Chapter 19 The beard does not blink

Garcia saw the man slowly coming out from behind the mossy wall. First the feet in leather shoes, then the lower body, then the belly and upper body, and, finally, the head with the hat.

"Hey, it's human."

Garcia breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, turned his head and smiled at Old Man Sean.

"Although I would say that encountering a living person in this wilderness is a very unlikely event, but ......"

The old man squinted his eyes and looked at the figure behind the wall, and laughed, "Looks lucky?" ”

The man opposite looked about thirty years old, looking through the light of the flashlight, under a large felt hat, the dark eyes reflected the light of the flashlight, looking bright, the beard raging on the cheeks, it looked like he hadn't shaved for a long time, and the beard could be seen growing horizontally on the sides of the cheeks and on the chin.

The bearded head reflected a cold light under the light of the flashlight pinched by the old man, like some kind of metallic luster, but when he looked closely, he found that it was not metal, but some unknown leather.

"Rich or rich."

The corners of Garcia's eyes twitched, and the leather clothes ...... This configuration is ...... throughout Spice Oh no, you don't necessarily find a person to slap at the entire border, this beard, the way is not simple.

The old man on the side looked more far-reaching than Garcia, "This is a rat skin." ”

The old man's voice reached Garcia's ears, with a hint of caution in his voice, but more of a disbelief.

"Hairless gophers, a seventh-level mutant species?"

Garcia's eyes widened.

"I'm afraid it's ......"

The old man's eyes narrowed into a slit and carefully swept over the body of the man in the distance.

"This man is not simple."

In any case, it is a good thing to meet a living person in this wilderness, especially when two unarmed people with only a hand-cranked flashlight meet a stocky middle-aged man who looks either rich or expensive.

For the rich, there is nothing to rob from the two of them from the border, let alone two people who are separated from the army and only have a flashlight on them.

Well, of course, this idea is not very right, some rich people prefer to rob the poor, tsk, this idea will not be mentioned for the time being.

In short, the old man thought for a while, and then showed a smile overflowing from the bottom of his heart, "It seems that our safety is guaranteed." ”

The old man said to Garcia.

"Indeed."

Garcia laughed too.

The man on the opposite side peeked out from behind the wall, but he didn't go in the direction of the two of them, just stood next to the wall against the entrance of the village, staring at the two of them, and the two of them were furious.

"Forehead ......"

Garcia was stared at uncomfortably, and he saw that the bearded eyes were staring at him, and the light of the flashlight reflected in his pupils reflected back to his pupils, like a direct gaze.

"Friends across the street! Are you an adventurer from the outback? ”

In the end, it was Old Man Sean who opened his mouth, he cleared his throat and shouted at the bearded man opposite.

However, the bearded man didn't say anything, and even ignored the old man, just stood there motionless, continuing to look at the old man and the young man here.

"Hmmm......"

Garcia felt that the beard was inexplicably unpleasant, and he didn't even reply to such a polite question, but because he didn't know how the other side was hearing, he had to bury this dissatisfied muttering in his heart.

After all, people are rich and expensive, and dare to wander alone on the slope, there must be some capital, maybe people still have the kind of guns that only circulate in the rich and noble, in case they make someone uncomfortable, take out a gun and shoot themselves and Old Man Sean, then it's not worth it.

“……”

The old man was also a little embarrassed, when he met this kind of guy who didn't even pay attention to the question, but the etiquette still had to be enough, so he simply regarded it as the back of the other party's ear, raised the volume again, and asked the same sentence again with a hanging voice, "Friend on the other side!" Are you an adventurer from the outback? ”

The inland is not the abbreviation of the prosperous area that the Spices people like, but most of the people brought from the prosperous area use the words inland and border to distinguish their homes from places like Spices, so in general, in order to show respect for each other, the residents of the border will call themselves border people and call them inland people when they talk to the people brought by the prosperous area.

Actually, no one likes to call it that.

Garcia sneered in his heart, feeling that he was inexplicably inferior to them...... But it's better to call it inland and border than prosperous and poor areas, isn't it?

This time there was finally a response from the other side, but the beard seemed to be dumb, and he still didn't speak, so the flashlight shone on the past light, and Garcia saw that the beard's head nodded slightly, as if acquiescing to Old Man Sean's statement.

Of course, this faint nod was almost negligible, because the range of movement was so small, Garcia almost wondered if it was the moment when his eyes blinked and he had the illusion of a bearded nod.

The real response was that after this subtle gesture, Garcia saw the bearded man waving to him and Old Man Sean, as if to say hello.

"He's greeting us?"

Garcia raised an eyebrow.

Turning his head to the old man, he asked.

"I think he's beckoning us over."

The old man looked towards the place where the beard was.

The beard seemed to be afraid that he would not be able to see here, and even if he stepped back so far, he could see it clearly.

"Poof, this man's movements are so funny, like a baby who has just learned to beckon."

Garcia couldn't help but laugh as he watched the clumsy movements of his beard.

"Don't laugh, maybe that's how they greet the outback?"

Old man Sean tried to keep it serious, but looking at the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, it was not difficult for Garcia to find that the old man was also amused by the movement of his beard in the distance.

"Let's take a look?"

The old man proposed, "Since everyone has invited us." ”

"Hmm."

Garcia nodded.

"By the way, ask him how he breathes in the village without a mask, tsk, city people just have a lot of ways."

So, the old and the young, left behind the idea of retreating, and walked towards the green village, towards the beard.

The further he walked into the village, the higher the concentration of dirt in the air, and even through the filtering strip of damp cloth, Garcia felt that some of the dirt was sucked into his lungs through the strip of cloth.

The old man obviously thought the same way, Garcia frowned at him all the way, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and his nose under the strip of cloth twitched, looking uncomfortable.

However, the beard not far away did not seem to have any discomfort in the dirty air, and Garcia saw from a distance that there was no trace of frowning on the bearded face, although he had not spoken, his expression was very natural, and he seemed to be able to breathe freely in the air.

One of the most plausible explanations suddenly came to mind, is this beard equipped with some kind of breathing apparatus that acts on the nose?

Then it is easy to understand if you don't speak, because the air quality in the vicinity of Green Village is too low, and there may be countless spores entering the body from the mouth as soon as you open your mouth...... Tsk, I shudder to think about it.

Garcia shook his body and came back to his senses, wanting to share this idea with the old man next to him.

However, as soon as I wanted to open my mouth, I realized that I was also in this area with foul air, and as soon as I opened my mouth, those spores that were obviously harmful to the human body would pour into my mouth in droves.

"Tsk, it's still these inland people who are highly skilled."

Garcia had to admit the other party's technical status in his heart, and he thought to himself, look at us, what configuration?

Two large strips of water-stained cloth torn from his body, frowning and scurrying here; What configuration do people have?

I can't see it, but it's definitely a good thing, you see how natural people breathe in this dirty air, how natural their expressions are, breathe in such dirty air, they don't even blink their eyes.

“……”

Wait, what did I just say?

Don't blink an eye?

…… Garcia looked up suddenly, staring at the bearded eyes not far away.

Those pupils were dilated.

Only the reflected light from the flashlight came out of his pupils.

There was a strange aura in the air.

"This beard...... Not a living ......"

Garcia's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he immediately grabbed Old Man Sean's arm and dragged the old man back.

“?”

The old man had a questioning look in his eyes.

Garcia didn't care how many spores were harmful to the human body in the air, and yelled at the old man as he ran, "Run! This guy is dead! ”

As soon as the words fell, there were two whistling sounds of breaking the air in my ears.
