They walked slowly into the village. It was not a big village with only a few dozen families. Each family had one or two stone houses. The houses were not very big. The first family had a small stone courtyard. The walls of the courtyard were made of stone and wood. They were not very high. Standing in their own courtyards, they could talk to their neighbors. It could be seen that this was a very peaceful but also very poor village.
After walking for a short while, they found a small square in the village. This small square might have been used for sacrificial offerings because in the middle of the square, there was a very tall pillar. This pillar was made of wood and was about one meter in diameter. There were some strange patterns drawn on it. These patterns were all in the shape of ferocious demon beasts. On the top of this pillar, which was about ten meters tall, there was a huge Tiger's head pattern. This Tiger's head was majestic and imposing.
