Chapter 4152: The Rat Family in the Village

"Yes, I think so too."

Miss Ya Ling nodded in agreement, and she admired Ye Feng more and more.

"I think next, we should look for clues to pass the test in the village. As for what that thing is, I don't know."

Ye Feng shook his head slowly. Although he thought of many problems, he couldn't think of the key to passing the test.

"Let's act separately and meet again here before night falls."

Miss Ya Ling spoke calmly. She couldn't think of what the key to passing the test was, but the two of them would have a better chance if they searched separately.

"Okay."

Ye Feng and Miss Ya Ling looked at each other and said, "Be careful."

After that, Ye Feng turned and left. Miss Ya Ling looked at Ye Feng twice and turned and left.

The village looks small, but it is actually very large. Ye Feng and Miss Ya Ling ran non-stop last night, but they only ran around the village twice. The actual area of ​​​​the village is comparable to a big city.

Ye Feng searched in the village. He jumped into every courtyard he passed by to check it out, but these courtyards were ordinary people, but because no one had lived in them for a long time, they were already a little deserted.

After searching for a while, Ye Feng found nothing. The sun had risen to the sky and it was noon now.

"There is still an afternoon."

Ye Feng squinted at the sun and continued to search. After an hour, he came to a luxuriously decorated courtyard.

This courtyard is much larger than other courtyards in the village. It should be the residence of a very prestigious person in the village, probably a landlord or a village master.

Ye Feng did not hesitate and pushed the door open. He saw a rockery pond in the courtyard. The water in the pond had dried up, revealing cracked soil and decayed lotus flowers.

Ye Feng continued to go deeper and came to a lobby. The door of the lobby was half open. You can see the eight-immortal table and mahogany chairs inside, which are all valuable furniture.

"Creaky."

Ye Feng pushed open the door that had been abandoned for a long time. A cloud of dust was raised in the lobby, so the furniture was covered with a layer of dust. After searching carefully in the lobby for a while, Ye Feng did not gain much, only found a few holes in the corner of the wall.

The hole was big, like a dog hole. Just because it was in the house, it was hard to figure out what the hole was used for.

Afterwards, Ye Feng walked out of the lobby and searched the backyard. He found a waiting hall, which was full of holes the size of dog holes and a lot of animal feces the size of red beans.

In the waiting hall, the ancestral tablets of the owner of the compound were enshrined, but most of these tablets were eaten by unknown creatures, leaving deep grooves, and the names recorded on them could not be seen clearly. Ye Feng only judged from these gnaw marks that the tablets were eaten by rats, and they were big rats.

"Big rat..."

Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat, thinking of the giant rat that chased him last night. He looked at the animal feces on the ground and immediately determined that it was rat feces.

"The rats that gnawed the tablets and left feces are big, but they are not as big as giant rats. Is there any connection between them?"

Ye Feng narrowed his eyes and thought carefully. The other courtyards in the village are completely different from the courtyard he is in now. Now this courtyard is excellent in decoration, area, and location, and it is incompatible with those dilapidated courtyards.

"There is something wrong with this courtyard..."

Ye Feng thought carefully and turned the courtyard upside down, but still did not gain anything. Finally, he returned to the waiting hall.

"Bang!"

Ye Feng stomped on the big hole in the waiting hall, and saw that the cave collapsed, revealing a long tunnel, and a wooden sign could be vaguely seen in the depths of the tunnel.

"This is..."

Ye Feng narrowed his eyes and kept dismantling the tunnel. Finally, he took out the wooden sign. He saw that it was also a tablet, and the name on it was very clear and had not been gnawed.

"The eldest young master of the Rat family, Rat Tianzheng."

"What does this mean?"

Ye Feng frowned. The surname Rat reminded him of something, but he didn't dare to confirm it.

After thinking for a while, Ye Feng stepped out of the courtyard. The sky was gradually getting dark, and the sun was about to set. It was time for him to meet up with Ya Ling.

Ye Feng returned to the meeting place they had agreed on. Not long after, he saw Ya Ling holding a tablet in his hand and walking from not far away.

"Huh? You have one too?"

Miss Ya Ling came to Ye Feng and looked at the tablet in Ye Feng's hand in surprise.

"The problem should be here."

Ye Feng nodded slightly, his eyes fell on the tablet in Miss Ya Ling's hand, which read the second young master of the Rat family, Rat Tianyi.

"This should be related to the big rat."

Miss Ya Ling's eyes flashed, she had caught a glimpse of the truth, the truth about this strange village, but the guesses in her mind could not be connected into a line.

"Where are you going?"

Ye Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

"It looks like a government office, but there shouldn't be a government office in the village. I guess it was built by the village head without authorization."

Miss Ya Ling said.

Hearing this, Ye Feng's heart moved. The head of the village is the most important official in the village, a position similar to that of the village chief.

Miss Ya Ling found a tablet of the ancestor of the Rat family in the yamen built by the head of the village without authorization, and she found a tablet in the largest courtyard in the village, which should be the landlord's house.

Thinking carefully, although the landlord and the head of the village are not big figures, for the villagers, it can be regarded as collusion between officials and gentry. The combination of these two forces may make the villagers unable to resist.

"The two highest-ranking people in the village are brothers..."

Ye Feng narrowed his eyes. The village was deserted, with only a giant rat. The landlord and the village head were both related to the giant rat. This...

"The giant rat is likely to be raised by them!"

Ye Feng looked serious and said to Miss Ya Ling.

"I have this guess, but it doesn't matter."

Miss Ya Ling shook her head, "Even if the giant rat is really raised by the head and the landlord, so what? This news is not helpful to us."

"The most important thing is to think clearly about how to deal with this giant rat. If we don't kill it, we may be trapped in this secret test."

Hearing this, Ye Feng was silent. Miss Ya Ling was right. What was important was not the origin of the giant rat, but how to kill it.

"But is it really useless to know this information..."

Ye Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Miss Ya Ling seriously and said, "Do you know what the landlord and the headman look like?"

"I only saw the tablets. This village is deserted. Who can know what they look like?"

Miss Ya Ling frowned and said, not understanding why Ye Feng asked this question.

"I'll look for it. If I can find it, it may be of some use."

Ye Feng became excited and turned to the direction of the landlord's house.
