The lazy beauty dotes on her husband so much, she deserves to have a partner

Fu Qi's mind went blank for a moment, and his slow-reacting gaze rested on the hand he was holding for a long time.

His big hands were as smooth as jade, and as slender as a scholar's. The palms were covered with a thin layer of calluses. He didn't look like a man who could pick up a sword and kill people.

A gentle yet helpless voice came from above.

"Okay, no need to spread the medicine."

Fu Qi looked up and saw that the wound had been covered with thick white powder by 'her' without him noticing.

Bai Lian let go of his hand.

Fu Qi smiled awkwardly, put down the medicine, picked up the gauze and started bandaging. During the bandaging process, he needed to pass through the arm, and it was inevitable that it would touch other skin.

Fu Qi had finally bandaged him and there was already a trace of sweat on his forehead. In contrast, Bai Lian was calm and composed, as if nothing had happened.

"Thank you."

'She' raised her head and met a pair of gentle and smiling peach blossom eyes. The two of them were a little close at the moment because of the bandage.

The lingering fragrance from the other person rushed into her nostrils crazily.

"You're welcome!"

Fu Qi's face flushed slightly, and he slightly distanced himself, his eyes unconsciously glancing elsewhere.

I just happened to see three people outside the open window, sticking their heads out and watching with great interest.

Fu Qi's face turned red and he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet as he sat on the stool.

"Just continue and pretend we don't exist!"

Mr. Eleven took out some melon seeds from somewhere, and the three of them started eating them simultaneously.

Bai Lian calmly put on his clothes, walked to the window, looked at the three people for a moment, and then closed the window the next second.

Cut off from sight, the heat on Fu Qi's face finally subsided.

"Are they okay? They just like to eavesdrop, they don't mean any harm."

"It's okay, I'm just a little uncomfortable!"

Fu Qi sat on a stool, as if recalling the past, "I was always alone before. My mother died early, my father didn't like me, and my other brothers and sisters in the family hated me. I didn't have anyone to be close to."

"After meeting Mr. Bai, I realized for the first time how pleasant it is to have a good friend by your side."

What 'she' said was indeed true. She had been envied by her sisters at home because of her outstanding appearance since she was a child. Because of her father, they would not hurt her too much. But it was not because her father liked 'her'. She was the child of a foot-washing maid who was drunk one night and accidentally favored her. She was of low status. If it were not for the benefits that 'her' appearance could bring to him, she might have died in the winter of a certain year!

Bai Lian could vaguely hear the loss and sadness in her words. She should have been raised and cared for by her parents since she was a child, but she was rejected and hated by her family.

"From now on, you have us!"

Bai Lian's eyes remained calm, but his words were so firm that one could not help but believe them.

Fu Qi was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked into those eyes, his throat choked a little, lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Are you willing to believe me? Aren't you... afraid that I have some ulterior motives?"

A warm hand was placed on her head, patting it gently, "Will you hurt me then?"

Fu Qi shook his head. 'She' would never hurt him. This was her promise and her oath.

"Well, then I'll believe you!"

Fu Qi raised her head and met his gaze again, her eyes as calm as water filled with tenderness. She grabbed his hand and placed it on her head again.

"Thank you, I won't let you down."

Fu Qi bravely looked up at the god who was reaching out his hand to her. At this moment, she voluntarily bowed her head under the hand of the god, always loyal and never betraying!

……

"Now our whereabouts have been completely exposed to the enemy. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, which is very disadvantageous to us!"

Fang Ye frowned, analyzing the current situation.

Mr. Eleven crossed his chest and nodded, "Indeed, we just found out a little bit, and they can't wait to send people to hunt us down!"

Bai Lian pointed at the map on the table and said, "The most urgent thing now is to find the exact location of the ore. According to the hidden mountain road that Miss Fu mentioned before, and the time when the people of Lujia Village were poisoned, they are very likely to have driven to this location!"

Fang Ye's eyes widened in surprise, "Huangfeng Ridge! I heard that this is where bandits often appear. Aren't they afraid of being intercepted by bandits when they pass through this place?"

Mr. Eleven touched his chin, "Unless..."

Lu Wan twirled the teacup with his fingers, "They have colluded with the bandits."

Bai Lian: "Let's go check it out tonight!"

Night falls.

The cold white moonlight shines, and the stars twinkle around it. Under the silent moonlight, only the chirping of cicadas in the grass and the croaking of frogs echo in the air.

Two black figures quickly passed through the bamboo forest under the moonlight, and after a moment, they came to the tree trunks outside the village and hid their figures.

Bai Lian and Fang Ye quietly peeked in to observe the village. It was already late at night, and there were many guards at the gate and patrolling bandits. Logically speaking, how could a small village need so many guards and patrols?

Unless there is something important inside that needs their protection!

Bai Lian took a rough look and found that there were a total of fifty to sixty people patrolling back and forth and guarding. Moreover, the guards standing at the door had an obvious difference in temperament from the patrolling bandits.

The guard had a cold expression, and his aura was more like that of a death squad secretly kept in the mansion rather than a bandit.

The patrolmen were respectful to the guards on the surface, which was definitely not the treatment ordinary bandits would receive.

Bai Lian gestured to Fang Ye, indicating that they should sneak in while their shifts were changing, act separately, and retreat immediately after finding the target. They should be careful and run if they were discovered!

Fang Ye nodded.

A quarter of an hour later, the patrolmen began to change shifts.

Bai Lian and Fang Ye approached quickly, hiding their figures behind the tree trunk, came to the wall, climbed up to the top of the wall, jumped up, and landed softly.

The two of them left quickly and started searching from both sides.

Not long after they left the place, a black figure also landed on the ground and ran to the side!

Bai Lian avoided the patrols in the village and looked ahead. He saw a house surrounded by bandits. Bai Lian moved closer and found that the door was still locked.

His intuition told him that the ore they were looking for was most likely inside.

But there were too many patrolling bandits, and if they got close they might alert the enemy. Bai Lian lowered his eyes and thought for a while.

A noise coming from a distance attracted the attention of the patrolling bandits.

The bandits immediately went on alert, "Who? Go over there quickly, otherwise if something goes wrong, none of us will survive!"

A small noise attracted nearly half of the bandits to patrol.

There was a deep look in Bai Lian's eyes as he stared at the bandits. The moment half of the bandits left, Bai Lian rolled over and came to the window of the house.

When I poked a hole in the window paper with my finger, I could see what was going on inside.

"Who? Who's there?"
