The small talk with the old people was very pleasant. In less than a morning, Xu Feng already knew the gossip of this village almost like the back of his hand.

Although they still follow the traditions of the past, families with special professions do not have any privileges in normal times.

Like the lives of other people in the village, in this environment, comparison means nothing.

Seeing that there was still some time before lunch time, Xu Feng began to look for Shugao's home in the village.

The old man pointed in a general direction and gave an approximate location.

But the houses in this village all look similar, and the two people have different understandings, so it will take some time to find them.

The sun has already risen high, and people in the village are busy with their own things.

Xu Feng was the only one wandering around the village, attracting some people's attention from time to time.

Xu Feng seemed to be unintentional, but he was actually observing people's reactions.

The attitude of the old people was too calm. Xu Feng was not sure whether the era the old people experienced was the same as the people today.

The purpose of observing the villagers' reactions was to support Xu Feng's guess.

But the more they observed, the more confused they became. The villagers showed no attitude except curiosity.

It was a normal reaction to seeing an outsider, with no trace of greed or desire in his eyes.

Either everyone in this village is good at pretending, or Xu Feng still has many things that he hasn't noticed.

After wandering around for a while, the main goal was still to find Shugao.

The inheritor of the profession known as the prophet.

According to Xu Feng's understanding, it should be a kind of magic stick that predicts the future.

Maybe it has something to do with the object they want to sacrifice.

There are also priests and spells, and this is a perfect replica of a cult.

It's a pity that Xu Feng didn't successfully find Shugao's home.

Although he was roughly sure that it was nearby, Xu Feng couldn't drag people to ask directly about the location of Shugao's family.

After all, they were tourists and the two did not know each other.

It would be bad if someone noticed his intention and sacrificed it in advance.

It's a pity that he doesn't know what Shu Gao looks like. Xu Feng is not sure whether Shu Gao is inside the people who pass by from time to time.

Seeing that the time was about to reach noon, Xu Feng hesitated whether to rush back in time.

This morning's wandering will always arouse people's suspicion. In the afternoon, I still have to follow the village's arrangements and go shopping around.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"I know, I know, I'm going now, don't push me anymore..."

Xu Feng's footsteps paused, these scattered clues finally came into play.

For Shugao, apart from some sporadic information he learned from the old people, there was only this voice.

Although the mood is different from yesterday, it must be this person.

Just then a young man walked out of the house, followed by his mother's lecture.

The young man was just Shu Gao. He completely lost his determination from yesterday and didn't pay attention to Xu Feng's appearance. He turned around and walked in one direction.

Xu Feng immediately stepped forward. How could he not take advantage of such a chance encounter?

He raised his hand to stop Shugao, pretending to be a complete stranger.

"Hello, do you know where the accommodation for guests in the village is?"

"I accidentally got lost. I walked around for a long time and couldn't find the right intersection."

Shugao paused in his steps, turned around and showed a strange expression.

His eyes were full of scrutiny, and the look he looked at Xu Feng was also meaningful.

Xu Feng was a little embarrassed, wondering if he was being too deliberate.

Just when he was about to explain, Shugao already said, "This village is so big, how can you get lost?"

"If I knew I had this problem, why didn't I just stay at home?"

The tone full of disgust made Xu Feng helpless.

There is no other way. This is the only excuse that suddenly comes to mind. I can't say that I think you are handsome, so I should date you.

So he still had to bite the bullet and said, "There's no way. It's the first time I've been to a place like this, and I suddenly can't find the way..."

It's a bit far-fetched, but it makes sense.

After all, it is true that some people get easily lost in strange places.

After hesitating for a moment, Shugao had no intention of sitting idly by, but his attitude was still disgusting, "Come with me, I will send you back."

Xu Feng said thank you on the surface, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

How could someone who wants to challenge that wrong tradition be a truly indifferent existence?

Shugao should not have been affected by the stubborn thinking here, after all, he has seen the world outside.

The two of them walked one behind the other towards the residence arranged by the village chief for Xu Feng.

The distance won't be very far, so Xu Feng must have some contact with Shu Gao as soon as possible.

He suddenly said, "I heard that there are a lot of fun things going on in the village recently, and there seems to be a grand celebration about the harvest. I will definitely know more about it then."

Shu Gao's steps suddenly stopped, and Xu Feng stopped immediately.

He had been paying attention to Shu Gao's movements, so Xu Feng reacted so quickly.

Shugao turned his head, with obvious scrutiny.

The voice was cold, "Who told you this?"

Xu Feng opened his mouth. He must not blame those old people, because it would be easy to expose the secret.

The old people did not say anything about the harvest celebration. If Shu Gao asked, it would be easy to find out.

So Xu Feng could only change the topic, "I heard it while chatting, I forgot who it was..."

"But the celebration, it sounds fun when you hear it."

Shugao hesitated for a moment and did not take this matter seriously.

Although the people in the village are backward, they know the rules and it is already taboo to talk about the festival. There is a high probability that they will not tell more information.

He continued to lead the way, but his words were a bit regretful.

"It's really fun. When the time comes, you'll have plenty of time to enjoy it, don't worry."

Xu Feng smiled and didn't care. With the stand-in doll in hand, Xu Feng could be very bold this time.

He said "That's good", but in his heart he was always thinking about how to destroy it.

Shugao had left the village after all, and some of his ideas were relatively mature.

Although he no longer paid attention to the fact that someone disclosed the festival to Xu Feng, another problem arose.

"I should have arranged a tour for you in the morning, but you didn't go with us?"

Xu Feng thought of an excuse early on and said, "I went out for a walk last night and came back too late, so I didn't have much energy."

"And when it comes to interesting things, you have to ask the locals. I wandered around the village all morning and learned a lot about interesting places."

Shugao's footsteps paused again, Xu Feng's words had already revealed a lot of information.

Xu Feng had a headache for a moment. Although it was intentional, he still felt somewhat guilty after being looked at so directly by Shu Gao.

He said awkwardly, "What's wrong? Can't you just play by yourself?"
