I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

"That makes sense. This is a critical moment and nothing can go wrong."

......

Chai Xueying and the others left after more than a quarter of an hour.

An old woman with unsteady steps appeared in their sight.

The five girls looked at each other, and Lichun quickly walked forward.

Ask politely:

"Old lady, do you know how far Xianglin Village is from here?"

The old woman turned her head and looked into the distance. After thinking for a while, she said in a trembling voice:

"Xianglin Village is still seven miles away from here."

Lichun thanked:

"Thank you."

Then she turned her head and shouted with joy:

"The old woman said, we're only seven miles away."

Chai Xueying and others immediately looked ecstatic and did not show any sign of abnormality.

The old woman asked curiously:

"Lady, you look like you're not from here, what are you doing in Xianglin Village?"

Lichun immediately became alert.

She said naturally according to the previously arranged identity:

"We are here to seek refuge with our relatives."

"Oh?" The old woman looked puzzled.

Lichun continued:

"There was a war in the north, and our family members were killed by the damn Turks."

Lichun, whose eyes instantly turned red, portrayed the poor man whose family was broken up to perfection.

A look of pity appeared in the old woman's eyes.

She said aloud:

"Poor man."

After saying this, the old woman pointed behind her and said:

"Go southeast, and when you see a big rock, go south for three or four miles, and you will arrive."

Lichun expressed his gratitude, and Chai Xueying and the others also came over.

Lichun repeated what the old woman said.

Chai Xueying and others expressed their gratitude repeatedly. After thanking the old woman, they trotted towards Xianglin Village.

The old woman walked forward for a while before turning her head to look at the backs of Chai Xueying and the other four girls.

After waiting for a while and seeing that they didn't look back, he quietly went into the field.

In a pit in a field.

A young man saw the old woman and said respectfully:

"Grandma Chen, how is it?"

Granny Chen shook her head and said with emotion:

"Five poor women from the north, whose families were broken up and who sought refuge with their relatives."

"I just asked how to get to Xianglin Village."

"I didn't ask why this place is like this, so there should be no problem."

The young man breathed a sigh of relief.

whispered:

"I hope it's just an ordinary person, but nothing will happen to him."

"Otherwise, we can only stay in the deep mountains and forests."

Chapter 641: The Desolate Xianglin Village

Grandma Chen looked at the vast fields and the green mountains and clear waters in the distance.

She trembled:

"When will Yiyang get better?"

"When will we be able to live a peaceful life?"

The dim tears flowed down the wrinkled cheeks and fell on the ground.

The young man smiled bitterly and said:

"Grandma Chen, these are what we chose back then."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't be alive today, and I wouldn't be born and see this world."

Grandma Chen felt as if she was struck by lightning.

I thought of their generation more than ten years ago.

A joint decision made in order to survive.

At that time, they survived, many of them survived.

Many people felt that it was an extremely wise decision.

But now, more than ten years later.

They wished they had starved to death.

Grandma Chen raised her arms, wiped her tears, said nothing, and left trembling.

Outside Xianglin Village.

Chai Xueying looked at the village that seemed to be uninhabited.

The doubts in my heart grew stronger.

There was no one working, but all one could see were renovated fields.

A country road without weeds but no trace of people.

The village has neatly built houses and does not look shabby at all.

But there was no sign of human beings, nor any sound of livestock.

If only I hadn't met an old woman on the road.

They really didn't see anyone along the way.

In the fields and on the country roads, one can still understand that all the work has been done.

The villagers are resting or busy at home.

But there was no sign of human life in the village, no one was to be seen.

It's all too absurd and unbelievable.

"Madam Fang, I don't see anyone here. Did we go the wrong way?"

When they arrived at the destination, Lichun abruptly changed the way he usually addressed Chai Xueying.

Chai Xueying shook her head and suggested:

"I don't know either, but this is Xianglin Village?"

"My great aunt lives in Xianglin Village. There's no way she could be wrong."

"Let's go in and take a look. Maybe the farm work has been done and everyone is resting."

She pointed at the wooden sign at the entrance of the village with the words "Xianglin Village" written on it.

The women nodded and each held their bag tightly.

With a wary look on his face, he walked slowly into the village, pausing every step.

Except for the sound of wind and the chirping of insects and birds.

There was no other sound in Xianglin Village.

Gudong!

Lixia swallowed.

She killed enemies on the battlefield and was not afraid of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

But the scene before her made this female general, who had a heart as strong as a rock, so nervous that her heart was beating wildly.

The five women walked to the center of the village.

at this time.

Squeak!

There was a sound of a wooden shaft turning, not loud but loud enough to make one's scalp tingle.

The five girls were startled.

Especially Lixia, who directly hugged Lidong who had the strongest body.

Her teeth chattered and she trembled as she said:

"In broad daylight, there are no ghosts, right?"

His timid and frightened look made Chai Xueying and others want to laugh.

It broke through the tension after entering the village.

Li Qiu was just about to make fun of Li Xia.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a dark shadow flash by.

She immediately shouted nervously:

"Who's there, give me..."

She reacted very quickly and forced the "come out" behind her back to go back.

He suppressed the urge to rush forward and took a step back pretending to be afraid.

She shouted fiercely:

"Listen to me, stop playing tricks on me."

"It's impossible for a ghost to appear in broad daylight."

"Even if you really are a ghost, I will catch ghosts and make sure you die without a burial place."

Chapter 642: Horrible Village, Liqiu's Performance

Chai Xueying looked at Li Qiu, who had never believed in ghosts or gods, and was stunned by his current state.

Li Qiu’s performance was really too natural and realistic.

The next moment she reacted, and her eyes naturally shifted from Li Qiu to the direction where the other person was shouting.

She lifted her bundle and shouted:

"Back off, back off, back off!"

"Gods protect us, evil spirits will retreat, and we are immune to evil spirits!"

Lichun and Lidong reacted quickly, shouting and turning around and running.

"Run! This village is haunted!"
