"No matter what the situation is, what we need to do now is to find a place to stay temporarily and then inquire about the news."

Chu Nanxing has completely become the backbone of the team at this time.

Under his arrangement, everyone quickly found a place to live.

Chu Nanxing stopped by where he lived to find out if a large number of people had come nearby at any time and what happened?
After all, although the Special Affairs Office is located deep in the mountains and old forests, there are still several villages at the foot of the nearby mountains, and the people in the villages get along quite well with the people in the Office.

If outsiders really come here during this period, they must have discovered something.

Chu Nanxing now has no other information channels, so he can only place his hopes on these villagers.

"Old man, do you know if any strangers have come to the mountain these days?"

The old man in the village was obviously surprised to see Chu Nanxing.

But after hearing Chu Nanxing's question, his face changed slightly, as if he was a little scared and a little at a loss, as if he had seen some incredible scene.

"Girl, tell the old man, what do you do? You stay on the mountain all day and don't interact with people much. What do you do for a living?"

Naturally, Chu Nanxing couldn't tell the old man in front of him the real situation of the Special Affairs Department.

The old man in front of him was obviously an ordinary person with no special powers at all.

If you know too much, you can easily attract some monsters, and then the old man and his family will be in danger.

Chu Nanxing didn't want to involve other innocent people in these things.

"Old man, why do you suddenly have such a problem? We were just hunting in the mountains, planting trees and so on!"

"Hunting? Planting trees?"

The old man didn't believe Chu Nanxing's words at all, so he couldn't help but raise his voice, "Girl, do you think I'm stupid when you say these things?"

"The superiors have long stopped allowing casual hunting and tree planting. If you were really hunting and planting trees up there, you would have been arrested long ago. How could you stand in front of me and say these things to lie to me!"

"Girl, just have a heart-to-heart talk with the old man. What are you doing in the woods?"

"A few days ago, a lot of people came to this forest, and we were all frightened. We get along well with you on weekdays, but it wouldn't make sense if you harmed us because of your affairs!"

Sure enough, many strangers came here some time ago!

Chu Nanxing got a definite answer from the old man's words.

"Old man, when did you come here? Can someone from outside tell me?"

"Girl, you are hiding all the information from me, and you still want to get information from me, the old man. It's a little unkind!"

The old man glanced at Chu Nanxing and continued, "Old man, I am not a fool. Either you tell me the information you know and I will exchange it with you, or you stop asking and I won't tell you anything. "

After saying this, the old man was really as silent as he said.

No matter what Chu Nanxing asked, everyone looked confused, shook their heads, or kept silent.In desperation, Chu Nanxing could only reveal a little insignificant information.

Seeing the change in Chu Nanxing's attitude, the old man was naturally very satisfied.

"That's right, you tell me the information you know, and then I can reciprocate the information I know by telling you. You can't just ask for information from me. You can't reveal anything!"

The old man knocked the pipe in his hand, sighed, and said, "Some people came to our village about a week ago."

"They were a group of people who were chattering. They were all wearing huge robes, and their faces were hidden under the robes. Old man, I couldn't see clearly what they looked like."

"There were a few daring children in the village who came over to see what these people's faces looked like under their robes, but they immediately chased them away."

"They only stayed in the village for one night and entered the forest early the next morning. They did not say what they were going to do. But on the afternoon of the next day, several people rushed out from the northeast corner of the forest. Their whereabouts Very embarrassed.”

"I haven't seen anyone come down from this forest since that day, and I don't know what the scene is like."

After hearing what the old man said, Chu Nanxing felt more and more nervous.

She couldn't even tell whether Feng Jingmo was among those who escaped, and she didn't know what would happen to those who didn't escape.

She couldn't even tell from the old man's words the identities of the people who entered the mountain. She only knew that they were wearing black robes.

But black robes are very common. Not to mention other things, he has seen a lot of people wearing black robes during this period.

There is no way to confirm what I want to know just by relying on this bit of information revealed by the old man.

Chu Nanxing frowned and looked at the old man and asked, "Then have you heard those people talking and can you tell where they are from?"

Many cultivators' schools have fixed locations, and you may be able to judge them from their accents.

"Oh, little girl, aren't you making things difficult for my old man?"

The old man looked embarrassed and said helplessly, "I am just a helpless old man. I have a big family at home. How can I dare to go up and inquire about other people's news?"

"I'll tell you the truth, after those men in black robes came to the village, every household of ours hid in our homes and didn't dare to communicate with them at all. The village chief only said a few words to them. But I didn’t say much.”

"I advise you to give up asking for information about them, otherwise you may be in danger. No one knows where those people come from, but just looking at their appearance, I'm afraid..."

The old man sighed as he spoke, not knowing why he was worried.

Chu Nanxing did not continue chatting with the old man, but instead asked, "Can you tell me the position of the village chief of your village? I want to talk to the village chief!"

There is nothing worth hiding about this kind of thing.

The old man immediately pointed to the red brick house in the easternmost corner of the village.

"The village chief is the richest in our village, and he lives in the best house in the village, which is the red brick house with a very large area in the east."

"At this time, there should be someone at the village chief's house. If you go there, you should be able to meet the village chief's family, but the village chief may not be at home. You can try your luck, but if you want to inquire about those people in black robes I’m afraid the village chief won’t know too much about the news.”
