Everyone in the Zhou family quickly packed up and set off again, most of them had a good rest last night, and today's speed was no less than yesterday.

It was getting dark, and it was time to rest at night, when a warrior from the Skin and Bone Realm discovered a village.

"Master, take a look over there, if there is a village. He pointed his finger in one direction and said to Zhou Tie.

When they heard what he said, they all looked in the direction of his fingers, and sure enough, they saw a group of houses made of clay, which were not very conspicuous in the wilderness, and could not be found unless they looked carefully.

"Let's go and have a look, and if you can spend the night, let's rest there tonight." Zhou Tie said.

Although there are not many such villages in these wilderness places, there are some. If you can go to the city, although the conditions are not comparable to the city, it is still very good, at least it is much better than sleeping in the wilderness.

Zhou Tie commanded Zhou Wu's eldest brother, Zhou Ping, to walk in front with two Skin and Bone Realm martial artists, while he followed a few steps behind. It's unlikely that you'll encounter danger, but it's always a good idea to be cautious.

The village is much more desolate than expected.

Up close, many of the earthen walls of the house have been torn apart, and all kinds of weeds and wild flowers are scattered on the ground.

The footsteps of everyone "knock, knock, knock" sounded again and again in the courtyard, and it was obviously an ordinary village, and everyone actually had a very nervous feeling.

"It's supposed to be a deserted village. Zhou Tie said a word, breaking the deathly silence, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and some of the depressed mood was relieved.

"Hey, is there anyone?" Zhou Tie walked to the village and shouted at the few earthen houses inside.

The voice came slowly, without echo or response, just fading away.

This seems to be a normal scene, but it makes everyone feel a little chill inexplicably.

"Is there anyone? We're passers-by who have come to spend the night. Zhou Tie shouted twice at several earthen houses in the other direction.

It was also a dead silence with no echo.

"Come into the house and take a look, and don't leave a room behind. Zhou Tie instructed everyone to go into the house and rummage through the houses.

The things in the house are very old, the pots and pans, tables, chairs and benches are full of dust, and even many people are choked by the dust and sneezed as soon as they enter, but it can be seen that this is indeed a village where people once lived, but I don't know how long this village has been abandoned.

"Tick mile bang" A lot of gibberish voices came.

Some doors may be difficult to open because of too many years, and the warriors use brute force to smash them open.

After some searching.

"Dad, I've seen it all, and all the houses are empty, and it looks like this little village has been abandoned for at least ten years. Zhou Ping said.

"Look, sir, I found this in a cupboard. A Skin and Bone Realm martial artist handed Zhou Tie a somewhat yellowed piece of white paper.

Zhou Tie took the white paper and looked at it, and wrote in the middle of the white paper, "Jing Bu Ticket Silver Official Silver Yuan Fifty Taels".

Zhou Tie's eyes were slightly startled when he saw these words.

Naturally, it was not because of fifty taels of silver, which was not worth mentioning to Zhou Tie at all.

"Jing Bu" Zhou Tie didn't know much about this name, but he knew that it was a character from a hundred years ago.

Every time the silver bills of the Xia Kingdom are renewed, the old banknotes can be exchanged for the same amount of new silver bills within five years, but if they expire, they cannot be circulated and become a piece of waste paper.

And this blank piece of paper with the words "Jing Bu Ticket Silver Official Silver Fifty Taels" proves that this village may be more than 100 years old.

Zhou Tie's heart also shook at this time, there is no possibility of such ordinary earthen houses lasting for a hundred years, and they will be scattered into a lump of soil in twenty or thirty years at most, and although these earthen houses are dilapidated, they are basically intact, which is too unreasonable.

However, it is also possible that the overnight stayer bullied the villagers for not knowing the goods and deliberately left behind the scrap money.

No matter how Zhou Tie looked, he didn't see any doorways, he just felt that it was an ordinary deserted village. There are too many reasons why a small village is deserted, a plague, a great famine can easily take all the life of a small village.

Zhou Tie's heart was horizontal, how could those weird things be so easy to encounter, and he would live here tonight.

"Everyone, pack up, we're resting tonight. “

There are more than ten earthen houses, and Zhou Tie and his party have a total of more than 40 people, which is more than enough, and they can also pick and discard a few particularly dilapidated ones.

"Don't use the pots and pans here, use the ones we bring ourselves, and don't fetch water from the well in the village. Zhou Tie admonished. It may be that some germs have caused the death of the whole village, although many years have passed, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no residue, Zhou Tie naturally has to be careful.

Hai Er and the others still set up the cauldron from last night, found some wood at random to light a bonfire, and used the ingredients they brought before to cook.

"Third brother, I heard from the nursing home that you also practiced martial arts, and you killed a big monster, is it true?" Zhou Ping stood next to the bonfire, stretched his waist, and asked Zhou Wu casually.

"Yes, I'm already a martial artist in the Skin and Bone Realm now. "Zhou Wu doesn't need to hide, and he can't hide it.

"Why did you suddenly want to practice martial arts? Zhou Ping asked Zhou Wu.

Zhou Wu smiled informally and said, "It's not that I can't bear to bury my peerless talent. If there is no Zhou Wu in the martial arts, how can the future of the film be brocade?"

"You kid, you're shameless. See me teach you a good lesson. Zhou Ping made a gesture as if he was about to rush towards Zhou Wu, but it was just a move.

The two laughed.

Zhou Wu secretly shook his head in his heart, even in the face of his relatives, Zhou Wu didn't want to expose the secrets of the "Storage" Gate, knowing that it would not be beneficial to them.

After the meal, they rested and went to sleep. Zhou Tie still arranged for two Skin and Bone Realm martial artists to take turns to keep vigil, alternating once an hour.

*..................*

In the middle of the night, a martial artist in charge of the skin and bone realm who was in charge of keeping vigil suddenly had chapped lips and thirsty, so he picked up the skin bag that was placed on the ground and poured a little water into his mouth.

He didn't swallow it directly, but wanted to moisten his dry lips with water first.

It's just that as soon as the water enters his mouth, he feels that something is very wrong.

The water actually smelled, a fishy and astringent smell like blood.

His face changed, and he immediately shouted loudly, "Which little cub poured blood into Grandpa's skin bag filled with water!"

Everyone was awakened by his angry shout, and they all got up to check.
