Chapter 500: Solution
The identity of this tongue looks quite high, Brother Long's statement, this person is the eldest son of the village chief, and in the village, he is also a small head, he is such a person, maybe he knows something.
We thought so, but now that he was knocked unconscious by Brother Long, he looked at us with a frightened expression when he woke up.
And a few of us had to pretend to be vicious at this time, there was no way, we had to go out, we had to turn ourselves into villains first, or there would be no chance at all.
"What are you doing?" Watching him take a few steps back, he was obviously very afraid of us, and we were also proud for a while, and this is the effect.
"Don't be so nervous, we just have some questions we want to ask you, and if you answer well, we can let you go, but if you don't answer well, you don't have to leave."
"You can't kill me, if you kill me again, then everyone in the village will die."
A few of us were stunned for a moment, this sentence made us feel very interesting, we can't kill him, otherwise everyone in the village will die, in this way, he is very important, and the important thing is to be accompanied by the whole village.
"Why do you say that?" Because this is a critical piece of information, I asked directly.
He obviously didn't want to say it, but Brother Long half-squatted down, stretched out his hand and took out the dagger, and said: "That's the case, you just said that if we kill you, the whole village will die, then I won't kill you, but I can torture you slowly, first cut off your fingers, two hands, two feet, and then, there......"
Brother Long said, and glanced at the other party's crotch, and I saw a super fear in that person's eyes.
Not to mention, Brother Long really feels like a bad guy, yes, they have lived here for a long time, so they naturally don't know that it is already an information age outside, and in such an era, there is no information about what they want.
It's like playing this kind of bad guy, I can too, aren't there all kinds of villains on TV? Just pick a few paragraphs, it's not something that people here can fight against.
Sure enough, the man was frightened when he heard this, and then said in a trembling voice: "You really can't kill me, I am the only person in the village who can access the river, if we kill me, then no one can reach the river, then we will die." ”
We all looked at them, what does this mean, so Brother Long said viciously: "Tell me clearly, what's going on." ”
Now the man didn't hide it anymore and began to tell us about it.
It turns out that the river in this place is their only source of water, that is to say, if there is a problem in the river, they are equivalent to no water, and without water, people will naturally not be able to live.
But this river is not always flowing with water, every few years, the source of the river, there will be a blockage, this is not what they want, but because those trees also have to draw water from the river.
But in a few years, the roots of those trees will slowly block towards the source of the river, so they need to go in and clean the river.
"Wait." I understood something from this, and I asked, "You mean, you can go into the Death Forest and come back alive." ”
"Yes, the way we enter the Death Forest is the same, where to enter and how to get there, there are certain rules, and I am the only one in the village who knows this."
"No, if that's the case, this method should be known to everyone."
"No, it's not." The man immediately said, "In order to maintain the authority of the village chief, only the village chief is qualified to know the source of this waterway, and if it is not the village chief, he will not let him know." ”
"The problem is, you're not the village chief either?" We all looked at the man.
He said with a bitter face: "The problem is that I am the son of the village chief. ”
He talked about the situation for a while, and we realized that the village chief of this village wanted to know this secret, and in this way, a tradition was formed, and when the old village chief died, he would put the skin of this secret in one place.
This place is not specific to a certain place, but specific to a range, for example, not far from their village, there is a mountain, which is not high, just a dirt mountain, and the village chief will let a strong young man do this.
And after doing things, the rest of the people can set off to look for this thing, and the one who found it is the village chief, and although it is said, this sounds really interesting.
But with the slow development of this system, some drawbacks have also arisen, just like the current village chief, obviously not a cheerful person, he thinks very simply, that is, their family has been the village chief for generations, how good it would be.
Because obviously, the village chief can enjoy the best treatment in the village, just like finding a daughter-in-law, if you become the village chief, isn't it too simple to find a daughter-in-law?
Of course, the secret of the village chief is quite simple to tell, that is, the village chief here has to carry out sewage discharge, that is, every few years, he has to personally enter the dead forest to find the source of the water.
Then his main job is to cut off some of the roots of those trees, so that the water source is restored to its original state, and then some of the trees will die, so that the water source they rely on will be more stable.
Only then did we understand it, it turned out that there was still such a thing and now the village chief has a very simple way, the son knows where it is, and when he gets a leather drawing, let others hide it, and by the way, he directly destroys this thing.
And his son said that he had found it, and then knew the method, so that he could take over the affairs of the village chief?
I glanced at the man and said, "You guys are so wishful thinking, have you ever thought that if the man with the leather drawings wants to keep this secret for himself, he can read it, burn it again, and then come back and threaten you?" ”
"Uh......" The man was dumbfounded.
A few of us were dumbfounded, this village chief's mind and eyes were good, but the people here were still too real, and there was no kind of deception outside, so I couldn't think of such a way.
I'm absolute, I know for the first time that people are still so real, I can't bear to pretend to be vicious anymore, but I can't help but pretend.
"By the way, do you want to be the village chief?" I suddenly thought of a good idea and asked directly.
Everyone else looked at me, and I gave them a look to let them know that I had a good idea now, and to cooperate.
Zhang Shihong immediately said: "Yes, now that the village chief is dead, you have the best chance to be the village chief." ”
"Impossible." The man sighed and said, "Now the village doesn't know that I know the way, and I can't say anything about it, so I can't do it at all." ”
"Stupid, I naturally have a way to get them all to agree with you."
"Tell me about it." The man looked at me.
And I laughed and said, "You think too easily, how can I tell you the method so easily, but I can use the method of entering the Death Forest to exchange this method of becoming the village chief with me." ”
"This ......," he pondered.
I gave Zhang Shihong and Brother Long a look, I have finished what I should say, and then I will see if they will cooperate.
Zhang Shihong understood very well, and immediately said: "There is such a method, if I change it, after all, if we want to go out, it is impossible to live here for a long time, in this way, isn't it still you who is really the village chief here?" ”
And Brother Long said: "I don't think he should have that method, deliberately deceive us, according to me, it's better to kill him with one shot, and then we will arrest another person to ask." ”
Wonderful, our cooperation is really the best, at present, there are turnips and sticks, if he is not stupid, he should know how to choose.
Sure enough, he reacted quickly and immediately said, "Don't don't, don't kill me, I'll exchange with you." ”
Isn't that right? I looked at him and said, "Well, draw the place you know and we'll see it." ”
He immediately glanced at me, then raised his eyebrows and said, "What if you get the drawings and don't teach me the method?" ”
This kid is shrewd at this time, Brother Long looked at me, this is a very special situation, we don't have any contract spirit at all now.
If you are outside, just Brother Long's identity as a soldier can also get the support of the people, but now it is different, now in this fantasy world, Brother Long's identity is useless for these people who have passed down their ancestry from the Song Dynasty to the present.
I thought about it for a moment, clapped my hands, and said, "Of course there is a way, let's choose an exchange place, so that we are all not afraid." ”
"Tell me about it."
"So, you take us to the source of the water source and go there, because only you know the way in and the way out, so you are safe there. Once there, I'll draw this map again and we can wait in a safe area. When you're done, you quit, we get the drawings, and we can move on. ”
He thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay." ”
"Wait, let me explain a little more, when that time comes, I will follow you and watch you draw, I will not carry a weapon, but if I think you have drawn it wrong, you will die, because they will kill you."
The man exhaled a long breath, obviously thinking about what I was saying, and only nodded for a long time and said, "Yes." ”
That's it, I looked at Brother Long and nodded at him, in fact, I didn't particularly care about how he drew the picture when he arrived, after all, if we want to enter the land of water, we will definitely follow a certain route.
This route allows us to observe to our heart's content, and this is what I am best at.
