"You'll know when you get in. I'm leaving first. There are still many people outside. Please do as you please."

The old woman spoke slowly as she turned around slowly.

Jiang Shaoxing was an impatient man. He quickly reached out and grabbed the old woman's bony arm. His face was full of confusion and worry, and he said anxiously:

"Old lady, are you sure this place can really accommodate 40 of us? Are you kidding us? It's such a small place..."

As he spoke, he stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck, and looked towards the room, trying to see some clues from his limited field of vision.

But no matter how he looked at it, the size of the room didn't seem like it could accommodate so many of them. His brows were tightly furrowed together, and he tried hard to prove that his suspicion was justified.

The old woman turned around helplessly and chuckled softly. Her laughter seemed to carry some tolerance for the young people's unfamiliarity with the situation. She shook her head gently, and the sparse white hair on her head swayed gently in the breeze.

"I, an old woman, have seen many newcomers like you who just came in and knew nothing."

The old woman raised her head slightly, her eyes seemed to pass through the group of people in front of her and look into the distant past.

"It's not just you who have to live in a house like this; your predecessors and predecessors all lived this way. Here, there are many things you can't just see with your eyes, and you can't just judge the truth based on your own imagination."

"Well, sometimes what you see isn't always what you believe, and what you hear isn't always what you hear. I'll be leaving now. There are still many people waiting outside. If you're so suspicious, why not go in and take a look first?"

The old woman's voice was still neither hurried nor slow, just like the gurgling stream, peaceful and with an irrefutable power. Every word was clearly heard by everyone, but it was difficult to grasp the deeper meaning of the words.

"what?"

Jiang Shaoxing was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously let go of the other person's arm. Then he scratched his short hair, with an expression of embarrassment and hesitation on his face. He was still wondering whether the old woman's words were reliable.

"Squad leader, how about we go in and take a look first? Maybe there's a small space in here, like one of those places with strange mechanisms and hidden secrets."

Someone from the crowd at the back poked his head out and cautiously suggested something. There was a hint of curiosity and anticipation in his voice, and his eyes were sparkling as he looked at Jiang Shaoxing, as if he couldn't wait to unveil the mystery of the room.

"Yes, yes, squad leader, if she lied to us, we can still go out and argue with her. After all, there's no way such a small room could possibly accommodate 40 of us."

Another person also echoed and winked at the people around him, causing many people to nod.

"We still have training tomorrow. If we don't have a good place to stay, we won't have the energy to train the next day. This is related to our future mission."

Many people in the team were talking at once, and for a moment, all kinds of concerns and speculations were heard one after another.

"Tsk, alright alright, let's go in and take a look."

Jiang Shaoxing frowned and thought for a moment, then he sighed helplessly and turned to the person behind him. When he turned around again and wanted to ask the old woman for some details, he was surprised to find that...

The other party had disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared here. Only the empty path and the seemingly inconspicuous little house in front of him remained.

"Creaky" Nanyu walked forward slowly, stretched out his hand and pushed open the small wooden door surrounding the fence. The wooden door made a somewhat harsh sound, as if telling the long years it had experienced.

Everyone followed him into the yard and saw some blue bricks on the ground. The bricks were arranged neatly. Although there were signs of wear and tear in some places, it added a bit of ancient charm.

I have to say that this yard is really nice. A sturdy peach tree stands in the middle of the yard. The trunk is so thick that it would probably take two or three people to hug it. The lush branches and leaves stretch out in all directions, like a natural big umbrella, blocking a lot of sunlight for the yard.

Under the peach tree, there is a two-story wooden house that is not exquisite but not shabby. The wooden boards of the house look a bit old and the color is slightly dark, but it reveals a unique sense of solidity.

There is also a round table under the peach tree. The table top is wiped clean and there are a few chairs around it. The style of the chairs is also simple and rustic, as if they are quietly waiting for people to come here to rest and chat.

There are some plants planted around the fence, including gorgeous flowers and fresh green vegetables. They sway gently in the breeze, complementing each other. It looks very pastoral, and as soon as people walk in, their hearts can't help but calm down.

It seems that the hustle and bustle of the outside world has nothing to do with this place, leaving only this quiet and comfortable little world.

The only drawback is that even though the house looks like it has two floors, it doesn't seem like it can accommodate more than 40 people when viewed from the outside.

Compared to the large group of people like them, the size of the house seemed too small. Everyone couldn't help but feel doubtful when looking at it, but since they had already come in, they could only bite the bullet and continue exploring.

A group of people came into the house, looking at each other, feeling nervous and curious.

Nan Yu took a deep breath, reached out and pushed open the door of the cabin. As the door slowly opened, when he saw what was inside, he couldn't help but frown, and his face was full of astonishment.

Although the cabin looked small from the outside, with its narrow door and small windows, one couldn't imagine what it looked like inside. But what was revealed to everyone at that moment was that the space inside was unusually large.

A spacious hall with rows of rooms extending on both sides.

Not to mention 40 people, even 80 people can live here comfortably. The space is enough for everyone to live here comfortably.

However, this cabin has 40 rooms, which are arranged neatly next to each other. There is no other decoration and the walls are just simple wooden boards.

The floor was also a flat wooden floor. Apart from the necessary beds, there were almost no other items in the room. It was completely a small dormitory. It was so simple that it was a little surprising, but it actually solved their accommodation problem.

"I'll go, I told you it's not that simple."
