"Lu Mian, what do you want to do?" Liu Yi asked tremblingly. At this moment, she was also afraid. She never thought that Lu Qingyan's martial arts skills were so high. Even she and Guo Jianmin together were no match for her.
"What am I doing? Shouldn't I be asking you what you want to do? Liu Yi, we're not even acquainted. When we first came here, I shared a lot of my hunted game with you. Tell me, what is it about me that's bothering you?"
"I...I don't know anything." Guo Jianmin fearfully backed away, but when he tried to move again, he was hit by the stick that Lu Qingyan had snatched from his hand.
Liu Yi's eyes lit up, and she pointed at Guo Jianmin, saying, "It was him, he forced me. He said he wanted to marry you and forced me to help him."
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Lu Qingyan looked at Liu Yi, who was still trying to shirk responsibility, and gently tapped her with the stick: "Do you really think I can't see through your little tricks? You want to ruin my reputation? Then I'll grant your wish first."
As Lu Qingyan spoke, she scattered a handful of powder at the two of them, then deliberately left them disheveled before throwing them into a haystack at the village entrance.
It was almost time; Old Ma would be coming over soon to prepare feed for the cattle and sheep, and he'd definitely spot the two of them then. After settling the two men in, Lu Qingyan clapped her hands and was about to leave when she noticed someone staring intently at her from a short distance away.
Lu Qingyan: "!"
This is it. But the first thought that popped into her mind was whether to drug him or do something else to silence him.
The man was wearing a green military uniform, and his figure was more upright than the cypress trees on both sides of the road.
"I've found you," he said, giving a slight smile.
"Rong Qing?" Lu Qingyan was somewhat surprised. The appearance of the person in front of her was so different from his own. If it weren't for the familiar soul aura, she might not have recognized the person in front of her as Rong Qing at all.
"It's me," Rong Qing said, then asked about the situation with Lu Qingyan and the other two. Rong Qing knew Lu Qingyan well; she would never do anything without a reason.
"What else could it be? It's just that person trying to use the same method on me. Let's hurry up and get out of here, we absolutely can't let anyone see us."
With that, he pulled Rong Qing into the mountains.
"I remember you know some herbs too, so please pick some for me," Lu Qingyan said without any politeness.
"Okay, I'll pick them for you." Rong Qing smiled, his hands continuing to work.
"When I arrived here, I found myself in a military camp. I came out because of a mission. I was wondering where to look for you, but I didn't expect you to be here." Rong Qing was extremely grateful: "Luckily, I didn't change the mission back then, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to find you."
Lu Qingyan paused in her rubbing of herbs: "Are you having a hard time over there?"
In this life, he could never be a high-ranking commander; at most, he would be a lowly officer. Lu Qingyan didn't know if he felt wronged or not; she just wanted to ask if he was working too hard.
"It's alright," Rong Qing said vaguely. "I'm quite familiar with that kind of environment, so I haven't had any trouble adjusting. How about you?"
“I’m fine too,” Lu Qingyan said. “At this time of year, the countryside is almost the best option. I’m not going to the military camp like you.”
