Chapter 21 Two Villages
Shen Fei observed that the doors of a main hall and two side rooms were also open, and when he stepped into the main hall, there was already dust on the ground. He looked at the places he stepped on, and the footprints in the dust were clearly discernible, and he frowned.

Entering the main entrance is usually the main house of the peasant family, entertaining guests or eating at home is usually in the main hall, and the two sides are resting places, which are modern bedrooms.Usually the larger one is on the east side, which is called the east house, where the owner of the house rests, and the west house usually lives for children.

From the time when Shen Fei stepped into the main hall and finished shopping in the side rooms on both sides, there was nothing on the surface of the table except thick dust. He tried to rummage through the cabinets, but found nothing except dust. The same was true for the stove. There was nothing in the firewood room except some moldy wood.

There is nothing inside the house, and weeds are overgrown outside the house, which has obviously been abandoned for some time.

Shen Fei walked out of the yard in twos and twos, and came to the next door. The general situation was the same. After thinking about the mission time limit of three days, Shen Fei was not in a hurry, and patiently explored from house to house in the village.

After visiting twenty or thirty households, it was basically a case of people going to empty houses, the only difference was that some households would leave some things behind in a hurry, but for Shen Fei, they were also some useless things, not useful.

When I searched for the [-]th or [-]th households, I finally got something. It was a closed book, with neat handwriting and concise writing. It should be a person who has read the book. The contents of the house do not look like modern times, and the scholar is a rare thing.

Shen Fei read it word by word, basically telling his second son, who hadn't returned home, that there were unclean things in the village, and a few people died inexplicably, and the deaths were strange. People in the village are panicking now, even if the village chief asks someone to do something, they can't get rid of it. Said that the feng shui here is not good, the village chief called on the people in the village to move out. If the second son who went out came back and read this letter, he could go east for a few miles and see a new village.

Shen Fei smiled after watching it, and the exploration was not in vain. Right now, this is a deserted village, and there may be only one family at the entrance of the village left in the village, and any fool would guess that it might be related to that family. Going to visit directly, can be tricky.

Although he gained something, he didn't stop there, and continued to explore the remaining houses.

Except for the vicinity of the family at the entrance of the village, the rest have been searched, and there is nothing to be found except that the adobe walls of a few houses have been blackened by the fire.

Shen Fei looked to the east, and there was a forest not far away, although it was not as dense as the original forest, but it also blocked the line of sight, and it was impossible to observe whether there was a village in the distance through the forest.

Looking at the sun hanging obliquely in the sky, it was already dusk. In the barren mountains and mountains without street lights, it was difficult to move after dark.Since he made up his mind to go to the new village to find out the situation first, he didn't linger too long, and strode eastward.

Jogging all the way, with his current physical fitness, even at a trot, the speed is quite impressive.

The unpaved dirt road is much more difficult than expected, especially when entering the relatively humid ground in the forest. From time to time, one foot is deep and the other is shallow. Fortunately, Shen Fei followed the traces and found a path that had been passed by someone before. Raise the speed of travel.

The woods are not too big, but it is only a few miles away. From a distance, there seems to be houses in the distance, and the smoke is rising, obviously there are people living there.

At this time, the burning clouds in the sky stretched for thousands of miles. This kind of natural scenery without filters or color correction is a luxury in today's deteriorating air quality. Those who were greedy took a few more glances, and Shen Fei still had to hurry.

The land adjacent to the village has been reclaimed and some usable arable land has been reclaimed. Shen Fei found a farmland, stretched out his hands to plan in the pits created by the plow, and pulled out a nest of crops. It was not difficult to tell that they were germinated wheat seeds. And the wheat seedlings in the field next door have already sprouted.

The wheat has just been planted, combined with the current body temperature, it should be autumn wheat, and it is estimated that it will be October.

Wandering around in the fields, Shen Fei was not in a hurry to enter the village. At this time, Shen Fei was still wearing short sleeves. If he recklessly broke into the village with this image, he would basically not even think about asking for any news.

Relying on his supernormal eyesight, Shen Fei stood in the distance and looked at the clothes of the villagers, mainly men, generally wearing short jackets, tight-legged pants, tied shoes, and Gebu.I know what to do, just wait for the sky to completely darken before I can do something.

Harvest the wheat tightly and harvest the autumn slowly. After the autumn wheat is planted, there will not be too much heavy farm work, so the village also has smoke from the kitchen early. Taking advantage of the sunset, the villagers can also sit in twos and threes under the tree at the door to rest after dinner. .

Shen Fei listened to the movement from a distance, whether it was useful or not, and when the moon was high, it was time for him to act.

Arriving near the entrance of the village, Shen Fei observed some yellow paper talismans pasted on the side of the road and on the tree. Shen Fei thought to himself, it should be to prevent the invasion of external evils. It can't be that this village is making trouble, right?
He leaned closer without touching it, and felt it carefully, there was spiritual power flowing on the talisman paper.Smell and sniff, and ignore these for now.

I found a house along the small road by the side of the village, walked over the courtyard wall lightly, and heard some unsuitable voices coming from inside before my ears were attached to the window. ?

It is human nature to think of the sturdy size of the peasants, and the busy farming is over, and it is only fun when they have nothing to do.

Shen Fei touched the door of the main hall, grabbed the doorknob with one hand, and supported the lower edge of the door with the other, so as not to make the wooden door make too much noise, he pushed the door open steadily, but it also made a weak "creaking" sound.

Shen Fei stepped lightly and entered the house.

After searching around, I found a piece of clothing, but the strong smell of sweat was really unbearable.Shen Fei put it into his backpack, planning to go to another house to have a look.

After visiting several houses in a row, it was only the second time that they succeeded. The main reason is that the villagers of these few houses are not in such a hurry. The women usually do needlework, mend clothes, or embroider.The men repair farm tools and feed the animals.This is also in line with Shen Fei's expectation.

Fortunately, the smell of the clothes obtained for the second time was not too strong. Shen Fei put on the clothes in twos and twos, and was listening to the walls of those houses before, and found out where the village chief was by accident.

When a certain woman was sewing, she never forgot to ridicule the village chief for being greedy for life and fearing death, and settling her home next to the Taoist temple of a "high-ranking" little Taoist priest.

Very good, you are the NPC responsible for revealing information in the game, right? You must have a name. From today onwards, I will call you Little N.

While entertaining himself, Shen Fei wandered around the village, looking for buildings that could be regarded as Taoist temples in appearance.

When passing a certain path, Shen Fei suddenly heard some footsteps approaching, he stopped instantly, moved lightly, and went around to the corner of the house on the left to hide.
