After bidding farewell to Scar and others, Yi and Wen set off towards Beilin'an, the largest city in Shanhai County. There is the largest black market in the entire ancient An Kingdom. Many goods that cannot be sold can be sold or purchased from there.

However, North Lin'an was far away from where they were, and their horses had already been buried underground when the tomb collapsed. They could only set out on foot, and had to stay overnight in a village on the way.

Before the three of them arrived at the village, they met a child.

When they met the child, the child was playing alone with a little yellow dog on the roadside.

"Kid, what are you doing here?" Seeing the child alone, Zhuzi thought it was someone's lost child.

"No one wants this puppy. I want to play with it." The child didn't look at them, but just played with the puppy alone behind their backs. The puppy was indeed cute, and was only as long as a bamboo forearm.

Normally, eyes like black pearls looked at the three people behind the child, wagging their tails constantly.

"But kid, it's too dangerous for you to be here alone. How about going back to the village with your brothers and sisters?" Zhuzi touched the child's head and said with a smile.

"I don't want it!" The child suddenly seemed to have heard something terrible, and then picked up the puppy and ran into the woods.

"What's going on with this child?" Fang Zhou was stunned for a moment, feeling that something was wrong with this child.

"It's probably an abandoned child." Seeing that the child was so sensitive about returning to the village, Yi Wen thought of this possibility.

"Are you going to get him back?" Zhuzi couldn't bear to see the child being abandoned.

"Don't bring him back rashly now." Fangzhou shook his head and said. There was a village nearby. Why didn't the child go for help? Or why didn't the villagers there give the child any help? They didn't know the reason.

It's clear, so it's safer to make some inquiries before taking action.

When the three of them entered the village, Yi Wen looked back at the place where the child disappeared and remembered the direction in which the child left.

When the three people entered the village, the villagers in the village looked at them with some curiosity, but they were not too surprised. It seemed that outsiders often came to the village.

"Auntie, is there anyone here who can let us stay for the night?" Yi Wen found a kind-hearted old lady and said to her with a smile. Yi Wen looks very approachable and belongs to that kind of old man.

The more I watch it, the more I like that type.

The old lady glanced at Yi Wen and said with a smile: "The village chief's house is just ahead. You can go and ask. I'm old and don't care about these things anymore."

After Yi and Wen thanked the old lady, they followed the road pointed by the lady to the village chief's house.

"Hello, is this the village chief's house?" Yi Wen saw that the door of the small courtyard was open and there was no one nearby, so he called from the door and inside.

"I am the village chief, who are you?" After Yi Wen shouted, a middle-aged man with a relatively strong figure and a girl who looked somewhat similar to the middle-aged man walked out of the thatched hut, a little confused.

He looked at Yi Wen and others.

"Hello, we are passing by here and want to stay here for one night. Is there anyone in the village who can stay overnight?" Yi Wen asked politely.

"Of course, if the three of you don't mind, can you stay at my house?" The village chief smiled and said when he saw that he was staying at the hotel.

After the three people came in, the village chief enthusiastically poured tea for the three of them, and asked his daughter to clean up a room for Yi Wen and Fang Zhou, while Zhu Zi slept with his daughter.

When the village chief went to prepare dinner for the three of them, Yi Wen and Fang Zhou had a casual chat with the village chief's daughter, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

After a while, Yi Wen asked the village chief's daughter: "Excuse me, do you know there is a child in the south of the village?"

The village chief's daughter was stunned for a moment and said, "Does he have any characteristics?"

"Characteristics... He has a little yellow dog, and we didn't see the child's appearance clearly." Fang Zhou thought for a moment and said.

"It seems that there is a child, but I don't know the specific situation. Can you ask my father later?" The village chief's daughter thought for a moment and shook her head.

Yi Wen and the other three nodded. Because the female relatives in the village rarely leave the village, many things are told by others and they don't know much about it.

After a while, the village chief called Yi Wen and the others into the small courtyard with steaming meals. Although the three of them had not treated their stomachs badly in the mountains these past few days, eating too much game would make them nauseous. Now

Whenever I see a normal home-cooked meal, I pick up my chopsticks and start scanning the food.

"You mean a child?" As the village chief was eating, Yi Wen asked the village chief the same question again. The village chief's expression changed, and he seemed to know something.

"Village Chief, do you know?" Zhuzi asked, seeing that the village chief seemed to know something.

"Oh, that child is quite evil." The village chief said, shaking his head.

"Evil?" Yi and Wen looked at each other. When they were talking to the child just now, the child didn't feel anything strange except for being a little indifferent.

"Actually, I have looked for that child several times, but I have never found him. The hunter in the village has seen him several times in the mountains. After that hunter saw the child, he never went hunting in the forest again, preferring to take a long way around.

I don't want to go there either, people in the village say that the child is a bit evil." The village chief sighed.

After the three of them discussed it, Yi and Wen said to the village chief: "Village chief, can you tell us where the Orion lives? We want to find out."

"Zhang Orion lives in the first house at the entrance of the village."

After eating, Yi Wen and the others came to the door of a small courtyard on the roadside when they entered the village. At this time, there was a bearded man sharpening a dagger at the door of the small courtyard.

"Hello, is this Uncle Zhang?" Zhuzi walked up and asked.

"I am, who are you?" Zhang Orion looked rough, but his voice was unexpectedly gentle. He glanced at Yi Wen and the others and asked with some confusion.

"Hello, we would like to ask about the child outside the village." Zhuzi turned around and glanced at Yi Wen and Fang Zhou before continuing to ask.

After Zhang Orion learned that Yi Wen and the others were here to inquire about the child, he was stunned. The dagger in his hand also fell to the ground. He seemed to have thought of something, his mouth was slightly open and his eyes were a little empty.

"Uncle Zhang?" Yi Wen and the other three were a little strange. They called out twice before Zhang Orion reacted.

"Oh, it's okay. I advise you not to go looking for that kid." After Zhang Orion came to his senses, he lowered his head and sharpened his knife.

"Uncle Zhang, don't worry, we are just going to have a look and we won't cause trouble to the people in the village. Can you tell us?" Zhuzi asked with a sweet smile.

"That's not a child, that's an evil star, an evil star that has never been seen in a century." Orion frowned and said.

"Evil star?" Zhuzi and Fangzhou were stunned for a moment, as if they had never heard of this term.
