Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning Chapter 633 - 278 Tihu Village3

"Where is this young man from?"

"Greetings to all elders."

Su Mo always maintained his manners and greeted with clasped hands: "We have co from afar and just passed through your village. Seeing that it is getting late, we plan to stay overnight in this village. May I know if it is convenient for you?"

"Oh."

Several old n looked at each other, and finally one of them, feeling slightly embarrassed, asked:

"That... will there be silver provided?"

"Of course."

Su Mo said with a smile: "Since we are neither kin nor acquaintances, how could we stay for free in your house?"

"That’s good, that’s good."

The old man then nodded and said: "I see your group isn’t large, why don’t you co with ? My spouse should have prepared the al by now. It’s just simple food and drink, have a al with us."

After saying this, he stooped and led the way.

The remaining old n glanced at his retreating figure:

"He got ahead of us again."

"Indeed, indeed, this old man is always quick to speak."

Su Mo and his group couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this.

However, monts later, Su Mo’s expression changed slightly.

He scanned the village back and forth, seemingly deep in thought.

Yang Xiaoyun also seed to notice sothing and furrowed her brows.

Hu Sandao moved forward to chat with the old man, ntioning that he had stayed here before, and wondered if the old man rembered?

The old man looked at him several tis and shook his head: "I don’t rember, I’m old and my mory is not good."

Hu Sandao didn’t mind and asked: "I rember there is a large house on the east side of the village with the Qi family na, are they still around?"

"...Everyone in this village has the surna Qi, but that big house on the east side, the family is long gone.

"It’s been many years."

Hu Sandao was taken aback, unsure of what to say next.

Zhen Xiaoxiao, anwhile, had been distinguishing slls along the way, and by this ti had identified quite a few foods.

At first, it all seed normal.

But as she continued, it started to beco unreliable with ntions of soy sauce beef, roast suckling pig and the like, which sowhat confused people.

It appeared as though the food in this village was better than at the escort agency.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun exchanged glances, their eyes sparkling with an indecipherable light.

Following the old man, they swiftly arrived at a courtyard.

As he pushed open the courtyard gate, they saw a middle-aged man, shirtless, chopping wood in the yard.

Upon hearing the sound of the gate, he looked up, first seeing the old man and about to call out, then saw Su Mo and his party.

He was slightly startled: "Dad... do we have guests?"

"Yes."

The old man nodded: "Later, clean up those few rooms and let them stay. Also, tell Xiulan to add two more dishes, and go slaughter that chicken in the backyard to stew; it’s not laying eggs anymore, just right for a feast."

"Alright."

The middle-aged man imdiately nodded: "You folks, please enter the house, I will... I will take you in."

He was sowhat nervous, wiping his hands on his pants before hurriedly leading Su Mo and the others into the house.

The courtyard had three large houses, each with three rooms.

The central one had a kitchen, suitable both for cooking and heating, with an eight immortals table set between two stoves.

The rooms on either side were for living.

As Su Mo and his party entered, they saw an elderly woman and a younger woman busily preparing the al, taking dishes out of the pots and setting them on the table.

Hearing footsteps, they turned around and were startled by the strangers.

The middle-aged man quickly explained the situation, and the younger woman imdiately nodded and went to the backyard to slaughter the chicken.

The old lady then warmly said, "Co, have a seat first. Xiulan is quick at slaughtering chickens, but maybe... try so of these ho-cooked dishes first?"

"Mom, then I’ll go chop so more wood."

"Alright, where’s your dad?"

"Probably went to the outhouse?"

The middle-aged man talked as he went back into the yard to chop wood.

Su Mo shifted his gaze from this man to the old lady, about to speak when the old lady had already stood up:

"Eat first, don’t mind us, I’ll go tidy up the rooms for tonight."

She then left.

The stoves on either side still held warmth, the ground underfoot was hard-packed black mud, and the table bore simple food and drink.

Su Mo and his group had not yet sat down when Zhen Xiaoxiao inhaled the aromas, reaching for the cornbread.

"Xiao Xiao."

Yang Xiaoyun suddenly spoke, and Zhen Xiaoxiao imdiately stopped.

Turned back to look at Yang Xiaoyun: "Second Master?"

However, Yang Xiaoyun’s eyes turned to Su Mo, who by then had reached the dining table, sitting down and breaking a piece of cornbread, bringing it to his nose for a sll, inspecting it, then tossed it to Zhen Xiaoxiao:

"Go ahead and eat."

Zhen Xiaoxiao took it without ceremony, grabbing two more cornbreads and stuffing them into his mouth.

Hu Sandao finally relaxed at this mont.

From this episode, he had thought there was sothing wrong with the food, that there was sothing amiss with this village.

After Yang Xiaoyun sat down, he hurriedly took a seat, speaking:

"Qingquan Mountain is no longer far from Jifeng Mountain.

"Once at Jifeng Mountain, it will be even more convenient to reach Wusheng Hall.

"The distance between the two is less than a hundred miles."

Su Mo nodded.

Hu Sandao couldn’t help asking again: "Chief... have you guys noticed anything? Is sothing off about this village?"

As he spoke, he also thought back, realizing that since entering the village everything seed normal.

Inside the village, it was the sa: several old n gathering to chat, won cooking, n chopping wood, doing chores around the house when there’s no farming to do, or strolling around the village...

Everything seed normal.

Then he saw Su Mo shake his head: "There’s nothing off about this village."

Hu Sandao was about to breathe a sigh of relief, only to hear Su Mo speak softly:

"It’s very much off!"

Hu Sandao imdiately felt a chill, and Yang Xiaoyun spoke softly:

"I’ve felt sothing was off all along the way, only realizing here that... there are no children in this village."
