Come on, she couldn’t say that.
Suddenly, he heard Qin Shuo coughing a few times, and his face instantly turned pale. He placed his hand on Hu Xiao’s shoulder, and signaled Hu Xiao to support him.
"Cough, cough ..." Another few mournful coughs sounded, making people’s heart feel uncomfortable. As he coughed, he almost coughed out blood.
Hu Xiao had an idea. She forced out two tears and said miserably, "Big brother, my husband has contracted an unknown illness and doesn’t have much time left to live. In the last few days of his life, please let him go, alright?"
Looking at Qin Shuo’s pale face, Hu Xiao cried in a miserable manner, but she forced herself to laugh and sighed in her heart. Qin Shuo was really a good person to put on an act, with such an act, if he wasn’t someone close to Qin Shuo, she would have believed Qin Shuo.
"Cough cough, big ..." Brother, please ... "I beg of you ..." Qin Shuo said in an intermittent voice, as he said it, his face became more and more pale, as white as a sheet of paper.
Seeing the couple in such a miserable state, the black clothed man’s heart was moved. They looked at each other and nodded their heads.
The leader of the men in black opened up a path and said coldly, "If we meet you again, we won’t be so easy to talk to."
Hu Xiao supported Qin Shuo and staggered away, the black clothed man watched the two of their figures and immediately disappeared.
Seeing that there was no one behind her, Hu Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. She patted Qin Shuo’s shoulders and giggled: "It’s really you, acting like that is really true, I almost believed it.
Hu Xiao shook her head. There was one less good actor in the East Court.
While they chatted and laughed, Qin Shuo’s face returned to his original look. The redness of his face was handsome, and it was a stark contrast to his previous sickly look.
"It’s quite a pity. Luckily, I stopped you earlier. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to pass the test so smoothly." Qin Shuo smiled with gratitude. Now that he thought about it, his heart was thumping hard.
He was not afraid of himself, but of Hu Xiao.
"Hey, what kind of work did you ask for? If it wasn’t for my intelligence, we would have started fighting from the very beginning." Hu Xiao crossed her hands in front of her chest like a rooster, gallantly walking away.
After a few seconds, she suddenly heard a sound of "Ah". Hu Xiao almost fell to the ground.
Qin Shuo was extremely nervous. He went over to take a look, and discovered that Hu Xiao had sprained her ankle.
"What bad luck!" Hu Xiao rubbed her ankle and said angrily.
"Xiao-Xiao, bear with it." Qin Shuo said softly, his expression was serious as he gently twisted Hu Xiao’s ankle.
Hu Xiao’s face turned white, the pain on her leg was suffocating, she gritted her teeth, and did not scream.
With a "kacha" sound, the bone was in place, but Qin Shuo was still worried about her. He grabbed her hand and said: "Xiao-Xiao, I’ll carry you."
"Alright, carry me." Hu Xiao was not courteous at all, she immediately told Qin Shuo to carry her, "Let’s go, we have to leave this place quickly, otherwise they will come back."
Hu Xiao laid on Qin Shuo’s broad and broad back, her face was filled with enjoyment, and the two of them walked towards the nearby village. Both of them did not know the way, so they followed the footprints on the ground.
"I wonder if it’s this path. Let’s take a look." Qin Shuo said softly. His beloved person was lying on his back, and he felt that this kind of time was very peaceful.
"It must be this road. There are so many footprints along the way." Hu Xiao replied slowly, she was not idle, her eyes looking around, suddenly, she saw a small village not far away.
Hu Xiao was overjoyed. She pointed to the front and said happily, "Qin Shuo, do you see it? It’s right there."
Qin Shuo was not blind, he had seen it for a long time. When the two of them arrived at the village, Hu Xiao saw that every household was trying to find a way to dry the fields, she suddenly shouted in surprise.
When the villagers saw that outsiders had arrived, they became even more vigilant. Normally, there wouldn’t be many people coming here, so they all took note of this situation.
"Qin Shuo, put me down, I can walk." Hu Xiao rubbed her chin, looking at the cold villagers, a cautious look flashed past her eyes.
"Alright, then you be careful." Qin Shuo carefully put her down and stared at Hu Xiao’s ankles.
In order to prove that she was alright, Hu Xiao hopped a few times in front of him. "How is it?
Seeing Qin Shuo nod his head, she continued, "Let’s find someone to ask."
Ten steps away, there was a villager standing at the door watching them. Hu Xiao revealed a sweet smile on her face as she walked towards the direction of the villagers with a smile.
However, the villagers nodded their heads and left, ignoring her.
Hu Xiao’s smile froze, thinking what kind of person was this, before she even said anything, she had already turned and ran.
If you ran, then so be it. I don’t even want to ask you!
Hu Xiao turned her head and saw that three to five villagers were gathered on her right side, conversing with each other.
Hu Xiao could feel in her heart that these few people might be discussing her and Qin Shuo.
understood this logic, she adjusted her state of mind, her embarrassed eyes quickly looked at Qin Shuo, and then walked to the right side, where she grinned with a friendly face.
"Hello, Auntie!" Hu Xiao smiled and greeted them, no matter what, he still had to be polite, and asked, "I want to ask you guys, where is the Village Chief’s home?"
Compared to the villagers, the village chief was easier to talk to. Therefore, if Hu Xiao wanted to find the village chief, she had to talk to him about something.
"Village head ..." One of them dragged his last words out. His gaze looked at the others, seeming to be hesitating about whether or not he should tell Hu Xiao where the village chief lived.
"Yes, Uncle, please tell us. Thank you." Hu Xiao was rarely so polite.
"Why are you looking for our village chief?" That person straightened his face and continued to ask.
As they spoke, they looked again, as if trying to determine whether or not the person standing in front of them was an outsider.
He immediately started to look for the Village Chief, especially since they were two strangers. It might not be a good thing for them.
Just as Hu Xiao was about to answer, she heard a clear voice from behind him: "You’re looking for our village head, little miss. If you don’t say what it is about, we can’t possibly tell you where the village head lives, we can’t possibly harm him right!"
Hu Xiao turned around and saw a beautiful woman from the village.
She looked at Hu Xiao with a gossipy gaze as if she was trying to find something. She was known as the "gossipy girl".
Hearing that, Hu Xiao felt that their words made sense. She was an outsider, it was normal for them to not trust him.
"We have come to find the Village Chief to understand some of your village’s matters, such as matters related to the village." Hu Xiao smiled, her attitude extremely amiable.
