(Chapter 11: Ye Xin Is Extremely Worried)
After a while, Ye Xin and Elusha arrived at the village. As soon as they entered the village, they felt that the atmosphere was not right.
The village was too quiet. Although it was not the kind where there was no one or the gate was closed, there were too few people in the village. Most of them were especially old and young children. There was almost no young person. The entire village seemed lifeless.
Ye Xin was quite familiar with this. The young people in the village were not willing to stay in the countryside and work in the city. Could it be that this was also popular in the Otherworld?
"The atmosphere is a little off."
"We'll know if we ask someone.”
Elsa immediately walked toward an old lady who was sitting under a big tree and enjoying the shade. She asked,""I want to ask you something. Have you heard of mountain bandits here?”
"Girl, what did you say about the mountain?" The old grandma asked, a little deaf.”
" Mountain bandits?!" Elsa raised her voice.
"What thief?"
" Mountain bandits?!!"
"What mountain?"
“......”
Both Elusha and Ye Xin were speechless. This scene reminded Ye Xin of a movie he had once watched," XX Troubles ". Ye Xin wasn't sure if Elusha was troubled, but he was a little troubled.
Elsa looked at Ye Xin helplessly. Ye Xin took out a handful of candy and went to the children who were playing.
"Little friend! I have some candies here. I just want to ask you a few questions. If you answer them to my satisfaction, I'll reward you with a candy.”
This group of little rascals immediately surrounded Ye Xin." If you have any questions, just ask!”
"Alright, first question. Where are the adults in this village?”
"I know! I know!"
"I know that too!"
All the children scrambled to raise their hands. Ye Xin picked the one that looked the most mischievous because this guy looked very similar to him.
"The village lords have all gone to work for Lord Darlock.”
Ye Xin took out a piece of candy and gave it to the little brat." Who knows what kind of job he's going to do?”
All the children shook their heads. Ye Xin asked again,"Have you heard of mountain bandits nearby?”
All the children shook their heads and said,"Never heard of it."
Ye Xin gave all the candies to these little ghosts and said,"I'm very satisfied with your answers. I've already given you the candies.”
"Oh, oh!" All the little brats ran over excitedly to distribute the candy.
Elsa looked at Ye Xin curiously and asked,""Do you know anything by asking these questions?”
Ye Xin closed his eyes and recalled for a moment before nodding and saying,"I have a rough guess. Look at this village. It's not rich, but it's not poor either. Moreover, there's not even a young man in the village.”
"But this place is very peaceful. If I'm not mistaken, that guy just wants us to help him deal with some private matters.”
"Let's go to the mountain road.”
Ye Xin and Elusha arrived at the mountain path. As a qualified village bully, he had maxed out on the basic skills of hunting in the mountains and fishing in the river. There had never been a prey that could escape after being targeted by Ye Xin. Soon, Ye Xin found some clues.
Following these traces, Ye Xin and Elsa arrived at an extremely remote valley.
Elsa was stunned by the scene before her. The valley was filled with extremely simple and crude houses. There were men and women, and all of them had the same characteristics. They were all sallow and emaciated, and their clothes were not enough to cover their bodies. There were also iron shackles on their necks, wrists, and ankles.
Seeing this familiar appearance, a memory that was engraved into her bones surfaced in Elsa's mind. Elsa's face began to turn pale as she hugged her shoulders. Her body could not help but tremble as she said,"They are?"
"They should be the bandits that Darok spoke of.”
Ye Xin saw the people in the valley, and the people in the valley naturally noticed Ye Xin and Elsa, the two uninvited guests.
Everyone immediately became nervous. They surrounded Ye Xin and Elsa with crude weapons in their hands and questioned loudly,"Who are you? Why did you come here?"
Ye Xin raised his hands to indicate that he was not in danger. He said,"We are Magic Shooters from the Fairy's Tail Guild. We were entrusted by Darok to investigate the bandits.”
Everyone became agitated when they heard Locke's name, and their eyes revealed hatred.
"Darlock, that damned demon actually called us bandits! He is the biggest and worst thief. One day, I will kill him with my own hands!”
"Are you the accomplices of that demon?”
"How is that possible!" Ye Xin waved his hand and said. I'm so cute, how could I be that fat pig's accomplice? We're partners of justice.”
"If you can tell us about your situation, we are Magic Shooters of the Guild of Magic. If there is a need, we can accept your mission and help you.”
Everyone looked at each other. Ye Xin and Elusha were just a teenager and a girl, not much older than the children of many people present. Were they really trustworthy?
Suddenly, an elderly man walked out and said,""If you want to hear it, then let me tell you.”
" Village chief?!"
The old man raised his hand and said," We can't hide forever. Our families are still waiting for us. Today, we were found by the two children. Tomorrow, we might be found by Darlock's people. They are our last hope."”
