Village Problems [2]

"Welcome, travelers to our humble village. I hope we haven't bothered you too much." The elderly woman said softly, inviting them to sit across from her.

There was hardly any furniture in the room, with the small table in front of the woman being the centerpiece, but Damien had no problem with this. He went and sat on one of the cushions surrounding the table while Ruyue followed suit, sitting down next to him.

Ling'er and Yan Cheng did the same, sitting on the opposite side of them. 

"Nice to meet you," Damien said, "my name is Zhen Fang and this is my wife, Xiao Li." 

The old woman nodded without much thought. "No need for a reintroduction, as I have heard it the first time. As for me, you can simply call me Elder Baba." 

Damien raised his brow questioningly, wondering how she could have heard it when they had introduced themselves far from the village, but he suppressed his doubts. It was already evident that something strange was going on here.
