Chapter 171 Village Center

The three of them walked in the forest for who knows how long. They didn't leave the forest until they got hungry.

Just when they looked a little depressed, Chu Nanxing vaguely heard some subtle movements not far away.

She decided to take a gamble!
"Let's head there. I heard some noises over there, either people or beasts. It's better than the silence in this forest."

"We don't have any more clues now, so why not take a gamble? What do you think?"

Lian Sheng and Chu Nanyue had no objection to this.

"Now that Sister Nanxing has made arrangements, let's set off in this direction!"

None of the three people like to be hesitant, and they quickly decided to move in the direction where the sound came from.

As they walked, their eyes suddenly opened up, and the light became brighter. They left the originally dim forest behind them, and in front of them was a very large village.

The layout of the village looks a bit strange. The houses are located on the east and west without any rules. Looking at them makes people feel like they want to put the houses in the right place.

Chu Nanxing keenly noticed that there were traces of human life in the house, and there were also subtle sounds. Someone was walking around. It must not be a trap like the previous two villages.

No, that’s not right… The more abnormal the situation, the more likely it is a trap…

In this forest, after several twists and turns and several turns around, Chu Nanxing had long lost his sense of direction.

She couldn't even confirm the name of the village in front of her, who lived in it, and what would happen, so naturally she didn't dare to enter it at will.

She motioned to Chu Nanyue and the two of them to follow her, planning to find a hidden position to observe the living conditions of the people in the village, and to inquire about the news.

Of course, asking for information, this matter needs to wait for Chu Nanxing to confirm the situation of the village before proceeding.

Just as Lian Sheng was about to nod, he saw a familiar figure in the village, that was his Meow Meow.

Lian Sheng couldn't help but stare at Meow Meow not far away with wide eyes, and couldn't help but move his feet.

They were now in a relatively secluded position at the entrance of the village. The house close to the door was very quiet, and they could hear some movement.

Since they can hear the noises made by the people in the village, correspondingly, those people in the village can also hear the noises they create.

Lian Sheng was a little excited when he saw Meow Meow. He couldn't help but move his feet. He accidentally touched the fence next to him and made some small noises, which were heard by the villagers in the house.

The villager is about in his early thirties. Long hours of work have made his skin dark and reflective under the sun.

He frowned and walked towards the direction from which the sound came.

When they noticed several strange figures in the corner of the village entrance, the villagers immediately became vigilant.He picked up the wooden stick that fell on the ground, secretly alert, looked at the people in front of him, and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Naturally, Chu Nanxing would not tell her true purpose, as doing so would cause trouble for herself, so her brain was working rapidly and she quickly made up a reason.

"We were traveling in a nearby town and suddenly fainted. When we woke up, we were in a cave not far away. Then we walked from the cave into the forest and came over when we heard something moving here."

It is said that the best lie is a mixture of truth and falsehood. Chu Nanxing has obviously captured the essence of lying. What he said is true and false, making it difficult to distinguish.

The villager in front of her didn't understand Chu Nanxing's character to begin with. After going through a lot of things, her acting skills were exceptionally outstanding, and her words and deeds couldn't be felt to be fake at all.The villager in front of him really believed what Chu Nanxing said.

His hand holding the stick couldn't help but loosen a little, and the stick fell from his hand to the ground with a muffled sound.

"I didn't expect there to be such people. Why don't you stay in our village temporarily for a while, but remember not to go to the middle of the village. There are a few outsiders living there, and they have a bad temper."

Chu Nanxing originally planned to find a suitable reason for their whereabouts and had no intention of staying here. However, she didn't expect that the villager in front of her would actually invite them to stay. She was stunned for a moment and couldn't react for a while.

When she came back to her senses, she deliberately looked confused and looked at the villager in front of her, "You are kindhearted in your willingness to help us, but we can't cause you any trouble. After all, we are foreigners and have no reason to live here." I can’t get anything out of here, so I’m afraid…”

When the villagers heard these words, they smiled heartily and said, "It doesn't cost much to live in the village. We are self-sufficient in everything we eat. Even if there are a few of you, we won't be afraid."

"And the location of our village is relatively remote. If you can come to our village, it is considered a fate, so you can live in the village for a while first, and then consider leaving after you have a good rest!"

Before Chu Nanxing could find any more reasons to reject the villagers in front of him, he watched the villagers stretch out their hands and pull Lian Sheng, who was standing at the front, towards the village.

Lian Sheng's eyes had been falling on the meow in the village, and he didn't notice the actions of the villager in front of him at all. It wasn't until he was pulled by the villager for a few steps that he came back to his senses. His eyes were a little dazed, and he didn't know what had just happened. what's going on.

"Then thank you big brother. When we leave here, we will find a way to repay you. If it weren't for you, we would have suffered more these days."

The eldest brother smiled, patted his chest, and said with great enthusiasm, "Even if others encounter your situation, they will help you. People in our village are enthusiastic people, and we welcome people like you from other places. As long as Don’t do anything you shouldn’t do, we will do our best to help you.”

What were the things he said he shouldn't do?
Chu Nanxing was a little confused.

The emotions she showed from beginning to end were all fake, and she was always wary of this village and the people in it.

She guessed that the strangers in the center of the village were probably members of the Fang family, or the men in black robes they had met by chance that day.

But according to the information revealed by this villager, it is more likely that people from the Fang family are there, and I don’t know if Fang Qingfeng is among these people.

Chu Nanxing felt a lot of confusion, but he didn't show it on his face. He still looked grateful and followed the villagers who led the way, while calmly exchanging his inner thoughts with Chu Nanyue.
