When I woke up the next day, I opened my sleeping bag and saw Yanagi leaning against a tree and snoring. For a while, I quickly got up and planned to replace him and let him sleep a little longer.

As soon as I sat up, Liu Songming's snoring stopped, and he opened his eyes and said, "Young master, you are awake." ”

"Hmm." My voice is a little hoarse, which is probably the reason why I haven't been hydrated.

"There's water and food in the bag, you take it yourself." Liu Songming said, "You first play the Xingyi Five Elements Fist I taught you a few times." I've got a clear understanding of the surrounding environment, so we'll leave when you're ready. With that, he narrowed his eyes again.

I got up and stretched, pulled the bronze dagger out of my sleeping bag and pinned it back to my waist, and did my morning exercise as he said.

I deliberately delayed for a while, but by the time I had finished a few Five Elements Punches and started to pack my sleeping bag, Liu Songming had already gotten up and finished drinking the water from the kettle, beckoning me to go to the village below.

I've already observed this place, and it's really a good place to shepherd sheep.

I saw a large number of lush trees, a misty smoke rising from the village below, which stretched for thousands of meters between the two mountains, and a river that crossed the center of the village and became a large lake.

"I have a square." Liu Songming pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said to me.

"You mean that piece? There seems to be a statue. "The village is divided into two sides by the river, and the other side opposite us is wider, and a huge statue of worship or sacrifice can be faintly seen.

On the way, we met many people who went up to the mountains to chop wood, and their clothes were mostly linen, and it seems that there was a separate garment factory in the shape of an ancient workshop.

I wanted to stop them from talking, but Liu Songming stopped them, and under Liu Songming's guidance, I found that these people who went up the mountain to chop wood were numb and dead in their eyes, and they seemed to be a little less intelligent.

These people didn't even look at us, even if they went against us, they would run straight into us. It's a good thing I was able to hide quickly, otherwise they seemed to be ready to bump into me.

The closer we got to the village, the more agile people appeared, and some people looked at me and Liu Songming curiously, but still no one took the initiative to talk to us.

When I walked into the village, the narrow stone paths, the mossy brick houses, and the old wooden doors made me feel a sense of dislocation in the torrent of history.

I saw rice noodle shops, grain and oil stores, and textile shops with signs engraved with letters...... A wide variety of self-sufficient houses that are closely related to life.

"So there's a deal here." I sighed, "It's just strange, how do they always ignore me when I talk to them......" This means that when I plan to communicate with men, most of them will look at me stupidly and walk away, but when I deliberately communicate with girls on the road, most of them will blush and run away.

"Maybe they don't understand what we're saying." Liu Songming was also puzzled, "According to Yang Laohan, the people here should be very enthusiastic. ”

It just so happened that I saw the wooden window next to me being opened by a man, so I casually said to Liu Songming: "I like this window, these windows are all ancient ones...... The kind of hollowed-out ...... I really want to take it home! "I tried to describe what I thought, but I could only understand it.

Liu Songming smiled: "The architecture here is still the characteristics of Guangxi, although it is integrated into some Middle Earth or Chinese culture, but it still has its specific characteristics." ”

We had decided to go straight to the square, and there was no delay on the way, but we never found the bridge to cross the river, so we had to try to see the sculpture on this side of the river as we remembered.

Liu Songming and I chatted and walked, but when I forgot the window I had just mentioned, the man I had seen behind the wooden window caught up with me, shoved the whole window directly into my hand, and then turned around and ran.

Although the window was not sinking, I was taken aback by the man's behavior and shouted, "Fuck, what are you doing?" ”

The man ignored me, still trying to hide from me.

"Stop!" I shouted.

A miracle happened, and the man, who was still running, stopped and turned his head to look at me pitifully.

I hadn't felt the magic of this thing for a while, when Liu Songming whispered in my ear and proposed, "You let him come over and let him talk." ”

I nodded and pointed at the man, "You come over to me." ”

The man obediently walked over, albeit with some ink.

"Can you understand me?" I asked.

The man didn't react.

"You answer me, can you understand him? You answer me, why are you running? Liu Songming seemed to figure out something, so he said.

"I ...... I can understand. ”

Even though the man's Mandarin was a bit lame, I could tell his pronunciation.

"You are marauders, and we all have to obey you unconditionally, so that's why I run...... Please don't hurt me...... Please. ”

"Marauders? What is Predator? What do you mean? Liu Song famously.

The man looked at Liu Songming blankly, but did not reply.

"You answer him." I commanded according to the gourd drawing scoop.

"You're a marauder just like them." The man pointed across the river and said, "If we don't listen to you, we'll disappear, disappear completely." ”

I looked across the river, where people were coming and going, but I didn't care about this side of the river. I looked at the man in front of me again, lost in deep thought. After a while, I asked, "You answer me, can we marauders go to the other side of the river?" ”

The man shook his head: "Very few marauders can go to the other side of the river until they too disappear. ”

"Disappear?" I was reminded of Uncle Yang's words, he said that outsiders almost all slowly disappear.

Liu Songming and I didn't speak, and the man didn't dare to move, and stood in place with a look of fear.

"You can do anything other than not kill him......" Liu Songming muttered.

"They won't pay attention to us if we don't give orders...... I just said I wanted that window......" Liu Songming and I looked at each other and said their thoughts, "If Lu Fengqin didn't lie to us, this world needs work, then work is share." We are called marauders...... We can ask for everything from them......"

"We don't know the rules - Lu Fengqin said: 'You don't know any rules, only if the leader unilaterally approves you will promote you.'" Liu Songming repeated Lu Fengqin's words.

His reminder seemed to tug at my nerves. I said to the man, "Take this window back, I don't want it." Let's go. ”

"Thank you. Thank you. The man nodded happily and ran away from the window.

My mind was a little confused, so I translated what was happening in front of me into a conversation between me and Yanagi Matsuna: "You don't need to order them to ...... to lift the order."

"Well, I saw it." Liu Songming said that he understood, "Lu Fengqin said that it took him four months to find out some of the rules here, which means that the rules here can only be tested and not asked...... Or that these people have accepted the rules in their bones, and they themselves don't know it...... So...... So what...... Damn, I thought about it and forgot about it. ”

"It's like 'God's world.'" I suddenly realized.

"It would be nice if Wu Dongqiang was here." Liu Songming said with emotion, "There is a human nature laboratory designated by Qin Wuye, he formulates the rules, and Duan Sigong adheres to the rules. Only Wu Dongqiang often goes in and out there to know more......"

I sighed in my heart, each of these people has one statement, and I can't figure out whose words are true and whose words are false. Or maybe what each of them said was true, the part he saw and heard.

"No wonder, no wonder!"

I thought Liu Songming had made some major discovery, and hurriedly looked at him.

"'God's World' is the simplified version here." Liu Songming said excitedly.

I glanced at him and said solemnly, "Didn't I just say that?" ”

Liu Songming looked dazed: "Really? But who is the 'Duan Sigong' in this world? The men in black? By the way, it's the man in black. But how do you find them? ”

"I think there's a degree of temptation. Yang Laohan said that those outsiders will die, although we don't know why they died, but we know that they must have used the rights of predators. "This right is to command all the people in the area, as long as they don't take their lives." Deprivation of life is the same as death, so to speak! ”

"They ......," Liu Songming said suddenly, "there are no old people and children here!" ”

I was taken aback by Yanagi's words, and after thinking about it a little, a sense of fear spread from the bottom of my heart to the top of my head—there were indeed not a single child or old man here.

"I think we'd better ask Lu Fengqin." I instantly felt a sense of powerlessness, there were so many secrets here, who knows which rule would lead directly to death.

Liu Songming shook his head firmly: "At least we know a lot of the rules of this world by now. First, we outsiders are predators who can plunder everything in this area; Second, all plunder comes at a price; Third, the highest price is death; Fourth, we can't go to the other side of the river now, and we need to know more rules if we want to get to that side of the river. ”

"We are gods here." I concluded, "God who will die for a fee." ”

Liu Songming encouraged me: "We still have a lot of information, so be happy, there is still hope, right?" ”

"It's okay, I've been mentally prepared before I came." Yes, I already had the consciousness that I would be sold and count the money for others. Ancient buildings, curious faces, silent stone paths, and two men who are considered "gods" here.

After figuring out a few things, my curiosity about this place increased a little more, what kind of people are making these people live like this.

Yanagi and I quickened our pace, and soon reached a place where we could see the square with the statue across the river.

On the way, I asked Liu Songming if we could swim to the other side, but Liu Songming did not answer me, and when I arrived at the place where I could see the square, Liu Songming pointed to the crowd on the opposite side and worshiped the huge white marble statue with their backs to us, and said to me—

"You take a closer look at the faces of each of them."

Unlike the half of the village where we were, when the people on the other side of the river saw me and Yanagi Matsuna—or rather, we were two faces, and some of the people who worshipped the statue no longer worshipped the gods, but looked straight at us. Their faces were filled with longing, greed, possessiveness, and even on their faces distorted by excitement, and those open mouths were constantly drooling.

"Are they wolves?" I was taken a few steps back, so frightened that I could only whisper, "These people seem to be trying to eat us alive." ”

"I probably know where those disappeared outsiders have gone...... Liu Songming said lightly, "Let's go, let's go around here again, and it's best to find someone who dares to communicate with us." ”

I glanced at the sculpture, which was five or six meters high, and there was no doubt that the white marble looked like a woman from the back. But this sculpture is a bit strange, although this woman standing with her back to me, but her two shoulders are carrying two large steamed buns with bumps, which is very strange.

Is there any mystery to this statue? Otherwise, how could so many people bow down?

"Hey, Brother Liu, is there any mystery to that statue?" I couldn't bear it anymore, so I asked Liu Songming.

"Not sure yet." Liu Songming didn't perfunctory me this time, but didn't continue at all.

I noticed that Yanagi Matsuna became very strange after looking at the statue, and he no longer purposefully went straight to a certain place, but scanned room by room, as if he wanted to draw some fate line from these wooden doors and windows.

Yanagi was so absorbed in his search for something that I followed his example and began to scan the houses with my eyes, hoping to find something out of them.

We walked from the upper reaches of the river to the lower reaches of the river, by the lake at the end of the village. There are small boats swimming on the lake, which seem to be fishing boats.

The small fishing port is nothing more than a few wooden bridges that jut out into the river, and many wooden boats are tethered to the river and ripple with the waves.

Liu Songming pointed to the boat on the river in the distance and discussed with me, "Borrow a boat from here and we can go to the other side of the river." But it's a bit too obvious, and I'm more inclined to see if there are bridges on either side of the village. ”

Since it is a discussion, then this is the time for the eight immortals to cross the sea and use their brains. I replied, "We should wait for the fishing boats to come back." I remember that Yang Laohan said that the people here don't eat fish, shrimp, and livestock, so aren't these fishermen suspicious? ”

Liu Songming nodded in agreement.

I continued: "Lu Fengqin's wisdom is not low, but he is still trapped in this place for three or four months...... I think we should first find a way for Yang Laohan to escape from here...... It must be in the river, right? If only I had asked him more about this place yesterday. "I beat my chest, and I felt a lot of regret in my heart.

Liu Songming interrupted me with this unrealistic idea. He said: "I can't ask so many questions from Yang Laohan's mouth, here is infinitely magnifying people." No matter how powerful a person is, he will be lost here, and his ......" Liu Songming shook his head and sighed, "This test is really incredible. It's easy to just resist temptation, but can we only grab the necessities of food, clothing, shelter and transportation? Clothing, housing, and transportation are not bad, but if we can't figure it out ourselves, we must always have salt when we eat, right? ”

I interjected, "Can you earn a job by being self-sufficient?" ”

Liu Songming slapped the back of his palms and spread his hands: "It's definitely no fun." ”

Liu Songming paced forward, thinking about something as he walked along the fishing port.

I wandered around behind him, more curious than worried about the situation. The young man's heart has not yet been released, and I have tried my best to find a way with Liu Songming, and the rest of the time I have been pondering the extent of my "divine power".

Should I let these guys give me all their money and make me a millionaire in an instant? Should I let these people form a group to build a high platform for me, and I will direct them to play football and practice formations on the high platform every day, just like playing a game console? Should I let these people tell me stories one by one and appreciate the customs and culture here?

But can the money here be put to use? Will these people listen to me? They're all living as puppets, except for the parents who are the freshest outsiders, can they tell me a fart?

But the problem is that we can't get out now if we want to!

I patted my head and said, "yes, we can ask them to tell us stories." ”

"Huh?" Liu Songming glanced at me, "Tell me ......"

"You think, our village is closed enough, and when there was no TV at that time, we could only talk about Zhang's parents and Li's family, which were all short things for parents. What's the freshest thing for the people here, and what can be the talking point? Ah, us! What is this thing talking for, for communication; What is the purpose of communication, it is for idle nonsense and a waste of time! I pointed to the ground, "Especially here." It's instinct to live, and gossip is to live interestingly. ”

"At least that's the way." Liu Songming responded, "Then let's go find someone to ask." ”

Probably because it was getting noon, there were a few women carrying wooden basins from the village to the river to wash clothes and wash dishes. Although they deliberately avoided us far away, I bravely walked over to prove my idea.

Although I came to a woman's side, but I? Wrapped. I squirmed and accosted, "Big sister...... Washing dishes? Eat so early, huh? ”

The eldest sister didn't say a word, her face turned red, she hastily cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and put them back in the barrel and was about to run.

"Don't move, I have something to ask you!" When I saw that she was about to run, I immediately stopped her, and blamed me for being louder, and the woman suddenly began to cry, and the pear blossoms brought rain.

The women in the distance were startled by me and hurriedly packed up their things and ran away from the river.

Yanagi Matsuna, who was standing far from me, was looking at the fishing boat in a daze, but when he saw this scene, he walked over.

The woman hurriedly explained, "I can't do it, I'm menstruating." ”

Am I stunned? What is a "menstrual event"?

Liu Songming tilted his head and whispered in my ear, "She said she was menstruating." ”

I was stunned again, what does it matter to me whether she comes to her period or not? I said to the woman, "You're wrong, I just want to ask you something." How many outsiders like us have you seen? ”

The woman was still secretly annoyed and shy, but after hearing my question, her face immediately became very ugly: "Inquire about things?" The woman raised her eyebrows, already looking like a slut, "Inquire about your mother, where do you ask!" ”

After she finished speaking, she twisted her ass and left!

"Did she scold me?" I pointed to the woman's back and asked Liu Songming, "Damn, if it weren't for the fact that she was a woman......

Liu Songming looked at the woman's back, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "This place is really interesting. ”

"Uh......" I really didn't expect Liu Songming's reaction to be like this, so I asked, "What's interesting?" ”

"The women here are interesting." Liu Songming replied.

I scolded "old rascal" in my heart, but Qin Ya's figure still floated in my mind.

"I'm going to catch fish and grill fish ......to eat," Liu Songming proposed, "or let's go to the village to find those people to eat......

I thought about it for a while and decided to eat fish. Compared with rubbing rice, I think self-sufficiency can deduct less "points", but I don't know how many "points" will be deducted for eating fish.

It was close to noon, and my stomach was rumbling with hunger.

Yanagi Matsu asked for the bronze dagger I pinned to my waist, went into the woods, took out a thick branch, and after a while of grinding made a speargun.

He smiled with satisfaction, walked to the end of the bridge and inserted two big fish into it smoothly.

Don't mention the grilled fish, I really give a thumbs up to Liu Songminglu's hand.

"The beasts here are really strange, and they are not afraid of people. Look at this fish, if I try to plug it, it won't dodge. Liu Songming ate the fish and exclaimed, "This fish tastes good and chewy." ”

There was a fire on our side, and the smoke blew to the river. After a while, a fishing boat slowly floated towards us. As I got closer, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a hat standing on the boat.

The middle-aged man got out of the boat and pushed the basket into the river, and waited for a while before picking up the basket again and putting it back on the boat. Only then did he help the hat and walked straight towards me and Liu Songming.

I blinked my eyes with some curiosity, this was the first villager I met today who took the initiative to come to us.

Liu Songming put the fish on the fire again, stood up and hugged his fists at the visitor: "The fish is in the basket, and if you don't eat it, you put it away, is it a blessing or a curse?" ”

"Woe to the fish swimming in the water, and you kill and eat it. I grabbed it and released it, and next time it will have a memory, and it will be a blessing to live a few more days. "The voice of the person who came was magnetic, and there was no taboo about Liu Songming.

"Kill or release, the fate of the fish." Liu Songming replied.

The man took off his hat and showed an elegant and calm face. He said, "Fish also have a fate? ”

"It's all in the fish basket, and you don't know that the fish have a fate?"

"Yes, the fish in this basket are luckier than us. Kill or release, its fate. The man thought for a moment and hugged his fists and said, "Don't call yourself 'Fisherman', fish in the abyss, and when you see the two fish who killed me, you will come to ask what is going on." ”

"My name is Liu Songming." Liu Songming hugged his fists again, "Fishing near the stream, the stream is deep and the fish is fat." The brewing spring is wine, and the spring is fragrant and the wine is watery; Mountain cuisine and wild mushrooms, mixed and past, should be people with the same disease. ”

The fisherman laughed: "It's been a long time since I've seen such an interesting outsider." Go, go, go to me, I have ten barrels of fine wine, and I won't change it for an emperor. ”

I didn't dare to interject on the side, Liu Songming just came into contact with this strange elegant man and protected me aside, it seems that it is very dangerous, Liu Songming protected me through the danger and survived.
