The old village chief was stunned for a moment when he heard Vivienne's question, and then he stroked his beard and recalled: "There are quite a lot of foreigners who come here recently, and they can be dressed in any way. I really don't think much about what you said. stand up… "
Hao Ren thought for a while: "Is there a woman who told you that she came from another world and was trying to find a way to get home? She probably didn't speak the local language..."
The old village chief's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Hey, there is such a person who passed here two days ago and stayed for a day. I was particularly impressed by this, because no one could understand what she said at first, It wasn't a known language at all, and then somehow she suddenly became able to speak the dialect of the mountain people. The girl looked very anxious, and kept talking about going home... But she didn't mention anything about the different world? How did this get mixed up with what those muttering mages said?"
Hao Ren thought for a while, and guessed that the other party did not mention the fact that she came from another world to these mountain people out of caution, and the fact that she confided the truth to the wolves before was probably because the latter were just a group of wild beasts, no matter how intelligent they were, they would not As sinister as a human being. Seeing the old village head looking at him curiously, Hao Ren waved his hands: "Don't worry about the other world. We are looking for that woman. Do you know which route she took?" "Oh, I know. "The old village chief nodded, "She asked us about the shortcut to Beinz Blood Lake, so I told her the route that the mercenaries often take. I'll get the map later."
Originally, the old village chief would not casually reveal his whereabouts to a group of strangers, but this time he did not doubt Hao Ren and the others because of Becky's sake. Becky would often stay in this small village when she was performing missions near the grasslands, and she also helped the mountain people here solve a lot of troubles. She was one of the locals whom these affectionate mountain people trusted very much.
The cylindrical houses built by mountain people have a simple structure, and the interior is usually divided into several single rooms by straw-woven partitions (which can be removed when moving). The place where the village chief invites everyone to eat is the "living room" near the door. Now he went around to the back of the partition and dug out a piece of sheepskin that looked old from what was the living room. On it was a rough map of the southern side of the grassland and the western part of the kingdom.
"Go from here. The first section follows the grassland, and the back passes directly through the ancient road in the middle of the mountains. Recently, the mercenaries basically take this route..." The village chief pointed to the map, and Hao Ren found that this road was basically the same as Becky's. The established routes are identical, with only a slight difference in the places where the ancient trails through the mountains are crossed. Finally, the village chief added: "In addition, she bought a horse from the village, but she had no money, so she exchanged it with us for a kind of ointment, which is as magical as healing magic for wounds." He also brought some ointment from the mysterious woman. It was stored in a small carved wooden box, and it smelled like a fruity aroma, but of course Hao Ren and the others didn't recognize this thing. It is also impossible to judge where the woman came from based on this.
"Then let's follow this route," Hao Ren raised his head to discuss with the others, "It seems to be closer."
Lily was lowering her head and trying her best to tear the special hard dough cakes baked by the mountain people with herbs and flour. The movement was like a vicious dog snatching food. Hearing this, she raised her head and agreed in a daze, "Okay, okay."
"It's fine if you hear something," Vivienne gave Lily a sideways look. Eyes turned to Betsy. "Is this road okay?"
Betsy nodded: "This way is also fine, there is no difference. But you really care about this matter, don't you?"
Hao Ren started giggling in an unusually neat way. Nangong Wuyue lied smoothly: "Hehe, research habits. Research habits..."...
Becky didn't care too much and didn't go into it. She just glanced at Hao Ren's water bottle strangely: "You are really dedicated... You keep this thing with you when you eat. What kind of alchemy tool is this?"
Hao Ren didn't have time to say anything. He heard a few bang bang bang bang bangs from the kettle and a series of water noises. It was Doudou who was excitedly tossing the data terminal again, and the voice of the latter's protest echoed in Hao Ren's mind: "Hao Ren! Take care of your brat! Change the water for her, she is now grinding her teeth with this machine when she is angry!"
Becky looked at the kettle in surprise: "It's really an alchemy tool! Is it working by itself?"
Hao Ren's cold sweat was streaming down to his heels, and he quickly picked up the water bottle and walked out the door: "Hehe... yes, this thing is working by itself, I'll check it out, check it out..."
Nangong Wuyue looked at Hao Ren's back with sympathy, and whispered to Vivian next to her, "It's really not a good thing to have children before marriage. Look at how difficult it is for a single father. You have to change the water for your daughter."
Vivienne was stunned for a moment before she realized: "He is the only one who needs to change the water for my daughter!"
Lily looked up at the dining table, and reached out to grab the bread in front of Vivian: "You don't want to eat it, then I will eat it."
"Big dog dare!" "I'm hungry." "Put down the cake!" "I'm hungry." "Don't touch my barbecue!" "I'm hungry."
The village chief happily looked at the lively group of foreigners. It is a great honor for the mountain people to have their own food eaten by guests: "Don't panic, don't panic, there will be more later."
At this time, Hao Ren had come to the small river outside the village with the kettle in his arms. Now the sun had completely sunk below the horizon, and there was no artificial light source on the prairie. Only the sky full of stars and the two bright moons were shining. Keeping the outside from being too dark, the village of the mountain people is quiet at this moment, surrounded by a primitive and leisurely atmosphere. Hao Ren found that there was no one by the small river, so he boldly turned on the kettle and called the little mermaid out: "Doudo, Doudou, come out and change the water for you."
The little guy scratched his head and looked outside. The darkness around her made her a little afraid, and the vast and unfamiliar world made the little mermaid feel at a loss as to what to do. However, she still listened to Hao Ren's words, and after a lot of hesitation, she slammed out of the pot with a thud. popped out.
The data terminal, which had been soaking in the water for a whole day and was tossed by the little mermaid countless times, floated out in pain, and shook Hao Ren's face in the air: "This machine is simply serving you two. It's been bad luck for eight lifetimes! Look at the teeth on this fuselage... Alas, it's not good because it's too strong, and there's not even a single incriminating evidence left."
Doudou looked up at her "revolving lantern", and began to grind her small teeth in the dark, the data terminal suddenly trembled and remained silent.
Hao Ren replaced the kettle with clean water, took out a small piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Doudou: "Are you hungry?"
This piece of paper was from the pile of rune cards back then. The unlucky Nangong Sanba really made an indelible contribution to saving Hao Ren's daughter's milk powder money. After eating a lot of rune cards, more than half of them are left.
Doudou happily hugged the card and began to tear it. The sound of chewing the cardboard was very clear in the quiet night. It was crunching like a mouse... This metaphor is not very good but it is really appropriate. Hao Ren heaved a sigh of relief, put the kettle aside to rest, and at the same time was thinking about the Beinz Blood Lake and the mysterious woman, until he heard a plop beside him.
Then Doudou disappeared.
"Your daughter jumped into the river!" The data terminal flew up and shouted, "Run away!"
It turned out that Doudou began to walk around curiously after eating, and then she saw the small river close at hand. It was the first time this little mermaid saw so much water in his life. As an aquatic creature, he was so excited. I couldn't restrain myself on the spot, and jumped down without thinking!
Hao Ren only heard the sound of splashing water in the river, and Doudou's panic-stricken shouts. He immediately let out a cry of surprise and jumped down without even thinking about it. In the end, he was about to ride the wind and waves and go down the river to save his daughter. It was only when I realized that Doudou was thumping in place beside his waist: the swimming speed of the little one was basically the same as the speed of the water flow, and it happened to stay where it was after holding back the energy to feed.
Hao Ren put the kettle sideways in the water, with the spout facing Doudou, picked up the little one, and then turned to the data terminal angrily: "Didn't you say you ran away?! You scared me! "
The data terminal floated in the air with nothing to do with it: "It's rushing away, the speed is 0.5 centimeters per second, just rush slowly. Let you two toss this machine, PDA has a temper!"
"Let's soak!" Hao Ren grabbed the data terminal and threw it back into the pot, but just as he was about to go ashore, he found a ray of light coming from nowhere, shining on the river in front of him.
After searching for a while, he realized that the light came from the white stone brick building on the other side of the river. )
