At least knowing the other party's name is a good start.

Guo Jianbai saw that everyone was at least familiar with each other, and then looked at Feng Yichen, "Tell me, did you find out just now, don't hide it."

Feng Yichen glanced at the few people present, "Why don't you say it first to show your sincerity."

Guo Jianbai was helpless, "I didn't succeed in talking to the children today, and you two saw it too, so I don't have any clues. Anyway, it feels very exclusive here."

Ning Jiamei also nodded, "Yes, I tried to talk to the villagers here, but when they saw me, they left in a hurry and didn't reply."

Several others said that was the case.

Finally, he set his sights on Shen Congran and Feng Yichen.

Shen Congran glanced at the partner who had just started working together, "It's normal to be xenophobic, but it's weird here."

Feng Yichen continued her words: "The villagers went to that yard today, and you also saw that it was a funeral. Since the village is weird, this funeral may be related to the spiritual soil. We think we can find a way to follow this clue. .”

Several people looked at each other and felt that it made sense. The villagers were xenophobic and very united, so they had to find a breakthrough.

Seeing that Feng Yichen gave this clue first, Shen Congran said, "It's useless to think about it now. Wait for that Village Chief Wang to come and see how the spirit soil is obtained."

It's already noon now, and Village Chief Wang will come after lunch.

And even though the village is holding a funeral now, they have not neglected them in terms of food.

In contrast, the mission workers were very active and wanted to communicate with the villagers. The other six people from the mission world often nestled in the room. According to Shen Congran's observation, there were two patients inside.

Especially the man with a sallow complexion yesterday, he knew that he was dying of illness just by looking at him.

The woman who delivered the food used to be expressionless, but today she came with a serious expression, and left immediately after serving the food for a few people.

·

When the other five people came over, Shen Congran took a good look at them.

The leader was the middle-aged man who impressed them deeply. His complexion was even worse than yesterday. He would cover his mouth and cough while eating, and left without taking a few bites.

There was also a pair of mother and daughter. The mother looked to be in her fifties, her face was pale and sickly, and the daughter looked very young and healthy, as if she was only about seventeen or eighteen years old. They sat and ate quietly.

The other three men seemed to be together, their bodies were strong and powerful, they ate very fast, and left after eating.

In her opinion, the middle-aged man and the mother of the mother-daughter pair are patients themselves, and this time they came here to dig out the spiritual soil to treat the disease.

The other three may be specially designed to dig up the spiritual soil and sell it. According to her knowledge, the spiritual soil is expensive, and many powerful people want it. With the right.

About half an hour after the meal, the woman who brought them food came back to clean up the dishes, followed by Village Chief Wang and others.

But this time he was still sitting on the bamboo chair. When the chair was firmly on the ground, Village Chief Wang got up and walked into the house.

After entering, he sat on the top seat, as if he was really a master, while outsiders like Shen Congran seemed to be waiting for training.

After twelve people had gathered, Village Chief Wang said, "You all came to look for the spiritual soil. I believe that you have walked around since you entered the village. Have you seen the forest on the west side?"

Shen Congran and Feng Yichen didn't go over there to watch.

It was Chen Lu who raised his hand, "We saw that forest." The forest looked gloomy, so he and Zhao Zhou didn't go in directly.

Village Chief Wang nodded, "It's good that some of you know the way. The spiritual soil is in that forest. You have to find the details yourself. No one in the village will go with you. It's all up to you."

Guo Jianbai was a little anxious, since they arrived on the island yesterday, did they just say a few words until now?

"Hey, is there really spiritual soil in the forest? Why don't you go find it yourself, and ask people from outside the island to come."

As soon as these words came out, Village Chief Wang and other villagers looked straight at him, making Guo Jianbai's heart tremble.

After a while, Village Chief Wang said, "It's God's will. If you want to find the spiritual soil, you can go in by yourself. If you don't look for it, you can stay here. When the boat comes, you can leave."

Feng Yichen thought for a while, looked at Village Chief Wang and asked, "We have never seen what the spiritual soil looks like, so how do we know if we will miss the spiritual soil?"

Village Chief Wang just smiled, "When you see it, you will naturally recognize it as spiritual soil."

The rest of the people were confused when they heard it. They knew what they saw, and their eyes were not machines for automatic discrimination.

However, Village Chief Wang got up and wanted to leave after finishing speaking. Shen Congran immediately stepped forward, "I'm sorry, Village Chief Wang, I have another question. When will the boat that sent us come back?"

Village Chief Wang looked at Shen Congran, his cloudy eyes revealed shrewd scrutiny for a moment, but he quickly covered them up, "Depending on what they think, it usually won't last more than a month."

After speaking, the man had already walked out of the house and sat on the chair again. The strong villager lifted the bamboo chair and left the yard quickly.

"One month?!" Guo Jianbai couldn't believe it.

Ning Jia rolled his eyes at him, "If you haven't heard, it usually won't take more than a month, and it doesn't have to be a full month before you come."

Guo Jianbai didn't want to talk to her. In such a task, everything has to be planned for the worst. If it is really a month, it will be really uncomfortable.

But that's not the point now.

"Then shall we go to the forest on the west side now?" Chen Lu asked the opinions of the others.

The middle-aged man with a sallow face spoke first, "I'll go, which one of you is with me?"

The mother and daughter also stood up, "Let's go too."

Twelve scattered people all decided to go.

Chen Lu watched them all go, "That happens to be together, and we will decide whether to act separately when we get there."

·

So they decided to go to the woods to look for it first, even if they couldn't find it today, they should be familiar with the environment.

When the twelve people came out, other villagers walking on the road saw them going to the west, and they probably knew what they were going for, and they all looked at them quietly, which made Guo Jianbai feel bad.

He couldn't stay idle, so he followed Shen Congran and Feng Yichen, "It's strange that you say they don't dig such valuable soil by themselves."

Shen Congran: "...how would I know."

But Guo Jianbai is still nagging, "I'm still a rich man, so I'm going to seek spiritual soil for the elders in my family to claim credit. This is really a crime. It's obviously not right to let outsiders come to dig treasures."

What he said was like treating this as a game, and his current identity is equivalent to a manipulative character, and game characters have always been good at killing.

Shen Congran could only sigh secretly.
