XXII
I have to take him away quickly, go back, go back quickly, this is the only thought in Yunqi's mind.
He quickly picked the man up and started walking back along the way they came. His back seemed to start to feel warm, and he walked faster and faster.
He had just gone into the river to rescue someone, and it was night time, and he was in a hurry, so Yunqi's vision was not very clear.
There was a person coming towards him, and Yun Qi only saw him when he was right in front of him. When he just realized it, his heart was tightened and he was ready to fight.
But I heard the person opposite me say in a familiar voice: "You, you..."
Baiyi recognized him and wanted to ask him why he was there, but seeing his appearance, she wanted to ask who he was. She had too many questions and was speechless.
Yun Qi reacted quickly. When he knew it was him, he said directly: "I don't have time to explain to you now. Find me a safe place."
Baiyi saw him carrying someone on his back, and although she didn't quite trust him, she still did it.
Inside a house.
Yun Qi looked at the person lying on the bed. Next to him was a basin of water for cleaning wounds, and on top of it was a piece of cloth stained with bright red blood.
After doing all this, the sky began to brighten.
Outside, birds are singing one after another.
Baiyi stood aside and waited for a long time.
At this time, Yunqi finally turned his attention to the person behind him.
"Okay, Mr. Baiyi, thank you. You must be tired after working for so long. If you have nothing else, go back and rest."
After saying that, he turned back.
"No?" Bai Yi stared at the man in front of him who seemed to have been reborn. At the same time, Yun Qi turned his head and looked at him.
Bai Yi: "Who are you? What are you doing by the river? Who is lying on the bed? Aren't you going to give an explanation?"
Yun Qi's face remained calm upon hearing this. He thought about it briefly and subconsciously touched his beard which was no longer there. Then he remembered that he had jumped into the river to wash off all his makeup.
He coughed lightly, "Well... you saw it too. Although I was indeed in disguise, I am indeed a Taoist priest. I was mainly worried that you wouldn't trust me. After all, sometimes image does have a certain impact, don't you think?"
Bai Yi snorted, "How dare you lie? Do Taoist priests need to go to the river?"
Wow, pretty smart.
In fact, Yunqi just made up lies too casually.
Yun Qi thought about the man's behavior. There had been nothing unusual in the past few days. Plus, he was willing to help him at night, so he must be a good person.
"I'm lying to you, but do you really hope that the person who comes here is a Taoist priest?"
"What do you mean?"
"You know what I'm talking about."
Yunqi looked at him, but Baiyi chose to remain silent.
Seeing this, Yun Qi slowly exhaled. "Is it a demonic entity at work, a demonic entity rampant, or... someone misleading the people with lies? Mr. Baiyi has a lot of experience, so he should be able to make a judgment."
These words seemed to touch Baiyi's heart. He had always believed this, but the county magistrate and the people did not trust him.
"That being said, how can I trust you?"
Yun Qi stood up and walked slowly towards him. Bai Yi took a step back defensively. Yun Qi smiled and reached out to pat his shoulder. "That's normal. If you don't believe me, just keep an eye on me. Just don't put the cart before the horse."
His action was so sudden that Baiyi was stunned. Before she could react, she suddenly heard a voice that did not belong to either of them.
"What are you...doing?"
At this moment, one of the two people was as stiff as ice, and the other was as curious as a cat.
Yunqi had his back to him, but Baiyi's perspective could accurately match the gaze of the person on the bed.
Bai Yi didn't think anything was wrong at first, but after watching for a while, he suddenly realized that the scene was more or less too quiet. Moreover, someone was being rescued that day, so why wouldn't they rush to check on him even though he had woken up?
"The person is awake."
A sentence floated in the room, particularly abrupt.
Yunqi was not ready to face it yet. He did not expect that this person would wake up so quickly. His physical fitness was really good.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Bai Yi reminded him again: "Wake up..."
"I'm not deaf." Yun Qi's tone was extremely cold.
Although Baiyi was somewhat unwilling to be criticized, that was all she had to do, so she just stood there and did nothing.
Never mind, it's a blessing in disguise, but if it's a disaster, you can't avoid it. Yun Qi silently repeated it in his mind and slowly turned around, but he couldn't help but close his eyes temporarily. He turned to the right position, took a deep breath, and opened them instantly!
!? !? !?
What kind of look was that? Yun Qi rushed in front of Ling Junyan and looked him up and down fiercely.
Baiyi didn't understand, "What are you doing?"
Yun Qi raised his hand to interrupt him, "You don't understand, this is like a pirated copy."
"What pirated version?"
Ling Junyan sat there, letting Yun Qi look at him, and he didn't feel uncomfortable. It even aroused his curiosity and started to look himself up and down.
"What are you looking at!" Yun Qi suddenly yelled. Ling Junyan was startled by him and looked at him helplessly.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?" Bai Yi was watching from behind. She felt that Yun Qi was bullying others, so she couldn't stand it anymore and walked over and said, "If you have something to say, just talk about it."
Yun Qi looked at him with despair in his eyes, almost collapsing, "You don't understand..."
He can't do this.
"What don't you understand? You're clearly bullying this brother. Even if you're an honest person, you shouldn't act like this."
"I bullied him?"
Baiyi nodded.
Yun Qi complained bitterly. He turned around dejectedly and said to Ling Junyan, "You finally became a younger brother. With the big brother protecting you, you won't have to worry about food and drink..."
Yun Qi sighed at the end of his words and didn't know what he was saying. Bai Yi also found him confusing.
He asked, "You haven't told him who he is yet?"
Yun Qi: "Now you remember he's a stranger?"
Baiyi pursed her lips and said nothing.
Yunqi sighed and planned to make up a story.
Then, Ling Junyan shouted loudly, "Brother!"
Looking back, his eyes are sincere, his emotions are genuine, he is a typical "three good students".
Yun Qi: “…”
Bai Yi: "So he's your younger brother, are you guys from the underworld?"
Yun Qi ignored his question and glared at Ling Junyan.
Ling Junyan grinned at him.
Yun Qi felt a surge of anger rising to his throat, "I really want to strangle you to death!"
He not only talked about it, but also took action and really started to fight.
"Hey!" Baiyi hurried forward to stop it.
"Don't stop me!"
"Brother..."
"Shut up!"
Then Yunqi had a loyal little brother.
Yunqi dressed up and took him back to the city.
Ling Junyan had a small mustache and wore a Taoist hat, and followed obediently behind. Every time Yun Qi looked back, he couldn't help gritting his teeth, while the other party would only smile foolishly.
There was no other way, and we couldn't leave him there. Although the place Baiyi found seemed safe and secluded, I was still worried. With his condition, even if others couldn't find his whereabouts, who could guarantee that he wouldn't run away on his own?
Besides, that place is not far from the river. No matter where he fell into the river, the gang will probably search along the river, so it is safer to stay with him.
Thinking about it, Yunqi looked back again.
Catching the look from his elder brother, Ling Junyan looked back with interest, but Yun Qi made a "tsk" sound, which hit his young heart hard.
He paused, wanting to vent his emotions a little and wait for his elder brother to ask him.
As a result, Yunqi didn't even look at it, and just kept walking forward, and walked a long way away.
Ling Junyan immediately became intimidated and quickly jogged to catch up. Before he got close, he saw that his elder brother had stopped and a man in green official uniform was standing in front of him.
He watched Yun Qi complimenting the man, and after saying a few words, he turned his head to look at him.
"Why did you run so far? Come here quickly."
Ling Junyan did not dare to slack off and quickly came in front of the few people.
Yun Qi introduced, "This is my disciple." Then he said to Ling Jun, "Why don't you go and meet the county magistrate?"
The county magistrate hurriedly stopped him: "No, no, you are a guest. Come in and sit down."
After hearing what the county magistrate said, Ling Junyan obeyed and walked into the yamen without even waiting for the county magistrate.
Yun Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at his back as he strode forward, thinking to himself: He truly deserves to be the emperor, his arrogance is unmatched.
Yun Qi and the county magistrate, who was standing still, exchanged glances before offering an awkward smile. "He...just came down from the mountain and isn't familiar with some of the etiquette. Please don't be offended, county magistrate."
The county magistrate was also generous, "No problem, no problem, your disciple is straightforward, which is a blessing."
Yun Qi couldn't even smile. If he had known earlier, he should have made him look younger...
