Dongshan is a large bamboo forest and the highest place in the entire Huaicheng.
In his previous life, Chen Zhizhou was found at this place.
Gu Qing also had doubts. If he was really swept into the mudslide, he should have gone to a low-lying area. Why was he found in this place?
The more Gu Qing thought about it, the stranger it seemed.
As the sky gradually brightened, everything in front of me became clear. Many houses were sparsely scattered among the bamboo forest. The people living here followed Chen's father to take shelter in higher ground.
Gu Qing was worried that there were other thieves looking for Chen Zhizhou's whereabouts, so he didn't dare to shout and could only look around based on his feelings.
When passing by a bamboo house, the conversation between two men in the house caught her attention.
"Chen Zhizhou is dead?"
"A man was indeed swept into the mudslide last night, but our subordinates have not found his body."
"I must see him alive or dead! Only after we eliminate Chen Zhizhou can the master rest assured!"
"What should we do with Zhang Bin?"
"Let's keep him for now. He'll be useful in the future. Since he pushed Chen Zhizhou, he's in the same boat with us. Even if he doesn't want to, he has to listen to us."
Gu Qing held his breath, feeling more and more horrified and angry.
It turned out to be Zhang Bin's doing!
But who were the two people talking? She wanted to see their faces clearly so that she could make plans and be prepared when she returned to Beijing.
The windows of the bamboo house are all covered with paper and oil, and can be poked through with just a little force.
She subconsciously stretched out her finger, but before it touched the window paper, someone covered her mouth, grabbed her by the waist and flew away.
The familiar feeling of weightlessness made her scream in surprise.
The man's palm fell again, blocking her voice.
Gu Qing took a bite subconsciously, and a man's muffled groan came from above his head. Before Gu Qing could raise his eyes, the two of them landed safely at the entrance of a cave.
"you!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Gu Qing felt numb all over and his pupils trembled. He looked at the exhausted Chen Zhizhou leaning against the wall of the cave, gasping for breath.
She rushed over and hugged him tightly in her arms: "It's okay! It's okay! I found you!"
Hot tears fell drop by drop on the back of Chen Zhizhou's hand.
He was suddenly shocked, and all his worries turned into gentle comfort: "Madam, I'm fine."
Although he said that, his tone was so weak that it made people feel distressed.
Gu Qing hugged her tightly, and Chen Zhizhou patted her back helplessly and said, "Be gentle."
"sorry."
Gu Qing quickly let go and checked his body from top to bottom, but there was no injury on Chen Zhizhou's leg.
Strange, wasn’t he injured in his previous life?
It also left a root of illness.
Thinking of this, Gu Qing's expression did not relax, but became more serious. He was afraid that after Chen Zhizhou disappeared, there must be a killer chasing him and causing him to be injured.
In this case, the cave they are staying in is not safe.
Chen Zhizhou saw her expression change rapidly, he heaved a sigh of relief, and pulled her to sit beside him: "There are many things that I don't have time to explain to you."
"Come and rest with me for half a day."
Gu Qing nodded and reached out to rest Chen Zhizhou's head on his shoulder: "I know you have your own plans, and I don't blame you."
"You should have a good rest. We'll talk after you've rested well."
Gu Qing's shoulders were thin, and Chen Zhizhou was reluctant to lean against them. He tried to lean back against the wall several times, but was pulled back by Gu Qing.
She pretended to be annoyed and said, "Dislike me?"
"What are you talking about, ma'am?"
Chen Zhizhou laughed. He was so happy that he didn't even have time to dislike her.
From the moment he saw Gu Qing, his heart was in turmoil.
He never expected that Gu Qing would come to see him!
Thinking of this, he hugged her tightly in his arms, his heart beating very fast, and said in a deep voice: "This will not happen again. Don't take the risk of looking for me again in the future."
If anything happened to Gu Qing, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
Gu Qing smiled and patted his trembling shoulders: "Don't do this again. Don't take risks next time, and don't hide it from me again."
Both of them had thoughts and secrets that they couldn't tell for the time being, but Ke Xin was getting closer and closer in the narrow cave.
After a long while, Chen Zhizhou said, "Okay."
The two of them hugged each other and rested for half a day. Chen Zhizhou regained a lot of strength. After waking up, he felt refreshed and all the previous fatigue was gone.
Gu Qing, on the other hand, was extremely weak and pale, with only his cheeks showing an unusual red.
Chen Zhizhou was horrified and put his palm on her forehead.
Then, he felt a burning sensation and immediately picked the person up.
"You have a fever, we have to go back quickly!"
Gu Qing frowned and sighed: "I'm sorry for getting you into trouble."
I didn't sleep last night and caught a cold in the rain, but I didn't expect my health to be so weak.
Gu Qing was angry and anxious. With the last bit of strength she had, she grabbed Chen Zhizhou's hand and said, "Be careful when you go back. When I came here, I found someone looking for you."
"Let's stay out of the way."
Chen Zhizhou nodded. Now his plan could only be changed and could no longer be continued.
He also needs to take care of Gu Qing first!
Outside the cave, the rain began to fall again.
Gu Qing was held in Chen Zhizhou's arms, with the raincoat covering her completely.
The remaining trace of consciousness only allowed her to see Chen Zhizhou's stern expression and angular jaw.
The feeling of powerlessness in her heart swept over Gu Qing, and she fell into a deep dream. Countless hands grabbed her and dragged her into the dark abyss.
When I woke up again, it was already dark.
There was a curtain made of coarse cloth above her head and the sound of heavy rain beside her ears. She blinked in a trance to make sure she was still alive.
"Awake?" Chen Zhizhou brought over some hot porridge and sat beside her.
Gu Qing propped himself up and grabbed his hand to check it up and down.
"What's wrong, ma'am?"
Chen Zhizhou laughed.
This was the second time Gu Qing looked at him carefully from head to toe, as if he was looking for something.
Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, then came to his senses and looked around, feeling relieved as if he had survived a disaster and said, "Fortunately, we are back alive, and you are not injured."
Chen Zhizhou didn't know what Gu Qing was talking about, so he followed her and said, "Our journey back was smooth, how did you get hurt?"
"The Third Prince's men met us at the foot of the mountain."
As he finished speaking, Li Xiangji's voice appeared outside the curtain at the right moment: "I heard that Madam Chen has woken up? Sir Chen, is it convenient for me to come in?"
"Your Highness, please."
Chen Zhizhou lifted the curtain.
Li Xiangji asked the guards to take the cooked meal and put it aside before leaving. He then sat down next to Chen Zhizhou and said, "Gu Qing, now the whole capital knows that you are truly in love with Zhizhou."
He had a smile on his face.
Gu Qing didn't react for a moment, but after a while her face turned red and she turned to look at Chen Zhizhou: "You know too?"
"Madam, you are so sincere. I will never forget it in my life."
With outsiders present, Gu Qing was too embarrassed to say anything and could only change the subject to hide her embarrassment.
"I'm hungry."
