Chapter 76 Pei Jiuyan has disappeared!

While Qin Suisui and Pei Jiuyan were "negotiating," Dahei had already quietly slipped under the small boat and lay down, waiting for Qin Suisui's order to capsize the boat, catch Qin Suisui, carry her on his back, and swim to the shore.

As for that gun?

Even before she heard any gunfire in the cave, Qin Suisui had already thought that the typhoon last night must have soaked them all, and whether they could still be used normally was still unknown!

When they were about seven or eight meters from the shore, Qin Suisui actually saw Pei Jiuyan. Wasn't he injured? How could he still go into the water?

Qin Suisui frowned, and then saw Pei Jiuyan swimming towards her with all his might in the waves.

After encountering Dahei, he immediately lifted her off Dahei's back, held her in his arms, and carried her ashore.

As soon as she got ashore, she saw Pei Jiuyan's arm, which was still bleeding, and frowned: "Didn't I give you a look? Dahei will come to save me. You're injured, why did you come down here?"

Pei Jiuyan tucked a strand of damp hair clinging to her face behind her ear and chuckled softly, "I wouldn't feel comfortable entrusting you to anyone else." Especially not a ferocious beast. Even if that beast seemed to obey her, he dared not gamble; he couldn't afford to.

On the other side, when Dahei saw that Qin Suisui had been snatched away by Pei Jiuyan, it immediately turned back and swam to Liu Yong, who had also fallen into the sea. Dahuang and Liu Yong were fighting, but Dahuang was small and in the water, so it did not gain the upper hand for the time being.

When Dahei arrived, he got angry when he saw the scoundrel who had put Qin Suisui in danger. He slapped Liu Yong on the head, knocking him unconscious. Then he and Dahuang helped him get ashore.

Seeing that they had come ashore, Qin Suisui helped Pei Jiuyan walk to higher ground. At this time, the tide had not completely receded, and the sea breeze had not completely stopped; large waves still crashed in from time to time, making it very dangerous.

As for Dahei and Dahuang, Qin Suisui wasn't worried at all. Not to mention that Dahei could swim, these two little guys had swum in the pool in the space countless times during this period, and even dared to swim under the waterfall. These waves were nothing to them.

"What? You tampered with that small boat? Does that mean Liu Yong couldn't have escaped in the first place?" Back in the cave, Qin Suisui exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Pei Jiuyan's words.

Pei Jiuyan nodded helplessly.

Looking at Qin Suisui's expression, he patted her head and said, "It's a good thing you and your... friend came, otherwise I might have had to go through a lot more trouble."

Looking at the people lying in the cave, Qin Suisui realized that although Pei Jiuyan's left arm was injured, these people were clearly more seriously injured than Pei Jiuyan. Qin Suisui couldn't imagine how Pei Jiuyan managed to fight against so many people under such circumstances.

Hearing Pei Jiuyan's words, she nodded in agreement. Yes! Luckily, she arrived in time!

The tide hadn't receded yet, so they couldn't get out anytime soon. The people who were originally in the cave and Liu Yong, who was later dragged back by Da Huang and Da Hei, had their hands and feet removed by Pei Jiuyan, were tightly tied together, and were then drugged by Qin Suisui and left on the beach outside the cave. In any case, they wouldn't wake up anytime soon.

The water in the cave had mostly receded. Qin Suisui pulled Pei Jiuyan to sit on a slightly higher spot, gave him an anti-inflammatory pill, and then began to treat the wound on his arm.

Pei Jiuyan stared at her serious profile, remaining silent for a long while before finally asking, "What are you doing here?"

Without looking up, Qin Suisui asked instead of answering, "You know Zhou Zecheng, right?"

Pei Jiuyan was silent for a moment, and Qin Suisui didn't intend to wait for his answer, so she continued:

"He discovered an endangered medicinal herb, saying it was found on this small island, so I came here, and then I encountered a typhoon."

Qin Suisui didn't know what Pei Jiuyan was doing, but it must be very dangerous, otherwise he wouldn't have sent a regimental commander to take such a risk alone.

From the very beginning, she felt that Zhou Zecheng had a problem, and even now, she is not completely sure, which is why she keeps a close eye on him.

She said this to Pei Jiuyan to remind him. After all, from their previous conversation, Qin Suisui knew that Pei Jiuyan and his group might be old acquaintances of Zhou Zecheng's missing older brother, and she was worried that he would lower his guard against Zhou Zecheng because of this.

Perhaps understanding her thoughts, Pei Jiuyan patted her head again, but a layer of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes.

Neither of them spoke again. When Qin Suisui finished treating the injury on his arm and looked up, she found that Pei Jiuyan had fallen asleep against the wall at some point.

His arm must have been injured yesterday; it was soaked in seawater all night and is now showing signs of inflammation. He also has a slight fever. But the anti-inflammatory pill I gave him earlier was a special one made by his grandmother, which also helps reduce fever. So, I'll let him get some rest for now.

Qin Suisui sat next to Pei Jiuyan, watching Dahuang and Dahei playing happily in the water outside the cave. She quietly took out matches and clean firewood from her space and lit a fire nearby. After drying Pei Jiuyan's clothes that he had just taken off, she quickly took a shower in her space. The seawater was sticky and salty, and it was unbearably itchy when it dried on her skin. After changing into a clean set of underwear, she let her hair down and sat by the fire in a tank top to dry her clothes. If she wasn't afraid that Pei Jiuyan would become suspicious, she would have changed her clothes right away.

The clothes wouldn't dry quickly enough, and she felt a bit hungry. After setting the clothes aside, she took two groupers from the pool in her space, cleaned them using the one-click fish-cleaning function, and then put them directly on the fire to roast. She also rummaged through the warehouse and found the barbecue seasoning and oil that she had prepared beforehand, sprinkling a little on them every now and then.

She can't cook, but she's exceptionally skilled at grilling fish and chicken outdoors because she was forced to learn these skills when she was a child, often going to the medicinal herb fields or deep mountains with her grandmother.

Pei Jiuyan woke up to the aroma. When he opened his eyes, he saw Qin Suisui squatting there obediently, with her long, soft hair flowing down her back, her shoulders exposed, and her snow-white arms occasionally turning over in the fire.

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he murmured, "Baby."

Upon hearing this address, Qin Suisui blushed instantly. Pei Jiuyan had used this address a few times before, but it was almost always in... bed.

In secluded places, Pei Jiuyan always addressed her in an exceptionally affectionate way, even though she was already 18, almost 19, he still called her "baby"!

Qin Suisui turned around and glared at him playfully. What kind of nonsense is this man thinking about at a time like this?

Pei Jiuyan let out a low laugh, sat up and took the grilled fish from Qin Suisui's hand, teasingly saying, "I've been waiting for this grilled fish for eight years, and I still need 99 more."

Qin Suisui was embarrassed. When she was a child, in order to trick Pei Jiuyan into sending her more pea cakes from the capital, she made a lot of nonsensical promises, one of which was "I will bake a hundred fish for him when I grow up".

"Okay, okay, I'll bake you 99 when we get back, enough to make your mouth sore from eating so many!"

“That won’t do. I have so much life ahead of me. I need to save the remaining 99 for myself to eat slowly.”

Look, look, is this still the same cold, aloof block of ice? When no one's around, this man is incredibly glib. Qin Suisui thought to herself as she ate her fish.

Pei Jiuyan looked at the sky, which had suddenly darkened, and stood up: "It's going to rain again. We probably won't be able to go back today. I still have something to look for. Do you want to wait here with your friends for a bit?"

Qin Suisui shook her head, threw away the fish bones she had finished eating, clapped her hands and stood up: "What are you looking for? I'll go with you. You're injured, I'm worried about you going alone."

Pei Jiuyan had the same idea. Even though he knew she had two fierce beasts protecting her, he was still worried about her not being under his nose.

Qin Suisui called Dahuang and Dahei over, and then stretched out her hand to Pei Jiuyan: "What kind of thing are you looking for, or what does it smell like? Let Dahuang and Dahei smell it, they can help too."

Pei Jiuyan raised an eyebrow: "Big Yellow and Big Black?"

Qin Suisui nodded and pointed to the two little ones, one yellow and one black: "Isn't the color obvious enough?"

Pei Jiuyan lowered his head and chuckled again. This naming method was really... simple and straightforward.

But he still obediently took out a handwritten note that looked like a password from his pocket: "This was taken from Liu Shao, maybe it was taken from there, so it might have some smell on it."

Qin Suisui nodded and handed the paper to Dahuang and Dahei. The two little ones sniffed it for a while and then started running out of the cave.

Pei Jiuyan and Qin Suisui followed them, wandering around the cave.

Qin Suisui then discovered that beneath what appeared to be an ordinary cliff from above, there were actually so many caves of varying sizes; nature truly is a marvel of craftsmanship.

Two large and two small animals searched around the cliff for more than two hours, but with the rain coming soon, they still hadn't found them.

Qin Suisui frowned: "Isn't it here? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Before Pei Jiuyan could speak, Qin Suisui heard Da Huang squeaking and chirping as it pawed at a small hole about the size of a palm. She thought it had found another small animal's nest, just like before.

She went over and petted it: "Big Yellow, stop fooling around, we're looking for something!"

But Dahuang's face became anxious, and its chirping became urgent.

Qin Suisui realized something was wrong. Pei Jiuyan had already walked over and stood at the small hole that Da Huang was pointing to. He reached in and touched something. Suddenly, the solid cliff wall made a "crack" sound and then split in two, revealing another cave behind it!

This cave was much larger than the one they had just been in. It was quite dark inside, and after walking in for a while and her eyes adjusted to the light, Qin Suisui suddenly realized that it was actually an armory!

No! It's not just an armory!

There were also several identical radio transmitters she had found in the small house where Zhang Zhiqing had rented, as well as boxes and boxes of antique vases, ancient calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver jewelry... all of which looked like antiques.

Are these people planning to smuggle Chinese antiques out of China?

Meanwhile, Hao Ke had successfully arrived at Qiongtan Island. She didn't dare to go directly to Pei Jiuyan and planned to go find Chi Donglin and Song Yunlai first. However, when she excitedly went to find them, she found that Chi and Song had no time to pay attention to her, and the entire camp was in chaos.

Only after asking did I learn that Pei Jiuyan had disappeared!
