Several people sat in the banquet and chatted a little, most of them were Zhang Xiaohu and others who asked questions, and the old man answered. Several people also knew a lot of things that were not clear before.

According to the old man, Nanmu Village existed four or five hundred years earlier than Donglu Village, relying on the nearby rich "Land of Bliss" rainforest and not far away "Adjacent Lake", the living conditions are several times better than Donglu Village, but it is also because of the rampant giant beasts in the nearby rainforest, so it is difficult for Nanmu Village to expand and develop, and can only rely on two sacred relics that have been handed down to barely make a living here. The beasts of the forest seldom approached the village, and the villagers only went out to hunt when they needed to, but this delicate balance was never broken.

Zhang Xiaohu didn't understand why in such an environment, Nanmu Village hadn't considered moving out for hundreds of years.

The old man explained that the people here have been accustomed to life here for hundreds of years, as long as they don't leave the village, life is very quiet and peaceful, and the residents of the village help each other like a family, friendly and harmonious.

Zhang Xiaohu doesn't understand this attitude very well, he just thinks that if you live in such a place for a long time, people will lose their pursuits and dreams, and become desireless.

"Grandpa, have you had any outsiders here lately? Like us? Zhang Xiaohu asked.

The old man thought for a while and said: "It seems that there is a person who came over during the last great change, it is a middle-aged man, mysterious all day long, always nesting in his own house and unwilling to contact everyone, he left for a while a year ago, and it seems that he has come back recently, and he should still be in the village now." ”

Zhang Xiaohu was a little curious about this person and wanted to get to know this person.

The old man led a few people to a simple wooden house in the easternmost part of the village. I saw a strange wooden sign nailed to the door frame of the wooden house, which read "Passenger Transport".

The old man stood at the door and shouted, "Old Wang, are you at home?" ”

The old man smiled awkwardly and said, "This person is a little weird, I don't like him very much, you can go in by yourself, I still have to discuss with the villagers how to recover the remains of the dragon god." ”

King Peter said, "Elder, I'll go with you, and I may be able to help you restore the remains!" ”

Yan Dacang also smiled and said, "Little doll, uncle won't accompany you." Go on your own, I'll have to go back and drink some more wine, or my chest will hurt terribly." You can go back to me later. ”

Zhang Xiaohu looked at the few people who were scattered, and knew that except for the three of them, the others had no interest in the people who crossed over, so he took Zhao Zixuan and Li Yichen into the wooden house.

The room was very cluttered and smelled bad. The light was not very good, and in the dim light, they saw a man lying on a bed full of clutter.

"Hello! My name is Zhang Xiaohu, and I'm also from outside, can I talk to you? Zhang Xiaohu asked cautiously.

"What do you say your name is?" A hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

"Zhang Xiaohu, one of my partners is named Zhao Zixuan and the other is Li Yichen, we are students in the same middle school. What era are you from, sir? ”

Suddenly, there was a sobbing sound in the room, and the man jumped up from the bed and said excitedly: "Zhang Xiaohu, I remember this name, you are from Class 8 of the second year of junior high school, so is Zhao Zixuan, and Li Yichen is from Class 9 of the first year of junior high school!" ”

"Who are you?" Zhang Xiaohu was also shocked, this man could know his own and other people's classes, could it?

"I'm the driver, Master Wang!" An unkempt middle-aged man suddenly threw himself in front of Zhang Xiaohu, only to see his face full of dirt, which was full of tears at this time. "Finally someone found me! Finally someone found me! Woooooooo Master Wang cried very sadly.

"Master Wang, it's really you!" Zhang Xiaohu also vaguely recognized the man, only to see that the middle-aged man, who was originally sturdy, was now described as withered, his face was full of wrinkles, his hair was black and white, his eyes were blank and bloodshot, and he looked like he was sixty or seventy years old.

Master Wang cried extremely sadly, looking out of breath, Zhang Xiaohu was really worried that he would faint from being too excited, so he hurriedly comforted him, and it took him a long time to stabilize his mood.

"Why is it just the three of you?" Master Wang looked at the three people in front of him, and his rough hands held Zhang Xiaohu's hand tightly, for fear that they would disappear.

Zhang Xiaohu patiently told everything that happened before, especially how the three of them were separated from everyone at the beginning.

"Alas!" Master Wang sighed softly and said, "You children, you are indeed too bold, why don't you stay with everyone and take care of each other." Now that they're separated, I don't know what happened to those children? ”

"Master Wang, you don't know how excessive those people are!" Zhao Zixuan was a little angry on the side and emphasized.

"It's normal for classmates to have a little conflict with each other, how lucky you are! Unlike me, a lonely person, I have thought about suicide several times over the years, but I think that if I die, I will not have the opportunity to see my girl, I... I just held on! But what is the difference between the way I look and death! ”

"Master Wang, don't be discouraged, let's go look for it together, there must be a way to get out of here! Senior Zhang is a very thoughtful person, and we all trust him! Li Yichen also comforted.

Master Wang looked relieved and replied, "You are all brave children, not bad! ”

"Master Wang, we still have two companions, and we will introduce you to each other later!" Zhang Xiaohu said.

Master Wang took a backpack from his bed and said with a wry smile: "Here are some things I have collected over the years, and I may be able to use them in the future." ”

A few people walked out of the room, Master Wang looked at his residence, and said with emotion: "I always felt that I was living here secretly, and I could live one day at a time, but I didn't think that I would leave now, and I was a little reluctant!" He took down the sign that read "Passenger Transport Everywhere" from the door and followed Zhang Xiaohu back to the elder's residence.

At this time, Yan Dacang was drinking to the fullest, and when he saw Zhang Xiaohu and the others coming back so quickly, he also brought an old man like a beggar, and said with a smile: "Little doll! Why did you bring back a man who asked for food? ”

Zhang Xiaohu introduced: "Uncle, don't talk nonsense, this is Master Wang, the driver of our school, and his own person." ”

Yan Cannon sighed with emotion: "My mother is here!" You can be a driver in this way! What can I do if I go like this? ”

Zhao Zixuan said with a smile: "Uncle, if you go, it's no problem to be a principal!" ”

"Alright, stop making a fuss! Uncle, you're pretty much drunk, aren't you? Zhang Xiaohu looked at Yan Dacan, who was full of alcohol.

"Well, I've had enough of drinking, I'm going to get down to business!" Yan Dacang put down his wine glass and asked, "Little doll, what should we do next?" ”

"We don't have a direction either, I think staying in this Nanmu Village for a few days is just right for you to recuperate, uncle. The rest of us are looking for some other clues in the village, and then we can change things according to the situation. Zhang Xiaohu suggested.

Master Wang said: "The people in this village are very enthusiastic, for so many years, I don't do anything, someone will still give me food every day, and they are very good to me!" ”

Zhang Xiaohu suddenly thought of something and asked, "Master Wang, the elder said that you once left this village and only came back recently, did you find anything outside?" ”

Master Wang sighed slightly: "Xiao Zhang, when you say this, I still remember, the place I went to before was discovered by accident, and that place can be visited, it's really weird!" ”

"What's weird, what's in there?"

"The location of that place is extremely secret, and you have to think twice to get in, but the contents inside seem meaningless!" Master Wang replied.

"What's that?" Yan Cannon's nerves tightened.

"A map carved into the wall, it's so messy that I can't make out what it is?"

"Where's the location?" Zhang Xiaohu asked.

"I can't tell you for a while, I'll take you there!"

Zhang Xiaohu was eager to go to that place, and Master Wang repeatedly emphasized that there was no danger in that place, and the road was not far. Several people in the team discussed it, and finally decided that Peter Wang, Li Yichen, and Yan Dacang would stay in the village, and Zhang Xiaohu and Zhao Zixuan would follow Master Wang to explore the way.

When fighting with the giant python in the Yelang country space before, many items were lost, but fortunately, Zhang Xiaohu's Uzi knife was still there, and Yan Cannon's Mauser gun was not lost, which was finally a blessing in misfortune.

A few people found some more weapons in the village, followed Master Wang out of the village, and walked in the direction of the forest.
