"Didn't I say that? From the records of the town. ”

"Really?" Village Chief Wan said with some frustration: "I thought that everyone had forgotten about the events of the year. ”

"And now?" Lin Qingqing asked. "Are you still bandits?"

"Not anymore." Village Chief Wan shook his head and said. "Forty years have passed, and we have all forgotten what it was like to hold a knife back then."

"Hua Ming, what the hell is going on?" Lin Qingqing asked.

"It's nothing, what is in front of them is just a lie. Back then, there was indeed a giant city here, but it was not called Snow Instrument City. The people here are probably bandits who fled into the ghost town back then. Hua Ming said.

"Aren't you afraid that they will kill you with a knife?" Lin Qingqing asked in a low voice to him.

"Don't be afraid. If we can kill them, at least we don't have to wake us up.

What's more, those young villagers have already tried to attack us three or four times, but they all gave up at the last minute. It's the first time I've seen a bandit like this. ”

Lin Qingqing was a little unhappy, this guy looked like he was in his chest, but in fact, it was just because he didn't think it was a big deal. If one doesn't get it right, this guy might get all three of them into the water.

Hua Ming looked at Lin Qingqing's expression and knew what she was probably thinking.

Hua Ming smiled and said, "The main thing is that they don't seem to have knives anymore." Forty years of isolation, where to get a knife? ”

Lin Qingqing looked at Hua Ming, who was laughing, and began to feel that he was overdone.

Sure enough, he did go too far.

"Khooth!" The sound of gold and iron sounded, and Lin Qingqing saw the villagers present and pulled out a scimitar from his waist.

"Wait, how come you still have knives, forty years have passed, and the knives still don't rust?" Hua Ming panicked, without the slightest calmness just now.

Although he was still able to maintain his composure, he was vigilant. On the other hand, Lin Qingqing, she looked around excitedly and almost followed.

Lin Qingqing's strange performance quickly made the people present feel puzzled, and they looked at each other one by one.

"Knives, you have knives. In other words, you have iron ore here, right? Lin Qingqing said excitedly.

"What a strange girl, am I so excited to see the iron? This is the first time I have met someone like this. Elder Qiu on the side said.

Originally, he still had a fierce expression, but now it has softened a lot.

"Village Chief Wan, you want to teach this mature guy a lesson, but about ironware, can you elaborate on it?" Lin Qingqing said with almost a twinkle in his eyes.

Being watched by Lin Qingqing's eyes, Village Chief Wan was also a little unsuitable. He coughed before he said, "We also found iron ore in a nearby cave by chance, which should have been mined by the people of the ancient city. ”

"Then we mined some iron ore along the hole. It's not much, but it's enough for our village. Elder Qiu said.

"Great, that is, there are iron mines and hot springs in your village. God help me! Lin Qingqing said with a smile.

"Miss Lin, what's wrong with you? Could it be that he froze his head before......" next to the elder, a somewhat familiar young man said.

"Xiaotong, I'm fine." Lin Qingqing replied, but the smile on her face did not fade, but asked the village chief, "Village Chief Wan, do you want to eat meat?" ”

"Meat?" All the people in the village were stunned for a moment after hearing Lin Qingqing's words. Then, like a spark on fire, everyone became as excited as Lin Qingqing.

"Meat!" Some young people shouted.

……

Contrary to Xing Qianye and Hua Ming's expectations, their danger disappeared quickly, just because of Lin Qingqing's words. And now, the three of them have become VIPs of Xueyi Village,

Now, Lin Qingqing, Xing Qianye and Hua Ming were invited to a more solemn and solemn place.

It is a half-buried altar built of massive stone. The dome built of huge stones made Lin Qingqing, Xing Qianye and Hua Ming all look up in surprise.

There are some strange and ancient patterns on the dome, but they trace the trajectory of something.

"Young people, come and sit down. The lines on this dome cannot be seen in ten days. Village Chief Wan said to the three of them.

Lin Qingqing put away that shocked expression and looked at the huge stone altar on the ground.

"Village Chief Wan, this is—" Lin Qingqing said.

"This is our altar, and it's the most important thing in the whole village." Village Chief Wan said with some pride.

This magnificent building looks like it will take hundreds of years of use, and the current villagers were just a bunch of bandits forty years ago. In any case, the phrase 'our' is not quite accurate. But Lin Qingqing and the others did not go to correct the village chief.

"Village Chief Wan, what are you doing here?" Lin Qingqing asked.

At this time, the village chief was holding a plate of highly stacked ears of wheat, bowing to a stone statue, and then kneeling down. After a long time, the village chief sat up and placed the sacrifice on the altar.

"This is the god who guards us, and there will be important matters to discuss today, so we need to pray to the gods again for good luck." Village Chief Wan finally finished the ceremony and said to the three of them.

"But, Village Chief Wan, this sitting statue is not yours." The criminal relocation industry said in a low voice. "I know this will make Village Chief Wan angry, but judging from the traces here, this place ......"

Village Chief Wan was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "Yes." Like you said, this is the altar left by the remnants of the ancient city. ”

"If you hadn't mentioned it, we'd have forgotten who we are." Village Chief Wan said. "Having lived here for too long, we often think of ourselves as real remnants of the old city."

"I'm ashamed to say that we're just a bunch of bandits, and one day we're going to think of ourselves as civilians." Elder Qiu said.

Looking at the depressed crowd in front of him, Lin Qingqing opened his mouth and said, "What kind of thief does he matter, bandit." Are you still robbing us of our stuff now? ”

"No, after forty years of slash-and-burn farming here, we can't go back to the bloody life we used to have." Village Chief Wan said.

"Wouldn't that be nice? If you won't be bandits anymore, do you want us to force you to be? Lin Qingqing said with a smile.

"But, Miss Lin, you have killed the remnants of the ancient city." Hua Ming said with a look of incomprehension.

"Hua Ming, do you want to let the group turn back into bandits, and then kill more people?" Lin Qingqing asked.
