After walking along this road for 20 days, they encountered several villages or towns. Li Yingjie and Lin Xiaoying also carried almost all the tools they needed.

Fortunately, both of them have relatively good physiques and have never been sick at all, so they think about medical issues completely differently.

Otherwise, in this wilderness, seeing a doctor is actually the biggest trouble.

And just today, at noon on the No. 20 day, after Li Yingjie climbed to the tree to check the surrounding situation, he suddenly stopped there in a daze.

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked down at Lin Xiaoying, and said loudly to her: "I saw it!"

Lin Xiaoying was adding firewood to the fire, when she heard his words, she was stunned for a moment, apparently not understanding what he meant.

Then, I heard Li Yingjie continue to say: "I saw traces of people, not far ahead, there is smoke, there should be someone lighting a fire there!"

There was excitement in his voice.

If before the system woke up, Li Yingjie's mood was mainly confusion, then after the system returned, his mood became urgent.

I am eager to know how to complete the task, and I am eager to find other people, and ask what is the situation of this so-called source.

And I have been walking along this road for more than 20 days, and I have encountered several villages and towns during this period, but I have never seen evidence of the existence of other people.

Until now, seeing the fireworks in front of me, the urgency in my heart finally showed itself unstoppably.

Li Yingjie grabbed the branch and swung it twice, quickly descended the tree, carried their tools on his back, covered the fire on the ground with soil, and ran forward with Lin Xiaoying.

The kitten took a group of wild beasts out to hunt and hadn't come back yet, but Li Yingjie felt that when it arrived in a while, it should be able to find it by following its scent.

As for now, Li Yingjie didn't want to wait any longer, and was eager to see what was going on with the humans here.

Lin Xiaoying also held this mentality, and the two of them were very fast, and after half an hour, they arrived at the place where the smoke wafted out.

From a distance, Li Yingjie found traces of human activities here.

The trees around here seem to have been deliberately planted, and the distance between them is very dense. In some places, the two trees are even tightly attached to each other.

Even in places with relatively large gaps, only one cat can pass through, and other larger animals cannot get through at all.

Following the gaps between these trees, you can see a house in front of you. Judging from the style and quantity of the buildings, it is more like the villages and towns they encountered before.

And these trees surround the house in front, leaving only a five-meter-wide dirt road in this direction.

But on this road, there are all kinds of organs and even traces of traps.

However, there are marks around these organs, some of them simply have a stone next to them, and a big letter "D" is marked on the stone.

Li Yingjie speculated that this may be the abbreviation of the English word "danger", which represents danger.

The people who live here probably speak English.

They walked carefully.

These traps were supposed to guard against wild animals, so Li Yingjie looked at the signs around him and walked in easily without triggering any danger.

As soon as he entered, he saw a man sitting in front of a room and taking a nap.

This is an old man with half white and half blond hair on the top of his head, fair skin, and a high nose bridge, but the skin on his face is loose, and he looks very old.

He squinted his eyes halfway. When he saw Li Yingjie and the others, he seemed to have woken up, but he looked straight at them without moving. The depths of his eyes seemed to be dazed, and he seemed to be at a loss.

"Hello, sir!" Li Yingjie greeted him with a smile.

After Lin Xiaoying heard this sentence, she suddenly realized that when she was a child, for a long time, everyone was proud of being able to speak a few words of English.

In ordinary communication, a few words of English are mixed in, as if this can make people appear superior.

When she was in elementary school, an aunt in the neighbor's house liked to talk like this very much.

She went to the street to buy an apple, and when she greeted her, she said, "Hello, sir!"

It would be fine if she just used hello, but when she asked the price, she had to add a few words of English.

"Master, is your apple worth five yuan and seven catties!"

Eat a rotten apple, but also don't forget to pursue the so-called tall.

But now, Lin Xiaoying concluded that Li Yingjie's greeting to this old man was not to show off his high status, but because his English was average, but he wanted the old man to understand him.

Lin Xiaoying couldn't help but reminded from behind: "If you greet me, just say hello. If you have other questions, I will help you in a while!"

Li Yingjie turned around and smiled at her.

He has studied English for so many years, but his oral English is still very weak, which is also the reason for his education.

Therefore, until now, Li Yingjie has only been able to recognize and read English in a simple way, and his spoken English is very poor.

However, Lin Xiaoying has attended many training classes since she was a child, and she has no problem communicating with others.

The moment the two turned their heads to talk, the old man sitting in front of the room finally came back to his senses.

He wanted to stand up in surprise, but just halfway up, his legs gave way and he fell down again, but he raised his arms and pointed his fingers at the two of them blankly.

"Ah! Ah!" He uttered these two syllables in his throat, but Li Yingjie didn't understand what they meant.

But after being so excited for a while, he didn't calm down. Instead, his head tilted, his whole body collapsed, and his arms drooped.

"Fuck!"

Li Yingjie screamed in fright, he thought to himself, maybe the old man belched suddenly when he got excited!

Then I have committed a serious crime. I didn't do anything after I came here, and I killed an old man first!

He hurriedly walked in front of the old man, first felt his breathing, then touched the pulse at the neck, and let out a long breath.

"Huh~ Fortunately, I just passed out!"

After realizing that the problem was not too serious, he didn't let it go. Instead, he carefully lifted him off the chair and laid him flat on the ground, allowing him to maintain a more comfortable posture.

The old man's condition was obviously not very serious. He should have passed out from excitement just now, but now Li Yingjie just put him to lie down, and he opened his eyes.

This time, his mood was much more stable.

He lay on the ground, looked up at Li Yingjie and Lin Xiaoying for a while, and suddenly asked nervously in English, "Who are you?"

Not only Lin Xiaoying understood this sentence, but Li Yingjie also understood it.

However, the two of you looked at me and I looked at you, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

How can this be explained?
