But Cheng Jie gritted his teeth, "stepped on~" step by step, slowly walked forward, sweat dripping down~, but his eyes were still looking straight ahead without the slightest wavering.

Cheng Jie walked for a long time like this, walked to a lush grass that blocked his vision, stretched out his hand and broke it hard, and stepped in.

"Wow~"

Cheng Jie stumbled, his body instantly crossed the grass, and his chest fell straight to the ground, making him feel painful.

"What's the matter, it turned out to be a small stumbling bush, so oblique!"

Cheng Jie looked back and scolded and complained.

It turned out that the grass in front of him, the vines underneath were intertwined, and the sloping section behind the grass was missing, which looked like a stumbling block in the ground, a typical stumbling bush.

Such a stumbling bush made Cheng Jie, who was already tired and hungry, suddenly angry after falling, and stroked his arms, he wanted to teach him a hard lesson, this 'guy' in front of him.

But at this time, Cheng Jie casually tilted his head, and the afterglow of his gaze swept a scene slightly, which made him just about to wave his arm towards the bushes.

Immediately after, he turned his head suddenly, rubbed his eyes, and looked at it intently, causing his body to stiffen instantly, and then tremble slightly.

"This~ This has finally arrived? What a town! ”

Cheng Jie looked at the neatly arranged houses about a kilometer away in front of him, and suddenly, he felt a feeling of tears, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and instantly left the grass that had just tripped over him behind.

His already exhausted body seemed to surge with energy, causing him to run forward quickly!

This was originally a distance of nearly a thousand meters, and Cheng Jie only took a few minutes to run in front of the town.

But when he ran to the town not far away, he woke up from the excitement and hot-headedness, and stood quietly on a cobblestone path leading to the town, looking at the town with a faint gaze.

"How can it be so quiet, there is not even a sound, and there is no one on the road!"

It turned out that Cheng Jie, who was close to the town, also quickly discovered the abnormality of the town, which made him unbearable, and the tired and hungry state began to analyze it calmly.

Originally, Cheng Jie looked at the town from a distance and didn't see anything abnormal, but when he came closer, he felt that something was deeply wrong.

Because this town is too peaceful, Cheng Jie didn't hear any sound from the town from the beginning of standing here, but the strangest thing is that this extremely quiet town, streets or houses, although very old.

But there is not too much garbage such as fallen leaves, the houses near the street, except for a few pieces that are a little damaged, have no traces of damage, and the windows are sealed by wooden boards, which makes Cheng Jie feel very weird.

After all, the town has suffered for nearly 10 years, and the fish monster has wreaked havoc, but the streets and houses are still so undamaged, which makes it difficult to figure out what is going on.

"Forget it, it's useless to dream here, it's better to go in and have a look."

Cheng Jie watched for a long time, but couldn't see that something was wrong, and after some 'protests' that he couldn't suppress his stomach, he made this decision, and walked slowly along the edge of the trail cautiously.

"Whew~ I hope the house is not inhabited, those hateful fish monsters, otherwise I can only fight hard."

After walking into the town along the path, Cheng Jie held a pointed stone with two palms in his hand, looked at a somewhat simple house nearby, and muttered to himself.

He took a deep breath, glanced around, and walked like a thief with a light step, but as soon as he walked in front of the house, a noisy voice of men and women came to his ears.

"Tomorrow is the day of sacrifice, this month is our family's turn, what should we do!"

"yes, we can't-"

Squeak~

After Cheng Jie heard the human voice, he was overjoyed, he didn't see the branches under his feet clearly, and inadvertently, he stepped lightly and made a crisp sound.

Although this sound is not loud, it is still very clear in such a quiet environment, so that the sound that was still discussing is stopped.

Seeing this, Cheng Jie decided not to hide anymore, walked gently to this room, in front of the thick wooden door, stretched out his hand and knocked gently, and whispered: "I am a tourist in distress, can you let me in and do it?" ”

Stomp~Squeak~

It's just that after a while, there was some messy footsteps inside, and then the wooden door was slowly opened a crack, and a somewhat dim orange-yellow fire light was transmitted out, and then a middle-aged woman with yellow muscles and thin muscles stretched out her head from the crack in the door, looking at Cheng Jie, her eyes flashed with surprise and more joy.

"Come in and talk!"

Cheng Jie opened his mouth to speak, and he heard the woman's eager voice, and the woman leaned out and stretched out her hand to grab him.

Cheng Jie didn't dodge, and was easily pulled in by the woman, but the stone in his hand was a little tighter!

Squeak~

After Cheng Jie entered, the wooden door was closed again, and the only light in the town disappeared in an instant, and it became that quiet state again, and after he entered, he saw the layout of the house, which was very simple with a few cushions, and the small fire that emitted firelight, located in the center of the hall, hung an iron pot the size of a basketball, and the iron pot was surrounded by black ash.

But after Cheng Jie entered, he just glanced around with his eyes, and then landed on the three people standing in front of him.

These 3 people, in addition to the woman who pulled Cheng Jie in, the other 2 people were an honest-looking man, with a goose egg face and a cute girl.

While Cheng Jie looked at them, the three of them also looked at him, the man's eyes at the beginning were like the first time that the woman saw Cheng Jie's gaze outside the house, as for the girl, in addition, there was an obvious joy in the eyes of Cheng Jie.

"Ahem~"

In just a few breaths, the man's eyes became a little indifferent, and he coughed lightly twice, and the two women beside him also put away their eyes in a panic.

Then, the man spoke: "This little brother, my name is Batu, these two are my daughter and wife, Alice and Yuna, I don't know how you got here, little brother?" ”

"Oh, my name is Cheng Jie, I was originally a noble young master on a merchant ship, but the merchant ship was ransacked by a group of pirates, and I was caught by this group of pirates, and they wanted to use me to blackmail my father.

But unexpectedly, when the pirate ship encountered the pursuit of the navy and was blown up to the point of almost sinking, it sailed into a foggy sea, I showed them not to pay attention, cut off the handcuffs, stole a small boat, and ran away, but I didn't want to get lost at sea, and then, even more weakly, I encountered a big wave, and the small wooden ship was overturned by such a shot, and I also passed out, and I woke up and came here. ”
