The next day.

Unlike the clear and clear sky on the first day, when Chi Yu woke up again, he found that the sky was already filled with thick dark clouds, adding a sense of dullness and desolation to the village that was already buried in silence.

Affected by the weather, everyone stopped thinking about chatting. After confirming the groups and the areas each group was responsible for, they were ready to start exploring the new environment.

But before that, they had one more thing to do.

"Xiaomei, lead the way." Qu Yiyang nuzzled his chin towards his companion, "Let's go to Mr. Lu's house to visit and ask her about the objects of sacrifice."

Since He Meimei didn't like the name "Meixiang" - this name always reminded her of the maids who served in the high gate compound in ancient times, Qu Yiyang and others had no choice but to compromise and just call her "Xiao Mei".

"...So many people together?" Anna Meimei disagreed, "Would it scare people?"

It's already rude to delve into other people's secrets, but going with a large group of people will give people a "coercive" feeling...

Although she knew in her heart that she was doing this to obtain more information... but from the perspective of Mr. Lu, she did feel a little uncomfortable.

"Then we will divide them into two groups." Qu Yiyang changed his words without any principle, "Xiaomei, Great Artist, you take Tianxuan and I to find Mr. Lu."

He turned to Chi Yu and Qin Zhen, "You follow Mu Xue and Shi Ling and go around the courtyard where Mr. Lu paid homage to see if you can find any clues."

"But remember...anything related to 'gods' is either mysterious, dangerous, or both mysterious and dangerous."

Qu Yiyang warned in a very motherly manner, "Once you encounter any problem that cannot be solved, avoid it immediately to save your own life."

"As for the follow-up, whether we should explore together or tell Qi Sheng and Qi Yue directly, it depends on the situation."

He finally stressed, "No matter what...you absolutely, absolutely cannot be brave!"

"I know." Qin Zhen nodded.

Qu Yiyang nodded and said nothing more.

No matter his partner, Chi Yu, who has a ghost next to him, or Chu Musu, who has experienced more dungeons than all of them combined, or the NPC Shi Ling, who seems to be very reliable, they don't look like him. The kind of person who acts impulsively.

It was precisely because of this that he made such a grouping arrangement.

If Fang Yu is placed in the "exploring the courtyard" group... God knows whether he will do something big quietly, even if he is watching.

After all, no matter how good the owner is... he can't keep an eye on a newly released Erha.

On the other side, Fang Yu, who was following Lin Shenze and preparing to go out, rubbed his nose.

How do I feel...as if someone is scolding me behind my back?

……

The gloomy sky, the swaying treetops, the hurried and nervous villagers...

Everything was sending a message to Chi Yu and others.

——The mountain rain is about to come, and the wind fills the building.

Qin Zhen's brows frowned unconsciously.

She looked at the two figures in front of her who were focused on each other, and finally couldn't hold it back anymore. She leaned into Chi Yu's ear and whispered, "Should we find someone to ask about the situation?"

Don't blame her for being unable to calm down... the Shenyou Village in front of her was completely different from the one she saw yesterday.

Although they are indeed two independent worlds, they are both based on reality...how can there be such a big difference?

If we say that under the weaving of the third witch Zhu, Shenyou Village is like a paradise where despite constant foreign troubles, everyone has hope and the overall atmosphere is prosperous...

The illusion controlled by the first Wu Zhu had lost its tranquility and peace... It was like an isolated island struggling to survive in troubled times.

Chi Yu's eyes also wandered over the pedestrians passing by.

Hearing this, she shook her head slightly: "Let's wait until the problem in hand is solved first."

Qin Zhen thought about it, and it was the same...you have to eat one bite at a time, and do things step by step.

Nearly an hour later, this strange team, which clearly had four members but was as quiet as if no one existed, finally arrived at their destination.

As Shi Ling said yesterday, the courtyard is located at the northernmost edge of Shenyou Village. Not to mention the residents around it, there are not even a few adjacent houses.

The weeds that have not been taken care of all year round have long covered the entire wall. Occasionally, a few branches stick out of the wall, and a few scattered flowers stretch out on them, adding a few rays to the gloomy tone around them. Bright feeling.

Near the courtyard gate, the overgrown weeds were ruthlessly pulled out, clearing a path that could barely accommodate one person's entry and exit.

Looking at the rather solid soil... it was obvious that this path had appeared a long time ago.

but……

Chi Yu's eyes scanned the green leaves quietly peeking out from the road.

It doesn't look like there are people walking around all the time.

Perhaps it was because they had visited yesterday and had already surveyed the terrain and environment. Chu Musu and Shi Ling, who were leading the way, did not stop and walked straight towards the courtyard gate.

Chi Yu and Qin Zhen followed closely behind.

squeak-

The old wooden door made an unbearable groan as it opened and closed.

As an ancient and decaying atmosphere hit the face, the scenery in the courtyard slowly unfolded in front of everyone's eyes like a scroll.

In the courtyard, there are lush vegetation, and there is a kind of vigorous vitality that is completely different from the almost collapsed house at the end of the line of sight.

A group of four people went straight to the end of the road. Looking at the crumbling wooden door, Shi Ling paused for half a second in reaching out.

He relaxed his strength and pushed the door open very gently and slowly.

The first thing that caught everyone's eyes was a square wooden table with a round stool on each side. Several plates of quite good-looking pastries were neatly placed on the clean table.

There is a beautiful ceramic flower pot on the windowsill facing the wooden table. There is a green plant of unknown species in it. Wrapped in slender leaves, a light purple five-petal flower is blooming quietly.

The entire room had obviously been cleaned, and not even a speck of dust could be seen on the ground... If it weren't for the lack of furniture, and the lack of necessary beds, wardrobes, etc., Chi Yu would have suspected that someone was living here.

It's a bit unexpected... but it seems reasonable.

Chi Yu thought to himself.

Shi Ling stood by the door and observed for a while, then walked inside and opened the closed window.

The cool breeze blew by, and the green plants and leaves on the windowsill swayed, instantly making the too-quiet room come alive.

"...Wouldn't it be bad to open someone's window so casually?"

Qin Zhen hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
