[Ding! 80 kilometers to Fuyuan Village.]

Hearing the system prompt, Shen Nan ate the barbecue jerky in his hand in one bite, freed his hands, clicked on the map, and checked the route.

This is the small map automatically generated by the system when he just left the territory.

There is only the route to Fuyuan Village on the map, and there will be a prompt every 10 kilometers. The mountains, rivers, and other villages or towns are all blank and there is no display.

The map initially showed it was more than 130 kilometers away from Fuyuan Village.

In just over two hours, they had advanced more than 50 kilometers.

Originally, the speed could have been faster, but we were lucky along the way and hunted a few animals, which delayed us a little.

Since the mission would not be lost anyway, Shen Nan was not in a hurry and simply took Fanfan with him and headed to Fuyuan Village while hunting.

By the time they arrived at Fuyuan Village, it was already past 11 o'clock in the evening.

The whole village was silent, with only the chirping of insects and croaking of frogs. The villagers had already gone to bed.

According to the location shown on the map, Shen Nan came to the center of the village and found the village chief's house.

[Ding! You have arrived at the home of the village chief of Fuyuan Village.]

As the system prompt sounded, the mini-map disappeared.

There were still six or seven hours before dawn. Shen Nan didn't want to waste these hours waiting for the village chief to get up, so he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

However, he knocked several times, but no one came to open the door, and he could faintly hear snoring from inside the house.

Shen Nan was speechless, "This sleep quality is really good..."

After waiting for a few more minutes, the knocking gradually turned into banging, even waking up the neighbor's dog and starting to bark. Only then did Shen Nan hear an old man's voice from inside the house, "Who's knocking?"

"A mercenary team, here to take on the mission of eliminating the hobbits." Shen Nan answered loudly.

"Come here, come here."

Ten seconds later, the door creaked open slowly, and a white-haired old man holding an oil lamp poked his head out from the crack of the door.

Seeing that only Shen Nan was there, he opened the door completely and smiled kindly: "Sir, please come in and sit down."

"There's no need to sit down. Our mercenary group is going to clear out the hobbit's nest now." Shen Nan declined.

The old man said tremblingly: "Go now?"

Shen Nan nodded.

"Okay, then I'll go call my grandson to take you there."

As the old man said this, he turned and walked into the inner room to call for help.

After a while, a thin boy of about fifteen or sixteen came out.

"Sir, this is my grandson Fugui. He knows the way to the mine, which is..." The village chief of Fuyuan Village seemed a little uneasy.

Shen Nan noticed his hesitation and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's just that he has poor hearing and can't hear. If you have anything you want to know, you can ask me directly." The village chief explained.

Shen Nan was a little surprised: "Can't hear it?"

"Yes, seven years ago his father was working in a mine and he was playing nearby. The mine suddenly collapsed that day and no one inside could escape. His father was also in the mine." The village chief of Fuyuan Village looked a little sad.

"Since then, he suddenly became deaf... But don't worry, I have already told him that he will show you the way to the mine and will not delay you." After saying that, the village chief of Fuyuan Village began to make gestures to Fugui.

Fugui also followed suit, nodding and stammering, "I know."

Shen Nan nodded, realizing that this was an acquired disability, and didn't ask any more questions. "Okay, I understand. Just leading the way is fine. I don't need him to do anything else, so I'll take him away first."

Seeing Shen Nan was about to leave, the village chief opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but finally closed it and said no more.

Shen Nan understood and comforted him, "Don't worry, there will be no danger. I will bring Fugui back to you in the same way I took him away."

When the house was first opened, Shen Nan carefully observed the house.

There were only the grandfather and his grandson living in the whole house, no one else.

Fugui should be the village chief's only relative.

Although he just asked Fugui to lead the way, in the village chief's mind, the number of hobbits was large, and it was natural for him to worry about the safety of his only relative.

"Okay, thank you for your help in looking after me." Hearing Shen Nan's words, the village chief of Fuyuan Village nodded repeatedly, a happy smile on his face, and the uneasiness in his heart also dissipated a lot.

Although the adult in front of me looks very young, for some reason, I have been full of trust in him since the first time I saw him when I opened the door.

Shen Nan brought Fugui to the village entrance, and Fanfan emerged from the darkness.

In order not to scare the old man, Fanfan had been hiding in the dark.

When Fugui saw a giant moving vine, panic flashed in his eyes and he subconsciously wanted to run away.

Seeing this, Shen Nan quickly grabbed him and pulled him to a vine.

Then, he sat on another vine, pointed at himself, and then pointed at the vine next to Fugui, indicating that he could sit on it too.

Fugui moved slowly and carefully sat down on the vine that Shen Nan pointed to.

Seeing that Fugui was no longer afraid, Shen Nan signaled Fanfan to start moving.

As the vine crawled steadily and quickly, Fugui gradually discovered that this huge vine was not scary at all, but instead crawled extremely fast.

His courage gradually grew, and he pointed to the direction of the mountain in front of Shen Nan.

Shen Nan nodded to indicate that he understood.

(I’m so sleepy, I can’t bear it any longer. Good night, my dears~)
