I looked at the thirty or fifty people in the village, some were singing and dancing, some were concentrating on cooking, and the elders were chatting with Captain Peng, the atmosphere was peaceful and happy, and it didn't look like there was anything wrong at all.

But the more so, the more strange it becomes.

In the middle of such an inaccessible barren mountain range, there is such an isolated village, and a group of humans who speak demon language, no matter how you listen to it, it doesn't feel right.

Ma Yiao looked left and right, and then said, "Judging from the house, how much do you think the population size of this village is?" ”

I estimated that there must be at least two or three hundred people.

Ma Yiao asked again: "How many people are there at this moment?" ”

I said thirty or fifty people, and some disappeared when they showed up, but no more than seventy.

Ma Yiao said: "Since entering this village, a total of 67 people have appeared, of which 48 are at the scene, and the ratio of adults, the elderly, women and children is about 6-3-1. ”

I mean, you mean, someone hid and didn't show up?

Ma Yiao nodded and said, "It's also possible that the Nightkin hid and didn't show up." ”

I was a little worried, and glanced at Captain Peng, who was chatting with an old villager under the translation of the exotic beauty Di Li, and said, "Do you want to remind me?" ”

Ma Yiao hesitated for a moment and said, "There are too many people around him, go and talk to Shaining." ”

After the two discussed it properly, they decided not to go to Captain Peng, but first to mention the matter to Shaining, who seemed to be insignificant in the team, but actually had an important decision-making position.

It happened that Shainin went to the stream to wash her hands, and when she came back, Ma Yiao and I stopped her.

I glanced at Ma Yiao, he didn't shirk, but stepped forward and said, "Inspector Xie, please take a step to speak." ”

Xie Ning squinted, looked at me and Ma Yiao, and then said, "What's wrong?" ”

Ma Yiao pointed at me and said, "Hou Mo has learned some demon languages, that is, the special language of ancient nightcrawlers, and he told me that the people in this village, what they say, is actually a kind of demon language, that is, these people are very likely to have something to do with wild nightcrawlers......

When Shainin heard this, he was not surprised, and said, oh, it turned out to be this.

Ma Yiao was a little surprised to see her so calm, and said Do you know about this?

Xie Ning smiled and said Do you think that Mr. Zhang, as an expert and scholar studying Kunlun topics, will not understand demon language? Even if the accents of these people are mixed with many local dialects, this is not a problem for Mr. Zhang; What's more, Tang Dao also understands this......

Ma Yiao looked at the slightly mocking expression on her face, and said calmly, "I see. In that case, why do you pretend you don't know? ”

Xie Ning said: "If you don't cooperate with the dress, how do you know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of these people?" ”

I said I was afraid that they would poison the food, and then it would be a big problem.

Xie Ning smiled and said: "Tang Dao was born in the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, and he has the best understanding of the release and pharmacology of poisons. ”

After she reminded us, we just remembered that although Tang Dao is the foundation of the wild demon, he does have the background of the Tang Sect, and it was with this magical means that he was able to restrain the Zhongzhou hero Zou Guodong and win the victory of the actual combat exercise.

Indeed, with Tang Dao, we really don't need to worry about the risk of being poisoned.

After saying this, Xie Ning said to me and Ma Yiao: "I have heard some of the reputations of the two, and I also know that you are the best of the first advanced research class, so it is not surprising that you have such insight. But you have to believe Captain Peng, the reason why he was able to become the captain of the scientific expedition team this time, it must be reasonable to be responsible for this matter, and we are also thoughtful about the configuration of the scientific expedition team, everyone has enough advantages and specialties, so that we are enough to deal with all the challenges in the future, you should have more confidence. Also, until the final result of this matter is out, don't say anything and pretend you don't know, okay? ”

Her slightly warning tone was very uncomfortable, but Ma Yiao and I didn't say anything more, and nodded in response.

Then Xie Ning left and returned to the crowd, while Ma Yiao and I stayed by the stream, looking at the lively crowd in the distance, and some didn't know what to say.

Indeed, Xie Ning is right in one sentence, that is, the scientific expedition team does not have many personnel, but they have their own unique skills, and they are all amazing characters.

Even the big brother Bing who accompanied us knew at a glance that he was one of the top talents in a hundred.

Even if it is an extremely obscure demon language, Teacher Zhang and Tang Dao of the scientific expedition team also understand it.

And they are still hidden, not broken, pretending not to know anything, in this regard, that Captain Peng is qualified, and has enough strength to lead us down.

Ma Yiao and I are worried about it in vain.

But I don't know why, I always feel a little unhappy, I rubbed the dirt under my feet with my foot, and couldn't help but scold: "What are you pretending? ”

Ma Yiao patted me on the shoulder and said: "It's okay, in fact, if you think about it the other way, the strength of the scientific expedition team is strong, the leader has brains, if it is not a pig teammate, we will save a lot of effort, and then Ugin will be very hopeful - we are not fighting with others, and being able to get things is the real harvest." ”

I said so, but when I saw that girl was vigilant and guarded against us, I felt angry in my heart.

Ma Yiao smiled and said: "That Inspector Yang must have reported the matter of Tai'a Jian to the above, this Xie Ning naturally knows, although this matter was suppressed by Empress Tian, but it is impossible for the people below to say that there is no resentment, so we can understand such an attitude." Speaking of which, it's still my pot, if it weren't for my greed, we wouldn't have been treated like this......"

I heard him look a little ashamed, and his anger finally dissipated, and said Hey, that's right, we have benefited, and it's normal to be a little angry.

The two comforted each other, and by this time, the roasted whole sheep in the distance had almost done, smeared with honey and sprinkled with spices, and the smell was everywhere, making people can't help but drool.

The people of the village were very enthusiastic, and began to invite everyone to come forward to share the food, and we could not stand by the stream any longer, so we gathered around.

If it had been before, I might have rushed forward when I smelled this mouth-watering aroma, but after knowing the strangeness of this village, Ma Yiao and I subconsciously stood on the periphery and did not dare to step forward.

But the people of the village were very welcoming, pushing us guests to the front and offering us a bright red grape pulp.

Ma Yiao and I hid on the edge, but the girl named Di Li came over and said to us enthusiastically: "Two handsome pots, why are you hiding in the back, come and sit in the front, our Uncle Gega said, let the distinguished guests taste our snow goats - these sheep are grown up drinking snow mountain water, the meat is warm, there is no smell at all, special delicious......"

She reached over and took Ma Yiao's hand, the enthusiasm in those big eyes almost melted Ma Yiao.

On the contrary, it was me, and it was a bit bleak to the side.

But it's no wonder, who called us not handsome guys, I stood with Ma Yiao, and we were completely green leaves to foil.

The girl didn't care about me at all.

I followed Ma Yiao to the bonfire, the goat's beard, looking a bit like Avanti's uncle was talking enthusiastically, and Di Li, although a little reluctant to Ma Yiao, still left, walked forward, and started to translate.

In fact, there is no need to translate these words, that is, normal scenes, welcome guests from afar, I hope we can have fun here and spend a beautiful night.

Then the elder raised the croissant in his hand and toasted to us.

As Uncle Gega spoke, we also stuffed our horns in our hands, and the wine in the glasses was full, but it smelled a little sour, and it was not a good wine.

Captain Peng raised his glass, but did not drink it, but glanced at Tang Dao next to him.

Tang Dao didn't hesitate, he directly raised his glass and drank it, and the rest of the people didn't wait any longer and drank the glass of wine.

I also drank it, and it felt a little sour, the wine tasted very light, but it had a strong grape flavor, obviously the winemaking technique was not very clever, but it was very primitive fermentation process.

But not to mention, this sip of wine has opened up the appetite, and the smell of the fragrant roast mutton has become more and more greedy.

After the elder finished toasting, he touched a beautifully carved silver knife, cut off the fattest piece of meat on the roast sheep, and handed it to Captain Peng, but at this time, Tang Dao stepped forward, as if he was greedy, he took a bite first, and then shouted: "It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant......

When Captain Peng saw it, he first pretended to scold, and then put the piece of meat into his mouth with a smile.

He was sure that the roast mutton was non-toxic, so he dared to eat it boldly with confidence.

Captain Peng ate the first piece, the feast began, the elders began to divide the meal, the mutton on the grill kept rotating, and then divided the meat down, served it on a clay plate, and handed it to everyone, I also got a piece of breast meat, after tasting it, it was really charred on the outside and tender on the inside, very delicious.

And then there was boiled mutton soup served, Tang Dao still tried it first, and after making sure that it was non-toxic, he distributed it to everyone.

Everyone ate mutton, drank grape pulp, and sang and danced, very happy, Ma Yiao and I ate beside us, and a young girl kept coming, talking to Ma Yiao, inviting him to dance, while I nested in the corner.

Fortunately, there is a little monk Moyan to accompany him, so he is not so lonely.

It was as if it were just a lively feast, but in the middle of the feast, suddenly a fat woman came running from a room not far away, and after a few steps, she fell to the ground.

And then, she never got back up.
