Hua Changjue followed with a smile. Li Zhan and others were also ready to follow.

The villagers were so scared that they hid back.

Hua Changjue was stunned, thought for a while and waved his hand.

"Li Zhan, come with me! Everyone else, wait at the entrance of the village! Do not step into the village without my order."

"yes!"

The young man was obviously relieved.

Hua Changjue and Li Zhan followed the young man through the small fishing village, making many turns and walking for a long time before arriving in front of a yard.

The young man went up and knocked on the door.

"Village Chief, Village Chief! Someone is looking for you!"

Soon, I heard someone opening the door.

After the door opened, an old man stood inside. He had gray hair, dark skin, and was very thin, but his eyes were shrewd.

He leaned on a cane and looked at Hua Changjue and Li Zhan curiously.

"What are you two doing?"

Hua Changjue cupped his hands and said, "Our people want to set up camp near your village!"

The old man was surprised, and it seemed that he did not dare to refuse.

"You are light..."

Hua Changjue smiled and nodded, "We'll have to trouble the village chief to see if he can sell us some food!"

The old man was surprised, opened his mouth and nodded.

"Well, I'll go ask around and see who has extra food!"

Hua Changjue nodded, "Thank you very much, Village Chief! Let's go and settle down first! See you later!"

The old man nodded.

“Okay, okay!”

The two followed the young man out again, and finally left the village safely.

On the way back to join the army, Li Zhan kept frowning.

Hua Changjue was puzzled.

"What's wrong?"

Li Zhan shook his head.

"That village just now was a little weird!"

Hua Changjue narrowed his eyes, "What's so strange about that? Did you find anything?"

Li Zhan thought for a long time and finally said uncertainly.

"Don't you think there are no children in this village?"
