Chapter 1094: The Strange Empty Village
"Keane!" night wore on, and the day wore on their faces. Coupled with the cold and windy currents all the way to the sky, although the Pope used magic to keep everyone warm, it couldn't hold it for a long time. So the Pope finally flew over and said, "We've been on the road all day, and we're almost at the limit! There is a village in front of us, so let's go to the village for a night's rest and move on tomorrow!"
"Indeed, it's almost time to find a place to rest!" Connie nodded, "Time is pressing, but we can't compromise our team's strength in order to rush. A tired team can't fight the Dark Dragon!"
"Then let's go to the village and rest for the night first!" Jia Zhengjin actually had the same idea, and when he saw the village, he decided to spend the night.
The team immediately landed in the direction of the village.
"Strange! It's all this time, why is it so dark in the village?" said the Pope as he approached the village, "although there is still some light, ordinary people should have already lit the lamp!"
"Indeed!" said Connie, "and, besides, the village is eerily quiet. ”
"Maybe people go to bed earlier here?" Bonassis interjected, "and going to bed after dinner used to be my biggest dream. ”
Everyone was speechless, but they also felt that it was a little possible. After all, this village is located alone in the mountains, and it may not be the same as the outside world.
The team landed at the entrance of the village, and the Pope first sent a few priests into the village to see if he could find the village chief or other enthusiastic villagers to discuss letting the team enter the village to rest.
Out of courtesy, everyone else waited at the entrance of the village and did not break in directly.
After several priests entered the village, they knocked on the door of the house to recruit people, but they turned around and returned in vain: "Your Majesty the Pope, we have taken a closer look, and the whole village is empty!"
"What?" everyone in the team was taken aback when they heard this.
"Empty?" the Pope looked at the village in surprise.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Pope!" replied the priests affirmatively, "not to mention the villagers, not even a single domestic animal or pet!"
"Is it an abandoned village?" the Pope wondered.
"Let's go and have a look first!" Jia Zhengjin took the lead and moved directly to the village with the team.
Since there is no one in the village, there is no need to worry about etiquette!
The procession entered the village, and everyone looked around curiously.
"The houses don't look so dilapidated, and the streets aren't too dirty," Claire whispered, "and even if it's an abandoned village, it shouldn't be long before the villagers are gone." ”
"Indeed!" Jia Zhengjin locked his eyes on a large wooden house that was the widest enough to accommodate everyone to enter, "It may be the village chief's house, let's go inside first." ”
The people immediately followed, and they entered the hut together.
"Strange!" As soon as he entered the wooden house, Jia Zhengjin took out a torch and placed it on the wall for lighting, and saw that it was spotless and suspiciously clean. He couldn't help but shout at the inside, "Is there anyone? Excuse me! We're passing travelers and need to rest here!"
There was no response, and the air was dead silent.
"It's so clean, there's no dust in the corners, it's like it's cleaned every day. Claire surveyed her surroundings by the light of the torches, and then turned back and said, "Although the house is very perfunctory, the inside is well kept. Is it really an abandoned village, or is it that the people of this village have other activities in the evening and leave for a while?"
"Where can we go in the mountains?" said the Pope, shaking his head, "even if you go out hunting, it is impossible for the whole village to leave, men, women, and children, right?"
"I don't know why, I always feel so suspicious!" Sienna came over after carefully inspecting the surroundings and said, "Lord Keane, the house is a little exaggeratedly clean!"
"But there's no one, and we don't know what's going on!" Decathlon wondered.
"Regardless of this!" Jia Zhengjin thought for a moment, "Although it is a little suspicious, our team has no need to worry. If the villagers really have something to do when they go out, and apologize to them when they come back, it's a big deal to send some gold coins as compensation. Now we need to get some rest, regain our body temperature and replenish our spirits. Since the house is clean, there is no need to clean it anymore, so quickly choose a place to come out, I will build a campfire, and then place sleeping bags around it. ”
"It's more appropriate over there!" Bonassis pointed to the wide hall at once, "as long as the tables and chairs are removed, everyone can sleep." ”
"Let's do this kind of thing!" The Wallace family members immediately stepped forward, ready to help move the tables and chairs.
"Stop!!" Jia Zhengjin turned back to stop them, "You took your sleeping bag and went to the wooden house next to it, this is where we live." ”
"It's a big place, there's no need to drive them there, right?" Claire whispered.
"Do you want to let people you just meet and completely unfamiliar live together?
Everyone said that vigilance was aimed at strangers, and since these were your own family, there was no need at all! However, considering Jia Zhengjin's "amnesia," he didn't speak.
Although the members of the Wallace family felt a little depressed, and the parents of Abram and Bertha felt a little hurt by their child's words, considering his current situation, they did not object.
"Then let's go to the next cabin!" Abram said, looking at Jia Zhengjin, "It's really not good for everyone to be crammed into one room. ”
"Well, Alan, rest well!" Bertha said softly.
"Say I'm not Allen......" Jia Zhengjin's argument was powerless, no matter what, the other party just thought that he was Allen, although it was barely a fact, but it was really a headache.
Wait until the Wallace family members leave the largest cabin and move to a small cabin not far away. Jia Zhengjin hurriedly built a campfire and placed it in the middle of the hall. Sienna, Bonaciss, Stein and others had cleared the clearing and moved the furniture to the next room, just in time for Jia Zhengjin to place the sleeping bags neatly according to the number of heads.
Light a bonfire and sit around to keep warm, eliminating the chill caused by the cold wind along the way and the fatigue of a long journey.
After a long wait, everyone's temperature returned to normal, and it was darker outside. Still no villagers appeared, not even in the hills around the village.
The village is really spooky!
It's just that there are a lot of ninth-order powerhouses here, three divine beasts, and a "god killer", and no matter how weird it is, I don't care at all.
After a little bit of food, everyone slipped into their sleeping bags.
