I'm not sick! So do my other personalities!

Is the road wide? !

Zhou Zhen was stunned for a moment, Lu Xingkuan was dead!

Moreover, the time when he entered the time and space tunnel was obviously different from the time when Lu Xingkuan entered the time and space tunnel. There was a difference of many days!

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen reacted quickly and immediately thought of the reason...

This is ancient times!

It's "the past"!

And Lu Xingkuan’s death time was 2127!

Therefore, what he encountered now was the road that entered the space-time tunnel more than half a month ago!

The other party entered the time and space tunnel much earlier than him.

The other party must have collected much more information than him now.

In addition, Xingkuan was able to leave the space-time tunnel alive in the end, which means that as long as he follows the other party, he will be safer!

So Zhou Zhen nodded quickly and whispered back: "Master Lu, this is Zhang Xi. How much information have you collected now?"

He had never heard of the names Zhang Xi, Xu Xiang, Wang Kui, and Li Hao.

But in the current situation, I know that these four people are all subordinates who followed Lu Xingkuan into the space-time tunnel. He pretended to be anyone and first explored what important information Lu Xingkuan had here.

It wouldn't matter if he was exposed. Anyway, in this situation, Lu Xingkuan couldn't fall out on the spot.

Hearing this, the boy behind him immediately said: "How can we collect any information in just one night?"

"By the way, how is your current 'digital energy' recovering?"

Just one night's work?

Zhou Zhen frowned slightly and immediately knew that Lu Xingkuan entered the time and space tunnel more than half a month earlier than him, but the time when he came to this side of the time and space tunnel was the same as him!

Both of them came to this village last night!

Also, the restoration of “digital energy”…

He has no "digital energy" at all now, and Lu Xingkuan should be the same, otherwise why would he come here to drink hot soup?

The other party was worried about his subordinates and deliberately conducted a test.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen replied very naturally: "You can probably use the 'digital domain' once. Mr. Lu, what about you?"

As he spoke, he looked behind him.

The boy behind him was obviously stunned, but he quickly returned to normal and said immediately: "Me, me too..."

"You only have the 'Third Step'. I didn't expect you still have so much energy left."

"I was still worried about you last night. I don't have 'digital energy' to protect myself."

"Now I can have some snacks."

Zhou Zhen's expression remained unchanged, and he became more certain in his heart that Lu Xingkuan was in the same condition as him.

None have "digital energy".

In terms of force, he is just an ordinary village boy.

He looked around calmly. Among the children gathered at the village chief's house, only he and Lu Xingkuan were confirmed to be compatible from the time and space tunnel. The other children all looked like aboriginals in their speech and behavior.

The four people Lu Xingkuan mentioned, Zhang Xi, Xu Xiang, Wang Kui, and Li Hao, may have traveled through time and become adults in the village, or they may be other children who were not present.

Based on these clues, it can be determined that there are currently seven known compatible people in this village, including him: him, "Nine-tailed Fox", Lu Xingkuan, Zhang Xi, Xu Xiang, Wang Kui, and Li Hao.

However, Lu Xingkuan entered the space-time tunnel more than half a month earlier than him, but it was the same time as he entered ancient times.

In other words, those compatible people who entered the time and space tunnel after him and the "Nine-tailed Fox" will most likely appear at the same time!

If this assumption is true, then there must be more than seven compatible people in the village now!

There are six or seven people on the "Fourth-dimensional Utopia" side;

Over at the "Twilight Trial" and "Twelve Sages", the specific number is unknown, but someone must have come in.

Not to mention the official, the number of people who came should be the largest.

A conservative estimate is that there are at least dozens of compatible people in this village!

Next, before you find the "nine-tailed fox", it's better not to reveal your identity casually...

Just as I was thinking about it, a woman's smiling voice came from in front of me: "Come on, hold on tight!"

When Zhou Zhen came back to his senses, he saw that the children in front of him had all received the hot soup and left the queue. Now it was his turn to stand at the front of the queue. The woman next to the big pot, He prepared a bowl of soup and handed it to himself with a smile.

At this time, there was still half a pot of hot soup in the pot. There was a layer of oil floating on the surface of the soup, and the aroma of meat was overflowing. It was particularly appetizing on a cold winter morning.

Zhou Zhen swallowed subconsciously, stretched out his hands to catch the wooden bowl, and said, "Thank you."

The woman who was making soup smiled and touched his head: "You're so good."

Then, she let go and picked up a wooden bowl again. After filling the hot soup, she handed it to Lu Xingkuan behind Zhou Zhen.

Lu Xingkuan took the soup, said nothing, and followed Zhou Zhen, who had just left the team.

The two of them avoided the other children in a tacit understanding and walked towards the hedge a little further away.

The two of them walked a few steps and came to a leeward place next to the hedge. It was said to be leeward. After all, the hedge was sparse and it was not too warm. Except for the two of them, no other children came over. There were only a few chickens. I walked around, digging at the dirt, trying to find some bugs or grass seeds.

Zhou Zhen quickly looked around the entire yard. The other children were all concentrating on drinking their own soup, including the original owner's two friends, Shu Dou and Zhong Song. At this moment, he couldn't pay attention to other people at all. He lowered his eyes and held a wooden bowl. , cherishing the rare taste of meat.

A gust of cold wind blew, and after being slightly filtered by the hedge, it firmly blew away a considerable part of the heat from Zhou Zhen's body.

Zhou Zhen felt as if his whole body had fallen into an ice cellar, and his skin seemed to be pricked by countless steel needles. It was numb and painful, and his movements while holding the bowl became extremely stiff.

He quickly raised the bowl to his mouth, wanting to take a sip of hot soup to warm himself up first.

But after he lifted the wooden bowl, the aroma of meat hit his nostrils. Smelling the smell of soup, he instinctively felt that something was wrong.

In ancient times, there was a lack of materials and know-how to remove the fishy smell. It is normal for the broth to have a strong fishy smell. The aborigines here have been short of meat for many years, so it can be ignored.

However, Zhou Zhen grew up in a modern society with abundant supplies. He smelled this fishy and strange broth, and even though he was cold and hungry, he still felt nauseated.

Just when he was hesitating, Lu Xingkuan beside him had already tasted a small sip of the soup, stopped immediately, and said in a very low voice: "I want meat!"

Want meat?

Zhou Zhen instantly understood the meaning of Lu Xingkuan's words. Lu Xingkuan was the person in charge of the isolation point in the high-risk city of Ling'an and had tasted the meat of two-legged sheep.

Therefore, his experience in this area is much sharper than his!

The next moment, Lu Xingkuan stopped hesitating, holding the wooden bowl, and started drinking heavily as if nothing had happened.

The two of them lined up near the end of the queue. The soup in the wooden bowl was no longer very hot. Lu Xingkuan quickly drank the hot soup and licked the bottom of the bowl with unfulfilled interest.

At this time, Lu Xingkuan noticed the untouched soup bowl in Zhou Zhen's hand, and immediately whispered, "Drink quickly!"

"Our current bodies cannot withstand the wind and cold."

"Hurry up and finish your drink and go meet Xu Xiang, Wang Kui and Li Hao."

Zhou Zhen didn't move, let alone drink now, just smelling the smell made him want to vomit!

If it wasn't for the purpose of concealing his identity, his first reaction just now was to throw away the soup and the bowl!

As he thought, Zhou Zhen glanced at the child who came out of the village chief's house. The child was still looking at the leftover soup in the pot, but the woman who made the soup didn't want to serve it to him at all. mean.

Zhou Zhen thought about it seriously and suddenly said: "I have no appetite now. My 'digital energy' can handle this little bit of wind and cold."

With that said, he handed the soup bowl directly to Lu Xingkuan, "Master Lu, drink more."

Hearing this, Lu Xingkuan looked at Zhou Zhen in surprise. However, although he felt that Zhou Zhen was acting a bit strange, looking at the hot soup with oily flowers in front of him, he wondered if it was because he had already drank a bowl. , at this moment, it was as if I had seen the supreme delicious food, saliva was secreting rapidly in my mouth, and I couldn't refuse it no matter what.

So, Lu Xingkuan couldn't wait to answer Zhou Zhen's words, took the soup bowl directly, and drank it in big gulps, as if the soup in the bowl was some kind of life-saving medicine or the secret medicine of longevity, full of eagerness and desire.

Zhou Zhen stood nearby, watching this scene quietly.

Soon, Lu Xingkuan finished the soup and returned the empty bowl to him.

By this time, most of the children had finished the soup and were licking the wooden bowls reluctantly, as if they didn't want to let go of any bit of oil.

The two women making soup also started to clean up, first carrying the big pot back to the house, and then carrying the big basket, shouting to the children to put the empty wooden bowl in: "Uncle Dou, don't lick it." No more! If you lick it again, you won’t have to wash this bowl!”

"Bo Du, it's cold in winter, so you're not allowed to use pond water to wash dishes... I just drank hot soup. Doing so will cause abdominal pain!"

"Don't run around, put the bowl in quickly, don't make any mistakes..."

After a while of laughter and scolding, the wooden bowls and wooden spoons were put back into the big basket one after another.

After the two women carried the big basket back into the house, there was a sudden ping-pong-pong-pong sound from the kitchen side, as if they were cleaning up.

At this time, a middle-aged man came out. He was estimated to be in his forties or fifties. His skin was dark and rough. A considerable part of the hair on his head had turned white. He was thin and had many wrinkles between his eyebrows. Considering the living conditions here, It's more difficult, and his real age may be a little younger.

He was wearing a short jacket that looked like faded indigo. The outer shirt was a little thick. He also had a pair of thick handmade shoes on his feet. He had a beard and was holding a piece of black cloth in his hand.

After the middle-aged man came out, the children who had started playing and playing in the yard suddenly subconsciously gathered towards him.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhen and Lu Xingkuan also moved among the crowd, wondering in their hearts whether this middle-aged man was the village chief?

What is the other party trying to do?

While thinking, I heard the middle-aged man raise his hand and clapped his palms.

Bang bang bang!

Clear claps echoed in the yard. A few children who were so engrossed in playing that they didn't notice him coming out heard the sound and hurriedly ran towards him.

Seeing all the children gathered in front of him, the middle-aged man smiled a little and said loudly: "Today we will play 'Touch the Blind', are you all ready?"

The children in the yard have just drank the hot soup, and their complexion is much better than before. They are all very active now, shouting in a hurry: "Okay!"

"I'm fine too!"

"We're all fine!"

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, and then said, "Today Ji Li plays the 'blind man'."

As he spoke, he waved to the child who came out of the village chief's house, "Ji Li, turn around, your back to everyone, don't peek."

The child named "Ji Li" immediately turned around and faced the adobe wall.

The middle-aged man walked over and covered the other person's eyes with the black cloth in his hand.

Then, he said in a calm voice: "I'll count to ten and the game begins."

"Everyone, hurry up and hide."

"Remember, you can only hide in the yard, not leave the yard!"

"Whoever is caught will have his turn to play the 'blind man' tomorrow."

"one!"

"two!"

"three!"

"Four!"

Hearing this, there was a sound of children running in the yard. The children who had just gathered together dispersed and immediately looked for a hiding place.

Uncle Dou was the quickest thinker and did not follow the others to run away from Ji Li. Instead, he walked silently on the muddy ground with his bare feet. He held his breath and quietly approached the thatched house and came to where Ji Li was facing. Next to the wall, lying on the ground, motionless.

Zhong Song followed the crowd. He first got in the crowd and ran to a position far away from Ji Li. Then after looking around for a while, he followed the two slightly older boys and started climbing the persimmon tree.

There were several children who had similar ideas to him, and they all pushed and shoved fiercely under the persimmon tree. Finally, six or seven children climbed up and squeezed among the branches. The other children could only leave in anger and choose other places to hide.

Lu Xingkuan simply slipped into the hedge and huddled in a tricky corner among the vegetable beds.

"five!"

"six!"

"seven……"

These children obviously often play similar games. Before the middle-aged man can count to "ten", most of the children have already found a hiding place.

Until this moment, Zhou Zhen walked unhurriedly towards a place where there were no other children.

"eight……"

When the middle-aged man counted here, the movement in the kitchen suddenly stopped, as if the adults cleaning up inside suddenly stopped all their movements.

"Nine……"

The middle-aged man who was counting also left the yard and quickly returned to the thatched house.

"ten!"

Finally, the last number came out from the house. At the same time, the door of the thatched house closed silently, and the entire yard seemed to become an independent space at this moment.

All the children held their breath for a moment and did not make any sound. The yard was silent for a moment, except for the howling north wind.

Ji Li turned around little by little and started looking for someone.

Because his eyes were covered with black cloth, he could not see anything. He walked very slowly, with his hands stretched out in the air in front of him, groping randomly, and his walking posture was also cautious and wading forward, which looked very strange.

This scene was exactly the same as what Zhou Zhen saw from the window last night!

Zhou Zhen looked calm. He stood by an empty courtyard wall, watching the other person groping towards him little by little.

The second update is later, it won’t be too long, sorry.
