The Good For Nothing Seventh Young Lady's

Chapter 371: Uncle Jiu

A while later, Uncle Jiu and Little Ke came out and looked at Old Ba. The three men spoke for a moment.

Uncle Jiu let Shen Yanxiao and Vermilion Bird temporarily stay in his house until tomorrow morning, and then thought of a way to send them home.

“Then we will trouble Uncle Jiu.” Shen Yanxiao smiled and thanked him. The doubt in his heart piled up.

“Even if you can't leave tomorrow, don't worry, the person delivering the food will be here in a few days and they can send you back,” Little Ke opened his mouth while chuckling.

"Ai, if it wasn't for us not being able to leave the village, I would have sent you back today." Old Ba sighed, he wanted to help the two children find their loved ones as quickly as possible.

"Can't leave the village?" Shen Yanxiao was a little surprised.

“Ba Old, it's late. You can do whatever you have to do. I'll take care of them both.” When Old Ba tried to explain something, Uncle Jiu cut it off at the right time.

"Oh well, then let's go first." After saying goodbye to Uncle Jiu, Old Ba and Little Ke left.

Uncle Jiu brought Shen Yanxiao and Vermilion Bird into a small room, which was very small, there was only a simple bed inside.

“You can sleep here tonight. If it's not important don't go out at night, our village is covered in thick negative air, you might find something that might scare you both. Said Uncle Jiu kindly.

"Yes." Yeah." Shen Yanxiao and Vermilion Bird were very cooperative as they nodded their heads.

Uncle Jiu had to do something and say a few more sentences before he left.

Inside the room, there were only Shen Yanxiao and Vermillion Bird. The little Phoenix, who was hiding in Vermilion Bird's hair, came out after Uncle Jiu left. It shook its delicate fur and looked at the strange environment in front of it.

“People in this village are weird.” Vermilion Bird who stood with both feet sat on the only bed in the room.

“You really intend to stay in this village? How do you go to the Sun Graveyard if they send you away?

Shen Yanxiao looked around, there were only a few objects in the room.

He casually said, “I will of course not stay, but I always feel that the people here are very strange. To reach the Sun Graveyard one had to go through this village. There are people in the village during the day. If I just keep going, it might cause some trouble, so I'll sneak out tonight. ”

The people in the village looked very friendly, but the bitter experience of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps was a lesson. If he wanted to walk to the Sun Graveyard through the village in broad daylight, it was hard to guarantee that he would not encounter any problems. Rather than uncovering their goals and being a target, it would be better to plan everything in the dark and avoid the eyes and ears of these people.

If the people in this village did not prevent others from entering the Sun Graveyard, then it was best, but if they did, at least he was prepared for their actions.

Night is always the best protection for thieves.

After deciding to take action that night, Shen Yanxiao also did not spend much time thinking too much. Take it easy, with Vermilion Bird by the side, even if they were to actually encounter danger at night, couldn't he still escape?

Merely, he actually found it hard to imagine that the good villagers were bad people.

The night gradually enveloped the small village. After a busy day, the villagers took their own farm equipment and returned to their respective homes.

Shen Yanxiao sat in front of the window, watching the day pass, and as night fell. There was a glimmer of silence under his eyes.

The night came quietly.

Shen Yanxiao sat in her room, waiting for the right time to come.

Vermilion Bird stood beside her politely, waiting for his master's actions.

Suddenly a noise came from the window. Shen Yanxiao who was preparing to act for a moment was shocked. He only wanted to move when the door was pushed open by Uncle Jiu.

There was no trace of expression visible on Uncle Jiu's face. He looked at the two little men in the room and said in a heavy tone, “There's something out there. I'll take care of it. You two don't go out of the room. Not safe at night.”

Shen Yanxiao nodded honestly.

Uncle Jiu hurriedly left.

As Uncle Jiu turned away, a faint smell of blood floated from him.

Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes. As soon as Uncle Jiu left, he immediately got up and opened the door.

"Vermilion Bird, do you smell it?" Shen Yanxiao asked.

Vermilion Bird sniffed around him.

"There's a medicinal scent and a slight smell of blood?" The Mythological Beasts sense of smell was extremely sensitive, even in the fragrance of such powerful herbs, he still smelled the smell of blood.

Shen Yanxiao furrowed her brows into a frown. This village really gave him a very strange feeling. He looked at the window and peeked outside. Under the shadow of the moon, he could see some black shadows running on the village road at an extremely fast speed.

The shadow was very fast and he could not clearly see what it was.

"Go, let's go and see." Shen Yanxiao always felt Uncle Jiu was strange. Although he did not feel any hatred for her, his interruption towards Old Ba just a moment ago, and the faint smell of blood made him feel strange.

As Uncle Jiu left, Shen Yanxiao followed the faint smell of blood and went deep into the house.

Finally, he found the source of the stench of blood in the corner of the kitchen.

Vermilion Bird moved his fingers and the chunk of stone instantly appeared, a dark passage down appeared in front of them.

"Wait here, and let me know when someone comes." As the slate opened, the smell of blood became stronger. Shen Yanxiao decided to go down by herself to see what it was, maybe she could find the answer to the mysteries of the village.

Vermilion Bird nodded.

Shen Yanxiao took out a crystal that froze the light from her ring and headed into the hallway with her light.

A narrow staircase leads straight down. The further Shen Yanxiao walked, the more clearly she could smell the smell of blood along with the scent of some herbs.

Along the way, a small stone room appeared in front of Shen Yanxiao. The stone room was less than twenty square meters in size, decorated with four wooden beds, and on each bed lay an unconscious man.

On both sides of the stone room were countless large and small medicinal pots. Shen Yanxiao could tell from the smell that most of the medicinal herbs in this medicinal pot were used to heal wounds.

He walked towards the four wooden beds, and through the light from the light-freezing crystal, he saw the faces of the four people.

They were young men in their twenties. Their faces were basically full of wounds, and looking at his injuries, they should have received them half a month ago. In addition, according to the rest of the medical herbs on the wound, it can be guessed that these people should be treated with a certain amount of medicine.

Uncle Jiu's house suddenly emerged from the basement like that, and there were four unconscious men inside. This really made Shen Yanxiao feel very strange.

And what made him even more surprised was that when he checked the four people, he found some badges belonging to the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps!

This group of people from the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps?

Du Lang once said that they had a surprise attack in this small village. Although most managed to escape, there were some people who were unable to get out due to heavy injuries and later died. Du Lang thought this group was dead, but ……

The four individuals before Shen Yanxiao were obviously still alive. Although their bodies were somewhat weak, their lives were not something to worry about. They cannot wake up because they are too slumped.

Did Uncle Jiu save them?

If Uncle Jiu saved them, then Uncle Jiu definitely knew about the attack on the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps.

And it also means that Uncle Jiu must have known the peculiarities of the village.

Merely, why did Little Ke and Old Ba not remember him at all?

More questions are formed. The only thing that Shen Yanxiao believed at the moment was that even though Uncle Jiu was strange or hid some secrets, at least he was not a bad person. Otherwise, he would have absolutely no reason to save those four people. The reason why Uncle Jiu hid them in such a basement, most likely, was because he did not want others to discover their existence.

[Innoying Sky: You know if it was me, I'd think he might be a.) a bad guy b.) a zombie who wants to eat human flesh or c.) he who revives them and makes them villagers]

Could there be anyone in the village who wanted to harm these four people?

Shen Yanxiao frowned slightly. It was hard to imagine that the villagers in this village were bad people. However, other than the villagers, he did not find any other suspicious person inside the village.

A series of questions had yet to unravel, but the questions regarding Uncle Jiu had increased tremendously.

This made the already very mysterious village even more confusing.

Shen Yanxiao pondered for a moment. For now, he did not take any further action to the four people as he still had to go to the Sun Graveyard. If he woke these four people up now, let alone not being able to go to the Sun Graveyard, he could not guarantee that they would not have an accident.

.

Uncle Jiu hid them very well, and also took care of their injuries, at the very least, they were safe for now.

Shen Yanxiao would not leave the people of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps no matter what, so she decided that after she obtained the Skeleton Flower from the Sun Graveyard, it was only after her, he would immediately think of a way to take the four people away.

After making a plan, Shen Yanxiao took out four bottles of Healing Potions from her storage ring and made the four people drink them. This will make them recover faster.

On the way, Shen Yanxiao looked around the basement again and found that there was nothing but a few medicinal pots.

After a while, Shen Yanxiao left the basement, appeared in the kitchen and reunited with Vermilion Bird, they then returned the slate to its place.

"Let's go." Shen Yanxiao glanced at Vermilion Bird. No matter what, he would enter the Sun Graveyard tonight and obtain the Skull Flower.

In the middle of the night, the calmness of the day faded and darkness enveloped the land. Suddenly, the strange roars of ferocious beasts and wailing cries resounded under the night sky, breaking the silence.

After Shen Yanxiao and Vermilion Bird left Uncle Jiu's house, their ears were flooded with terrible cries.

...

...

The sounds came from the entrance of the village. It was like a scream from the bottom of the heart mixed with a horrified scream.

It was hard to imagine such a frightening sound in such a comfortable village.

Shen Yanxiao recalled the fact that the Cave Wolves Pay Army Corps was attacked when they passed through this village. He narrowed his eyes. Although his heart was filled with doubt, going to the Sun Graveyard was his main goal!

Without any hesitation, Shen Yanxiao and Vermilion Bird hid themselves in the darkness and ran towards the end of the village.
