Are you the villagers of the beautiful mountain and beautiful village?
Since they were villagers, the bamboo baskets on their backs could be explained, but Ye Youbai just discovered that there was nothing in the bamboo baskets.
Didn’t they find what they wanted?
Or did they intend to use the bamboo baskets to carry something else?
Moreover, these guys who call themselves villagers are all men.
In ancient times, men were valued more than women. Logically, most of the people carrying bamboo baskets up the mountain to cut grass and herbs should be women.
These villagers were holding tools similar to machetes in their hands, and the blades reflected a cold and dim light.
Whose lawn mower is so clean?
If one family's home is clean, it may mean that the family is very clean, but if everyone's home is clean, then there is a problem.
"Are you just ordinary villagers?"
When Ye Youbai glanced at the machetes in the villagers' hands that were shining coldly, the villagers all hid the machetes behind their backs without leaving any trace.
The villager who had just spoken replied, "We are from the village patrol team."
Ye Youbai: “???”
From the village patrol?
This may explain why all the villagers are men.
This also reminded Ye Youbai of the fifth rule of the Mass Grave Hill:
5. There are no indigenous residents here! There are no locals here! There really is no one here! This is important to remember three times: if, during your adventure, you hear someone claim they used to live in a picturesque setting, be warned: everyone who lived there died many years ago.
The rules say that all the people living in Shanqingshuishan are dead, so what about these villagers who call themselves Shanqingshuicun?
Ye Youbai frowned imperceptibly and continued to ask, "Why are you going through the woods? Isn't this road easier to walk on?"
If these villagers were really on patrol, why didn't they take the main road?
If they wanted to drive away the adventurers who went up the mountain, they would not be discovered by walking through the woods. Just as they had just discovered them, they had also discovered themselves.
So why did these villagers run away?
"I...we have always been patrolling the woods. It's been done since our ancestors and it has never changed..."
The villagers were all stuttering after being asked by Ye Youbai.
Just when Ye Youbai wanted to ask something else, he heard another villager say very quickly: "You must be here for adventure too, right?"
"If you want to reach the top of the mountain, just keep going straight along this road."
"Many adventurers go to the Soul Temple, saying they can film something incredibly exciting there that could make them famous overnight!"
After these villagers finished speaking, they ran away without a trace without waiting for Ye Youbai to reply.
Ye Youbai: “???”
Soul Temple?
What is this place?
Shouldn't it be called 'Yun Gui Temple'?
Looking at these people running so fast, as if someone was chasing them, Ye Youbai was speechless.
Is she so scary?
Or do these villagers think that they will kill them?
"Hahaha......"
"Did you see that? Those villagers were running so fast that it seemed like one of them even lost his shoes!"
"Boss Ye is awesome! He actually scared the villagers of Shanqingshui Village like this..."
The man fell silent at the end of his words because he also realized that something was wrong.
"What did I...just say?"
"You said these people are villagers from Shanqingshui Village."
"Don't the rules say that everyone living in that beautiful mountain has long since died? Then... who are these people?"
"Didn't you notice that Boss Ye violated the rules again?"
"Where's the violation? The rules only say that there's no one at Mass Grave Hill, but they don't say you can't talk to these people."
"Call them something else, those things are not human!"
Ye Youbai looked at the villagers who were gradually disappearing and murmured, "I was just asking a question, why are you so scared?"
"What exactly is this 'Soul Temple' that the villagers are talking about?"
Ye Youbai thought about it and looked at the map, but there was no sign of the Soul Temple on the map, so she had no idea where the Soul Temple that the villagers were talking about was.
However, Ye Youbai also noticed that the villagers were moving through the woods without any bushes or weeds blocking their way, as if there was a path through the woods.
Could she then follow these villagers and walk along the path together?
At this moment, Xiaohong, who was standing nearby, said, "Sister, why didn't you let me stop them? Wouldn't it be more convenient to let these villagers lead the way for us?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Youbai raised her hand and touched Xiaohong's hair, her eyes full of doting. She said softly, "How can we let them lead the way when playing hide-and-seek?"
"That would be boring."
Xiaohong nodded, not quite understanding what he was talking about. Although he didn't understand what hide-and-seek his sister was talking about, judging from her expression, it seemed to be a very interesting game.
Apia has been floating on the other side of Ye Youbai. He does not have as active a mind as Xiaohong. He only knows one thing.
That is, he would do whatever his master told him to do. If his master didn't say anything, he would just stay where he was and not move.
"Let's follow those villagers into the woods."
After Ye Youbai finished speaking, he walked towards the woods. Xiaohong and Baishiguiyi followed Ye Youbai on both sides.
