Chapter 40: The Super-Strong, Sickly Beauty
"Oh... um." Mu Xingchen was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and stood firm with the help of Lin Hanzhi's arm.
"Thank you. I didn't expect you to be so strong." Mu Xingchen looked at the dark stairs behind him with fear, which seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.
If he fell down, his head would probably turn into a rotten watermelon on the spot.
"Let's go up first." Lin Hanzhi said in a cold tone.
The cameraman and the team walking in front of the group finally realized that something was wrong and turned around to pull the people back.
Soon, the three of them were pulled to an open space on the steps. Director Song An looked solemn: "What happened just now? Xingchen, how did you fall down?"
Mu Xingchen's face wrinkled into a ball, and he tried to control his expression but was not very successful: "I helped them up the stairs, but... I don't know why, I felt that there was someone behind me, but when I reached out my hand, I found that there was no one there. There was obviously no one, but something still pulled me. Fortunately, Master's sachet and Brother Lin pulled me up, otherwise I would have really fallen down."
As he spoke, he squatted down and hugged his head, as if he was imagining that his head had turned into a rotten watermelon.
Song An and the others present took a deep breath: "Hiss... This mountain is really not very clean. We have only climbed for two hours and we have already bumped into it twice."
Qi Gu suddenly said, "This mountain is so dirty, how did those five hikers climb to the top... Are the five people who reached the top still human?"
At this moment, a sharp wind blew through the mountains, and the rustling of leaves sounded like a faint human voice, which instantly made the legs and feet of everyone present go weak, and they almost knelt down towards Qi Gu in the middle.
[Lin Hanzhi is quite strong, he can keep steady like this]
[What a sickly, strong, beautiful woman! I'll eat you! I'll eat you!] 】
[Ahhhhhhh Qi Gu, what are you doing! I was scared and paid for it! 】
[Help, so it's not that there's one extra person, it's that everyone is not human, right? 】
[Hiss, they are pretty good ghosts. They didn’t forget to inform the netizens in the forum after climbing to the top of the mountain...]
[Fuck, I even replied to posts in that forum, it’s annoying]
"Shall we continue to go up the mountain?" someone said with a trembling voice.
"With Master Qi's sachet, there shouldn't be any problem. Anyway, I won't go down the mountain alone and leave Master Qi!" Isn't that just looking for trouble and seeking death?
"That makes sense. Besides, Master Qi said that this sachet can be used three times. As long as it's not too moldy, you won't die." said an assistant.
The staff members were talking to each other, and while they were talking, they seemed to be eager to put the sachets in their hands directly on the altar, light incense as an offering, and kowtow three times.
Some people are more flexible and are thinking that after this episode is over, the sachet will definitely become a hot commodity, and if they can resell it then, they will surely make a fortune!
Regardless of which idea it was, everyone looked at Qi Gu with more and more respect and gratitude.
"Since no one wants to go down the mountain, let's keep going forward." Song An made the decision.
The team once again twisted forward like a long snake.
This time, everyone deliberately slowed down the progress and followed Qi Gu to reduce the risk.
Among them, the three people closest to Qi Gu are naturally Lin Hanzhi, Mu Xingchen and Pubugesang.
Qi Gu had noticed from the beginning that Lin Hanzhi, who was walking in front of him and was half a step faster than him, walked in an unnatural posture, as if he was injured. He also gasped slightly and made several "hissing" sounds in front of him.
If Qi Gu was not blind or deaf, he would have asked at least.
"What happened to your leg?"
"Ah... It's okay. I was just scratched by a branch when I was pulling the person up." Lin Hanzhi pursed her lips. Under the dim light of the flashlight, her face looked particularly pale.
"I have some medicine here, you can apply some." Qi Gu poured out a pill from the gourd.
"I'm afraid of pain. It hurts to apply the medicine." Lin Hanzhi's eyelashes were like a fragile butterfly, and she blinked gently.
Qi Gu couldn't quite understand his logic: "Wouldn't it hurt more if I didn't apply it?"
"Then can you help me apply it?"
Qi Gu:?
What's the reason for this? Will it stop hurting if he applies it?
Seeing Qi Gu's hesitation, Lin Hanzhi added slowly, "I don't dare to do it myself."
On the side, Mu Xingchen, who felt that Lin Hanzhi was injured because of him, felt extremely guilty and said immediately: "It's all my fault for not being careful. Otherwise, let me do it, Brother Lin, wuwuwuwu!"
Mu Xingchen opened his eyes wide and glared at Pubugesang who jumped up and covered his mouth, asking him with his eyes "What are you doing?"
"Shut up, I'm saving you." Pubugesang lowered his voice so that his voice would not be recorded by the recording equipment. His eyes were still on Qi Gu and Lin Hanzhi.
He still hasn't figured out what's going on.
Didn’t the great devil Lin still manage to type another 30,000 words even though his legs and arms were broken? I was scratched by a branch today. What was going on?
Playing misery to seek sympathy? Do you want Qi Gu to join the Alien Management Bureau and work overtime for him out of sympathy?
Pubugesang's eight-year-old brain was still very innocent. He could not think of anything else except the allowance. He could not think of any reason for a moment, but he instinctively felt that if he and Mu Xingchen continued to stay nearby, there was a high probability that they would be affected and have their allowances deducted.
"Let's go quickly, Qi Gu is enough there." Pubugesang lay on Mu Xingchen's back, covered his mouth, and urged him to go faster.
Mu Xingchen seemed to understand, but after a few hours of contact, he felt that Pubugesang's intelligence was obviously beyond his own, so he chose to trust the other party's judgment.

Lin Hanzhi rolled up his trouser legs, revealing a delicate pale ankle. There was blood on the ankle, which looked particularly shocking against his snow-white skin.
Qi Gu wiped the wound with a wet towel. When he looked up, he saw that Lin Hanzhi's jawline was tense, his fingers were clenched into a fist and pressed against his lips. He looked like he was trying his best to endure the pain.
Qi Gu: “…”
This person is so delicate, could he be made of tofu?
Thinking of this, he made his already gentle movements even lighter, and then carefully applied the crumbs made from the pill to Lin Hanzhi's wound and fixed it with a bandage.
Qi Gu was quite good at this. After all, he often fell down as a child and was used to dealing with it himself.
When I was choosing my major, I also considered whether to study medicine.
But studying medicine takes too long, and he wanted to make money as quickly as possible so that his master could live a good life.
Unfortunately...
Qi Gu stood up and said, "Okay, my medicine is very effective. Your wound is not deep, so I hope it will heal quickly."
"Thanks."
[I don't quite understand, why did the kid suddenly pull Mu Xingchen away? 】
[Upstairs, do you often turn the table when your leader serves you food, and refuse to drink when your leader toasts you?]
【How do you know】
[I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that Qi Gu and Lin Hanzhi are a little ambiguous...]
[No, I'm just helping you apply the medicine. Lin Hanzhi is so delicate that she cries out in pain over such a small wound.]
[Well, I walked a little slowly but I didn’t hold you back. What’s there to blame for being a bit squeamish? I just saved someone.]
[Maybe it’s due to physical constitution?] I’m also very afraid of pain.]
[I just like beautiful women who are afraid of pain. Am I the only pervert here? 】
[Well, to be honest, I am also a pervert]
