C1476 Old Name
"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. The two of us aren't just passing by!" Bai Xiaosheng quickly explained as he looked at the villagers who came out with weapons.
"Our village's entrance clearly had the words' Waterless Village 'written on it, yet you actually came to our village to ask for water. You are clearly a bad person!"
The little girl pointed at him and shouted.
One of the villagers coldly spoke, "Is what she said true?"
Bai Xiaosheng didn't know how to reply.
If it was true, it proved that he really was like the other person, asking for water and drinking it. It was a taboo in the other person's village.
But if that was not the case, then why had he come to this village? For a moment he didn't know how to explain.
As such, after the other party finished questioning him, he was stunned in place.
"Look, he doesn't even dare to answer!" The little girl said loudly.
Bai Xiao regretted not seeing what was written at the entrance of the village when he first came in.
He had been too careless.
Seeing that Bai Xiaosheng didn't answer, the villagers took another step forward.
From the looks of it, if Bai Xiaosheng still didn't say anything, they were going to attack directly.
At this moment, Zhou Yi slowly took a step forward and said, "We came to your village to find someone."
"To whom?" A villager asked with a vigilant expression.
Bai Xiaosheng quietly pulled on Zhou Yi's clothes, afraid that he would say something that would set him on fire.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi smiled and said, "I'm here to find the descendant of the Thirteenth Minister of Heaven!"
"What?" How do you know the name of our previous village chief? " Everyone was shocked.
Zhou Yi replied, "Of course it's because we are old friends. It's just that we don't know that a thousand years have passed. Is he still alive?"
"Old Village Head has passed away. Now, it's his son, Tian Guan Qi, that's our Village Head. Since he's an old friend, then please come in. Please forgive our offense."
The leader of the villagers cupped his fist towards Zhou Yi and made a gesture to invite him in.
However, the little girl was still unwilling to let him go. "Since he knows our village chief, why does he still dare to mention the matter of borrowing water from us?"
"Little girl, don't be angry. His brain isn't well, he's spouting nonsense!" Zhou Yi said with a smile.
After Bai Xiaosheng heard this, he could only swallow his teeth. He had been too rash and almost caused a disaster. Luckily, Zhou Yi came back in time, so his brain didn't work.
Hearing Zhou Yi's words, the girl suddenly stopped struggling. She patted Bai Xiaosheng's arm with a serious face and said, "Since your brain isn't working properly, don't say anything. This will easily cause a misunderstanding. When the time comes, the ones who are in trouble will be yourself."
Bai Xiaosheng cried in his heart: "I know!"
Since Zhou Yi was an old friend, everyone else also dispersed, leaving the little girl's father to lead the way.
Bai Xiaosheng, who was standing behind Ye Zichen, was a bit frustrated. Since he was called Bai Xiaosheng, it was naturally because he had a different hobby of finding out all sorts of secrets.
Now that Zhou Yi was able to call out the name of the enemy's chief, and Zhou Yi was also sure that Zhou Yi was an old friend, what exactly was the reason behind this?
Bai Xiaosheng really wanted to know.
However, his Spirit Stone was not here right now, so he couldn't figure it out. Thus, he could only follow behind Zhou Yi.
There were several times when he wanted to go over and ask Zhou Yi, but Zhou Yi purposefully avoided it.
"How petty!" Bai Xiaosheng muttered at the back.
Not long after, the villager brought Zhou Yi and the other two to the place where the village chief lived.
"Village Chief, an old friend is here to visit."
The villager stood at the door and said.
A moment later, a voice sounded from within, "Please enter!"
Following that, the villager directly pushed open the door and gestured for Zhou Yi to enter.
Zhou Yi nodded slightly and walked towards the door.
After the two of them walked in, the villagers closed the door behind them.
This was an ordinary courtyard. There were even some wild vegetables drying in the yard. A middle-aged man was organizing the dried wild vegetables.
Seeing Zhou Yi and Gu Ruoyun enter, the middle-aged man stopped what he was doing and looked at them up and down, "Are you old friends?"
He seemed to be wondering where he had seen them.
"I came here a thousand years ago, when you were still a baby!"
Zhou Yi said with a smile.
"Huh?" The Village Chief was surprised for a moment, then laughed heartily. "Then I must say that I'm sorry, please come in."
With that, the Village Chief put down the dried vegetables in his hand and led the two of them into the house.
Entering the house and taking a seat, the Village Chief opened his mouth curiously, "Our Waterless Village is a desolate place, so normally no one comes here. I wonder, why did you two come here today?"
Unexpectedly, before Zhou Yi could answer, Bai Xiaosheng, who was at the side, finally had time to speak, and quickly said, "Village Head, I'm sorry to ask, is your village called Waterless Village really empty? How can you live without water? "
Hearing Bai Xiaosheng's question, the Village Head was obviously stunned.
Zhou Yi slightly closed his eyes. He didn't expect that this guy was really here to embarrass himself.
Therefore, he hurriedly said, "Don't be unreasonable!"
Bai Xiaosheng recalled his encounter at the village entrance and quickly said, "I'm sorry, I just don't understand. If I really did offend you, then I apologize here!"
Hearing this, the village head shook his hand and smiled bitterly, "This is not a secret, it's fine to tell it. Our Waterless Village is called Waterless Village because there is no water in our village, the reason is …"
Saying that, he looked up at Zhou Yi and continued, "The reason is because our village was cursed a thousand years ago!"
"Curse? Then do you really have no water in the past thousand years? " Bai Xiaosheng was too curious. He found out that there were a lot of things that he did not know, and every one of them was so unimaginable.
The Village Chief shook his head. "It is indeed a curse, but it's not like we can't drink any water. A few hundred miles away, there's still water!"
At this point, the village head sighed, "It is said that this curse can be broken a thousand years from now, but it seems like we still have no clue!"
"That's right, what a pity, if only I …"
At this point, Bai Xiaosheng stopped talking.
How could he have the face to continue on when he thought that the tools he relied on to survive would be lost to him?1
Seeing that Bai Xiaosheng did not say anything, the Village Chief did not intend to get to the bottom of this, so he turned to Zhou Yi and asked, "I wonder why old friends are visiting?"
Zhou Yi did not intend to hide it from the village chief. If it was really here, it would be easier to find it with the village head's help.
Therefore, he said, "The main reason why we came here today is because he has lost a very important magical equipment. After several rounds of investigation, we found out that this treasure is in your village!"
He didn't expect the other person to instantly change his expression after hearing Zhou Yi's words, "You mean that people from our village stole your things?"
