Changguang didn't say much, along the way, Changguang just walked calmly on the muddy forest path, didn't look back at Xiu, and didn't stop her steps.

She walked aimlessly, but with firm steps.

She said she didn't have a goal to walk, but she walked so firmly.

Firmly, not looking back at all at the scenery that passed by.

Xiu Shen stepped on the muddy road with one shallow foot, and followed her footsteps with difficulty. This kind of road is really uncomfortable, and the muddy water seeps into the shoes from time to time, making him feel as if the shoes are full of mud.

"How long are we going to go?" Xiu couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know." Changguang replied as a matter of course.

"Are we going to go on like this?" Xiu thought this was a bit ridiculous.

"Yes. Keep going. Changguang replied flatly. She glanced back at Xiu, who was pale, and smiled softly, "Have you lost your patience?" ”

Xiu didn't answer, but he didn't deny it either.

"Actually, I like to walk. I enjoyed the process. Changguang withdrew his gaze and continued to look into the unknown distance.

"Why, obviously I don't have any goal, so aimlessly..."Xiu's feet suddenly softened, he almost fell to the ground, he subconsciously helped the dark, slowly stood up straight, and continued to walk hard.

"Because... There's a way here. Changguang said inexplicably.

"Because... Got a way? Xiu didn't understand what she meant.

"Yes, because there is a road, you can go on confidently. Because as long as you follow the road, or on the way, or at the end, there will be a place for people to live. Changguang's voice seemed a little ethereal. She seemed to be remembering something, and she seemed to be confused about something.

"It is much better to walk with traces than to fly aimlessly and wander like a bird."

Xiu didn't say anything, just listened quietly. He didn't understand what Changguang meant, he only knew that hunger was about to torture him to the point of madness.

Dark raised his head from time to time, took a bite of the leaves of the low bush, and chewed all the way, but he also looked uncomfortable. After all, as a horse, there is so much it can eat.

"You're hungry." Changguang said.

Xiu nodded.

"Rest assured, we should be pretty close to town. Listen closely, you can hear the sound of the bazaar. See, we've come to a big place. Changguang's voice sounded a little brisk, and it seemed that she was in a good mood.

"That's good, isn't it. Walking aimlessly, we finally found the town. It's like walking on the side of the road and accidentally seeing a beautiful flower, or like walking under the night sky and suddenly passing by a meteor. You don't have any expectations, but you always bring you a lot of surprises that make you excited. ”

Xiu didn't listen to Changguang's words at all, he was just thinking about how long it would be before he was from that town.

Changguang seemed to realize something, and smiled apologetically, "Sorry, you should be hungry already." Maybe when people are old, they always talk a lot. I'm sorry that one accidentally said so much to himself. ”

Xiu was happily thinking: You finally realized.

Suddenly, something was thrown at him, and when he scrambled to catch it, he realized that it was a mask with the face of an animal.

The muzzle is raised, and the corners of the mouth and eye sockets are covered with mysterious stripes of red paint, which looks like some kind of totemic thing.

He looked at Changguang, not knowing why.

"Take it with you. Here, your appearance is enough to attract everyone's attention, and that will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. Take this, wrap your cloak and hide yourself, it will be much better. Changguang admonished, "Also, don't speak." Because, the language here is completely different from your language. ”

Xiu obediently put on his mask and pulled on the hat of his cloak.

Walking through the woods, Xiu saw a simple village.

The reason why it is rudimentary is that the face of the village is surrounded by wood, and the entrance is guarded only by a few men in strange robes.

They look strange, especially their hair, which is almost all cut off, with only a small clump of hair on the top of their heads, tied into a small bunch, which looks rather funny.

Their clothes all looked very loose, as if they were wearing an uncut piece of cloth, except for a belt tied around their waists to secure them. Their pants are also very loose, but it is not difficult to see that their legs are a little bent under the loose trouser legs. It's like stuffing a circle.

And they don't have any beards on their faces, maybe they've all been shaved off. They don't look very old, but they have deep nasolabial folds at the corners of their mouths and the sides of their noses. Their faces were also different from everyone Xiu had seen. And most importantly...... They don't seem to be as tall as Changguang. All the adult men Xiu saw were many, much taller than them, and Xiu's height was hard to even reach their stomachs. But... He seemed to be as tall as a man's waist.

Everything that was so strange was so strange that the strange Xiu suddenly realized that he was so out of place with everything in this world.

The men suddenly shouted something loudly, stopped Changguang, and said a series of words that he didn't understand at all, but the meaning of vigilance was very obvious.

Everything is strange. Strange language, strange clothes, strange people. Even the land is unfamiliar.

Changguang said something calmly, and then casually took something out of his arms and stuffed it into their hands.

The men looked the two of them up and down with scrutinizing eyes, and pointed to what Xiu said.

Changguang replied for a long time, and after finishing speaking, the men withdrew their wary gazes, glanced at Xiu sympathetically, and let them in.

Xiu walked through the simple village gate and entered the village.

The feeling for repair is ......

It's very simple.

The houses are made of wood, and the streets are largely unmanicured, potholed, full of mud and stagnant water. But the buildings are quite far apart, so the streets are spacious.

Within two steps, the men guarding the door ran back, grabbed Xiu's hand, put a piece of white dough that had been bitten in half, and said something sincerely.

Xiu was a little stunned, he didn't know what he said. But nodding is right.

He nodded. The man patted him on the shoulder and turned back to his post.

"Changguang, what did you say......"

"Don't talk, let's talk when we enter the hotel."

They didn't have long to walk, and they were led by Changguang into a room that looked large but somewhat dilapidated.

Lifting the curtain hanging from the doorway, she casually placed something on the table at the front desk, and two equally strangely dressed women came out, one with them to the stable at the back of the house, and the other into the low house.

They walked into a hallway filled with white, coarse paper-like stuff to separate them. Suddenly they stood by a wall, and...

In Xiu's surprised eyes, he pulled the wall apart, revealing a room.

It was amazing, Xiu couldn't help but think so.

The woman bowed, and then retreated and departed. Changguang led Xiu into the small room.

"Is this where you live...... This village has always felt amazing. Xiu asked curiously.

"Yes. Strictly speaking...... This land is my hometown. You may think it's a shabby place, but it's not a village anymore, it's a town, and it's a thriving town. Changguang looked out the window, and the sparse pedestrians on the street said quietly.
