Snakes? Bugs?
Qin Jiuci took out a porcelain bottle from his storage ring and held it up to introduce it to Wanyue. "Miss Zhu, this bottle contains a powder that repels snakes and insects. Just sprinkle it around where we sleep, and there won't be any snakes or insects."
Wanyue was skeptical: "Does this powder really work?"
Qin Jiuci nodded and assured: "Yes, Miss Zhu."
Okay, I believe you.
Wanyue happily went to find a place to sleep.
Qin Jiuci hurried to catch up.
Ten minutes later, Wanyue stopped under a big tree and walked around the tree. She said she was quite satisfied with this place.
Let's sleep here tonight.
Qin Jiuci walked over and understood.
This place might be the most beautiful place in this woods, right?
The tree in the middle is twice as big as the surrounding trees, and there is a magical circle of space around the tree, forming an empty grassland.
There was a bunch of bright flowers growing on the lush grass. Wanyue was squatting beside it, her hand already on the branch.
Qin Jiuci looked at it for a while, then turned around and left to sprinkle the medicine powder.
Miss Zhu is afraid of snakes and insects, so he sprinkled more powder to ensure that no snakes or insects would come near here.
…
Qin Jiuci half bent over, holding a porcelain bottle in his hand and tilting it towards the ground. As he moved, light yellow powder fell from top to bottom on the grass.
Wanyue ran over from a distance holding a bouquet of flowers.
Running to Qin Jiuci's side, Wanyue pointed at the grass beneath their feet and began to direct, "Here, here, sprinkle a little more here."
Qin Jiuci took the porcelain bottle and poured some medicine powder on Wanyue's fingers.
Wanyue pointed to another place, "And here, sprinkle it here too."
Qin Jiuci followed.
"Oh, and over there."
Wanyue started running to the other side.
Qin Jiuci followed Wanyue quietly throughout the whole process. Wherever Wanyue pointed, Qin Jiuci would pour the medicine powder there.
Some of these places were where Qin Jiuci had just sprinkled medicine powder.
After all the trouble, Wanyue raised her hand and yawned, stuffed the bouquet in her hand into Qin Jiuci's arms, turned around and ran towards the tree.
Under the big tree in the middle of the grass, Qin Jiuci had already spread a layer of soft bedding.
Wanyue ran over and sat down, waving at Qin Jiuci, "Qin Jiuci, come here quickly."
Qin Jiuci walked over with the bouquet and stood at the edge of the bedding. Just as he was about to sit down, Wanyue reached out and pulled him over.
Wanyue took Qin Jiuci's hand, forced him to sit next to her, and then leaned over.
Wanyue rested her head on Qin Jiuci's shoulder and yawned, her eyes only half open. "Qin Jiuci, good night."
Qin Jiuci replied stiffly, "Good night...good night."
Wanyue leaned against Qin Jiuci and soon fell asleep.
But Qin Jiuci, who she was leaning on, was very energetic and not sleepy at all.
Qin Jiuci's attention was involuntarily drawn to the little girl beside him.
Smelling the familiar floral scent in the air, Qin Jiuci slowly, little by little, tilted his head to the side.
Qin Jiuci stopped moving until he felt the side of his face touching Wanyue's hair.
Qin Jiuci gently rubbed Wanyue's hair with his face, the corners of his lips slowly curled up, and his eyes were filled with tenderness and love.
…
“Help…Help!!!”
Qin Jiuci was awakened by a cry for help. He opened his eyes and saw a gray haze all around him.
I could vaguely feel the ground shaking, and overhead I could hear the sound of birds flapping their wings.
Wanyue half-closed her eyes and muttered, "It's not even daybreak yet..."
After saying this, Wanyue turned over and continued to sleep with her eyes closed.
Qin Jiuci smiled helplessly, got up and went to check the situation.
The sound came from the woods ahead, and it sounded like there was more than one person.
Qin Jiuci picked up the long sword he had placed aside and walked into the woods.
About ten minutes after Qin Jiuci left, Wanyue turned over and sat up. She stood up a little too quickly, as if she had suddenly woken up.
Wanyue rubbed her eyes and looked to the side, but there was nothing there.
“………”
Where is Qin Jiuci?
Didn't he sleep next to her last night?
She still slept leaning against him.
Why is he missing now?
Wanyue sat and rubbed her eyes for a while, and the memories in her mind gradually returned.
She seemed to hear someone shouting for help just now.
So... Qin Jiuci went to rescue people?
Wanyue stood up quickly and walked forward.
The little liar's own injuries had not yet fully healed, but he rushed to save others.
Is it your relative who is calling for help?
So enthusiastic.
Wanyue plunged into the woods and walked forward in the dark.
After walking for a while, they heard faint sounds of fighting ahead, and Wanyue followed the sound.
As she got closer, Wanyue saw a group of people dressed in the attire of Xuanmen disciples. Next to them were three villagers, who were hugging each other and shivering, with expressions of fear on their faces.
Wanyue looked around but didn't see Qin Jiuci.
Wanyue pushed aside the branches and walked out. The noise she made attracted everyone's attention.
The Xuanmen disciples recognized Wanyue, and their originally depressed expressions turned into joy, and they all gathered around.
"Elder Zhu! You're finally here!"
Looking at the big watery eyes opposite her, Wanyue touched her chin and responded with a smile.
"Well, here I come."
These children must have just encountered something terrible. After all, we are elders and we should be tolerant and caring towards children.
A group of disciples gathered around Wanyue, as if they had found a backbone, and talked about their experiences in unison.
"Elder Zhu, we've gotten separated from the main group and are lost in this woods..."
Lost?
What a coincidence, she and the little liar also got separated from the main group.
"Elder Zhu, we just encountered a monster. It kidnapped the children from the village. It was too powerful. We couldn't defeat it."
As the disciple spoke, a look of fear and alarm appeared on his face again.
"Yes, yes, luckily Senior Brother Qin arrived in time, otherwise we would have been torn to pieces by the monsters!"
Wanyue grasped the key point and grabbed the disciple who was speaking and asked, "Who are you talking about? Senior Brother Qin? Is it Qin Jiuci?"
The disciple nodded, his expression a little dazed.
Why did Elder Zhu become so excited when he heard about Senior Brother Qin?
Just now, when he heard that they had encountered a monster, Elder Zhu didn't react so strongly... No, it seemed that Elder Zhu didn't react at all just now.
Could it be that Elder Zhu knows Senior Brother Qin?
The disciple thought doubtfully.
Seeing the disciple nod, Wanyue continued to ask, "What about Qin Jiuciren? Where did he go?"
Qin Jiuci is not here. Could he have been captured by a monster?
The next second, the disciple in question answered Wanyue, "That demon beast was too powerful. Senior Brother Qin lured it away."
