"I don't care what you are here for, but I hope you won't affect the peaceful life of my wife and I. After all, we don't have many years left to live."

This is a bit pessimistic, but it is also true.

Chu Nanxing's expression froze when he heard what the old man said.

After a long time, he slowly said, "We won't affect you."

"We will leave early tomorrow morning."

The old man didn't speak, he just stood up slowly and walked towards the kitchen, obviously planning to find the old lady.

Chu Nanxing looked at the old man's leaving figure with a helpless expression. She never thought that one day she would be so unpopular.

The grandfather obviously did not tell his wife their identities. When the old woman came out, she was still full of joy and said with a bit of regret, "If I had known that you would come here today, I would have prepared delicious food in advance and waited for you. "

"There isn't much food to eat at home now, so I can only treat you badly."

When the old lady said this, the old grandfather stood behind the old lady with a complicated expression.

Chu Nanxing and the others were very happy to have a place to stay, so they didn't have the nerve to be picky.

She waved her hand and said quickly, "Grandma, you are too polite. We are already very happy to have these things."

"Later, I was still worried that no one lived in the village. We would have to sleep outdoors at night, and we would be hungry in the mountains!"

As Chu Nanxing spoke, he took the steamed bun handed over by the old woman and took a big bite, showing his love for the steamed bun with his actions.

After a simple meal, the old lady enthusiastically prepared sheets and quilts for them and helped them make the beds. Then she followed the grandfather to another room to rest with some uneasiness.

Several people arrived here all the way and were already very tired. They didn't say much, they simply packed up and got ready to go to bed.

However, considering that this was a strange place, Chu Nanxing and the others did not dare to sleep too deeply.

Early the next morning, when it was dawn, Chu Nanxing heard some slight movements outside. She opened her eyes vigilantly, sat up and looked outside.

I found that it was the old lady and the grandfather who made the noise when they got up.

Chu Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief.

She was no longer sleepy, so she immediately got up and tidied up briefly, then pushed a few other people.

"We go up the mountain early today, maybe we can go down early and get out of here early."

Meng Yue felt that she had to get up not long after she fell asleep, and said in a daze and dissatisfaction, "Why are you so early? The sun has probably not risen yet when you go up the mountain. The mountain road must be difficult to walk!"

Chu Nanxing also knew that getting up early in the morning was a bit inhumane, so he was not angry after hearing Meng Yue's words.

She said helplessly, "Grandpa obviously doesn't welcome us to stay here. We can finish things earlier and leave earlier so that we don't have to disturb Grandpa and his family's peaceful life."

Meng Yue complained a few words, but in fact, her movements in getting up were not any slower than others.

Others got up one after another. At this time, the grandfather and the old lady had already prepared breakfast.The old woman was just about to come over and ask a few people to get up when she saw that they had already put on their clothes and looked like they had been awake for a long time.

"You kids are quite diligent. I'm going to call you, old lady!"

Chu Nanxing smiled sheepishly at the old lady and said, "It's already very embarrassing to let grandma take care of us. How can we still have the nerve to sleep in?"

"Is there any work that you need our help with? We don't have much ability, but we can still help with some simple things. At least we have some energy, and it saves grandma and grandpa from having to do some hard work."

The old woman smiled and was about to say that there was no work at home that needed their help. The old man on the side pointed to the pile of firewood and said, "Since you have said so, please help us chop some firewood. We are two young people." It’s so big that chopping firewood is difficult for us.”

"Branches are not always available in the forest, and it is also difficult to cut branches of the right size."

Since Chu Nanxing offered to help, he would not refuse.Hearing what the old man said, without saying a word, he picked up the ax beside him and started chopping firewood.

By the time the firewood was almost chopped, the sun had completely risen.

Looking at the pile of firewood, the old man nodded with satisfaction.

"For the sake of what you have done, if you come down too late and want to stay here for one night, I can still accommodate you."

Chu Nanxing smiled, didn't say anything more, and just left the village with a few companions.

In the past few years, the road up the mountain has not been used by many people. The surrounding woods have long been overgrown with weeds, and most of the shady light has been blocked. If you go straight up the mountain before the sun comes out, you may not be able to see your fingers.

Based on the vague location in his memory, Chu Nanxing began to look for the old location of the Special Affairs Office.

But after all, they hadn't been here for a long time, and there were formations covering the area near the old site, so they hadn't found the right way for a while.

At noon, a few people sat in the woods, took out the dry food in their bags, simply padded their stomachs, rested for a while, and then started to set off again.

Yunnan always felt that the route Chu Nanxing took was a bit strange. He frowned and finally couldn't help but said, "Are you sure you still remember the route back to the old address? Why do I feel that this route does not look like going to a special event?" What’s the route to the old address?”

Because he had been stationed elsewhere, he had never been to the old site, so he followed Chu Nanxing without saying much.

But seeing that he had circled the same place several times without finding the correct location, Yunnan couldn't help but speak out his thoughts.

"I remember that you are the person in charge of all electronic information in the Special Affairs Office. You should have a map here. How about you recall what is the correct route?"

"I'm not proficient in formations either, and I was only covered by formations, so I couldn't find the correct route for a while. I could only try to find a way around here."

But after hearing this, he looked a little helpless, but looking at the expectant eyes of the others, he hesitated and nodded.

"I can only give it a try, but there is no guarantee that I will be able to find the destination. If it doesn't work, we can only choose to stay in the mountain for one night and continue looking for a location tomorrow."

Everyone else nodded, obviously agreeing with Yunnan's proposal.
