Yuan Muye carefully observed the situation in the village at this time, and found that the village still respects the law of life at sunrise and sunset, and most of the people in the village make a living from farming.

The man who brought him into the village was called Ah Lang, and he said warmly to Yuan Muye as he walked, "Because our village is remote, there have been no outsiders for a long time, don't worry, even if Uncle Lin is not at home, it's okay, since you have come to Gongyan Village, we will definitely treat you well." ”

Yuan Muye said politely when he heard this, "Then it's troublesome Brother Lang!" ”

When Alang heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Uncle Lin and I are both villagers in the same village, and his relatives are my relatives, so there is no trouble or trouble!" ”

While speaking, Ah Lang took Yuan Muye to a mud house and said, "This is Uncle Lin's house, you go into the house to rest for a while, and I will go back and ask your sister-in-law to prepare some food and send it!" ”

Yuan Muye looked at the earthen house at this time, and found that the door was tied with a piece of hemp rope, so he said curiously, "Don't we usually lock the door in our village?" ”

Ah Lang smiled when he saw it, "It's not a secret, every family in our village doesn't have a good time, and there is really nothing to steal at home, plus they are all villagers who know the roots, so they have never locked the door...... The door was tied with hemp rope because it was fearing that animals would come in and eat the mats. ”

Yuan Muye didn't expect that the village style of Gongyan back then would be so simple, if that disaster hadn't happened here, it should be regarded as a paradise......

After Ah Lang sent Yuan Muye to the Lin family, he left in a hurry, leaving Yuan Muye alone in the house, thinking about how he should leave. Although he knew that the catastrophe was about to happen here, he didn't know the specific time, so he had to find a way to get out quickly, otherwise it would be difficult to say what would happen to him trapped here once the disaster happened.

It was a fluke that he was able to get out of that hotel last time, because Yuan Muye still doesn't know how he returned to the past at that time, and how he came back after that? Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Aaron walk in with some food.

"I'm so embarrassed! We have limited conditions here, so we can only serve some coarse tea and light rice to the guests. Aaron said with some shame.

Yuan Muye looked down and saw that the wooden basin in Ah Lang's hand actually contained a few of the kind of sweet potatoes that Ah Mu had dug on Luoxia Peak before, so he was curious, "Is this what you planted yourself?" ”

When Alang heard this, he shook his head and said, "Our grain harvest here is not good every year, and these sweet potatoes are dug in the mountains, although they are wild, they taste good!" ”

Of course, Yuan Muye couldn't eat the food in this space, so he deduced that he would put it here first, and he would eat it together after the Lin family's father and son came back in the evening. Then he chatted with Alang and asked him about the situation in the village.

Ah Lang told Yuan Muye that the harvest of crops in Gongyan Village has not been good over the years, and there will be patches of dead at every turn, and they have also asked farmers from other villages to see what is going on, but they can't find the reason why the crops are inexplicably dead......

Yuan Muye remembered at this time that their village was a divine envoy who could communicate with monsters, so he asked tentatively, "I heard Uncle Lin say before that there is a very powerful divine envoy in your village, and even he doesn't know the reason for this kind of thing?" ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Yuan Muye's words came out, Ah Lang's face changed, but he immediately sighed and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with Uncle Lin, he even told you these things...... To tell the truth, in the early years of our village, there was indeed a divine envoy who took us to worship the gods in the mountains, praying that the mountain gods would bless the wind and rain every year, and the villagers would be safe and healthy. At that time, although life was also hard, there was never a case of crops dying. ”

Yuan Muye saw that this Ah Lang seemed to be very convinced of the divine envoy, so he casually asked, "What about the divine envoy now?" ”

When Aaron heard this, he sighed again and again, "Originally, everything was fine, but just a few years ago, the Divine Envoy suddenly died due to an accident, and this happened so suddenly that he died before he could elect the next Divine Envoy!" Although the villagers also selected a few people to take over as the gods, they all failed because they could not communicate with the gods. ”

"Accidents? What kind of accidents? Yuan Muye asked.

Speaking of the accident that year, Alang felt sorry...... It turned out that many villagers in Gongyan Village felt that life in the village was too hard, so they left the village one after another and went to the world outside the mountains to earn a living.

Some of these people have not been heard from since, while others have returned to the village with the money they have earned from outside, and they have lived an enviable life. And it is precisely these people who have earned money from outside and come back that they have begun to trumpet how good life outside the village is, and even say that they have already believed in new gods outside, so they will live a good life now.

Gradually, the people in the village began to slowly waver, and more and more people no longer believed in the mountain gods that their ancestors had worshipped for generations, and wanted to go outside to see the bigger world and worship more powerful gods......

When the oracle learned about this, he went from house to house to stop it, saying that although life in the village was hard, it could keep us healthy and worry-free...... But at that time, the villagers had long been blinded by greed, and where could they still listen to the words of the divine envoy, and some people even swept the divine envoy out of the house.

The accident happened when the oracle tried to stop several families from leaving, but was accidentally scratched by one of the villagers while pulling, and the villager turned around and ran away in fright when he saw that he had hurt the oracle, and never returned...... The Divine Envoy died of his injuries a few days later.

Without the divine messenger, the remaining villagers in the village could not communicate with the gods at all, and the crops that had grown well began to die one after another, and it was also from that time on...... They stopped believing in the gods of the mountains at all.

When Yuan Muye heard this, he asked curiously, "Since the life outside is better than here, why didn't you all move out?" ”

After hearing this, Ah Lang sighed and said, "That's because we think things too simply, we have lived here for generations, and we have never seen the outside world, of course, it feels fresh and interesting, but the people who go out soon find that there are too many wars and diseases in the outside world, which is far less comfortable than living in the village, and the most terrible thing is that the life expectancy of the villagers who go out to live has all decreased a lot for no reason, and even gave birth to a lot of strange diseases that we have never seen...... In order to survive, we had to flee back to the village to live, but compared to before, we did not have the protection of the gods. ”
