Everyone followed Wen Ling and walked through the tangled forest for a long time. Wen Ling was also in a daze, feeling that the surrounding environment was sometimes familiar and sometimes strange.
"Shudu..." Wen Ling pointed to the bare branches around him and said.
In late autumn, it is difficult to see fresh leaves in the forest. There are withered and yellow trunks and branches everywhere, making it look desolate.
The Taoist priest asked, "Wen Ling, when did you leave Weiruo Village?"
Wen Ling recalled it for a moment, then stretched out his hand and held up three fingers.
"You've been away for three years," Qin Yin said in shock, "then you really shouldn't remember the way back..."
Wen Ling shook his head, shook his three fingers and said, "March."
Xiaolan counted on her fingers, "Did you leave in March?"
Nod nod.
"That's only half a year," Qin Yin said, "don't you remember now?"
I feel a little embarrassed to ask Ling.
"Actually, it's understandable. It was still spring when Wen Ling left. Now it's autumn. The leaves have all fallen. It seems that the environment has naturally changed." The Taoist priest explained for Wen Ling.
Everyone walked for a long time, and just when others began to think that they were lost, Wen Ling suddenly became energetic. She stroked a tree trunk a few times, and then ran towards the right side of the jungle.
Xiaolan took a quick glance at the tree trunk and saw a very abstract little man carved on the trunk.
It seems that Wen Ling remembers this tree!
Everyone quickly followed up. The further they walked, the denser the surrounding trees became, even to the point where they could still block the view even without a tree crown. Wen Ling ran faster and faster, but fortunately she was weak, no matter how fast she was, she could still run faster.
Not that fast…
Xiaolan thought that the secret path would suddenly appear in front of them, but Lu didn't see it, and Xiaolan noticed something else.
"There are so many footprints on the ground," she said loudly.
Everyone stopped and looked down at their feet.
The black soil on the ground was still a little damp, and through the withered yellow leaves scattered all over the ground, you could indeed see dense footprints.
Qin Yin subconsciously raised one foot, "Didn't we step on it?"
"We can't make so many footprints," said the fool, "it would take at least dozens of people."
Everyone looked at Wen Ling.
What's going on?
Wen Ling's face was a little pale, but she didn't seem to have any clear ideas.
The Taoist priest looked into the distance, "The footprints spread from there, I asked Ling, is that over there..."
Looking at Wen Ling's eyes, they already knew the answer.
That direction is Weiruo Village.
These footprints come from Weiruo Village.
Everyone no longer hesitated and started running quickly. This time they no longer needed to ask for guidance. They followed the guidance of the footprints and walked through the jungle for a few minutes. Finally, among the dark trees and bright flowers, they saw Weiruo Village not far away.
This is the simple village that Xiaolan saw in Wenling's memory.
"We're here," Qin Yin gasped, "It looks...it feels like it's not much different from other villages."
She said this quietly, but Xiaolan did not object.
For this village, the only special thing is probably its identity as "Sanyan Gathering Place".
This path was buried in the dense forest, and everyone walked around it for a few more times before officially setting foot on the land of Weiruo Village and entering the village.
Xiaolan and Wenling looked at the buildings in the village with the same eyes.
Ah, it's still the same as before.
only……
"It's so quiet here," Baomu's voice was also very soft, "It's like... it's like there's no one there."
Not only them, Wen Ling also doubted this.
Even if there is one person, the surroundings cannot be as dead as now.
Wen Ling staggered for two steps, looked at a closed courtyard, and walked over on his own.
"Hey Wenling..."
Qin Yin quietly poked Baomu from behind, "Does it smell like someone else?"
"No, I can't smell anything," Baomu said in a low voice, "But that doesn't mean anything. Sometimes I can't smell the smell of Wenling. It seems that this is also one of Sanyan's talents."
"I hope..."
At this time, Wen Ling had opened the courtyard door indiscriminately and ran towards the room door shouting.
"aunt……"
Is this the home of Wen Ling’s aunt?
The door was unlocked, so Wen Ling opened it immediately.
Everyone was nervous for a second, for fear of seeing something they didn't want to see.
But inside, it's just an empty house.
This is a simple and cozy farmhouse with few rooms but very spacious. The room is filled with the smell of dust that has been closed for a long time, and the ground is also covered with dust.
Also, footprints.
Someone has been here.
Wen Ling also saw those footprints. With a pair of red eyes, she hurriedly searched all the rooms.
There is no one at all.
is empty.
And those footprints were all over all the rooms.
"Look at the dust, it must be at least a month or two old," the fool said. The footprints should have been left not long ago."
It's that group of people.
"Wen Ling, why did you leave Weiruo Village?" Luo Jiutian asked.
Wen Ling's eyes and nose were a little red, and he looked pitiful.
"grandfather."
"Did your grandfather ask you to leave?" Luo Jiutian then asked, "Did you say why?"
Wen Ling shook his head aggrievedly.
Xiaolan remembers that past event clearly.
Nothing is clear, nothing is understood.
I only have one sentence, Wen Ling, please leave Weiruo Village.
"What did you think of?" The fool looked at Luo Jiutian who was in deep thought and asked.
"I think Wenling's grandfather is not just asking Wenling to leave," Luo Jiutian crossed his arms and thought, "but that all the Sanyan people are going to leave, and Sanyan is going to move the settlement."
"Then it's not like we don't tell Wen Ling," Qin Yin said.
"Sanyan is different from other races. Although not everyone will have a special appearance like Wen Ling, such a large group of people migrating collectively will definitely arouse suspicion," Luo Jiutian explained, "Maybe Wen Ling is the first wave
Let’s go.”
Baomu suddenly realized, "Those footprints in the forest were left by the last wave of people who left."
Xiaolan lowered her head and stared at the dust and footprints on the ground.
Since there is thick dust here, it means that Wen Ling's aunt's family may have left long ago.
As for these footprints…
"I know, these footprints were indeed left by those who wanted to find the Sanyan people," Xiaolan said, "that is, the group of people in the hotel, and the people who kidnapped Wen Ling, they wanted to find the Sanyan people.
Yan, they want San Yan’s eyes.”
Qin Yin agreed with this statement, "That's okay, Wen Ling, you see you are still worried. It seems that your family members are all gone, so that group of people got nothing. Otherwise, why would they care about you?"
But this did not reduce the anxiety in Wen Ling's eyes.
Wen Ling didn't find her aunt, so she turned around and walked out of the house.
"grandfather!……"
She shouted aimlessly and rushed into another house.
