Chapter 31: The Little Village
Most of the ancient villages were located at the foot of the mountains, or by the river, or far from the woods, because they had enough supplies to use, and they could resist the invasion of wild beasts.
A horrific incident occurred in a village next to a wooded area.
The eldest son of a family in the village disappeared while he was out hunting, and it was not until three or four days later that the eldest son of the family returned home. However, it was as if he was a completely different person, and he kept talking all day long, but the others couldn't hear what he was saying.
About half a month later, the eldest son of the family died.
From that day on, all the men in the village died one by one, as if they had made a collective appointment, from the seventy-year-old man to the newborn baby.
"Mother, where has my brother gone?" asked a little girl, tugging at the corner of an old woman's clothes, and asked in a milky voice.
"Your brother went far, far away. The old woman stopped what she was doing and took the little girl into her arms.
"When will my brother come back? I miss my brother so much. The little girl played with the strip of white cloth on the old woman's head, and her face was melancholy.
"When you're older, my brother will come back. The old woman comforted that children always have all kinds of problems, and that adults mostly use simple and white lies to perfunctory the past.
"But they said the boys were dead. The little girl's words were like poking the old woman's death hole.
The old woman's eyes instantly turned red, and she looked through the crack in the door as she watched the funeral procession passing by on the street, and the old woman couldn't cry.
The little girl reached out and wiped the tears from the old woman's face, "Why are you crying? ”
The little girl's well-behaved and sensible is the only solace for the old woman in her present state.
The sounds of mourning and wailing were constantly coming from the streets, and if it were normal, many people would feel that they were paying too much, but now, almost every family has someone who has died inexplicably, so naturally there is no strange sound.
Man is a very strange animal, when someone is doing well, we will be jealous of them, and when others are doing worse, we will feel inexplicably excited. However, there is another situation, that is, when everyone is in a predicament and has the same situation, there is a kind of superficial sympathy between everyone.
Xiang Yu took the sword of salvation and originally planned to come to this place to rest, and after a short rest, he continued on the road.
When he arrived not far from the entrance of the village, Xiang Yu encountered a funeral procession, thinking it was an accident, but when a series of funeral processions appeared, Xiang Yu began to be a little confused.
"System, would you like to explain to me what this situation is?" The sword spirit returned to the sword, and Xiang Yu had no one to communicate with. Actually, the main reason is because Xiang Yu can't believe this little thing that came out of nowhere and claims to be a sword spirit.
"Ding, your question is very meaningless. ”
"What do you say?" Xiang Yu looked puzzled, "Before I ask a question, I have to ask myself, does the question have gold content, is there any need to ask?"
"Ding, my time is precious. ”
"Bah!" Xiang Yu slapped his palm on a tree on the side, and the body of the tree trembled violently that should not have happened at all, "It seems that my strength has indeed increased, but why is this?"
"Ding, I'll answer your previous question. The system appeared next to Xiang Yu, and this time, the system became a famous scientist in the West, the great man who was smashed by an apple falling from a tree.
"Are you poisonous, right? Can you become a normal person?" Xiang Yu looked at the system with disgust.
The system looked up at the tree trunk above his head, "Ding, I just think it's more appropriate?"
"With so many funeral teams, how did you become a physicist?"
"Ding, look at it. "The system punches the trunk.
The system's actions made Xiang Yu even more confused, "Are you testing the physicist's physical fitness?"
"Ah, I'm ......" Dozens of apples fell from the trees, some fell to the ground, and some smashed on Xiang Yu's head.
As for the system, it became a penetrable state, the apple tree passed directly through the body of the system and fell to the ground, the system looked at Xiang Yu with a smile on his face, and said:
"Ding, now you know what I mean, right?"
"You're so boring!" Xiang Yu complained.
"Ding, alright, the joke is over, now I'll answer your question. The system spread his hands, "It's clear that someone in their family has died." ”
"I'm meowing, I'm not blind, do I still need you to tell me?" Most of the time, Xiang Yu wanted to blow up the system with one punch.
"Ding, you asked me a question, I explained it to you. ”
The system bent down to pick up a small, ugly, and crumpled apple on the ground, took a bite, and after chewing it in its mouth, swallowed it comfortably.
"Forget it, you eat your apples, COS your physicist, I'd better figure it out myself. ”
"Ding, that's right. ”
Xiang Yu walked towards the village in the distance, leaving the system alone. The system is like a child who has never seen the world, holding the apple tree with both arms, shaking rapidly, and apples continue to fall on the tree, until all the apples on the tree have fallen, and the ground is piled up, the system nodded with satisfaction.
"Ding, nice, nice, freshly picked. The system reached out, and a pile of apples floated in the air, encased in a spherical barrier, "Coupled with my high level of pressing, a perfect cup of apple juice just appeared." ”
The apple rotated rapidly in the energy barrier, and soon turned into powder, and then, a transparent cup appeared under the energy ball "juicer", and the apple juice slowly flowed into the cup, until the cup was almost full, and then stopped.
The apple crumbs above the cup vanished, and the cup flew into the system's hand, and with the Adam's apple squirming up and down, the system raised its head and drank the apple juice from the cup.
"Ding, my life is so boring, hahahahahaha......" The system didn't believe his words, laughed and disappeared.
After Xiang Yu arrived in the village, all the people who saw Xiang Yu looked at Xiang Yu with very strange eyes.
Xiang Yu is like a circus monkey, the only difference is that Xiang Yu's butt is not red, but instead Xiang Yu's palm.
Xiang Yu clenched his fists hard, his nails poked into the flesh of his palm, reminding Xiang Yu at all times that all this was really happening, not a fantasy, let alone a sea market.
An old man who looked to be more than a hundred years old came to Xiang Yu, the old woman was only half as tall as Xiang Yu, her head was tilted high, and she said in an extremely gentle and old voice:
"I've seen you, you're Xiang Yu. ”
"When have you seen me?" Since the old man knew Xiang Yu, he naturally heard a little about Xiang Yu's majestic deeds, so that Xiang Yu could easily solve his doubts.
"When you first left here. The old man's eyes were like torches, and the past flashed in front of her eyes, "I knew at that time that you were not destined to be an ordinary person. ”
"Old man, let's not talk about this for now, I want to ask, what happened in this village?" As soon as Xiang Yu's words fell, the eyes of the surrounding villagers all focused on Xiang Yu.
"Xiang Yu, old man begs you. The old man squared the stick he was holding in his hand and attached it to the ground.
"Old man, what's going on?" Xiang Yu squatted down and wanted to help the old man up, but feeling the obvious resistance of the old man, the old man estimated that he had used his life's strength.
"Help us!"
"Please!"
"Revenge my son......"
The people around him knelt down one after another, more and more people appeared, the surrounding requests continued, and Xiang Yu's inner feeling became more and more entangled.
Xiang Yu's original plan was to rush to the palace, assassinate Liu Bang, and then revive the hegemony. Now it seems that the village must not be able to jump, at least until it is figured out what happened.
"Folks, everyone get up! I'd love to know your questions, but I hope you stay calm first, okay?"
"Blame me, blame me, I'm a little embarrassed for you. "The old man deliberately pretended to want to give up.
The old man's behavior really worked, Xiang Yu felt pity, and his masculinity instantly wrapped his whole body, "No matter what happens, I will definitely help everyone solve the problem, okay?"
The old man stretched out his hand to signal, and everyone got up one after another, no longer embarrassing Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu, under the leadership of the old man, came to the house that was contaminated with the "strange disease" at the beginning. After some understanding, Xiang Yu roughly figured out what happened, and also understood why the old man took him to this family's house.
According to the old man, as well as the family's explanation of the before and after, Xiang Yu can roughly determine that the answer to the question is in the woods, and if you want to solve all these doubts, a trip to the woods must be inevitable.
"Hey, do you want to help them?" Xiang Yu muttered to himself as he went to the toilet.
"Of course I have to help!" The sword spirit suddenly appeared, so frightened that Xiang Yu almost fell into the pit, but fortunately, Xiang Yu was in a hurry and grabbed the wooden pole on the side. If you really accidentally fall into the pit and drown in dung, the failure of the mission is a trivial matter, and Ke Bo, who is attached to Xiang Yu's body, will definitely be ridiculed by the system for a lifetime, and he will be disgusted for a lifetime.
"Why do you all like to pop up out of nowhere?" Xiang Yu hurriedly put on his pants, "Are you all uniformly trained?"
"Who else are we?" the sword spirit's focus caught Xiang Yu off guard.
Xiang Yu deliberately interrupted and made an extremely perfunctory excuse, "There was a little girl just now, and she didn't see if there was anyone inside, so she pushed the door to come in." ”
"Well, if you go to the toilet and get frightened, it's not good for your health. The sword spirit let out a shrill laugh and followed Xiang Yu out of the toilet and came to the door of the house to say goodbye to them.
"Don't worry, if you don't figure out what happened, I, Xiang Yu, will not be a person!"
