"Uh, I'm so tired!"

After walking for more than twenty minutes on the road, Mao Xiaoting suddenly stopped while holding onto the big suitcase: "I can't walk anymore, why don't you carry me on your back?"

Hearing that, Xiang Anjie who was walking in front turned his head: "I'm carrying you? How can I carry you? "

"Didn't I learn it back in Yunnan? Why don't you just carry me on your back and fly directly in? "

Originally, Mao Xiaoting thought that Xiang Anjie would more or less agree to her request, but she never expected that after hearing these words, Xiang Anjie and Bai Linger who was at the side all turned their heads around at the same time and said, "Absolutely not!"

"Why?"

Seeing this, Mao Xiaoting was startled.

"Hai."

Seeing that she did not understand, Xiang Anjie sighed: "Under this village, there lies a Hanba with Corpse Saint Level! Although it was your grandfather who sealed him underground, it was only a temporary seal carried out during battle. Furthermore, after so many years had passed, no one can guarantee that this seal would be able to completely seal the Hanba, so we have to be extremely careful right now! If I reveal my real zombie body here, there is a chance that the cadaveric qi emitted from my body will not affect this underground Hanba, and once this fellow is awakened by the cadaveric qi, the consequences would be unimaginable. "

"So it's like that …"

Hearing this, Mao Xiaoting felt that his words were reasonable, "But since this is the case, you must at least help me carry my luggage, I am unable to carry it now."

There was no other way, Xiang Anjie could only helplessly take the luggage from her hands.

After walking for another 10 minutes or so, the three of them finally arrived at Zhuangcun.

In fact, the road from Zhuangcun was actually quite easy to walk on. Back then, Bai Linger had only taken half an hour to send Xiang Anjie out.

However, because no one passed this place throughout the year, the road was already filled with weeds and thistles. Thus, the speed at which they were moving forward was not fast at all.

"This!?"

Although she entered the village, when Mao Xiaoting saw the village in front of him with her own eyes, she was stunned.

Previously, when she was walking along this wild road and saw the weeds and thorns growing on the road, and thought back to what Bai Linger and Xiang Anjie had said before, she had also realized that there was indeed no one living in this village for all of the year.

However, the villages that were left uninhabited all year round should be filled with weeds. At the very least, it should be at least half the height of a person.

But why? At this moment, there was not a single blade of grass growing in the village. It was as if someone was taking care of it all year round.

Seeing Mao Xiaoting's surprised expression, Bai Linger, who was at the side, seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, "Sister Xiao Ting, you must be very curious, why there hasn't been anyone in this village for all these years, yet there's no wasteland or grass right?"

Mao Xiaoting nodded her head, and looked at Bai Linger with a somewhat astonished expression.

Bai Linger laughed bitterly, "You should be able to feel it with your status as a enchanter, right?"

Being reminded of this by Bai Linger, Mao Xiaoting was momentarily stunned. Seeming to have realized something, she immediately squatted on the ground, picked up a piece of clod, and gently pinched it.

The clod was instantly reduced to dust, and as the wind blew, it directly dissipated into the air.

Seeing that, Mao Xiaoting stood up, and observed the entire village's situation, she could not help but frown: "Could it be that all of this is because of the fellow sealed underground?"

"That's right."

Bai Linger nodded her head: "The Hanba has appeared, covering a thousand miles! Although this fellow is currently sealed, his power is still spread throughout the village, causing it to be barren within the village. Not even a small amount of water could be seen from digging. "

"No water?"

Hearing that, Mao Xiaoting became anxious: "Then why are we living in this village? That Corpse Saint still doesn't know when he will come here, shouldn't we stay here for a few days? How can we do without water? "

"Don't worry about that. There is a clear spring in the mountain about ten miles away from the village. We can use it to fetch water, but it won't be convenient. So when we live in the village, we need to avoid using water as much as possible."

"Ai, alright then!"

Although she was unwilling, but since she was already in the village, Mao Xiaoting had no choice but to agree.

"Alright then. Let's go quickly. My home is in the village."

With that, Bai Linger walked quickly into the village, while Xiang Anjie and Mao Xiaoting followed behind her.

The walls of every single house were made of dirt and rocks. After being exposed to the sun and wind for so many years, they had already weathered to the point where Mao Xiaoting could easily see the old and worn out houses in the middle of the courtyard.

"Damn, could all these houses have been built during the Republic of China era?"

"Yes, the house in this village was built before Little Japan came, but after that night, nobody came here anymore! After that, the comrades of the Eighth Route Army and the guerrillas came here once and helped dig a lot of holes in the back of the village, burying the bodies of the dead villagers. Since then, no one has lived here, so no matter how the outside world changed, this village has remained unchanged.

Hearing Xiang Anjie speak of all these in one go, then looking at the houses in front of him, Mao Xiaoting's heart was truly filled with innumerable thoughts. Although more than seventy years had passed in this way due to the flow of time, through the walls and rooms, she could still see the past.

"It's like a lifetime ago, like a lifetime ago!"

After looking for a long time, Mao Xiaoting could not help but exclaim.

"Alright, we're here!"

Just at this moment, Bai Linger, who was walking right at the front, suddenly spoke. Hearing that, Mao Xiaoting raised her head and realized that the three of them had arrived at a courtyard with a huge roof over their heads. Compared to the houses that she had seen before, this house seemed to be much cleaner and intact.

"Come in!"

The house's door was not locked. Bai Linger pushed open the door and three people walked in.

"Aiyo, this house is pretty clean. After seventy-six years, the structure seems to be quite intact. It's not damaged at all. It's not simple!"

After looking through it, especially the few wooden beams on the roof that were still completely undamaged, Mao Xiaoting was really surprised.

"Of course, back then, when the houses were built in the village, everyone helped each other. They used the best wood and soil to build the strongest house. As long as there were no artillery shells, living for a hundred years would not be a problem!"

At this point, Bai Linger laughed coldly, "How can it be like this, black-hearted developers and engineering teams are everywhere.

"Enough, stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and prepare."

With that, Xiang Anjie turned to look at the brick bed, then looked at the earth stove: "The weather isn't too good recently, and it's still a little cold at night. How about this, the two of you clean up here, I'll go out and bring back two buckets of water, and some firewood as well."

Hearing that, Bai Linger immediately took out his carrying pole and bucket, and passed them to Xiang Anjie: "Return quickly."

After about an hour, Xiang Anjie returned with two buckets of water. Behind him, was half a dead Yang Tree.

With the help of wood and water, the stove started a fire half an hour later. The cold brick bed and the cold house started to warm up. The big black pot on the stove also started to boil water.

"Alright!"

After pouring a basin of black sewage into the courtyard, Bai Linger turned and walked back: "The rooms are almost done."

"Phew, it's finally done."

Hearing this, Mao Xiaoting threw the cloth onto the edge of the brick bed, and then used her hands to wipe the sweat on her forehead.

This scene was quite strange: a well-dressed, stylishly dressed, and beautifully dressed woman was actually tidying up an old farmhouse. No one would believe it if they told others about it.

"Hee hee!"

Although she had lived in the city for so many years, Bai Linger should still have some special feelings for the brick bed in her hometown. Hence, when the brick bed was heated up, she immediately jumped onto the bed and sat on it with her legs crossed: "Sister Xiao Ting, you should also come up quickly!"

"Yes."

Mao Xiaoting nodded her head, then took off her shoes and got on the brick bed as well, "Aiyo, you don't say it, it's really warm!"

"Hmph hmph, am I right? "My kang is the most comfortable."

With that, Bai Linger lied down on the brick bed. "The only pity is that all of my bedding is gone, otherwise, putting a thick blanket on top of the bed and hiding on the warm brick bed in the middle of the night would be a type of enjoyment …"

"That's enough!"

Seeing Bai Linger's satisfied expression, Xiang Anjie coughed, "We aren't here on vacation, don't forget our mission this time."

"I didn't forget."

With that, Bai Linger sat up on the brick bed: "Seeing that the guy hasn't come yet, we need to use this time to make sufficient preparations. Sister Xiao Ting, have you brought all the things here?"

"Yes."

Mao Xiaoting nodded his head: "I have brought all the things you asked me to, I can start working anytime."

You let my dad tell you the specific location, you should reinforce the seal point of the Hanba first just in case. Then you set up a defense around the village. It's past four in the afternoon, so try to finish your work before it gets dark. "

"No problem, then let's do it."

Under Bai Linger's command, the three of them started to move.

Xiang Anjie brought Mao Xiaoting to the place where the Hanba was initially sealed in the courtyard: "This is the place!"

Mao Xiaoting nodded, and then pulled open the suitcase behind him: "I really dare not imagine, the legendary monster with the ability to slaughter gods and dragons, which was said to be able to cover a thousand miles, would actually be sealed under my feet!"
