The next morning, early in the morning, there was a knock on the door of Li Wei's room, and the girl named Amihu came and knocked on the door.
They have even prepared breakfast, porridge with wild vegetables, which can be said to be the standard recipe for most ordinary people in this era.
"Guest, please go see the village chief early today. If you go later, you may not be able to see him." Chai Shilang also said.
Li Weihe looked at each other for a moment, as if nothing had happened, just like real travelers.
They didn't say anything about what they saw or analyzed last night, especially since they are still not completely sure what the situation is here.
Soon after, Chai Shilang took Li Wei and others to prepare to go to the village chief's house.
If only from the surface, this village was indeed very peaceful. He could even see many children playing with bugs and peeing on the ground.
The adults sat aside and chatted like retired people, and some even took their children to play in the snow, making it look like a paradise.
Even in Kyoto, ordinary farmers are either busy working in the fields at this time, or they are preparing to find a place to work while they have time. There is no such complacency as here.
Along the way, everyone who saw Li Wei was very surprised. Especially when they saw Li Wei's clothes that were incompatible with this place, they could immediately recognize that Li Wei was not from here, but came in from outside.
.
Before even taking a few steps, Levi saw a large number of people starting to gather around and look at him, as if they had seen the rarest thing. Both adults and children were extremely curious.
"Shirou, is this someone from outside?" an adult asked.
"Yes, yes, this is a guest from outside. I am going to take him to the village chief's house." Chai Shilang responded with a smile.
Li Wei smiled and nodded to the surrounding villagers, not upset at all.
Sure enough, there was no particularly old person in this village, either male or female. As seen yesterday, it was estimated that all the people over 30 years old had been sent away.
In this way, like stars over the moon, we arrived at the door of the so-called village chief's house. There were people waiting here for a long time. Maybe they had heard that Li Wei, a foreigner, had come here before. The village chief's family even came out to wait.
Levi.
However, what Li Wei thought was completely different. The village chief and his family were all standard human beings, not monsters. He looked like an amiable old man. When he saw Li Wei, he immediately said: "Your Excellency is really from outside."
People? Where are they from?"
"The gods are here." Li Wei did not tell the truth.
"Shendu...Erlang, hurry up and prepare the banquet and entertain the guests." The village chief said hurriedly to a middle-aged man at his side.
After saying that, he quickly invited Li Wei to come in and take a seat.
This is completely different from what I imagined. Last night I and Gouzi thought that the village chief might be a demon with a high probability, and the whole village is his captive pasture. But today it seems that the village chief is completely an ordinary person.
Levi sat down suspiciously. Not long after, he heard the heart-rending cries of chickens, and then the smell of blood. Soon, Levi saw the turbid wine placed on the table.
"Guest, I'm sorry, we don't have much in this small place. I can only entertain you with wine and chicken banquet today." The village chief also gave Li Wei a nondescript courtesy, which was probably like cupping his hands and bowing slightly.
"Village chief, you also raised chickens?" Li Wei found it very strange.
After all, outside, not even the Fujiwara family raises chickens. He has never seen a place where chickens and ducks are raised even though he has been in the main world for so long. If there are chickens, they are only raised by some nobles as tools for announcing the dawn.
.
It can be said that the five-legged crabs that can be seen everywhere in China are rare here.
"Yes, we have a lot of chickens here. Are there no chickens outside?" The village chief was even confused by Li Wei's question.
Levi shook his head.
"That's really strange." The village chief felt shocked, sighed, and quickly asked, "How is Izumo Country? What has become of the Kamidu now? Are they still descendants of Susana?
Became the emperor? What about the Ampei family?"
The village chief's verification seemed very urgent, but the questions he asked made Li Wei's mind fly directly to four hundred years ago.
"The Izumo Kingdom has been dead for a long time. Now the gods have been occupied by the current head of the Fujiwara family, and the country is named Inazuma. There is even a country named 'Sakura' after the Izumo Kingdom." Li Wei said directly.
Back to.
"Alas, is Izumo Country really dead?" The old village chief could only sigh endlessly for a moment.
At this time, Li Wei began to be a little confused about what was going on, and why the village chief Hahata expected something completely different.
At this time, the smell of chicken soup even came from the inner courtyard.
"Izumo Kingdom has been dead for nearly four hundred years." Li Wei said directly.
"So, what about the current emperor? Is he still a descendant of Lord Susana? What about the Ape clan now?" the village chief continued to ask.
Li Wei explained one by one to the old man in front of him. He mentioned that the Abe clan had now changed his surname to the Tsuchimikado clan, that the current emperor claimed to be a descendant of Amaterasu, and that there was another point that Li Wei did not mention. They also thought that theirs was
Descendants of Xu Fu.
But looking at the village chief's behavior, he definitely doesn't know about Xu Fu.
The village chief sighed again and kept talking about Susano'o.
"Dare you ask about the village chief's background?" Li Wei also asked tentatively.
"Excuse me, my guest, for your explanation. The people in our village are actually members of the Soga clan who fled here during the Izumo Kingdom. In order to avoid Orochi's rule, we abandoned the Emperor and other families and fled here alone.
Then it slowly turned into the village it is now." The village chief sighed.
"Suwo family?" Levi suddenly thought of this family in his mind.
The Soga family, the most famous of which is Soga Asako, is not a small family. It can even be said that before the rise of the Fujiwara family, the Soga family was the largest family in the entire Weihara, and the rise of the Fujiwara family was
He rose to the top by stepping on the Su family.
During the Izumo Kingdom era, the Soga family was similar to the Prime Minister's family.
And the village chief claimed that he was a member of the Suga clan who had fled here, which had to surprise Li Wei.
"But these are all old stories. Now we are just ordinary people in the mountains. We can't take it seriously. We can't take it seriously." The village chief waved his hands repeatedly. It can be seen that he was very emotional after hearing Li Wei's information.
It took a while.
Li Wei touched the dog next to him, and the dog kept analyzing the current information.
Really, it's so strange... It seems like this has completely overturned the judgment they made yesterday.
"Village chief, I heard yesterday that there is a mountain god in the village. Whenever people over thirty years old have to go with the mountain god to defend against foreign enemies?" Li Wei asked directly.
"Alas, guest, actually there is a deeper secret behind this." The village chief looked sad, "Actually, this is the price our lineage paid for betraying the emperor. There is no such thing as a mountain god. It's just that our lineage has been cursed.
, people over the age of thirty will be haunted by evil spirits. In order to avoid affecting other people, I made up such a lie to the people in the village."
Levi: "???"
"curse?"
"Yes." The village chief sighed, "We are actually the sinners of this world, and we are all punished like this. Therefore, when we are thirty years old, we will find a place where no one is alone to understand ourselves and avoid harming our families.
.”
At this time, there was a knock on the courtyard door, and a voice came: "Father, the chicken soup is here."
"Come on, come on, bring it to the guests." The village chief said quickly.
Not long after, a large bowl of chicken soup was served. The village chief hurriedly presented it to Li Wei and said, "Guest, come and have a taste. This is also our thanks."
After saying that, he poured himself a small bowl and divided a little bit.
Levi lowered his head and thought at this time. He no longer knew which one was true and which one was false. According to what the village chief said, it can be said that he did not find any monsters or fortifications when he entered the village.
It works.
But in this case, more doubts will arise.
Seeing the way the village chief was drinking the soup, at least he probably didn't put any medicine in it.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Village Chief, but I will rest for a while and prepare to leave for Ezo Country." Li Wei also spoke slowly.
"Hey, stop talking, let's eat first." The village chief picked up the wine glass and toasted Li Wei, then drank half a bowl of chicken soup.
At this time, the initial turbid wine was no longer enough, and the village chief said quickly: "Ono, come and serve the guests wine."
Not long after, Levi only saw a girl who was about fifteen years old coming over with a bottle of wine, filled him up with a glass, and then slowly left.
"This is the youngest daughter of my family, Su Ga Xiaoye. It's a pity that she is only twenty-eight years old and has not fallen in love with anyone yet." The village chief said to Li Wei as if he was careless.
Li Wei pretended not to hear, toasted the village chief with a glass of wine, and then gave part of the chicken to Gouzi.
The dog started to chew happily, and Li Wei also had a lively chat with the village chief, sharing glasses of wine, as if he was missing old friends he hadn't seen for many years.
The old village chief also seemed to know everything and began to talk about the classics handed down from the Izumo Kingdom era. They were the Soga clan members who fled after discovering that Yamata no Orochi began to occupy the emperor.
At that time, Orochi had not even completely occupied the Izumo Kingdom, and the Sword Master had not yet been born. They realized that something was wrong and fled to this deep mountain and old forest.
Li Wei also explained the subsequent history in detail to the village chief one by one, including the Heian period, the Taira regime, the Genji shogunate and the current Inazuma country. He gave the village chief detailed answers one by one.
The village chief said very happily, and was temporarily planning to let Li Wei stay for a few days.
Li Wei did not refuse and agreed.
I just spent a few days temporarily at the village chief's house. These days, the village chief entertains people with good wine and meat, and the girl named Soga Ono will appear next to Li Wei from time to time, either serving food or...
While pouring wine, the village chief lamented from time to time that the youngest daughter in his family had not been able to find anyone to marry.
Li Wei just responded normally and didn't respond to anything.
On the third day after Levi came here, that night, after pretending to be asleep, Gouzi quickly came to Levi: "Boss, are we going to stay here like this?"
Although it has been living a good life these past few days, with bones and meat every day and plenty of food, it doesn't know why it always feels goosebumps all over its body, and it always feels like something is wrong just staying here.
"And the village chief, he seems to have taken a liking to you, boss, and wants you to marry him. I can feel that their daughter is deliberately getting closer to you every day these days." Gouzi continued.
"I understand, this is a very common strategy and I don't need you to remind me." Levi frowned. He used a substitute to explore the entire village chief's house in the past two days and found that there was no problem at all.
There were no dungeons, no bones, and no traces of demons were found. It was just like a normal country village head's house. This even made Li Wei doubt his previous guesses.
Is this village really just a village built by the Soga family who escaped from the disaster, and after the weirdness broke out, it was just because of good luck that they escaped the weirdness in the past twenty years?
As for Utopia, maybe it’s just a coincidence that it has the same name?
"Boss, how about we..." Gouzi made a motion of slitting his throat. He always felt that something was wrong here, but he couldn't figure it out, so he decided to strike first.
"No, I said I want to leave here tomorrow and see how the people here react. If there is no problem, we will leave directly." Levi made a decision. He has not found any problems these days. As for Gouzi's consideration
Li Wei has never thought of killing someone like that.
Of course, there is another way to control illusions, but the illusions that Levi gets are similar to how he pulls others into a place he has built. There is no way to do it more elaborately. It is similar to torture others and not letting them go.
extent of discovery.
"Before I leave tomorrow, I will try to use illusion." Levi said this.
In fact, it is also because the village chief at least treats him well these days. He greets him with good wine and meat every day, and does not regard Li Wei as an outsider at all. Although there are many small thoughts in it, this is also the reaction that normal people should have, and
Nothing out of the ordinary.
The dog doesn't have too many ideas. It can at best be a mount and a dog-headed strategist at the same time.
But tonight, it doesn't seem to be very peaceful.
At night, the door of the room where Li Wei was sleeping opened, and a figure walked in softly. She saw Li Wei who seemed to be sleeping soundly on the bed. Her movements seemed to be even gentler, and she slowly came to the bedside, seemingly
Start taking off your clothes.
The dog stood aside and didn't dare to say anything or ask anything. He could only cover his eyes and pretend to sleep, or wait for Li Wei's order, and he would immediately transform into a kobold and start hacking everyone here to death.
However, Li Wei didn't make any move, and the whispering sound continued to be heard. Only the slim figure in the darkness was left with only a piece of light clothing. Then he gently opened the quilt and lay down together.
However, she was slightly confused as to why the people around her were still wrapped in thick clothes even after they went to bed.
When she was about to untie the clothes of the person on the bed, she saw an empty figure under the thick clothes, like an invisible person.
When she was about to scream, the substitute covered her mouth, and then the word "roy" appeared in her pupils.
