"Judging from the style of the village, you really can't tell that the people living here are all strangers. Xiao Lin followed the strong man on the streets of the village, muttering in his heart.

This village is much smaller than Qingzhu Town, and you can see the end of the village almost at a glance, with only one main road running through the village, and scattered houses on both sides of the street, which were obviously built by the villagers themselves, and there is no planning, so you can build whatever you want.

I didn't go a long way to see a small shop, Xiao Lin actually looked a little puzzled, this is a completely isolated village, food, housing and transportation are completely self-sufficient, I don't know what the meaning of opening a store is, presumably there is no concept of money in this village, what do you use, what do you eat.

"It's actually a good life. Xiao Lin couldn't help but think so, there is no gap between the rich and the poor in this village, there will be no distinction between the rich and the poor, and there will be no difference between nobles and untouchables, anyway, there is so much land outside the village, if you can do it, you will have more varieties, if you can't do it, then plant less, and it is enough to meet the daily life of a family of three.

"That's where the elders live. The strong man pointed to a small bungalow at the end of the street and said, "I hope he hasn't slept yet." ”

Xiao Lin looked in the direction pointed by the strong man, the window of the humble little bungalow was still bright, presumably the so-called elder should still be awake, and he didn't know what kind of guy it would be, he must be a stranger.

Xiao Lin was thinking crankily all the way, and inexplicably walked into the nest of the Inhuman, he was not nervous that it must be fake, but he couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, wanting to know what kind of creature the Inhuman was.

After all, Inhumans clearly look like humans, but there is a clear difference between them and humans, and if Inhumans don't use their own unique methods, then they can't tell what his identity is.

As soon as Xiao Lin thought of this, his heart felt a little cold, according to the information he had observed now, the alien was almost unrecognizable, and there was no difference between him and ordinary humans in his normal state.

"Could it be that there are already a lot of Inhumans in the human world outside?" Xiao Lin pondered in his heart, "Some may be undercover agents sent by Inhumans, and some may not be aware of themselves, there is a clear difference between him and normal humans." ”

Xiao Lin has to admit that the name Inhuman is indeed appropriate, it is a human being and different from ordinary people, but I don't know what Inhuman calls himself, maybe in their eyes, a person like Xiao Lin is Inhuman.

"It's here. The strong man said softly, slowly walked to the door of the bungalow, grabbed the doorknob and knocked three times, and then waited quietly on the side.

It didn't take long for the door of the bungalow to open slowly, and an old figure on crutches walked out, his face full of ravine-like surroundings, and his eyes were clouded with years, and he looked very old.

"It's you. The old man on crutches looked at the strong man and squeezed out a smile on his face, "What's the matter with looking for me so late?"

"Here's the thing. The strong man came to the old man's side, whispered a little, and briefly recounted the conversation with Xiao Lin before.

After listening, the old man set his eyes on Xiao Lin, looked him up and down, and said softly: "It's a guest from afar, come in and have a cup of tea." He didn't rush to ask questions, but invited Xiao Lin into the house.

Xiao Lin swallowed his saliva in disagreement, and then walked into the bungalow, while the strong man followed behind him, and finally closed the door.

"Sit down. The old man beckoned Xiao Lin to sit down, and he began to make tea.

Xiao Lin sat quietly on the chair without saying a word, his eyes were looking at the scene inside the house, the house where the old man lived was very small, simple to the extreme, even more dilapidated than the dormitory where Xiao Lin had stayed in the dark court.

A wooden bed, a somewhat lame table, two crudely made chairs, a crunching sound when you sit on them, even the pots and pans are made of mud, you can see a stone knife, and there is almost nothing of iron.

"Drink tea. The old man handed over a cup of tea, and there were a few leaves floating in the teacup, which looked very cold.

Xiao Lin honestly took the teacup, took a sip and put it on the table, quietly waiting for the old man to speak.

"You're from the outside world?" the old man was silent for a long time, and then he spoke slowly, in a low and slow voice that made people want to be drowsy.

Xiao Lin nodded: "Yes." ”

"How did you get here?" the old man asked.

"I was teleported in by a person. Xiao Lin replied truthfully.

"Teleportation?" the old man nodded, as if he understood, and he gently shook the teacup in his hand, and his fingers tapped on the cup again and again, making a dull sound.

"Which country are you?" the old man asked, a sentence that made Xiao Lin break out in a cold sweat, "Tianxiang, Jialan, or Eternity and Dragon Heart?"

Xiao Lin stood up from his chair, stared at the old man with a shocked face, and asked in a trembling voice, "Do you know the outside world?"

"Don't excite the child, sit down. The old man smiled, "The story about me is very long, let's talk about you first." ”

The strong man standing on the side was also stupid, he didn't expect that the elder who had never left the village in his impression would know so much about the outside world, so it seemed that this kid was telling the truth, and outside the world they were in, there was a broader world.

"I'm from the Tianxiang Empire. Xiao Lin hesitated, but finally said it, although he didn't know in his heart whether it was good or bad to tell the other party truthfully.

"How did you find here?" asked the old man, "our village is not large, and the location is remote, so it is generally difficult to find here. ”

Xiao Lin became more and more hesitant when he heard this, not knowing whether to tell the woman's matter.

"Someone must have brought you here. The old man guessed the reason at once, "This person should have stayed in this village before, and then left for some reason. ”

Xiao Lin was silent and did not answer the old man's words.

The old man didn't care, and continued to himself: "In my impression, there is only one such person, who made a mistake at the beginning, and has been haunted by it all these years. ”

"Mistake?" Xiao Lin was stunned, "What mistake?"

"I drove out a family back then. The old man had a sad look in his eyes and a low voice, "I couldn't sleep all night at the thought of that poor child. ”

"There was something wrong with what the old man said. Xiao Lin muttered in his heart, he remembered that the woman had said that the whole village had treated her as a monster and had banished her in order to ensure the safety of the other villagers.

But this old man obviously knows the outside world, and he must be very clear about some of the characteristics of the alien, how can he casually drive away a clansman, and now he is heartbroken in front of Xiao Lin, the contradiction before and after makes Xiao Lin feel a little uneasy, he always feels that something is wrong, but he doesn't understand what is going on.

"I know you have a lot of questions, just ask. The old man looked at Xiao Lin and said.

"Why do you know about the outside world?" Xiao Lin asked softly, this was a question he wanted to know, could it be that this old man had been to the outside world?

"That was 10 years ago. The old man said, "I was resting at home that day, after all, the village is very small, and there are not so many things on weekdays, and a figure appeared in my house at night. ”

"Figure?" Xiao Lin muttered strangely.

"Yes, a figure completely shrouded in mist. There was a hint of horror in the old man's eyes, it seemed that he had been greatly frightened at the beginning, otherwise he would not have been still apprehensive after so long, "I couldn't see his face clearly, he said that in ten years, a child would enter our village, and I needed to complete something. ”

"Ten years from now, child?" Xiao Lin said with a strange expression, "I guess you're not talking about me." ”

The figure then pointed at the door of my head. The old man said to himself, "I only felt a warm breath wandering through my body, and strength reappeared in my limbs, and I lived for another ten years when the limit was approaching." ”

"Is this okay?" Xiao Lin said in disbelief, "Does this ability still exist in the world? forcibly extend a person's life?"

"I don't know anything about these things, and I can't get an answer if you ask. The old man smiled bitterly, "At the same time, there is a lot of news in my mind, some news that completely subverts my cognition, and I know the things of the outside world, and I also know what a capable person is, etc." ”

"I see. Xiao Lin nodded and said, if this is the case, it makes sense, why was the woman driven away, and the strong man and the two children could continue to live in the village, and the villagers only understood what this change was after the woman was driven away.

"Then you should know about Inhumans, right?" Xiao Lin asked tentatively.

"You know, that's a name for my people. The old man said lightly, "It's just that I don't like this name, we are human, why call us aliens." ”

Xiao Lin was stunned, and then smiled bitterly, he didn't know how to explain this problem to the old man, so he could only choose to change the topic: "Do you know the origin of that figure?"

"I don't know. The old man shook his head, "It's just that he left a stone tablet in the forest behind the village, saying that he was waiting for the child to pass." ”

"The stele?" Xiao Lin muttered softly, "What is that?"

"Why don't you come with me to see it? The old man said softly, "As for whether you are the child that the man said you are, you will know if you go there." ”

"No problem, right?" Xiao Lin asked in his heart, saying this to the Shura Sect.

"Let's go check it out. Shuramon said aloud, "I'm a little curious, too. ”

"Then it's time for the old gentleman to lead the way. Xiao Lin said respectfully.

"Come with me. The old man took his crutches and walked step by step towards the door, but the night outside was still very dark, and every family fell asleep.

Only one old, one young, one young, one and three figures walked towards the outside of the village, towards the strange stone monument under the cover of night.
