"Why waste your time talking to them?" An old man walked over slowly and spoke to the child.
His cloudy eyes stared at everyone.
"What does that kid mean? Are they going to perform a sacrifice? Are we..." Jiuyizi guessed in a low voice.
"Where are you from?" A gleam of light suddenly flashed in the old man's eyes, and he stretched out his hand and waved away the mist beside him.
This sentence was easy to understand, so Lu Nanyao spoke carefully:

Meanwhile, a group of white-haired people were nonchalantly holding bamboo baskets and counting their mushrooms.
