Di Renjie and others had been on the road for a long time, and some people were already exhausted. When they heard Li Yuanfang's shouts, everyone was shocked. Looking forward, they saw that there was indeed a small village standing in the distant foothills.

As the saying goes, "Looking at the mountain, the horses died. Li Yuanfang pointed to the village casually and asked Di Renjie and others to leave for two hours. When they were about to arrive at the village, the sky had completely fainted. Everyone entered the village and looked around, but they did not see any anger. Not to mention it was a human, even the crowing chickens and barking dogs could not be heard. Seeing that there was something wrong with the situation, Li Yuanfang greeted the guards around him and said to Di Renjie behind him, "Sir, I will take a few people first and take a look in the village."

After hearing this, Di Renjie raised his hand to stop Li Yuanfang's words and said, "No need, let's go around and take a look." After that, he turned over and got off the horse. Seeing this, Li Yuanfang quickly got off the horse and followed Di Renjie to guard.

After entering the deep part of the village, it became clear that the village was more depressed than what you saw from outside. The earthen wall made of loess was covered with cracks due to lack of decoration and seemed to collapse at any time; the window paper had not been replaced for a long time, and only strips of paper were left under the destruction of wind and sand, hanging on the window pillars; the tiles were incomplete, and even the weak light of the setting sun could easily penetrate the roof.

Everyone walked around and Ru Yan, who came out of a deserted house, said to Di Renjie: "Uncle, there seems to be no one in this village, it is an empty village."

At this time, Li Yuanfang also brought a few guards back and said, "Sir, this is indeed an empty village. Bei Yi took the guards around and looked around without any trace."

Di Renjie stroked his beard and nodded as he was about to speak...

"who?"

Just then, Li Yuanfang suddenly drew his sword and blocked Di Renjie, staring at the alley ahead. Hearing Li Yuanfang's shouting, the guards resting on the side immediately stood up and surrounded him, protecting Di Renjie and others in the middle.

I heard the sound of footsteps constantly coming. Soon, a middle-aged man in his thirties walked out of the alley and appeared in front of Di Renjie and others. The middle-aged man had just left the alley and suddenly saw so many people and was stunned.

Li Yuanfang looked at the middle-aged man with caution and didn't say anything, staring at him with his eyes tightly, for fear that he would have any bad behavior. The middle-aged man hurriedly bowed to him when he saw this.

"I wonder if everyone?"

Di Renjie glanced at the middle-aged man, and gestured to Li Yuanfang and others to put away the weapons in his hands. He walked forward and smiled.

"I am Huaiying, a doctor who is walking in the morning. Unfortunately, I got lost in the forest and missed my place. Please forgive me."

"I want to stay in your place for a night, can I not be satisfied?"

Hearing Di Renjie's words, the middle-aged man looked embarrassed: "This..." Seeing this, Di Renjie quickly took out two ingots of silver from his arms and handed it over: "I dare not live for nothing, Chuanzi serves."

After thinking for a while, the middle-aged man looked around and his eyes became a little nervous. He said to the side of his body.

"There is no need for money. Please come with me!" As he said that, he waved his right hand at Di Renjie and others, signaling to follow him, and then turned around and walked quickly towards the place he came.

"grown ups……"

Li Yuanfang hesitated a little and stopped Di Renjie from going. After all, this person appeared too strangely, and he didn't look like a villager here. Di Renjie glanced at Li Yuanfang and waved his hand to tell Li Yuanfang not to be too nervous. Then he followed the middle-aged man into the alley. Seeing this, Li Yuanfang hurriedly raised his heels.

Di Renjie and others followed the middle-aged man. After a short while, they came to a small open space in the village. They saw twelve blood-red gold-painted flags inserted on the open space, surrounded an altar in the middle. Because the sky was dark, they could not see clearly what the altar looked like. The middle-aged man stopped in front of the formation, pointed to Di Renjie and others at the periphery of the formation, and then walked around the formation.

Di Renjie and others, seeing the strange scene, naturally did not dare to be careless. Following the route of the middle-aged man, they also bypassed the magic circle in the middle and came to the door of a relatively intact house behind. They saw that the room was brightly lit and a young man of twenty-seven or eight were standing in front of the door.

The middle-aged man walked over, talked to the young man for a while, then opened his body and smiled again, inviting Di Renjie and others into the house.

Li Yuanfang walked in front and followed the two of them in. When they entered the house, they suddenly realized that there was a large space inside. At this time, there were more than a dozen people resting inside, including men and women, old and young. The youngest was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the oldest was fifty or sixty years old. These people were staring at Di Renjie and others who came in, whispering.

Seeing these people like this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but bow to Di Renjie and others, showed an awkward smile and said:

"We are a mountainous person who doesn't know etiquette, so please don't be surprised."

"I'm waiting to bother you." Di Renjie hurriedly replied with a smile.

Middle-aged man also smiled and nodded, but was not talking. He waved his hand to signal Di Renjie and others to casually, and then walked to the middle of the group and sat down, closed his eyes and rested.

Seeing this, Di Renjie ordered everyone to find a corner without anyone to sit down. The house looked solemnly disrepaired for a long time last year, but the house was still clean and there were almost no decorations. There was only a incense table in the middle, filled with tablets. This place was obviously a ancestral hall in the village.

While Di Renjie looked inside the house.

On the other side, a man in green robe was talking to the middle-aged man in gray robe. The man in green robe lowered his voice and said to the middle-aged man:

"Senior brother, are you a little reckless? Let a group of ordinary people enter the village, I'm afraid..."

"It's not a problem. If I don't bring them into the village, they may be even more dangerous outside the village. Since I am a native of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if I can, I can help me, how can I see this demon ruining their lives?" The middle-aged man glanced at Di Renjie and others and said seriously.

This is Li Yuanfang coming to walk to Di Renjie and whispered:

"Sir... I'm afraid it's not suitable to stay here for a long time."

"Yuan Fang, don't be impatient. Now it's getting late. Where will we go? You go and inform Ruyan Dichun and the others and let them be careful and be wary." Di Renjie smiled while stroking his beard.

"Sir..." Li Yuanfang said anxiously.

"Yuanfang, go and see Ruyan and the others." Di Renjie waved his hand to signal Li Yuanfang to inform Ruyan and others. After saying that, he walked towards the middle-aged man. "Two heroes, I am polite here. I would like to thank all the heroes for staying there." Di Renjie walked to the middle-aged man in gray robe, and bowed to the middle-aged man with his fists.
