Jenny glanced at Henry with the corner of her eye and found that something was wrong with Henry's face. She asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No." Henry shook his head. "There's something wrong with this village."
"Something's wrong?" Jenny was confused. "I don't feel anything wrong?"
"You can't tell." Henry didn't explain further.
Any normal man, not to mention whether this man had evil intentions or not, when he saw a beauty like Jenny, he would look at her more, including Henry himself. However, the young man just now did not have any special expression after seeing Jenny. When he looked at Jenny, he seemed to be...
Henry didn't know how to describe the meaning in the young man's eyes.
The car drove all the way into Li's Village. The head of Li's Village lived in the innermost position of the village. Along the way, Henry and Jenny met a lot of people who stopped the car and asked about their visit. It was really as rigorous in TV dramas when people were entering the palace.
The road of a few kilometres, because of the layers of inspections, Jenny drove for nearly twenty minutes, and the two people came to the place where the village chieftain of Li's Village lived.
The house where the village chieftain lived was behind a thick wall, and the wall was not high, about 1.8 meters. Henry could see the scene inside the wall if he stood on his tiptoes. There was a simple house in the wall, and the tiles on the roof symbolized the old age of this house.
"You two, stop there. The chieftain is worshipping our ancestors. Please wait for a moment." Outside the wall, a young woman stopped the car.
Henry glanced at the young woman subconsciously. She was dressed in ordinary clothes and her appearance was ordinary, but she gave Henry a feeling that she was not that ordinary.
Henry looked at Jenny and found that Jenny was also staring at this young woman non-stop. Just because of her temperament, she seemed ethereal, giving people a sense of being detached from the mortal world.
The young woman saw that both of them were staring at her, and a proud look appeared on her face. She snapped, "If you look again, I’ll dig out your eyeballs!"
Henry frowned. He had heard of the Li family's overbearing power in the morning, but he didn't expect that it had reached such a level.
Henry was just about to speak when he heard an old voice coming from the wall.
"Let them in."
Hearing the voice, the young woman who used to be overbearing immediately stood up straight and lowered her head. "Yes, patriarch."
After the young woman finished speaking, she looked at Henry and Jenny and said unhappily, "Go in! Be careful, don't look at anything that you shouldn’t!"
Jenny pulled Henry's sleeve and walked toward the gate of the wall.
It was an old wooden door. Many parts of the door had been broken, and the boards had been nailed instead of those parts.
When Henry pushed the wooden door, there was a creaking sound, and the door was teetering.
The yard was not big. There was an old locust tree in the yard. Under the locust tree, there was a wooden table and a few wooden chairs. They were all very old.
An old man with grey hair and a slim figure was sitting on a wooden chair, and the table had been filled with tea.
When Henry entered in, he smelled a faint fragrance in the air.
