Chu's words brought new hope to everyone, and everyone believed in the words of this mysterious monster, and firmly believed that they would be able to get out of this strange forest in the near future.

Next to the messy stone pile, Ye Mu squatted down, reached out and touched the charred charcoal on the ground, and said with a little surprise: "Someone has made a fire here." ”

"You mean there were living people here?" Qin Aowu said in surprise.

"And there's more than one person, you look at the kernels on the ground." Ye Mu pointed to the messy kernels around the coke and continued: "One person can't eat so much, and he won't lose it so much. ”

"So we could run into a team?"

"That's right." Ye Mu nodded.

Qin Aowu said a little excitedly: "This is a good thing, you may meet a team traverser like us."

Ye Mu's expression was solemn: "This is not necessarily a good thing, no one knows whether this group of people is a good person or a vicious outlaw, none of the people who can survive in this forest are simple, if we really encounter them at that time, we must be careful and vigilant." ”

"There are shoe prints here, it should be two men and one woman." Dai Qing squatted on the ground, observed carefully for a while, and said suspiciously: "It's very strange, there are three kinds of shoe prints, two large and one small, and two of them have flat soles." ”

"What's so strange about that?" Liu Wen was puzzled.

Dai Qing replied with a delicate cheek: "The soles of modern people's shoes will have anti-slip lines, and there is no such thing as pure flat soles, and these two shoe prints are obviously left by the shoes worn by humans... But there are no lines, it is possible that they made their own shoes out of wood or animal skins... But this woman's footprints are so small. ”

Liu You'er suddenly spoke: "There is indeed something wrong, this foot is too small, and it is small and pointed, it is completely deformed." ”

Ye Mu also cast his gaze, and after glancing at the ground, he guessed: "It's very similar to the three-inch golden lotus that women wrapped their feet in feudal society... It is possible that the women of the feudal society have crossed over. ”

"People from feudal society will also cross over?" Qin Aowu said in surprise.

Dai Qing looked up at Qin Aowu: "Didn't you say it before, there is a parallel space, even if it is a future human and primitive human crossing, it is all reasonable." ”

Ye Mu pursed his lips: "This group of people shouldn't be simple. ”

Qin Aowu was puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

"First, they were able to distinguish which fruits were edible, indicating that there were experienced veterans among them. Second, a woman with bound feet is undoubtedly a burden in the team, but this woman lives in harmony with the other two and eats the fruit, either these two people are very strong, or the woman herself is not simple. ”

"So what do we do next?" Dai Qing looked at Ye Mu, waiting for him to make an idea.

Ye Mu pondered for a moment, raised his eyebrows and said, "Follow the shoe prints and see who they are." ”

The shoe prints of the three men stretched deep into the forest, and from the traces left behind, it could be seen that the person with the pattern on the shoe print was at the front, and the remaining two followed.

Qin Aowu said suspiciously, "Where are they going?" Could it be that it was left a long time ago, in fact, people have already gone away? ”

Ye Mu shook his head affirmatively and said: "No, it rained lightly last night, and the ground was still wet, these shoe prints were definitely left not long ago, and have you noticed that they should not be in a hurry, but walking in one direction purposefully?"

Liu You'er recalled it carefully and nodded lightly: "This route is crooked, it really doesn't look like a person in a hurry will walk." ”

Dai Qing added: "Not only is the route crooked, but they don't seem to hesitate at all, and they seem to be very familiar with this road."

"How so?" Ye Mu turned his head with interest and asked.

"Do you think, if we come all the way, we will either go in one direction, and if it is really necessary to rush in a crooked way, then we have to look at the route every time we walk? For example, climb a tree to see what's ahead, or stop and discuss the route. ”

"That's right, you go on." Ye Mu blinked.

"The footprints along the way, the route walked... Well, smooth from start to finish... If they've rested under a tree or hesitated to walk, the footprints would have paused and cluttered somewhere, you know what I mean?" Dai Qing scratched her little head, as if she didn't know how to organize her words to express her thoughts.

Ye Mu smiled and said approvingly: "I understand, you mean, from the footprints of these people, it seems that it is natural, very coherent, and very familiar with the route, Dai Qing is really a little think tank." ”

Qin Aowu suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two, and he said with some uncertainty: "It seems that there is a village ahead?" ”

"Another village?" Ye Mu's face suddenly fell.

The previous experience of the zombie village on Hongguo Mountain left an indelible psychological shadow on everyone, and now when they mentioned the village, they felt a chill, and God knows if there will be any strange demons and monsters coming out of it.

"Let's see if there's anyone behind us." Ye Mu looked around cautiously and vigilantly, he didn't want the tragedy to happen again.

Qin Aowu turned over the tree, observed carefully for a moment, covered his mouth and said to the four people under the tree: "There should be normal people in this village, do you want to be admitted to the exam?" ”

"Don't!" Ye Mu decisively refused.

Liu Wen asked, "Then shall we go directly?"

Ye Mu scratched his chin: "Let's go to the mound over there and hide first, and observe where these people come from." ”

At one end of the village is a small river, the water of which is crystal clear, and the fish swimming in the water are clearly visible; At the other end of the village is a small mound that is not high, and it is covered with shrubs, which is quite suitable for hiding.

"Be careful, pay attention to any poisonous insects, snakes, scorpions and the like..."Ye Mu reminded everyone while carefully picking up the bushes.

There was a small clearing in the bushes, and when you peeled off the bushes, you could see the scene in the village below the hillside, which naturally became a treasure place for the five people to peep and rest.

Ye Mu opened the shrubs and looked towards the village, and saw that the village was full of people hunting and women picking fruits.

The men and women in the village have different clothing styles, including middle-aged salesmen in suits and leather shoes; There are youthful students in school uniforms; has a bewitching posture and a charming wife of the Republic of China; The most exaggerated thing is that Ye Mu actually saw the landlord lady of the old era with a flowing waist and a bright moon in her ears.

The corners of Ye Mu's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but complain: "What is this?" A gathering place for traversers? ”

"How long did you say this village was built?" Dai Qing wondered.

"I guess it won't be long before these wooden houses are quite new."

Liu You'er guessed: "They should have a character like the village chief, right?"

Ye Mu said approvingly: "I guess there is, let's observe here for a while, the boss here must be very powerful, otherwise how can so many people be organized?"

The five of them sat around the bushes, and before they knew it, the sun had begun to set slowly, and in order to avoid being discovered by the people in the village, they did not dare to make a fire, and the eyes of the four did not leave the village below for a moment.

Dai Qing poked Ye Mu's back and said excitedly: "Look, there seems to be new movement in the village." ”

Ye Mu was full of wit, and hurriedly said: "I'm watching, I'm watching." ”

In the village below the mountain, men, women, and children gathered in the middle of the village. There were about fifty people, women dressed in animal skins, and men shirtless, all kneeling on the ground with solemn expressions and reverence.

In the middle of the village there is a relatively luxurious three-story wooden house, and at the gate of the wooden house, out of the gate of the wooden house, a young man with a refined temperament, he wears a green Luo robe, and his hair is tied up with a bamboo hairpin. The young man's face is like a peach apricot, his posture is lazy, he is still lonely and thin, his eyes are bright and smart, and his thin lips are slightly frivolous and show a bit of cynical temperament.

As soon as the young man in green appeared on the stage, countless people shouted feverishly.

The green boy smiled slightly, casually put his right hand above his head, and then shook it hard, and the noisy sounds around him suddenly quieted down.

The boy opened his arms as if he was saying something passionately, and everyone around him looked up at the boy without blinking, and everyone's eyes were full of longing and awe.

Ye Mu asked Qin Aowu, "Can you hear what they are saying?" ”
