We followed the silly big man to the dirt road in the village and saw that many villagers were also coming out of each household. They gathered together in one direction with their friends, and everyone had a happy expression on their faces. The prestige of the "village" in the silly big mouth among the local people was really high. We followed the villagers and finally saw an old man surrounded by a large group of children when we approached the village entrance: this old man must be the village head.

I did n’t rush in, but just looked behind the crowd. The old man called the village head looks like he is in his 70s, leaning on a crooked wooden walking stick, slightly hunched, not fat or thin, wearing a gray dust robe with a servant and a hat Down, revealing almost white hair. The old man's eyes are deep, his face is full of wrinkles, and he has the lead gray characteristic of the old people's skin, but the look is very good. The deep eyes is also energetic, and it seems that he has the old age in his eyes. Human-specific calmness and open-mindedness. The old village chief was surrounded by a group of children, and his robe was rubbed black and white by the gang of bear children in the village, but he did n’t seem to be annoyed at all, but lifted the wide front of the robe from the inside. Grabbing out rough sugar pieces one by one to distribute to the dolls, all the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together, and the old man was very angry: "All, all! Do n’t grab it, good boy. Do n’t **** it! Luan! Take care of children younger than you. "

The adults in the village formed a circle in a tacit understanding. No one went up to grab the limelight of the children. Everyone looked at the gang of children with a cheerful expression, and the children who received the sugar finally dispersed Open, some ran to their parents and received a light and slap: This is to teach them not to pull the village chief's clothes, then a group of bear children grabbed the candy and ran away. The villagers greeted the village chief, who was anxious or loved to join the lively youngster and jumped to the back to ask what was happening in the big city. The old village chief responded happily one by one, and then he lifts the head saw the most conspicuous stupid. ...

can do nothing about it, stupid big man standing in the crowd is like a tower, no matter how long, wide or high, he is two times larger than others. The old village chief looked at him standing at the back of the crowd, shouting loudly. Get up: "Silly big man! Why didn't you squeeze forward this time! Normally you have to run at the forefront of several anti-flying, is it turning now?"

People gave way, and there was a avenue between the silly big man and the village head. The former scratched his hair and responded roughly: "Hey, I'm leading the guests, I can't embarrass them."

"Ah, there are guests!" The old man came over in two or two steps, but his dexterity was like youngster. He looked at us amazedly, and there was a doubt in his eyes. "These guests are unfamiliar. Where is Ah?, I ’m the village chief of Songlin Village, Coto. How many of you have just arrived in these two days? ”

I was busy talking with my grandfather nodded, and I just wanted to introduce myself. I was very stupid and introduced it aloud: "Several noble guests came from the imperial capital. Chen is a scholar who travels and is a learned person. Others It ’s his family-but I did n’t remember the name ... "

I just realized that the silly big guy soon forgot our names! He still remembers a word for my name ...

"Emperor Capital?" The old village chief immediately traced a doubt on his face, and then looked at the clothes on our body. Lin Xue responded very quickly, and immediately stepped forward to explain with a smile: "Our hometown is the Emperor Capital, but has left from there It ’s been a long time since I ’ve been traveling with World. This is just back from a very remote place in the south. You see that the clothes we brought are from there. ”

“Oh—” The old village chief is of course smarter than silly, but his knowledge is obviously limited to the flat-headed people, he suddenly nodded, “No wonder. But a few of these dresses are not average person, this one The clothes on the girl are more like the noble Ojou-sama. "

The doubts in his eyes were still seen by me. The implication of the last sentence is: Looking at the Ojou-sama like a noble family, it is naturally not like a traveler traveling. As the head of a village, the old man was still subconsciously suspicious of us strangely disguised people.

The old village chief refers to Icetis—the only girl among me who is wearing a long dress. Shallow wears a casual outfit, Lin Xue wears jeans with fleece, although in the eyes of the locals are unconscious and very gorgeous high-level clothes, at least it does not affect the activity, only Icetis wears it as usual Her gorgeous dress and long dress looked nothing like the master of traveling around the world.

Actually, the Icetis dress has always been the biggest hidden danger when I fooled people everywhere to say that they are scholars: because apart from those who live in martial arts movies and palace dramas, average person can hardly believe that a normal girl can wear a piece of drag Skirts below the ankle are vigorously walking in the wild mountains and wild mountains, not to mention wearing this skirt to travel World: Normally, the dress of Icetis is only suitable for finding a castle of more than one hundred years, in which demeanor walks gently , I ca n’t walk 20 meters in five minutes, and occasionally go to the castle ’s towers to see the wheat field outside. waiting for literary youths play guitar below or force young people to set up a ladder to hook themselves up-but you think this bridge is bigger than me Does Ice Lord have any compatibility?

Although I know very well that Icetis can indeed wear this dress and walk vigorously in any environment, she can even wear this dress and ruin the World with a brick ... but I ca n’t always do it when someone questions this. Let Sister Bing show evening dresses to run in the mountains? I think it's interesting, but it's easy to cause Bing sister to burst and hurt people and she must be the first to beat me ...

Icetis looked down at the aristocratic fan full of clothes she wore. She smiled proudly at me, showing off her "noble temperament", and then picked up a fireball in the air, which caused a little sensation in surroundings. The village chief explained: "I am an high-level spellcaster. Wearing a robe is a professional need. It is necessary to change the robe to burn like this ..."

In the second half of her sentence, she obviously has no aristocratic temperament, but no one seems to notice any temperament or temperament: everyone is shocked by the fireball in her hand, and the old village head subconsciously bends down, full of respect: " It turns out that you are a spellcaster, no wonder. "

"The lice essence released yesterday found some information," Icetis explained in the spiritual connection. "Basically understand the characteristics of this World person's clothing habits and the characteristics of different classes and different occupations. Wait for time to tell you slowly."

I ca n’t check the nodded, I think this female rogue is really reliable at the most critical time.

Actually, her evening dress is a dress that is suitable for everyday wear, and it looks really a bit like a noble fan for everyone who does n’t know the truth: This female rogue is also good to see the back when she is not talking. The girl is here. It's just that in this World, things like dresses and dresses are still too "out of the working class". Of course, I don't need to think about these now. Icetis is the village chief as a spellcaster, so I don't have to plan how to make her perform late. The dress ran away ...

"The village chief, I hit the big guy yesterday, let's eat bear meat together at noon today," silly big guy has no feeling for what happened just now, even the instant fireball just now, he saw nobody When he spoke, he quickly opened his mouth, "The priest should already be in the square waiting for."

"Oh, stupid big guy is still capable," the village head reacted, and brought that cheerful smile, while warmly inviting us, "Several guests come quickly, this is the custom of our village ——The two little girls also came, and the meat can be eaten even if the meat is stewed. ”

Pandora silently accumulates rage, and Viska bounces up: "I am not a child! I am older than you!"

Why do n’t you believe this girl is okay? As soon as she jumped up, the surroundings people looked at this little girl who was only one meter two, and the big truth of Viska was just treated as childish. If this is on the battlefield or in the enemy-occupied area, within two seconds, there should be a blood flow within a hundred miles. Pandora and Viska can jointly blast all primates animals in the range below 1.2 meters, but they both know This place cannot be chaotic, so Viska began to silently gather anger with Pandora ...

The old village chief Koto smiled gently at Pandora sisters. His eyes stayed silently for a few moments, but his eyes were full of meaning. Then he leaned on a cane and surrounded the village with a bunch of villagers. Walking in the direction, the silly big guy greeted us and followed along.

I scratch my hair: what does his last look mean?

Anyway, we also want to quickly see what the so-called priest is. By the way, can we understand the details of the church and the belief of goddess? Then we followed the crowd and headed towards the square. Lin Xue deliberately slowed down. Walking with me at the end, suddenly whispered in a low voice: "A'Jun, do you think this old village chief just stopped talking when we saw our last glance?"

"I can see that," I ca n’t trace nodded, "It seems that I have some concerns about us, or I have something to say to the villagers, but I did n’t say it in front of us."

I just do n’t understand the concerns of the old village head: if you still feel that the identity of strangers who appear suddenly in our group is suspicious, or if you are curious about the strange clothes on our body, it is really a bit unreasonable.-Did n’t Icetis find a reasonable explanation? Besides, if the old village head is an old spy who guards the secret base, it ’s okay to say that this kind of person Innate has a kind of occupational disease that doubts everything. If a fly flies in front of them, if they are too big, they will quickly shoot it down to see Isn't it tied to a camera or something, but how could the head of such a small mountain village be so vigilant? The old man is the simplest old man in the country from the outside. He is highly respected and respected by the villagers. I estimate that the village is as high as Emperor. The local village head is probably not a civil service establishment. It stands to reason that such an old man is more ordinary than ordinary. The villagers have a lot of insights and hearts, and they are not reflected in the hostility to the outside world. theoretically cannot be so alert to a few strangers passing by.

"This village looks very simple and honest, and after contacting the locals, we can be sure that it is indeed hospitable," Icetis also said his observations, "Since yesterday, we have been fighting many people. I said hello, so I can basically rule out the possibility that the village has always been excluded from outsiders. So the village chief ’s doubts about us are not because of the status of “strangers”, but may be suspected of some other aspects, maybe we are lying Gun. "

The female gangster said so, but she did n’t care at all in her tone, but we did n’t even care about it. For everybody, this was a trivial matter. We were n’t here in such a small village. Everyone is on the shoulders when it comes to rubbing rice. How big can this situation compare to World peace? We just guessed here and there for some reason.

"Did you see anything?" at this moment I suddenly realized that Lin Xue hadn't expressed much opinion, but she was with the team Prophet. Except that the tactics to avoid evil were to come as a strategy book, at this moment didn't speak. .

"Actually, it's a small problem, don't care," Ojou-sama said without a head, "Everything will go smoothly, and when it doesn't go smoothly, it's not too late for Miss Ben to give advice. I only have one sentence to advance Say: Seeing is not necessarily true, do n’t be fooled by the first impression, and do n’t be fooled by the second impression. "

Prophet's reminder is still as good as ever ... half-understood, but she told us not to act impulsively, but to analyze the situation calmly, I understand it.

At this time we have come to the village square. This open space dedicated to the goddess image seems to have a lot of functions here. It is not only a "religious place", but also a gathering place for various activities, or the open air when the village gathers according to customs. restaurant.

The at this moment square has been laid out, with large and small wooden tables and a variety of chair stools distributed on the field in a nearly random manner, and there are a group of youngster who run more and more from the distance. Carry it over: It seems that not everyone went to meet the village chief, and many people stayed behind to arrange things for the party, which should also come according to some rules. I see that there are all kinds of tables and chairs, mostly with traces of handicrafts, and even a solid wooden pier and pestle directly on the ground as a stool. This must be something from all the households. Stupid big man is the person who contributed the most here: he was caught by the prey, of course there is no need to provide anything, but I guess he is providing it and no one is willing to use it-this big man has no long objects, and the entire house is searched. Three wooden chairs, the rest can serve as stools are the piles of stones in the yard, each half a ton, he and the few guys responsible for carrying tables and chairs did not kill the father ...

"Oh ... A'Jun A'Jun, how do I think of the temple fair?" Shallow happily wandered between this large table and chairs and the crowd, and when he came back, his face was red and excited, and he shouted and danced with me, " It's so lively! I went to the countryside for a temple fair when I was young, and I haven't seen it since junior high school ~! "

I also think that the battle in front of me is quite a temple fair (of course the scale is certainly not enough, but this atmosphere), it is really difficult to connect the scene with a goddess sect in Xingyu. Meal ". In fact, this sect may also be high-end foreign in places like the imperial capital. Before eating, there is an old man standing in a robes ahead to make a five-minute thought report with the people, and then all the people who have to eat have to bow their heads and do five minutes with God. Thought report, at the end, I still have to give goddess a neat "praise my Lord", the meaning is to say to goddess "I eat first, you are free", and then finish the meal and make a five-minute thought report with goddess Or eating experience: Anyway, I guess places like religious centers should be serious like this. However, in this pine forest village, everything was reduced to the situation before our eyes: a group of children and a shallow run around between the table and chair crowds, the villagers happily pulled their homesides while sitting casually, calling friends It attracted people's enthusiasm, and people were constantly taking out rough wine or snacks made by each family to put on the table. In the middle of the square, in front of the goddess image, an unprecedented huge pot has been put up, the thick soup is boiling, the meat is overflowing, and a black fat uncle who wears the robes of the gods around his waist as an apron is holding a shovel in the big pot. Stirring, this uncle still has a golden goddess badge hanging on his neck. He stews the meat while holding something that looks like a Bible. "Thank you for the food given by goddess! Thank you for the peace given by goddess! Thank you for the big peppers given by goddess." I still have the old soup ... Jon! Chop the remaining half of the paw paw and throw it into the pot-thanks to the paw paw from goddess! goddess, I put more TM salt ... "

Me: "..."

Icetis stared at the black big man who used the robes of priests as an apron, wiped his hands on the robes, and changed the word casually, murmured: "... this is the priest in the village?"

I immediately felt that I might not be able to find much from the mouth of this uncle-he did not necessarily read the Bible in his hand. Ask him to consult goddess legend. I might as well steal his book ...

Lin Xue dragged the arm of Icetis, and she was a little bit crying and laughing, but she could n’t help but say: "Then, do n’t go too far, Sister Bing, this is a religion created with a USB flash drive as its core. Their doctrine and star The domain is definitely out of sync ... "

Ojou-sama This is to make Sister Bing calm down and prevent her from killing the black uncle in front of the **** on the spot to make the majesty of the star field. As a result, Sister Bing's next sentence is beyond everyone's expectations: "This believer is too concubine. Appetite! Before the concubine, there was a pope who had almost the same temperament-but unfortunately the child died when the concubine was sealed. I haven't encountered such a co-coordinated believer in the past two years ... "

Me: "..."

It ’s understandable. Bing ’s standard for recruiting believer is that she ’s almost tempered. I peeped at the female gangster who was full of enthusiasm, and figured out what her pope had to do to make this gangster feel good. Finally I came to a conclusion: Bing Sister's position is high enough. If believer is thrown into any church with a normal view of three views, it probably belongs to the country and the people who are dragged out of the church and killed on the spot ...

But I looked around again, looking at the joyous children and the smiling villagers, and the black uncle who was still nagging like goddess and complaining in three prayers, and suddenly felt Probably such a believer is not bad: the maverick "priest" may not be very literate, but I believe he is sincere about the goddess he believes in.

Icetis seemed to sense what I was thinking, and said leisurely: "The believer prostrate and praying before the gods day and night may not be genuine, he may be guilty or may have desires and desires, but believer, who sat in front of the idol and complained to the idol about any grievances, was absolutely sincere. The concubine prefers to treat the second type of believer as a child. But sometimes they are too annoying. They popped out of the idols and gave them a mouthful: how old are they still crying in the confession room ... "

I opened my mouth and said nothing: It ’s hard to imagine anyone in the sister Bing ’s religion!
