158: Snow-white village
The man jerked over the map, then looked at the two of them with inquiring eyes.
Wu Chushi saw that he was reacting, and opened his mouth to talk to him in the language on the map, but this time, the man understood and took the initiative to respond, using the language on the map.
"He promised to take us to the village tomorrow. After the two talked, Wu Chushi wiped off some words on the ground that were not yet pronounced with a tree branch and explained to Lu Cheming.
"In the past, the people were driven away by him and the people in the village using fog and other means, they were really tenacious, and they were killed directly as prey, and in the past five days, his group of people was responsible for driving away outsiders, and he followed us since we were separated from Tianyi, and the "squeak" we heard was the cry of his team imitating the most ferocious beast here. ”
Later, when he saw that the two of them were really difficult, he appeared in person and wanted to hunt them down, but it ended up in their hands, and the man was called Tatu, who was the fastest person in the village to chase the enemy, and his skills were also in the top five.
Later, the chase was too fast, and the fog was related, so the companion didn't catch up, but there had been such a situation before, and the companion was very relieved to let him complete the hunt alone.
The hunt is cruel, but they strictly prohibit outsiders from discovering the village, which has been isolated from the world for too long, and there will be too many restlessness and danger factors to have contact with the outside world, and it is inevitable that there will be some ill-intentioned people who will be detrimental to their village, because the village hides treasures that have not yet been announced to the public.
Tatu was surprised that Wu Chushi knew their language, because their language should not be spread out according to reason, but with such a layer of communication, coupled with Wu Chushi's clear pronunciation of their words, which was quite standard, and he also knew the purpose of their coming to the island, Tatu gradually let down his guard and told them the general situation of the village very closely, but when Wu Chushi mentioned whether there were outsiders living in it, he shook his head and denied it.
"There are no outsiders in the village, but this map is drawn in the village, and the last place we want to go is also the center of the village," Lu Cheming asked as he captured the information point.
Wu Chushi continued to communicate with Tatu and described her impression of Grandpa Lu, but Tatu shook his head and said that there was no such person in their village.
"Tomorrow I will go to the village to see the situation and sleep for a while, I am very tired today. Lu Cheming took her into his arms and let her lean on his shoulder.
"Hmm. Wu Chushi turned to Tatu to say that he was going to sleep, Tatu nodded, and after Wu Chushi fell asleep, the two men looked at each other, but the language was incomprehensible, and there was no way to communicate, Lu Cheming looked at him, looked at the rope in his hand, stretched out his finger, made a pulling gesture, and signaled to help him untie it.
Tatu tilted his head, rolled his eyes for a moment, then stood up and sat in front of him, Lu Cheming helped Wu Chushi fix the position of his head, and reached out to help Tatu untie the rope.
Just thinking about the situation in the village, I didn't pay attention to the hand he put in front of him that was still tied in front of him.
Tatu had never been so in contact with an outsider, and he had taken him in for a while, and he did not force himself to be untied for a moment.
Seeing that Lu Cheming helped him untie the rope that bound him, Tatu suddenly smiled, and reached out and touched his head like an adult, Lu Cheming was stunned, knowing that he was showing goodwill, but he did not resist.
It's just that he is also a man, and it always feels a little weird to be touched by him like this.
The groggy night passed quickly, and the next day should have been six o'clock in the morning, the rain outside stopped on time, Wu Chushi woke up, and after a simple wash with Lu Cheming, he followed Tatu in the direction of the village.
The route Tatu took them gradually matched the markers drawn on the map, and after some time, the two followed him into another cave, all the way inside, passing through a fork in the road, and gradually the light behind them was swallowed up by darkness, and the circle of light in front of them became brighter and brighter.
Wu Chushi and Lu Cheming held hands, squinted their eyes, and walked out of the cave with Tatu's pace, and what came into their eyes was snow-white.
Yes, the snow is white, the branches and leaves of the grass, a white expanse, like a snowy scene, but you don't feel the cold, even the tree trunk is white, which makes people feel magical and dare not step here.
Because this place is too dreamy, pure, like a fairyland, to give outsiders a kind of as long as they do not belong here, if they step into it, they will stain this place.
Wu Chushi reacted at this time, since even the environment here is such a color, it is no wonder that Tatu's complexion is different from ordinary people.
Tatu turned his head sideways and introduced the village to Wu Chushi, no one has ever been able to find this place, and in order not to let others find this place, the fork in the cave just now, only those of them who have to go out to deal with outsiders know.
Here and outside the rainy day is completely different from the two extreme worlds, the outside is dark and frightening, the inside is warm and intoxicating, although there is also a light rain in the air, the smell of nature is full of nose, but the light here is much brighter than the forest they have walked all the way.
It's just a dream world.
Men and women walked and worked in the path full of crops, and the sound of laughter came from time to time, peaceful and warm.
When Tatu saw him, several people immediately came up to greet him, their clothes were all wrapped in black strips of cloth around their bodies, covering the key parts, and they all had red balls on their foreheads, and the women's lips were clean, but the men's mouths were painted with a thick layer of purple.
The conversation between them was much faster, Wu Chushi could understand it, knew what they were saying, and immediately covered her mouth and hid behind Lu Cheming to snicker, so as not to let herself be abrupt.
"What's wrong?" Over there, Tatu was introducing Lu Cheming and the two to his companions, and here Lu Cheming asked what the little woman behind him was snickering.
"Guess why here are men wearing "lipstick" instead of women. Wu Chushi winked at him mysteriously.
"Isn't the aesthetic different? Even the length of the hair is reversed. Lu Cheming was puzzled, he had no clue, he couldn't guess why, at a glance here, women all had casual short hair, but men had long hair.
"The hair is their own decision, and I tell you, Tatu is being laughed at by his companions, thinking that his first kiss has been taken away. "There are more men and fewer women here, and a man's first kiss is as precious as the first time in the body, and in a single state, a man's lips are smeared with that layer of purple, representing his own purity.
Men show their preciousness and purity by having their first kiss, and that layer of purple is something to be proud of, which is generally erased only after the chosen partner is married.
And Tatu's purple was erased by them while he was anesthetized and fell asleep, and they didn't have to make up for it, and when his companions saw the color of his lips, they thought that he had been robbed of his first kiss at a young age, and they were laughing at him.
After all, Tatu is one of the top five "warriors" in the village, and most of the women in the village are obsessed with him, and it is not easy for Tatu to keep his first kiss for so many years.
Tatu explained to his companions, and then introduced his companions to the two, Wu Chushi greeted them happily, only thinking that the customs and habits here were quite interesting, which deeply attracted her attention.
During the introduction, suddenly a figure came quickly, pulling Tatu to leave, the eyes of the person who came were vigilant, and the visit of Wu Chushi and Lu Cheming was very unpleasant, and the words probably meant that the village chief wanted to talk to Tatu.
Tatu could only say goodbye to Wu Chushi in a hurry and ask his companion to take care of the two outsiders.
"I think this place is very interesting, the white here is really pure white, there is no pollution, the man here drops his first kiss and the woman outside has no first time, and he will be disgusted. Wu Chushi chuckled, talked a few more words with the few friends left by Tatu, and then said to Lu Cheming.
While several people were talking, Lu Che was suddenly attracted by a figure passing not far away.
He looked fixedly, his eyesight was very good, but he was not sure for a while, Wu Chushi followed his gaze and saw an old man dragging a box on the field path.
"That's ......" Wu Chushi only felt that the old man's side face was a little familiar, and he was about to speak out, but was interrupted by a few of Tatu's friends.
They were going to take the two of them to the village chief, and the old man was gone.
Wu Chushi and Lu Cheming retracted their gazes, and followed a few people to the village chief, which was the last stop on the map, marking the center of the village as the end.
I thought that the village chief would be an old man, but I didn't expect it to be a woman in her twenties who was about the same age as Tatu.
The woman's face was clean, with snow-like skin, and a pair of eyes looked at Wu Chushi and the two of them back and forth, and then opened her mouth to talk to Wu Chushi in their language.
Wu Chushi roughly explained that the purpose of her and Lu Cheming's visit was to find the relics on the map that was likely to be left by their grandfather, and took out the map for her to see, the woman's eyes widened suddenly, and she immediately gave an order, and Tatu turned around and left.
It was also when Wu Chushi and Lu Cheming were confused, and Tatu quickly rushed into the house again, with a person behind him.
The old man glared, and when he saw that he let go of himself, he immediately threw a fist on his head, "Get out of ......"
After a rolling word, the language of the village was followed, but Wu Chushi and Lu Cheming were stunned.
The person who came was the old man who the two of them felt familiar with just now, and his fluffy white beard was exactly the one in Wu Chushi's memory, but after so many years, the old man even had his hair turned white, and although it was not difficult to see that he was handsome and extraordinary when he was young, he was already old, but his face was ruddy, and he was even more energetic.
"Grandpa......"
"Professor......
The two shouted in a daze, and the old man turned his head sharply, only to find that there were two more people in the room...... No, it's not a living person, but a relative who has been reunited for a long time......
