Next, Wang Ping didn’t look at the antics of the people in the group but began to think seriously.
Indeed, according to the simulator’s description, the people in this village were quite kind-hearted, otherwise, they wouldn’t allow him to stay overnight in the village.
He was killed because his snacks were mistaken for poison.
If he didn’t do that, he probably wouldn’t die.
However, Wang Ping felt it safer to wait until the early hours of the simulation before deciding whether to go or not.
It can’t be that he’s as unlucky as No.36 Traveler.
But why couldn’t something happen to him if it could happen to others?
He, Wang Ping, was just an ordinary person after all.
Although he was lucky enough to receive the Golden Finger for Life Simulator, which seemed to have good luck, was No.36 Traveler just unlucky?
“Let’s go…”
Wang Ping clenched his teeth, fists tight, and made a decision.
Then, Wang Ping took a deep breath, walked slowly towards the nearby village, his steps heavy.
When Wang Ping came to the entrance of the village, two strong men dressed in linen at the gate noticed him, directly gripping their long spears, and stared at him with sharp eyes, shouting, “Stop immediately, give your name and origin, otherwise don’t blame us for being rude.”
Red Fire Village was just this big, and everyone knew each other well.
Wang Ping was a stranger, dressed in strange clothes they had never seen before.
Therefore, they naturally judged Wang Ping to be from another place.
Moreover, through Wang Ping’s somewhat pale face and skin, and the lack of calluses on his palms, they could also judge that Wang Ping’s identity probably wasn’t ordinary people, most likely he was an outsider from the city with a very good life.
Finally, they could see that Wang Ping’s strength was pathetic, and he probably couldn’t compete with the children in their village, looking like an empty shell, completely like a weakling with a combat power less than 5.
This also made them label Wang Ping as non-threatening.
Of course, although Wang Ping wasn’t a threat, they also couldn’t let him just enter the village.
“My name is Wang Ping, I am a traveler who accidentally got lost in this forest and ran over here after seeing the smoke in the sky,” Wang Ping quickly raised his hands and explained.
“You got lost in the forest? How could you dare to break in here alone?”
…
A few minutes after, the village guard came back with an elderly man with white hair and beard at the entrance.
Although the old man looked old, his eyes were bright and spirited, giving an excellent impression that made people doubt whether he was really an elderly person.
“Hello, my name is Wang Ping, and I accidentally came here. Please allow me to stay for a while, Chief, and I will repay your kindness in the future,” seeing the chief’s bright eyes staring at him, Wang Ping felt the pressure and quickly bowed his hands and spoke.
“Hehe, our village is far from the hustle and bustle, and few people can come here. You can come here safely and soundly, which means you have good luck, and it is also a little fate with our village. So, it’s not impossible for you to stay for a while,” the village chief looked at Wang Ping with a deep meaning and laughed.
“Thank you, village chief,” seeing the village chief’s agreement, Wang Ping sighed in relief, bowed his hands again and said gratefully.
“No need to be polite, just follow me, I’ll find a place for you to stay.”
The village chief nodded his head, turned around, and walked towards the village.
Wang Ping quickly followed.
After they left, the two village guards looked at each other and murmured, “It’s really lucky for this kid to be a weakling, but he’s lucky enough to run alone in the Black Wind Forest and not be eaten by monster beasts or bitten by poisonous insects.”
The reason why few outsiders came to Red Fire Village was because it was located in the Black Wind Forest.
Although it was only on the outskirts, it was not a place where ordinary people could survive.
There were monster beasts and poisonous insects everywhere.
Not to mention a wealthy young master who couldn’t even compete with the children in their village, even some powerful martial artists could die if they weren’t careful.
This was still just the daytime in the Black Wind Forest. At night, it becomes more terrifying, with dangers lurking everywhere. Even an Innate Realm strongman would be in great danger if he didn’t find a hidden cave to hide in before nightfall.
And now, there was less than an hour left before sunset.
…
The village chief led Wang Ping down the village road, attracting the attention of many villagers.
These people were mostly the elderly, weak women, and children. The number of young and strong men was relatively small, and they seemed to be guarding the village.
When these people saw Wang Ping, they all showed surprise and curiosity, looking at Wang Ping.
Some children even curiously followed along.
At this point, Wang Ping couldn’t help but look around, very curious about the village.
At the same time, he guessed that most of the young and strong men in the village were probably out hunting, otherwise, there would be relatively few young men, mostly guards.
“Young friend, I don’t know where you come from, but I’m quite familiar with the outside world,” said the village chief suddenly, turning to Wang Ping.
At this point, Wang Ping came back to his senses, instinctively wanting to tell a random lie.
However, Wang Ping remembered that cultivators in the Profound World were not easy to deceive, and the village chief’s gaze seemed to see right through him, putting pressure on Wang Ping.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Ping said, “I come from White River Town, and I am the eldest son of the Wang Family in White River Town.”
There was no lie in this statement.
He did indeed come from White River Town, but it was the White River Town on Earth.
As for being the eldest son of the Wang Family, there was no problem either. He was the only child in his family, so it was no problem to call him the eldest son of a farming family.
“White River Town?”
The village chief frowned slightly.
He had never heard of this White River Town.
This was also very normal. Although he had some understanding of the outside world, he could only remember cities above the county level.
Villages and towns were too numerous in the Xia Dynasty for him to possibly learn about each one.
Besides, these places were not worth his attention.
