Two days later, Chu Yang arrived at the next village.

Before entering the village, he hunted another stone sheep.

He left three days of food for himself, and then exchanged the remaining mutton for several water bags with the villagers.

The water bags were prepared to hold the blood of wild animals. When traveling, he would apply some on his arms, and then wash off the blood when hunting.

A very perfect arrangement.

By the way, he asked about Xiao Qian and the caravan in the village.

The result was that the caravan had not arrived yet, which was later than in previous years.

Xiao Qian had not appeared here either, and should be in a village farther away.

But Chu Yang had an unexpected gain.

About two months ago, a ghost cultivator did appear near this village.

But he did not join the village, nor did he stay here for too long, and soon walked in the opposite direction of the space crack.

It seemed that he was also looking for someone.

According to the description of the villagers, Chu Yang immediately knew the identity of this ghost cultivator.

Ghost General Lu Feng.

As a ghost general, Lu Feng's combat power is certainly one level higher than those ghost soldiers.

Not only does he have strange spells, but his melee ability is also very outstanding.

Perhaps it is because of this that he does not take the beasts and dangers of this world seriously?

He dared to leave alone without knowing anything about this world and rush into the dangerous and unknown forests...

Are the ghost cultivators in Tongsheng Village really crazy?

Chu Yang thought about it and didn't care about Lu Feng anymore.

He still had to find Xiao Qian first and search along these villages one by one.

Without wasting time, Chu Yang rested safely in the village for a night, asked about the direction of the next village, and immediately started his journey again.

The next village is still about two or three days away.

This is a distance that does not affect the hunting of both sides, and it is also a distance that is convenient for the two villages to communicate with each other.

The hunting teams of both sides usually only move within a day's journey and try not to spend the night in the wild. This distance can ensure that both sides have a large enough hunting ground.

So, Chu Yang took the mutton that was enough to last for two or three days and continued to rush to the next village.

The next village, Shanshu Village.

When he arrived at Shanshu Village, Chu Yang finally sensed a hint of unusual atmosphere.

Shanshu Village was built in the middle of a mountain road, which passed through a wide ravine. Shanshu Village was built in this wide ravine.

Chu Yang looked over from the top of a distant hill and found that tall walls were built on both ends of the ravine.

Every village has a wall, but the wall of Shanshu Village is taller, and even built with large stones and soil.

Shanshu Village is much larger than other villages, and there are more houses in the village, and obviously the population is not small.

This can be seen from the number of sentries on the wall.

There are actually 20 to 30 young and strong men on the wall.

What about the village? I'm afraid there will be more?

This is a big village.

Chu Yang quickened his pace and quickly approached Shanshu Village.

"Who is it?"

The guard shouted to Chu Yang vigilantly, which surprised Chu Yang a little.

Aren't the humans in this world very united and helpful? Why are they so vigilant against other people of the same kind?

Is Shanshu Village different from other villages, or is it hostile to some villages?

Chu Yang regretted that he left in a hurry and didn't ask more about the situation in Shanshu Village in the previous village.

However, if Shanshu Village really has hostility towards other humans, then the people in the previous village should have reminded him, right?

Chu Yang couldn't figure out the reason and was confused.

Seeing that the guards on the wall were all on guard, he could only raise his arms and shouted loudly: "Don't be nervous, I am a ghost cultivator from Shanbian Village, just passing by here."

"Ghost cultivator from Shanbian Village?"

The guards seemed to relax a little, and their serious expressions eased a lot.

However, they still did not let Chu Yang into the village, but just said: "Wait outside for a while, I'll go call our captain."

"Okay."

Chu Yang agreed without hesitation, and he was slightly relieved.

It seems that this Shanshu Village is not hostile to all humans, but is just on guard against certain people with special identities and circumstances.

A figure suddenly appeared in Chu Yang's mind... Lu Feng.

This guy should have been to Shanshu Village before him, right?

Could it be that this guy did something bad in Shanshu Village, which caused Shanshu Village to be so wary of strangers?

Ha...

It seems very possible.

Chu Yang didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.

After waiting quietly outside the wall for a while, there was finally movement on the top of the wall.

A man with long hair leaned half of his body out from the top of the wall, stared at Chu Yang with doubt, and then asked: "Are you from Shanbian Village?"

"Yes."

"Did your Bada village chief send you here for something?"

"No, I came here by myself, for some personal matters."

Chu Yang smiled and said, "In addition, the village chief of Shanbian Village is called Bamu, not Bada. His son is called Babu. He is now the strongest witch blood warrior in the village. Bamu is the only witch in the village. He also taught me the method of witch blood warrior cultivation... You don't need to test me."

"It seems that you really came from Shanbian Village."

The long-haired man breathed a sigh of relief, and then signaled the guards around him to open the village gate.

After a little effort, the heavy wooden door slowly opened, and Chu Yang finally entered Shanshu Village.

After entering the village, Chu Yang immediately found that the population in the village was more than he imagined, estimated to be about four or five hundred people.

And among these four or five hundred people, most of them are young and strong warriors. The old, weak, women and children all added up, it seems that less than half of the total population.

This made him feel a little surprised.

You know, according to the normal population ratio of a family, three generations should be four elderly people, one child, and a couple in their prime.

Of course, this is considered from the perspective of only children.

If there are two brothers in the family, the ratio of the elderly to the middle-aged is equal.

Then a normal family consists of two old people, two young people, and a middle-aged couple.

So the ratio of middle-aged men in a village is about one-sixth.

Then there are other factors to consider.

For example, if a man dies in hunting, this will reduce the ratio of young and middle-aged people.

But similarly, the elderly cannot live too long in such a harsh environment, and the ratio will drop faster.

So, considering various factors, the normal ratio of young and middle-aged people in a village should be about one-fifth.
