Chapter 259 The Hidden Country
The first thing that appeared in Tao Wuliu's sight was a large area of ​​farmland.

Tao Wuliu was not surprised to see fields. After all, no matter where they are these days, everyone is happy to plant something wherever they can farm - but in his impression, farmland is often scattered. What is unique is originality. Those farmers will make good use of every inch of land accurately, which also results in many fields often not being as organized as imagined.

Yes, it's regular. The field in front of us is really too regular.

The rectangular farmland in front of him is so regular, even every corner is a standard right angle, and in this large field, various rectangular patches are divided for different crops... In a daze, Tao Wuliu also I thought what I saw was not reality, but a question in an arithmetic book.

The excessive regularity even brought about a strange sense of beauty, which made Tao Wuliu unable to take his eyes away.

"With such a large range, it can still be so straight...how can it be done?"

"Ah, if you ask this...ah, Mr. Cui is out."

Just when Tao Wuliu was filled with doubts, the prisoner who escaped with him spoke.

And Tao Wuliu finally knew the answer to the question.

Mr. Cui in the prisoner's mouth was easy to recognize. After all, the figure with the sword on his waist was too conspicuous, especially after the opponent drew the sword, it was as sharp as an unsheathed sword, even from such a distance. Tao Wuliu felt frightened for a while.

In Tao Wuliu's sight, the swordsman wielded his sword towards the crop field in front of him.

"Om-"

With the sound of a sword, the golden wheat in the field fell down neatly.

Neat, so neat, with one swing of the sword, only the wheat was cut off - as for the crops and fruit trees outside the wheat field, they were not damaged at all. The area covered by the sword was actually a perfect rectangle.

"Mr. Cui is amazing!"

"Beautiful! Xiao Cui did so beautifully!"

"One more! One more!"

On the edge of the field, the onlookers cheered. It was obvious that no matter whether this harvesting method would cause trouble, at least the people were extremely satisfied visually - but unfortunately, the man named Mr. Cui's swordsman had no intention of coming again. He just cut the wheat and then turned around and left.

Looking at the retreating figure, Tao Wuliu didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Until the prisoner next to him pulled up his sleeve.

"It's best not to talk about what's going on here."

"I understand, I understand everything."

Tao Wuliu nodded repeatedly.

That’s true. After seeing that unpredictable sword energy, only a fool would have the idea of ​​​​conflicting with a place like this. After all, that sword energy can cut large areas of wheat, and naturally it can also cut large areas. His head, if it were in front of the two armies...

Tao Wuliu didn't dare to think about it.

"Well, it's not what you think."

Seeing Tao Wuliu's cautious look, the prisoner scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Just, how should I put it, if you talk about the things inside outside, it doesn't matter. Mr. Xiao Cui doesn't have time to chase you... The main reason is that people outside are not very friendly to us. Do you understand what I mean? I That’s how he was caught.”

"……what?"

Tao Wuliu once thought he heard wrongly.

Although this is just a small village, there are extremely powerful swordsmen hidden inside. Facing an iron plate of this level, would anyone actually hit their head with it?

"Who knows what they are thinking, maybe they are crazy."

The prisoner shook his head, also looking helpless.

At this time, the villagers harvesting wheat in the distance had already warmly welcomed him, and a large bowl of hot tea was stuffed into the prisoner's hand - obviously, the prisoner was probably not from this hidden countryside. middle.

After the prisoner and a few villagers murmured a few words, Tao Wuliu also got a large bowl of hot tea. "It's like going back to your own home."

The prisoner patted Tao Wuliu's shoulder warmly, not treating him as an outsider at all.

After returning home wearing wet clothes, the first thing he did was naturally take a shower. So before Tao Wuliu could continue to observe the scenery of the countryside, he was thrown into the hot water bucket and washed. Afterwards, after putting on new clothes and coming out, Tao Wuliu raised his head and looked around, only to realize how miraculous this place was.

You must know that in people's eyes, being surrounded by mountains and rivers is already a good place, but this village is actually surrounded by mountains. The towering mountains are like natural city walls, which not only isolates the outside world from sight, but also makes it easy to defend. Difficult to attack - but this kind of place is usually a dead end. After all, being surrounded by mountains means a lack of water. However, a big hole was opened under the mountains to the west, and a gurgling stream was flowing along the big hole into the distance.

"……Um?"

Tao Wuliu couldn't help but rub his eyes.

Everyone knows that water flows eastward, but the stream that runs through the entire valley flows from east to west.

"how can that be?"

Tao Wuliu felt that his brain was not enough.

Is there really a river flowing westward in this world?
"Nothing is impossible."

While Tao Wuliu was stunned, the prisoner who escaped with him had already changed his clothes and walked out.

"Fortunately, I was shocked when I first saw it, but once you see it too often, you'll get used to it... As long as you are willing to do it, nothing is impossible."

"Wait, where are you going?"

Seeing that the prisoner was about to leave after speaking, Tao Wuliu quickly followed him.

After all, he was the only one he knew in this village right now. If the other person left, what would he do?
"Well, you can follow me if you want. I just need your help to tell me about the situation outside."

The prisoner thought for a while and asked Tao Wuliu to follow him.

"It just so happens that everyone hasn't been out for a long time, and they're all curious about what's going on outside."

"long time?"

Tao Wuliu was stunned when he heard this.

"How long is a long time?"

"I haven't thought about this. It's probably been a long, long time."

The prisoner scratched his head in embarrassment, but couldn't say anything for a while.

This made Tao Wuliu even more confused.

Just looking at the clothes of these villagers, Tao Wuliu couldn't tell much for a while, but their warm and hospitable attitude was quite ancient. Coupled with the shocking sword he saw before... this couldn't help but make Tao Wuliu... Wu Liu had some guesses in his mind.

While following the prisoner, he even saw many old people and children. Unlike outside, there was no panic or fear on the faces of the people here. Instead, they all had rare friendly smiles.

Of course, there are some who are not so friendly.

"People outside are so rude!"

In a main room that looked like it was used for discussions, an old man in a wheelchair slammed the table angrily.

"How dare they! How dare they!"
