Chapter 83 Authentic

After going around in circles, Qin Er discovered a secret passage leading to an unknown direction under the wooden house in the small courtyard.

The secret passage is empty, narrow, and extremely damp, barely large enough for one person to pass through.

Yun Xi looked at the dark tunnel and couldn't help but murmur in her heart.

In such a narrow tunnel, if the other party deliberately left something to deal with them, there would really be no place to hide.

"Master, I'm going to explore the way first." Qin Er expressed his thoughts without hesitation.

Qin Yi looked at him with a rare flash of approval and encouragement in his eyes.

Yunxi wants to be the person who explores the road, and she has confidence in her own abilities and strength.

Among everyone, she knows poison and can cure it. Her only weakness may be that her skills are not as good as those perverted ancients who have been practicing martial arts since childhood.

But she has a silver needle in her hand, so it's not like she can't fight with him. If he's really defeated, she can also poison the opponent. She still has a certain degree of confidence in her own strength index.

But all these advantages ceased to exist when he saw the man guarding him.

Yun Xi didn't say anything. She knew that this man would not agree to her taking the risk.

In order to ensure Qin Er's safety to the maximum extent, Yun Xi decided to prepare some small medicines for him that could save his life at critical moments.

Qin Er took them one by one, feeling warm and moved in his heart.

Yun Xi stared at his back and said, "Don't worry, be careful."

Qin Yi found a bundle of ropes made of vines from somewhere and threw it awkwardly at Qin Er's feet.

"Tie it up."

Qin Er was used to being careless, and coupled with the habit of following orders he had developed over the years, he tied one end of the vine rope around his waist as Qin Yi asked without even a single question.

Qin Yi waved to him, indicating that he could leave.

After Qin Er left, the vine rope on the ground became smaller and smaller. Qin Yi and Qin Mufeng looked at each other, grabbed the other end of the rope, and walked into the tunnel.

"Be careful and yell if necessary."

Qin Mufeng's instructions made Qin Yi feel warm in his heart, and his steps seemed to become more determined.

"Let's go too." Yun Xi said, looking at the empty tunnel.

"There's no rush, it's not too late to wait until Qin Er sends the signal before leaving."

In the tunnel, Qin Er held a torch and pricked up his ears to pay attention to the movements in the secret passage.

That cautious look really makes people associate him with the careless person he usually is.

"Boss, is that you?" Qin Er pulled the vine tied around his waist.

Qin Yihui pulled it, raised his voice and said loudly: "Concentrate, don't be careless."

Facts proved that everyone's worries were completely unnecessary, Qin Er walked out of the secret passage unimpeded.

After coming out, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was not in a hurry to send a signal to Qin Mufeng.

He put his hand on the vine at his waist and paused for a moment. He was afraid that it would make Qin Yi worried because he didn't understand it, so he didn't untie it.

Qin Er walked around the tunnel entrance, checked the surrounding situation, and found nothing unusual, then took off the signal flare from his body and launched it into the air.

Little did he know that everything he did was clearly seen by a pair of eyes hidden in the dark.

Almost at the same time that the signal bomb exploded in the sky, Qin Yi also walked out smoothly while holding on to the wall.

Compared with Qin Er's ease, Qin Yi looked much more embarrassed because he was injured and had walked such a long distance.

He was sweating profusely, his face was pale, and his hands on the wall were shaking slightly.

Upon seeing this, Qin Er hurried over to pick him up. When he saw the vines around his waist, he later realized that he had just walked too fast.

He was a little annoyed and blamed himself in his heart.

"I'm sorry, boss. I forgot that you were injured and had difficulty moving. Why didn't you remind me?"

Qin Yi listened to his words that were called complaints but were actually self-blame, and he tried his best to twitch his lips: "It's okay, I can still hold on."

On the other side, Qin Mufeng, who saw the signal bomb fired by Qin Er, took Yun Xi into the secret passage with peace of mind, and soon walked out to join Qin Yi and two others.

"Xi'er?"

"Ah? What's wrong?"

Qin Mufeng looked at the obviously distracted person and smiled helplessly: "I'm asking you if you eat fish?"

"Oh, okay." Yun Xi said absentmindedly.

"What were you thinking so absorbed in? I called you several times but you didn't hear me."

Yun Xi glanced at the empty surroundings, suppressed the inexplicable illusion of being watched in her heart, smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, maybe I'm too tired and nervous."

Qin Mufeng naturally held her slightly cold hand, and when he spoke again, his voice was extremely gentle: "Don't be afraid, we are safe."

A warm current spread from their intertwined hands to her heart, dispelling the fatigue all over her body.

"Thanks."

"Silly madam, how can you be so polite to your husband?"

Yun Xi glanced at the big hands that brought her countless warmth and peace of mind, and for the first time she felt lustful.

She thought, it didn't matter, so she let him hold her hand for a while longer, and when she returned to Lijing City, she took the He Li Shu and settled things down.

Before that, let’s just give each other a good memory of this inappropriate relationship.

Qin Mufeng, who knew nothing about this, was a little happy. His Xi'er did not refute him this time, let alone break away from his hand.

He held her hand tightly, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world.

"Xi'er, I'm very happy."

Yun Xi just smiled and said nothing.

She thought, that's it. Call her timid or selfish. At this moment, she just wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.

Qin Mufeng and others climbed up the mountain and discovered that the tunnel and the cave they had just walked into the valley were exactly at the east and west ends of the mountain at their feet.

Everyone went down the mountain and met Qin Ba, Tongtong and others.

"Go back first, Qin Er, and you will lead someone to clean up the things in the cave and the group of piranha flowers." Qin Mufeng gave the order with a solemn expression.

"The clues have been cut off, do you still plan to continue the investigation?" Yun Xi asked with some uncertainty.

Qin Mufeng's steps slowed down a beat. For some reason, she was clearly by his side and did not reject him, but he still felt a little panicked for no reason.

He subconsciously clenched the little hand in his hand and rubbed the delicate and soft back of her hand with his thumb.

"Xi'er is homesick?"

Do you want to? It seems not, but she still nodded against her will.

"I've been out for too long and I miss my grandma a little bit."

"Then let's go back, collect the tax, and then set off back to Lijing."

Yun Xi's reaction was a little surprised, as if she didn't expect him to say that.

Qin Mufeng looked at her cute look, and his heart felt so soft. He raised his other hand and gently rubbed her head: "What's wrong? Are you so happy?"

Yun Xi's face suddenly turned red, and her heart beat rapidly.

This feeling, like having a rabbit in her arms, was strange yet familiar, which made her a little confused and also vaguely scared.

In a hurry, she broke free from the opponent's grasp, turned around and ran away.

You are stupid! Your whole family is stupid.
