"Whether it's a human or a ghost, I'll know when I go take a look," Quan Zhen said indifferently. Quan Jue said indifferently as he raised his foot and walked towards the red figure. However, he had only taken two steps when the figure suddenly flashed and disappeared into a small path at the side.
Quan Jue suddenly quickened his pace and ran forward. Huo Chen, Chi Jiao, and Pei Yao followed closely behind.
Beitang Lie took a deep breath and quickly exhaled as he hurriedly caught up with them.
When they reached the crossroads, Quan Jue looked left and right but could no longer see the red figure.
The dark road was very quiet. There was not even a shadow to be seen. It was as if the red figure was just an illusion.
"Are there no dogs in this village? Why can't I hear a dog barking? "Pei Yao asked with a frown.
Usually, rural residents preferred to keep dogs. There was no dog barking in this village. It was so quiet that it was a little strange.
Especially the square house, which looked like a coffin.
"The Shi Ma people don't like dogs. They think that dogs are the scariest animals in the world," Beitang Lie explained.
Pei Yao was speechless.
She felt aggrieved for the cute dog.
"Let's continue walking. Wild beasts will appear in this place at night. It's best if we can find a place to stay as soon as possible," Huo Chen said slowly.
The others had no objections.
After walking around the village for another twenty minutes, Huo Chen's footsteps finally stopped in front of a small courtyard that faced the north.
A few meters in front of the courtyard, there was a smelly puddle that emitted a strange stench.
"This is it," Huo Chen said as he knocked on the door.
Soon, rustling footsteps could be heard in the courtyard. Then, a slightly hoarse male voice was heard.
"Who is it?"
"I'm looking for Ah Ping," Huo Chen said indifferently.
As soon as he said that, the door in front of him immediately opened. A short man who looked like a winter melon appeared in front of Chi Jiao and the rest.
His round eyes quickly sized up the few people standing at the door. Then, he quickly made way for one of them and said, "Come in quickly. “
After Chi Jiao and the rest entered the courtyard, Ah Ping stuck his head out of the door to take a look. After confirming that no one was following them, he quickly closed the door.
"I've been waiting for you guys for a long time. You're finally here." Ah Ping smiled and said to Huo Chen, "Did you meet anyone after entering the village?"
Upon hearing Ah Ping's question, Beitang Lie subconsciously wanted to ask about the suspicious figure he saw earlier, but Huo Chen beat him to it.
"No."
Ah Ping heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good. You haven't had dinner yet, right? I've prepared some food. Come and eat before you rest. "
Huo Chen nodded.
Then, they followed Ah Ping to the central room.
After entering the central room, Ah Ping took out a few small stools and a small square table.
He set up the small square table and put down the stools. "Wait a moment," he said. "I'll bring the food."
With that, Ah Ping walked out of the central room.
The central room was huge, but there wasn't much furniture. Coupled with the cement floor, it looked empty and a little cold.
"Huo Chen, where did you get to know this land director?" Beitang Lie sat on a small stool and asked Huo Chen.
