Dongfang Xiaozhu, who was in the village, followed the plan discussed with Hua Mengyu last night, walked around the village, observed the villagers, and tried to enter the back mountain.

But she was stopped by the village chief. Even when she went to collect herbs, the village chief followed her closely.

"Village chief, why don't I see any children? Where are the young and middle-aged people? Have they all gone out to work?"

Dongfang Xiaozhu asked innocently while digging herbs on the ground with a knife.

"We are the only old people left in our village who are dying. They are all dead. Soon we will be dead too, and the village chief will be wiped out."

When the village chief said this, there was no emotion on his face. It seemed that he had said this many times without even a pause, and he was extremely skilled.

"Then you haven't thought about moving out?"

"Who will take in old people like us who are about to die? It's better to have our own home. After all, it is ours and no one else can take it away."

Listening to this, Dongfang Xiaozhu felt desolate in her heart. Mortals without cultivation usually only have a life span of seventy or eighty years, and some can live as long as a hundred years.

If you are a monk, you can live for three hundred years if you reach the golden elixir stage, four hundred years if you reach the Nascent Soul stage, and five hundred years if you have reached the master stage. By analogy, the higher your cultivation level, the longer you will live.

If it weren't for the weirdness of this village, maybe she would really be soft-hearted, but the fact is that this village doesn't need help at all, it only wants other people's lives.

Dongfang Xiaozhu knelt down, turned his back to the village chief, and kneaded with one hand, creating a gust of wind in an instant.

"Hey, this is a gust of wind coming from there." Dongfang Xiaozhu stood up and covered her face with her sleeves.

The village chief also raised his hand to block the wind. Seeing that he wasn't paying attention, Dongfang Xiaozhu waved his hand and sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder. Following the wind, the powder flew straight towards the village chief's face.

"Cough cough cough, bah, bah." The village chief touched the powder on his face and coughed a few times.

"Village Chief, are you okay?" Dongfang Xiaozhu asked carefully.

"No, it's okay, it's okay. Let's go back. The wind is too strong." After saying that, he pulled Dongfang Xiaozhu back.

Dongfang Xiaozhu followed the village chief and counted the time silently in her heart.

One, two, three...ten, stop!

Sure enough, ten seconds later, the village chief stood still. Dongfang Xiaozhu pulled back her sleeves and stood in front of the village chief.

She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes. Seeing that he didn't respond, she felt relieved and then took out the Fengming Bell.

"Ding——, let me ask you, has anyone been to the village recently?" Dongfang Xiaozhu shook the Fengming bell and asked.

"Yes, five men and two women." The village chief replied stiffly.

"Where is he now?" Dongfang Xiaozhu asked anxiously.

"Dead, there is another one in my house."

Dongfang Xiaozhu frowned when he heard this. It seemed that this group of people was the group of people Mengmeng was talking about. But he didn't expect them to be dead, but luckily there was still one alive.

"Give me the key." Dongfang Xiaozhu stretched out her hand and said to him.

The village chief followed suit and took out a small key from his arms. It was different from the key on the village gate, but more like a refined machine key.

After getting the key, Dongfang Xiaozhu took out a stone she had just picked up from the ground, put a transformation charm on it, turned it into the same shape as the key, and put it back into the village chief's arms.

"Ding——" Dongfang Xiaozhu rang the bell again to wake up the village chief, put away the bell, and walked in front of him.

The village chief woke up soon after, saw Dongfang Xiaozhu walking in front, and immediately followed him.

Although this method is very powerful, it has a fatal flaw. If someone touches the controlled person, the person will wake up immediately and cannot be disturbed while casting the spell.

But if it succeeds, the person being controlled will not remember the incident, and this part of the memory will be missing from the memory.

After Dongfang Xiaozhu came out of the hill, she came to the village and passed by the farmland.

The villagers were hoeing the ground, waving their hoes, lowering their heads and working hard. Originally, this was not a strange thing. Although Dongfang Xiaozhu grew up in the palace, there were villages outside the city, and she had also seen villagers hoeing the ground.

But the strange thing is that most of these villagers are elderly. The youngest looks to be sixty years old, and the oldest is over eighty years old. But when they swing their hoes, the veins on their hands pop out.

The force of the swing was very powerful. When the hoe went down, a large piece of land was dug up at a very fast speed. Even if Dongfang Xiaozhu stood on the field dam for a while, he dug up more than half an acre of land.

Not a drop of sweat.

If they are young and strong middle-aged people, that is normal, but these are all old people in their seventies or eighties, but they work more powerfully and easily than young people in their thirties and forties.

Are all the old people today so strong? Or are they like this for some reason? Dongfang Xiaozhu thought in confusion.

Dongfang Xiaozhu quietly took another look at the village chief who was following her. Only then did she realize that the village chief had been following her for so long and was not tired at all, not even out of breath.

Dongfang Xiaozhu carefully observed the faces of these villagers and looked at their necks, only to find that there seemed to be something on their necks hidden under their clothes.

When Dongfang Xiaozhu wanted to walk in to get a closer look, the village chief came over and blocked her view.

"Miss Fang, you must be tired after walking for so long. Go back quickly. Your sister is still waiting for you."

The village chief looked at her with a stern face, as if he was very dissatisfied with her behavior. The smile on his face just now was gone.

I don't know if it was her misunderstanding, but there seemed to be a hint of evil flashing in the village chief's eyes just now.

Dongfang Xiaozhu was thinking in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Yes, I took too long to come out. Thanks to the village chief's reminder, I will go back first."

After Dongfang Xiaozhu finished speaking, he took back his feet, turned around and walked back.

"I'll see you off." The village chief followed her closely.

If she walks faster, she walks faster; if she walks slower, she walks slower.

Always staying within three steps, she originally wanted to take advantage of the gap and look around carefully, but it seemed that it was impossible. The village chief kept following her.

While walking on the road, I still didn't look around, but not as blatantly or secretly as before.

But I never saw a banyan tree as big as Hua Mengyu said, even if I passed by the village chief's house, I didn't see it.

Is there a formation? Dongfang Xiaozhu thought deeply, with constant doubts in his heart.

When they arrived at the door of the old woman's house, they stopped.

"Thank you very much, village chief, for sending me back. Then I will send you back not far away."

"It's okay, I'll go too. I happen to have something to do with her." After saying that, the village chief also walked in.

Dongfang Xiaozhu couldn't find a way to stop him, and suddenly saw a coat hanging under the eaves.

She thought that this was Hua Mengyu and her secret code, which showed that she succeeded.

With this thought in mind, she quickly stepped forward to stop the village chief.

"Wait a minute, village chief, I'm afraid you can't go in now. When I left, I asked my mother-in-law to wash up my sister. She may be washing up at this time. It's not convenient for the village chief to go in. Otherwise, you see."

Dongfang Xiaozhu said, pointing to the woman's coat hanging under the eaves. Looking at the color, it didn't belong to the old woman, it could only belong to Hua Mengyu.

The village chief looked at the house where Hua Mengyu lived before. Sure enough, the doors and windows were closed, and there was a faint sound of water.

Seeing this scene, the village chief couldn't force his way in, so he gave up. His face suddenly darkened, and he turned around and left, looking like he was angry.

After the village chief left completely, Dongfang Xiaozhu immediately closed the door and set up a formation around it.

He quickly turned around and walked into the room.

When he opened the door, he saw the old woman lying on her side on a chair, but Hua Mengyu was nowhere to be seen in the room.

"Bang!" Dongfang Xiaozhu heard the sound coming from the next room and immediately started to go to the next room.

But what she didn't know was that after she left, the old woman's fingers moved.
