Chapter 417: Wen Shan Village (1)
When Lu Sheng regained her senses, she realized that she had reached the foot of an unfamiliar mountain.
It was so dark that one could not even see their own fingers.
Chu Sihan spread his fingers and a Red Spider Lily appeared in his hand. The red light immediately dispersed the darkness.
“Lord, is this Wen Shan Village?”
“It should be nearby. Let’s walk forward and take a look.”
There was an endless path ahead, which should lead to Wen Shan Village.
The two of them walked along the path. It was exceptionally quiet around them. Occasionally, unknown animals would climb over the snow and make sparse sounds.
After about fifteen minutes, they finally saw the figure of a small village.
It was already late at night and there was no one in the village. They did not even hear a dog barking.
The scariest thing was that the human energy here seemed to be a little low.
Lu Sheng frowned slightly. “Lord, there doesn’t seem to be anyone else in the village.”
Could this not be Wen Shan Village?
Just as the two of them were wondering, a house suddenly lit up.
Chu Sihan frowned and said in a low voice, “Let’s go and ask.”
He suddenly had an ominous feeling. He kept feeling that they might be too late.
The duo went to the house and knocked on the door.
However, just as the door was knocked, the lights in the house were switched off.
Lu Sheng frowned slightly. She reached out and knocked on the door twice again. She asked loudly, “We’re just passing by. Is anyone here?”
“Leave quickly. It’ll be too late if you don’t leave now.”
An old woman’s voice came from the house. It was obvious that there was some fear in her voice.
Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan looked at each other and continued shouting, “Granny, we happened to pass by this place and don’t know how to get out. That’s why we came to the village to ask for directions.”
“Follow the entrance of the village. There’s a small path outside. Walk right and you can walk out of the mountain.”
It was obvious that the old woman did not intend to open the door.
“But we’re hungry and thirsty. We don’t have the energy to walk anymore.”
After Lu Sheng finished speaking, the house fell silent.
After a while, the lights lit up again and the door was pulled open.
Standing at the door was an old woman with silver hair and a bent body.
Before the granny opened the door, the Red Spider Lily in Chu Sihan’s hand had already turned into a flower lamp.
When she saw Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan standing outside, a hint of surprise flashed across the old woman’s eyes.
The duo’s dressing was incompatible with this village. She really could not understand why two well-dressed youths would come to Wen Shan Village in the middle of the night.
“Come in.”
“Thank you, Granny!”
After the duo entered, Lu Sheng smiled and spoke.
Ignoring them, the old woman quickly locked the door.
She looked like there was a ferocious beast outside.
The duo was puzzled.
Lu Sheng scanned the room and realized that besides this old woman, there were two other children in the room. They looked to be around six or seven years old.
Both of them were very skinny. Their faces were so skinny that they looked out of shape. It made one feel uncomfortable.
Seeing Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan enter the house, the two children seemed to be afraid. They hid in a corner of the house and stared at them warily.
This also made Lu Sheng, who was about to speak to them, close her mouth helplessly.
“Sit.”
The duo nodded slightly and sat down on a short stool.
The old woman placed the lamp on a mottled wooden table and asked the duo in a deep voice, “You don’t look like the nearby residents. Why are you here?”
Moreover, the duo did not look like they were too hungry to walk.
