Hearing Xie Yifan's words, Ye Che forced a smile, trying to improve his friendliness.

Gu Yunshi and the others also tried to relax as much as possible, as if they were just here for fun.

At this moment, an old lady who had just finished shopping on the street suddenly came up to me and asked, "Are you from other places? Your clothes look familiar."

Seeing the way the old lady was looking at her group, Xie Yifan smiled and replied, "We are indeed from other places. May I ask this sister, have you seen people who are similar to us before?"

Being addressed by Xie Yifan like this, the aunt smiled happily and said, "Haha, I'm already old, and you still call me sister. You are really sweet, young man. But I have really seen those people you mentioned."

Several people who heard the conversation between the two: "..." I didn't expect this guy to be so lucky to meet someone who knew the inside story.

The old lady lowered her voice and said, "Young man, let me tell you, you must not go out at night in our village. If you are not careful, you will be taken away by the devil. I guess those people must have been taken away, otherwise why would they appear only once."

"Is it so scary?" Xie Yifan cooperated by making a horrified expression, and then asked further: "Sister, do you understand the devil you are talking about? My companions are all skilled in cultivation."

The old lady waved her hand and said, "Then I don't know. Anyway, we will do whatever the village chief says. If you want to know the details, go and ask the village chief. It is said that they stayed at the village chief's house on the first day."

Xie Yifan finally heard some useful information, so she continued to ask, "Sister, can you point me in the direction of the village chief's house?"

The old lady put her basket on her shoulders with all her strength, and then said to Xie Yifan, "I will pass by the village chief's house on my way home, I will take you there."

"Thank you so much, sister. Let me get it for you." Xie Yifan tried to help enthusiastically, but was rejected by the old lady.

"No, no, young man, it won't sink. It's mainly because I'm just passing by. If I didn't, I wouldn't care about you!"

Xie Yifan: “…” Actually, there’s no need to be so honest, sister.

In the end, it was naturally the aunt who brought Ye Che and his group to the village chief's house.

In fact, the village chief's house is quite easy to find. As the only small two-story house with a separate courtyard in the village, the village chief's house stands out from the crowd.

"This is the village chief's house, young man. I'm leaving now." After bringing the man here, the old lady turned around and left, keeping her fame and achievements to herself.

"Big Brother, shall we go in directly?" Xie Yifan hesitated as he looked at the two towering and oppressive doors in front of him.

Ye Che said firmly: "Come in."

After saying that, he was the first to push the door open, and the others followed closely behind.

"Woof, woof, woof..."

"Gah...gah...gah..."

After entering the yard, there were no ferocious beasts as Xie Yifan had imagined, but just some animals that ordinary villagers would raise.

Looking at the aggressive yellow dog and goose, Ye Che stopped and started shouting, "Is anyone there? Is the village chief home?"

As if she heard what Ye Che said, an older woman hurried out from inside, looked at Ye Che and the others and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here in my house?"

The person who came was the village chief's wife. She looked at Ye Che and the others curiously, with some guesses in her mind.

"Hello, sister. We are here to look for someone. I heard from the villagers that a few young men and women came and stayed at your house a few days ago." Ye Che explained.

"Oh... you mean those young girls and boys," the village head's wife suddenly realized and continued, "They just left today, saying they were going to Lei Hai to find fellow disciples. I don't know if they will come back at night. Our village is very dangerous at night, don't you know?"

Ye Che: “…” Could it be that I just missed Brother Feng?

Seeing that Ye Che ignored the last sentence of the village head's wife, Long Miaomiao stepped forward and asked, "Sister, why is your village so dangerous at night? We just got here and don't quite understand."

The village chief’s wife also liked the sweet and cute little girl very much, and explained directly: “It is said that every midnight, thunder beasts will run out of the thunder sea to harm people, and they often take many sacrifices back. Our village has lost many children and young adults before.

As you know, we are the only village near Leihai, and few people come here. Over time, people in our village can only stay at home at night to take precautions. Fortunately, we found that it was not embarrassing after closing the door at night. "

Long Miaomiao thought for a moment, "Oh! So that's it."

Ye Che's eyes flickered. This was another different explanation. It seemed that he would have to wait until night to find out the answer.

So Ye Che asked directly: "Big sister, can we stay at your house for the night today?"

When the village head's wife heard Ye Che's words, she looked a little embarrassed and said embarrassedly: "Young man, I'm so sorry, we don't have that many rooms for you to stay in."

Lei Xiaoyu looked at the building in front of her and saw that there were at least ten rooms upstairs and downstairs. She couldn't help but stepped forward and retorted: "Sister, if you don't want us to live here, you can just say it, but you can't lie with your eyes open. You obviously have so many rooms in your house."

Hearing what Lei Xiaoyu said, the village head's wife was unhappy. She pointed at Lei Xiaoyu and scolded, "What are you talking about, little girl? I can give my house to whoever I want to live in. It's not your turn to speak."

"..."

When Xie Yifan saw this scene, he quickly apologized to the village head's wife with a smile: "Sister, don't be angry. My junior sister is straightforward and has no ill intentions. Please don't take it to heart."

After being coaxed by Xie Yifan, the anger in the village head's wife's heart dissipated a little. She pinched Xie Yifan's face hard and explained, "You are still a cute boy. I am not a stingy person, but all the rooms upstairs have been given to the previous group of people who stayed overnight. There are still their things in the house. I can't let strangers in."

"Sister, you are right. Sister, you are right. We really can't do that." Xie Yifan quickly agreed, but she guessed in her heart that the last wave of people should be Feng Xingzhi and his group.

At this time, Ye Che asked: "Sister, may I ask if there are a few empty rooms in your house? We just need a place to stay, we don't need to sleep."

Accustomed to hearing "sister", the village head's wife didn't like Ye Che's address as "big sister", but she still raised her finger and replied, "Two."

Gu Yunshi quickly stepped forward and added, "That's enough. Thank you, sister. We can just have one room each for men and women."

"The two rooms on the far right of the first floor are there. You guys can go by yourselves. I'm still doing work so I'll go back first." After saying this, the village chief's wife prepared to go back to her room.

At this time, Ye Che hesitated a little and asked again: "Sister, do we need to visit the village chief again?"

The village chief's wife waved her hand and replied, "No need, I can make the full decision on this matter. He has gone to visit relatives, don't worry, I will talk to him when he comes back in the evening."

Ye Che: "Thank you for your help."
