Yesterday we got lost and walked thousands of miles before we found the bus stop is an example of hyperbole. Hyperbole is when you make an exaggerated statement that you don't intend your audience to take literally.

What is the adverb in the sentence yesterday Nick visited and old village?

The words 'Yesterday Nick visited and old village' is NOT a grammatically correct sentence for two reasons. First, the word 'and' is a connecting word to make a compound subject, compound verb, or compound sentence. Instead of 'and' in your sentence, you need one of three words: a, an, or the. Those three words are called articles of speech and come before nouns. Second, you need a comma after Yesterday. Note: you use 'an' before words beginning with a vowel.So the sentence should read:Yesterday, Nick visited an old village. (or the old village)Yesterday is an adverb.Nick is the nounan old village is the object phrasean is an articleold is an adjective modifying villagevillage is the object.You can also write the sentence: Nick visited an old village yesterday.
