The two of them walked down the stairs paved with bluestone slabs, their eyes passing by one house after another, and they felt increasingly uneasy.

They saw the haggard old man leaning on the curb, smoking a dry cigarette, but not a trace of smoke came out of the pipe.

I also saw several little girls jumping on rubber bands, as if they were machines, their movements were precise and their eyes were staring directly at the rubber bands. They were not at all like ordinary lively and active children.

There was always a big smile on his face, but that smile made the two of them feel scared from the bottom of their hearts.

Just after they left.

The old man slowly took out the pipe from his mouth and knocked it against the wall, shaking out wisps of gray-white powder. No one knew what it was, but it was definitely not cigarette ash.

The little girl who was jumping on the rubber band rolled her eyes slowly, staring straight at the two people's retreating figures, but her feet kept jumping and moving on the rubber band, like a machine.

"The people here... seem a little strange."

"More than a little? Haven't you noticed, those little girls have been staring at us, and my back is already soaked."

Dawei said with a scared look on his face, the vest under his coat had become wet at some point.

Xiaoxia said meaningfully:

"Everyone is staring at us, as if we are different from them."

Dawei was stunned for a moment, then realized later:

"You mean, in their eyes, we are aliens?"

"Nine times out of ten, that shop happens to be open. You'll know if you try it."

With that said, Xiaoxia pointed to the blacksmith shop not far away and walked quickly.

"Hey, don't mess with anything unclean. It would be great if the Guanzhu was here..."

Dawei shook his head like a rattle, his face full of reluctance.

They both know nothing, just running around here, if they really encounter something dirty, hiss...

Dawei took a deep breath and raised his head, only to find that Xiaoxia had almost reached the door of the shop.

Suddenly I felt anxious and quickly followed him.

"Xiaoxia, wait for me!"

Dawei quickly chased after him, and when he arrived at the door, Xiaoxia was already chatting with the boss inside.

"Aren't you from the village?"

The owner of the shop is a bald man with a fierce face and a full beard. He is looking at Xiaoxia with vigilant eyes.

"Not bad, why, don't you accept outside guests?"

Xiaoxia's expression changed, and she realized that this boss seemed to be different from other people in the village.

To be precise, it is different from other people's eyes, a little less dull and a little more lively.

"Hmph! As long as you can afford the money, swords, guns, sticks, axes and hooks, I will give you whatever you want."

The bald man looked at Xiaoxia coldly.

Dawei, who came in a hurry, opened his mouth wide.

"Xiaoxia, what do you want with those things?"

Xiaoxia rolled her eyes at him and turned to look at the bald man.

"No need to hit anything, we just need some tools and I can pay for them."

"money?"

The bald man sneered:

"What's the use of asking for money in this shabby village?"

Dawei also asked with some confusion: "Yes, Xiaoxia, we never use money in our village."

"Don't you understand? That's the problem!"

Xiaoxia stepped on the idiot next to her hard.

"Hi——! It really hurts!"

Dawei covered his feet and cried out in pain.

"Then what do you want, just say it and I will try my best to help you get it."

A glimmer of light flashed in the bald man's eyes, and his gaze fell on Xiaoxia's body.

"You can have whatever you want?"

"That's right."

The bald man laughed and took out a small tool box from his side.

"Take it. It's rare to meet an outsider. Take what you want and leave quickly. Don't stay in this damn place. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave."

Xiaoxia's eyes tightened and she asked:

"It sounds like you're an outsider too, right?"

"Does it matter whether it is or not? I can't leave anyway."

The bald man smiled coldly and said calmly:

"I'll give you a piece of advice. When you see the sky getting dark, quickly hide in your room. No matter whose room it is, don't hang around outside. Otherwise -"

The bald man suddenly came closer and said grimly:

"Will die!"

Xiaoxia looked at him coldly, her expression not changing at all.

"Tch! Not interesting."

Seeing that he didn't scare her, the bald man curled his lips and ignored her.

"Ah this..."

Dawei touched the back of his head and said after realizing:

"Hey, brother, since this place is so strange, why don't you leave? Can you tell us about the situation in the village?"

Hearing this, the bald man's face froze and he said coldly:

"It's none of your business? Stop asking about things in the village!"

Dawei was stunned when he heard this and shouted dissatisfied:

"Why is your speaking style so different from mine?"

"Idiot, because you are not a beauty!"

The bald man glanced at the two of them one last time and ordered them to be kicked out.

"Leave now while you can. Don't stay in this damn place. Take the tools you need and get out as far as you want!" www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm

"These top-level scoundrels want nothing more than to make a golden hairpin? What kind of gold wire and nails do they need? And they have to make it within two hours? Was that thing made by a blacksmith? Worri, you

What a fool!"

The two men picked up the toolbox and were driven out of the blacksmith shop amidst the cursing sounds of the bald man.

"Xiaoxia, this person..."

"It doesn't matter, I already got the stuff anyway."

As she spoke, she patted the toolbox in her hand and showed a smile.

"There's still time now, why don't we leave directly?"

Dawei's eyes tightened and he said to Xiaoxia.

"The things here are obviously not something we are qualified to take care of. Why don't we go back and ask the viewer to take action? What do you think?"

Xiaoxia nodded when she heard this, without even thinking.

If Uncle Gu hadn't intercepted them, they would have escaped long ago.

"Dawei, what if there really is something behind that wooden board?"

I don’t know what secret is hidden under the hollow wooden board in the Li family’s ancient house.

It's really curious and I want to open it to find out.

However, if they bump into Uncle Gu's family on the way back to the Li family's ancient house, everything will be in trouble.

Dawei gritted his teeth and said with a sideways look:

"Let's go! Go back and ask the viewer to take action. It won't be too late to find out what's going on."

The two made up their mind and walked quickly to the lowest point.

Not long after, the two of them arrived at the bottom floor, with the village gate right in front of them.

Suddenly, a clear cry stopped them.

"Dawei, are you leaving?"

The two of them turned around and saw that the person coming was Shui Sheng, approaching them with a smile on his face.
