Lin Luo and others did not wait too long in the room before the village chief sent someone to call them to eat.

At first, they thought they would enjoy the food in the yard next door, but unexpectedly, they had to go to a square in Taoyuan Village to eat.

When they stepped out of the door, Lin Luo noticed that Zhang Yuan and his friends had quietly changed their clothes into coarse linen clothes.

Everyone looked at each other in silence and followed the young man who came to call them. After turning two corners in the village, they finally arrived at their destination.

The square is about half the size of a football field, with many tables placed on it, and many villagers sitting on the tables.

The old people gathered together, leisurely smoking dry tobacco and talking about trivial matters; the children ran through the crowd, chasing each other and playing.

There were many stoves set up around the square, and the smoke was rising. The women were busy wiping the tables and chairs, washing vegetables, and serving plates, while the strong men were responsible for serving the dishes. The whole scene was very lively.

………………

Aside.

"It's so lively!?"

Zhao Shuang stood quietly aside, with a hint of surprise and trance in her eyes.

She looked at the lively scene around her, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "Is this really just a fake world?!" At this moment, she seemed to be in the original real world, which made her feel confused, and she couldn't even tell whether she was in the real world or the rule world mentioned by Zhang Yuan.

The scene in front of them also made others suspicious, and they all expressed doubts about what Zhang Yuan said before.

At this time, Zhang Yuan still had a cold face and looked at everything happening in front of him with an indifferent expression.

The village chief walked slowly with a cane, followed by two young men.

The village chief said with a smile on his face: "Two distinguished guests, you came at the right time. It happened to be a major festival held in our village every ten years." Then he added: "However, our village banquet will not officially start until the night after tomorrow. Now we are just having a simple meal."

Everyone looked at each other, and the same question was revealed in each other's eyes. Zhang Yuan took a step forward and asked: "Village chief, what exactly does this so-called festival refer to?" The village chief smiled slightly and replied: "Hehe, it is related to the fortune of our village. I am sorry that I cannot reveal more. Please understand."

Everyone nodded to show their understanding, and their curiosity became stronger.

Under the instructions of the village chief, everyone sat down in the corner.

And Lin Luo and others also noticed that in front of the square, there were bamboo poles and some things for building a platform. A simple platform frame had been set up there, and there were more than a dozen strong men and young men with naked upper bodies busy.

The seven of them seemed a bit loose at the table, and two young men and a girl sat at the table.

The two young men were somewhat familiar with each other. As soon as he sat down, he couldn't help but ask, "Dear guests, what is the outside world like?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and instantly understood that this young man should not have left the village and didn't know what the outside world was like.

The young man and the girl next to him also looked at Lin Luo and others with curiosity and simplicity, their eyes full of yearning for the outside world.

In response to the young man's question, Wu Shan smiled and said, "The outside world is similar to this one, but there are more people and the houses are a little taller."

Wu Shan's answer was a little vague, causing the two young men and the girl to look at each other, with inexplicable disappointment in their eyes that could not be hidden.

Compared to Wu Shan, who was full of friendly smiles, Zhang Yuan looked very serious and serious. He looked around calmly, and then slowly asked, "What festival is going to be held in your village the day after tomorrow?"

They were not very clear about the time now, but it was obviously not the New Year.

The two young men looked at each other and scratched their heads a little embarrassedly. One of them said cautiously: "Actually... we don't know much about it. This is just a custom in our village. Such an event is held every ten years."

The answer of the young man made Zhang Yuan speechless, because they didn't say anything substantial at all.

The girl on the side seemed to want to say something, but after looking at Lin Luo and others, she finally chose to lower her head and remain silent.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan continued to ask: "So is there anything special about this event?"

However, the young people still looked confused and said that they didn't know.

Zhang Yuan asked several questions in succession, but the answers he got were all negative. His brows frowned more and more, and he muttered to himself: "Why did I ask for so long and didn't even get a useful clue?Didn't ask?"

The two young men seemed to know nothing about everything. No matter how Zhang Yuan asked, they always said they didn't know the answer and shook their heads.

Just as everyone was chatting, the steaming food was served.

After a while, all kinds of dishes filled the whole table.

The two young men took the initiative to serve everyone, while the girl carefully poured a cup of fragrant tea for Lin Luo and others.

After taking the rice bowl, Tong Tong and Wu Shan did not start eating immediately, but looked at Zhang Yuan from time to time.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan picked up the bowl without hesitation and ate it, and said to Tong Tong and others: "If you don't eat, you can only starve. "Hearing this, everyone saw that Zhang Yuan had already eaten several mouthfuls and there was nothing unusual, so they picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

The food tasted very good and was praised by everyone.

While eating, Lin Luo asked casually, "Is this festival held at a fixed time? Just like the Chinese New Year?"

The two young men looked at each other with a hint of doubt in their eyes. One of them shook his head and replied, "I'm not sure about this question, but it shouldn't be like this." After that, he continued a little embarrassedly, "This is just the third time we have participated in this event."

At this time, the girl who had been silent suddenly said, "No."

Everyone looked at her subconsciously.

Seeing everyone looking at her, the girl's fair face turned red, her head lowered a few points, and she whispered softly; "I, I heard from my mother that this time it was postponed for two days, yes, to wait for the eldest sister of the Li family to come back. "

The girl's words made Zhang Yuan pause while eating. His expression changed slightly. He seemed to notice something.

"Who is the eldest sister of the Li family?"

"She is the only college student in our village." The two young men spoke first with some excitement and envy; "She will be back tomorrow night."

As he spoke, one of the young men pointed to the girl who was wearing a ponytail, pink clothes and an apron and was helping to wash vegetables not far away; "That is the youngest sister of the Li family, the younger sister of the eldest sister of the Li family. They are twins."
