Chapter 386: Underground Village
"Stop!"
When he looked at it from a distance, each village seemed to be much brighter than the surroundings, but after getting close enough, Lu Tao found that this much brighter light did not appear, so he didn't see where the warrior who suddenly jumped out with a spear in front of him jumped out.
"Brother Lu, it's me, it's me Tatam!"
Tatam jumped out of the shadows and pointed to his face to the warrior in front of him.
"It turned out to be you, and it took a long time to go out this time, by the way, who is this? People from other villages?" The warrior, whom Tatam called Brother Lu, put away his guard, put his spear at his side, and waved behind him.
After a while, a warrior with a spear came out of the shadows, and the person who came later just raised his eyes to look at Tatamu and Lu Tao, and did not make any superfluous movements.
Tatam said with some excitement: "Brother Lu! He's from outside! It's an outsider from the elders! Let me in, I'm going to take him to see the elders and the village chief!"
"Outsiders?!" The two warriors with spears became nervous again, and the man whom Tatam called Brother Lu was the first to speak: "Tatam, you take him here for a while, I must report to the village chief and elders to decide whether this person can enter our village." ”
"Why?" Tatam seemed puzzled, "isn't our village the most hospitable village in this district? ”
"This is different, anyway, you wait a little longer now, don't go any further!" Brother Lu grabbed the spear in his hand and seemed to be staring at Lu Tao a little nervously.
Lu Tao can understand their nervousness, although it seems that they are all human beings, but even when they are on the earth, human beings are constantly attacking each other, today you fight me, tomorrow I will fight you, as long as there is a slight difference, it will be installed with the argument of "not my race, its heart must be different", nationalism, in the history of mankind has never been eliminated. Not to mention that after the previous Tatam's mouth, Lu Tao knew that the people here were almost not the same race as himself, except for the fact that they looked more similar, the adaptability of the body was completely different.
The warrior known to Tatam as Brother Lu stared at Lu Tao, and another warrior ran into the village, disappearing into the overlapping shadows in a moment. I don't know if he was frightened by Brother Lu's attitude, Tatam also began to fall silent, and didn't say anything to Brother Lu, who seemed to have a good relationship with him.
After a while, another warrior came back with an old man, old
The man had white hair, but he did not look like he was staggering at all, and he followed the warrior as fast as he froze, and did not open up at all.
When he got closer, the old man glanced at Tatamu, and then turned his head to look at Lu Tao: "You are an outsider in Tatam's mouth, how can you prove it?"
"Elder, I can attest that he is not afraid of the sun overhead when he walks outside!" Tatam seemed to become excited again when he saw the old man questioning.
The old man glared at him: "Tatam! Did I ask you a question? Don't talk too much! Look at it carefully! I'll settle accounts with you later!"
Tatam scratched his head, and sure enough, he stopped talking.
So the old man looked at Lu Tao and asked again: "How do you prove that you are from outside?"
Lu Tao also scratched his head, and sure enough, after scratching the air, Lu Tao didn't know how to answer this question, shouldn't this kind of thing be confirmed by the other party? No matter how bad it is, he has to find a place where he can stamp the official seal, so that he can prove that he is a five-good young man from the land of China in the new era.
“...... Because I'm not afraid of the sun?" Lu Tao held back for a long time before he could hold back such a sentence, and then continued: "Or if you have anything about the outside world, you can ask me, I really don't know how to prove this, and I don't know what the difference is with you people who live underground." ”
The old man glanced at Lu Tao again: "Okay, come with me, but the weapon must be handed over first, whether you are from outside or not, as long as there is no malice towards our village, we will treat you as a guest." ”
"Weapon?" Lu Tao was stunned for a moment, and as if he suddenly remembered something, he took out a dagger from his arms.
This dagger was given to him by Chiyou yesterday, and he has been putting it here all the time, and he forgot to return it, of course, the actual situation is that the fire on Chiyou's side is too big, and Lu Tao can't get close at all, and there is no way to return this dagger to him.
The dagger was cold to the touch, I don't know if it was Lu Tao's illusion, he always felt that this dagger seemed to be cooler than before.
Instead, he took the dagger and handed it to the old man, who reached out to pick up the dagger in Lu Tao's hand, but only touched it and retracted his hand. Lu Tao saw it very clearly, and the fingers where the old man was in contact with the dagger were covered with a layer of white frost in an instant, and the old man frowned: "You dagger...... It's enchanted. ”
"What enchantment?" Lu Tao was a little puzzled, but still replied, "This is someone else lent to me, is there something wrong?"
The old man shook his head and withdrew his hand: "Forget it, you can take this dagger yourself, but don't do anything superfluous in the village, I will send it."
People are staring at you. ”
Lu Tao was confused, but he still took back the dagger that Chi You had lent him into his arms.
The village where Tatam was located was surrounded by a ring of wooden fences, which were not thin, but stood on top of each other, supported by large stones on the inside, some of which were slanted inward, as if they had been struck by something from the outside.
Behind the position of the gate, there are two towers higher than the fence on the left and right, and there is a person standing on one of the towers, Lu Tao has not noticed it just now, the person standing in it is holding a bow and arrow in his hand, and seems to be looking into the distance.
The ground in the village is paved with stone slabs, because of the drop, these stone paved roads sometimes become steps one by one, and most of those houses are made of stones, Lu Tao is a little puzzled, he always thinks that this architectural pattern is not the opposite, should the outside fence be made of stone, and the inner house is made of wood, right?
At this time, there were many people in the village who were on the streets, looking for each other, or standing in place and talking, of different ages and genders, they saw the elder passing by, at most they squeezed their eyes at the Tatam behind, but there was no other superfluous movement, and those who were talking also lowered their voices, so it seemed that the status of this elder in the village was very high.
The warrior who was called Brother Lu by Tatam was still following behind him, he was the one who was designated by the old man to monitor Lu Tao, Lu Tao was noncommittal about this, at least when he acted in the village in the future, there was also a person who could lead the way, and now he had found that Tatam seemed to be a little unreliable.
The old man walked halfway with Lu Tao and pointed to a stone house standing on the side of the road: "You live here, there is everything in it, and I will take you to see the village chief tomorrow." ”
Lu Tao nodded, it's good to meet the village chief here, Lu Tao just has a lot of questions to ask him, if he can ask how to get out of here, it would be the best.
Leaving Tatam and his eldest brother Lu, the old man turned around and left the place, and as soon as he left, the half-grown children around him gathered one after another.
"Tatam! Are you finally back! Did you bring anything good with you this time?" asked one of the young men who looked slightly older than Tatam, his gaze only flashing over Lu Tao's face, as if he was not very interested in him.
"Little Tata, did you bring some beautiful jewelry back again? Hehe, can you let my sister take a look?" said a woman who looked to be much older than Tatam, who wanted to touch Tatam's head, but was dodged by Tatam's nimble dodge.
"I'm not a kid, don't touch my head!"
