All three sensed something was amiss.
Normally, given their status, arriving here would at least warrant a welcoming reception, if not a grand one—definitely not these expressions.
But Lin Yi quickly realized something was off.
These looks in their eyes, he had seen them yesterday upon visiting the village!
Only they weren't as intense!
Instinctively, Lin Yi felt that there was something complicated at play!
"What are you doing here, get the hell out, you harbingers of doom!"
Just as the trio was stunned, a middle-aged woman suddenly burst out from the crowd, pointing at their noses and cursing loudly.
Lin Yi had some recollection of the cursing woman; she was the village chief Li Baolong's wife and the deceased Song Guofu's sister, Song Shulan.
Before the three could react, another woman charged at them.
She appeared a bit older than Song Shulan and dressed simply, resembling a local villager.
