The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss - Chapter 479

Chapter 479: 479

Chapter 479: Graveyard of the Sun (3)

Shen Yanxiao arrived at the village entrance after about an hour’s walk .

The small village had many tiny houses that nestled next to each other . With dark mottled walls and roofs made of stacks of straws, the houses appeared to be shabby and crude .

Some cheerful villagers in short-sleeve shirts walked past the entrance with hoes on their shoulders .

Shen Yanxiao squinted her eyes . She could finally understand why Du Lang did not have any suspicions when he was in the village . Everything about it indicated poverty and simplicity, no matter how one observed the village .

Suddenly, the villagers saw Shen Yanxiao and Vermillion Bird at the entrance . With a kind expression on their faces, the villagers stepped toward her with a kin smile . “Little friends, what are you two doing here? Are you lost? Our village is in the middle of nowhere . You must be exhausted . ”

Shen Yanxiao did not reply to him . She carefully observed the village as he stood quite close to them . She could tell that he did not fake his kindness . There was not a single hint of hypocrisy in his unsophisticated eyes .

The man was either a great actor, or he was an honest man .

“Old Ba, didn’t you harvest some fresh summer radishes in your home? Go on and get some for the kids here . ” Even though Shen Yanxiao did not say anything, the villagers did not mind her . They were quite worried about their safety in such an undeveloped place . They were hospitable, and they even tried to find them some food .

“Yes, I will do that now . Ah Ke, take the two kids to Uncle Nine’s place so that they can have some rest . Get them some water to drink too . ” The middle-aged man, referred to as Old Ba, seemed to be quite simple in nature . He left as soon as he finished his words, with a hoe on his shoulder, to pick up some food for Shen Yanxiao and the Vermillion Bird .

“You two must be very young . I feel so sorry for you . Come with me so you can rest and have some water . Have you wandered away from your family? I’ll take you to Uncle Nine now; he is our village head . We will ask him if he has a way to send you home . ” Ah Ke looked as if he was in his early twenties . He was not tall but was blessed with a muscular build .

Shen Yanxiao was not surprised that the villagers would think that they were lost . The village was the only one within hundreds of kilometers radius . Otherwise, there seemed to be no other reason why those two kids would be at their village .

The villagers could only think of Shen Yanxiao and Vermillion Bird as children who got separated from their family . The villagers tried their best to help the two young and helpless children .

The Vermillion Bird was about to say something when Shen Yanxiao glared at him .

Shen Yanxiao nodded and pretended to be adorable . Still, she said nothing in reply .

Ah Ke and the other two villagers brought Shen Yanxiao and the Vermillion Bird into the village .

Shen Yanxiao noticed that the villagers wore ragged clothes with many patches on them . The toe caps on Ah Ke’s shoes were worn out, and his two toes were exposed; it was quite a sad look .

They met other villagers while they were on their way, and they seemed to be in a similar condition as the villagers that they had met .

The houses in the village looked decrepit too . Some roofs had almost collapsed, but there were still people in it . Most did not even have any doors or windows . No matter how one looked at it, the village looked impoverished .

Nonetheless, the villagers there were exceptionally kind and were always ready to help others .

The villagers did not even question outsiders like Shen Yanxiao and the Vermillion Bird much . Instead, they offered to provide them with food warm-heartedly, and they also asked Ah Ke to take care of the two kids as he brought them to Uncle Nine’s place .
