Chapter 823: Absurd
In the blink of an eye, five days passed.
In the past five days, Du Dian spent most of his time in his house, and the people in the village seemed to be gradually accustomed to his presence, and many villagers were warned by the old man, but curiosity still prompted them to come close and peek at them intentionally or unintentionally, and found that Du Dian seemed to be completely different from the "vicious" and "brutal" image described by the old people, so he gradually grew bolder.
Some of the children would often come to play outside Dudian's house, and at first their parents called them back, but then nothing happened and the children were allowed to frolic there.
For five days, Priley brought food to Dudian every day, first with small blue fish, then gradually dwindling in number, and finally only a few strange leaves and fruits.
Dudian knows that most of the people here feed on these melons and fruits, and the soil here is too radiated to grow, and these edible melons and fruits are plants that they have tried for hundreds of years and transplanted to the village, but the number is not large, so even the light melons and fruits are very precious, and most families can only eat some boiled aquatic plants and tree bark.
Du Dian occasionally wandered around the village, everywhere he went, it would attract onlookers and vague hostile eyes from the surrounding residents, but he didn't care, through five days of contact, he found that the population in this village was not much, a total of four or five hundred people, with the temple where the great god lived as the center, spread out to the surrounding area, most of the villagers were unable to have children due to radiation, especially the members of the hunting team who often went out to explore, so here, women and children were extremely precious, in this highly scarce situation, There was also the unimaginable marriage of a maid Dove in Dudian's imagination.
In this kind of marriage, which seems to him to be absurd, there is still "love", such as Priley, who often comes to deliver food to Dudian, he shares his wife with two other men, taking turns, but in this case, he still loves his wife deeply, and thinks that his wife also loves him deeply, and the two are true love for each other.
And he is not jealous of the existence of the other two, but is good friends with the other two.
When he knew this, Du Dian felt that his three views were completely destroyed, but thinking of the sinister environment and vicious monsters he had encountered along the way, and being able to survive tenaciously in this environment for more than 300 years, it was extremely difficult and unimaginable, and in this absurd environment, this absurd marriage and love were born.
Every time he sees Pleyley talking about his wife with a happy face, Dudian has a special feeling, adaptation is a terrible thing, when adapted, when you get used to it, you will no longer be able to judge right and wrong, but in the final analysis, the standard of right and wrong is only based on the worldview that you have long been accustomed to, just like a clichΓ© saying, no one can see their own mistakes, no one knows that they are clowns.
In addition to this strange institution of marriage, Dudian found that the inhabitants of this place seemed to be a bit indulgent and intimidating, except for the people of the hunting team like Plire, the other old people and women, who stayed at home all day with nothing to do, and played simple games to pass the time, no one seemed to think of improving the environment, and no one thought of creating something.
After questioning a few people, Dudian knew that they were counting on the Great Shrine for everything.
In their minds, the Great God Shrine is an omnipotent existence, an apostle appointed by the Aragami, and has the power of God, because of this, it has also made many people lose the desire to struggle, after all, what questions can be answered only by asking the Great Gods, why bother with your own brains?
This reminded Du Dian of a loving mother and many defeated children, and an excellent leader may not be able to bring out a group of excellent talents.
However, there are also environmental factors in this, in this underground closed world, their range of activities is very limited, and over time the people of the land have become lazy.
In addition to being familiar with the atmosphere here, Du Dian exercises martial arts in his house every day, his physique has reached the bottleneck of dominating the peak, even if he injects more divine pulp, he can't reach the abyss level, but the improvement of fighting is endless, the dragon clan and the wing clan, the rock clan's fighting secret technique, Du Dian relies on the rights of the wall master to get it all, the dragon clan's dragon blood technique, the rock clan's vajra body, and the wing clan's lightning wing, all of which are very practical martial arts, which can improve his defense ability, flight speed, and burst and lurk.
"Eun Gong!"
Pliley trotted out of Dudian's house with the stone box, rushed in excitedly, and saw Dudian crawling on the ground in a strange posture, and said with a smile: "Engong is exercising?" β
Du Dian propped up his palms and stood up from the ground, not blaming him for not knocking on the door, and asked, "What is so happy?" β
Pliley grinned: "The Great Shrine said that at dawn tomorrow, you can go to the Blue Fish Lake to fish, there is no danger." β
"yes, that's good, you can catch more this time." Dudian smiled faintly, in the past few days, he asked Plire to take him out to hunt, wanting to rely on the harvest of hunting to quickly establish friendship in the village, but he was refused, because it was too dangerous, and now he was finally able to go out to breathe.
"yes!" Pliley said excitedly: "With Engong here this time, I will definitely be able to catch a lot, and I will prepare the bag when I go back later, Engong, I will come to you at night and gather in the tunnel." β
"Collection?" Dudian asked, "Is there anyone else?" β
"Yes, I heard that Engong is extraordinary, and many people want to join us and go fishing with us to the Blue Fish Lake." Prilley smiled: "I saw that the situation in their family was not very good, so I agreed, anyway, the great god said that there is no danger if there are no more than twenty people, so in addition to us, there are eighteen people." β
"Oh, okay." Du Dian nodded, but he was a little helpless in his heart, saying that there were no more than twenty people, just twenty people, how upright this is.
"Well, I'll go back and prepare now." Prirechen rushed to the tunnel.
Dudian nodded, and after he left, he opened his stone box, and inside were two small blue fish, which he hadn't eaten for two days, and he thought that he would have a great harvest when he set off tomorrow, so he took out all his savings.
"I wonder what it tastes like when I get something out of the bottom of the lake?" Du Dian thought of the terrifying strange fish in the depths of the lake, his eyes flickered slightly, since he was planning to behave well and establish friendly relations with these villagers, this shot naturally could not behave ordinarily, but if he relied on his own strength to catch fish, it would inevitably cause some people to be jealous, and even among these people, it is likely that there is an eyeliner arranged by the great gods, and he deliberately took advantage of this matter to test his strength.
"I used the dragon blood technique to suppress the heat reaction, they shouldn't know my specific strength, they can only speculate from those two walking corpses, at most they think that I am a pioneer level, or even an internal wilderness, so it seems that it is still necessary to hide my strength." Du Di'an's mind turned, and if he fished without concealing his strength, he could only use tools.
Thinking of tools, he suddenly had an idea in his mind as he listed countless fishing tools from the old era.
