"Look, it's the outsiders."
"Mom, do they come from the outside world?"
"That sister is so beautiful!"
"Stay away from them. Be careful of being attacked."
A wilderness general brought Dean to the village. Along the way, many residents heard the news and came to watch. They stood in the distance and whispered. They were curious, excited, and afraid. Some of the older people frowned. Their faces showed disgust and hostility.
"Please." General Huang led the way for Dean.
The other residents followed them all the way to a relatively spacious rough rock house. General Huang said to Dean: "You can live here for the time being. I'll send some living utensils to you. If there's anything you need, just tell me."
Dean glanced at the house and nodded: "Thank you. Sorry to trouble you."
"You're welcome. I'll go back if there's nothing else." General Huang said goodbye to Dean.
Dean took Aisha into the house after General Huang left. The inside was almost as rough as the outside. There was a mat woven with weeds. Next to it was a stone platform. It seemed to be a table. There was nothing else.
Dean felt regret as he saw the shabby appearance. Three hundred years had passed. Even if there was a fault in the civilization, at least they could rely on creation to restore a simple civilized society. After all, the greatest talent of human beings was creation. But this place only maintained the environment of primitive barbarians. He was disappointed.
He took out a towel from his backpack and put it on the mat. He let Aisha sit on it to rest. He sat on the straw mat and quietly listened to the whispers of the residents who gathered outside. After listening for a moment, he found that the older people were hostile and wary of him. The young people and children were at a loss. They were just curious.
"It seems that after more than a hundred years, they have forgotten about it. Only the older people know about it. It's convenient." Dean thought.
The residents gathered outside the house for a few hours before gradually dispersing.
Dean stayed in the room and did nothing. He was lying on the mat and quietly listening to the movements around him. He felt that the great priest would definitely send people to monitor him, and even use some technological items to monitor him. After all, the technology contained in the place where she lived was not inferior to the technology of the old era. Judging from the environment here, it was obvious that the thing was not made by them. They were just the users.
"Little dumb mouse, little dumb mouse …" Suddenly, a tender voice interrupted Dean's thoughts.
Dean could not help but sit up from the mat, looking at a small head peeking at the door. It was a girl about seven or eight years old. Her face was red and cute. The little girl saw Dean and slowly came out of the door. She asked: "Big brother, have you seen Silly Mouse?"
Dean raised his eyebrows: "I haven't seen him."
The little girl replied with an "Oh." She turned around and left dejectedly.
Dean's heart moved: "I can help you find out. What does your silly mouse look like?"
"Really?" The little girl turned her head and said: "It's like this. It's very small. It's very timid. It's hairy and gray. Its head is very small …"
Her description was a bit confusing, but Dean still understood that it was a small pet the size of a cat.
His eyes flashed. He turned his head and glanced around. Soon he found something similar in size and shape. He smiled and got up: "I know where it is. I'll take you to it."
"Really, big brother?" The little girl was very surprised.
Dean stepped forward and took her to the corner of another rock house behind the house. In the corner, he reached out and grabbed a small gray fluffy thing. It looked like a mouse, but fatter than a mouse. Its ears were longer, like a rabbit. It looked cute and cute.
"Ah, it's a silly mouse." The little girl happily reached out and hugged it.
Dean smiled and touched her little head.
"Little Jasmine, Little Jasmine!" Suddenly, an anxious voice came from the side. Dean turned his head and saw a middle-aged man running out in a hurry. The middle-aged man turned the corner and saw Dean. His eyes suddenly widened and he angrily said, "You, you let go of me!"
Dean slightly frowned and put down his hand from the little girl's head.
The little girl saw the middle-aged man and happily ran over: "Dad."
"Little Jasmine, are you okay?" The middle-aged man squatted down to check the little girl's hair and body. He was relieved to see that there was no wound. He turned his head and stared at Dean: "Outsider, I'm warning you. Don't get close to our child."
The faint smile in Dean's eyes gradually disappeared. He quietly stood up and looked at the middle-aged man.
The little girl pulled the middle-aged man's clothes and looked up: "Dad, is he the outsider? He is not as fierce as you said. He helped me find the silly mouse."
The middle-aged man was startled. He looked at the cute little animal in her arms and seemed to understand. He looked at Dean and frowned. He didn't say anything. He picked up the little girl and turned away in a hurry. He soon disappeared from Dean's sight.
Dean narrowed his eyes as he slowly walked back to his house.
It didn't take long for an acquaintance to appear at the door of the house. It was Priley and his companion who had been saved by Dean. They were holding two stone plates in their hands. They were covered with a lid. There were a few grilled fish inside.
Dean smelled the faint aroma of the fish. He sat up and said to the two: "Why are you here?"
"Mr. Dean, I inquired about the place where you live. I know that you haven't eaten lunch yet. I specially brought you a few small fish. I don't know if it suits your appetite." Priley smiled. He put the stone plate on the table and opened the lid. There were a few grilled blue fish. There were a few light blue scales on the surface.
Dudi thought that they had come at the right time. He said, "Since you are here, let's eat together. I also have a few questions to ask you."
"No, no, we have already eaten at home. The amount here is not much. If we eat again then it won't be enough for you and Miss Aisha." Priley waved his hand and said. There was a trace of embarrassment on his face.
Dean saw him and looked at the few small blue fishes. He understood that it was very dangerous for them to venture out to hunt these small fishes. It showed how important food was to them. Looking at Priley's age, it was obvious that he was already married. He wasn't the only one who had the final say in the family. Fear of his wife seemed to be a thing that had never disappeared in the past five thousand years.
Dean didn't try to persuade them again. He also didn't reach out to catch fish. Instead, he said, "It's so dangerous outside. You are taking such a big risk to catch such a small amount of fish. What if you lose your life? Isn't it not worth it?"
Hearing him mention this, Priley immediately thought of his life-saving grace, and his face became even more embarrassed. He said in shame, "Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you that we could survive this time. We don't go fishing often, and usually only go once in a while, and we always go at the time that the Great Priest has calculated. Usually, when we go hunting at the time that the Great Priest has calculated, we rarely encounter any danger. This time, we were really unlucky, but fortunately we met you, otherwise we really wouldn't have been able to return."
"The great priest can calculate the danger of hunting?" Dean was surprised.
Priley's eyes showed a pious color: "The great priest has inherited the will of the Aragami. She can predict the good and bad luck. She knows all kinds of things in the outside world."
Dean was surprised. Didn't it mean that the great priest had a way to observe the situation around the outside world? Did she have a super detector or some kind of technological item?
Dean's eyes lit up. He didn't ask about this matter again but turned to another question: "I see that the wilderness generals here are very powerful. Why don't you let them go out to hunt? Wouldn't it be more reliable and the harvest would be more?"
"Desolate is going to guard this place. If we run into some vicious Desolate Beasts that discover this place and sneak in, they'll be able to find out in time and kill them. Things like hunting are all left to us Desolate Hunting Squads." Priley said with a laugh.
"Wilderness hunting team?"
"That's right, people like us who specialize in hunting in the wild." There was a trace of pride in Priley's eyes: "Mr Dean, I'm a captain of the wilderness hunting team."
"It's a captain." His companion reminded him.
Priley stared at him: "A captain is also a captain."
Dean saw the two joking and asked: "Are there a lot of people like you who go out to hunt? How can I join you?"
