Chapter 1188

Li Yue was about to ask something further, but the uncle had already walked aside with his farming tools.

Although Li Yue felt a bit curious, under these circumstances, he did not pay much attention.

Glancing at the steamed bun in his hand without further thought, he casually picked it up, put it in his mouth, and began to eat.

In a few quick bites, the steamed bun in his hand was entirely gone into his stomach.

Afterwards, Li Yue took a step, preparing to enter the village to see the situation.

However, before that, it would be better to dress himself up to look slightly more human.

Li Yue's gaze fell upon a small river not far from the village's outer perimeter.

With a splash, he jumped right in on the spot.

Following that, he simply washed his body; as the stream water washed over him, the mud on Li Yue's body was washed away.

In that instant, the whole person became much fresher.

At this moment, Li Yue did not think much of it; he took his steps and intended to enter the village.

The village had just woken up, and many households had raised cooking smoke.

Many people saw Li Yue, but they did not take him seriously.

They merely treated him as a wanderer who had happened to arrive here.

Li Yue glanced casually, his gaze turning toward an old man.

"Old man, I want to ask you, do you know which direction to go to find the nearby Allied Army base?"

Upon hearing this, the old man's face underwent a huge change at that very moment.

"What!? You want to go find the Allied Army!? Young man, what is wrong with you? Quick, quick, quick, don't go; go back to where you came from."

Li Yue was extremely curious.

He was starting to not understand what was going on in this village.

Why was everyone afraid of the existence of the Allied Army?

Just as Li Yue was about to speak, a sound of horse hooves came from the distance at that moment.

Almost simultaneously, every household hurriedly closed their doors tight.

Even Li Yue was pulled into a room by the old man.

"Young man, come in quickly and hide; absolutely do not let the Allied Army people see you, or you will be in trouble."

The old man repeatedly urged him, saying absolutely do not let the people outside see him.

Li Yue did not understand what exactly had happened, but he still decided to investigate the specific situation first.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves stopped.

A leader-looking person immediately instructed his subordinates beside him: "Search for me; after searching this village, go to the next one. Quick."

"Yes!"

Accompanying the words spoken in unison by several people, several soldiers responded in chorus.

Following that, one by one, they roughly kicked open the villagers' doors and rummaged through everything inside the houses.

If some villagers refused, they would use force to beat them; beating people half to death, and the goods were snatched away.

At this moment, a soldier walked to the old man's doorway, just like the other households.

He broke in, then his gaze turned toward the old man inside the room.

At this time, Li Yue had been arranged by the old man to hide in a haystack.

And Li Yue was also watching everything that happened with full concentration.

In his line of sight, the soldier's gaze swept over a rice jar; without saying a word, he walked toward the rice jar.

Opening it to look, he discovered there was still half a bag of rice inside; immediately, he was overjoyed.

Without saying a word, he prepared to take it away.

The old man cried out repeatedly: "Military lord, military lord, have mercy; these grains are for my grandson. He is still young; if there is no food, he will starve to death."

"Get lost! Do you know that if we starve to death, then once the Demon Clan invades, those who die will not only be you, but the entire races of the Saint Na Continent."

"If you dare to hold onto me again, do not blame me for being unkind."

The old man did not let go; he just kept begging repeatedly.
