Chapter 0132 – This Village is Really Weird (1 / 2)

Three days later the exiled party arrived at the outskirts of a mountain village, it was already evening, and the haze in the sky was like flowing rouge that coated the vast expanse of land.

The breeze through the wilderness brings the scent of smoke and grass not far away. The silent mountains look majestic and solemn under the light of the afterglow.

“Rest here to-night, and rest where you are for now.”

Hearing the yelling of the officials the crowd who were tired to the limit after walking all day sat down on the ground like boiled noodles.

In order to make up for the distance they had fallen behind before, the officials were urging everyone to hurry, if they hadn’t already traveled for more than a month before to adapt to this intensity, it was estimated that there would have to be quite a number of people who would simply die of exhaustion.

A couple of officials went into the village to look for the village headman, and it was hard to come across a village where they had to borrow a couple of rooms.

Blue Luo Luo got off the carriage and looked around a thatched hut built of yellow mud came into view, the small mountain village looked not big but seemed extraordinarily quiet.

“Mother, come down and move your body.”

Lan Luoluo reached out and helped Wu Peiyu down from the carriage. Shen Wanjing, who was following behind, supported the carriage with one hand and jumped down herself.

More than a month of exile life, now Shen Wanjing body has no bit of noblewoman’s shadow, with the body wearing coarse cloth clothes, the surface looks no different from the ordinary people.

“Daughter-in-law, don’t you think this village is too quiet?” Shen Che looked at the mountain village in front of him thoughtfully.

In the past, when they passed by or stayed in a borrowed village there would be a few sounds of dogs barking and chickens barking from time to time, but now that so many of them were parked outside the village, there was not a single movement in the village.

“Indeed, why don’t we go in and take a look?” Lan Luoluo then added to Flying Star and Flying Shadow, “You two stay here to protect them.”

At the same time, two officials were knocking on the door of the first house at the entrance of the village, only to knock for half a day with no one answering, and just when the two thought that no one in this house was going to leave, a slightly old voice rang out from inside the courtyard.

“Who is it?” Accompanied by a kicking sound, an old woman with white hair opened the courtyard door. “What is your business?”

The old woman’s eyes were a bit blurry, plus the darkness she could not see what the visitor was wearing, and kept rubbing her eyes with her hands to see more clearly.

“Granny, we are officials escorting a prisoner and want to stay in the village, I don’t know the village head’s family ……”

Not waiting for the official to finish the old woman closed the door with a bang, “Our village has no extra place for you to stay, you’d better hurry up and leave!”

The old woman’s slightly nervous voice came through the door, and with a clunk the door was slammed shut from the inside.

The two officials were almost touched on the nose by the wooden door if they did not react quickly, the two men looked at each other how can they still eat the closed door when they have declared themselves home?

This scene fell right into the eyes of Lan Luoluo and Shen Che, the general people see the official which is not careful to bow down and respect, like the old woman so directly rejected the door is obviously not common sense.

A figure soon flashed behind a large tree not far away, and the duo felt more and more that there was something odd about this mountain village.

“Daughter-in-law, let’s go in and take a look.” Shen Che pulled Lan Luoluo to follow the official’s back towards the village.

Officials walked a little further into the village, the head of a village must be living in the village’s best location the best house. In front of a clearly larger thatched cottage the official once again knocked on the courtyard door.

This time it didn’t take long to wait, the courtyard door was quickly opened, and the one who opened the door was an old man who was about fifty years old with a somewhat stooped body. There was a handful of goatee on his chin, and his eyebrows were black with some gray mixed in, curling like two caterpillars.

The old man’s face with a seemingly kind smile, look closely then that smile does not hit the bottom of the eyes hidden with a hint of tension and anxiety. Just because of the darkness of the official did not see.

“I don’t know what the official’s business is. Grasshopper is precisely the village chief of this village.” The old man’s low, hoarse voice rang out.

“Village Chief, we are escorting a prisoner passing by and want to borrow a night’s lodging.” The two officials hurriedly said their purpose.
