The strangeness came, I was forced to become a martial arts master

The moonlight is bright, covering the field with a layer of silver, and the summer night wind blows, startling the sound of frogs, adding a little vitality.

Chu Nan and the others have searched here several times, but there is no trace of the scarecrow at all.

Mu Pengfei and others also found the field, but they also looked like they found nothing.

"Can you find the scarecrow?" Miao Qi asked Chu Nan and the others.

"I never found it." Zheng Yue'e replied.

Afterwards, the group of people fell into silence. It was already Yin time, and it was not long before dawn.

"Is there anything else we haven't looked for?" Yan Lin asked, following Chu Nan.

"I've searched the streets and fields. If I haven't found them, I haven't found them in those houses." Zheng Yue'e replied.

"Then let's search the house." Chu Nan decided resolutely. If the task is not completed before dawn, he may encounter strange rules and die without knowing how.

Mu Pengfei and the others had no other opinions, and tacitly separated from Chu Nan and his party. Chu Nan and the others searched the east of the village, and they searched the west of the village.

As the search progressed, Chu Nan's heart became more and more heavy.

"Uncle Chu, you are right. It seems that no one has lived in these houses for a long time." Yan Lin said in fear.

They have already searched several houses. These houses are covered with ashes, and there are unfinished food on the stove in some houses, but they are all moldy. It is obvious that the owner of the house left in a hurry. Too late to clean up.

An hour later, the three of Chu Nan and Mu Pengfei and the others met up.

"Did you find anything?" Miao Qi asked.

"No, these houses in the east have been vacant for a long time, no one lives at all, and no scarecrows were found." Zheng Yue'e replied.

"Our side is also the same. It seems that there are no living people in the whole village." Miao Qi's face was heavy.

Everyone was silent, so far, it seemed to be in a dead end.

"Junior Brother Hu, what is that in your hand?" Zheng Yuee asked, pointing at Junior Brother Hu.

Everyone looked over and saw that Junior Brother Hu was holding a yellow bamboo hat.

"I found this in a room. Didn't the grandson of the village chief say that the scarecrow was wearing a yellow hat? So I took it here."

Junior Brother Hu held up the bamboo hat in his hand for everyone to see.

From the appearance point of view, this is an ordinary bamboo hat, and there is nothing special about it.

"Did the scarecrow not be found in the room where the bamboo hat was found?" Zheng Yue'e asked aloud.

"No, Junior Brother Wang and I searched many times, but found nothing else." Junior Brother Hu said, and glanced at another disciple beside him.

Junior Brother Wang nodded and said that there were no other discoveries.

At this time, Chu Nan secretly looked at the bamboo hat and searched it with the system.

【search】

[Polluted hat (can be purified): if you wear it, some strange things may happen]

Chu Nan's heart tightened, could it be...

"It's going to be daylight soon. What if the Scarecrow can't be found?"

Mu Pengfei said anxiously, the rules are weird, if you violate its rules, even if you are a master of the innate realm, it will be difficult to get out completely.

"Perhaps, I already know where the scarecrow is." Chu Nan said.

"Oh? Where? Let's find it quickly!" Mu Pengfei said anxiously.

Chu Nan stared at the bamboo hat in Junior Brother Hu's hand, and said, "The scarecrow is here with us."

After Chu Nan finished speaking, the others looked at each other and looked around, but they didn't see any scarecrows.

"The scarecrow is with us? Why didn't I see it?" Mu Pengfei asked suspiciously.

Chu Nan pulled the two girls beside him, took a step back, and said, "There is something wrong with this bamboo hat. Maybe whoever wears it will become a scarecrow."

Chu Nan gave this inference based on the system's prompt.

As soon as Chu Nan finished speaking, everyone stared at the bamboo hat in Junior Brother Hu's hand, and Junior Brother Hu was so frightened that he threw the bamboo hat out in fright.

"How did you know that there is something wrong with this bamboo hat?" Mu Pengfei covered his chin with his hands, wondering why he couldn't see anything different about this bamboo hat.

"We searched the whole village, and we didn't see any scarecrows except this bamboo hat." Chu Nan explained that there were some things she didn't want to do, so she had to explain them to Mu Pengfei, maybe they would do it.

"As for the reminder given by the grandson of the village, the scarecrow wearing a bamboo hat. Since the scarecrow can't be found, the problem can only be the bamboo hat. Of course, I'm just guessing. If you don't believe me, you can try wearing it."

It was almost dawn, and after Chu Nan conjectured, it would depend on what Mu Pengfei and the others did.

After Mu Pengfei thought for a while, he said:
"Who among you tried wearing this bamboo hat? I don't believe what he said is true!"

Everyone look at me, I look at you, no one is willing to try wearing this bamboo hat.

Mu Pengfei took a few glances at Junior Brother Hu and Junior Brother Wang, making their skin crawl. Fortunately, he quickly turned his attention to Chu Nan and the other three.

"Try to put it on." Mu Pengfei pointed to Chu Nan and the others.

"Why should we wear them?" Yan Lin retorted out loud.

"It was proposed by you, of course I want you to try it." Mu Pengfei said with a wicked smile.

"I'm afraid it will disappoint you. The three of us won't try." Chu Nan said while protecting Zheng Yue'e and Yan Lin.

"Don't think that you are great just because you received my palm before. I am a swordsman, and fists are not my forte."

As Mu Pengfei said, he drew out his saber, which was a Japanese sword with a thin and long blade.

Chu Nan also wanted to say that she was the best at wielding a knife, but her hatchet was gone, and she couldn't perform the three moves of the hatchet. Facing Mu Pengfei who was holding a knife, she was really not sure that she could win.

"Village head?!" Chu Nan yelled suddenly behind Mu Pengfei, and Mu Pengfei and others turned their heads in surprise, but there was no one behind Mu Pengfei!

"No, it's a trick!" Mu Pengfei and the others came to their senses, and Chu Nan had already started the Moon Shadow Step and left with the two girls.

After the three of Chu Nan left, a cock crowed, indicating that it was almost dawn.

Chu Nan took the two girls back to the previous residence, took a rest, and the three of them quietly waited for the dawn.

Chu Nan was sitting on the bed, and she made the hole in the window wider so that she could see the situation outside the house.

Zheng Yue'e leaned beside her, just sitting together quietly.

On the other hand, Yan Lin was restless, getting up and walking for a while, and going to bed again for a while, she still couldn't help asking:
"Uncle Chu, what will happen to us if the task cannot be completed?"

"It is likely to die." Chu Nan said lightly.

"Then you are not afraid of death?"

"afraid."

"Then why are you still so calm?"

"Because I know that we will not die." Chu Nan said firmly.
