Chapter 39 Search outside the city
200 meters away, the old man couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard Li Ye's unkind words.

Thinking of him, Pei Xuanji, as the master of Baiyu Sect, is a famous figure in the whole Qingshan County, even the county guard always greets him with a smile every time he sees him.

As a result, he was actually refuted by a brat today, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

However, feeling the sense of oppression that naturally emanated from Li Ye, he restrained his temper a little.

Although it is unbelievable, the other party may indeed be a martial artist of the same realm as him.

Martial arts practiced to such a level, no matter where they are a big shot, there is no need to fight because of this little verbal dispute.

In the blink of an eye, a smile appeared on Pei Xuanji's face again, "Haha, it's the old man who is being abrupt, the old man Bai Yumen Pei Xuanji."

'Old fox. Li Ye grumbled secretly in his heart, nodded and said, "Li Ye, I just came here too, and I'm not very familiar with things in the city. I don't know why Mr. Pei came here?"

Just contacted, Li Ye did not reveal all his findings, he planned to understand the other party's situation before making any plans.

And compared to the identity of the other party, Li Ye actually wanted to know the purpose of the other party's coming here.

A few days after the dense fog appeared outside the city of Yishan County, it was convenient to appear here, which made Li Ye think more.

On the other hand, after hearing Li Ye's words, Pei Xuanji just laughed and said "I happened to pass by, I was curious", and stopped talking.

He turned his head and stood motionless 200 meters away from Li Ye, just like Li Ye, observing the situation in Yishan County.

Seeing the opponent's actions, Li Ye knew that Pei Xuanji was wary of him, so he turned his head and left after thinking about it.

He has been observing outside the city for so long, and he may not gain anything if he stays any longer, so he might as well go to other places to have a look.

What if the old man Tong has left the county and moved to a nearby village.

That way, he wouldn't have to venture into town again.

And even if the old man Tong was not found outside the city, the people in the nearby villages should know something about the situation in the city.

So no matter what the reason is, the nearby villages are worth his trip.

Not paying attention to Pei Xuanji's gaze on his back, Li Ye moved quickly, out of sight in the blink of an eye, and headed towards the nearby village.

……

There are dozens of hundreds of villages scattered outside Yishan County, and Li Ye plans to search for them one by one from near to far.

After all, even if the old man Tong left Yishan County, he wouldn't go too far. He should be in a nearby village.

Li Ye's footsteps were fast, and after only a moment, he came to a quiet small village.

At this time, it was halfway through Shenshi and approaching Youshi, and there were bursts of cooking smoke floating over the village.

The people outside the city live in poverty, and they only eat two meals a day, morning and evening, and most of their dinners are around You time.

Otherwise, no matter how late it is, it will be dark, and the oil lamps will have to be lit at that time.

Although a little lamp oil is not worth a few dollars, for ordinary people, lamp oil money can be saved if possible.

After Li Ye entered the village, he happened to meet three or five villagers who had just returned from the field together.

As before, the other party showed vigilance when they saw him.

One of the middle-aged men in a worn-out cardigan and a straw hat walked over to him immediately and asked, "Who is a strong man? What is the purpose of coming to our Fangjia Village?"

"Brother, I want to ask you something."

Li Ye had a good face towards the villagers, and asked with a smile: "Isn't there a lot of trouble in the city recently? I heard that many people have moved out of the city. One of my elders lost contact after moving out. I This time I came here to find him. I wonder if there are any people here from the city?"

"I don't know about this." Seeing Li Ye's kind attitude, the other party couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he turned his head and asked a few companions: "How about you? Do you know which family in the village has a new person?"

"No, our Fangjia Village is such a big place, if someone lives here, who wouldn't know."

"Yes, but I heard from my mother-in-law that people from Xiasha Village next door seem to have moved there, and they are very generous."

"Our village is too poor, people in the city don't like it..."

Seeing that Li Ye was just looking for relatives, several villagers let go a little and said one after another.

Li Ye on the side listened to the speeches of several people, and kept collecting the voices from the whole village.

He didn't hear the old man Tong's voice for a few minutes, so he knew that the old man Tong was not here.

He didn't stay any longer, politely asked the direction of Xiasha Village, thanked several villagers, then turned and left, heading towards Xiasha Village.

As for inquiring about information in the city, Li Ye had no intention of asking these people.

After all, with the identities of several people, they would not know any useful information at all.

They are all a group of farmer men, who plan to eat in the soil every day, and some limited information is also hearsay.

……

Compared with the peaceful Fangjia Village, Xiasha Village is one of the largest villages nearby.

As soon as Li Ye arrived at the entrance of Xiasha Village, he could hear the sound of conversation coming from the village.

It was already meal time, and everyone in the village was eating dinner at home while chatting about what happened that day.

Li Ye didn't enter the village either, he just stood at the entrance of the village and listened to the movement in the village.

Even amidst the noise, he can quickly filter out information that is useful to him.

Soon, a special message reached Li Ye's ears, and he quickly recognized it again.

There is indeed a family of people who moved here from the city. In the innermost part of the village, the family is talking about things in the city while eating.

It's a pity that Li Ye didn't see any useful information from the other party after listening for a long time.

The hostess of the family kept complaining that she was not used to the life in the village.

There is no school in the village, and the children's schoolwork is also delayed.

I don't know when the city will settle down so they can move back.

It seems that this family is still a small property, not a poor person.

The male host ate with a dull head, ignoring his wife.

It may be that he doesn't know when he will be able to return to the city, so he can't give an accurate answer.

Maybe they will never go back in this life.

If they really can't go back, they have to buy a piece of land in the village to grow it themselves.

Otherwise, it is not an option to just sit and eat like this.

On the other hand, the ten-year-old boy had nothing to worry about. Seeing that his mother wanted him to study again, he immediately protested.

During this period of time in the village, he had a very good time, going out and running wild with his new friends every day.

At the entrance of the village, Li Ye listened for a while, smiled knowingly, turned and left.

There is no sign of the old copper man here either.
