Fantasy: Unlimited Investment, The Heroine Becomes The Villain

People are coming and going on the street.

The two of them were in the crowd and were inconspicuous.

There are a lot of people coming and going, so it’s not unusual for an old man to show up. It’s just that we’re in the Eastern Wilderness…

Luo Qinghan's eyes were covered with a layer of darkness. She saw Lin Yuan's actions and didn't say anything. She raised her feet and stepped up to his pace.

After Lin Yuan and Luo Qinghan walked away, a faint gaze flashed from the alley behind them, and a figure staggered out of the alley.

Under the sunlight, the outline of the man's appearance gradually became clearer.

If Lin Yuan and the others were here, they would immediately recognize the person in front of them as the old man they just passed by.

The old man stood on the street from the dark alley, looked at Lin Yuan and the two people leaving, frowned slightly, and murmured something.

"It seems...out of control..."

The voice was like a sigh, mixed quietly in the noisy environment. When passers-by heard the words, they felt a little bit more chilly all over their bodies. Just when they were about to look up for the coldness, they saw a wisp of green smoke coming from nowhere. came out.

A gust of wind passed by, and the wisp of green smoke disappeared in the air, as if nothing happened and no one noticed it.

…

After returning to the inn, Lin Yuan couldn't help but asked the waiter: Are there other villages nearby?

The waiter took out a simple map and handed it to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan took a look at the map and found that the approximate location of the village was basically marked on it.

He put away the map, took out a silver coin from his pocket and gave it to the waiter, and then left the inn with Luo Qinghan.

According to the map, the nearest village is about a few miles to the east.

As soon as they walked out of the city, deathly silence returned everywhere.

The sky was filled with yellow sand, and as far as the eye could see, there was no green at all.

Lin Yuan joked: "This is the real Eastern Wilderness~"

The prosperity of the small border country is just a flash in the pan, and this is the consistent style of being lifeless.

Before coming here, the waiter at the store specifically warned of the dangers outside, but for Lin Yuan, these had already become the norm on the road.

Even if it is bad, it is only for ordinary people like the waiter in the store.

For Lin Yuan and the two of them, Wan Jing was just a glimpse beside them, and then disappeared into it.

Luo Qinghan pursed her lips and walked slowly among them, not echoing Lin Yuan's words.

The figures of the two people were blurred in the yellow sand, and Lin Yuan's joking voice also turned into the sound of "rustling" wind, and left with the wind.

It wasn't until the surrounding wind and sand gradually slowed down that Lin Yuan looked up and found several black peaks emerging from the bare yellow sand.

"That should be the village."

Lin Yuan pointed there and walked a little faster.

As a result, the two of them had only taken a few steps when they were stopped by someone.

"who?"

Lin Yuan looked in the direction where the man was speaking. He never imagined that there were two gatekeepers disguised under the loess.

It's just that... this gatekeeper seems a bit young...

Lin Yuan twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a smile.

"passerby."

Unexpectedly, the gatekeeper is young but has a bad temper.

"Stop smiling so playfully and tell the truth, where did it come from!"

There was a hint of threat in the childish voice. If the weapon in his hand was made of black black iron, it might be more convincing.

The smile in Lin Yuan's eyes grew stronger, and he started telling lies.

"Come to the east pond, go to the west pond."

The two gatekeepers paused, their expressions tinged with confusion, and they muttered something under their breath.

"Do we have such a place here?"

"Maybe... I heard from my dad that the one outside is very big, and these two people don't look like they are from our side. Maybe they are from outside..."

Lin Yuan suppressed a smile, while Luo Qinghan glanced at the two of them and shook his head helplessly.

After the two gatekeepers finished their discussion, they looked up and saw that the two people had disappeared. When they looked again, they had already walked away.

"You...come back to me!"

"stop!"

The two struggled to catch up, but their steps were too small, making it difficult to catch up with Lin Yuan and the others.

After a while, Lin Yuan followed the pointed black guide and arrived at the village gate.

Although there is still the appearance of yellow sand everywhere, perhaps it is due to the fact that the village is located here, it is like a flower from the other side blooming in the land of death.

Born out of death, symbolizing new life.

As soon as the two reached the village gate, they attracted the attention of the villagers.

Everyone looked at Lin Yuan and the two with strange eyes.

Lin Yuan, who came to visit with the purpose of inquiring, noticed the villagers' cold attitude towards him, and consciously stood at the entrance of the village without entering rashly.

At this time, the two children who had been chasing behind them also ran up panting.

The two of them "subdued" Lin Yuan together, shouting.

"Let me see where you are going!"

"If I don't give you any clues, you really think we are afraid of you, right?!"

Lin Yuan looked down at the two children hugging his thighs, somewhat dumbfounded.

He was about to lift his feet when Luo Qing looked at him coldly, with a hint of warning in his eyes.

Lin Yuan thought for a while, and then relaxed the move he was about to lift his feet, letting the two children hug his thighs.

The noise caused by the crowd at the entrance of the village attracted the attention of the villagers.

Several middle-aged men came out, saw the two children hugging Lin Yuan, and quickly called them back.

As a result, the two children did not seem to realize their situation, but instead showed off triumphantly: "Uncle Zhang, look! I caught the bad guy!"

After trying several times to no avail, an old man walked out.

"You two, get back here."

The old man's voice was not loud, but it conveyed an undoubted majesty.

Lin Yuan could clearly feel that the bodies of the two people below him trembled after hearing the words, and then Shi Shiran let go of Lin Yuan and walked over with his mouth open.

When he reached behind the villagers, the old man spoke.

"Children are ignorant and have caused trouble for you two. I hope you two don't mind."

The old man spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. He did not show any timidity at all because of the difference between Lin Yuan and the two of them. Instead, he faced the two of them calmly.

Lin Yuan put away his arrogance: "It's okay, we are just passing by. If it disturbs everyone's purity, we will just leave."

Luo Qinghan looked at Lin Yuan's appearance, and his eyes softened involuntarily.

"Since we're here, it's fate." The old man touched his beard, squinted his eyes, and said with a smile: "This is like this for hundreds of miles around. If you two don't dislike it, it's not too late to come in and have a cup of tea before leaving. "

Lin Yuan met the old man's gaze and responded.

"OK."
