She just happened to witness Chen Yan and Feng Xingyao suddenly appear. When she saw their faces clearly, she was so stunned that her heart was pounding.
In a trance, I even had an illusion that these two people were not mortals, but a fairy couple who walked out of a dream.
When she came to her senses, she thought of something, and her cheeks, which were originally slightly flushed with surprise, suddenly turned pale. Her eyes quickly changed from the initial obsession to vigilance, and she let out a delicate cry.
“Who are you?!”
Her voice attracted the attention of many ghosts around.
When the ghosts' eyes fell on Shen Yan and Feng Xingyao, they were first surprised and confused, and then became cautious and defensive.
They stopped what they were doing and stared at Chen Yan and the other person closely.
The girl in sackcloth came over quickly, staring at them with eyes full of suspicion, but her voice was noticeably softer. "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Chen Yan opened her mouth and said, "My husband and I came out to enjoy the mountains and rivers. We just passed by here and have no ill intentions."
When Feng Xingyao heard the word "husband", he raised his eyebrows slightly, and even his eyes, which were originally lowered to stare at Chen Yan, instantly became as gentle as water.
"Traveling?" The girl obviously didn't quite believe it, but when she saw that the man and woman in front of her were behaving very intimately and did not look like the kind of ferocious and brutal ghosts, her attitude changed slightly.
"There's nothing beautiful to see here. You'd better leave as soon as possible."
Feng Xingyao gently put his arm around Chen Yan's shoulders, and the parts of their bodies that were close to each other seemed to begin to emit heat, and their temperature was transmitted to each other through their clothes.
He raised his eyes to look at the girl, curled his lips and smiled, "My wife and I accidentally lost our way. May I ask where we are?"
When the girl saw such a handsome man smiling at her, her face turned red and her heart was moved.
She was a little panicked.
But before she could answer, the village ghost spoke.
"This is Yu Village."
"If you need to leave here, I can lead the way for you." The person who spoke was an old man dressed in coarse linen. The old man was leaning on a cane and looking at Chen Yan and Feng Xingyao with sharp eyes.
When Chen Yan saw that the ghosts wandering the village were all wearing coarse linen clothes and looked very poor, she already had some guesses in her mind.
The ghost energy here is the least.
Therefore, this should be the edge of the underworld, and this is where the lowest level ghosts live.
The ghosts in the wandering village appeared one after another, looking at Chen Yan and the others with alert and nervous expressions, and seemed to feel a little guilty.
Like being afraid of being discovered.
Chen Yan raised her head slightly and exchanged a tacit glance with Feng Xingyao.
"Thank you." Chen Yan nodded slightly to the old man.
Afterwards, the two left You Village under the gaze of all the ghosts in You Village.
At the entrance of Youcun Village, an old man leaning on a cane asked, "Where do you two distinguished guests want to go? I can point you in the direction."
Feng Xingyao smiled slowly, "Observatory."
As soon as these words came out, the old man's wrinkled face trembled slightly. His eyes moved slightly, and then he asked tentatively: "Why do the two distinguished guests want to go to the observatory? It's very far from here..."
Chen Yan said: "Seeing an old friend."
Old friend?
The old man looked strange, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
He pointed to the left and front, "Go straight in this direction and you'll reach the observatory. However, there's still war going on in the spirit realm, so please be careful, my two distinguished guests."
Chen Yan and Feng Xingyao looked at each other.
"Thank you very much."
The old man didn't look away until the two of them disappeared from his sight. His tense face relaxed slightly, and when he turned around, he saw the villagers breathing a sigh of relief.
The girl in sackcloth quickly came to the old man and called out, "Grandpa."
Just then, a villager came hurriedly with an anxious look on his face.
He said anxiously, "It's bad. During the evacuation, the stretcher accidentally broke apart, and the man fell heavily to the ground. The bleeding that had stopped has begun to flow out again."
When the old man and others heard this, their faces changed in shock.
"Hurry!" The old man gripped his cane tighter and walked quickly towards the village.
Other villagers followed closely behind.
What they didn't know was that two figures quietly returned to You Village and followed them.
The old man walked quickly into the slightly dilapidated house. On the bed lay a seriously injured young man. His face was pale, blood was oozing from the corners of his lips, and his upper body was almost wrapped in gauze. However, a large amount of blood was now seeping out, dripping through the gauze and dripping down drop by drop.
The bed was dyed red.
The old man quickly cut the gauze and applied medicine to the young man again.
The other villagers were waiting outside the house.
The girl in sackcloth was beside the bed, helping the old man treat the young man.
The girl gritted her teeth and said, "If those two hadn't suddenly barged in, you wouldn't have suffered this."
Then, she added, "If there were any elixirs, it would be great. Your internal injuries would be much better."
The entire You Village was unable to gather a single pill.
The girl looked at the man on the bed with distressed eyes, her gaze filled with admiration.
If it weren't for the war in the underworld, she might never have met a great man like him in her life.
The old man's expression suddenly changed, and he trembled as he said, "This is bad! The injury is getting worse and worse, and it's become seriously infected. The master has now developed a high fever! If this fever doesn't subside, it might be life-threatening!"
When the young girl beside him heard this, her pretty face looked even paler. She was extremely anxious and clutched the old man's sleeves tightly with both hands.
"Grandpa, is there any way to quickly get rid of the adult's high fever? Please think of a solution!"
Faced with his granddaughter's anxious questioning, the old man remained silent.
He is not a doctor, so how can he ensure that the adult's high fever will go away?
Seeing that her grandfather still hadn't responded, the girl grew increasingly anxious. As if she had made up her mind, she said with a determined look, "Grandpa, if that's the case, I'll go to town and ask the doctor to come back and treat you!"
After saying that, the girl turned around and walked out the door.
"No!" At this moment, the old man who had been silent suddenly shouted and stretched out his hand to grab the girl's arm tightly.
"Li'er, you must not act impulsively! Right now, the entire town is filled with pursuers sent by King Zhong Pei. If those people find out that you are hiding here, all of us in You Village will die!" The old man advised earnestly.
The girl's lips trembled after hearing this: "What should we do now? We can't just watch Master Qi Yan die like this."
The two people hiding in the dark looked at each other in surprise.
Qi Yan is one of the Nine Netherworld Generals under the command of King Hongling.
