"Cough cough cough."
Qin Zhen lay on the ground coughing violently, his whole body soaked as if he were a water ghost coming ashore.
The person next to him patted his back and breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Qin, you're awake."
"It's you!"
Qin Zhen looked up and met the eyes of the person who had just arrived, quite surprised: "Qin Feng, what are you doing here?"
"Yes, I just saw... wasn't it..."
Just now, Qin Zhen saw the small pomelo on the crossbeam.
Qin Feng nodded before Qin Feng could finish speaking: "I'll handle tonight's operation myself. Miss Yuzu is still waiting for you at the guesthouse."
"You came by yourself?" Qin Zhen raised her voice.
He really saw the little pomelo just now.
Just then, a gentle breeze blew by.
The chill of the wind that blew against his skin sent shivers down Qin Zhen's spine.
A chilling feeling rushed straight to my brain.
"Yes!" Qin Feng and Xiao Youzi didn't communicate with each other, and he didn't know about Xiao Youzi's situation.
Scratching his head, Qin Feng said, "I searched everywhere inside but couldn't find you. I didn't expect to see something floating in the river just now. I went over to take a look and it was you!"
He was lucky to have stumbled upon this.
As Qin Feng spoke, he helped Qin Zhen up and asked with concern, "How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine." Qin Zhen shivered slightly. "Just now, I saw He Zhen holding Xiao Youzi's handbag. Xiao Youzi came here."
"What!" Qin Feng was shocked. He looked around and said to Qin Zhen, "Let's go, Mr. Qin. I'll take you out first and then come back to find Miss Youzi."
Qin Zhen pressed her hand to her chest: "I can't walk."
"What's going on?" Qin Feng asked, puzzled.
With a slight sigh, Qin Zhen told Qin Feng about He Zhen's use of the love potion on him, and what the love potion was.
Without saying a word, Qin Feng picked up Qin Zhen and said, "In that case, let's find a place to hide and rest here. She's not a GPS, so she shouldn't be able to find your location."
"Um."
Qin Zhen was carried on Qin Feng's back, her voice low and hoarse: "Thank you."
"Mr. Qin, you're too kind." Qin Feng walked away steadily.
He Zhen and her men searched the entire Miao village from top to bottom, but they still couldn't find Qin Zhen's whereabouts.
The man in black robes beside him said tremblingly, "Priest, he wouldn't..."
“No way.” He Zhen immediately denied what the man in black robes said, glaring at him: “There is absolutely no way that Qin Zhen could have escaped.”
"Priestess, he..." The man in the black robe wanted to say that this person ran away as soon as he saw the priestess, clearly indicating that he didn't want to see her.
Unfortunately, he knew that if he spoke out, there would be no good outcome, so he could only quickly stop talking and shut his mouth.
He Zhen glared at him fiercely: "Shut up! You're not allowed to speculate about my relationship with A-Zhen. He won't run away, he won't run away..."
He will die if he leaves her!
"How are you? Are you alright?" After settling Qin Zhen in, Qin Feng went somewhere and found a set of clothes and a blanket.
After changing out of her wet clothes and into dry ones, Qin Zhen wrapped herself in a blanket and said, "I feel okay, but my chest is aching slightly."
"Have you found Little Pomelo?"
Qin Feng shook his head: "Miss Yuzi has disappeared somewhere. I can't find her anywhere."
"Really?" Qin Zhen asked, somewhat disappointed.
"Thump!" A sound came from the other end of the wooden stake, and a small person stood on the stake.
It's a small pomelo.
"Senior brother, Uncle Qin!" Little Youzi quickly ran over to check on Qin Zhen's condition.
Qin Zhen hurriedly asked, "Little Youzi, where did you just go? It's too dangerous here."
"I'm fine." Xiaoyouzi patted her crossbody bag: "I just went to get it back. When that guy in the black robe went to the restroom, I knocked him unconscious."
Qin Feng asked curiously, "How did Miss Yuzu find this place?"
This is a crossbeam located at the bottom of the village, used to support the upper structure and ensure stability.
A building similar to a stilt house.
"I guessed it. There's a safe place not far away, and this is it. There are things blocking the view outside, so you can't see anything." Xiaoyouzi smiled and looked at Qin Zhen, whose expression wasn't very good.
She grabbed Qin Zhen's wrist.
After taking his pulse, Xiao Youzi's expression turned grave: "Senior brother, you've been poisoned."
"Yes, He Zhen said it was a love potion." Qin Zhen said weakly, her eyes closed, her voice barely audible.
Xiao Youzi frowned as she looked at Qin Zhen: "Senior brother, what exactly happened? Did you betray her?"
She preferred to hear her senior brother say it himself rather than calculate it.
Leaning against the wooden post behind him, Qin Zhen said weakly, "It all started with a mission a few years ago..."
