Shi Sheng didn't know where this place was and chose to enter the village.
There was a huge locust tree at the entrance of the village …
It looked like a locust tree, but its leaves were bigger. Shi Sheng wasn't sure if it was a locust tree or not.
A few children were squatting under the locust tree. They formed a circle and looked at her as soon as she appeared.
Their young faces were stiff and expressionless.
Their eyes were wide open, and there were almost no eyeballs in their eyes. Only the whites of their eyes were left, like the eyes of a dead fish.
It was strange.
As expected of a supernatural novel. Even a random village would have a supernatural setting.
Level up and kill monsters!
Oh, no, kill ghosts!
After all, this was a supernatural language.
[…] The host was going to cause trouble again!
"Hit her!"
A naughty child suddenly stood up, grabbed a stone on the ground, and threw it at her.
The other naughty children followed suit and picked up stones to throw at her.
Shi Sheng was depressed. Why were these naughty children so disobedient?
A few minutes later.
The naughty children were tied up and began to howl at the top of their lungs.
"Let go of us, let go of us … You monster, let go of us, help …"
"There's a monster coming, grandpa, help!"
"I don't want to be eaten by a monster, sob …"
Shi Sheng squatted in front of them, pointed at his face, and asked seriously, "Look at me, which part of me looks like a monster?"
Monster my ass!
I am a decent person!
"Wah!"
The naughty children collectively howled. Their voices were ear-piercing, and the whole village was filled with the sound of children crying.
The children were so loud that the villagers in the village naturally heard them and hurriedly ran out of the village.
"Good grandson, good grandson …"
"Da Zhuang."
One by one, the villagers ran over, but they were all old people. Shi Sheng didn't see any young people among them.
These old people looked quite normal, but when they saw Shi Sheng, they were all on guard.
Shi Sheng squatted in front of the naughty children. The villagers surrounded him and whispered to each other.
One of the old men stood out. He was wearing a patched green cloth shirt and had a goatee. He was very thin, and his face seemed to be just skin. He walked with a slight limp.
Shi Sheng heard someone call him the village head.
The village chief sized up Shi Sheng with his slightly cloudy eyes and asked in a hoarse and unpleasant voice, "Little girl, who are you?"
Shi Sheng stood up. "I'm just passing by."
The village chief frowned slightly. "Since you're passing by, why did you kidnap the children of our village?"
"They started it first. How can you blame me?" Shi Sheng shrugged and blinked innocently.
"Why are you guys being naughty again?" The village chief scolded the children who were still making a ruckus.
Clearly, this was not the first time these brats had done something like this.
"She's a monster!" A child shouted.
"What monster?" The village chief's expression turned even more solemn. "The few of you, hurry up and apologize to that sister."
"She is a monster! Drive away the monster! Drive away the monster!"
"Chase away the monsters!"
"Chase away the monsters!"
The naughty children shouted the slogan in unison.
The village chief's skinny face was filled with anger. "You lot, I'll deal with you later."
"Little girl, don't be angry. These children just like to make a ruckus." The village chief suppressed his anger and explained to Shi Sheng, "Our village is too remote. It's rare for people to come here even once in a few years. There are many rumors in the mountains, so it's inevitable that the children will believe them. Little girl, you look like you're from the city. Please forgive us and don't bicker with these children."
Shi Sheng sneered. "They threw stones at me, but you don't bicker with them because they're young. Does that mean you'll forgive them for killing your family members because they're young?"
The village chief was a little confused by Shi Sheng's reaction. "Little girl … this … we're not very cultured. I'm really sorry."
"I think the village chief is quite cultured."
The village chief looked ashamed. "My mother can read. I learned some from her when I was young. I'm not cultured."
Shi Sheng did not comment. It was none of her business! She was just saying it casually.
The village chief thought for a moment. "Little girl, I'll get someone to punish them later. What do you think?"
"Drive away the monsters!"
"Drive away the monsters!"
The group of naughty children were still shouting slogans. Their expressions were stiff, and their voices overlapped like a repeater.
The other villagers did not say anything. Some of the elders looked a little anxious. Perhaps one of them was their grandson.
Shi Sheng took a step back and waved his hand, indicating that they could take the naughty children and get out of here.
The parents quickly came forward and rescued their children. They carried them in their arms and walked out. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared in front of Shi Sheng.
"Ahem … Little girl, did you get lost in the mountains? It's getting dark. Why don't you stay in our village for the night? I can also express my apology. "
"No need." She knew there was something fishy going on. She was not going.
"Little girl, it's dangerous in the mountains. You'll be in trouble if you meet a wild beast in the middle of the night." The village chief kindly advised her.
Shi Sheng did not shy away at all. "It's still better than meeting people with ulterior motives."
The village chief was speechless.
He seemed a little angry, as if his kindness was being trampled on. "If that's the case, then you're on your own. You can leave the village after passing through here. After crossing two mountains, you'll be outside."
The village chief did not linger after he finished speaking. He told the others to disperse and go home.
Shi Sheng stood under the big locust tree, looking a little confused.
Something was not right …
This place was so remote that there should be no signal. How did the two kidnappers call Ji Feng?
This was easy to explain. After all, there was a satellite phone. Although this place was backward, it was not deep in the forest where the satellite signal could cover.
More importantly, why did the two kidnappers bring her to such a remote place?
Did they have cat biscuits?
Shi Sheng could not verify whether the kidnappers had cat biscuits or not.
…
Every family in the village had their doors tightly shut. There was no habit of not closing their doors at night like in the mountains. Sure enough, the books were all lies.
Shi Sheng walked all the way to the center of the village. There was a small square here, facing the ancestral hall.
The sky was dark. He walked a few steps forward and saw the words on the plaque of the ancestral hall.
Ancestral Hall of the Qu Family.
Qu …
The female lead's surname?
Oh my god, this is the female lead's quest!
Let's clear it first!
[…] Are you sure you want to clear it and not sabotage it?
However, the system quickly realized that the host was just joking. She had left the village directly.
How could something like meddling in other people's business happen to its host?
Flips table!
Since you don't care, then what the hell are you talking about?
*
Little Fairy: Why not clear it?
Shi Sheng: There's no money. You have nothing better to do.
Little Fairy: There are votes!
Shi Sheng: No.
Cherub: I don't want to vote.
Shi Sheng: (Draws sword)
