"This place is sealed, right?" Ye Wuchen asked.
"That's right, there's an invisible barrier around this place. Anything can only come in, but not leave. This barrier is very strong, and we can't break it even if we combine our powers. I kept waving my hand just now to tell you not to come in … Back then, my grandfather's grandfather and the others all fell into this barrier, so they're trapped here forever. But it's fine, my grandfather once mentioned that the mysterious power that saved my grandfather's grandfather and the others seemed to be related to this strange barrier. If that's true, without this barrier, I wouldn't have been born. " He looked at Ye Wuchen and said, "Since I was young, you're the first outsider I've seen. At first, I was shocked, and thought I was seeing things."
"But from now on, you can only stay here forever like us. Look … "
As they walked and talked, they quickly walked out of the forest. In front of them, there were patches of farmland that were neatly separated, and each patch was filled with all kinds of fruits and vegetables. Some had just revealed their sharp horns, while others had already grown. The four seasons here were the same, and the farming season could be decided freely. In the distance, they could occasionally see one or two blurry figures, each busy with their own work.
"This is our land and vegetable garden. There are many places like this, so even though we can't leave, we'll never starve. Further ahead is where we live. My grandfather, father, and many uncles, brothers, and sisters all live there. Further ahead is a forest, and there are many large wild beasts there. When we have nothing to do, we can catch them. That way, we'll have meat to eat, "Gong Luo explained to Ye Wuchen and the others passionately. After living in this sealed world for so long, the people here depended on each other and were one family. These young people had never come into contact with true evil. Even if they suddenly met an outsider like Ye Wuchen, they didn't have much vigilance. Instead, they were more excited. At the same time, to them, nothing was a secret. The so-called secrets didn't exist in this world that would never be open to the public.
"Everyone here has something they want to do. Little brother, you must be very tired now. Let me help you back to rest first. " Hearing Ye Wuchen's breathing become heavier, Gong Luo, who knew of Ye Wuchen's condition, did not dare to delay any longer. She tried her best to reduce Ye Wuchen's weight as she carefully walked towards their living quarters.
"Thank you."
"Hi! It's just a small matter, there's no need to be so polite, "Gong Luo replied casually.
The further they went, the more people they saw in the distance. A middle-aged woman walked over and greeted him from afar, "Third Baby, you're back so soon today … Who are these two people?" Suddenly seeing two unfamiliar faces that she had never seen before, the middle-aged woman was obviously shocked. She quickly walked over and asked in bewilderment.
This middle-aged woman carried a hoe and was barefooted. She was dressed in coarse clothes and had a large frame. Her hair was messy and her body was covered in mud. She looked like a peasant woman who had just returned from the fields. There was nothing special about her on the surface. However, as she walked hurriedly, her feet didn't leave a single mark on the soft ground. Ye Wuchen's heart trembled. A young man in his early twenties had a terrifying strength that left people speechless, and a seemingly ordinary peasant woman also had such a frightening cultivation. What kind of monsters were the people here!?
"Oh, it's Aunt Chun. These two fell from above and accidentally walked in here. I'm bringing them to see Grandpa," Gong Luo explained to her.
"Hello Aunt, my name is Ye Wuchen. This is my sister, Ningxue." Ye Wuchen responded with a polite smile. The middle-aged woman in front of him also gave him a very comfortable feeling. He couldn't feel any negative emotions from her body.
"Hello Aunt." Ningxue mimicked her brother's way of addressing her and timidly waved her little hand.
Aunt Chun looked them up and down a few times. Then, she softly exclaimed, "Mother, this is the first time I've seen an outsider in my entire life … Eh?" Her eyes flashed and she suddenly stepped in front of Ye Wuchen. She pressed her hand on his chest just like Gong Luo had done before. Then, she immediately retracted it and said in surprise, "This, this … Child, it seems like you've suffered a lot and were forced to jump down. Poor child, don't worry. Now that you're here, no one will bully you. Third Baby, this child's body is already like this, yet you're still supporting him like this. Come, come, Aunt will carry you. "
Gong Luo only snapped out of his daze after being lightly scolded. He slapped his head and embarrassedly laughed, "Aiya, look at my stupid brain. Aunt, let me carry him."
After saying that, he didn't wait for Ye Wuchen's response. He lightly swung his hand and carried Ye Wuchen on his back. "Aunt Chun, hurry up and busy yourself. I'll go see Grandpa immediately."
"What's there to be busy about? After so many years, such a big event has finally happened. How can I continue being busy? Come, little sister, I'll take you there. " Aunt Chun very enthusiastically carried Ningxue and secretly touched her white hair. Then, she and Gong Luo started walking forward. Their current speed could be said to be as fast as lightning.
The closer they got to the residential area, the more people they met. Whether it was adults or children, they all acted as if they had seen aliens. They put down what they were doing and ran behind them. This made Ye Wuchen not know whether to laugh or cry. What made him even more surprised was that Gong Luo and Aunt Chun's speed was so fast. Not a single one of them fell behind, and not a single one of them showed any signs of strain. They even chatted excitedly as they ran or asked a few random questions.
The people here were indeed a group of monsters.
"Look, this is a spinning wheel that we made ourselves. It can weave cloth that is very comfortable to wear. The cloth can also be dyed into all kinds of beautiful colors." When they finally entered the residential area, Gong Luo began to introduce in detail. When he talked about the spinning wheel in front of him that had long been obsolete by the outside world, Gong Luo's face was filled with excitement and pride. In his eyes, this was the most amazing thing in the world.
"Third Child, don't talk so much. Why don't you take a look at what he's wearing? Aren't you afraid of embarrassing yourself by saying it out loud? "Aunt Chun laughed as she scolded him. What Ye Wuchen was currently wearing was naturally not the white robe that had become tattered over the past two years. Instead, he had changed into the standard clothing of a young master that existed in the God of Swords' ring. Just the cloth alone was not something that an ordinary family could afford. Aunt Chun kept staring at his clothes and almost drooled. She silently thought to herself, "Such beautiful clothes. How good would it be if our family's soon to be married Third Donkey had one."
Gong Luo was embarrassed. He lowered his head to look at the animal skin clothes on his body, then turned back to look at Ye Wuchen's luxurious clothes. He smiled embarrassedly.
The arrival of Ye Wuchen and Ningxue was an earth-shattering event to this small world. It was an unprecedented event. For a moment, it was as if a hornet's nest had been poked. Everyone who received the news ran over from their own houses or from all directions. They gathered to watch as if they were looking at a monster. There were men and women, old men and old women who could barely walk with the help of crutches, and children who had just learned how to walk and could be poked with a finger. Their eyes were shining like little stars.
After a rough calculation, Ye Wuchen realized that there were at least three hundred people here.
The quiet and orderly world suddenly became extraordinarily lively, as if they were rushing to a big market. Gong Luo put Ye Wuchen down, waved his hand and shouted, "Everyone, please don't quarrel. This little brother's body isn't very good. I'll let my grandfather take a look at him. If you have anything to say, you can talk about it later, okay?"
Gong Luo seemed to have a very high prestige here. After he finished speaking, the noisy atmosphere immediately quieted down. The curious gazes also turned into concern. Ningxue was still tightly clinging to Ye Wuchen, her hands clutching him nervously. She rarely interacted with outsiders and was rejected by too many people. Being stared at by so many people at once, she instinctively felt uneasy.
The crowd was separated, and a gentle looking old man walked out. As soon as he stood out, the surrounding atmosphere immediately changed. Everyone's expression carried a trace of respect from the bottom of their hearts. With one look, Ye Wuchen knew that he should be the leader here, equivalent to a mayor of a small town. No group could lack a leader with prestige. This was like a necessary law of nature. He smiled and said, "Senior, I unintentionally stepped into this place and caused you a lot of trouble."
The old man didn't ask anything. He had probably already understood the general situation from the random conversation. Hearing Ye Wuchen speak, he chuckled. "Young man, our existence can't possibly be known by others, and normally no one would come here. For you to appear here, it must be the Heavens' arrangement. We can't wait to be happy, so how can there be any trouble? In the future, we will all be one family, so don't say such things again. "
As the old man spoke, the surrounding people didn't interrupt, but they all nodded in unison. Only no one showed an expression of rejection. Ye Wuchen sighed in his heart and immediately said, "I was being unreasonable. I think this place will soon become another home for me. "
The old man chuckled. "That's right." Then, his gaze turned serious as he stepped forward. "Come, let me see your body."
"Grandfather, little brother Ye's condition is very serious. Grandfather, do you have to try your best to think of a solution? Where are my parents? "Gong Luo asked.
"They went hunting and haven't returned yet." The old man casually replied. Then, he placed his hand on Ye Wuchen's chest. A scorching wave of air began to slowly circulate throughout his body.
Whether it was Gong Luo, Aunt Chun, or the old man in front of him, the internal energy they released all carried the same scorching heat. In comparison, the depth of this old man's internal energy was far greater than Gong Luo's. After a brief inspection, he withdrew his hand. His brows furrowed even more tightly. Then, he meaningfully said, "Young man, you probably didn't think that you would survive, right?"
"That's right. Fortunately, the Heavens took pity on me and let me keep my life. "After he finished speaking, he tightly grasped Ningxue's hand.
