LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 87
"Just kill them all. No one in this deep mountain and old forest will know," another person said.
"No," the one-eyed man shook his head again, "Not to mention that some magic devices are capable of remote communication. If they are really spies from the Principality, the fact that they failed to return on time may lead to our exposure."
After listening, everyone fell into silence again.
"Then... we can only send people to contact them first..." one person said, "But those white-eyed ghosts won't let us enter the village, right?"
"Yes, that's the problem," the one-eyed man sighed, "We are still slow to respond. We should contact them outside the village first."
"Then, how about sneaking in at night?" someone suggested.
"Sneaking into other people's campsites at night?" Another person asked helplessly, "Do you think we are not suspicious enough?"
"Then what do you think we should do?" The man spread his hands.
"I..." The man before was suddenly speechless.
I will raise the bar regardless of the situation, but there is nothing I can do about it.
He could only turn his head and look at the one-eyed man aside.
When the one-eyed man saw this, he smiled and said, "Actually, I don't think we need to go in. If we want to get in touch with them, we can let them come out."
"Let them come out?" one person asked doubtfully, "It makes sense, but what should we do?"
"We don't need to do anything," the one-eyed man shook his head. "I think if they are not just a 'caravan' as we expected, they will come to us soon.
After all, the condition of these white eyes is enough to arouse the curiosity of any outsider. "

As the sun sets, Liu Ji and others' business day ends successfully.
For this small mountain village, the sunset means the end of the day.
Looking at the entire village, there was not even a tavern. At night, everything turned completely black.
In the square, Yuan and the Potato Boys, who had just finished their meal, were lying in a heap.
Yayin rolled a small ball of sunlight and wrote something in the notebook using the light of the ball.
After putting away the cooking utensils and tableware, Liu Ji walked to Yayin while wiping his hands with a towel.
"What do you mean, let's just rest as usual?" Liu Ji sat down cross-legged, "Should we go and find out some information?"
"Anyone is fine, but it's just to inquire about information, but what do you want to inquire about?" Ya Yin asked casually.
"Just, about the women of other races in the village?" Liu Ji said with some uncertainty, "Or about the people of other races outside?"
"Really," Yayin nodded, "But what are you going to do after you inquire?"
"No, I don't want to do anything," Liu Ji scratched his head, "I'm just a little curious..."
"Then it's best not to inquire," Yayin shook her head and said, "You have to know that our main purpose is to hide from the limelight here. If they don't come to trouble us, generally speaking, we should keep a low profile, the better. "
"Hmm... That's true," Liu Ji scratched his chin, "It's just that those foreign women were all sold here... I feel a little bit less comfortable."
"There's nothing you can do about it. They're already here. You can't send them home one by one. Even the local lord can't do this." Yayin sighed, "Besides, you see Here we are, at least they have old injuries and no new injuries, and their complexion seems to be okay. They should be living a good life, and we can't interfere with anything. "
"Well, that's fair to say..." Liu Ji rubbed his chin, "Well, forget it, I'm going to wash my face and go to sleep."
"No, wait a minute," Yayin grabbed Liu Ji and raised the notebook in front of his eyes, "Come on, first correct your wrong questions today before going to bed."

Outside the city gate, a one-eyed man squatted together with a group of young men, putting on a sad face, as if everyone had an exclamation mark on their head.
"Hey, brothers, it's been dark for so long, why haven't they come out yet?" one of them said.
"Don't be anxious, people are not allowed to close the stall first and then come out after settling in?" another person said.
"Oh, that's right..." The man nodded.
After one hour.
"No? Can they get out? My legs are numb from squatting."
"Don't worry, maybe they will inquire about the situation in the village first? Just wait..."
Two hours later.
"Hey, do you think they are too tired when they just arrived here, and they are already asleep?"
"Well...I have to admit, this is a blind spot..."
"Then, how about we go back? Come back tomorrow?"
"No, we have been squatting here for a long time. If we leave and they come out again, wouldn't we be squatting in vain?"
Four hours later.
"..."
"...zzZ"
"Hey, let me ask, are they asleep?"
"zzZ..."
"Hello? Does this mean I'm the only one awake? No! You guys are awake..."
"Bang!"
"Don't make any noise...zzZ..."
The next day, early morning.
"Snapped!"
The one-eyed man felt a slap on his face.
He was about to get up and get angry, but when he opened his eyes, he was dumbfounded.
"Huh? Why am I sleeping here..."
With his head still not clear, he moved away from his companion who was holding him like a stray dog, and looked at the village beside him in confusion.
Then, he saw several villagers carrying baskets, tiptoeing out of the fields.
Their baskets were full of potatoes dug from the fields.
The one-eyed man looked at them, stunned for half a second, and instantly woke up. He jumped up, raised his pitchfork and roared: "Fuck you! You stole my vegetables again! Die!"
The villagers turned pale and ran back to the village, leaving only the one-eyed man at the door pointing at the inside and scolding.

"Um... who is it? It's so noisy early in the morning, as if someone had beaten you," Liu Ji rubbed his eyes and struggled to get half of his body out of the sleeping bag.
He finished those pages of questions last night until midnight, and he was sleepy now. He heard someone quarreling outside, which made him very unhappy.
He looked around.
Ya Yin was sleeping soundly, wearing an eye mask and earplugs, lying in the middle of a circle of magic array, looking like she was going to have a good sleep.
It was not her fault, after all, Liu Ji went to sleep after correcting the questions, and Ya Yin seemed to be still correcting the courseware according to Liu Ji's corrections, and it was unknown what time she went to sleep.
The potato kids were still sleeping, but these kids were not human. They could sleep all the time, but they could wake up at any time if they were called.
Liu Ji got out of his sleeping bag and looked at the village gate from a distance, only to see two groups of people blocking the village gate and cursing at each other.
Those outside were the foreign farmers, cursing and stomping their feet.
Those inside were a group of villagers, cursing and clapping their hands.
Liu Ji blinked, and a question mark slowly appeared on his head.
He thought these foreigners were serfs, but now it seems that this is not the case?
Although he couldn't understand what the two sides were saying, they looked red-faced and thick-necked, so they shouldn't be very civilized.
But even though they were saying it, it seemed that neither side really had any intention of fighting. If you don't go out, I won't come in, so they just stood on both sides of the door and had a fierce verbal fight.
Liu Ji called Yuan and asked him to get up and take the potatoes to prepare to set up the stall. He put on his coat, put his hands in his sleeves, and went to the door to watch the excitement.
Since Liu Ji was not here to make money, they sold things at a relatively low price when they were doing business yesterday, and the villagers were all nice to them. No one said much about him joining in the fun.
But for some reason, when the people outside the village saw Liu Ji appear, they all widened their eyes and cursed more vigorously.
And not only did they curse, some people even shed a few tears when they were excited.
"This, is this being scolded and crying?" Liu Ji was stunned.
Is being scolded and crying considered losing the verbal fight?
And from this moment on, the direction of this verbal fight became strange.
Gradually, the people outside the village went from cursing with red faces to becoming more and more aggrieved and pitiful, and gradually their voices were filled with a tone of grievance and crying.
Moreover, for some reason, their eyes were always on Liu Ji.
On the other hand, the villagers seemed a little overwhelmed. Gradually, they all slowed down their speech, stopped clapping, looked at each other, and finally turned their eyes to Liu Ji.
Liu Ji was stared at by them, with a puzzled look on his face.
He just watched the fun and didn't understand what they were saying. Why were these people staring at him?
It couldn't be that these people outside the village disliked him for only selling things to the villagers and not to them, right?
Then they wouldn't quarrel here so early in the morning for this, and even cried, right?
Liu Ji was confused and felt uncomfortable being stared at by them. He could only step aside and stagger back to the caravan.
However, he turned around and walked a few steps, and suddenly heard the quarrel behind him change.
For some reason, the guys outside suddenly became tough again. After a while, he heard the rhythmic stomping and clapping again.
"This place is really weird," Liu Ji muttered, touched his stomach, felt a little hungry, and decided to go back to the caravan to find some breakfast first.
However, when he looked at the caravan, suddenly, he saw a hand suddenly stretched out from the empty air next to a potato boy.
The hand quickly pulled a leaf on the potato boy's head, and then disappeared in an instant.
Liu Ji blinked.
He rubbed his eyes again.
Then he walked quickly to the side of the potato boy, and in the boy's puzzled eyes, he carefully checked the leaves on his head.
However, no matter how he looked at it, there was no trace of the broken edge left by the missing leaves.
Liu Ji frowned.
What the hell? Was he dazzled just now?
Or did he have some strange hallucinations due to lack of sleep?
136. Two-in-one It's a pity that he was not born in Japan.
Liu Ji felt that he was probably dazzled.
He observed the potato kids for the next few days and found nothing unusual.
Ya Yin was concentrating on setting up a magic array during this time.
The reason they came here to hide was to complete this magic array and then move to another location through this magic array, so that they could completely erase the traces of the two.
It was that this magic array took a lot of time to build. According to Ya Yin, it might take her one or two months.
During this period, we can only pray that the tyrant will not find this place.
Of course, if he has no intention of coming at all, it would be even better.
As Liu Ji and others stayed longer and longer, gradually, more people came to buy things. Although they all brought some prey and crops to barter, they also provided food for Liu Ji and others.
It was just that these days, for some reason, there seemed to be a quarrel at the entrance of the village, and it was noisy all day long.
Although Liu Ji was curious about what they were quarreling about, every time he went there, he would inexplicably become the focus of the whole audience. After going there twice, Liu Ji did not dare to go there anymore.
But he probably figured out one thing.
