Far from surprising Zhou Xinyi, the phrase "monster" reminded him of some other records in his notebook.

The backward people have a unique aesthetic, they regard black as beauty, and the darker their skin, the more beautiful they are in their eyes. The people of the Gang will cover their faces with black cloth, and if they show their fair face in front of people, it will be considered offensive to them.

At this moment, the uncle was already "offended", and Zhou Xinyi could only cover half of his face with his hand, "May I ask where we are going now?" ”

"Didn't you want me to take you to the island?" The uncle glared at him, "I tell you, when you get to the village later, cover your face for me, and don't scare the women and children in the village." ”

The people don't seem to be xenophobic, "Also, if you've had enough, go quickly, the village hasn't been very peaceful lately." ”

"What's going on in the village?" Zhou Xinyi asked.

"The things in the lake have climbed ashore and destroyed the buildings, and a few lunatics have escaped from the prison and hurt people everywhere," said the uncle, angrily, "and I said that I should have killed those madmen a long time ago!" It's a pity that everyone in the village is blind, and no one stands up to set an example! ”

He whispered, "Even the patriarch doesn't deal with them...... A group of indecisive guys, when will the group grow? ”

"That's right......," Zhou Xinyi said, "Actually, I'm a judge, or ...... Let me see? ”

When the uncle heard this, he squinted at him, "You? ”

"Is this what the judges and lords outside look like? I can't be the master, let's go to the village first. ”

There is still a distance of about a few hundred meters from the surface of the lake to the land, and the distance that can be reached by running two steps is enough for this row of small rafts to row for a while.

Taking advantage of the uncle's lack of eyes, Zhou Xinyi hurriedly took out his notes, found the corresponding content and read it.

This notebook doesn't record much about the content of the heirs, but it can be said that there is a lot of common sense about this era.

In the era when the people were still alive, the definition of the term "judge" was very different from that of modern times, and they were more of a supervisor and observer than a combination of a journalist and a police officer.

The judge is the recorder who walks in various places, and judges the truth and right and wrong of the incident in his own way.

There is also a huge gap between each judge, for example, when faced with a case where a bully hurts a woman from a good family, some judges will choose to record the truth and then leave; Some judges will choose to verbally reprimand or sue the local magnates; Among them, the sense of justice is relatively strong, even if it is directly to the bully, it doesn't matter.

There were few judges in this era, but the profession itself was famous.

Zhou Xinyi looked at it, and suddenly heard the uncle's smacking voice, "We have to go to the island in a different direction." ”

The distance was enough to see what the island looked like, but now the island was in chaos, with smoke rising from several buildings, and a few men with machetes were attacking the children in the village, and if they approached, they would be targeted.

"But it's not a good day...... "Uncle frowned, "if you don't go ashore before dark, I'm afraid the raft will be overturned by something in the water." ”

"Then come to the shore," Zhou Xinyi looked at the distance, observing the movements of those madmen, "I will meet the wicked people in your village first." ”

These madmen, their movements are unscrupulous, and they open and close, but they can be seen to be just three-legged cat kung fu.

They didn't seem to have any purpose in their actions, they only took pleasure in hurting people, and when the raft came to shore, they rushed over as if they had seen a funny toy.

Zhou Xinyi took out the hammer, he has been a soldier for so many years, how can he not be afraid of these guys with atrophied brains.

He dodged a knife sideways, the hammer aimed at his head, and fell—

Clang!

The madman immediately rolled his eyes and fell directly to the ground.

He quickly set his sights on another arsonist, and just as he was about to unleash the hammer, a teenager rushed out.

"Ugly, don't hurt my brother!"

Zhou Xinyi glanced at him, and immediately noticed that the madman who set the fire had smashed the torch in his hand.

The target of the smash was none other than the boy.

But the madman's head was not very good, a torch fell to the ground without even touching the corner of the young man's clothes, and Zhou Xinyi also took out the hammer and knocked the man to the ground steadily.

Rakugo isn't entirely accurate, at least this stun cleans up ordinary enemies pretty well, one knock at a time.

"You kid, how can you push the judge at that time!"

The uncle immediately rushed over and kicked the young man, "If something happens to the judge in the village, the whole village will be doomed!" ”

"That madman also burned down your house, what is there to cover!"

The young man was red-eyed, "Then he is also my brother!" My brother wasn't crazy, if he hadn't ...... If it weren't for ......"

"Or what?" Zhou Xinyi looked down at him.

The boy gasped for breath in excitement, "If it weren't for being dragged into the water by a strange fish...... He's not going to be like that......"

As soon as the boy finished speaking, the uncle covered his mouth violently.

But he also knew that it was too late, and he felt like he wanted to cover it up, so he could only pull the corners of his mouth and smile.

"Your Excellency, this is all a private matter of our clan, you don't have to care."

"Since you also know that I am a judge, this kind of thing should not be hidden," Zhou Xinyi said, "but I have also seen the danger of these madmen, and if it really does not affect other places, I naturally will not ask more." ”

From the very beginning, Zhou Xinyi realized that the profession of judge is extremely oppressive to ordinary people.

He just had to keep a straight face, and these people would answer him honestly.

The uncle is still a little hesitant on his face, because of his profession, he often rows to contact people and things in the outside world, and it is not so easy to be bluffed, but the children in the village are different.

The young man confessed without thinking about it, "Actually...... In fact, today, there are a lot of white-faced ugly guys in the village, and they still call themselves successors. ”

"As soon as they appeared, the strange fish in the water came out in droves, and even the house of the madman was destroyed."

"I'm afraid that you are in the same league as them, so I dare not tell you the truth...... In fact, there has always been something at the bottom of the lake, so no one has ever dared to go into the water to fish, and everyone who goes into the water will get sick, and we don't know why. ”

Zhou Xinyi asked, "Then you won't try to investigate?" ”

"We couldn't build big boats, and we didn't dare to go into the water, so we had to live on the island, so no one dared to go into the water to see what was going on underneath."

In fact, the people of the Yi tribe have a common characteristic - fear of water.

Just as rats don't approach snakes, the people seem to be inherently scary about water, so even those who dare to stand on the surface of a boat are very few.

The residence of the Yi people is a small island, surrounded by a blood-red lake, forming a natural prison.

As a result, the already limited resources of the people are unable to communicate with the outside world, and they have become more and more backward, and when the strange fish at the bottom of the lake come ashore, they have no way to deal with it.

The only thing that makes the people happy is that the fish can't leave the water.

Strange fish do not stay on land for long, so the people of the Shan tribe chose to escape, refusing to explore the unknown bottom of the lake, hoping to never intersect with the lake.

Of course, in this process, there are also people who have suffered injustice and can't swallow this breath.

The uncle obviously belonged to this, but he seemed to be afraid of something, and said to Zhou Xinyi, "Judge, don't believe him. ”

"It's true that his brother and this group of madmen were dragged into the water, but no one has ever gone into the water to save them, and no one in the village knows how to water, who knows how these madmen came back alive?"

"My brother swam back on his own!"

"I just said that your brother can't swim, don't you understand?"

Zhou Xinyi watched the two of them quarrel more and more fiercely, and stopped, "Okay, how do I know about the affairs of your clan?" ”

He looked at the boy and asked, "Let me ask you, is your village rich?" ”

The boy shook his head blankly.

"And there are no very strong people either?"

"Of course, otherwise someone would have saved my brother just now...... Just now will also stop these crazy people. ”

"Then I should have a way to get those heirs out of your village."

It stands to reason that the light curtain was meant to reshape the scene of the time and provide the successor with progressive resources.

However, this village has neither resources nor superior people, indicating that this is not the place where the successor should explore.

There is no need to be tempted, and even Zhou Xinyi himself will not continue to stay in the village.

No matter how dangerous this lake is, I'm afraid they have to go there.

Unlike Zhou Xinyi, the other heirs did not appear on the lake, but instead randomly descended on the island at the beginning.

Their arrival activates the strange fish in the lake, and the heir has just arrived here to trigger a battle.

Twenty minutes after the Heir ended the sudden battle, the fishy corpses of strange fish everywhere the battle went.

"Did you observe clearly?" A tactician heir asked.

Another companion replied, "Well, the natives of the island don't have much fighting power, and this is not the place to stay." ”

"Then the next goal is to find a suitable place to explore," said the heir, "in that case, the quickest way to ask the villagers is to do so." ”

"Actually, I have just asked, the people in the village are called the Yi people, and the lake outside is the Yi Lake, but unfortunately as soon as I continued to ask, the Yi people said that they used to be the tribe in the city, and it is inconvenient for the secrets of the clan to be known by our group of outsiders...... You can't even give money. ”

He grimaced, "The people here are too vigilant, and the aesthetics are different, looking at us is like looking at monsters, and we can't communicate at all!" ”

As he spoke, a small bat leaned into the heir's ear, and his words immediately stopped.

"Uh...... In the latest news, a senior official in the village called the successor and said that he would tell us the secrets of the village. ”

Among the Successors, there is a profession called Tactician.

They are the foundation of the inheritors, and the purpose is simply to improve their own inheritance ability, and the purpose is the purest profession.

Because of their profession, they are also the group of people who are least afraid of danger, so after this "big man" issued a call, the most people who came were basically tacticians.

Jiang Yi's bone sword was already out of its sheath, she carried the sword on her shoulder, and swaggered into the village chief's shop.

It was the other heirs who had been waiting here for a long time.

The dark-faced patriarch stood in front of him, but it was an Asian face like them who spoke.

The moment he saw Zhou Xinyi, Jiang Yi's brain was as shocked as if it had been struck by lightning.

"Successors, I know you're looking for a more challenging territory, and the people of the village don't want you to stay here, so it's up to me to let you know what I can share."

"A few decades ago, the people of the Gang moved to this island, but because of the strange fish in the lake, they were trapped here for years."

"If you're looking for a powerful enemy and a possible treasure, you're in the middle of the lake......

Zhou Xinyi's words were concise and easy to understand, but Jiang Yi didn't listen to a word.

Her mind was full of thoughts: how did he get into the enemy?!
