Lock and secure

The team set off and drove two miles. Bei Zhenting learned from Ye Qing about the old man Ye Da Chong Gu and Ye Sheng. Seeing Ye Qing sad, Bei Zhenting's way of comforting her was to ruthlessly mock her: "Besides you, there are still two people alive in Qingye Valley. Isn't this a good thing? Ye Ziqi, the eldest young master of Qingye Valley, actually cried. Today, this king has really opened his eyes!"

Ye Qing snorted coldly and ignored Bei Zhenting's ridicule.

Bei Zhenting: "Don't worry, I promised to help you investigate the case and I will definitely help you. Besides, these are all tragic cases from eleven years ago, so I always feel there is some connection."

After a day of speeding, it was almost dark when they reached the outer circle of the Hundred Diseases Forest. Bei Zhenting and his group separated from Ye Qing.

Bei Zhenting and his group continued to move forward, while Ye Qing set up camp on the spot.

It is extremely dangerous to walk through the Forest of Hundred Diseases at night, with miasma, poisonous snakes, poisonous weeds, ferocious beasts, and various poisonous needles and stingers set up by Qingye Valley... Even people from Qingye Valley would not choose to walk through the Forest of Hundred Diseases at night.

Everyone had left, leaving only Ye Qing alone. Ye Qing looked at the direction where Bei Zhenting and his group were going, feeling a little melancholy.

Every time he faced the tragedy of the Qingye Valley massacre, he felt like he was stepping on empty air and couldn't touch the ground.

A man was stunned for a long time, and a voice came from behind him.

"Miracle doctor."

Ye Qing walked to a nearby tree and sat down, then took out a tinderbox to start a fire.

"Aren't you going to follow them?"

Zhang Hu'ao: "I'm following the miracle doctor."

The tinderbox was malfunctioning and the thick firewood couldn't be lit after burning for a long time. The light in front of him was blocked by a strong man, and the tinderbox in his hand was also taken away.

Zhang Huao stuffed some dry grass fluff under the firewood pile, lit it, and blew twice on it without any manner, and the fire started.

Zhang Hu'ao raised his head and said again, "I'm following the miracle doctor."

The tinderbox in his hand was taken away. Ye Qing looked at Zhang Hu'ao, whose face was covered in dust and wounds, calmly and said, "You shouldn't have followed me. Baibinglin is not a place you can go."

Zhang Hu'ao had no idea where Baibinglin was. The first town they passed was the farthest place he knew they had ever been to.

After hearing Ye Qing say that he couldn't go to the Hundred Diseases Forest, he thought that the Hundred Diseases Forest was very dangerous. He looked at Ye Qing seriously and stubbornly, "I will protect the miracle doctor."

Hehe...Ye Qing was silent.

Zhang Hu'ao felt uncomfortable seeing Ye Qing not saying anything. He knew that Ye Qing was distancing herself from him, but he didn't know whether or how to explain to Ye Qing what happened during the month he disappeared.

At first, he was reluctant to stay in Qingxintang because of his brother's matter, but he regretted it on the way home.

Later, he discovered his younger brother's feelings for Ye Qing at home. He thought it was weird for a man to like another man, and the two brothers had a big fight.

Zhang Xi directly pointed out that his feelings for the miracle doctor were not pure. Seeing Zhang Xi talking nonsense, Zhang Huao beat Zhang Xi severely.

His adoptive mother was in poor health. In order to stop Zhang Xi from having any thoughts about her, he, as the eldest brother, paid money to arrange a marriage for Zhang Xi and brought the girl home in two or three days.

After the girl was brought home, the two brothers had a falling out, and he also figured out his feelings for Ye Qing.

After thinking it through, he left behind the money he had saved for more than ten years, said goodbye to his adoptive mother, and left home to wander back to the capital. He had nowhere to go. He wanted to go back to Qingxin Hall but had no reason to go back.

After that, he found a job at the city gate, which included food and lodging, and moved stones. Early that morning, when he was about to go to work, he saw Ye Qing riding a horse out of the city.

Before he could react, he followed without hesitation and didn't even have time to ask the manager for his wages for four days' work.

After following the prince out of the capital, he watched the back of the miracle doctor walking side by side with the prince every day. He wanted to talk to Ye Qing, but the distance in Ye Qing's eyes made him afraid to approach. In addition, he still had such dirty thoughts about the miracle doctor that he felt it was a blasphemy to look at him for even a second, so he was even more afraid to speak to Ye Qing.

Seeing that Ye Qing had no desire to talk to him, Zhang Hu'ao touched his head and felt a little sad. He stood up and said, "The miracle doctor, please stay here. I'm going to go fishing in the river over there."

The river was shallow and clear, and the light was dim as the sun was setting. Zhang Hu'ao rolled up his trouser legs and jumped into the water. He drank two handfuls of water and then washed his face.

I used a sharpened wooden stick to observe the movements of the fish in the water. I tried to stab them six or seven times, but the fish always ran away.

It’s dark now and I can’t see clearly. It would be great if the moon rose... Zhang Huao thought.

A faint firelight lit up behind him. Zhang Huao turned around in confusion and saw Ye Qing walking towards him with a fire starter.

"Why are you following me?"

Ye Qing approached the river step by step, his voice cold.

Zhang Hu'ao's chest began to beat violently.

Why follow the miracle doctor...

Watching Ye Qing walking towards him step by step, Zhang Huao was so nervous that his palms were sweating.

Ye Qing stood by the river, and Zhang Hu'ao stood in the shallow water. One was taller than the other, and the height difference between the two was made up. Ye Qing was actually a little taller.

Zhang Hu'ao: "Miraculous doctor... I... I..."

Zhang Huao swallowed hard, unable to speak. His rough, handsome face flushed red in the firelight, and he looked uncomfortable.

A dark shadow appeared in Ye Qing's eyes. "Come here."

Zhang Huao obediently walked to the riverside, but he didn't dare to go ashore, didn't dare to get close, and didn't dare to look at Ye Qing.

Ye Qing took a step forward and pretended to jump into the water. Zhang Hu hurried forward to stop him, "Divine Doctor... the water is cold... no..."

Zhang Huao froze at the touch of the cold fingertips on the back of his neck.

Watching Ye Qingqing's handsome face enlarge in front of his eyes, warm and soft lips touched his cracked lips and bit them for a moment.

Everything happened in an instant. Zhang Hu'ao was immediately aroused. He reacted quickly and reached out to hold the man down. However, before he touched the man, the man let go of his hand, stood up straight, and looked at him indifferently from the shore.

"Why are you following me?"

Zhang Hu'ao stared at Ye Qing blankly, "Miracle doctor... I... like him!"

Ye Qing looked at him seriously for a long time and said "Oh".

"I'm hungry."

Seeing that Ye Qing had not distanced himself from him any more and had started to tell him "I'm hungry" again, Zhang Hu'ao's ignited evil fire disappeared. He scratched his head, his heart filled with joy, "Wait a minute, doctor! I'm going to catch fish!"

Watching him turn his back to catch fish, Ye Qing behind him licked the corner of his mouth, his eyes bright and cunning, and a small arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Huao suddenly got very lucky. He cast three times and caught two fish of just the right size.

Two fish were enough for this meal, and Zhang Huao quickly squatted on the shore and rubbed the fish scales.

Ye Qing stood aside and watched him do it, and asked casually, "Is your brother Zhang Xi healed?"

Zhang Hu'ao was no longer stupid now. He stopped what he was doing, looked at Ye Qing, and told Ye Qing everything that had happened in the past month.

Ye Qing was slightly shocked when he heard Zhang Hu'ao say he was going to find a wife for his younger brother Zhang Xi. Then he heard Zhang Hu'ao hesitantly express his feelings, feeling elated. Looking at the silly guy, he felt an itch in his heart to immediately drag him somewhere to do something.

Zhang Huao, the brainy tiger, is very naive and has no idea what is in the mind of the aloof genius doctor.

After he finished speaking, the genius doctor touched his head, and Zhang Hu'ao, the brainy tiger, was overjoyed.
