The three of them hid their blades in a nearby straw stack, inspected them, and then got up and walked towards the village.

"How are Zhu Xiao and Li Qingchen?" asked Su Qi.

"I don't know. When I jumped out of the hole, the two of them were still outside. Wang Li shook his head.

All three frowned and did not speak, and now they could only pray that the two of them were safe. If they hadn't had time to enter the cave, they would have been lucky under such strong wind pressure.

Walking to the edge of the village, all three of them involuntarily slowed down. From a distance, there are only more than 100 households in this village, and the village is deserted, although it is almost noon, there is not a single figure in sight.

The houses in the village are still the most ordinary mud houses or thatched houses, but they look quite intact, no different from the small villages that Su Qi saw in the countryside of Yanguo.

Walking into the village, Su Qi and the three of them came to a thatched house near the entrance of the village, and saw an old man in his seventies cooking porridge on a fire in the courtyard.

The three of them looked at each other, and finally Su Qi stepped forward: "This old man, the three of us are passing by here......"

"Baby, come in. The old man didn't wait for Su Qi to finish speaking, so he greeted without raising his head.

Su Qi and the three of them were a little surprised, but they still walked into the courtyard.

"Have you eaten?" asked the old man.

"Not yet. ”

"Let's eat over there. As he spoke, the old man stood up tremblingly, grabbed a few more handfuls of rice from the rice bowl next to him, and put them in the pot.

In a short time, the porridge was cooked. The old man took out four broken bowls from the hut, filled three bowls of porridge, and handed them to the three of them.

"If it's not enough, go to Sheng again. The old man said that he was playing, and he also served himself a bowl of porridge, and squatted aside to eat.

Su Qi and the other three looked at each other, a little hesitant. However, the three of them also began to feel a little hungry at this time, and when they saw that the old man was eating quickly, they also held the bowl and drank the porridge in the broken bowl cleanly.

The old man didn't pay attention to the three of them, just squatted on the side and drank porridge by himself, without saying a word of superfluity.

After drinking, the three of them were embarrassed to serve it again. Looking at the state of this old man, the family must not be rich, if he eats too much, he will always be a little unhappy.

"Uncle, please ask, where is this place, what is its name?" Su Qi saw that the old man had finished drinking, so he stepped forward and asked respectfully.

"This is this place, what's the name?" said the old man, a little strangely.

"So, old man, do you know that this is still not the boundary of Yan Kingdom?" Zhao Ying asked.

"Yan Guo, what is that?" the old man looked puzzled.

The three of them looked at each other again, and it seemed that this old man had lived in a small village all his life, and he was completely isolated from the world.

"May I ask my husband, where is the village chief here, the three of us want to visit. Su Qi said.

"What is the village chief?" the old man was still confused.

"Uh......" Su Qi was also a little confused, and changed his words, "It's the person in charge here." ”

"Oh, it's always been Gengyao who distributes the grain, so go find him. The old man said.

"Okay, may I ask my uncle, where does this Gengyao live?" Su Qi hurriedly asked.

"I don't know. The old man shook his head.

"......" The three of them were a little speechless. There are only more than 100 households in this small village, and they don't even know where the steward lives.

"What, what's so strange about this?" the old man looked at the strange faces of the three of them, and asked with some puzzlement, "Gengyao is just in charge of distributing the grain, and every time the grain is distributed, he will come directly to me, so why should I know where he lives?"

"Yes, yes, I wonder when this Gengyao will come to distribute the grain?" asked Su Qi.

"Well, it's a good thing that you're here, he'll be here this afternoon. It's probably going to be a few moments away. The old man said.

"Great, since that's the case, we'll wait here. Wang Li said.

"Well, wait. After the old man finished speaking, he washed the broken bowl in the sink beside him, and covered the pot for cooking, and then ignored the crowd at all, and turned back to the house.

The three of them were left out of the hospital, and they were a little embarrassed for a while.

"This old gentleman...... Isn't it a little demented?" Wang Li asked in a whispered with some confusion.

"I see that he speaks clearly and thinks clearly, not like Alzheimer's. Su Qi said a little speechlessly.

"I think everything he says and does comes from nature, as if he has become accustomed to things that seem strange to us. Zhao Ying frowned.

"I don't know if he's the only one, or if the whole village is like this? Su Qi said helplessly.

The three of them walked around the courtyard at will, and the impression of this old man was really a little weird, so they didn't want to rush into the village.

The three of them waited for about a quarter of an hour when they heard a shout from outside: "Divide the grain—"

At the same time, a middle-aged man stepped into the courtyard. He was quite tall, with a disheveled head, a flowing beard, bare feet, and a large sack on his shoulders.

The middle-aged man didn't look at Su Qi and the three of them, and came directly to the old man's rice bowl, put down the rice bag he was carrying on his shoulder, took out a wooden bucket from it, and began to scoop rice into the rice bowl.

Su Qi stabbed Wang Li on the side: "This time you go." ”

Wang took a step forward, coughed dryly, and said, "I don't know if Your Excellency is Mr. Gengyao?"

"What kind of mess is Mr. Senior, I'm just more Yao. You're new residents, I don't think I've seen you before. Gengyao said as he scooped rice.

"No, we're passers-by by by chance and have some questions to ask. Wang Li said.

"Oh, just ask. Gengyao still didn't look back.

"Excuse me, where is this place, what is its name, or is it not in the Yan Kingdom?" Wang Li asked.

"The name of the land still has to have a name, what is the country of Yan, I haven't heard of it. Gengyao had already finished scooping up the rice, got up and tied the rice bag tightly, and carried it to his shoulders again.

"Well, yes, the three of us traveled here by chance, but we got a little lost, so we wanted to ask for directions. Wang Li explained.

"This place has never had a name, and I haven't heard of any Yan Kingdom. Gengyao carried the rice bag on his back and walked outside the courtyard.

"Wait a minute, can the three of us follow you to the village to have a look?" Su Qi hurriedly said when he saw that he was leaving.

If you want to say that the person who knows the village best, it must be this more Yao, even he said he didn't know, then no one should know. However, since Gengyao is the so-called "grain divider", he must know more about the village than everyone else, and it is always right to follow him.
