He invited people in, put the lunch boxes away, and was about to say something.

Suddenly, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the yard.

The two looked at each other and looked outside.

Soon, Dingxiang came in to report that Daman came to report that the person who went to look for medicine had returned.

Fu Zhiyi stood up suddenly.

Lu Zhenzhen's heart also skipped a beat, and they both said at the same time: "Let someone in quickly."

Soon, a steady sound of footsteps slowly approached. A man with an ordinary appearance came in and knelt on one knee to salute. "I have fulfilled my mission and found traces of the golden cicada in the mountains north of Nanyue. If nothing unexpected happens, it will break through the ground in five days."

This is great news.

Even someone as calm as Fu Zhiyi couldn't help but tremble in his voice: "Is the news true?"

The man said confidently, "I guarantee it with my life."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Fu Zhiyi couldn't help but say "Okay" three times in a row, and stepped forward to help the man up with his own hands: "Thank you for your hard work!"

After taking two deep breaths, Fu Zhiyi calmed down a lot. "You've worked hard on this journey. Go downstairs and have a meal and rest for a while, then come back to report the details."

The man nodded and said yes, then walked out.

After everyone left, the room became quiet.

Fu Zhiyi lowered his head for a while before looking up, his eyes red.

He hugged Lu Zhenzhen tightly, his voice choked with sobs: "Zhenzhen, God will not abandon me! God will not abandon me, Fu Zhiyi!"

Lu Zhenzhen's eyes also felt sore.

He patted Fu Zhiyi's back soothingly: "Yes! God still loves you! Don't worry, once you get over this hurdle, everything will be fine in the future!"

Fu Zhiyi buried his head in Lu Zhenzhen's neck, and the hot air from his breath hit Lu Zhenzhen's skin, making it warm and numb.

Lu Zhenzhen felt a little uncomfortable and was about to break free when two cold spots fell on her skin.

The hand she had just extended stiffened instantly.

Is Fu Zhiyi crying?

It's time to cry! I thought there was no hope for my whole life, but now that I can see that I can return to normal, anyone would cry!

She immediately relaxed her body, put one arm around Fu Zhiyi's waist, and gently patted his back with the other, silently comforting him.

After a while, Fu Zhiyi calmed down, raised his head, and rubbed Lu Zhenzhen's shoulders: "You are not feeling well, rest first. I will ask someone to call Qi Xiaoshen Doctor to go to the front to ask for the details, and then see what arrangements Qi Xiaoshen Doctor has made. It will probably be very late, so don't wait for me."

Lu Zhenzhen knew that Fu Zhiyi was very excited at the moment, and perhaps a little at a loss.

What is needed more is some time to calm down and sort out your thoughts.

He smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead!"

Fu Zhiyi looked at Lu Zhenzhen deeply, hugged her tightly again, kissed her on the face, then let go of his hands and walked out without looking back.

Then Lu Zhenzhen saw the light in the house in front of her turn on.

She was not feeling well and was already in low spirits, so she asked someone to bring her some hot water, washed up, and climbed into bed.

But I tossed and turned for a long time before falling into a drowsy sleep.

I also had a dream. In the dream, I finally caught a golden cicada, it was so big. Then after I came out, the golden cicada flapped its wings and flew away. It flew away.

Lu Zhenzhen was so anxious that she quickly chased after him. With a big jump, she hugged the golden cicada in her arms, flicked the golden cicada's head, and said viciously: I told you to run! I told you to run -

The golden cicada actually spoke human words: If you hit my head, I will die.

Then the cicada closed its eyes and stuck out its tongue, snap!

Lu Zhenzhen was so frightened that she sat up from the bed.

When I opened my eyes, it was already daybreak. The bed was still cold. Fu Zhiyi hadn't come back all night.

I stood up, and Dingxiang, who was on guard outside, walked in: "Madam, are you awake?"

Ever since entering the Nanyue County Government Office, with Madam Ye's reminder, everyone has changed their tone. Fu Zhiyi is now the "Sir" and Lu Zhenzhen is now the "Madam".

Lu Zhenzhen walked to the window and looked outside: "Fourth Master didn't come back yesterday?"

Dingxiang gave Lu Zhenzhen a coat and said, "I wonder what the adults were discussing at the front yesterday. The lights were on all night, and they even had a midnight snack delivered to them."

Lu Zhenzhen frowned. Was it really that easy to catch a golden cicada? Or had something unexpected happened? Would they need to discuss it all night?

With something on her mind, Lu Zhenzhen casually washed up, ordered breakfast, and asked someone to send it over.

I had just given the order and breakfast hadn't arrived yet when Fu Zhiyi came back.

After a sleepless night, Fu Zhiyi was in good spirits except for some red bloodshot eyes.

After all, people feel happy when they are happy!

Just a few more stubbles on his chin made him look more dignified.

Lu Zhenzhen took a few more glances, knowing that this was not the time to admire beauty, and asked, "What's the situation? Is it far away? Can you get there within five days?"

Fu Zhiyi replied as he washed and combed his hair, "There's a small village in the mountains about eighty miles to the north, full of herbalists. They said they found a golden cicada there last year, but unfortunately, it died within three days of emerging from the ground."

"My people have already had those herbalists take the lead in locking down the area. The people in that village have been guarding the area for the past few days. If you find a golden cicada, please contact us immediately."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhenzhen immediately stood up and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's set off today and rush to that place immediately."

Fu Zhiyi hesitated a bit: "You haven't been feeling well these past few days, why don't you-"

Lu Zhenzhen glared at him: "Not as good as what?"

Fu Zhiyi immediately changed his tone: "Why don't we pack up and leave after breakfast?"

Lu Zhenzhen glanced at Fu Zhiyi with a half-smile, thanking him for changing his tune quickly.

He didn't even bother to eat and immediately told Nanny Ye to pack his luggage and get ready to leave.

Fu Zhiyi added, "Don't bring too much. We'll tell everyone we need to recuperate and stay at the farm outside the city for a few days."

Lu Zhenzhen looked at him suspiciously: "I don't think the manor we bought is located in the north of the city, right?"

Fu Zhiyi smiled. "Yesterday, I went to the welcoming banquet and told them that I hadn't recovered from my injury yet, so I ate tea instead of wine. Someone then hurriedly offered us their own farm for us to recuperate at. That farm happened to be just thirty miles north of the city."

"Let's spend the night at the farm first. You stay there with Dr. Qi and make the preparations. I'll take my men into the mountains, get the golden cicada, and come back immediately to detoxify it."

Seeing that Lu Zhenzhen seemed to be about to object, Fu Zhiyi held her shoulders and said, "Zhenzhen, I only trust you in this world! If we leave the city in such a hurry to go north, there will definitely be people who will be suspicious and maybe even test us! Only if you stay, I can feel at ease!"

Lu Zhenzhen looked at Fu Zhiyi and nodded seriously: "I understand, you can go without worry."
