Su Li, trailing at the end of the group, spoke up unhappily, immediately drawing the sinister gaze of the young villagers.
Brother Zhao's expression turned frantic, cutting her off sharply, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
The others, under Brother Zhao's cue, also hastily pulled Su Li aside, forbidding her from speaking recklessly.
"You all came here anyway, we can't let you leave empty-handed. Our village is known for its hospitality. Come with me; we'll go to Fourth Aunt's house for a meal, spend the night, and leave tomorrow."
The young villager obviously had issues; real travelers encountering someone like this would surely need to weigh things carefully.
No wandering off, nor were they allowed to leave.
By the look in his eyes, it seemed he would tear them apart alive if they didn't follow his instructions.
"Ugh, in this poor and remote place, what do you have to offer us? It's not fun, I want to go back."
