Qi Zhen's heart was unexpectedly moved.
For him or the team, this world is just a game. The NPCs in the game may show some gratifying qualities, such as kindness and righteousness. But from the moment he entered the game, Qi Zhen had no idea about these systems. The characters are set up with some cautious suspicion.
It was easy to seek their help to achieve the purpose of the game, but wanting to trust these people wholeheartedly, even to the point of putting her life in their hands, Qi Zhen had never thought about such a thing.
So what Xiong Wu said at this time made Qi Zhen feel some inexplicable feelings in her heart.
Xiong Wu said that he could not take in the two of them because of the mother, sister-in-law and brother's children at home. He needed to ensure their safety and not be implicated by Qi Zhen and the two.
But from the bottom of his heart, he is still a kind person, so he proposed to find another place for the two of them.
On the one hand, this is due to his nature, and on the other hand, it is also due to his trust in Xiong Wen.
While willing to help Qi Zhen and shelter the two of them here for one night, he went to the Yamen the next day to verify what Qi Zhen said, and then changed a hiding place for them, and arranged the next matters step by step in a very orderly manner. Not to mention it is much better than the simple kindness of Xiong Wen's wife.
But no matter how you say it, all this is based on the fact that he is still a kind-hearted person, willing to believe in the plight that Qi and Zhen are encountering, and wants to do his part to help them, which is not easy.
Qi Zhen's eyes softened a lot, she said thank you to Xiong Wu, then turned around and continued to apply the medicine to Liang Sicheng.
"You guys can rest in this room tonight. I won't disturb you. I'll ask my siblings to bring you some food tomorrow morning." Xiong Wu said.
Qi Zhen thanked him again. He probably said more thanks today than he did before entering the game combined.
Just when Xiong Wu was about to walk out of the house, Qi Zhen's voice came from behind him: "Aren't you afraid that we are bad guys?"
Xiong Wu's body stopped in place and said softly: "My unlucky brother alone cannot rescue people from the prison in Jingzhou City. Since I can't beat you, there is no need to risk my family." This risk.”
"Then you don't want to go to the Yamen to report us?" Qi Zhen asked again.
"From the moment you entered the house, we actually had no choice. We must know that the penalties imposed by the government for harboring criminals are sometimes even heavier than the criminals themselves..." Xiong Wu sighed, but still did not look back: "I don't know what you are doing. Are you good people, but my family are just ordinary civilians who can't bear the trouble."
Without waiting for Qi Zhen's reply, Xiong Wu turned around, closed the door, and walked away.
Qi Zhen felt warm in her heart. Although Xiong Wu kept making many excuses, Liang Sicheng's injuries must have touched his heart as much as his own.
Qi Zhen was relieved that Liang Sicheng could be handed over to them.
He gave Liang Sicheng good medicine and slowly withdrew his mental power from him, and his moans became louder.
Fortunately, after a while, the pain was probably numb, or the pain was too severe. In short, Liang Sicheng fell asleep again, but the wound should still be painful, so Liang Sicheng's brows were still frowning tightly.
Qi Zhen let out a sigh of relief.
It had been some days since his mental energy had been consumed so continuously. Once the tight string relaxed, Qi Zhen felt some uncontrollable dizziness.
He lay beside Liang Sicheng's bed and fell into a drowsy sleep.
He slept for a long time, and when Qi Zhen woke up, it was already dark outside.
It seems that the system also knows that something terrible will happen in Jingzhou City today, so the weather is particularly gloomy.
After Qi Zhen woke up, she checked on Liang Sicheng's condition.
Liang Sicheng has started to have a fever. It seems that even the medicine used for injuries is difficult to stop the infection of his wounds. Red bumps have appeared around several wounds, like blisters, with a faint pink color.
He continued to wake up, and it was difficult for Qi Zhen to ask him the reason for the incident. Everything had to wait until he woke up.
Qi Zhen slept well that night, mainly because Xiong Wu's family was there, and Qi Zhen felt a little relieved. He had not had such a peaceful sleep for a while.
Due to the powerful Sharingan and mental power, as well as being vigilant about the surrounding environment in the game, he rarely actually maintains a deep and peaceful sleep.
Not long after Qi Zhen woke up, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
"You should eat something first." Xiong Wen's wife put the porridge and side dishes on the table and said to Qi Zhen politely.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. Where is Brother Xiong Wu?" Qi Zhen asked.
"It was uneasy outside last night. When I got up in the morning to cook, I found that he hadn't slept all night. After telling me to make some food for you, he went out early and said he would be back before noon. "Xiong Wen's wife looked at Liang Sicheng on the bed, with a trace of sadness on her face.
"Sorry to trouble you." Qi Zhen said slightly apologetically.
"Hey, the world outside is not good now, and everyone will inevitably have difficulties. Don't be polite to me. If you need anything, just tell me."
"Please help me get some hot water. My brother is like this. I'm afraid he won't be able to eat anything. Let me see if I can feed him some water." Qi Zhen said.
"Okay, just wait a minute and I'll pour it for you."
Xiong Wen's wife went to the kitchen to get hot water and put it on the table, but her expression was a little unnatural.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Qi Zhen asked.
"Actually, that's the case." Xiong Wen's wife seemed a little embarrassed and said after careful consideration: "There is an old mother at home. I think it's okay for you to hide here for the time being, but it's better not to let her know that you are here. After all, My mother is old and I’m afraid…”
"Don't worry, I'm in this room and won't run around." Qi Zhen nodded clearly.
"Thank you then. I really don't want to make my mother anxious."
Qi Zhen said hurriedly that she didn’t dare.
After Xiong Wen's wife left, Qi Zhen felt a lot of emotion in her heart. No matter what, he would try his best to keep the whole family safe.
Before noon, Xiong Wu returned home and immediately came to Qi Zhen to explain the situation.
The city has obviously stepped up inspections of people coming and going, especially many new faces from other places, who are being questioned one by one by the soldiers patrolling in the city.
At the same time, the inns and inns in the city suffered an unforeseen disaster. Starting from last night, a sweep-style investigation was carried out. Countless businessmen and travelers living in Jingzhou were awakened from their sleep, and then for no reason... A while of cross-examination.
As expected, Xiong Wen is still in the Yamen, but the good news is that he has not been tortured. He will only be released after investigation and questioning.
Xiong Wu had an unused house in Jingzhou City. He bought it behind his family's back. The purpose was naturally not to hide the beauty in a golden house, but probably out of the instinct of a cunning businessman to reserve a final shelter for himself and his family. At this time, he Came in handy.
Qi Zhen only asked Xiong Wu for the location of that place, and said that he did not need to take her there, and the two of them would leave tonight. From then on, the family's life continued as if the two of them had never appeared. good.
This is the best protection for them.
Qi Zhen thought so.
In addition, Xiong Wu also prepared several sets of traditional Chinese medicine and handed them to Qi Zhen. He said that the prescriptions were learned from others during his years of running around. The medicinal materials are very common, but when put together they have something special. The effect was so great that Qi Zhen was given to Liang Sicheng, thinking that it would speed up the healing process of the injury.
Without saying anything else, Qi Zhen still kept this kindness in her heart.
It was always difficult to distinguish the time in the gloomy weather. Qi Zhen kept looking after Liang Sicheng and didn't realize that time passed slowly.
During this period, something happened that worried Qi Zhen.
Liang Sicheng, who thought it was just a skin injury, started to have blood in his stool.
Qi Zhen didn't have much medical knowledge, so she probably understood that there might be some problem with her kidneys, and for no reason she began to miss the time when Meng Ran was by her side.
"Damn it." Qi Zhen cursed.
The gloomy sky gradually darkened, and it always gets dark much earlier in winter. At this time, Xiong Wen and his family were having dinner in the main room.
"Why hasn't Xiaowen come back yet?" a kind old man asked his eldest son.
Xiong Wu has not been home for a long time. The old lady has been happy these past two days, thinking that the family is finally reunited, and she feels comforted in her heart.
"Mom, Xiong Wen sent a letter to my family, saying that the Yamen is busy today and will be back in the next two days." Xiong Wu said with a smile.
"Grandma, dad will be back soon. Do you miss him as much as I do?" a little guy who looked like a tiger-headed guy asked the old lady.
"Yes, grandma misses your dad too." The old man said with a smile.
"Mom, brother, you eat first, I'll go to the kitchen to check the fire." Xiong Wen's wife said this, looked at each other with Xiong Wu, got up and left the house.
After a while, she appeared in front of Qi Zhen's room door with porridge in her hands and knocked gently.
Tuk-tuk-tuk...
No one answered.
She knocked again.
Still no one responded.
The door latch was not inserted, and it opened with a slight push.
Xiong Wen's wife walked into the house and looked at the empty room, feeling a little worried.
She returned to the main room with a normal expression, finished a meal with her family, and then started washing the dishes.
"Brother and sister, let me help you." Xiong Wu said standing outside the door.
"No, brother, you can go and have a rest. I can do it myself." Xiong Wen's wife said, and her hands kept moving.
"Brother, those two people, when I just brought them food, I saw that they had already left." Xiong Wen's wife said.
"Maybe he was afraid of troublesome us and not too embarrassed to say hello, so he just left." Xiong Wu nodded and said.
"The child is so seriously injured, there won't be any problem." Xiong Wen's wife worried.
