At the entrance of Wuzhuang Village, there were people dressed as villagers on lookout. When they saw An Yi and Qin Yanran, although they thought they were two women, they went forward to ask cautiously.
Anyi gave the villager some scraps of silver and asked him to find a place to stay for the night.
The villager weighed the money for a long time, seemed to have finally made up his mind, and took An Yi and Qin Yanran into the village.
Behind the two of them, Chen Xiaowu and the red-robed army also took the opportunity to enter the village.
"You two should live here, and don't run around at night. There are mountains behind our village, and there are wild wolves at night!" said the villager.
An Yi deliberately pretended to be scared and hid in Qin Yanran's arms.
Qin Yanran comforted her in a low voice: "Miss, it's okay, we won't go out at night, just close the door tightly!"
The villager nodded with satisfaction, weighed the money and left the house.
The house was not far from the entrance of the village. It must have been unoccupied for a long time. The bedding on the wooden bed was also very damp and hard.
Qin Yanran lifted the quilt and finally arranged a place for An Yi to sit.
"This village is so quiet!" Qin Yanran said after listening for a long time, "There's not even a dog barking!"
An Yi also felt strange. Although they had just walked a while, they didn't see anyone along the way. Besides, it was just dark now, so it should be when everyone was just eating or walking around after eating. After all, it was summer night. The weather is hot, so I won't go to bed so early, but now there is no movement at all.
Qin Yanran took out a pair of shabby clothes from her luggage, put them on, and fiddled with them for a long time. The face of the villager just now appeared in front of An Yi. Although due to time constraints, only seventy-eight images appeared, but because it was at night, You can't tell it without looking carefully.
Qin Yanran whispered: "Madam, please wait while I go out and take a look first!"
An Yi nodded: "Be careful, this village is a little weird!"
Qin Yanran nodded, opened the window, and jumped out.
An Yi closed the window, leaving only a small crack, and paid close attention to the outside, but a quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, and half an hour passed, and Qin Yanran did not come back.
An Yi frowned. This village is not big, just a small village of forty or fifty households. It takes less than two quarters of an hour to get from the beginning to the end of the village, but Qin Yanran has not come back...
Moreover, she had just ordered Chen Xiaowu and the red-robed army to follow her into the village, but why was there no movement now?
Anyi slowly opened the window and looked out. It was completely dark outside now, with a few lone stars on the horizon and no moon.
The weather was extremely gloomy and depressing, and it looked like it was going to rain.
Anyi looked around to make sure no one was there and then jumped out of the window.
Anyi landed on the ground and felt that the ground outside was a little slippery and seemed to be made of moss. She was extra careful and walked towards the village around the meeting hut.
None of the houses in the village nodded. The whole village was dark and there was no sound at all. The stone houses were towering. Because there were mountains behind them, the houses were generally built higher than those in ordinary villages, and they were built next to each other. There was only one house, and the paths between the houses could barely pass two people, and many places were covered with leaves and weeds.
The further An Yi walked, the more he felt that this village did not look like a village inhabited by people. The atmosphere was very gloomy.
There is a temple in the center of the village, with a little candlelight coming from inside.
Anyi stood outside the door and looked inside, and saw that there were a bunch of stone statues of men and women in official uniforms enshrined in the temple.
