Returning after three years of reincarnation in the world of martial arts

Chapter 26

"The whole village was burned? Which village are you from? If such a big thing happened, the news will definitely report it. Why haven't I seen such news recently?"

The middle-aged woman questioned, paused, looked Li Zhongwu up and down, frowned and said: "Besides, you are wearing a suit. I don't think you look like a villager!"

Such doubts were expected by Li Zhongwu.

So he didn't panic at all, he just said calmly: "The mysterious village that was burned down in the primeval forest fire on the outskirts of Heishi City, which has been on the news, is our village. As for me, I don't look like a villager, that's because I studied since I was a child. I have been away from the village for a while now."

Middle-aged woman: "???"

The other three: "???"

There was a sudden silence in the office.

The middle-aged woman frowned and looked Li Zhongwu up and down, and said hesitantly, "Are you sure? The village outside Blackstone City that was burned together with the forest fire...is your village?"

Another woman expressed doubts, "Impossible? According to the news, no survivors were found in that village after the fire!"

The third woman said: "Besides, if what you said is true, why don't you go to Black Rock City to register your household registration? Isn't Black Rock City much closer to your village? Why come to our Tianfu City?"

The only male clerk in the office did not speak, but folded his arms and squinted his eyes to observe Li Zhongwu.

Li Zhongwu lowered his head slightly, his expression seemed a little gloomy, and he replied in a low voice: "When the fire started, I was hunting outside. When I saw the fire in the direction of the village and rushed over, it was already too late. The whole village was engulfed by the fire. I can't get in at all."

When one of the female clerks saw what he said, she fell silent, stopped talking, and couldn't help asking: "Then, why didn't you go to Black Rock City to register your household registration? Why did you come to our Tianfu City?"

Li Zhongwu looked up at her and said, "I don't know."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Another female clerk answered: "You don't know? Why didn't you go to Black Rock City? You said you didn't know?"

Li Zhongwu looked at her with a blank expression, "I don't have a map. I grew up in the village, and the largest range of activities is the forest around the village. I didn't know that the nearest city outside the forest to our village was Black Rock City. Afterwards, after I saw someone helping to bury my clansman, I just found a direction, walked forward, kept going, and after walking for more than ten days, I arrived at Tianfu City. I also came here and saw some From your books and your TV, I know that Black Rock City is the closest to our village."

There was silence again in the office.

The four clerks were digesting what Li Zhongwu had just said.

After a while, the middle-aged woman who received him first suddenly asked, "What's the name of your village?"

Li Zhongwu looked at her, "Li Family Village."

The middle-aged woman looked suspicious, and asked again: "You just said that you have never left your village since you were young, and you have never been to the outside world, so why did you speak our Dayan language? Besides, you just said that you came to After Tianfu City, after reading our books, how can you recognize our writing?"

The eyes of the other three people lit up, as if they had discovered a blind spot.

Li Zhongwu and the middle-aged woman looked at each other, and his tone was still calm, "It's not surprising. The patriarch told us that the ancestors of our village led their families to hide there because they avoided the war. Therefore, we should be the same compatriots of the species."

Suddenly, a female clerk said in surprise: "Hey, have you noticed that his accent is a bit strange!"

When she said that, the others reacted.

"Hey, does his accent sound like the accent of our city in Dayan?"

"It's true! Anyway, I can't think of any city in our Dayan with the accent like his."

……

The middle-aged woman did not participate in the discussion of the three colleagues. After thinking about it, she asked Li Zhongwu, "Although you are serious about what you say, how can you prove that you are a villager in that village? You can't say that you are in that village. Yes, we will trust you, shall we?"

The attention of the other three clerks was attracted again, and their whispered discussions were suspended.

Want evidence?
This is also expected by Li Zhongwu.

Under the watchful eyes of the four clerks, Li Zhongwu seemed to think for a while, reached into his arms, took out a small aluminum swallow, and handed it to the middle-aged woman.

"This Tangqian swallow is a birthday present from our patriarch. You shouldn't have such a thing in Dayan. Do you think it can be used as evidence?"

In fact, it was something he had just taken out of his carry-on space.

He got it in the world of "One Man's Martial Arts".

This Tangqianyan was imitated by the villain Feng Yuxiu in that movie world, and it has no value in itself.

In that movie world, every time Feng Yuxiu challenged and killed a master, he would leave such a fake swallow next to the master's body.

When Li Zhongwu was in the film world, he picked up one, and because he thought it was interesting, he kept it in his portable space and never threw it away.

Today is the first time he showed it to others.

"Tangqianyan? Isn't this just... a little thing?"

The middle-aged woman took the aluminum swallow suspiciously, and looked it up and down suspiciously. The other three clerks also came together out of curiosity to look at the little swallow, which was only about an inch long and wide.

"Yes, can this thing prove that you are a villager in that village?"

"Couldn't this be bought from a street stall?"

"What did you call this Yan just now?"

The reaction of the four clerks at this time was still within Li Zhongwu's expectations.

In other words, there are many things in his portable space, such as food and drink, various styles of ancient and modern clothing, shoes, disguise items and so on.

There are also some gold and silver ingots, copper coins, calligraphy and paintings, and even some good tea.

But before he came here today, he looked through it carefully, and there was really nothing to prove that he was a villager in the burned village.

After all, he is really not from that village.

And the imitation of Tangqianyan, the reason why he took it out was not to use it to prove his identity, this little thing was just an introduction.

Facing the questioning of the four clerks at this time, Li Zhongwu sighed softly and said: "In the old days, Wang Xietangqianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. There is an allusion to this Tangqianyan. When the patriarch gave it to me, tell me , in ancient times, there was a dynasty that liked to gather masters from all walks of life to the capital to compete in martial arts. The last one who won would be awarded the champion of martial arts and had a good future. Its hidden implication is that no matter how good a martial arts practitioner is, he is just a swallow in front of the eaves of the emperor's house. The patriarch gave it to me to remind me not to I always wanted to go to the outside world, and he advised me to stay in the village with peace of mind and live a stable life."

Four clerks: "???"

Their expressions showed that they had obviously not heard the allusion.

Suddenly, the only male clerk frowned, "So, your martial arts is very good? What's the name of the martial arts you practice?"
