Of course, what Qin Nan cared about more than the strange appearance of the little bald doll was that the little baby was sitting on the young man's neck, with its two little hands holding his earlobes and pressed tightly against the back of the young man's head.
No one knows how the little baby did it. Whether the young man was digging a hole or moving and transporting the villagers he had pulled down earlier, the little baby sat very steadily without even the slightest sway, as if the little baby and the young man were stuck together.
After observing the two men and seeing that they didn't pay attention to him, Qin Nan tried to stand up by supporting himself with his hands. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a seven or eight-year-old boy, who was tied up like a dumpling, crawling towards the young man like a caterpillar.
Qin Nan stared blankly at his struggling figure, watching as the little boy suddenly opened his mouth wide, revealing sharp, beast-like white teeth, about to bite down just as he was about to approach the young man.
Without turning his head, the young man slapped the little boy across the face, sending him flying. The boy crashed heavily into the earthen wall, creating a large crater.
The little boy was unharmed and slowly pried himself out of the wall.
After Qin Nan got up, confused and bewildered, she saw the little boy successfully fall to the ground, then his eyes flashed with malice as he crept closer to the young man, only to be whipped away again.
Looking at the little boy's tattered clothes and the dozens of holes of various sizes in the wall, one can imagine that the two of them have been doing this many times before.
Qin Nan: "You are..."
Before Qin Nan could finish speaking, someone suddenly jumped down from behind him. He instinctively turned around and was stunned by the sight.
This person is just too good-looking!
Qin Nan felt he had never seen such a handsome person in his life, especially the person's eyes. The person looked at him with a detached and otherworldly gaze, which, although somewhat aloof, made Qin Nan feel inexplicably close to him, and his heart rate noticeably increased.
Bai Hao watched as Qin Nan stared at him blankly, just like when they first met, his eyebrows slightly curved, and he was in a great mood.
Similarly, his irresistible excitement made him smile brightly, and without hesitation, he stepped forward, pulled Qin Nan into his arms, and kissed her passionately.
Qin Nan stared wide-eyed in shock at the stunningly beautiful face so close to hers.
Bai Hao skillfully pried open Qin Nan's pearly teeth, swirling his sweet lips and tongue around her mouth.
Qin Nan's mind went blank for a long time. When he came to his senses, Bai Hao was still sucking on his lower lip.
Although this guy is handsome, that doesn't give him the right to act like a thug!
Qin Nan frowned, anger rising within him. Without hesitation, he aimed a knee strike to the groin and a punch at the face, but...
Completely unprepared for Qin Nan's resistance, Bai Hao, who was passively defending himself without reacting, watched Qin Nan writhing on the ground, tears streaming down her face, clutching her hands and knees. He was at a loss for how to react.
He was Bai Ze, and even in human form, his physical abilities were at the level of a divine beast. Normally, Bai Hao would be prepared and wouldn't be on guard against Qin Nan, but at this moment, he really didn't expect Qin Nan to beat him up without hesitation, so his body reacted passively.
Qin Nan was in so much pain that he questioned his existence. His hands and knees felt like they were hitting iron plates. He couldn't understand how Bai Hao's face could be as tough as a copper wall.
Bai Hao squatted down and hugged Qin Nan, raising his hand to massage the sore spots to relieve the pain. Now that Qin Nan was awake, he had no divine power, so he could only massage her.
Qin Nan's voice trembled with tears: "Are you... are you even human?"
Bai Hao: "...No."
Qin Nan: "..."
Bai Hao: "You are my lover, but you have forgotten for the time being. You also know that you have forgotten many things."
Upon hearing this, Qin Nan instantly forgot her pain, her eyes widened, and she pointed a trembling finger at Bai Hao: "You...you're the heartless man who slept with me and then dumped me?!"
Bai Hao: "???"
Bai Hao looked utterly bewildered, staring at Qin Nan with a blank expression, completely unable to comprehend what he was saying.
What? He kicked her after sleeping with her?
What kind of heartless runaway?
He was only gone for a little over a day, how could he suddenly be burdened with a fabricated crime?
"Pfft, hahaha, you heartless bastard, hahaha!"
Bai Hao was being scolded, and the bald young man next to him, Li You, laughed out loud without any politeness.
Bai Hao glanced at him coldly, but it was to no avail.
Putting aside the fact that Li You is an adult beast, and only Bai Hao would be afraid when he was seriously angry, Bai Hao's current state of having no divine power at all, his eyes are truly not intimidating at all.
However, Jiang Jiang, the little Chaos cub on Li You's body, was still quite frightened. He held Li You's head and trembled slightly. The cub was still too weak.
Tanyu noticed this and smiled as she pulled him into her arms to comfort him.
Tanuki Yu: "It's one thing to scare me, but there are little cubs too!"
Bai Hao glanced at Jiang Jiang, then at Qiongqi cub Qiong Ruiheng, who was tied up like a dumpling and huddled up behind Li You, before turning his gaze away and helping Qin Nan up.
With outsiders present, Qin Nan recovered, wiped away her tears, and managed to straighten up, though her knees and hands were still numb and painful.
Bai Hao: "I don't know who told you what you said, but I'm sure it's slander. I've never wronged you!"
After explaining helplessly, Bai Hao still felt uneasy.
Bai Hao: "Your memory is faulty. You'll know when you remember. Everything I said is true."
After all, he has no divine power now and doesn't know what happened. For the time being, there is really no other way but to give a sincere explanation.
Looking at Bai Hao's serious expression, Qin Nan believed him a little. Although the two men and two children were strange, they were much more normal than the villagers.
Qin Nan: "Uh, right, that temple keeper took the bride, Wan Niang, away... that..."
Bai Hao: "This matter did happen a long time ago. What you see is reality, but it is also an illusion. The temple keeper died a long time ago."
Qin Nan: "Then, what did I see?"
Bai Hao: "Do you think Liu Village is real?"
Qin Nan: "...It's strange, I feel that the village yesterday is different from the village today."
Bai Hao: "Yes, because it's an illusion, a dream world pieced together from a distant memory, alternating between reality and illusion."
Willow Village does exist, but not as you see it. What you see is Willow Village from thousands of years ago. These so-called villagers are living people, manipulated and rendered unconscious, all in an effort to restore the Willow Village of the past.
Qin Nan: "Why? Who would do this?"
Bai Hao: "It's a long story, and this matter isn't over yet..."
Li You: "Don't explain yet. It'll be troublesome once that temple keeper comes out. Let's get everyone away quickly."
Li You interrupted their conversation. He had felt there was something wrong with the village when he lived nearby, but he kept to himself and never investigated it. If Bai Hao hadn't asked him for help, he really wouldn't have wanted to get involved.
Li You: "Young man, you must be Qin Nan. My name is Li You, Li as in raccoon dog, You as in leisurely. I am Bai Hao's brother."
"Could you do me a favor and watch the kids for a bit? We're going to have a fight later, and I won't be able to look after them then."
As she spoke, Li You tucked the soft and cuddly Jiang Jiang into Qin Nan's arms, and then handed Qin Nan the end of the rope binding Qiong Ruiheng. She and Bai Hao then sped up the transfer of the villagers.
