own.

Seeing this, Lin Yu immediately jumped down from the tree with Sun Xuebing and walked behind Tao Chuang.

Tao Chuang hurriedly said to the hunchbacked old man, "Yes, uncle, we are from the Yanxia side and go to the town ahead to do something!"

"Hot summer people! good people! good people!"

When the hunchbacked old man heard this, he immediately smiled, gave Tao Chuang and Lin Yu a thumbs up, and then said, "You wait, I'll go and bring you water!"

As he spoke, the old man wiped his hands on his clothes, got up and walked quickly towards the thatched hut.

"Uncle, don't need it, let's ask about something and leave!"

Tao Chuang hurriedly shouted, but before he finished speaking, the old man had already entered the house.

Tao Chuang shook his head helplessly and smiled, and said to Lin Yu, "Because this place is close to our border, the people here often have some business contacts with our domestic people, such as the candles and plates they use, everything is bought in the market near our border, and the people in our camp often deal with them, exchanging some prey and living materials, so they have a good impression of the Yanxia people, in order to facilitate communication, they will also learn some Chinese!"

Lin Yu nodded, glanced at the children and men and women playing cards not far away, and did not speak.

"Come, come, drink saliva!"

Soon, the hunchbacked old man walked out of the house, holding a tray made of bamboo in his hand, with three bowls of water on it, and handed it to Tao Chuang and Lin Yu, smiling brightly, with a simple and honest smile.

"Hehe, no need, uncle, let's inquire about some news, and we'll leave immediately!"

Tao Chuang smiled and waved his hand.

"Drink, drink, Yanxia people, good people!"

The old man said with a smile on his face, and enthusiastically sent the water in his hand forward again.

"Thank you, then you're welcome!"

Sun Xuebing, who was bleeding and dehydrated from his injury, was already thirsty, and he couldn't hold back any longer, so he staggered forward and reached out to grab the water in the tray.

But at the moment when his hand almost touched the edge of the porcelain bowl, there was a muffled "bang", and the tray in the old man's hand was instantly kicked over!

Sun Xuebing was startled, turned his head to look, and found that it was Lin Yu who kicked over the tray in the old man's hand!

However, Lin Yu didn't stop after kicking the tray, and suddenly rushed to the hunchbacked old man, and grabbed the old man's throat.

"Ahh

The old man was so frightened that his body shook violently, the whites of his eyes rolled, he almost fainted, his mouth was wide open, and he looked at Lin Yu in front of him in horror.

Crash!

Seeing this, several men and women with big names not far away stood up, pointed at Lin Yu with annoyed faces, and shouted something, as if signaling Lin Yu to let go.

Sun Xuebing and Tao Chuang were also stunned when they saw this scene, and looked at Lin Yu with surprise on their faces, not knowing what happened to Lin Yu all of a sudden.

Tao Chuang was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, hurriedly rushed to Lin Yu, grabbed Lin Yu's arm, and said urgently, "Captain He, what are you doing!"
