Su Fei gently pushed Hu Guangnian's hand away and said firmly.
"Village Chief Hu, we also want to stay here for a few more days, but Demon Suppression Bureau's urgent mission, we Ninth Barracks cannot violate it.
"Moreover, the demon has not moved at all in the past fifteen days, which is enough to prove that it has left. As long as you pay more attention to it on weekdays and try not to go out late at night, there will be no problem."
Hu Guangnian wanted to persuade him again, but seeing Su Fei's firm look, he knew that it would be useless to talk about this matter, so he could only sigh helplessly, with a bit of loss and worry on his face.
"If that's the case, then I won't keep Centurion Su. It's been really hard on you these days. If it weren't for you, we Hu Family Village wouldn't have known how long we would have been harmed by demons. I will tell the villagers right now and let them thank you."
Su Fei shook his head slightly.
"No need to bother. It is our duty as Demon Suppression Guard to protect the villagers and kill the monsters."
"We will set off today. If Hu Family Village has another demon causing trouble, you can go to the imperial city immediately and report to the Demon Suppression Bureau. Demon Suppression Guard will come to encircle and suppress the demon."
Faced with this situation, the village chief Hu Family Village had no choice but to nod his head, his eyes full of gratitude and reluctance.
"Okay, okay, I will remember your words, Centurion Su, two adults, take care of yourself along the way. I will go and inform the villagers right away."
With that said, Hu Guangnian turned around hurriedly and walked outside the house, shouting loudly as he walked, telling the villagers that Demon Suppression Guard was leaving and that the demon had been driven away.
Su Fei stood at the door, looking at Hu Guangnian's retreating back with a thoughtful look on his face.
Then Su Fei withdrew his gaze and turned to wink at Hu Jing and Qiu Xu who were not far behind him. The two understood the situation and immediately turned around and left quickly, heading to various garrison points in the village to summon all Demon Suppression Guard from Ninth Barracks to assemble.
Not long after, more than a hundred Demon Suppression Guard gathered neatly and orderly in the open space outside the village chief's home, in groups of ten, in an orderly queue.
Although these Demon Suppression Guard have been stationed for fifteen days, they are still tall and straight, with a solemn expression.
Su Fei glanced at the Demon Suppression Guard queue and ordered in a calm tone.
"Everyone pack their bags. No need to carry too much stuff. Stay alert. We will set off immediately."
"Yes, I will obey."
All Demon Suppression Guard responded in unison, moved neatly, and organized themselves in a moment. They still maintained a neat queue, waiting for Su Fei's instructions.
At this time, Hu Guangnian had summoned many villagers. The villagers came from their homes and spiritual fields one after another and gathered in front of the village chief's house. They held dry food in their hands and dry goods that they had dried at home. Their faces were full of gratitude and reluctance, and they talked about words of thanks.
"Centurion Su of Demon Suppression Guard, thank you for protecting our Hu Family Village!"
"There are also two adults, Hu Jing and Qiu Xu. Take care along the way. Be sure to come and see Hu Family Village when you have time."
"Thanks to people like you, we can farm with peace of mind. We Hu Family Village will keep this kindness in our hearts."
An elderly man walked forward tremblingly on crutches.
"Centurion Su, thank you for your hard work. If it weren't for you, we old bones would have been harmed by demons long ago. You must take care of yourself and have a safe journey."
Su Fei bowed slightly and said in a gentle tone.
"Don't worry, old man, it is our Demon Suppression Guard's duty to kill the demons."
Hu Jing and Qiu Xu stood aside, nodding slightly to the villagers, with gentle expressions on their faces. They accepted the wishes sent by the villagers one by one and thanked them in a low voice.
Su Fei looked at the enthusiastic villagers in front of him, his heart moved slightly, but he still remained calm and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Fellow folks, there is no need to be polite. It is our duty to protect Hu Family Village and kill demons. From now on, you can farm with peace of mind and try not to go out at night. If anything unusual happens, go to the outskirts of the imperial city as soon as possible and report Demon Suppression Bureau."
After saying that, Su Fei said no more, turned around and got on the horse, Crimson Flame Horse King under his crotch neighed lightly.
"Let's go."
Su Fei gave the order, gently clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and Crimson Flame Horse King took the lead in running towards the entrance of the village.
Hu Jing and Qiu Xu also got on their horses one after another, followed closely behind, and hundreds of Demon Suppression Guard rode on Crimson Flame Horse, forming a neat queue, following closely behind.
The villagers got out of the way one after another, stood on the roadside, waved goodbye, and kept shouting "Take care along the way", their eyes followed the figures of Demon Suppression Guard, full of reluctance.
It wasn't until the figures of the Demon Suppression Guard people gradually faded away and disappeared around the corner of the village entrance that the villagers slowly dispersed, still talking about the kindness of the Demon Suppression Guard people, with their faces full of gratitude.
Although Demon Suppression Guard has left, the villagers will inevitably feel a little regretful. After all, with Su Fei and the other Demon Suppression Guard "patron saints" around, they can truly farm with peace of mind.
But when I think about the past fifteen days, during which Demon Suppression Guard was stationed, no demons appeared and no villagers disappeared, the regret in my heart faded a bit and was replaced by peace of mind.
Many villagers secretly thought that maybe the demon was really forced away by the Demon Suppression Guards and would never return to the Hu Family Villages. In the future, they could finally cultivate their spiritual fields in peace and resume their old lives.
The discussion gradually dissipated, and the villagers put away their reluctance, turned around, carried farm tools, and walked towards their spiritual fields.
The originally bustling village road gradually returned to its former tranquility, with only the footsteps of the villagers heading to the spiritual fields and the occasional laughter coming from the spiritual fields.
Beside the spiritual field at the north end of the village, several villagers said with a smile while digging the soil.
"With Master Demon Suppression Guard guarding us for so long, the demon will definitely not dare to come back. We no longer need to be worried in the future."
"Yes, look at how well these seedlings are growing. We will be able to harvest them in a few months. We, Hu Family Village, will soon be back to their former glory."
Another villager took over the conversation, his face full of longing.
"When the harvest is ready, I have to give my old house a good repair."
In the spiritual field at the east end of the village, the women were sowing seeds and chatting about household chores. Their faces were filled with long-lost smiles, and the fear and uneasiness of the past were no longer there.
The children chased and played on the path beside the spiritual field, and their laughter was clear and reverberated throughout the village, adding a bit of vitality to this newly rejuvenated land.
At this time, Su Fei, who had walked dozens of miles away from Hu Family Village, was reining in his horse and turned to look in the direction of Hu Family Village, his expression not relaxing at all.
Hu Jing Seeing Su Fei stop, he rode forward and asked in a low voice.
"Centurion Su, we have gone a long way. According to your instructions, we will hide in two groups and wait for the demon to appear?"
Su Fei nodded slowly and looked sharply in the direction of Hu Family Village.
