I made myself the protagonist

Chapter 18 Ask for news

The middle-aged man told everyone that Guxun Village is surrounded by mountains, traffic is blocked, and isolated from the world. Due to its remote location, the village has had little contact with the outside world for hundreds of years, and no one has visited it for a long time.

With the intervention of space, the middle-aged man was not curious about the enhanced clothes worn by Shen Tinglan and his party that were obviously inconsistent with their status; what he was most concerned about was the group's status as foreigners.

No matter how Shen Tinglan asked him about the village affairs, the middle-aged man refused to continue talking.

"Uncle, you see, there are barren mountains and ridges all around, and there is no place to stay. So, let's go discuss with the village chief and see if we can free up a few empty houses for our convenience and let us stay temporarily. One night. My companions and I have no ill intentions and will leave immediately the next day after resting." Shen Tinglan said.

"Okay, the village chief's house is at the east end of the village, just keep walking along this road." The middle-aged man said in a rough voice.

After the farmer who went up the mountain to cut firewood walked away, Su Li suddenly spoke: "That man didn't lie just now."

"Then how do we explain everything we saw yesterday? Everyone came alive overnight?" At this moment, Zhao Sicheng felt that his brain was in chaos.

"Anyway, let's go to the village first."

Even Shen Tinglan didn't know what happened at this time. Only three or four hours had passed since they left to look for Ling Yun.

Soon, after everyone arrived at the entrance of the village, they were completely shocked by the scene before them.

Ling Yun glanced at the time, it was now twelve o'clock noon.

Although the village in front of me is backward, it already presents a completely different scene from yesterday: the vegetation around the village is lush, the crops are growing well, and there are free-range live poultry on the roadside; what is even more frightening is that the villagers who disappeared mysteriously turned out to be It's all really back.

The white smoke that Zhao Sicheng saw earlier turned out to be smoke from various households when they were cooking.

The village that was lifeless yesterday became full of life overnight. Except for being a little behind in poverty, it seemed to be no different from ordinary rural areas.

However, when Shen Tinglan and his party entered the village, the strange and hostile eyes of the villagers from all directions never left them. Everyone felt like they were like a plague, and the villagers avoided wherever they passed.

They seemed to be very resistant to outside strangers. Although several times during this period, Zhao Sicheng and Lin Yuanqi tried to get some information from the villagers, but they were either turned away or yelled at.

"Do we look that scary?"

Zhao Sicheng touched his face, almost doubting his life: "Isn't it just that I haven't seen many outsiders? It's not like I've been hiding from the world for a hundred years, so why is it so exaggerated?"

As he was talking, he suddenly saw two little boys, probably in their early ten years, squatting under the corner of the road ahead.

Although the children's expressions looked a little reserved, their black and white eyes were always looking at everyone. Compared to the wary adults, the two children were more curious about everyone's attitude.

"Kids, come on, uncle, I want to ask you something."

Zhao Sicheng took out a few candies he had brought with him from his pocket, walked over with a big smile, and squatted in front of them. He shook the shiny candy wrappers and said to the two children in the gentlest tone: "This is Sugar, it’s very sweet and fragrant.”

The boy had runny nose, stretched out his little black and dirty hands, took the candy wrapper and rubbed it carefully a few times. Zhao Sicheng peeled off the candy wrapper, stuffed the candy into his mouth, and smiled at the children.

Seeing this scene, the children also imitated Zhao Sicheng's approach. Children who grew up in such a poor and backward mountain village have naturally never eaten anything as sweet as candy.

"How about it? It's delicious."

Zhao Sicheng took out the remaining candies from his pocket. Seeing the two children's eyes staring directly at the candies in his hands, he immediately asked while the iron was hot: "Answer a few questions uncle, these are yours. OK?"

"Yes!" The children heard this and quickly agreed to him.

"Have you always lived here?"

The two boys nodded without thinking.

"Same as yesterday? Nothing strange happened in the village?"

Soon, Zhao Sicheng got the same answer from the child as the middle-aged man before.

"How could this happen?" Zhao Sicheng turned around and looked at Shen Tinglan in confusion. After hesitating for a few seconds, he asked again: "Besides us, has anyone else been here today?"

This time, his question finally paid off. The children timidly told him that a group of strangers had indeed visited the village half an hour ago.

I heard from Gawa that this group of people came from the direction of Qingyuan Mountain in the east. After entering the village, they were received by the village chief and invited to his home.

"Coming from the east, is it the sixth district?" Lin Yuanqi whispered.

However, what the boy said next made Erika nervous: "Gawa said that one of the uncles is very tall and as strong as a bear!"

"Kid, what color are this uncle's eyes and hair?" Considering that almost all the players in the sixth area are European and American, Lin Yuanqi asked immediately.

"Dark eyes, black hair."

The little boy sniffed: "But that uncle has a wolf-shaped pattern on his neck... Just like this brother!" He pointed at the tattoo on Ling Yun's neck and said loudly.

"It's District 5!" Erica covered her mouth in horror. Through the boy's words, she finally confirmed that the person he described was Zhao Zhengxun.

Shen Tinglan and others looked at each other. If according to what the other party said, could it be that the sixth district has also been completely destroyed?!

"Children, do you know how many of these people are here? Why are they going to the village chief's house..." Before Zhao Sicheng could finish his question, at this moment, two people suddenly rushed out from the roadside not far away. middle-aged women.

One of them held a broom in his hand, as if he was facing a powerful enemy when he saw a human trafficker. He waved the broom at Zhao Sicheng, cursed and pulled away his child.

"Auntie, don't be like this, I don't mean any harm..."

Zhao Sicheng took a few steps back, but the women had already led their children back home quickly and closed the courtyard door.

"Good fellow, you really think of us as the God of Plague. It seems like you can't get anything out of the villagers." Zhao Sicheng scratched his head.

Compared with the village that had a sudden change this morning, what everyone was paying more attention to right now was the fifth district that had already gone to the village chief's house before them.

If the Sixth District has not appeared yet, there are only two consequences: either it is still well hidden and will arrive later; or it is defeated after fighting the curse spirit or fighting against the Fifth District. The array is coming.

After learning that District 5 had entered the village, Erika's face turned pale and she looked a little dazed.

She pulled Shen Tinglan's sleeve corner and said quickly: "The fifth district is really strong, especially their captain... That man's physical skills and skills are the most powerful I have ever seen."
