Liu Lao Er turned and left, not even glancing at the poisonous miasma again, as if he didn't want Fu Yunchen to come out of there at all.
Qiao Dongzi stared at Liu Lao Er's retreating figure for a long time without saying a word.
He didn't leave because he felt that the boss was a nine-lived cat demon and would definitely not die so easily.
"Master Qiao, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should," a guard who remained walked up to Qiao Dongzi and said hesitantly.
Qiao Dongzi looked at him and asked, "What's your name?"
"Jin Xin".
"Do you belong?" means within the mountain stronghold, which faction or power group you are aligned with.
Jin Xin denied it, saying, "No."
"Okay, go ahead."
“Last night, I saw Master Liu and Master Xue together. The two of them were behaving intimately in the bushes in the garden.”
"You mean, Xue Niang and Liu Lao Er are having an affair?" Qiao Dongzi narrowed his eyes.
"I am simply stating what I have seen."
"Okay, I understand. You'll work for me later." Informing on someone is also a form of surrender.
"Thank you, Master Qiao." Jin Xin said with a beaming smile.
Qiao Dongzi said, "Go and catch a chicken."
"Yes." Not long after, Jin Xin brought over a pheasant with flapping wings.
Qiao Dongzi said, "Throw it into the miasma."
Jin Xin threw the pheasant into the miasma.
In less than three breaths, the pheasant stopped moving.
"This miasma is extremely poisonous!" Jin Xin exclaimed in fear.
Qiao Dongzi became increasingly worried, thinking, "The eldest brother will surely turn misfortune into good fortune."
As the sound faded, the cries of a child echoed from within the poisonous miasma.
Qiao Dongzi and Jin Xin were both startled. They looked at each other, both seeing surprise on each other's faces.
"Don't cry, Huanhuan. There will be food soon. I promise you, there will be lots and lots of delicious food." Fu Yunchen awkwardly coaxed Huanhuan, who was crying because she was hungry.
Mu Run looked down at Tuan Tuan in her arms, "Are you hungry?" She had brought food with her, but the bundle fell into the Dead River when they were crossing it.
Tuan Tuan nodded. "Hungry."
"Boss—" A faint shout came from outside.
Fu Yunchen breathed a sigh of relief and immediately quickened his pace, rushing out of the miasma almost as fast as he could.
Mu Run felt Fu Yunchen's figure suddenly turn into an illusion and then disappear...
"Wow, this guy can be this fast... wait... isn't he blind? How dare he charge like this?" Thinking of this, Mu Run also gathered his inner strength and followed.
To Qiao Dongzi and Jin Xin's astonishment, Fu Yunchen flew out of the poisonous miasma carrying a little girl who was crying her heart out!
"..."
"..."
Mu Run was a step too late. He carried Tuan Tuan out of the poisonous miasma. "You can't see, so be careful, or you'll get hit again."
When Qiao Dongzi saw Mu Run, he felt even more that his eyes were playing tricks on him, and he rubbed them hard.
"This is...not...you?" He couldn't even speak coherently.
Fu Yunchen carried Huanhuan and walked towards him. "Did you bring any food with you?"
"I have beef jerky." Qiao Dongzi pulled a paper bag from his sleeve, which contained a large handful of beef jerky that was about 70-80% dried. This was an essential item for him when he went out, just in case he missed a meal.
Huanhuan smelled the aroma of the food and immediately reached out, "Give it to me."
Even if Qiao Dongzi didn't understand the current situation, he knew that the first thing to do was to feed the child.
He handed the beef jerky to Huanhuan, saying, "Here, it's a bit hard, but it tastes good."
