Lu Jing could feel that after the old man's words at the banquet, Xia Huai's heart began to shake clearly.

After dinner, the girl said to him, "I want to spend some time alone with my brother?"

"Of course." Lu Jing had no reason to object.

As far as the two of them saw and heard in the village during this period, the folk customs here are indeed quite simple, and the atmosphere of harmony and friendship does not seem to be pretending.

It's like the paradise depicted by Tao Yuanming in junior high school textbooks.

Even if he is as cautious as Lu Jing, he doesn't feel that he will encounter any open danger here. He even has to admit that if there is no trouble with the Dantian, living here for a while to cultivate his body and mind seems to be a good choice.

After Xia Huai left, Lu Jing was idle and continued to wander around the village.

Although the banquet had ended, the villagers did not disperse. They packed up the leftovers, washed the dishes, then lit the lights and started singing and dancing.

I don't know if his subconscious traits have been effective again, Lu Jing was also pulled by a passionate girl to dance a dance, and then a group of children surrounded him, and the children would follow him wherever he went.

He opened his clear eyes and looked at him drippingly.

Seeing a hint of embarrassment on Lu Jing's face, the girl who invited him to dance covered her mouth and said, "Don't worry, they are just a little curious."

"Are you curious that I came from the other side?"

"No, they are not unfamiliar with people coming from the other side, but they don't regret it for the first time." The girl giggled.

"We have already come to our village, and everyone has regrets that they want to make up for. We have also seen too many joys and sorrows, but your arrival... has not changed in the village.

"This is the first time I saw that stunned expression on Grandpa Zeng's face."

"Your Grandpa Zeng is the village chief?"

"That's right." The girl said as she picked up the wine pot and poured another glass of secret wine, handed it to Lu Jing. After the latter waved her hand and refused, she raised her head and drank it all.

"I dare to bet with you that he must still be thinking about your affairs now. He is a good person, but his personality is too old-fashioned and wishes that everything can be carried out according to the ancient traditions set by his ancestors.

"For Wuyou Village, we help the guests on the other side of the cave to make up for their regrets. If they are willing to stay, then our village can add new people. If they choose to leave in the end, we respect their decision. However, what Wuyou Village gives them will be taken back... It's fair, right?"

"Fair is fair, but will it be too cruel?" Lu Jing frowned.

"There is no way. If you want to make up for your regret, you will always have to come back. This is a test in itself. You must have enough awareness and belief to get back what you have lost."

The girl paused, "It's a pity, it seems that you are destined to stay."

After her words finished, the music sounded again. Then she put down her wine glass, twisted her waist, rushed into the crowd again, and danced, and the girl's passionate dance posture soon received a cheer.

However, Lu Jing's eyes were attracted by the wooden sword in the hand of a boy beside him.

The wooden sword was red when Lu Jing saw it before, because this color of wooden sword is relatively rare, Lu Jing couldn't help but take a few more glances.

However, the red on the wooden sword has become very light at this moment, and it is regaining the original color of the willow wood.

Lu Jing walked to the boy, squatted down, and pointed at the wooden sword in his hand, "Is this your sword?"

The boy nodded and waved it a few times in his hand.

"It looks really good. Did your dad make it for you?"

However, this time the boy shook his head when he heard this, and then said, "It was a young sister from the other side of the cave that gave me!" As he said that, he carried the wooden sword into his arms again, looking quite precious.

But a look of surprise flashed in Lu Jing's eyes.

This red wooden sword reminded him of another layer of forest among the eight scenic spots of the academy.

Yang Tao once said that all the people who enter the forest will be dyed red without exception, but there will be no other abnormalities, and the red will naturally fade away in a week.

In other words, just seven days ago, there were still people in the academy who came to another world.

However, starting about three months ago, only newcomers like him and Xia Huai who had just passed the assessment and were ready to be admitted to the hospital for study.

Could it be that some newcomers sneaked into this forbidden area like them?

Who would that person be? Yan Yun?

Lu Jing shook his head and did not continue to guess. Instead, he directly asked the boy holding the wooden sword, "What is that young sister's name and what does she look like?"

"She said her name is Aoi, and she looks a little lonely." The boy was as polite as most people in the village and asked questions and answers.

However, his words made Lu Jing stunned.

Kui was his guide, so after coming to the academy, he also inquired about Kui and knew that Kui was the most outstanding disciple of the academy in recent years and became a fifth-level supervisor at a young age.

And it was chosen by Guo Shaojian, but she was the last disciple of the academy and has been away from the academy for more than a year.

Lu Jing realized that he might have missed something before, so he continued to ask, "When did you see her?"

When he heard this question, the boy who had been polite before suddenly closed his mouth, then turned around and ran away with his wooden sword in his arms.

Seeing this, Lu Jing couldn't help but frown. He quickly turned to other villagers next to him to inquire about Kui.

The villagers also answered questions and answered questions, but when Lu Jing asked when Kui came, these villagers either shut up or said that they could not remember clearly.

However, after a while, Lu Jing also mastered the skills of questioning, so he found a child who looked about ** years old. This time he asked no longer a question related to Aoi, but just asked if the other party had ever seen a man with a national face and a height of about six feet tall and looked very serious.

And a man who is slightly short and half-headed, a little lazy, but has an unfathomable look.

All of them got positive answers.

At this point, Lu Jing gradually had some speculation in his heart. He did not delay any more and almost immediately ran to the previous courtyard to look for Xia Huai.

However, when he arrived there, he found that neither Xia Huai nor her lost brother had been seen.
