Xu Xiaoyou watched the direction where the girl had left, thinking that the girl seemed like she wanted to say something to them.
After shaking her head, she and Tang Xin caught up with the crowd and soon arrived at the village elder's house. It was a stilt house built along a slope, with no walls underneath, entirely suspended in mid-air, with wooden posts deeply set into the slope. Despite the gradient, the wooden posts still supported the entire building well. Besides good ventilation, this structure was mainly to reduce the intrusion of wild beasts and reptiles in the snowy plains.
The slope was concealed among the woods, casting layers of shadows. Looking down, the vegetation at the bottom of the slope was still relatively dense, with yellowish-green weeds covered by a thin layer of snow, bending them with the weight.
