Their gazes swept over with immense pressure. The father and son could feel that the eyes of the villagers of Oriole Village were very turbid. Their hard expressions were like dead wood, and their eyes were like holes dug out of dead wood, dark and lifeless.
Shen Yifeng frowned. The feeling of being stared at by a group of expressionless people was really uncomfortable!
“Feng’er, pretend that nothing happened. Continue walking.” Seeing that the villagers were only looking at them and didn’t do anything else, Shen Liu’an lowered his voice and whispered in Shen Yifeng’s ear.
With Shen Liu’an on his back, Shen Yifeng nodded and continued walking forward.
With every step they took, the villagers would catch up to them.
Every family was either standing on the street or at the window. They stared at them through the window, their eyes following the footsteps of the father and son.
Shen Yifeng’s forehead started to sweat until Village Chief Huang’s voice suddenly sounded behind him.
“Lord Shen, I saw that you guys seemed to have returned from the mountains just now. Why didn’t you tell us before going up the mountain?”
The father and son turned around at the same time and saw Village Chief Huang and Huang Xing’er standing behind them.
The father and daughter had fake smiles on their faces. It was unknown where they had come from.
“Aiya, General Shen, why are you injured?” Huang Xing’er’s gaze landed on the area where Shen Liu’an was injured. Her overly concerned expression was a little exaggerated.
Shen Liu’an and Shen Yifeng quickly exchanged glances.
Shen Liu’an said indifferently, “We just encountered that evil cat demon and chased it all the way into the mountain. Unexpectedly, the other party was too cunning. Not only did he escape, but he also stabbed me before he ran.”
Village Chief Huang looked enlightened. His originally tense shoulders seemed to have relaxed. “Thank you for your hard work! Please go back and rest first. We ll get the doctor to prescribe medicine and send it over with lunch.”
“Thank you, Village Chief. I’ll take my father back first.” Shen Yifeng nodded politely and strode away with Shen Liu’an on his back.
As soon as the father and son left, Village Chief Huang’s expression changed. His turbid eyes revealed a cold expression.
The other villagers came forward.
“Father, according to the intel, Shen Liu’an went out with his two sons, but only Shen Yifeng came back with him. Shen Yuyan is missing,” Huang Xing’er said as she raised her hand to adjust the hairpin in her hair.
“Don’t worry about Shen Yuyan. The Mountain God said that he’s our compatriot. He wouldn’t dare to betray the Mountain God. However, I didn’t expect them to break into the cave. That’s our nest, and if we expose it, something big will happen. The cat demon didn’t cause General Shen’s injury just now!” Village Chief Huang gritted his teeth, his face becoming more and more serious.
“Then aren’t we already exposed? Then we can’t keep this father and son!” The butcher in the village was advanced and had already pulled out the dagger at his waist.
“Look at how anxious you are! What if they were accidentally lured to the cave by the cat demons? Then they will only associate the things in the cave with the cat demons. Once we make a move, won’t we be exposing what one intended to hide?” Village Chief Huang glared at the butcher.
“He’s a man after all, and he’s too rough. He only knows how to use force to solve problems.” Huang Xing’er smiled brightly. ��In my opinion, we should wait until tonight to ask the Mountain God and see what orders he has. If that father and son are really in the way, it won’t be too late to attack then.”
Seeing Huang Xing’er looking in the direction of the Mountain God Temple with admiration, the others present also looked over. Without exception, their eyes were filled with fanaticism.
At the same time, in the Mountain God Temple.
Shen Yuyan held his blood-stained sword, walked to the statue of the Mountain God, and knelt down. “Greetings, Lord Mountain God..”
