"Yes, I think so too."

Miss Ya Ling nodded in agreement, admiring Ye Feng even more.

"I think next, we should look for clues to pass the test in the village. As for what that thing is, I don't know."

Ye Feng shook his head slowly. Although he thought of many problems, he could not think of the key to passing the test.

"We will split up and meet again here before night falls."

Miss Yao Ling spoke calmly. She could not imagine what the key to passing the test was, but if the two of them searched separately, the chance would be greater.

"good."

Ye Feng and Miss Ya Ling looked at each other and said, "Be careful."

After saying that, Ye Feng turned around and left. Miss Ya Ling glanced at Ye Feng and turned around to leave.

The village seemed small, but in fact it was very big. Ye Feng and Miss Ya Ling ran non-stop last night and only ran around the village twice. The real area of ​​the village was comparable to that of a big city.

Ye Feng searched in the village. He jumped in every courtyard he passed to check, but these courtyards were ordinary homes, but they were somewhat deserted because they had been uninhabited for a long time.

After searching, Ye Feng found nothing. The sun had already risen in the sky and it was now noon.

"There's still one afternoon left."

Ye Feng squinted at the sun and continued to search. After an hour, he came to a very luxuriously decorated courtyard.

This courtyard is much larger than other courtyards in the village. It should be the residence of a very important person in the village, most likely the landlord or the village leader.

Ye Feng did not hesitate and pushed the door open. He saw a rockery pond in the courtyard. The water in the pond had dried up, revealing cracked soil and decaying lotus flowers.

Ye Feng continued deeper and came to a lobby. The door of the lobby was half open, and you could see the Eight Immortals table and mahogany chairs inside, which were all valuable furniture.

"Creak."

Ye Feng pushed open the long-abandoned door. There was a burst of dust in the lobby, so the furniture was covered with a layer of dust. He searched carefully in the lobby for a while, but Ye Feng didn't gain much. He only found a few holes in the corners.

The hole is thick, like a dog hole, and just by being in the house, it's hard to figure out what the hole is for.

Afterwards, Ye Feng walked out of the lobby and searched in the backyard. He found a service hall. He saw that the service hall was full of holes the size of dog holes and there were a lot of animal feces the size of red beans.

Above the service hall, the memorial tablets of the ancestors of the owner of the courtyard are enshrined. However, most of these tablets have been eaten by inexplicable creatures, leaving deep ravines. It is difficult to see the names recorded on them. Ye Feng only passes through these gnawing marks. It was judged that the person eating the tablet must be a rat, and a big rat at that.

"Big mouse……"

Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat as he remembered the giant rat that chased him last night. He looked at the animal feces on the ground and was immediately sure that it was rat feces.

"Although the rats that ate the memorial tablets and left their feces were large, they did not reach the level of giant rats. Is there any connection between them?"

Ye Feng squinted his eyes and thought carefully. The other courtyards in the village were completely different from the courtyard he was in now. This courtyard was excellent in terms of decoration, area, and location, and was incompatible with those dilapidated courtyards.

"There is something wrong with this compound..."

Ye Feng thought carefully and turned the courtyard upside down, but still found nothing, and finally returned to the waiting hall.

"boom!"

Ye Feng stamped his foot on the big hole in the waiting hall, and saw that the cave collapsed, revealing a long tunnel, and a wooden sign could be vaguely seen deep in the tunnel.

"This is……"

Ye Feng narrowed his eyes and continued to dismantle the tunnel, and finally took out the wooden tablet. He saw that it was also a tablet, and the names on it were clear and had not been eaten.

"The eldest young master of the Shu family, Shu Tianzheng."

"What does it mean?"

Ye Feng frowned. The name Rat reminded him of something, but he didn't dare to confirm it.

After thinking about it, Ye Feng stepped out of the courtyard. The sky was getting darker and the sun was about to set. It was time for him to join the Crow Spirit.

Ye Feng returned to the meeting place agreed upon by the two of them. Not long after waiting, he saw Ya Ling holding a tablet in his hand and walking from a short distance away.

"Huh? Do you have it in your hand too?"

Miss Ya Ling came to Ye Feng and looked at the tablet in Ye Feng's hand in surprise.

"That's where the problem should be."

Ye Feng nodded slightly, and his eyes fell on the tablet in Miss Yaling's hand, which read the second young master of the Shu family, Shu Tianyi.

"This should have something to do with that big rat."

Miss Crow Spirit's eyes flickered. She had captured a hint of the truth about this weird village, but the conjectures in her mind could not be connected together.

"Where did you go?"

Ye Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

"It looks like a government office, but there shouldn't be a government office in the village. I guess it was built by the village chief without authorization."

Miss Crow Ling said.

Hearing this, Ye Feng's heart moved. The Baochang is the largest official in a village, similar to the position of village chief.

Miss Ya Ling found a tablet of the ancestor of the Shu family in the Yamen built by the Baozhang without permission. She found a tablet in the largest courtyard in the village, which should be the house of the village landlord.

If you think about it carefully, although the landlord and the security chief are not big shots, to the villagers, they can be regarded as collusion between the officials and the gentry. When these two forces are combined, the villagers may not be able to resist.

"The two highest status beings in the village are brothers..."

Ye Feng narrowed his eyes. The village was deserted and only one giant rat existed. The landlord and the guardian of the village were all related to the giant rat. This...

"The giant rat was probably raised by them!"

Ye Feng's eyes were solemn, and he looked at Miss Ya Ling seriously and said.

"I also have this guess, but it's not important."

Miss Crow Ling shook her head, "Even if the giant rat is really supported by the two brothers, the security chief and the landlord, so what? This news is not helpful to us."

"The most important thing is to think clearly about how to deal with this giant rat. If we don't kill it, we may be trapped in this secret test."

Hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but remain silent. Miss Crow Ling was right. What was important was not the origin of the giant rat, but how to kill it.

"But is it really useless to know this information..."

Ye Feng's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Miss Ya Ling seriously and said, "Do you know what the landlord and the security chief look like?"

"I only saw the tablets. This village is deserted. Who can know what they look like?"

Miss Ya Ling frowned and said, not understanding Ye Feng's question.

"I'll look for it. If I can find it, it might be of some use."

Ye Feng became excited and turned towards the landlord's house.
