[888] Elder
A day later.
When Cheng Han was fishing by the river again, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from afar.
More than one, two.
It's a lot.
With his extremely keen hearing, he immediately discerned that the group of little radish heads was among them.
The number is - nine.
One more than yesterday.
As active children, they move a little faster than adults.
Besides.
Cheng Han also heard two different footsteps, their steps were heavier and their steps were slower.
The former indicates heavier weight, while the latter means taller.
The answer is self-explanatory – these are two adult pointy ears.
Cheng Han's ears moved, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Do the adults in the village finally want to come and have a look?" ”
He adjusted his posture slightly, ready to lift the rod.
Because he sensed that a black fish was about to take the bait.
Soon.
The footsteps approached, then stopped.
The crowd appeared behind the grass and did not continue to approach.
Cheng Han clearly sensed that a pair of eyes converged on his back.
A muffled whisper also drifted over.
"The blind man is fishing again."
"The blind love fishing."
The old god Cheng Han is there, and the hand holding the fishing rod is as immobile as a mountain.
A second later.
The line tightened suddenly.
This means that the blackfish has bitten.
At the same time.
Cheng Han's right hand moved, and he quickly lifted the fishing rod.
"Wow~"
The river splashed.
The black fish that was dropped shook its tail vigorously, crossed an arc in the air, and collided towards Cheng Han.
A group of little radish heads couldn't help but cry out:
"Wow!"
It seems that because of the adults, they feel more secure, and this one is obviously louder.
"Smack!"
Cheng Han's palm slapped the fish's head accurately, and the black fish immediately fainted, no longer struggling frantically.
The children bared their teeth again, and each of them felt that the blind were fierce and cruel.
The pupils of the two adults shrank in unison.
Both eyes are gone, and you can slap the black fish unconscious with one palm, this blind man is not ordinary!
Subsequently.
The black fish was taken down by the blind man, and the shape of the hook was revealed.
The children did not notice this small detail, but the two strong men saw it clearly.
This is not a fish hook in the imagination of ordinary people at all, but - a stone needle.
And still - straight.
The two strong men glanced at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
A straight hook can actually be fished, this blind man is not simple.
These two were relatively strong warriors in the village, and they had mastered a lot of martial arts, but they thought to themselves that they definitely did not have such skills.
And then.
The blind man moved his fishing rod.
The hook flew out again and fell back to the surface.
The surroundings fell silent.
The two strong men didn't know for what purpose, they just watched quietly and didn't bother.
A bunch of little radish heads also realized that the atmosphere was wrong and closed their mouths one after another.
After a while.
Cheng Han adjusted his sitting posture and sighed leisurely: "I smelled the breath of drought from the river. ”
Frankly.
It's a bit of a chatter, just smell the river and know that a drought is coming.
That's too much, isn't it?!
Many little ones don't believe it at all.
This year's river water level is much higher than in previous years, which looks like a drought.
The two strong men's faces changed when they heard this.
For it was not long ago that the elders had heard a revelation from the ancestral spirits.
It's just that the information is currently under wraps, so it's rarely known.
Cheng Han chattered again: "The drought will last for a long time, and when most of the vitality of the earth is wiped out, the real destruction will come. ”
The two strong men suddenly couldn't sit still.
They looked at each other again, one mouthing "go" and the other nodding.
The two simply turned around and left.
A group of little radish heads were a little confused, but they didn't dare to ask, and obediently followed behind.
Cheng Han was the only one left by the river.
"Whoa!"
The sound of the water waves.
Cheng Han caught another black fish.
He muttered softly, "Is it a coincidence that I chose a small world and encountered a super-large drought?" ”
The so-called "drought" is the result of indications.
However, the timing of the drought is highly close to the birth of the "catastrophe", and he does not think it is a coincidence.
"River Breath" Yunyun is not nonsense, with his current powerful ability, he can indeed sense that the law of the water system is faintly showing signs of decline, which is undoubtedly a sign of a great drought.
And the next sentence added "real destruction" is just a guess.
The reason why this was done was naturally to scare the elders in the village.
Cheng Han listened to the footsteps and walked away, revealing a hint of a smile: "It seems that the effect of scaring is good!" ”
He personally estimated that within these two days, the elders would most likely come to visit.
*
The visit of the village elders was earlier than expected.
Or rather.
The elder's eagerness was a bit beyond Cheng Han's expectations.
That night.
The night sky of this small world is floating past the blue meteors.
The so-called "blue meteors" are a unique atmospheric phenomenon in this world, and each meteor represents an ancestral spirit on the earth.
The wooden door of the cabin was suddenly knocked.
"Boom! Boom! ”
Cheng Han tilted his head and replied, "Please come in!" ”
The next moment.
The wooden door was pushed open.
Two strong men, the same guys who had seen themselves by the river earlier, entered the house first.
An old man with a cane came in after him.
The man's skin is darker-brown and has pointed ears that droop, a sign of aging.
The eyes of these three people first swept over the burning fireplace, and then locked on the figure sitting next to him-Cheng Han.
The elder didn't speak immediately, as if pondering how to phrase it.
Cheng Han immediately sensed that there was an extremely special power in the elder's soul.
They don't belong to the elders, but they are intimately connected to them.
"Smack!"
There was a sudden sound of wood in the fireplace, and the flames trembled.
Cheng Han was the first to break the silence: "There are many air chambers inside the white fir wood that are difficult to see with the naked eye.
"When this wood burns, the gas in the gas chamber expands, and there is always a popping sound."
He paused for a moment, and then said, "Based on the same reason, a house built with white cedar will crack after a little longer use. ”
Cheng Han came to a conclusion: "So the white shirt is not a suitable building material. ”
The two strong men unconsciously exchanged a look, and they both saw each other's amazement.
They knew from childhood that white cedars could not be used to build houses, but today they know why.
The elder's eyes became a little more cautious, and he said slowly, "Wise man from a foreign country, you are very knowledgeable. ”
Originally, the elder planned to call him "foreign traveler", but when he heard about Shirasugi, he immediately changed his title to "wise man".
