Chapter 112 Life Forbidden Zone 11
"Why don't they want to leave?"
Yeah, why?
Jiang Ran asked himself the same question.
As the wheel of history rolls forward, there will always be some people left behind by the times.
Some cling to old systems and cultures, while others cling to their native lands, steadfastly adhering to the belief that fallen leaves return to their roots. Some move forward, their eyes fixed on the dazzling world, while others step back, their dreams of the rural countryside.
But facing everyone, Jiang Ran didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
They are all good people, but they were born in the interstellar space and raised in the Federation. They have hardly seen the original appearance of the earth before, and have almost no experience of working with their hands.
In their eyes, the skyscrapers and magnificent cities of ancient Earth were at most small, distinctive towns. They had no idea what it meant to be rooted to one's homeland, much less what it meant to be homesick.
So it's hard to explain.
Jiang Ran patted Fu Bo's belly and said, "Why don't you check what time it is? Why don't you go to bed?"
Fu Bo covered his round belly and wailed, "You are murdering me!"
"You haven't finished yet!" Ren Xiayang yelled. "Leaving the audience on suspense halfway through a story would have gotten you assassinated in the past!"
Zeng Pei was also very dissatisfied: "We will leave after you finish speaking. We will definitely not disturb your rest."
"You've been very disturbing."
Jiang Ran was firm in his attitude. He grabbed Fu Bo's collar with one hand and pulled Ren Xiayang towards the door with the other.
"Let's go to bed. We can talk about it tomorrow. I'm very sleepy."
After all, Jiang Ran was the only one who could communicate with the local residents. She didn't want to continue talking, and others couldn't force her, so they had to walk out reluctantly.
Fu Bo muttered angrily, "When I get back to the capital planet, I'm going to learn the ancient Earth language. Then I'll ask them myself!"
"Count me in too!" Ren Xiayang put his arm around Fu Bo's shoulder. "We have to be self-reliant! We don't want to rely on others!"
When Jiang Ran heard their words, his expression became complicated for a moment.
The local Tajik people speak Iranian, which is not a common language. Should we remind them so that they don’t waste their efforts?
As they thought about it, Fu Bo and Ren Xiayang were already close friends, arm in arm, and began to imagine that they were proficient in the ancient Earth language and could cooperate with the local people to develop the native Earth, which would attract the admiration of the entire galaxy and even make people compete to erect a statue for them in the Galaxy Hall to commemorate their great contribution to historical research.
never mind.
Jiang Ran thought.
Judging from how boastful they are, they are probably just bragging.
Xu Yang noticed Jiang Ran's expression and became more certain of his guess.
Jiang Ran was indeed familiar with the local language situation. This was not the common language of ancient Earth at all.
However, everyone has some little secrets that they want to hide, and Xu Yang is not so tactless that he would not expose her at this time.
The moon was at its zenith, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
After many days of traveling, this is the first time I have lived in a normal house with a bed and walls. The conditions are much better than before.
Everyone eats a lot at night, and when they are full, they feel sleepier and fall asleep almost as soon as they touch the bed.
They thought they would have a peaceful dream and sleep until dawn, but they were all awakened by the noise outside in the middle of the night.
The sounds of beating and scolding, metal colliding, and various other sounds that were difficult to make out, all mixed together, as if they were being performed on a stage.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Fu Bo wrapped himself in his coat and pushed open the door.
Ren Xiayang also just arrived in the yard: "I don't know, what happened outside?"
"Is it on fire?"
"Oh my god! It's possible! That thing called a kang is so hot, it's bound to catch fire!"
"Then let's go help put out the fire!"
"Where's the water?"
“…”
“Stop, stop, stop!”
Jiang Ran also walked out: "Don't you see how hot it is now? It's not that easy to catch fire."
"What's that noise outside?"
"You'll know when you go out and take a look."
As soon as I walked to the gate of the yard, I saw a large group of local people. They were carrying "weapons" such as hoes and brooms, with smiles on their faces, as if they had just won a battle.
When they turned around and saw Jiang Ran and his group of outsiders, they looked at them in surprise for a long time, but they thought that Gulandam had already greeted them in advance, so they were not aggressive.
Jiang Ran went forward to inquire about the situation, then came back to tell everyone: "They said that robbers broke in just now, and we have driven them away together."
"Robbers?" Everyone looked at each other.
Jiang Ran nodded: "That's what they said."
The Tajik people have been on Earth for thousands of years, making this an exceptional exception. It's unlikely there would be another such a short distance. Therefore, the only people entering the village at this time could be competitors like them.
Think again about the progress of the game.
Most of the groups probably hadn't finished the Pamir Highway stage yet, and the few groups that were making faster progress wouldn't have happened to bump into them, so the so-called "bandits" could only be...
"They should be the ones you're thinking of." Jiang Ran smiled and spread his hands. "Who else could be here at this time?"
Zeng Pei smiled and said, "This is really good news."
Fu Bo clapped his hands happily: "It seems I can have a good dream tonight!"
Jiang Wenxue and others were in a very embarrassing situation at this time.
They had just wanted to follow Jiang Ran and the others and seek shelter in the village, but they were immediately driven out by the villagers. In the panic, some people lost their balance and slipped on the snowy ground, some were hit on the head by dirty brooms, and some had their buttons ripped off their clothes. They looked terrible at the moment.
"What should we do now?"
"I'd like to know that, too."
They had tried to camp nearby before, but the terrain in this area was not very good, it was rugged and not conducive to camping.
At the same time, the temperature in high-altitude areas is very low, and branches wet by snow water cannot be used to make a fire. If you spend a night outside, you may find yourself in a life-saving bag when you wake up the next day.
Some people were dissatisfied: "Why can't Jiang Ran and the others be kicked out?"
"Maybe it's because Jiang Ran can speak their language?" A bodyguard nearby speculated, "During the day, I saw her chatting with that local kid for quite a while."
"Wen Xue can do that, too, right?"
"Well..."
Everyone winked at the bodyguard who asked the question, asking him to shut up.
The person who asked the question also realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and fell silent for a moment, looking quietly at Jiang Wenxue.
Even under the pitch-black sky, no one could see her expression, but they could still sense her gloomy mood, which made the already low pressure around them even lower.
In reality, their desire to stay in the village wasn't entirely unplanned. Jiang Wenxue confidently told them she'd learned the ancient Earth language and could communicate with the locals, which was why they chose to stay there.
However, things went against their wishes. After entering the village, Jiang Wenxue and the local villagers were practically speaking different languages, let alone communicating properly. Even if the other bodyguards couldn't understand a single word, they could tell from Jiang Wenxue and the villagers' expressions that they weren't speaking the same language.
This is very embarrassing.
What's even more embarrassing is that everyone thought this was a good opportunity for the boss to show off his language skills, and maybe even leave a famous scene, so they all opened a live broadcast room.
What was supposed to be a good opportunity to please the boss turned out to be a slap in the face.
That is, they are still in the game and cannot see the barrage in the live broadcast room. Otherwise, if the boss sees those bad comments and gets emotional, he might fire them all on the spot.
Everyone was so nervous that they dared not speak.
The atmosphere was oppressive for a while before Jiang Wenxue spoke to break the deadlock.
"I do know the common language of ancient Earth, but what those villagers speak is not a common language at all."
"Oh! Is that so?"
"No wonder!"
"I told you! Wenxue, you definitely wouldn't lie to us!"
The bodyguards rushed to agree with her, but Jiang Wenxue was still not satisfied and was determined to save her lost face.
"I doubt……"
Jiang Wenxue glanced in the direction of the ball.
"Could these villagers be fake?"
"Fake?" The bodyguard was confused. "How can a person be fake?"
"That's right," another man said, clutching his swollen arm. "They hit me really hard."
Jiang Wenxue interrupted impatiently, "What I mean is, these villagers aren't real locals. Could they have been invited here to act?"
"acting?"
Jiang Wenxue: "Think about it, thousands of years have passed since the great migration of mankind. How is it possible that there are still people on Earth?"
"Yeah," the bodyguard nodded. "Actually, I was shocked when I saw that little boy this afternoon. I always thought there were no more people on Earth. There aren't even any cities here anymore."
"Yes," Jiang Wenxue continued, "Even if I assume the most extreme scenario, that some people were really left behind during the great migration, they would definitely be a minority within a minority, just a small tribe. It would be considered impressive if they could survive for a few dozen or a hundred years. How could they still be here after thousands of years?"
Everyone agreed: "You are right."
Jiang Wenxue felt recognized and immediately became more enthusiastic in her analysis. "Not to mention, thousands of years ago, Earth's resources were depleted. Under such harsh conditions, even human survival became difficult. How could it have been possible to survive until now?"
The bodyguards beside him nodded continuously, and someone else added helpfully: "And they're not speaking the common language of ancient Earth. If they are native humans, this would be very strange."
"That's right," Jiang Wenxue concluded. "So I suspect these villagers aren't native ancient Earth people at all, but actors hired by the production team."
No one doubted Jiang Wenxue's guess, but one of the bodyguards glanced at the tracking ball in the dark night and asked, "Why did the production team hire such a group of actors?"
Now that things have come to this, what else could it be for?
A group of actors were specially invited to pretend to be native humans, and only Jiang Ran, Xu Yang and others were allowed to stay there, while others would be driven out as soon as they entered the village.
If you think about who benefits, you will know why.
However, in front of countless viewers in the live broadcast room, Jiang Wenxue chose to restrain herself temporarily.
It is not powerful to tell the truth directly. The audience must be allowed to guess, discuss, and explore on their own, and finally come up with an answer that they agree with.
She is very good at using this set of public opinion tactics.
"Maybe it's to test us."
Jiang Wenxue gave a simple smile.
