Dashao Village 10
Gu Qingqu fell asleep again. Qin Yan sat up quietly, and the fatigue all over his body was swept away. He was about to get out of bed but found that his wrist was still held by Gu Qingqu. Qin Yan carefully pried his fingers apart, and Gu Qingqu, who was originally sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes. Qin Yan whispered, "I'm going to the toilet and will be back soon."
Gu Qingqu then let him go and closed his eyes again. Qin Yan was puzzled as he looked at his tired appearance. Could this be the aftereffect of the control technique?
Qin Yan came outside. It was bright outside. The people who were discussing future plans in the yard heard the voices and saw Qin Yan coming out. They shouted, "Master!"
Qin Yan nodded and asked about the location of the toilet. The leader took him away, and on the way he was still sighing, "You two brothers have such a good relationship. Your younger brother has been watching over you during the days you were unconscious. I tried to persuade him several times but it didn't work. If you didn't wake up, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on."
Qin Yan was a little surprised when he heard this, "Have I slept for a long time?"
"You've been sleeping for five days," the leader said with his hand out in an exaggerated tone, "We all thought you were going to die."
"It's not that serious." Qin Yan now recalled what happened before. Apart from being a little tired, it was okay.
The leader said: "The doctor has come to see him and said there is no hope."
Qin Yan was very surprised. The leader continued, "It's good that you woke up. It's good that you woke up."
As they were talking, they arrived at the toilet. The man in the lead went out, and Qin Yan went back to accompany Gu Qingqu after he finished peeing. Gu Qingqu slept uneasily, tossing and turning. Qin Yan patted his shoulder and said softly, "It's okay, go to sleep."
Gu Qingqu stopped moving then. After a while, Gu Qingqu's hand stretched out from the quilt again. Qin Yan saw the marks of binding on his wrist at a glance. The skin was worn and scabbed. He felt a little distressed and pulled his hand and put it into the quilt.
Gu Qingqu slept for two days, and Qin Yan also stayed with him for two days. Gu Qingqu coughed first, and Qin Yan looked over and happened to see him open his eyes. Qin Yan asked, "How do you feel?"
Gu Qingqu blinked and said, "Water"
Qin Yan poured him a glass of water and handed it to him, "Moisten your throat, your mouth is all chapped."
Gu Qingqu slowly finished drinking the water and handed the cup to him. Qin Yan took it and asked, "Do you want to drink more?"
Gu Qingqu shook his head and then asked, "How long have I slept?"
"Two days"
Gu Qingqu stretched and sat up from the bed. "I have slept for too long and my body is not flexible anymore."
Qin Yan reached out to help him, "I'll help you"
Gu Qingqu put his hand on his. His legs felt a little weak after standing up after sleeping for a long time. Qin Yan supported him by the waist, his tone unable to hide his worry, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay. Just walk around after sleeping for a long time."
The two of them came to the dam to bask in the sun. The villagers had already packed their luggage and were ready to leave the mountain. When they saw them coming out, they asked, "When are you two going to leave the mountain?"
Qin Yan took into consideration Gu Qingqu's health and replied, "Rest for two more days."
The villagers looked embarrassed and discussed with him: "Master, the ten-day period is up. Can we rest while walking?"
Gu Qingqu turned his head to look at Qin Yan and said softly: "I have rested well, you don't have to worry about me"
Qin Yan didn't believe what he said, "But you almost fell down just now."
The villagers said: "We have bullock carts, so we don't have to walk."
Qin Yan was relieved when he heard there was a car. The villagers were in a hurry and even prepared to eat lunch on the way. Qin Yan could see that they couldn't wait to get out of the mountain.
Qin Yan asked curiously: "Why are you in such a hurry to get out of the mountain?"
The leading villager replied: "Buy a property and settle down, find a job to make a living, now we don't farm anymore and we feel anxious because we have nothing to do every day."
Qin Yan said: "You all have so much money, but you are still panicking?"
The leading villager said: "It looks like a lot, but outside the mountains there is no land to grow anything and it costs money."
Qin Yan asked again: "Why don't you just stay in the mountains if you are under so much pressure? The ghost lady is dead, and you won't be in trouble anymore."
The leading villager smiled and replied: "Our ancestors have lived in the mountains for generations. Which generation would envy the people outside the mountains? But there is not even a private school in the mountains. There will always be a generation that will take this step."
The sun was high in the sky, shining warmly on the faces of the villagers. They looked into the distance with infinite longing. The mountains that their ancestors had never climbed were now under their feet, and this was just the starting point. They would keep walking and walking until the sun set.
When they passed by Ren's house when leaving the village, they were holding a funeral and all wore white cloth on their heads. When they saw Qin Yan, they came over to thank him, "I was in a hurry before and didn't have time to thank you for saving my life."
Qin Yan felt something was wrong, "Do you still remember?"
Ren Shenxing said: "I will never forget the master's life-saving grace."
Qin Yan turned his head to look at Gu Qingqu, who gave him an awkward smile. Qin Yan immediately understood that the amnesia was all a lie. But now is not the time to bring up old grudges, so Qin Yan exchanged a few polite words with the Ren family and then set off.
After leaving the village, Qin Yan whispered to Gu Qingqu and jokingly said, "Oh, other people have funerals when their wives die, so why don't you hold one, Master Gu?"
Gu Qingqu simply leaned his head on his shoulder and pretended to be dead, but Qin Yan had no intention of letting him go. He imitated his tone and said, "Ning'er is my wife. I will only love her in this life."
Gu Qingqu's hair stood on end when he heard the pretentious tone. He retorted, "I never said such a person."
"Ask the people present who didn't hear it," Qin Yan asked loudly, "You..." Gu Qingqu quickly covered his mouth, "Okay, okay, I was controlled, I did it against my will."
Qin Yan pulled down his hand and didn't respond. "How do you prove that you are not sincere? I can see that you are sincere."
Gu Qingqu said: "I can swear"
Qin Yan asked: "Who are you swearing to?"
Gu Qingqu replied: "Emperor of Heaven"
“That doesn’t work.”
They are all your acquaintances and will definitely help you.
Gu Qingqu sighed, "Yes, although I lost my mind and said things I shouldn't have said, but when I woke up and saw myself locked in a dark coffin house, I was so scared that I lost two of my three souls, and the remaining soul was almost burned to death."
The more Gu Qingqu spoke, the more aggrieved he felt, and his voice became lower and lower. Qin Yan, who had been happily teasing him, was now completely countered. He even began to imagine Gu Qingqu's miserable condition, alone in the dark coffin room, crying out to the heavens and the earth for help but getting no response. He was afraid of the dark, ghosts, and demons.
Qin Yan was speechless, his heart full of guilt. He patted Gu Qingqu's shoulder and promised solemnly, "I will never abandon you again."
Gu Qingqu lowered his head and said nothing. Qin Yan put his arm around his shoulders, not knowing how to comfort him. After all, everything had happened, and it would be futile to say more.
Just when Qin Yan's heart was overwhelmed by guilt, Gu Qingqu suddenly reached out and hugged him, "Well, I will forgive you this time."
His voice was heavily nasal, and one could tell from his voice that he was enduring a great deal of grievance. Qin Yan also hugged him and responded very seriously.
The oxcart moved slowly. It was already night when it passed Dadie Village. Qin Yan keenly sensed the smell of blood in the air. Something happened in Dadie Village. Qin Yan pulled Gu Qingqu off the oxcart and said to the villagers: "Something happened here. If you want to ensure your safety, stop first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard hurried footsteps approaching. Gu Qingqu clung to Qin Yan's arm tightly. With the help of the torchlight, Qin Yan saw that the people running away were actually the two brothers Cui Chihu and Cui Chibao. The villagers were on high alert and were about to rush up to beat them up. Qin Yan quickly said, "They are all acquaintances."
When the brothers Cui Chihu and Cui Chibao saw Qin Yan, their eyes lit up and they ran to him faster. Because they ran too fast, they fell down and fell straight in front of Qin Yan. Qin Yan squatted down and asked, "What happened?"
Cui Chibao panted heavily, "He. They..."
After a long while, Cui Chihu said while trying to hold back his breath: "Someone massacred the village. We ran out, but we were also exposed. However, we were familiar with the forest and ran ahead of them."
The villagers were also frightened when they heard about the massacre and asked quickly, "Who is it?"
Cui Chihu shook his head. "I only saw them wearing night clothes and covering their faces. They were very good at martial arts, as if they had been trained."
The villagers all looked at Qin Yan. Qin Yan thought about it and realized that he couldn't retreat now. "How many people came?"
Cui Chihu said: "About thirty people"
so much? Qin Yan frowned slightly. At this time, the sound of wind coming from the quiet forest was the killer chasing him. Qin Yan asked the villagers to put out the torches and hide in the forest, while he and the two brothers of the Cui family waited there.
Only one torch was left, and its brightness dropped instantly. Darkness quickly gathered around the center of light. The torch swayed in the wind, and the wind pulled darkness and light together. Gu Qingqu called out softly, "Qin Yan!"
Qin Yan hugged his shoulders and comforted him softly, "Don't be afraid, I have a trick up my sleeve."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people in black suddenly appeared, forming a semicircle and surrounding Qin Yan and the other four. Qin Yan asked coldly, "Who are you?"
The man in black replied: "The dead don't need to know so much."
Qin Yan took out a long sword from the Chaos Stone Ring to shock everyone. The black-clothed men were all shocked to see him transform things out of thin air. The leading black-clothed man said coldly: "Don't be afraid of evil magic, let's see the real thing with our own hands."
Qin Yan said: "It's just a little trick, look how scared you are. To be honest, we have no grudges against each other, and it's not a life-and-death situation. Let's take a step back and let these two people go. I guarantee that they will hide their identities and never appear in public again."
The leader of the men in black said: "This is impossible. We are here to kill them. If they live, we will be the ones to die."
Qin Yan took out a chair from the Chaos Stone Ring and sat down. The man in black was shocked again. Qin Yan said, "If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who would know they are alive?"
The man in black asked, "Can you promise not to tell?"
Qin Yan replied: "Not only will he not tell them, he will also take them away from here and hide. After all, the enemy is so powerful, no one wants to die in vain, right?"
The man in black hesitated but still hadn't made up his mind. Qin Yan took out the Fu Ze Pan from the Chaos Stone Ring and held it in his hand. The leader of the men in black recognized him immediately and his pupils shrank slightly. "King cobra?"
Qin Yan praised, "You have good eyesight."
At this time, a man in black said: "It's not moving, it's dead"
Qin Yan curled his lips, "Then do you dare to let it take a bite?"
The man in black asked, "Then do you dare to let him move?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Ze arched his body. Qin Yan raised his eyes and looked at the leader of the men in black with confidence, "Give me a definite answer whether you agree or not, or I'll turn off the lights." He shook Fu Ze in his hand and said, "I have plenty of these little things. It'll only take a blink of an eye to give you two tooth marks."
