I'm just a demon king who loves to fish anyway season iii

37. The Strange Village

After eating, a certain silver-haired couple first found a bed and breakfast and settled their luggage before heading towards the ancestral hall at the address provided by Ziyu.

    After arriving in the small county where Ziyu's hometown is located, they took a taxi through a town and arrived at the bottom of a mountain. As Ziyu had said, the two of them first bought some fruit and gifts in the county, and later they needed to visit the older generation in the small mountain village.

    After rushing for most of the day to reach their first destination, even though they were prepared, they frowned when they saw the dilapidated state of the village.

    The entire village was made up of scattered houses made of brick and mortar, and the cowsheds and pigsties were simply enclosed with straw and wood. The villagers had to fetch their daily water from a nearby stream in the mountains, not to mention the electricity.

    The villagers had to fetch their daily water from the nearby stream in the mountains, not to mention the electricity.

    The village is almost isolated from the rest of the world," said Ziyu. "Didn't Ziyu say that almost all the people living in this village are old people and children, and the young people have gone out to work? How come no one has come back to discover this place... The little devil is a bit unable to understand, there are many people who have gone out and the village is not completely isolated, it doesn't make sense that it would be in such a state of disrepair, right?

    Although it is not an obligatory act to help the development of the hometown, it is all out of love. But to leave the old people at home in such conditions in the mountains is really something that cannot be justified

    "Don't worry about that, Ziyu said things are complicated here, let's not ask we just need to find out where that ancestral hall is." Fearing that a certain loli would meddle in the matter, You Xi also spoke out to remind the other girl.

Although this girl had a lot of strange abilities now, out of selfishness, Yuhi was still reluctant to let Erolu get involved in those troubles especially this kind of problems that seemed to have accumulated over a long period of time.

"Oh... responded perfunctorily, but in fact Her Highness the Demon King had no intention of getting involved in it in the first place, it was purely a spiteful comment. After all, Erolu wasn't really the warm-hearted, good old-fashioned type. While she wasn't good at saying no and would be ...... obliged, that was all based on the premise that others asked her.

    So unless it involved someone close to her, she, who was afraid of trouble and loved to fish, usually stayed as far away from such trouble as she could.

    "The most respected old man in the village, the one with the door ring made of copper, oh there." Following the information provided by Ziyu, Yuhi quickly found a house that fit the bill and hurriedly carried her things and led a certain loli over to it.

    Perhaps it was because the people were so simple, or perhaps they were so poor that they had nothing to rob or steal, that there were few houses in the village with locks... After knocking on the door with the brass ring as a greeting, Yuhi took Eroi and gently pushed the door open and went inside.

    Although the outside of the door was in a state of disrepair, the inside was surprisingly neat and clean. Although simple, the furnishings and the immaculate appearance of the house did give it a refreshing feel.

    Although the house is not large, it has an outer and inner hall. There was no one in sight in the outer room or the kitchen, so the old man they needed to visit must be inside.

    The old man they needed to visit must be resting inside.

"I'll talk to you later, so don't say anything", Yuhi said, patting Eru's head gently, knowing that he was afraid of talking to adults and old people.

And since Erolu really didn't have much self-control in her native state, her speech was a bit childish. Although I'm not afraid of Erolu causing any trouble in this regard, I'd rather not let this girl get involved too much just in case.

    "Hello, is anyone there?" Through the outer hall lifted the curtain of the inner hall, Yuhi greeted softly, but still no one was in sight "Strange, is she not here? I thought old people were always at home when they had trouble with their legs?" Looking inside the room, You Xi's head was full of questions, the whole room was only the two of them at the moment

And one of them wasn't even a human being, leaving out a certain loli who was messing around with a sparrow flying down from the roof, so Yuhi was actually the only one here!

    Apart from the two of them and the sparrow, the room was empty, and the quietness of the sparrow's chatter was frankly a bit ominous.

As he listened to the wind blowing across the door beam and the sparrows chattering, goose bumps rose on his back and suddenly Yu Xi realized something was wrong. According to Ziyu, there were only old people and children in the whole village. The old people, you could say, had trouble with their legs and it was normal for them to stay in the house but what about the children?

    Since they entered the village, there hadn't been a single person in sight, and in the middle of the afternoon, there wasn't a single person outside the village.

    The outside was run down, but there were signs that someone had taken care of it, or at least someone had lived here recently. If everyone had really moved out, then surely the animals on this hill would have taken over the place too, right?

    "Lu-chan, I don't think so. It's not a good idea to stay here for long." Yuuhi took Erohi's hand, intending to hurry out of this place of right and wrong, but Erohi pulled him by the opposite hand.

"The fruit stays here for now..." as Yuuhi looked puzzled, Her Highness the Demon King reached out and pointed to the gift Yuhi was holding. "There's no one here, what's the point of leaving it here?"

    "Listen to me, leave the fruits and all this here first ...." The little devil king shook her head and repeated what she had just said.

    "Then we will see that old man later, take what visit to inquire? And leave it here people do not know that we gave it," said the mouth, but Yu Xi still obediently put the things on the floor of the inner hall after all, the wife's words can not disobey ah.

"Well, hurry up and set it down" Yuhi had just put his things down when Erolu suddenly threw out the words, then pulled him up and quickly ran towards the door. "So what the hell is going on? I don't get it!" After running out the door, Yuhi also threw a series of questions at Erolu. "Are you sensing something? Does this place have something to do with the demons or something? So we're in the right place?"

Although he sensed that something was wrong, Erolu's series of actions really confused Yuuhi, and to be honest, if it wasn't for the demon king around him, Yuuhi would have thought he was in a ghost movie.

    There can't be anything unclean in this house, can there? Which is more fierce, the ghost or the demon?

"Ziyu didn't tell you, but he did tell me..." the little devil patted You Xi on the back, indicating that everything was fine.

    "There are some things I can't tell you either~ because this village only has old people and children, and you don't count as either of those categories."
