After Yunling walked a few steps away, she felt a faint smell of blood on the tip of her nose.

There are many trees in the mountains and the air is crisp and smells good. This turbid smell of blood is particularly unusual.

She looked around, expecting some injured beast nearby, but found none.

After walking some distance, the smell of blood still lingered.

"Lao Qi, do you smell the fishy smell? It seems like the smell of blood?"

Lao Qi was carrying a sack of Tongtuo wood cores, and his nose was full of the smell of Tongtuo wood. He couldn't even smell it even after sniffing it.

He took a few steps closer to Yunling and looked around cautiously.

Until he got close to Yunling, he could vaguely smell the smell of blood.

Lao Qi looked Yunling up and down, "Miss, are you injured?"

"No."

Yunling was quite frightened by what he said. She quickly stretched out her hands and feet to check herself, for fear of being bitten by some snake or insect hiding in the dark.

If she hadn't made money by cutting out the core of the fallen wood to make hairpins, and being accompanied by someone like Lao Qi who knew martial arts, she really wouldn't have had the courage to step into the unruly forest.

"Don't move!" Lao Qi was condescending and soon discovered the source of the bloody smell - it was Yunling's hair.

At this moment, fantasy novels such as ghost-faced spiders and marrow-eating ants flew through Yunling's mind.

Wow, why does Lao Qi keep staring at her head with such a solemn expression? Is her head okay?

Lao Qi put his hand into Yunling's hair.

"Lao Qi..." Yunling was afraid that he would drag down a big insect.

Lao Qi frowned and twirled his fingers, "Miss, this is not your blood."

Hearing this, Yunling relaxed, stretched out her hand to support the tree trunk next to her and gasped, "It scared me to death."

Lao Qi said: "Miss, let's go back and take a look. The blood on your hair should be from birds and beasts in the woods passing by. Let's go pick it up. If it's an unusual game, we can sell it to a restaurant." I can get some money."

Lao Qi had also thought about hunting for money, but the mountains and forests near the official road were all short forests, and there were no wild animals that could be sold for money, and it was impossible for him to leave the Tang family and go out hunting on his own.

But since there is an injured prey that bumps into it, if you don't pick it up, it will be in vain. This is a gift from God.

Yunling thought it was disgusting to have the blood of wild beasts in her hair, but after hearing Lao Qi's words that she could exchange money, she felt that this was not blood, but the God of Wealth was showing the way.

So, the two walked back along the original road.

There was no need for them to search hard. When they returned to the place where the bark of the tree was burned, they saw a big black moth falling from the crown of the tree.

There is a big difference between a person suddenly jumping down and launching a sneak attack, and an injured person falling down due to exhaustion.

Lao Qi rushed over and grabbed the person, relieved the force of the fall, and placed the person gently on the ground.

Even though Zhou Qiong had changed into a night-walking costume with her head and face covered, she could be recognized at a glance just by her exposed eyes.

Lao Qi checked it and said, "There is a knife wound on the arm. The knife must have been quenched with poison."

Yunling sighed secretly.

What kind of wild thing is this? It's obviously a big trouble.

She didn't know if it was because she was not compatible with Zhou Qiong, but every time the young man in front of her appeared in front of her, he always showed some blood when he wore clothes of other colors instead of red.

Now dressed in black, he obviously went out to commit a thief in the middle of the night...

"Is this poison powerful? Will it kill you?" she asked.

Lao Qi stretched out his hand and rolled Zhou Qiong's eyelids, "It should be fine. There is more blood flowing from the wound to the bones, but less toxins enter the blood vessels."

He raised his hand and tore off Zhou Qiong's clothes, and tied his arm tightly to prevent further bleeding.

"Then he won't die, right?"

"You've been able to survive until now, so you probably won't be able to do it anymore, right? People of this status should be protected by secret guards, and they might be here soon."

Yunling and Lao Qi looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts. They turned around and left in unison.

After taking a few steps, Yunling's footsteps stopped involuntarily.

She remembered the dream she had when she first traveled through time.

In other words, she thought it was a dream, but in fact it should be a real falling into the water.

Conscience is such a thing, I really wish I didn’t have it.

However, she still has it and can't throw it away.

He stopped helplessly and said to Lao Qi: "How about we wait here, in case his blood attracts other beasts..."

Lao Qi thought for a while and asked, "If I don't save people, will the eldest lady regret it?"

Yunling sighed, "I will regret it, but I am also afraid that our family will get into trouble because of this. If it were just me, I would definitely not ignore it."

"Then help. We can't wait any longer. Who knows whether the rescuer or the executioner will come later?"

Lao Qi casually cut a few vines, made a simple stretcher, put it on a sack and dragged it along. He walked back to the original place and carried Zhou Qiong on his back.

"Lao Qi, with his special status and his current appearance, he must be in trouble. Are you worried about our family in the future..."

Lao Qi smiled and shook his head: "Miss, I know your concerns. To be disrespectful, we are a family. Since we are a family, we are willing to pay the price for each other's choices. If you want to save the eldest lady, go and save him. The old man didn’t think that much when he rescued me..."

As if he had missed something, Lao Qi added, "The five gangsters and our carriage are all thanks to Prince Zhou. We must not forget our roots as human beings. Now it is not only the eldest lady who is saving me, but I also want to save him. If the old man knows about it, he will definitely save it. Let’s try to be careful, and it should be fine.”

The two returned to the carriage.

It is said that horses understand human nature. When they saw Zhou Qiong, their "old master", the horse's hooves raised up as if they were about to step on him.

"Hey, it's still a little tempered!" Lao Qi raised his hand and smoothed its fur.

The horse puffed and breathed hot air, as if it was still accusing something.

"Okay, we have to go back to the old man quickly for help, otherwise your former master will be in danger."

The black horse ran very fast, and the dust on the official road was flying, covering many traces of its travel.

Lao Qi held the reins with one hand and took out a handful of stones from his pocket with the other hand. He would throw some out every few distances, artificially making some opposite driving marks.

But Zhou Qiong's body temperature in the carriage continued to drop, as if his vitality was passing away.

Yunling lifted his eyelids and found that his pupils gradually began to dilate.

Yunling didn't care whether he could hear it or not, and said anxiously: "I said, weren't you quite tolerant when you were in the forest? Why did you look like you were going to the west just after I rescued you? I, I have to warn you. , don’t frighten me by repaying kindness with vengeance, okay?”

The carriage jolted violently, and Zhou Qiong was thrown onto Yunling's shoulder while she was half-lying.

"Mother."

she heard him shout.
