Chapter 52
A white eagle spread its wings and flew out of a side window. It circled in the air continuously, and its high-pitched cry made the hare that had just emerged from the burrow tremble.
The other party spoke so naturally that Yan Fu almost mistakenly believed that the toxins that he had barely suppressed by taking the Five Spirit Pills that could cure almost all poisons in the world were actually common diseases that could be cured in any ordinary clinic.
However, it’s not that he doesn’t trust the ability of the person the other person is talking about. It’s just that he and Lou Qi were just casual acquaintances. Yan Yu couldn’t understand why Lou Qi would go to so much trouble to help him?
After all, if they had not met that night in the ruined temple, he would never have been able to slack off in front of her, and the reason was simply the sense of danger brought by the other person. When life and death become the most common things, the emotions that will not be affected by it are chilling.
Lou Qi once admired Yan Fu's eyes, and Yan Fu was also attracted by his eyes. His eyes seemed to have a magical power that could calm down those irritable emotions, but those eyes were like an unpredictable source, hiding all the dangers in the darkness. If you were deceived by the calmness on the surface, as long as you took a step forward, you would end up in pieces.
Yan Qi, who had fallen off the cliff before, unconsciously took a few steps back away from the abyss. He kept speculating in his heart about the purpose of Lou Qi's doing this. Could it be that the other party knew his identity, or was the person in front of him sent by someone to deliberately approach him? Thinking of this, there was a hint of ambiguous light in his eyes when he looked at Lou Qi. Compared with the fragility when he was unconscious, now he had a bit of madness as if he was pointing a sword at Lou Qi in a pool of blood.
As Yan Fu did not respond for a long time, a strange silence fell between the two of them. Under Yan Fu's gaze, Lou Qi, who originally had no expression, actually became evasive and even his expression became a little unnatural.
All of Lou Qi's subtle expressions were seen by Yan Yu, which made his heart sink. Just as he lowered his eyes and head, he heard the other party's voice again.
"So you can read the map and find Yu?"
Louqi said this very quickly, and there seemed to be some uneasiness in his voice.
Yan Fu, who noticed this trace of uneasiness, raised his head with some hesitation. However, after seeing those eyes that were obviously full of expectation, he didn't know what to say for a moment. Thinking of the map with clear and simple markings, he nodded.
Louqi's eyes lit up slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly unconsciously.
Yan Yu's expression suddenly became extremely strange.
.
The mountains are far and near, and the roads are slanting.
A horse-drawn carriage drove out from the forest road. The tall horse was snow-white without a single strand of hair, with strong and powerful limbs, and was extremely handsome.
"Shopkeeper, I want a jug of water."
He stopped at a tea stall nearby, took out a kettle and a copper plate from the carriage and handed them to the owner.
"Sir, one copper plate is enough." The old man in coarse cloth looked at the three copper plates handed over and said quickly, with his head lowered, as if he didn't dare to look at Lou Jian.
Although this is a tea stall, there are also many travelers passing by on their way back and forth. The tea stall is a small business, and the tea used is naturally not very good. Many people are not used to drinking such rough tea, so selling tea is also one of the sources of income for the tea stall.
"It's okay, please fill the water tank." Lou Qi said softly.
"Thank you, sir." The old man was a little hesitant at first, but when he saw that the other party was not dressed like an ordinary person, he stopped refusing, took the copper plate and the kettle, and turned to fetch water.
Yan Yu sat in the carriage, lifted up one side of the curtain, and looked thoughtfully at Lou Qi who was buying water for him.
After a few days of hard work, he had gotten to know the other party's temper. Lou Qi's expressionless look was indeed intimidating, but his temper was surprisingly good.
It was a relatively easy thing to travel with the other person. Yan Fu did not have to explain what happened that day, and the other person would not ask anything about him. It was just that sometimes when the other person stared at his eyes in a daze, Yan Fu could not help but be curious about what the other person was thinking.
"Sir, please take your water."
After the water was drawn, Yan Yu lowered the curtains. As the carriage started to move, he thought, he hoped that the shopkeeper Shen, whose full name he had just learned from Louqi not long ago, was not as taciturn as Louqi. Although there were only two of them on the journey, there were quite a few times when one of them talked to himself.
Yan Yu observed the map in his hand, and after estimating the distance, he raised his voice slightly and said, "At the fork in the road ahead, turn right."
After feeling the direction of the carriage change, he said again without looking up: "It's the other way around."
Louqi, who was driving outside, pulled the reins in his hands expressionlessly and readjusted the direction.
Such little episodes have happened countless times. It only took Yan Fu a day to go from being surprised at first to getting used to it.
Fortunately, the other party knew that Yan Fu was half a patient and did not let Yan Fu drive the car. However, as a half patient, Yan Fu seemed to realize why Lou Qi was so enthusiastic about detoxifying himself. If Lou Qi were to rely on himself, with his very impressive sense of direction, he might not be able to find the correct location of the inn even after several months.
However, after knowing that the other party needed him, Yan Yu felt a lot more relieved. Compared with the exchange of interests, he was more afraid of true feelings.
