Qiu Qinghe didn't continue teasing her, and then said, "You have also seen our Yinong's ability just now, right?"
"Well, I never thought that such a god-like person would appear by my side. I finally understand why my elder sister wanted me to stay with the county lady."
"Do you think I have the qualifications to become a god, so you let me follow the county lady?"
Qiu Qinghe couldn't help but roll her eyes: "You think too much, but I just want to change your stubborn and willful bad ideas."
"Brother Li Ao and Sister Zi Yao have the constant temperature charms given by Yi Nong, so they won't be cold. However, the wind and snow are getting stronger, and it's really not safe to travel."
"Brother Li Ao, see if there are any people around here. Let's find a place to rest for a night!" Qiu Qinghe shouted to Li Ao outside.
Wu Feng, riding his horse, also shouted, "Yes, Brother Li Ao, although we won't be cold, the wind and snow are so strong that it's really blinding."
"Okay, let me take a look." Li Ao's voice came in.
Ge Qingqing had been looking at the map for a long time before finally saying, "Brother Li Ao, Wu Feng, be careful. There seems to be a river nearby. Try to walk on the official road and be careful."
"Okay, Miss." Wu Feng responded and ran to the front to clear the way.
Li Ao also paid attention to his surroundings, and soon saw some smoke and fire in the distance, which should be a village.
"Wu Feng, is there a village ahead?" Li Ao shouted loudly when he saw Wu Feng coming back.
Wu Feng responded loudly: "Yes, Brother Li Ao, there is a manor up ahead, and there should be people living there."
"Okay, let's go and take a look first." Li Ao responded. Wu Feng led the way in front, and the carriage followed behind, heading towards the manor.
When we got closer, we found that it was indeed a village.
The plaque was covered with snow and could no longer be seen clearly. Wu Feng went straight to the door of the nearest house and knocked.
After a while, an old man came out.
He held a lantern that made them angry, opened the door, looked at them, and said with a smile, "The snow is so strong, would you like to stay here for the night?"
"Old man, you're right. The snowstorm is so strong that we're afraid we can't continue on our journey. Could you please help us?"
"No problem, no problem, but my house is not big, and there are too many of you. I'll take you to my house." The father-in-law said as he walked out of the door, closed it, and led the way.
Wu Feng also hurriedly dismounted and walked with him, asking, "Master, is my father-in-law a tenant farmer on this farm?"
"Oh, yes, I am indeed a tenant here. Don't worry, Mr. Lu is kind and generous, and he will definitely accept you." The old man stared at the road in front of him and said with a smile.
Wu Feng couldn't see his cloudy eyes, otherwise he would have been able to see the calculation in them.
Li Ao followed behind in his carriage, and he keenly noticed that the atmosphere around him was very strange.
It seemed as if someone was peeping at them from the windows and doors.
As for why he peeked, he didn't know, but the feeling lingered in his heart and could not be shaken off.
Fortunately, the road was not long, and they soon appeared in front of a large house with three courtyards.
The old man went forward and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened. The servant had a dark face and was rubbing his hands. He was wearing a jacket that was neither new nor old.
He was obviously frozen, and he exhaled a breath, but Li Ao noticed with his sharp eyes that the boy could not even exhale white breath.
The old man was the same. When he spoke, there was not a trace of white air.
If they were said to be too cold, then white mist would continue to appear while Wu Feng was speaking.
This village is weird in every way. Is it really possible to live here?
"It's you, Uncle Gui. What's this?" The servant first greeted the old man, and then looked at Li Ao and his group.
"They are travelers. The snow is so strong that they can't see the road ahead, so they came to stay overnight at Lujia Village."
The old man smiled at the servant and the servant looked at him and said, "Okay, I'll go and inform him and see what the master has to say."
"Okay." The old man nodded with a smile.
The guy didn't even close the door and ran straight into the yard. He looked very thin and ran very fast.
Li Ao looked around with his eagle-like eyes. The house was filled with deathly air. Could it be that they had entered some strange place?
In an instant, Li Aoru felt like he was struck by lightning.
When we first set out, the sun was shining brightly and there was no sign of snow.
But not long after they started walking, it started snowing. In almost the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the snow grew heavier and heavier.
Li Ao touched an object in his arms, then closed his eyes and opened them again. The old man in front of him had completely changed.
That person was no longer a human being, but a frozen ghost with a dark face.
Looking around, there was a ghostly aura everywhere.
My goodness, this is a haunted village.
Li Ao didn't dare to say anything yet, and closed his eyes again. Everything returned to normal. Even though he was strong inside, his eyelids still twitched when he saw the real scene in front of him.
In order not to scare the women in the carriage, he decided to say nothing for the time being.
His mind started to work rapidly, thinking about how they could escape from this haunted village. The snowstorm came so strangely.
It turned out that they had already fallen into the trap of these ghosts, and everything was an illusion.
If they had run a little further, they could have escaped from the trap and returned to the right track. However, because they felt the wind and snow were too strong and it was unsafe to walk, they fell into the trap and ended up in this ghost village.
If I hadn't come in, there might still be a chance, but now it's probably too late.
Why do these 'people' go to such lengths to lure people in? Do they want to kill them, find a replacement, or do they have other motives?
Just as Li Ao's mind was working frantically, the servant came running back again.
"Master said that all travelers are welcome to visit his home and will let you in, but I'm afraid I'll have to take the carriage and horses to the stables for temporary storage."
"Everyone, please take down your valuables and leave the carriage to me!" The waiter came forward enthusiastically.
Li Ao smiled and said, "If possible, I can drive the carriage over myself, or I can arrange a room for us to rest outside."
"There are so many items in the carriage that we may need to access them at any time."
"Is that so? Okay, then. Follow me through that door. I've arranged for you to rest in the second courtyard. You can go directly there. There's also a large yard there for carriages, but if there's any filth, I'll probably have to deal with it myself."
"That's no problem." Li Ao replied with a smile, as if he knew nothing.
The waiter glanced at the old man, then took them through another door into the second courtyard, and the old man said goodbye and went back.
