Facing the old woman's somewhat preachy words, Chu Nanxing nodded in agreement from time to time. The old woman hadn't said so many words to anyone for a long time, and it was rare to meet someone who was willing to listen, so she suddenly became interested.

"By the way, I remember you left the house here when you moved out. You should still remember the location of your home, right?"

Chu Nanxing looked embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "It took too long to move, and the roads in this city are winding. I haven't been back for a long time, and it took me a long time to even find the village." After spending a lot of time, I’m afraid I don’t know exactly where the location is!”

Several others were a little shocked when they saw Chu Nanxing singing and fighting. None of them knew that Chu Nanxing had such good acting skills.

In fact, it was the first time for Chu Nanxing to do such a thing, and he was very nervous.

She was worried that the old woman in front of her would recognize her and that she was not from their village, and she would doubt the purpose of her appearance and the impact of her next plan.

Fortunately, the old lady didn't notice any problem, she just smiled helplessly and said, "You kids, you have forgotten where your roots are!"

"Fortunately, mother-in-law, I am in the village and have a good memory. Otherwise, how could I help you find a home?"

Chu Nanxing immediately followed the old woman's words and praised him a few words. A proud look appeared on the old woman's face and she led Chu Nanxing and others towards a vacant house.

"This is your home!"

Chu Nanxing looked at the unfamiliar house in front of him and expressed his thanks to the old woman, "Great. Fortunately, I met my mother-in-law at the door. Otherwise, I don't know how long I would have been lost in the village!"

"By the way, mother-in-law, where are the other people in the village? Why do they only see you?"

When the old woman heard this, she sighed.

She leaned on her crutches and gently explained, "There are no means of making a living near this village. We old people are willing to stay in the village and don't want to move, but there are a few of those young children who are willing to stay in this poor place." What about the backward villages?”

"Not long after I took your family to move away, other families in the village also moved away one after another. In the end, only the old immortals like us were left. But we are older. Over the years, one after another, because of various He died for various reasons.”

"The remaining people in the village can probably be counted on one hand."

She goes to the village entrance every day, hoping to see the villagers who have moved away one day appear at the village entrance and tell her that they are not leaving.

But she also knew very well that the possibility of this was too small. No one who was used to big cities would be willing to live in such a small place, especially in the mountains and forests nearby, where even traveling was inconvenient. In some cases, no one would want to come.

To be honest, the old woman was very surprised when she saw Chu Nanxing and his group appear.

Especially when I heard that Chu Nanxing brought his friends back to climb the mountain, I was even more surprised.

But the old woman, who had been alone for too long, didn't ask any more questions. After all, it was not easy for someone to listen to him.

"Although no one has lived in your house for a long time, we have helped clean the surrounding environment. However, we have no way to confirm the situation inside the house. After all, you did not leave the key."

"You guys only need three or two houses to live in. If you don't mind it, you can stay at my mother-in-law's house for one night. This will save you the trouble of cleaning up the house."

It’s hard to finish cleaning up, but we won’t be able to live there for long...

Chu Nanxing didn't want to waste time cleaning up the house. After all, they only planned to settle in this village temporarily.Tomorrow morning I will go up the mountain to find the old site of the Special Affairs Office.

If they find their destination successfully and find what they want, they may leave here tomorrow and not stay in this village for a second night at all.Under such circumstances, it is a waste of energy to tidy up a house that is full of dust and has not been occupied for a long time.

Chu Nanxing nodded immediately and said with a smile, "Thank you so much, mother-in-law!"

"I was still struggling with such a big house. The few of us had nothing and couldn't clean it up for a while. Now with the help of my mother-in-law, it saves a lot of trouble."

The old woman's home is in this room, not far away and only a few minutes' walk away.

There are small flowers and grass planted around the house, which looks very lively.

The old woman pushed the door open and walked into the house, and the light in front of her eyes brightened instantly.

Perhaps because there are mountain roads around, it is not convenient to connect electric wires, so the old woman uses kerosene lamps in the house.

The effect of the kerosene lamp is pretty good, at least it can illuminate the room brightly.

There is a square table in the middle of the room.

Sitting in front of the square table was an old man of quite a certain age, with gray hair and a stooped figure. He seemed to be the old woman's wife.

"Old man, do you see who I brought back?"

The old man sitting at the table looked up slowly and slowly.

When he saw Chu Nanxing and the others, he looked at them carefully for a long time, as if he was judging their purpose.

Before the old man could figure out what was going on, the old woman revealed the identities of Chu Nanxing and the others.

When the old man heard what Old Madam Gao said, he immediately frowned, obviously not believing these words.

While the old lady was preparing dinner, the old grandfather came to Chu Nanxing.

"I remember that the base area near here has been abandoned, and you haven't appeared here for a long time. Why are you here suddenly?"

The old man in front of him obviously knew that there was the old site of the Special Affairs Office on the mountain.

He must have dealt with people from the Special Affairs Office before, so he recognized Chu Nanxing's identity at a glance.

But Chu Nanxing looked at the old man in front of him and thought carefully for a long time, but he didn't remember the identity of this old man, let alone where he had seen this old man before.

She deliberately pretended to be confused, looked at the old man in front of her and asked, "My family and I have moved away from here for a long time. Shan Hao really wanted to take my friends back to my hometown to visit and go hiking in the mountains."

"You don't need to disguise your identity in front of me. I know who you are. You are a member of the organization on the mountain. I have seen you walking around on the mountain before."

Chu Nanxing was a little stunned by the old man's words.

She originally thought that her acting skills were very good and at least she would not be exposed in a short time. Unexpectedly, her true identity was discovered in just one meeting.
