Tang Chengnian couldn't wait for anyone, so he had to shout.

Of course, before shouting, in order not to scare people, she first changed her body, used bone reduction to turn herself into a twenty-year-old woman, and then put on a mask of willingness, and changed her face. Otherwise, an eight-year-old girl walking alone would be too shocking. After changing her outfit, she began to call the door.

"Is there anyone here?"

In order to achieve the best effect, and not to scare too many people without knowing whether the residents of this place were cultivating or not, Tang Chengnian had no choice but to use his usual shouting volume to shout door-to-door.

The first one went unanswered.

The second one doesn't have either.

The third ...... She had barely knocked on the door when someone opened it from the inside. It was a little girl with her hair tied up and wearing a dark blue cloth dress. She doesn't look very old, about ten years old, the whole person is delicate and weak, dressed plainly, but she doesn't look like a village girl, but more like a daughter in distress.

The little girl's name is Lu Yuzhuo.

"Shh Lu Yuzhuo beckoned to her cautiously, "Little sister, don't shout anymore, come in first." ”

"What's going on?"

"I can't say here, if you come in first, my mother will sue you." Lu Yuzhuo looked scared, "The door of my house can't be opened for too long...... You have to close it quickly, you must not speak again, if you are curious, ask my mother. ”

Seeing that this little girl was really about to cry, Tang Chengnian didn't want to embarrass her, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll come in, don't cry." ”

When Tang Chengnian came in, Lu Yuzhuo hurriedly closed the door again.

Tang Chengnian followed Lu Yuzhuo into the house.

Lu Yuzhuo's mother also has a literary crepe name, Bai Lanzhu. These two people seem to be people with stories, Bai Lanzhu is terminally ill, and he doesn't see Lu Yuzhuo's father, Tang Chengnian is curious, but he doesn't ask.

She looked at Bai Lanzhu who was coughing thoughtfully, and secretly said in her heart, the people in this world are indeed much more real than the people in the Tower Illusion. The caretaker didn't lie to her, this imaginary world is indeed too much higher than the Tower Illusion.

Lu Yuzhuo saw that Tang Chengnian had been staring at Bai Lanzhu, and couldn't help but misunderstand what she meant, thinking that Tang Chengnian was curious about why Bai Lanzhu was lying here, she said: "This is my mother, she is sick and can only lie on the bed." ”

“…… Oh, I see. Tang Chengnian had already seen it, but he still nodded, showing a sudden realization.

Lu Yuzhuo looked at Bai Lanzhu and saw her stretching out her hand, so he hurriedly walked over and helped Bai Lanzhu to sit up from the bed.

Bai Lanzhu leaned weakly on Lu Yuzhuo's arms, and said weakly to Tang Chengnian: "The girl seems to be a foreigner, why did she come to our Taoyuan Township?" ”

Tang Chengnian replied: "Hello aunt, I am a traveler passing through this place, and my surname is Tang. Because I saw that the sun was on the three poles, and everyone was closed, I was a little curious...... Why is everyone closing their doors? Is it the custom of your land? ”

"No, it's not." Bai Lanzhu shook her head, she sighed, "It seems that the girl is also lucky, she didn't meet those people......"

"Huh? Who do you meet? Tang Chengnian raised his eyebrows and couldn't help asking.

Bai Lanzhu coughed from time to time, so although Lu Yuzhuo swore that after coming in, Bai Lanzhu would explain a qiē, but in fact, she was the one who explained a qiē.

Although Lu Yuzhuo is small, he is already very sensible, and immediately explained the ins and outs of the whole thing clearly.

It turns out that this Taoyuan Township is in a peaceful corner, and it is a peaceful place, where people live and work in peace and contentment, and no one leaves their hometown, so they have a very happy life. However, one day at noon, a man with a weapon came, extremely cruel, he broke directly into a house, and plundered it.

The villagers of Taoyuan Township had never seen such a brutal murderer, and they watched that person escape with the things he had stolen.

However, with the intention of destroying wealth and eliminating disasters, no one chased after it. Everyone raised funds together to compensate the robbed family, and originally, even Bai Lanzhu thought that this qiē had passed.

Who knows, every day after that, there will be a person who will appear, with weapons and similar clothes, pick a random family and go in and loot. If someone dares to resist, they will be killed immediately, and if such things happen more times, no one will dare to resist again. Later, everyone gradually grasped the law, and before noon every day, someone would come with weapons, not necessarily the same person, but definitely the same thing.

"You don't know who is doing this kind of thing?" Tang Chengnian asked.

Lu Yuzhuo shook his head and said very innocently: "I don't know. ”

Bai Lanzhu still sighed on the side: "No one knows what the identity of those people is, bandits or ...... Alas...... However, as long as we do not resist, he will not harm us. Therefore, every day we close the door, as long as that person comes, let him choose a family to loot, as for the loss, everyone can make up for the villager who was robbed. Anyway, that person can't take much with him with a weapon. ”

That's too negative, isn't it? Tang Chengnian thought in surprise.

However, whether it is Lu Yuzhuo or Bai Lanzhu, they seem to feel that this idea is very normal, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"You're just letting them rob you? Taoyuan Township is so big, is there still a shortage of people? "According to Tang Chengnian's thoughts, it shouldn't be! Even if one person has one hand and one hand, it's okay to play group fighting, right? But Taoyuan Township is so big, so many households, so many people, and no one dares to do it? Just watching a person show off his might in his own township?

Lu Yuzhuo said timidly: "He is holding a weapon, very powerful." ”

"Does he have three heads and six arms?" Although Tang Chengnian didn't recognize the people here, he still felt that hatred of iron could not become steel. She had just walked the entire Taoyuan Township! Although Taoyuan Township is not big, it is really not small, and every household is a big house, so there will definitely be no fewer people living there, right? But why is it that everyone is willing to be bullied by a person with a weapon? What about weapons, is there no blacksmith shop in Taoyuan Township? She'd seen one!

Tang Chengnian was half angry to death, however, Lu Yuzhuo still only said timidly: "That person is really powerful." ”

Bai Lanzhu, who was lying in Lu Yuzhuo's arms, coughed and said with difficulty: "Miss Tang, you came from outside, and you don't know how terrible those people are. If you do, you will be like us. ”

"I won't." Tang Chengnian snorted, but did not argue with Bai Lanzhu. Why would she argue with a patient? When the time comes, you can show your skills as much as possible, and let these people know how powerful she is.

However, Tang Chengnian still has a question, if it is not solved, she can't stand it: "Taoyuan Township has been bullied like this, haven't you thought about asking for help?" ”

"Ask for ...... Aid? Lu Yuzhuo didn't understand what she meant.

Bai Lanzhu understood, but she groaned and said helplessly: "Miss Tang, there is a river outside Taoyuan Township...... None of our people here have been able to cross that river, and none of those who have crossed the river have ever returned. As for the rest of the road, it leads to the place from which the man with the weapon came, and it is more risky to go there than to cross the river. ”

In this way, it is a dilemma.

Tang Chengnian is also out of line, any mention she makes, but Bai Lanzhu has fully vetoed it, what else can she say?

Seeing Tang Chengnian's helplessness, Bai Lanzhu couldn't help but apologize and said, "I'm sorry for making you tired." ”

“…… It's nothing. Tang Chengnian was a little deflated, but suddenly remembered something. Isn't there a forest across the riverbank? It was from there that she came from...... "Mori ......"

She opened her mouth and swallowed it herself.

Tang Chengnian had already tried, she couldn't go back to the forest herself, since this imaginary world had made up such a suitable reason for the people in Taoyuan Township to block the two roads, presumably, she also had a design for the forest. Why should she bring shame upon herself? Even if you ask, it is estimated that it will not be successful.

Now it seems that the secret of this customs clearance is still in the strange organization that always comes to Taoyuan Township with weapons.

Perhaps, if that person comes, she can try to make a move. If she takes one, she'll be able to figure it out.

Thinking of this, the corners of Tang Chengnian's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smug smile.

Bai Yuzhuo stared at her thoughtfully for a while, and asked, "Sister Tang, do you want to eat something?" ”

"Yes, yes, since you came in a hurry, I'm afraid you're already hungry, blame me, I have been dragging you to talk. Don't worry, that person only comes to one place at a time, and we don't have to be afraid of him when we cook and eat at home. After Bai Lanzhu finished speaking, she said to Lu Yuzhuo, "Stir-fry two dishes and entertain this girl." ”

She nodded apologetically to Tang Chengnian again: "Mountains and small lands, coarse tea and light rice, please Miss Tang, don't dislike it." ”

"Why bother!" But Tang Chengnian stood up very nervously, "No need! ”

Bai Lanzhu ignored her, and still instructed Lu Yuzhuo, "You have to remember, re-cook a cup of rice, and don't take those leftover pots." ”

Lu Yuzhuo nodded obediently: "Okay, don't worry, mother, I understand." ”

A trace of pity flashed in Bai Lanzhu's eyes, and she said faintly: "How can I not be at ease? You are so well-behaved, so obedient...... Just stay with me. ”

Tang Chengnian looked at the nose from beginning to end, and the nose looked at the heart. She's here to practice, but she's not here to listen to the gossip of a group of virtual NPCs in an imaginary world. She didn't know what she would experience in this Taoyuan Township, so she naturally didn't want to get too entangled with the people here. If she heard too many of their stories, she was really afraid that she would not be able to bear it in the future. R1152
