Jiang An glanced at the sun in the sky and said to the person beside him, "It's getting late, let's go home first! We can rest for a while, and then it'll be time to go back to work!"
Chen Xun: "Okay, if nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to find the other three teammates this afternoon!"
"Yes!" Soon, the two separated.
They didn't walk together; instead, they went their separate ways for safety.
Chen Xun walked along the road, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.
He knew he had to be careful not to let anyone discover his identity.
Suddenly, Jiang An called out to him from behind.
Chen Xun turned around and looked at Jiang An, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Jiang An walked up to him and said seriously, "Chen Xun, you have family in this instance, which is a very dangerous situation. If they find you, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, you must be careful to protect your safety and not let them notice anything amiss."
Chen Xun nodded, indicating that he understood.
Jiang An continued, "I know you are capable of handling this situation, but I still want to remind you not to let your guard down. If you need any help or support, feel free to contact me anytime. We are a team, and we should support each other."
Chen Xun looked at Jiang An gratefully and said, "Thank you for your concern. I will be careful. If I encounter any difficulties, I will definitely ask you for help."
After saying their goodbyes, the two parted ways again.
Following her memory, Jiang An returned to the small wooden house where she had first arrived.
She gently closed the door, sighed, and felt a heavy weight in her heart.
She never expected that the player would replace the dead villager and even have a family relationship with him.
This complicates matters, as she has to face more risks and challenges.
The danger might not be too great for her, but for those with family members, the level of danger increases significantly.
She could only pray silently, hoping to gather five teammates and successfully complete the first task, thus ensuring her safe exit from the instance.
As for other issues, we can only leave them for later consideration.
Then, she took out some food and water from her storage ring and began to enjoy them.
She hasn't eaten anything since entering this instance.
Because she was always accompanied by someone, she was worried that her unusual behavior would attract attention, so she endured her hunger and even dared not drink water.
As for the grass dumplings from last night, she pretended to eat them piece by piece, but actually secretly put them into her storage ring.
After all, she wasn't sure what the food in the instance was made of, so it was better to be cautious.
Her storage ring was full of edible food, so why would she need to eat the food from the dungeon?
After filling her stomach, Jiang An didn't think too much. Instead, she lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, and prepared to rest. However, although she appeared relaxed and at ease on the surface, she remained highly vigilant.
She knew she was in an unfamiliar environment and had to stay alert to deal with any potential dangers.
Just as she was drifting off to sleep, a clear, crisp gong sound suddenly rang out.
The sound instantly jolted her awake. She opened her eyes wide, a sharp glint in them.
She quickly sat up, put on her shoes, then pushed open the door and walked in the direction the sound was coming from.
When she got close to the fields, she found that many villagers had already arrived.
She quietly blended into the group, waiting silently for instructions, just like the other villagers.
In the crowd, she spotted Chen Xun. The two exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly.
Then, she began to quietly observe her surroundings.
She noticed that the crops grown in the fields here were significantly different from those of modern times, but due to a lack of relevant knowledge, she could not identify the exact types of these crops.
The all-purpose dictionary she once relied on has long since lost its effectiveness.
Soon, all the villagers arrived at the fields, exactly 87 people, not one more and not one less.
Even the young children stood obediently in the line, their expressions serious and attentive.
At this moment, the old man stood at the front of the group, glanced around, and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Alright, now that everyone is here, grab your tools and get to work!"
As he finished speaking, the villagers picked up their farming tools and headed to the fields in an orderly fashion.
Jiang An also received a sickle. She followed closely behind the group and silently walked into the farmland.
She doesn't know how to do farm work. Although she doesn't, this body is the original one, and she is physically strong. With brute force and a little caution, she doesn't have to worry about being discovered by the villagers.
While the other players' stamina didn't increase as much as hers, it wasn't bad either, much better than the villagers'.
Soon, Jiang An skillfully wielded his sickle and began harvesting the crops.
Although her movements were still a little clumsy, she did not forget her main task—to find the other three teammates.
So she worked while carefully observing the surroundings.
In an instant, the entire field was filled with the rustling sounds of workers, like a busy symphony.
However, other sounds began to emerge from the field only after the old man left with his cane.
"The village chief said he has sent people to find the Venerable One, but we don't know when he will arrive. If he doesn't come soon, we're all doomed and will die sooner or later!" an old woman said worriedly.
“That’s right!” another person chimed in.
"If you ask me, this is all the fault of the men, but it's dragging us women down with them!" a young wife complained.
When Jiang An heard this, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
Her squad was an all-female squad, and women are generally better at communicating and spreading information.
Isn't this a perfect opportunity for her to gather clues? Thinking of this, she immediately realized that this might be her advantage.
"That's right, I actually discovered it a long time ago. All the dead were men. There was only one young girl and a young wife, I don't know what happened, but she died too!" an aunt said mysteriously.
“Yes, yes, we don’t need to worry, but what about the men in the family?” an old woman said softly.
"Yes, man, where's the child!"
"Sigh, what was that little girl's name again?" someone muttered.
"It seems to be Daya. Poor Daya, her mother ran away right after she was born, and her father died a few days ago. I never thought Daya would die too!"
Jiang An was startled upon hearing this. She hadn't expected everyone to be talking about Da Ya. Da Ya was dead, and they couldn't even tell that she, the player replacing Da Ya, was a complete idiot? What kind of incredible bug was this?!
