Du Qi then truly admitted that he was a member of Luo Ma Gang from the bottom of his heart, treated the Luo Ma Gang's mission as his own business, linked his fate with the Luo Ma Gang, and secretly decided that when he went back, he would not think about it even if he was only a cloth-clothed gang member. He suppressed his surging emotions with great difficulty, gathered up his dejected emotions, and came to the river bank to wash off the stains on his body. Suddenly, a sorrowful wailing sound entered Du Qi's ears. He was greatly astounded as he looked towards the source of the sound. He saw the white-clothed young lady sitting on a rock in the river not far from him, crying sorrowfully.

Du Qi was overjoyed. He rushed over and looked at her sad appearance and felt that she was very moving. All sorts of feelings were mixed in his heart. His resentment and feelings had all gone somewhere. After a long time he finally said: "You, don't cry, okay?"

The young lady raised her tearful eyes and glanced at Dodge. Dodge saw that her eyes were as clear and clear as a pool of spring water, and there was a gleam of wisdom in her sad eyes. She lowered her eyes and sobbed for a while before wiping away her tears. With a blushing face that seemed a little shy, she calmly asked, "Have you scolded enough?"

Du Qi had only secretly scolded them in his heart, but he hadn't said it out loud. He wasn't afraid that she would listen. He couldn't help but turn pale with fright as he heard her question. "What?"

That young miss said, "Do you not understand human speech?"

Duch's face was a bit hot as he stuttered: "This, this..."

That young miss said: "Hmph! "Don't think that I don't know the dirty words that you're thinking of. However, no matter what, I still have to thank you!"

Du Qi once again cried out: "What? Missy, are you alright? "

That young miss suddenly chuckled and said, "Originally, something was up and it was a rather bad thing, but now it's almost all over."

When he saw her smile, his small and cute red lips curled up slightly, revealing a pair of shallow dimples and two rows of neat little white teeth. His elegant nose slightly raised, his round eyes slightly closed, making his beautiful crescent-like eyebrows seem like a hundred blossoming flowers. On top of his heart, a wonderful feeling seeped into his heart, and he subconsciously replied, "Oh."

That young miss said in a displeased tone, "What goose? You're still eating chicken? Do you know what I mean?"

Du Qi thought to himself, "This young lady is so beautiful, her voice is so pleasant to listen to. She almost lured out this daddy's little soul in order to bewitch this old man. You're still a little too tender, hmph!" "You are still far from being able to play dirty tricks in front of me. If you don't believe me, we'll see!" Only then did he start thinking, and said lightly: "The lady's meaning is obvious, the biggest thing is how to find the thing wrapped around the stomach."

The young lady's gaze landed on Du Qi's face, her eyes brimming with a sweet smile. She tenderly asked, "Then what are you waiting for?"

Seeing her smile that was like a flower, Du Qi's heart couldn't help but tremble. He revealed the smile he thought he had the most charm as he said, "My name is Du Qi, may I know how to address Miss?"

That young miss said straightforwardly: "My surname is Qin, you can just call me Xin Er."

Du Qi sincerely praised, "Qin Xin'er, what a fragrant and creative name, let's go!"

Qin Xin stood up happily. Her wet clothes swayed lazily under the influence of the river wind, revealing her naturally slim figure without any concealment. As she looked around, her eyebrows revealed a vigorous heroic air, and her thick black hair fell down to her head in a loose layer, adding to her natural charm. She naturally emitted a kind of true beauty.

Du Qi wanted to pull her small hand when he saw how fragile it was, but he was a little embarrassed and worried that he would be rejected. He didn't expect Qin Xin to take the initiative and extend her petite hand, allowing Du Qi to hold onto her hand firmly.

He felt a little cold and shaky as he held Qin Xin's small hand. That feeling, which was so soft and smooth, even brought him a strange feeling, it struck his nerves and his soul. His whole body felt numb, his soul seemed to be drunk, yet it also wanted to fly away from his body. He rejoiced in his heart, "I've finally caught you in my hand. Run, let's see where you can run to." To be honest, you're even more pleasing to the eye than that little girl. It's even better if I brought you back home to be a good little daughter-in-law! "

A wonderful feeling still lingered in his heart as countless thoughts ran through his mind. Du Qi took a few deep breaths and his agitated heart calmed down. He squeezed gently against Qin Xin's side in satisfaction, trying his best to overcome the parched feeling in his mouth and the impulse to embrace Qin Xin.

They had spent half the night in the river, hungry and tired, their limbs exhausted. They climbed up a small hill with difficulty and looked around, but there was no sign of human life. The two of them simultaneously sucked in a breath of cold air, and Qin Xin asked in bewilderment, "Where is this place?"

Du Qi subconsciously shook his head with a dark expression. However, he was secretly happy as he said, "As long as we keep going forward, we will eventually meet them. At that time, we will be able to find out the way to the big towns." In fact, in his heart, he was praying that they wouldn't run into each other. The two of them would wander in the wilderness for the rest of their lives.

"But how much longer will that take?" Qin Xin asked bitterly.

Du Qi said, "No matter how long it takes, we still have to leave. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome if those people chase us."

As if recalling the events from before, Qin Xin's expression became sad and revealed a look of indignation. Seeing her sad and indignation, Du Qi's heart ached as he gently said, "Xin Er, don't be afraid of me. No matter what happens, I will always think of a way to keep you safe and sound and send you to the place you want to go."

As he spoke, he pulled Qin Xin by the hand and happily ran towards another mountain. Pride and satisfaction filled his heart, as if he had already become linked with Qin Xin and would never be able to part with her again.

Qin Xin did not know what Du Qi was thinking and thanked him sincerely, "Du Qi, thank you! I'm sure you can do what you say, but I don't know where to go. "

Du Qi cried out, "What? You don't know where you're going? "

Qin Xin explained with a bashful blush, "I knew that Uncle Shen would arrange everything. I also knew that my ship would be safe once we boarded. Who knew that an accident would happen?"

Du Qi was astounded. "What?" That big ship is actually yours? How come you live in that kind of barn? "

Although he had never been on a large ship like this, he knew that they lived in a relatively poor place on the ship. That was why he had asked this question.

It's Uncle Ma's ship, and he's here to pick us up. Apart from people like you, the rest of the ship's workers are my family's and Uncle Ma's men, but we just don't know each other on the ship, so as to prevent the wind from leaking, most of my family members haven't gotten on board yet. "Qin Xin didn't care at all," Actually, the boat isn't mine, and it's Uncle Ma's ship, and it's specially designed to pick us up.

"I suppose we were left aboard to keep a secret. Where did you come from?"

Qin Xin thought for a moment and said, "I don't mind telling you. Uncle Shen and I came from Mount Wudang to Xiangyang, while the rest of the people are in other places. Some of them fled from the capital."

Du Qi frowned. "Didn't the imperial court already order a ban on the seas? How can you guys sail the seas? Aren't you afraid of the pirates?"

Qin Xin replied, "That's why we have to take Uncle Ma's battleship. She's a battleship, so it's useless for her, let alone those pirates."

Du Qi couldn't help but snicker. He hadn't even seen any pirates and had only met a few bandits who had sunk the boat in the middle of the river. Yet, they still dared to go into the sea to show off? Then he asked in relief, "Is your home in Beijing?"

Qin Xin replied matter-of-factly, "Yeah!"

Du Qiqi said: "What happened to you guys that you 'avoided' the capital city and went to the sea?" "No wonder there have been a lot of unfamiliar people from the Jinyi Guards in Xiangyang City these past two days. So they're looking for you."

Qin Xin replied dejectedly, "Who knows?" We thought we could hide it from everyone, but the news leaked out early and eventually broke the boat. "

Du Qi followed Qin Xin's dejection and asked, "Xin'er, are you tired?"

Qin Xin rubbed her legs and said with a frown, "I'm not tired at all, I'm just a little hungry. I wonder how Xiao Lan is doing?" "Sigh!"

"Who is Xiaolan?"

Qin Xin said, "What? Don't you know her name?"

Du Qi pointed to a patch of forest to the left of the road and said, "Oh, she didn't tell me, so she should be fine. Xin'er, did you see those fruits on the tree? Shall we get a few to try it? "

It was early summer, and in the wilderness there were many primitive ownerless fruits. Qin Xin was delighted. "I hope it's as you say. She's my best sister. She won't leave me alone." As he said this, he ran to a fruit tree and plucked a red but unknown fruit. He wiped the fruit off his clothes and then took a bite. He chewed the fruit and mumbled, "It's delicious, it's really delicious. It's much better than the fruits I've eaten before."

Du Qi said, "If it's delicious, then eat more. Anyway, I don't want money." However, he thought to himself, "It's delicious. It won't take two days at this rate. I guarantee that you won't say something like that again."

Qin Xin didn't know what Du Qi was thinking. She happily gathered a lot of famous and unknown fruits and, ignoring Du Qi's advice, she stuffed the rest of the fruits into her and Du Qi's pockets. Before she left, she took two larger fruits with her.

Du Qi was worried that someone would catch up with them, so he pulled Qin Xin and ran in the direction far away from the river.

Along the way, Qin Xin saw various fruits everywhere. Some of them were things she had never seen before. She could not help but throw away the fruits in her hands. After Dodge picked a new type of fruit to eat, she threw away all the fruits on her body in a huff. As she did so, she continuously mumbled to herself, clearly in a bad mood.

The two of them trekked through mountains and mountains until it was dark. Qin Xin was anxious, "What should we do?"

Du Qi also felt a little scared in his heart, but he firmly said, "Xin Er, there's no need to be afraid. We can always spend the night wherever we go. Tomorrow, everything will be fine."

Qin Xin said with worry, "But how are we going to get through tonight?"

Du Qi discovered that the bottom of the cliff was slightly caved in not far away, barely able to block out the wind and rain. He said, "Xin Er, quickly take a look. That place isn't bad. How about we spend the night there?"

"How come you're spending the night here?" Qin Xin asked dejectedly.

Du Qi said, "You can't be particular when you're outside. This place can shelter you from the wind and rain. That's already pretty good. If you're not lucky, you can only stay in the grass or trees for the night. Come and help me pull the grass."

Qin Xin said, "You seem very professional. Do you often spend the night in the wilderness?" What are you plucking the grass for? "

Du Qi unhappily replied, "How can we not sleep out in the wilderness when we are travelling in the martial arts world? To pluck the grass is, of course, to make the bed. "

Qin Xin looked around, puzzled. "Where did this bed come from?" Even though she said this, she stayed close to him and began to pull grass just like he did.

Qin Xin watched as Du Qi collected the plants and spread them on the ground at the bottom of the cliff. She cried out in surprise, "You're not asking me to sleep here, are you?"

Du Qi looked at the newly made bed and said with satisfaction, "Xin Er is really smart. Quickly come and sleep for a bit, let's see if this bed is soft or not. "I can assure you, after sleeping in this bed today, you will definitely not be able to forget it!"

Qin Xin shouted, "Do you really want to sleep on this?" But I sleep here. Where do you sleep? "

Du Qi couldn't help but feel faint. With such a wide bed, it was more than enough for two people to sleep on, and here he was worrying that if you slept, I would have no place to sleep. However, he did not say what he was thinking. He only smiled and said in an ambiguous manner, "When Xin'er is sleeping, I can only stand guard for her."

Qin Xin suddenly asked, "Du Qi, when did you become a minister of Luo Ma Gang? Are you very famous?"

Du Qi couldn't help but be surprised and then laughed.: "It is not worth mentioning."

Qin Xin's smile was like a flower as she said, "So you're really famous. Do you have a nickname?"

Du Qi couldn't help but laugh out loud. He recalled the conversation between Qin Xin and the yellow-clothed girl and said, "I do, but my nickname is rather long and hard to remember. It's not interesting, much less worth mentioning."

Qin Xin innocently asked, "Are they scary?" Can you tell me? "

Du Qi was still smiling as he replied, "Speaking of my nickname is a bit scary. I heard that someone specifically used it to scare the crying children."

Qin Xin seemed to not believe Du Qi's words and said, "Bullsh * t! "Come on, let's see if it really stops the baby's nighttime crying."
