Chapter 101 It's OK if it tastes bad

Xu Qingcheng and Xiao Mingxuan had always been at odds with each other, and at this moment they were glaring at each other like fighting cocks. He got angry and subconsciously picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all. After he drank it, he stared at the glass for two long moments and suddenly fell silent.

Liu Yuan: “…”

If the occasion wasn't inappropriate, he would have wanted to beat this pighead to death.

Xihe blinked her eyes and resigned herself to her fate as she went looking for the detoxification pill prepared in the space. Fortunately, she found one in a corner. It seemed to be a defective product left over from one of her medicine refining sessions.

Xihe was silent for a while, then secretly stuffed the medicine into Liu Yuan's arms, the meaning was self-evident.

It doesn't matter if it tastes bad, she won't eat it anyway~

Liu Yuan glanced down casually, then put the medicine into his sleeve.

As night fell, the sound of a few crows cawed outside, which seemed particularly terrifying in the dark.

Ning Jiang glanced outside and said, "It's getting dark and difficult to travel. I guess the people you brought won't arrive until tomorrow. Why don't you stay at my Dafeng Village today? That way, I can show my hospitality as a good host."

Xihe quietly tugged at Liu Yuan's sleeve and thought to himself, "Don't stay, go!"

Unexpectedly, Liu Yuan turned a deaf ear to him, pulled his sleeves out of the little girl's arms, and responded with a smile, "Then there is Lao Ning, the head of the family. However, the child is still young and afraid of the dark at night, so there is no need to arrange for him to live separately. He can just live with us."

It is natural for children to be afraid of the dark, so Ning Jiang agreed without thinking too much, "Of course, of course, please come in, my dear guest."

The four of them were arranged in a courtyard. Before closing the door, Xu Qingcheng looked outside and shook his head. "There are people, but they are far away."

The fake smile that Liu Yuan had been wearing all afternoon suddenly disappeared without a trace. He rubbed his face, stood up, poured a cup of tea, and extinguished the incense burner beside him with his backhand.

Soon, wisps of green smoke floated out from the gaps in the incense burner.

"You're really careful. You know how to use some incense." Liu Yuan put down the cup, stood up and walked to Xu Qingcheng, and said straight to the point: "Open your mouth!"

Xu Qingcheng didn't understand why but subconsciously opened his mouth and a pill was thrown into it. Liu Yuan raised his hand to close his mouth and pinched his neck, and the pill went down his throat.

Xihe's mouth opened slightly, with a look of shock.

She was originally worried about how the strange uncle would explain the pill, but she didn't expect it to be so simple and crude.

Great!

Xu Qingcheng swallowed something unknown, but didn't think of asking.

After Liu Yuan dealt with the trivial matters, he slumped down on the armchair. The non-stop work all day almost wore him out. "Tell me, what did you find out?"

Xihe handed over the piece of "gold" and said, "Uncle Weird, look."

Liu Yuan pinched it and took a bite. The sweet taste exploded in his mouth, but he spat it out in two moments.

"sugar?"

Xihe nodded, "It's just candy, and that whole box is full of it, there's no real one."

Liu Yuan had a good brain and immediately figured out the key point. He snorted coldly, "What a good trick to lure you into a trap."

The little girl climbed onto the soft couch beside her, swinging her little feet, "Little brother said the same thing~" Xiao Mingxuan was suddenly called out, and looked up to see that the little girl had started sucking her fingers again. Resigned to her fate, he went over and pulled her back, "Zhao Xihe, I told you not to suck your fingers, but you pulled my hair, and now you're sucking your fingers again, are you asking for a fight?"

The little girl pouted, looking extremely aggrieved. Liu Yuan was happy to watch the fun and was too lazy to stop her.

It's rare to see this little fox suffer a loss, isn't it happy?
Seeing that no one was helping, even Xu Qingcheng, who wanted to love her, was stopped by Liu Yuan's eyes. Xihe was completely defeated, "I didn't want to do this, but... I couldn't help it."

I want to cry when I think of Xihe. She has a six-year-old body but a core that is hundreds of years old. But I don’t know if it’s because of the influence of her body, but some baby movements pop up unconsciously.

As she spoke, Xihe began to pull her hair subconsciously, and the bun that she had tied with great difficulty was messed up again.

Xiao Mingxuan took several deep breaths before resignedly pulling the man over and tying his hair again, "If you dare to pull my hair again, I'll tie your hands!"

I still remember the first time Xiao Mingxuan tied Xihe's hair. The unfamiliarity was still vivid in my mind. Now that he has done it many times, his technique is very skillful, and he can tie two buns in just a few seconds.

The little girl shook her head, not at all calm, "Uncle Weird, since you already know, why don't we leave?"

"Leave?" Liu Yuan didn't dare to use anything in the room. The wine flask on his waist was almost empty. He took off the flask after taking the last sip and threw it aside. "There are so many people outside. If you want to get out, do you think you two little ones can do it, or a useless person like me? Isn't this courting death?"

Hearing Liu Yuan calling him a "useless person", Xu Qingcheng frowned in disapproval, "Don't say that about yourself!"

Liu Yuan snorted and was too lazy to argue.

Turning around, the little girl also looked stern and said seriously, "Don't talk about yourself like that!"

Liu Yuan: “…”

Liu Yuan felt embarrassed to be lectured by an old man and a child at once, and his careless aura became more obvious. "You two are almost done, let's talk about business, why are you dragging me into this?"

The little girl turned around and gave the other person an angry back.

Liu Yuan felt embarrassed and said, "Okay, let's get back to business."

Then he said, "The reason why I agreed to stay is because we can't get out with just a few of us. We need reinforcements."

"When will the reinforcements arrive?" Xihe felt a little sleepy, and leaned back habitually and lay in Xiao Mingxuan's arms.

"We're already there." Liu Yuan also imitated Xihe and found a soft pillow to lean on. The soft pillow greatly relieved his sleepiness. "I guess they've already infiltrated by now, right?"

Xu Qingcheng opened the window a little, looked toward the southwest, and then nodded, "We're almost there."

They are not fools, why wouldn't they leave a way out for themselves?

On the surface, there were only four of them, but half of the reinforcements were secretly ambushed within a hundred meters outside Dafeng Village. If they didn't come out at nightfall, the group would sneak in in disguise to rescue them.

"So fast!"

They only went up the mountain in the afternoon, and reinforcements had been arranged by the evening.

"We have to hurry up. We can wait, but Ning Jiang can't." Liu Yuan snorted coldly, "First they used drugs, then they used incense. If I'm right, they'll start tonight."

"Uncle Weird, did you know long ago that they were bad guys?" Xihe thought Liu Yuan was amazing. She knew some things with the help of the Divine Tree, but Liu Yuan seemed to have known it for a long time and secretly took away half of the reinforcements that were supposed to go to the secret room in the dense forest.

"It's just a guess, but there's no evidence."
