Wei Cang watched as the villager entered a house.
He turned to ask Yuan Gu, “Don’t you think this villager is a little strange?”
Yuan Gu shook his head and said frankly, “I just feel that this village feels unlucky. As soon as I entered, my face was covered in joss paper money. Pfft!”
Wei Cang frowned and didn’t say anything else to him.
He went forward to check the villager’s basket of eggs.
Immediately, he became even more puzzled.
There were only four to five eggs in the basket.
He came from a poor family. In the past, his old mother had also raised chickens and sold eggs.
In order to survive, even if there were only three eggs, they would have to separate the eggs into two baskets and bring them to the town to sell.
She was afraid that if the basket accidentally fell, the eggs would be ruined.
Therefore, having two baskets was also to be on the safe side.
However, this villager had not only walked for so long at night for four to five eggs…
It was really strange that he even placed the eggs into one single basket.
However, Wei Cang’s confusion only lasted for a moment.
He thought that perhaps it was because the people of Great Qi were different.
Not long later, the villager walked out with a thin old man.
“This is our Village Chief Wang,” the villager introduced.
Village Chief Wang’s hair was white and he was extremely polite. His voice was hoarse. “Esteemed guests, it’s been hard on you to come from afar.
“I’ve already heard about things from Wang Wu. Since you guys are temporarily staying here and there are many people, why don’t you go to the spacious house on the slope to rest for the night?”
Wei Cang said calmly, “Thank you for your hospitality, Village Chief Wang.”
He took out a silver ingot and handed it over. “This is our thanks.”
However, Village Chief Wang waved his hand and didn’t accept it.
He was even unmoved.
He turned to the villager called Wang Wu and said, “Bring them over.”
After saying that, he walked shakily back into his house.
Wei Cang planned to give the money to Wang Wu, but Wang Wu also refused.
He only said, “This is just a small help. There’s no need to pay.”
Wei Cang’s eyes darkened. He smiled and put the silver back into his sleeve.
This group of villagers didn’t seem to be greedy for money and looked like people who lived in a paradise away from the secular world.
However, if they really didn’t lack money, why would he be carrying the basket out to sell eggs at night?
This meant that they still needed to live.
However, even though he had deliberately given them such a large ingot of silver, they were actually unmoved.
Ordinary commoners might not even earn one ingot a year.
The reactions of this village chief and the villagers were really strange.
When Wei Cang passed by Yuan Gu, he instructed in a low voice, “Get the guards to be on guard.”
Gu Nuo’er carried the little black wolf and leaned against the carriage window, sizing up the scenery in the village.
In a room, a boy heard the sounds and ran out curiously to take a look.
Gu Nuo’er smiled sweetly at him and waved.
Unexpectedly, the boy’s mother ran out and quickly carried the child. She turned around and ran into the house.
The door was closed with a bang.
The child’s round and tender face was filled with confusion.
Were all the villagers here afraid of strangers?
The big house on the slope that Village Chief Wang mentioned was actually a renovated old residence.
The decorations were more luxurious and were much better than the fenced courtyards where the villagers lived at the foot of the slope.
Wang Wu explained, “As the slope is far from the field and it’s inconvenient, everyone vacated this house.”
He didn’t stay any longer and only pointed out the location of his house to Wei Cang. He said that if there was anything they needed, he would look for him again and then walk down the slope.
Gu Nuo’er carried the little black wolf and was invited out of the carriage by Wei Cang.
“Your Highness.” Wei Cang’s voice was very soft. He looked at the dark forest around him. “If you want to move around tonight, call Yuan Gu and me.”
Gu Nuo’er was very obedient. “Don’t worry, Dudu. I’m tired. I just want to sleep and not run around.”
She carried the little black wolf into the house.
Wei Cang immediately got the guards to circle around the house and stand guard.
Yuan Gu guarded the back of the house while he sat at the door in front.
In the house at the foot of the slope, Village Chief Wang stood in the darkness and looked at the brightly lit house on the slope.
A sinister and scheming glint flashed across his old eyes.
