After walking for over an hour, Shen Yanxiao finally arrived at the entrance of the village.
Small houses sit in small villages, tightly packed together. The mottled walls are covered in dust, and the roofs made of stacked straw look somewhat rudimentary.
A few villagers wearing short shirts were passing by the village entrance with hoes on their shoulders and smiling.
Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes and finally understood why Du Lang had no doubts about this village. No matter how she looked at it, everything in this village seemed so barren and simple.
The passing villagers suddenly saw Shen Yanxiao and Zhu Que standing at the door, with a kind expression on their faces. They walked over and said with a simple smile, "How did the two children get here? Are they lost? There's no village or shop here, you must be exhausted, right
Shen Yanxiao remained silent and looked closely at the villager who spoke. Shen Yanxiao keenly sensed that the kindness shown by this person was not a disguise, and his simple eyes could not find any trace of false hypocrisy.
If it weren't for this person's unpredictable level of acting skills, then he would be truly honest and straightforward.
Lao Ba, didn't you just dare to come up with some radishes at home? Go and bring some for these two little ones, "Shen Yanxiao's silence didn't make the villagers pay attention. Instead, they were worried that these two little ones might not be safe in this wilderness, and eagerly offered to get them something to eat.
Oh, I'll go now, Xiao Ke. Take these two little ones to Uncle Jiu's place to rest and get some water to drink first. "The middle-aged man, who was called Lao Ba, had a simple and honest expression on his face, and after giving a few words of advice, he watched as the hoe bounced back to fetch food.
You two are not very old, how pitiful. I'll take you to rest and drink some water. Have you lost touch with your family? Let me first take you to find Uncle Jiu, who is the village chief here. Let him think of a way to send you home. "Xiao Ke looks only in his early twenties, although not tall, his body is very sturdy.
It's not surprising that these villagers think so. They are the only village within a few hundred miles, and suddenly two little guys appeared here. It's really hard to imagine the reason for their appearance. They could only consider Shen Yanxiao and Zhu Que as children who had been separated from their families. Faced with these two young and helpless children, these simple villagers showed all their enthusiasm.
Zhuque was about to speak, but was stopped by a glance from Shen Yanxiao.
Shen Yanxiao nodded obediently without saying anything.
Xiao Ke and two other villagers led Shen Yanxiao and Zhu Que towards the village.
Shen Yanxiao noticed that the clothes on the people in front of him were very worn out, with many patches on them. Xiao Ke's shoe toe was worn out, and his two big thumbs were exposed, which looked very heartbreaking.
Along the way, they encountered some villagers whose situations were similar to those of Xiao Ke and the others.
The houses in the village seem to be many years old, and some roofs have collapsed partially, yet there are still people living inside.
Most of the doors and windows of the houses are already incomplete, making it an extremely impoverished village.
However, the villagers here are exceptionally kind and helpful.
For the two outsiders Shen Yanxiao and Zhu Que, the villagers didn't ask much, but instead enthusiastically offered some food and asked Xiao Ke to take them to Uncle Jiu's place properly.
