Chapter 3022
3022 Peach Village
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man frowned and said: “You are too benevolent. If they harm anyone in the future, it would be because of your mistake today.”
Feng Jiu chuckled lightly: “Is it necessary to destroy them first because we want to prevent those things from happening in the future?”
The middle-aged man was silent and didn’t speak.
Wanyan Shisan smiled and said: “It’s fine, let’s go to that village and check out the situation first.”
!!
So, the three of them left the dense forest together and walked along the path until they came to the small village hidden in the base of the mountain.
When they saw the smoke curling up from the peaceful looking small village, Feng Jiu and Wanyan Shisan glanced at each other discreetly. This place looked like an ordinary village, in fact, it appeared even calmer than ordinary villages.
However, all was not what it seemed when it was too calm.
As they walked forward, they saw two rows of peach trees that were planted at the front of the village. Every house seemed to have a peach tree at the front of their house and the back of their house. The peaches that were hanging from the tree were still pink and juicy.
“Why are there so many peach trees planted in this village?” The middle-aged man said, then he looked around and came to a peach tree. He reached out and picked one, then he wiped it and started to eat it.
When Wanyan Shisan saw this, he also picked two and handed one to Feng Jiu: “Come on, try it.”
“Are we stealing peaches?” Feng Jiu asked with a smile, but she reached out and took the peach. After she wiped the fine hairs on the peach, she took a bite and walked inside.
There was an old woman sitting in front of a house. The old woman looked at them and asked: “Who are you looking for?” Her voice was hoarse and old, and breathless.
“We are from the Immortal Sect. We have been sent here on a mission.” Wanyan Shisan said. Then he strode forward and asked: “Did a beautiful woman in red come here a while ago?”
“A woman in red?” The old woman thought for a while, then nodded: “Yes. She stayed for one night then she left to go to that mountain.” She stretched out her skinny hand and pointed to a big mountain.
“Old lady, can we stay here for one night?” Feng Jiu asked.
“Of course, but we have nothing to entertain you with here. Our lodgings are crude and simple. You are Immortals, will you be able to stay here comfortably?” The old woman asked as she held the door for support and stood up.
“We are not picky.” Wanyan Shisan said with a bright smile.
“Come with me then! No one lives in the hut behind my house, you can stay there! The red-clothed Immortal also stayed in the hut behind my house when she came some time ago.”
While she spoke, the old woman led them to the back and they came to a shabby hut, then she said to them: “We only have a dozen families here, all of them are elderly people. The young ones have all gone outside.”
“I heard that strange things often happen in your village? Can you tell us about it?” Feng Jius asked.
“Strange things? Haha, the strange things are that we fall out of bed when we sleep at night, when we are walking at night we bump into the wall, some even fall down. Two days ago, Old Lady Li, who lives in the back, fell down and she is still lying in bed!”
Upon hearing this, she said: “I know a little bit about medicine, so I can take a look at her. Please take us there!”
“Fine.” The old woman nodded and led them towards the house at the back of the village with trembling footsteps.
“Old Lady, why are there so many peach trees planted here?” Feng Jiu looked at the surrounding peach trees and asked.
