Hu Luanfei rarely encountered bloody scenes. In the modern times, she had seen a relatively large-scale chaotic scene, which was a fight between several dogs in the village over a bone. When the situation escalated to human lives, it would be a lie to say that she was not terrified.

The fallen bandits were dragged into the mountains by the villagers and buried. They looked indifferent and used to it, as if human life was worthless in their eyes.

However, Hu Luanfei soon figured it out. If she were to live here for a long time and be robbed by bandits every day and her life was in danger, she would be much more cruel than these villagers.

The villagers did not know Qi Siliao and others, but they were very grateful for their help and invited them home to entertain them.

Qi Siliao asked as he walked: "I remember there were soldiers stationed here before, why are there only you guys left now?"

The villagers were silent for a moment, and then changed the subject, "Please come this way, benefactor. The seafood here is very fresh. I will ask the wives to prepare some dishes for you to taste."

Qi Siriao looked around the village and exchanged a glance with Jiang Shan and Jiang Si. They understood what was going on and while the villagers were not paying attention, they quietly left the crowd.

Hu Luanfei walked with the woman who was holding the shellfish. Since they were both pregnant, they had endless topics to talk about.

The woman's name was Xiaohua, a local. Hu Luanfei vaguely remembered Qi Siriao saying that there were soldiers stationed here, but looking around, there were only villagers from this village, so he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, "Sister Huaer, has anything happened here recently? Why are there no soldiers stationed here?"

Unlike the men, Xiaohua was not as silent as they were. She put down the basin, brought a chair for Hu Luanfei to sit on, poured a cup of hot water and handed it to him before she slowly spoke: "It wasn't like this before. After the battle between Nanqi and Beiqiu, our soldiers stationed here gradually became mentally ill. Sometimes they were awake as usual, and sometimes they had convulsions and showed signs of losing their souls. We thought they were bewitched by evil spirits, so we asked a fortune-teller to look at them, but we couldn't see anything."

Hu Luanfei's expression froze for a moment. Aren't the signs Xiaohua described exactly the same as the signs that the villagers of Bailian Village had shown after being drugged?

Could it be...

"You are from the city, right? What are you doing here?" Xiaohua asked while washing shellfish.

Hu Luanfei came back to his senses and replied symbolically: "My family runs a restaurant. I heard that there is a lot of seafood here, so I thought of coming over to take a look."

"Are you looking for us to order seafood?" Xiaohua stared at Hu Luanfei in surprise for a few seconds before looking away and looking towards the sea. "How far are you from here? If it's too far, we can't deliver our seafood. The weather is getting hotter. The temperature in Menghu Mountain is high, especially here by the sea. Once seafood leaves the sea, it won't survive long and will quickly become smelly."

Hu Luanfei didn't say a word, Xiaohua finished it for her. Her purpose of coming here was indeed to order seafood, but her greater purpose was to introduce seawater into the space, and she didn't know if it could be done.

"Sister Huaer, where do you usually sell your seafood?"

"As for the nearby towns, we are not that close to Nanqi, but those bandits speak with Nanqi accents. It's very strange. Beiqiu also has a border by the sea. They have a grudge, but they don't rob there. They only pick our small place."

"The emperor is far away."

"The prince has been here several times before and was able to calm the bandits."

"Have you seen the prince?"

Xiaohua said, "They were all received by the soldiers. Now those soldiers are in trouble and are locked up in the camp. We deliver meals to them on time every day, but I don't know why, they don't eat the things they usually love, and they are getting thinner and thinner, and we can't find the cause of their illness."

"Then I'll ask my husband to go and take a look." Hu Luanfei quickly ended the conversation, stood up and said goodbye, and turned to look for Qi Siriao who was at another villager's house to find out the situation.

Qi Si Liao seemed to sense something, and when he raised his eyes he met her gaze. In public, her face suddenly turned red and she quickly lowered her head.

Everyone also noticed something and smiled, asking Qi Si Liao to bring her in to discuss the matter.

As soon as Qi Siliao arrived, he pulled her away and said, "Follow me to see those soldiers."

"You knew already?"

"Well, Jiang Shan and Jiang Si just learned that the soldiers are taking a strange drug recently."

"It's probably the hallucinogenic drug that's abundant in Nanqi. The villagers of Bailian Village and Jiang Shi were poisoned before."

Qi Siriao was just about to reply, "Is there an antidote?", but before he could say anything, he saw a strange scene in front of him. He immediately stopped Hu Luanfei and asked her to go back.

Just as he was about to speak, Hu Luanfei happened to see what was happening in front of him, and couldn't help but speak up: "In fact, people who are drugged will do a lot of strange things. It's just two men kissing, not fighting or killing. It's not a big deal, it's normal."

Qi Siriao's heart shuddered, "Did Jiang Shi use force against you at that time?"

"No, he took good care of me."

Qi Siliao really shot himself in the foot. He knew very well that Jiang Shi had feelings for Hu Luanfei and would never do anything to hurt her, but by asking too many questions, he seemed irresponsible.

He changed the subject and asked, "Is there an antidote for LSD?"

"I have the prescription that Xuanyuan Yuqing prescribed before. I will boil it with spiritual spring water. After they drink it, they will recover if they can survive, and they will be buried if they can't."

Hu Luanfei said as he took out the prescription from the space and handed it to him: "Ask Jiang Shan and Jiang Si to get some herbs according to the dosage of the prescription, and I'll give you the spiritual spring water."

Qi Siliao's hands trembled, and he almost couldn't hold the water bag. "Where are you going?"

Hu Luanfei gave Qi Siliao an awkward but polite smile and said casually, "Leave the soldiers in the camp to you. As a woman, I am embarrassed to watch what they will do next. I'm going to take a walk on the beach."

Qi Si Liao saw through her situation but didn't say anything. He walked her a distance to the beach and said, "You are heavy, don't get too close to the beach."

"I know, go ahead and do your work."

Qi Siliao looked back every few steps, fearing that she would fall into the sea if she was not careful.

Hu Luanfei waited with a smile until he was completely out of sight, then carefully found a reef to sit on, reached out to touch the sea water, and silently prayed in his mind to take the sea water into the space.

Obviously, it can't be done.

The sea is so big and her space is so small, how could she possibly fit everything in?

Hu Luanfei smiled self-deprecatingly.

After a while, the space was filled with the sound of a successful seafood transaction, followed by Liu Ruofeng's ecstatic bombardment, [Damn, you are serious, you can actually give me such good seafood.]

[Come on, come on, tell me what you want. I, Liu Ruofeng, will satisfy you no matter what it takes.]

[Hu Luanfei, do you have Phoenix for sale? I am planning to develop new dishes.]

The more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes.

The sea remains unchanged, so when has seafood been traded?

Hu Luanfei flashed into the space and was about to go to the exchange window to reply to Liu Ruofeng. But when she was in the space, she realized that the gray and unclear place was already flooded with deep blue sea water...

There was no end in sight for this sea area, which made Hu Luanfei wonder how big the space was.

Ding dong, ding dong...

The chat box was bombarded with messages from Liu Ruofeng...
