Chapter 53: First Arrival at Senluo Village

On both sides of the road is a large field of farmland. All the crops in the field have been harvested, leaving only dry straw. One or two hunchbacked women can also be seen holding a small bag and picking regenerated rice in the field.

Scattered houses gradually came into view. Children playing on the roadside followed the convoy curiously after seeing it. Suddenly, the back of the convoy was filled with laughter and laughter.

Finally arrived, the last stop of the journey - Senluo Village.

However, the situation here seems to be different from what the Demon King imagined. He originally thought that this place might be a ruin, already occupied by monsters, or that a plague broke out here and turned into a village of death.

Obviously neither of these two, Senluo Village looks normal.

The motorcade stopped in the village, and several old men on crutches walked over slowly.

"I am a second-class member of the Imperial Logistics Department. Who is the village chief?"

Nona asked these old men.

"I am." A hunched old man stood up and nodded to everyone.

"Gentlemen, you have worked hard. Come and take a rest and drink some tea."

The village chief said.

Nona and Lucia looked at each other, nodded and said, "Okay."

After saying that, the people in the motorcade followed him into a house. Only the Demon King was still standing there.

"Aren't you going in?"

Ling Yi asked.

The devil shook his head and said, "No, I still have work to do."

"Okay, if you need our help, we will try our best to help you." After Ling Yi finished speaking, he entered the room.

The devil took the staff and turned around and walked towards the village.

Like several villages we met on the road, this is a village mainly based on farming. The population structure is mainly the elderly and children, with very few young people.

Walking through the wooden houses, the Demon King had been observing the environment of the village. Suddenly he turned his head and found a group of children behind him looking at him silently.

"Hey, let me ask you something."

The devil said to them.

This group of children didn't know whether they were afraid of strangers or something. They kept a distance of six or seven meters and didn't dare to get too close. When the devil took a step toward them, they took a step back without any expression on their faces. They just watched helplessly.

Hold him.

"Did a stranger like me come to the village some time ago?" the devil asked.

These children were still blinking at him, with their black and white eyes, which for some reason gave people a chilling feeling.

never mind.

The devil gave up asking these children and turned around to continue wandering in the village.

They still followed silently.

Eyes everywhere.

This was the Demon King's first impression of this village. Wherever he went, he always felt like he was being stared at. He stopped again, and the children behind him also stopped.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew on the Demon King, the tail of his clothes behind his back lifted up, and he rushed out like flying, blowing up a burst of dust.

The group of children were dumbfounded. They ran a few steps, only to find that the other party had long since disappeared. Then they turned back and ran back to the village.

There is indeed something wrong with this village.

The Demon King frowned. He stood on the eaves and watched them leave, unable to help but fall into deep thought.

The group of children left in the same direction and walked around the eaves to a courtyard, where they saw an old man sitting in front of the door smoking a cigarette.

"Grandpa Luo! Grandpa Luo! He's gone! That man is gone!"

The leading child said to him anxiously.

The old man put down his pipe, frowned and asked, "What's missing?"

"That's right, from the car that came to the village just now, there was a person who disappeared after entering the village."

"After searching for it, it's gone."

"He was wearing black clothes."

The children said something to each other, and the quiet courtyard suddenly became noisy.

"I know, you go look for it separately. If you find it, come back and tell me. If you can't find it, tell me." After Old Man Luo said this, the group of children obeyed him obediently and dispersed into the village.

Not long after these children left, the Demon King suddenly came to the yard. When Old Man Luo saw this stranger, he seemed a little surprised, but he quickly concealed the panic expression on his face.

"Hello."

The Demon King nodded to him, and the other person nodded to him with a squinted smile.

"Old sir, I want to ask you something."

"What's going on? I'm old and rarely go out, so I may not necessarily know." the other party said.

The smell of lies.

The Demon King's expression did not change, but he had already set his sights on the other party in his heart.

There's something wrong with this old man.

"Has anything strange happened in the village recently?"

asked the devil.

The old man frowned.

"Strange thing? No, the village has been very peaceful recently." He shook his head and said.

The Demon King smiled and nodded, and said, "Okay, thank you. Finally, I would like to ask, there seem to be very few young men in the village. Do you know why?"

"They were all taken away by the empire, and the ones left behind were children, women and the elderly."

The old man sighed and continued: "You also know the current situation. Who knows that one day this place will become ruins."

The devil said nothing and stood quietly.

"You are a foreigner, why did you come to our village?" the old man suddenly asked.

"It's nothing, I'm just passing by." The Demon King said calmly.

"Well, young people of your age are rare these days. In a few years, even old men like me may have to go to war."

The old man said suddenly. The devil didn't respond and turned around and left.

Then the devil walked around the village. Some of the villagers were working in the fields, and some gathered together to chat. The same thing was that whenever he passed by, they would put down what they were doing or shut up.

, looking at him with a smile on his face.

"How's it going? Did you gain anything today?"

Ling Yi sat next to the Demon King and asked.

They had just finished dinner in the room arranged by the village to entertain imperial soldiers.

"No."

The Demon King shook his head and said.

"Humph! It's no use."

Suddenly, a contemptuous voice came from behind him. The Demon King turned around and saw that it was indeed the most annoying person in the motorcade, Nona.

The Demon King rolled his eyes at her and ignored her.

"Good evening." Lucia greeted the two of them.

"Good evening."

Ling Yi responded, and the two of them also sat down.

"So, do you have anything to say?"

The Demon King said calmly.

"You didn't tell him?" Nona asked Ling Yi.

"I was just about to say you guys are here."

The Demon King was a little confused, but Lucia rushed to say: "We have to stay here for a few days. If we encounter difficulties, we can take care of each other."

Nona turned her head and snorted coldly: "I'm afraid only one person is being taken care of."

The devil's face darkened and he ignored her.

Why would the team linger at this juncture?

Seeing that the other party did not ignore her, Nona was a little angry and pretended to be careless and said: "I heard that there were monsters near the village last month. I wonder if someone knows about this news. Also, the adventurer who disappeared earlier, I

I also heard about them..."
