After talking for a while, she was already tired, so she obediently lay down and rested.

Before closing his eyes, he did not forget to tell him: "Jingchen, it's so late, you should go and rest quickly."

Seeing the scars on his face, he knew that he had suffered a lot in order to find her.

He smiled and nodded: "I'll go to sleep when you fall asleep."

She smiled back, then closed her eyes.

The experience of the past two days has exhausted her physically and mentally. At this moment, she just wants to have a good sleep and talk about other things after she wakes up.

Mu Jingchen sat by the bed, staring at her quietly, until she fell asleep, and then walked out lightly.

At the door, Shao Ming, who was dozing off, heard the sound and immediately opened his eyes soberly.

"Boss, is Madam awake?"

"Well, I woke up. She is weak and needs a lot of rest. You don't have to stay here. Just leave two of you and the rest go to rest."

"it is good."

After arranging the brothers who were on duty at night, Shao Ming planned to go back to his room to rest, but seeing the boss still standing there, he turned back again.

"Boss, you haven't closed your eyes for two days, so hurry up and go to sleep. If there is anything wrong with Madam, we will report to you immediately."

"Go and rest, don't worry about me."

Mu Jingchen went downstairs and came to the gate, looking at the night sky worriedly.

The ancient town has been cloudy for the past two days. Even the shadows of the moon and stars cannot be seen at night. At this hour, the entire ancient town is shrouded in darkness, which makes people feel very depressing.

His mood is also like the sky, it is difficult to calm down and relax.

Shao Ming followed him downstairs, saw that he was in a bad mood, and asked puzzledly: "Boss, Madam has been rescued, why do you seem to be worried?"

He slowly withdrew his eyes, did not explain anything, but changed the subject instead.

"Lin Ze and the others are back?"

"The road they went to was a dead end. They came back early yesterday morning, but they were attacked by poisonous insects on the way. Several of them were poisoned. Dr. Huo had detoxified them before, but the poison was too strong. They couldn't get out of bed for days, so they didn't have time to come back."

Mu Jingchen nodded.

"Let them take care of themselves first. By the way, is there any news from Officer Meng?"

"Not yet. According to his subordinates who stayed in the town, after Police Officer Meng led people into the secret passage, he hasn't come out yet."

Hearing this news, Mu Jingchen frowned.

The cave was full of dangers, if they hadn't been so lucky, it would have been impossible for them to come out alive. Police Officer Meng and the others have not heard of it so far, so it may be a disaster.

After thinking about it, he ordered: "Find a map of this place and give it to me."

Shao Ming didn't ask why, and immediately responded: "Yes!"

early morning.

Mu Jingchen spread the map Shao Ming found on the table.

This map has been around for some years, and most of the routes on it are blurred, but you can still see the general appearance of the ancient town and the surrounding environment of the ancient town.

Mu Jingchen scanned the map with his eyes, and finally stopped at the mountain closest to the ancient town.

"According to the rough calculation of the time when the secret path arrived at the cave, the cave should be here."

Shao Ming took a closer look, and then said, "According to the distance on this map, it will take at least several days to get from the ancient town to this mountain. By the time we find it, Cheng Cui may have already escaped."

Mu Jingchen pondered for a while, then said, "Not necessarily."

Shao Ming didn't understand: "Why? She knew we were looking for her, so why would she still obediently wait to die?"

"It's not waiting to die, it's because she can't leave for the time being."

Mu Jingchen pointed to a certain place on the map and continued: "According to her location, if she wants to leave this mountain, she can only go by water. As far as I know, the boatman in the ancient town only goes out once a month, and this month the boatman She has already been out of the boat, so there is no boat to ferry her away, and if she wants to leave here, she can only wait until next month."

Shao Ming nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Boss, why do you know so much about the situation in the ancient town?"

"Some time ago, Liyue had fetal gas. We sought medical treatment from old doctor Huo, but the hospital where he was staying was closed. After inquiring, we found out that he went out to visit relatives on the day when the boatman left the boat in January."

"So that's the case, Boss, then I'll call my brothers and set off immediately to capture Cheng Cui alive!"

"Ah."

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence: "Just send a few people there, and the rest stay and pay attention to the movement around."

Shao Ming was taken aback.

"Boss, do you think Cheng Cui will come back?"

"She is more familiar with this place than we are. Perhaps, there are other ways to return to that cave. Besides, she hasn't reached her goal yet, so she might take the risk and take precautions."

Mu Jingchen was thoughtful, and Shao Ming gave him an admiring look.

"Boss, you're still thoughtful, I'll go down and make arrangements."

-

Early the next morning.

Huangfu Liyue was awakened by the sound of the door opening.

She sat up abruptly and looked towards the door vigilantly.

When he saw that it was Mu Jingchen, the alertness in his eyes disappeared.

"Jingchen, it turned out to be you."

She hadn't been so careful for a long time, maybe it was because of the experience in the cave these two days that made her sensitive to these small voices again.

Mu Jingchen noticed her carelessness, and there was distress in his eyes.

"I was planning to call you, but I didn't expect you to wake up."

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, he walked to the bed calmly, and asked, "How do you feel now, is it better than before?"

Huangfu Liyue moved her body and told him how she felt at this moment: "It's much better, but I still don't have any strength in my body. I think it should be the sequelae of being poisoned before. It will be fine after a period of cultivation."

He covered her with the quilt tightly, and said: "Then don't move around these days, lie down and rest well, if there is anything, Madam will tell you."

"it is good."

As soon as the words fell, her stomach growled twice.

"Are you hungry?"

Before she could speak, Mu Jingchen looked towards the door: "Bring it in."

Shao Ming came in with breakfast.

"Ma'am, Old Doctor Huo told you that your diet must be light during this time, so I will wrong you to eat some porridge and side dishes."

Huangfu Liyue smiled easy-goingly: "The old man is doing it for my own good, if there is any grievance or not, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, it's all what it should be."

Shao Ming put the food on the table and walked out immediately.
