Chapter 390: Uninvited Guest
Mo Xiaozhe walked around the village for a long time, and he found that there was a very strange phenomenon here, that is, there was no sun in the sky, why were the flowers and trees still so dense, and in the yards of those houses, Mo Xiaozhe also found poultry such as chickens and ducks, which made Mo Xiaozhe very surprised, and at the same time very curious, how did this place come about.

Turning around, Mo Xiaozhe turned to the end of the village, and he saw a road at the end of the village, extending straight forward.
Mo Xiaozhe hesitated for a moment, and then set foot on this road, because he was looking for the people of this village, and when Mo Xiaozhe walked down this road for a while, he saw at a glance those people who were busy, and saw those men, women, and children were busy carrying big stones, looking at the seemingly solid stone wall erected in front of him.
And the people in Forget Worry Village also saw Mo Xiaozhe, and all the people stopped what they were doing and looked at this uninvited guest in a daze.
Mo Xiaozhe saw a lot of things in the eyes of these people, because there was horror, disgust, and ridicule in the eyes of these people.
However, Mo Xiaozhe also knew that he was not a local person, so he didn't care about this, but politely stepped forward and asked:
"What are you doing here?"
Originally, Mo Xiaozhe just asked casually, but the reactions of these people in front of him really puzzled Mo Xiaozhe.
As soon as these people heard the question Mo Xiaozhe asked, they immediately became nervous, and all the men leaned over, seemingly wanting to fight with Mo Xiaozhe.
But these people waited nervously for a long time, Mo Xiaozhe didn't make any next move, and one of the middle-aged men who looked like the village chief asked timidly, "Aren't you here to destroy our stone wall?" ”
When Mo Xiaozhe heard what the man asked, he immediately laughed.
"Why should I destroy your stone wall, I'm just curious to ask, if you don't want to answer, forget it, why are you so defensive of me?"
The man who looked like the village chief stared at Mo Xiaozhe and found that Mo Xiaozhe had no intention of destroying the stone wall.
"I don't know where the little brother came from? Could it be from the other side of the sea? ”
The village chief asked curiously.
Mo Xiaozhe smiled awkwardly, he didn't want to tell the village chief that he fell from the sky, because he was afraid that the village chief would think he was lying, after all, these people seemed to be very conservative, and they were all mortals, and there was no trace of immortal cultivators on their bodies.
"Yes, I did come from the other side of the sea, but my boat was overturned by the sea breeze while drifting across the ocean, so I had to stop at you."
As soon as the village chief heard what Mo Xiaozhe said, he saw that Mo Xiaozhe's expression was not a little malicious, and he immediately became enthusiastic about Mo Xiaozhe.
"Little brother, welcome to Forget Worry Village, I am the village chief of Forget Worry Village, my name is Wu Gang, I don't know what the little brother's name is?"
"My name is Mo Xiaozhe, village chief, what are you doing here? Why build a stone wall of this height? ”
Mo Xiaozhe asked, pointing to the stone wall.
Wu Gang smiled and said: "No way, it's about to be May, this sea of worries is going to rise again, in order to prevent the sea water from washing away the village, we have to build a stone wall here every year to resist the ravages of the sea." ”
Mo Xiaozhe was stunned, he wondered in his heart, why should one be built every year, could it be that this stone wall would have to be demolished after the sea water receded?
With this question, Mo Xiaozhe asked, "Village Chief, didn't you build a stone wall here last year?" ”
The village chief nodded and said, "It was built, but it was demolished later." ”
Mo Xiaozhe didn't understand at this time, so he asked: "Why do you have to demolish it after it is built?" ”
The village chief said: "There is no way, this road is the shortest way to the sea of forgetting, if the stone wall is not removed, then we need to go around a long distance to go out to sea to fish, it is very inconvenient, and every year only after the tide of the sea of forgetfulness is low, we will go out to sea to fish, before May, we have nothing to do, so every year after the low tide, the stone wall will be demolished, and then go out to sea to fish, and then the stone wall will be built in the next year." ”
Mo Xiaozhe nodded and said: "You are indeed very hardworking, but I want to ask, why don't you move away, even if you don't move away, at least the house should be built on a higher place, so that you can avoid the danger of being invaded by the sea?" ”
But the village chief listened to Mo Xiaozhe's words and shook his head vigorously.
"No, we can't leave here, and even if we leave, there's nowhere to go, little brother, you don't know, you came from the Sea of Forgotten Worries, you don't know about this, you see, follow this road in the direction of the village, there is a big mountain about a hundred miles across the village, called Forget Worry Mountain, there are many fierce beasts in that mountain, once our people also tried to hunt some, but all of them went and never returned, from that day on, we didn't dare to go out again."
When Mo Xiaozhe heard the words of the village chief, he thought in his heart that he would definitely not be able to get out so easily when he came to this place, he must complete a certain task, or do something before he can go out, which may be a test set by the owner of the Forgetting Worry Tower.
"Village Chief, when I came here just now, I saw that you seemed to be very afraid that I would destroy your stone wall, could it be that someone has ever destroyed your stone wall?"
Mo Xiaozhe asked deliberately, just to find out if someone had been here before him.
The village chief sighed and said: "Yes, more than ten years ago, there was indeed a person who suddenly appeared here like the little brother, but this person was very cruel, when he found us, we were also building a stone wall, originally we thought that he was from the same side of the sea as the little brother, but this man saw us, immediately attacked us, killed more than 30 people in our village in a row, and then stopped, and also knocked down our stone wall, that time the sea completely washed away the village, we have no way to survive, I thought of hunting in the mountains, but because I had no hunting experience, most of the people who went there died in the mountains. ”
After listening to the words of the village, Mo Xiaozhe was very puzzled, because the appearance of the village chief was no more than forty years old at most, and more than 30 people were killed more than ten years ago, so why was the village chief okay, and Mo Xiaozhe looked up at the people who were busy moving stones in the distance, and probably counted almost 20 people, so why didn't that person kill all these people at the beginning, and that person went there in the end?
Mo Xiaozhe wanted to ask the village chief, but he was afraid that the village chief would think that he was plotting wrong, so he asked sideways: "Village chief, what happened later?" Where did the man go? ”
