Dashao Village 4

Qin Yan stopped only after escaping into the forest. He took out the oil lamp and handed it to Gu Qingqu. After seeing the light, he put Gu Qingqu down and squatted on the ground, catching his breath. Gu Qingqu looked around to make sure that the ghost lady hadn't caught up with him before squatting beside Qin Yan and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Qin Yan shook his head. Now he was worried about one thing. Gu Qingqu was not wearing a mask just now. If Yan Ning saw his appearance, it would be very bad.

"Did Yan Ning see your face just now?"

Gu Qingqu was completely focused on Qin Yan just now and didn't pay any attention to Yan Ning at all. Now that he was asked, he didn't know the answer.

Forget it. There’s no point in thinking too much. Now I can only take one step at a time. Qin Yan released Liu Lingyang and asked her, "Why did you fight with Ming Po?"

"Something is wrong with the Ren family. It must be the ghost lady who did something secretly. When I was about to take a closer look, the ghost lady found me and started fighting."

After saying this, Liu Lingyang knelt down in front of Qin Yan, "Master, you have boundless magical powers, please save my son. No matter what grudges there are between adults, children are always innocent."

Qin Yan did not answer immediately. Now it was not a question of whether he wanted to get involved in this matter, but whether the ghost lady would let it go.

"I'll try my best"

Qin Yan did not refuse. After all, he was now forced to be tied to Liu Lingyang. This damn place was really infuriating.

Liu Lingyang said: "I want to go back"

"No, going back now would be like committing suicide."

"But I am worried about my An An, Master."

Liu Lingyang insisted but was rejected mercilessly by Qin Yan. The atmosphere was deadlocked. Gu Qingqu tried to smooth things over, "Don't they go out to work during the day?"

Liu Lingyang nodded and said, "The Ren family relies on farming for a living, so they naturally have to go out to work."

Gu Qingqu said: "They won't work together as a family. When it's daybreak, we can quietly approach them in the field to see what's wrong with them."

Liu Lingyang's eyes lit up, "Master is amazing, thank you very much Master"

Gu Qingqu replied, "It's okay, have a good rest."

Liu Lingyang said seriously: "I'm not tired, I'll stay by your bed."

Qin Yan didn't say much, and took out the bed. However, this time he didn't put down the mosquito net, but only put down the gauze curtain. Qin Yan still hugged Gu Qingqu and said softly, "Go to sleep."

Gu Qingqu nodded, then closed his eyes. Qin Yan also closed his eyes and fell asleep. Suddenly the person in his arms trembled. Qin Yan opened his eyes suddenly. Knowing that he was frightened, he patted his back quickly and asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Qingqu's tone was a little frightened, "I just had a nightmare"

Qin Yan said: "Dreams are all fake, don't be afraid"

Although he said this, Gu Qingqu still felt scared. "I never have nightmares. I dreamed that the ghost controlled my body and forced me to marry Yan Ning."

Qin Yan frowned immediately after hearing his words, "She dares..."

Seeing that Qin Yan was angry, Gu Qingqu quickly said: "Dreams and reality are opposites. I must have been frightened by the scene just now, so I had such an unfounded dream."

Qin Yan felt relieved after hearing him say that, and continued to pat his shoulder, "Well, go to sleep."

Gu Qingqu responded but did not close his eyes. The scene in his dream was still lingering in his mind. He rubbed Qin Yan's chest until Qin Yan's heartbeat became more and more deafening, drowning out all other sounds, and then he felt relieved.

Qin Yan felt a little flustered when he rubbed against him. This feeling was rare. He thought that his demonic power was suppressed and his body was weak. He couldn't stand being pressed like this. But Gu Qingqu was so scared that it was not appropriate to push him away now. Just when he was about to ask him to stop rubbing, Gu Qingqu stopped on his own. Qin Yan patted his back and said again, "Go to sleep."

However, Gu Qingqu did not respond to him. At this moment, his world was completely occupied by the steady and strong heartbeat, and he could no longer hear any other words.

At dawn the next day, Liu Lingyang called out to the two of them, "Master, it's dawn!"

Qin Yan felt that he had just fallen asleep, but he woke up immediately when he thought of his current situation. Gu Qingqu on his body was obviously not awake yet and began to rub against his chest again. The panicky feeling came again. Qin Yan held his neck and said in a hoarse voice, "Get up, don't lie in bed."

Gu Qingqu responded in a daze, and Qin Yan was afraid of hurting him so he let go quickly. However, Gu Qingqu did not get up immediately. Instead, he looked up at him with his eyes still not quite clear. Qin Yan swallowed unconsciously when he met his misty eyes, feeling a little awkward for some reason, "Wake up...Wake up"

Gu Qingqu responded, but he did not open his mouth. Instead, the sound came out from his throat, muffled and heavy, like lightning sweeping through Qin Yan's heart. His eyes fell on Gu Qingqu's moist lips, which inexplicably made him feel a little palpitated. He reached out and gently pinched Gu Qingqu's chin, but was interrupted by Liu Lingyang when he was about to take a step further.

"Master, what are you doing?"

Qin Yan's hand paused, then he realized what he wanted to do, and quickly let go of Gu Qingqu, and Gu Qingqu also sat up.

At Liu Lingyang's urging, the two of them took two buns each and followed her out. Qin Yan ate the buns while complaining, "It's too early."

Liu Lingyang couldn't hide the worry on his face. "Last night there was such a big commotion. I wonder if the ghost lady will take her anger out on An An. An An is my child. The ghost lady definitely doesn't like him."

These words successfully shut Qin Yan up. He felt that what Liu Lingyang said made sense, so he just ate buns silently along the way. Seeing that he didn't look well, Gu Qingqu grabbed his hand. The road in the field was already difficult to walk on, and it was even more difficult to walk with him holding. However, Qin Yan thought he was still afraid, so he didn't let go.

The Ren family had a lot of land and it was scattered. Since no one knew which piece of land they would be in, they could only look for them one by one. At this hour, every household was already working in the fields. Qin Yan and Gu Qingqu, two unfamiliar faces, were constantly shuttling back and forth in the fields. Their strange appearance in particular aroused everyone's vigilance.

"Hey, where are you from and what are you doing in our village?"

Qin Yan naturally used the same old excuse, "We are traveling around here. We passed by this place and thought the scenery was beautiful, so we stayed for a while longer. Unexpectedly, we got lost. I wonder if you can help lead the way. Of course, I won't let you waste your time in vain."

When they heard that there was money, everyone was willing to lead the way. "The mountain road is not easy to walk on. I will lead the way for you. How much do you want to pay?"

Qin Yan took out some change from his sleeve and asked, "Is this enough?"

The villagers were not wealthy, and silver was a rare commodity. “That’s enough.”

Qin Yan said: "The forest is steep and there may be wild beasts. Can you bring a few more people with you? I will double the reward once we get out of the forest."

"As long as you are willing to pay, the whole village will lead the way for you," the leading man laughed.

Qin Yan said: "Then we'll take whatever we can get. As long as we can get out, money is not a problem."

"Young Master, you are so heroic." After hearing Qin Yan's words, the man went to gather the villagers.

Liu Lingyang originally thought that Qin Yan was just being polite, but he didn't expect that he was really going to come out of seclusion, so he quickly said, "Master, didn't you promise me to help my son?"

Qin Yan replied: "It's very difficult for me to deal with the ghost lady alone. I will go out and find more helpers. Don't worry, I will not break my promise since I promised you."

Gu Qingqu also chimed in: "You saw what happened last night. Even if we all go in, we are not sure we can win. We might as well find some help and attack them directly."

Liu Lingyang is only worried about her son now. "But we had already agreed yesterday. If you hadn't persuaded me, I would have gone to find my son a long time ago."

Qin Yan said: "It's not too late for you to go now"

Liu Lingyang glared at him, then quickly floated away. The two looked at her retreating figure without saying a word, but soon they no longer paid attention to her. As the news spread, more and more villagers gathered. Gu Qingqu looked at the crowd and asked, "The more people there are, the greater the chance of her getting out?"

Qin Yan replied: "The more people there are, the more energy is needed to create the ghost wall. With such a large number of people, if it is not a big monster, it will not be able to hold on."

After hearing his words, Gu Qingqu breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that I can finally get out this time."

Soon everyone gathered, "Sir, this way!"

"good"

Out of protection for the God of Wealth, the villagers spontaneously let Qin Yan and Gu Qingqu walk in the middle, with people protecting them in front and behind. Most of the villagers were talkative, and for a moment the team became large and lively. The villagers were very curious about the identities of the two, but Qin Yan just laughed it off.

They chatted and laughed and soon left the village and entered the dense forest. This time they did not encounter any traps. They thought they could get out of the mountain smoothly, but they did not expect to be stopped by Ming Po and Yan Ning halfway.

The ghost lady held a leopard-head stick in her hand, her eyes looking straight at Qin Yan through the villagers, looking at him with a half-smile, while Yan Ning stared at Gu Qingqu with displeasure.

It's spoiled, Yan Ning really has fallen for Gu Qingqu. Qin Yan held Gu Qingqu's hand and gently patted the back of his hand to comfort him. He caught a glimpse of the mask on Gu Qingqu's face and felt a little regretful. He should have let Gu Qingqu sleep with it last night. However, with so many people now, it shouldn't be difficult to break through the ghost lady.

But just when Qin Yan was about to give the money, the villagers all shouted to the ghost lady, "Ghost Lady!"

The voice was respectful and pious, and it was obvious that he was an old acquaintance, but Qin Yan still spoke, "As long as anyone is willing to help me out of the mountain, I will give ten taels of silver to each person."

After hearing his words, Ming Po didn't care at all and laughed, "Boy, we have no grudges against each other. I don't know how you were bewitched by Liu Lingyang, but I am an old woman who knows right from wrong. As long as you leave your brother to marry my daughter, I am willing to let you go."

Qin Yan frowned and rejected it straightforwardly, "Impossible"

"Then don't blame me for being merciless." The ghost woman restrained her smile and ordered in a cold voice, "Catch them for me!"

Seeing that the villagers were about to turn against him, Qin Yan was still trying to save them, "One hundred taels of silver per person"
