survival in the wilderness

Chapter 300 The Sinner
The clan elders agreed, and things were easy to handle.

Lan Xing said directly: "Please ask the clan elders to go over there one by one and answer some questions."

He pointed to the other side, where Lin Yan, Lu Yu and An Su stood, waiting for someone to come over.

Jing Chang was the first to go there. There was no other way. He was the one who let the person into the village. Naturally, he had to actively cooperate and try to solve it as soon as possible.

As soon as he caught a glimpse of Jing Dacai's ugly face, he felt flustered. This time he really offended him.

Lin Yan smiled at Jing Chang, and said gently, "Don't be nervous, we're just asking some common questions, we won't do anything."

Jing Chang nodded, very cooperatively said: "If you ask, if I know, I will definitely tell."

"Are there any other villages around Jingtian Village?"

"Yes, but they are far away. I have only heard of them, but I have never been there. I have been in the village all my life, and I have never been out."

"It's okay, no matter it's true or not, you just say it."

"I heard that the closest one is Dahe Village. It's a big place with lots of people and lots of land. It's a better life than ours. There's also Xialin Village, and Mang Village. Oh, I forgot. From Mang Village."

"Do you know how to get to Dahe Village and Xialin Village?"

"I don't know. I haven't been to other villages. It's too dangerous outside, so I dare not go out. I just heard it passed down from generation to generation."

"Who in the village has been outside?"

"No one, everyone who went outside died. Some ancestors of Jing Dacai's family went there, and brought back seeds and planting methods, and life in our village became easier."

"Have you heard of Wu Kingdom?"

"do not know."

……

After asking around, the clan elders knew about the same.They are all rumors passed from person to person, no one knows if it is true or not.

Lin Yan asked Lanyue to bring Jing Dacai here. The ancestors of his family had been outside and brought vitality to the village. After several generations, it took Jing Dacai's current status.

No wonder Jing Wang dared to commit crimes in the village, he has capital.

Nearly an hour later, Jing Dacai had resigned to his fate, and he just wanted to let him go as soon as possible.

Lin Yan said directly: "Where did your ancestors go, and what else do the villagers not know?"

"Going to Dahe Village." Jing Dacai obediently said, hesitated for a moment before saying, "My ancestor once left a message saying that the wasteland is full of sinners."

"Where is the wasteland, why do you say that?" Lin Yan was startled, and heard something new again.

"The wasteland is the place where we live. Why do you say that, the ancestor doesn't know. He heard it from Dahe Village."

It turns out that this place is called Wasteland, Lin Yan's heart skipped a beat.After asking a few more words, seeing that Jing Dacai really didn't know, he let him go.

With the restraint of the clan elders, for the next two days, no one would bother them where they lived.

After summarizing and analyzing the information given by the clan elders, Lin Yan said: "The ancestors of Jing Dacai's family should have come back from the west, which is consistent with the general direction we are going to. Dahe Village should be on the west side. We will set off tomorrow, all the way. west."

Lan Xing nodded in response, "Do you think what Jing Dacai said is true?"

"It's true." Lan Yue said with certainty, "He was scared out of his wits and dared not lie to us."

"The wilderness is full of sinners, how to explain?" Lan Xing was completely puzzled, "According to Lin Yan's speculation, the place we live in is called the wilderness, so we are also sinners?"

Lan Shu immediately retorted: "That's impossible. Our ancestors have lived here for generations. How could we be sinners? We didn't do anything."

Wen Xue said: "The wasteland is so big, we have been walking for more than a year, the sinners may not include us."

Lin Yan's eyes lit up, "That's right. The wasteland is too big, with ferocious beasts everywhere, high mountains and dense forests. It is very difficult to walk in it. Few people roam like us. Most of them are like these people in the village. Live in one place without moving your nest.”

"Just say what you want to say." Lan Xing urged, saying so much and still missing the point.

"I've thought a lot these past two days. The biggest possibility is that there are indeed criminals in the wasteland, and we haven't met them yet. We are natives of the wasteland. If we want to know more information, we must first find these criminals. Dahe Village is a clue. The people there must know something."

Everyone thought she was right.

When three days were up, Lin Yan and the others packed up their things and left quickly.

The villagers who were a little worried at first were afraid that they would not leave, but they left on their own initiative without being urged.

In the past few days, Lan Xing and the others have not been idle.They had a good relationship with Brother Jing Cheng, and taught the two brothers a few things by the way.

The two wounded patients treated by Wen Xue also survived, and they will be taken care of in the future.She didn't let it go, and left some medicine and doctor's orders for the injured family members to take good care of them.

Seeing the changes in the injured patients confirmed Wen Xue's ability, the villagers looked at her with fiery eyes, but they dared not force her to stay.

Riding oxen and horses, heading west all the way, rarely stopping on the way, except for the necessary rest, he kept on going, hoping to see Dahe Village as soon as possible.

If the speculation is correct, as long as they find Dahe Village, they should not be far from finding Wu Country.

What relieved Lan Xing and the others was that since Mang Village, they found that the people in Jingtian Village and Mang Village spoke similar words and could basically understand them.

I also learned from Jingtian Village that the words they spoke were passed down from their ancestors, and Dahe Village also spoke the same language as them.

Based on this, Lin Yan and the others deduced that these people were not natives of the wasteland, and should be related to sinners.

It is said that the grandparents of Jing Dacai's family had been away for several years before returning, and the journey in between may not be close.

Sure enough, until mid-July, they fled for their lives in the wilderness. After going through hardships and obstacles along the way, after abandoning two cows, they finally met a hunting team from Dahe Village.

The leader of the hunting team was Gu Yi, who came out hunting with more than 20 people. He was besieging a group of wild goats when he was disturbed by Lin Yan and others who appeared suddenly. Most of the goats were let go, and only three goats were hunted in the end.

Gu Yi and the others naturally didn't have a good look at Lin Yan and the others, and they were considered good tempered if they didn't hit up directly.

Lan Xing came forward and agreed to help them hunt five sheep, and the matter was settled.

Hearing from Gu Yi, the beasts in Dahe Village are very valuable and can be exchanged for many good things. Naturally, Lin Yan and the others got a lot of prey.

Dahe Village is indeed a big village, more like a small town, with a large population and a long history.

This place is not like a wilderness mountain village at all. There are brick and stone walled houses, and high stone walls are built around the village to resist the invasion of fierce beasts.

Lin Yan knew he was in the right place when he saw it at the first sight.

This is a place with heritage, there must be something she wants to know.
