Chapter 547

Tang Chengnian couldn't wait for anyone to show up, so he had no choice but to shout.

Of course, before shouting, in order not to scare people, she changed her body first, using bone shrinkage technique to turn herself into a 20-year-old woman, and then put on a | a face.Otherwise, an eight-year-old girl walking alone would seem too shocking.After changing clothes, she began to call the door.

"Is anyone here?"

In order to achieve the best effect, and not scare too many people without knowing whether the residents here practiced or not, Tang Chengnian had no choice but to use his usual volume of shouting, calling from door to door.

The first one didn't answer.

Neither did the second one.

The third house... As soon as she knocked on the door, someone opened the door from inside.She is a little girl with her hair tied up and wearing a dark blue cloth.She doesn't look very old, about ten years old, she is delicate and weak, and she is dressed plainly, but she doesn't look like a village girl, but more like a daughter in distress.

This little girl's name is Lu Yuzhuo.

"Hush!" Lu Yuzhuo cautiously waved at her, "Sister, don't shout anymore, come in first."

"How is this going?"

"It can't be said here, you come in first, my mother will tell you." Lu Yuzhuo looked very scared, "The door of my house cannot be opened for too long... it must be closed quickly, and you must stop talking. If you are curious, Just ask my mother."

Seeing that the little girl was really about to cry, Tang Chengnian didn't want to embarrass her, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll just come in, don't cry."

When Tang Chengnian came in, Lu Yuzhuo hurriedly closed the door again.

Tang Chengnian followed Lu Yuzhuo into the house.

Lu Yuzhuo's mother also has a literary name, Bai Lanzhu.Both of them seemed to have stories to tell. Bai Lanzhu was seriously ill and Lu Yuzhuo's father had not been seen. Tang Chengnian was curious, but did not ask.

She looked at Bai Lanzhu who was coughing thoughtfully, and thought to herself, the people in this world are indeed much more real than the people in the illusion of the tower.The watchman didn't lie to her. This imaginary world is indeed much higher than the illusion of the tower.

Seeing Tang Chengnian staring at Bai Lanzhu, Lu Yuzhuo couldn't help but misunderstand her, thinking that Tang Chengnian was wondering why Bai Lanzhu was lying here, and she said, "This is my mother. She is sick and can only lie down. on the bed."

"...Oh, so that's the case." Tang Chengnian had already seen it, but he still nodded, showing a sudden realization.

Lu Yuzhuo looked at Bai Lanzhu, saw her stretching out her hand, and hurried over to help Bai Lanzhu sit up from the bed.

Bai Lanzhu leaned weakly in Lu Yuzhuo's arms, and said weakly to Tang Chengnian: "The girl looks like a stranger, why did she come to our Taoyuan Township?"

Tang Chengnian replied: "Auntie, hello, I am a traveler passing through this place, and my surname is Tang. Seeing that the sun was rising and everyone was staying behind closed doors, I was a little curious...why did everyone close their doors? custom?"

"No." Bai Lanzhu shook her head, she sighed, "It seems that the girl is also lucky that she didn't meet those people..."

"Ah? Who did you meet?" Tang Chengnian raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but ask.

Bai Lanzhu coughed from time to time, so although Lu Yuzhuo vowed that Bai Lanzhu would explain everything after she came in, but in fact she was the one who explained everything.

Although Lu Yuzhuo was young, he was already very sensible, and immediately explained the ins and outs of the whole matter clearly.

It turns out that this peaceful corner of Taoyuan Township was originally a peaceful place. The people here lived and worked in peace and contentment, no one left their hometown, and they lived a very happy life.However, one day at noon, a man with weapons came and was extremely cruel. He broke into a house and robbed it wantonly.

The villagers of Taoyuan Township have never seen such a brutal murderer, and they watched that man run away with the stolen things.

However, with the intention of losing money and eliminating disaster, no one pursued him.Everyone raised funds together to compensate the robbed family. Originally, even Bai Lanzhu thought that all this was over.

Who knows, every day after that, a man will appear, holding a weapon and wearing similar clothes, randomly choosing a house, and going in to rob it.If anyone dares to resist, he will be killed immediately. If this happens too many times, no one will dare to resist anymore.Later, everyone gradually grasped the rules. Before noon every day, someone would come with weapons, not necessarily the same person, but definitely doing the same thing.

"You don't know who the person who did this kind of thing is?" Tang Chengnian asked.

Lu Yuzhuo shook his head and said very innocently: "I don't know."

Bai Lanzhu still sighed at the side: "No one knows who those people are, gangsters or... alas... but as long as we don't resist, he won't hurt us. So, every time One day we all close the door, as long as that person comes, let him choose a family to plunder, as for the loss, we can all make up for the robbed villager. Anyway, that person has a weapon and also brings Not much to take away.”

This idea is too negative, right?Tang Chengnian thought in surprise.

However, both Lu Yuzhuo and Bai Lanzhu seem to think that this idea is very normal and there is nothing wrong with it.

"You just let them rob? Taoyuan Township is so big, is there still a shortage of people?" According to Tang Chengnian's thinking, it shouldn't be!Even if one person has a shoulder pole in one hand, it's okay to play group fights, right?But Taoyuan Township is so big, with so many families, so many individuals, no one dares to do anything?Just watching a person show off his might in his own village?
Lu Yuzhuo said timidly: "He holds a weapon, very powerful."

"Does he have three heads and six arms?" Although Tang Chengnian didn't recognize the people here, he still felt that he could not turn steel into steel.She just traveled the entire Taoyuan Township!Although Taoyuan Township is not big, it is really not small, and every household is a big house, so there must be many people living there, right?But why is everyone willing to be bullied by someone with a weapon?So what about weapons? Is there no blacksmith shop in Taoyuan Township?She has clearly seen one!
Tang Chengnian was half dead with anger, but Lu Yuzhuo still said timidly, "That man is really powerful."

Bai Lanzhu, who was lying in Lu Yuzhuo's arms, coughed and said with difficulty: "Miss Tang, you come from outside and don't know how scary those people are. If you see them, you will be the same as us."

"I won't." Tang Chengnian snorted, but did not argue with Bai Lanzhu.Why should she argue with a patient?At that time, you can show your skills as much as possible, and let these people know how powerful she is.

However, Tang Chengnian still had a question, and she couldn't bear it if she didn't solve it: "Taoyuan Township has been bullied like this, haven't you thought about asking for help?"

"Ask for... help?" Lu Yuzhuo didn't understand what she meant.

Bai Lanzhu understood, but she groaned and said helplessly: "Miss Tang, there is a river outside Taoyuan Township... No one among us here can cross that river, and no one who crosses the river can cross it. One has come back. As for the remaining road, it leads to where the man with the weapon came from. Going that way is more risky than crossing the river."

From this point of view, it is a dilemma.

Tang Chengnian couldn't do it anymore, any suggestion she made was rejected by Bai Lanzhu with sufficient reason, so what else could she say?

Seeing Tang Chengnian's helpless expression, Bai Lanzhu couldn't help but apologized and said, "I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble."

"...It's nothing." Tang Chengnian was a little discouraged when he suddenly remembered something.Across the river bank, isn't there a forest?That's where she came from... "Sen..."

She opened her mouth, then swallowed the words herself.

Tang Chengnian had already tried, she couldn't go back to the forest by herself, since this imaginary world made up such a suitable reason for the people in Taoyuan Township and blocked two roads, presumably, there must be some plans for the forest.Why should she humiliate herself?Even if you ask, it probably won't work.

Now it seems that the secret to clearing the customs lies in the strange organization that always comes to Taoyuan Township with weapons.

Perhaps, if that person comes later, she can try to make a move.If she wins one, she can take it slowly.

Thinking of this, the corners of Tang Chengnian's mouth raised slightly, revealing a proud smile.

Bai Yuzhuo stared at her thoughtfully for a while, then suggested: "Sister Tang, do you want something to eat?"

"Yes, yes, since you are here in a hurry, I'm afraid you are already hungry. It's my fault for dragging you to talk. Don't worry, that person only comes to one place at a time. We don't have to be afraid of him when we cook at home." After Lan Zhu finished speaking, she said to Lu Yuzhuo, "Let's cook two dishes and entertain this girl."

She nodded apologetically to Tang Chengnian again: "Small land in the mountains and fields, simple tea and light food, please don't dislike Miss Tang."

"There's no need to be so troublesome!" On the contrary, Tang Chengnian stood up nervously, "No need!"

Bai Lanzhu ignored her, and still told Lu Yuzhuo, "You have to remember to cook a cup of rice again, and you are not allowed to take the leftover rice."

Lu Yuzhuo nodded obediently: "Okay, mother, don't worry, I understand."

A trace of pity flashed in Bai Lanzhu's eyes, and she said quietly, "Why am I worried? You are so obedient and obedient...just stay with me."

Tang Chengnian looked at the nose with his eyes from the beginning to the end, and his heart with his nose.It's true that she came here to practice, but definitely not to listen to the gossip of a group of virtual NPCs in the imaginary world.She still doesn't know what she will experience in this Taoyuan Township, so she naturally doesn't want to get too entangled with the people here.If she heard too many of their stories, she was really afraid that she would not be able to bear it in the future.
