Even with Lu Xun's educational background, he couldn't understand what the old man was really talking about. He only knew these must be classical texts, and at that moment, he suddenly felt that his knowledge, which he was so proud of, seemed inferior in front of this elder.
"Don't bother with Grandpa. He often talks like this, probably because he's read too many books in the ancestral hall and gone crazy. You guests should hurry into the village; our village has not seen outsiders for hundreds of years," a burly middle-aged man came out and said.
Lu Xun and the others, suspicious, followed the middle-aged man into the village, leaving only the mumbling old man still muttering impossibilities.
Once inside the village, they discovered that it was very warmly arranged, with each household appearing to have an endless supply of food, and pork hanging from the beams, a scene only found in a time of prosperity.
