proper 是形容词，作后置定语，修饰village。意为：“真正意义上的；本身的；为……的本身”，用作此意时，通常后置，用于名词后。例如：

Greece proper 希腊本国

the Dictionary proper 本词典正文

You can add proper after a word to indicate that you are referring to the central and most important part of a place, event, or object and want to distinguish it from other things which are not regarded as being important or central to it.

By the time I got to the village proper everyone was out to meet me.

【翻译】当我到达村子（中央）时，大家都出来迎接我。

By the time I got to the village proper everyone was out to meet me

proper adj. 严格意义上的；狭义的(英文解释according to the most exact meaning of the word）

The celebrations proper always begin on the last stroke of midnight.

正式庆典总是在午夜钟声的最后一响开始。

备注：proper以上用法需要放在被修饰名词后面。

proper用于名词后面，指的是某物的主体或主要部分

After two day's marching through the foothills,they reached the mountain proper.

他们在山麓中长途跋涉两天以后，才真正地抵达了那座大山。

原文中the village proper或许想表达：当我（刚）到达（进入）村子时，比如刚一进村口，那么我所处的地点属于这个村子的范围区域，所以加了proper。
