If he hadn't heard what the two of them had said in the car that day, he might have forgotten about the nickname he had coined. But at this moment, he said seriously: "Perhaps I would disappoint you, my nickname is: Five-Colored Thunderbolt Dragon of the Three Realms Rushing alone with the Five Elements Boxing against the 33 Layered Heavens, Huang Yitian has become a Grand Adept."

Qin Xin couldn't help but burst out laughing. She praised him, "You really know how to crack things. I'm convinced."

However, Du Qi still maintained his serious expression and said, "What? Don't tell me you don't believe what I'm saying?"

Qin Xin spoke sweetly, "How can there be such a nickname? It sounds so real. Do you think I'm a three year old child? Even if you want to deceive me, you have to see your opponent clearly."

Du Qi sighed. "The world is big and full of wonders. My nickname isn't given to me, it's just someone else playing around. What does it have to do with me?" "How can you say I lied to you?"

Qin Xin said, "You know very well whether you're lying or not. Do you want me to tell you?"

Du Qi said, "It's really unfair! "It's getting late. I might as well go to bed early. I still need to hurry on my way tomorrow."

Qin Xin saw that Du Qi didn't want to say anything more, so she hesitated before lying down on the straw mattress. She leaned her face against the cliff and shouted, "You, what you said just now has to be counted. Don't touch me!"

Du Qi said with a stern expression, "Xin Er, rest assured, go to sleep. I'll stand guard here for you." As he spoke, Du Qi saw Qin Xin obediently sleeping on his new bed. He couldn't help but feel happy, so he stopped talking to avoid disturbing her. When he was bored to death, he could only sit cross-legged on the outside of his bed.

For the first time in a deserted night, Du Qi was alone with a beautiful girl like Qin Xin. He couldn't help but think, and his heart raced as he listened to Qin Xin's gentle and charming breathing, and smelled the faint fragrance Qin Xin was giving off.

After an unknown period of time, Du Qi gradually started to feel tired. He couldn't sit still any longer and fell down in a daze. He and Qin Xin lay side by side on the "bed."

He discovered that he was lying beside Qin Xin's back, giving off a seductive aura. Suddenly, Du Qi had the urge to embrace Qin Xin and sleep in her arms, but his reason told him that he could not do so, and he did not want to sit up again, so he could only lie there and endure it. For a while, he could not sleep at all, and could only randomly think of random things to pass the time.

In a daze, Du Qi felt as if something heavy was pressing down on his body. He didn't know where he was for a while, so he opened his eyes and remembered that he spent the night in a small cave. Qin Xin was sleeping soundly on his body.

Dodge felt his body go numb from the pressure, but he didn't dare move. He thought, "So being pressed by someone is so uncomfortable, I really don't understand why everyone wants to marry a wife and sleep together with them. Isn't it just asking for trouble?" I think it's better not to get a wife. " Smelling Qin Xin's fragrant scent, he could not help but be secretly intoxicated, as he had an impulse to desire her. For a moment, there was conflict in his heart, and when he saw the sky brighten, he took a deep breath and whispered into Qin Xin's ear, "Xin'er, it's morning. Get up!"

Qin Xin stretched her waist in satisfaction. She opened her eyes and asked, seemingly lost in thought, "Where are we?" Then, with a sharp shriek, he jumped quickly from Dodge to the side and pointed a finger at him. He was breathing rapidly, his face was pale, and his lips trembled as if he wanted to speak, but no words came out.

Seeing this, Du Qi could not help but ask in surprise, "Xin Er, what happened to you?"

Qin Xin let go of her hands in disappointment. After a while, she calmed down a little and said weakly, "It's nothing."

Du Qi smiled. "Xin Er, did you sleep well last night?"

Qin Xin said, "Well, did you sleep well?"

Du Qi frowned slightly and said, "Not good, I didn't dare to sleep in the first half of the night, nor did I sleep in the second half. I was just about to fall asleep when half my body went numb."

Qin Xin giggled. "You deserved it. Who told you to be so dishonest."

Seeing her trembling figure, Du Qi's heart couldn't help but feel moved. He pretended to be wronged and said: "The heavens are merciful. I didn't know anything but suffered a lot. Sigh!"

Seemingly unwilling to get involved in this matter, Qin Xin suddenly changed the subject and asked, "What should we do today?"

Seeing Qin Xin's worried expression, Du Qi felt a burst of excitement in his heart. He smiled and said, "Let's continue yesterday's journey and see when we can find her. Otherwise, we'll have to be a pair of barbarians."

Qin Xin no longer bothered with Du Qi's rude words or taking advantage of her. She seemed to be afraid of actually being a barbarian. With a worried tone, she said, "Then let's go quickly."

Du Qi held onto Qin Xin's small hand as if he was used to it. They arrived at the entrance of a town. The streets were bustling with people. Qin Xin was overjoyed when she said, "We've finally found the town. We can go get some food."

Du Qi looked at Qin Xin and shook his head helplessly. He stopped his movements and remained silent for a while. Qin Xin asked curiously, "What happened to you?" Are you not happy about the food? "

"Do you have any money on you?"

Qin Xin stared straight ahead and shook her head.

Dodge licked his cracked lips and said bitterly, "How can we get something to eat?"

It was at this moment that Qin Xin realized the crux of the problem. She could not help but look at Du Qi, seemingly speechless. Her delicate face changed several times as she became extremely disappointed.

Seeing Qin Xin's appearance, Du Qi's heart ached. He could no longer care about anything else, so he resolutely slapped his chest and confidently said, "I don't believe that a living person will be suffocated to death. For my Xin'er, I don't have any money, so I'll think of a way to get something to eat. Let's go!" With that, he pulled Qin Xin along and walked out of the wilderness. They reached the main road leading to the town entrance and headed towards the town.

Du Qi saw that the big sign at the entrance of the town had the words "Da Ye County" written on it, but no one guarded the door. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I wonder if there is a division of power here?"

Qin Xin looked forward to it and said, "I hope so."

As the two entered the town, they saw the houses and restaurants on both sides of the road. Du Qi was searching outside the city but didn't find anything useful. He said, "It seems we are going to be disappointed."

The passersby saw that although the material of their clothes was good, they were covered in filth. Their hair was fluffy and they walked hand in hand with a man and a woman. They looked at them with curiosity and contempt.

Du Qi was used to this kind of gaze, so he didn't think it was strange. However, Qin Xin didn't feel it. After they walked for another half a block, they suddenly felt the scent of food. They couldn't help but walk towards where the smell had come from.

In front of him was a tall curtain with smoke rising from the stove. People were entering and exiting, it was a restaurant. Du Qi was about to drag Qin Xin along and try his luck when a loud shout suddenly came from behind him. "Stand still!"

The two of them turned around in shock as they saw two burly men walking towards them with malicious expressions on their faces. Du Qi looked coldly at the two of them, seemingly unconcerned. However, Qin Xin abruptly flung his hand away. Her eyebrows slanted inwards and her almond-shaped eyes opened wide. She clenched her fists as she glared at the two officials as if she was about to erupt.

Who knew that the two officials would turn a blind eye to them and walk past them to interrogate a delinquent-like brat not far from them.

Although the two of them weren't worried about what the two officials would do to them, they could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Du Qi no longer had the interest to try his luck. Seeing the actions of the two bailiffs, he felt extremely uncomfortable. Suddenly, he ran to the two bailiffs and greeted them, "We've finally met Sir bailiff. That's great."

The two officials were stunned for a moment. They looked at Du Qi and Qin Xin, and the older one asked, "What's so good about seeing us?"

Du Qi suppressed his laughter and said seriously: "We are siblings from Jing Prefecture, I am called Du Qi, and my sister is called Du Xin. We were originally heading to Hangzhou with our parents, but who would have known that we would be robbed along the way.

The two officials heard his question and could not believe that there was another bandit along the way. Another man asked doubtfully: "Is there such a thing?" Just where in the world did all of you get into trouble?

Du Qi replied, "We don't know where the accident happened. In order to avoid the bandits, we walked for a long time before we arrived here." What are the names of these two lords? The next day, when we report to the elders of the family, we will definitely pay them a visit and pay our respects! "

The elder official replied without hesitation, "My name is Yao Pang Lu, his name is Hao Li Ping. If you have anything to say, just say it. There's nothing wrong with thanking us. Who asked us to be officials?"

Qin Xin saw that they didn't want to pay any attention to Du Qi, but after hearing that they would be thanking them in the future, she immediately changed her attitude and pretended to be very enthusiastic. When she heard that their names were interesting, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, causing the two bailiffs to glare at her angrily. The two officials saw that her appearance was quite cute and that her disciple was a pity, so they didn't send her a message. Du Qi could not help but smile, but seeing that the two of them were looking at them, he smiled bitterly: "Seniors, we do not have money on us and we have wasted so many days on the road. Now we are extremely tired and hungry, if the two of you could settle this problem and give us siblings something to wrap our stomachs, this will be yours, of course, it would be better if you could give us some more silver."

As he spoke, he took the jade pendant from his ring and held it by the rope. The jade pendant dangled in front of the two men's eyes. The two saw that the jade pendant in Du Qi's hand was red and flawless, rippling out circles of dazzling rainbow light. It was indeed a rare piece of jade. That jade pendant could be said to be priceless. It would be worth at least several thousand taels of silver if he brought it to the pawnshop, and at most four or five taels of silver if he gave it to these two kids. Fortunately, these two kids foolishly refused to recognize the loan and ended up with a windfall. Yao Pang Lu cleared his throat as he took a closer look and politely asked, "May I ask how this young master would like us to help you?"

Du Qi replied with a straight face: "But let's eat!"

Yao Pang Lu and Hao Li saw that although their clothes were filthy, they had good materials on them, especially the girl, whose clothes were even more particular. Hearing that Du Qi had written an essay on them, it was obvious that she had received a good education, and she also wanted to seize the jade pendant in Du Qi's hands.

Du Qi was overjoyed as he laughed, "Then I'll thank the two sirs first. I wonder if the dishes in the nearby restaurant are cheaper?"

Hao Li Ping said: "Young master and young miss, please come with us! In front of us is our county's Gao Pingxuan. Although he is a genuine side dish, he is very famous, and the taste is even better. "

Holding the jade pendant in his hand, Yao Pang Lu felt more at ease as he felt the jade pendant in his hands warm and alive. He thought to himself, "Oh, it turns out to be even more precious and warm jade."

In just a few moments, seven or eight dishes were placed on the table. Du Qi and Qin Xin couldn't care less about tasting them. All they knew was that they were wolfing them down together with Yao Hui and Hao Li. A large piece of beef was stuffed into Du Qi's mouth. He vaguely asked, "May I ask how far you two sirs are from Hangzhou or Jingzhou?"

Yao Pang Lu said, "The distance to Jing Prefecture is about one thousand miles. The distance to Hangzhou is already three to four thousand miles."

Du Qi pretended to be shocked. "It's so far, then what should we do?"

"From here to the west is a road that leads directly to Jingzhou. If you want to reach Hangzhou, you can only go east, but the road is very long and difficult to walk on," said Hao Liping.

Du Qi forced out a smile and said, "Looks like we have no choice but to return to Jing Prefecture."

Yao Hui Lu's eyes swept across the empty plates on the table and asked, "Young Master and Young Miss, are you full yet?"

Touching his swollen belly, Du Qi said in satisfaction, "I'm full. I really want to thank you two sirs. We will definitely thank you in advance!" As he said that, he walked out of the restaurant, arms around each other's shoulders.

Du Qi was about to take out his jade pendant from Yao Pang Lu's bosom when he suddenly heard Qin Xin saying, "Sir Yao, you have to keep our family heirloom jade properly. One day, when we return home and report to our parents, we will definitely come with a large sum of money to thank the two sirs for their help today and to redeem our family heirloom as well."

"Please be at ease, Young Master and Young Miss, I, Yao Pang Lu, will not lose your family heirloom even if I lose my old life. I did not want to take such a precious thing, but I was afraid that you would be cheated by others, so I had no choice but to keep it for you for a period of time. At the same time, I wanted to use it as a chance to make friends with your father, and if you want to use money to redeem it, would we only recognize money?"
