Yun Qixi thought for a while, then said, "Nowadays, the villagers are too scattered, and are powerless, so the bad people are very easy to deal with. It would be better if we gather the villagers together, on one hand, it can alleviate the panic of everyone, and on the other hand, it can make it harder for the bad people. At first, where did the poison come from? We will personally check everyone's diet and not give the person behind us the opportunity to create the illusion of a plague. "
Yun Qi nodded with a heavy expression. "Now, there doesn't seem to be any better way."
This opinion of theirs received the response of all the villagers. Because too many things had happened in the past few days, everyone's heart was filled with fear. When everyone gathered together, they could at least feel a bit more safe.
Only one person did not respond, and was still acting alone, and that was Xiang Fei.
As a result, he became the target of Yun Qixi's suspicions.
Perhaps it was because of her occupational disease in the tomb business, but she was too cautious. Before the murderer could be found, every single person in the village was suspicious. She could not trust anyone with their food, so she limped to the battlefield herself. Suspicious that the water in the village well was not clean, she sent Yun Qi up the mountain to find clean mountain water. Right, right now in this village, she only believed in Yun Qi.
When Xiao Yu's condition improved, she woke up to help, so Yun Qixi handed over the matter of giving everyone food to eat to him.
Suddenly, he saw not too far away, Xiang Fei walked out of the house, looked in his direction, and then sat down on a low wooden stake by the door expressionlessly. Even though it was bustling here, he did not turn his gaze over.
Yun Qixi thought for a while, then suddenly smiled, a shrewd look sweeping past her eyes.
After filling up a bowl of porridge, she carried the porridge and walked towards Xiang Fei.
She came up behind him, but before she could say anything, a cold gush of Sword Qi gushed out. A thin, bright sword with a cold tip was pointed at her nose, if the sword was even a few inches further, her nose would be gone.
Forcefully supporting her back, Yun Qixi forced out a calm laugh, "What are you doing, Chief Officer? I was just kind enough to bring you a bowl of porridge. "
Behind the ice sword, Xiang Fei's face was ice-cold. He only spat out one word, "No need."
Yun Qixi had already completely calmed down, and her smile became more brilliant, "Why? Could it be that the soldier was worried about the poison in the porridge? "Don't worry, only a person whose conscience has been eaten by a dog would do that."
She didn't know where she got the courage, or perhaps she had a premonition that he wouldn't dare to do anything to her in front of so many people, so she carefully pulled away the sword in front of her and stepped closer to him, stubbornly handing him the bowl.
"To the soldier in chief, do you want to honor him?"
"Scram!" Xiang Fei's face fell, his eyes suddenly filled with anxiety. He extended his leg and kicked, causing the bowl in Yun Qixi's hands to fly out.
Yun Qixi lost her balance, twisted her ankle and fell backwards. Coincidentally, a pair of powerful arms supported her.
"It seems too ungracious to treat a woman like this to the commandant." Yun Qi held her firmly. When she raised her head, she could see a trace of a lazy smile on the corner of his mouth. His tone was light and polite, but it was contradictory to see that it was impolite.
Borrowing Yun Qi's strength, Yun Qixi stood up straight, and looked at Xiang Fei with a smile that was not a smile, "My response to the main troop leader is really strange, could it be that there's something wrong in my heart, so …"
"Whoosh!" Xiang Fei put the sword back into its sheath and stood up. With a "unfathomable and mysterious" sound, he turned and walked back into his room.
This time, Yun Qixi was certain in her heart that he was the murderer behind the scenes, and stared at his back with eyes that could not wait to turn into two blades and hack him into pieces.
"Are you okay?" Yun Qi gently asked her.
Yun Qixi retracted her fierce gaze, but upon hearing his question, she immediately felt her legs go soft, grabbing onto his sleeves, she only frowned and said one word, "Pain."
Yun Qi smiled helplessly and suddenly picked her up by the waist.
"That, the pain is pain, but I can still walk by myself." Yun Qixi hurriedly said. She didn't know why, but she, who always had a thick skin, had suddenly blushed for some reason.
However, Yun Qi ignored her and carried her back to the room, placing her on the bed. Squatting down, he untied the wound for her, and after looking at it, he couldn't help but frown. "Don't you know medicine? To actually be worried about others, and not care about your own matters at all, this medicine should have been changed long ago. "
To Yun Qixi, the complaints in his tone sounded warm and warm. In the past, other than her mother, no one else had cared about her. Even her father treated her as a daughter. So she spent a lot of her time studying grave robberies and medicine.
After transmigrating to this place, even though she had walked through many schemes and traps, she had still felt the concern of many people, such as Yun Chong, Qiao Er, and Zhang Qinxue. However, Yun Qi was different, they met by chance and she did not know his true identity, so her feelings towards his concern for her were much more genuine.
"There is a saying that 'doctors don't know their own medicine'. Now that I have a friend who knows medicine, I can be considered lucky." Yun Qixi laughed from the bottom of her heart.
Yun Qi's hand paused, and his expression stiffened for a moment. When he raised his head, a smile was already contained in the depths of his eyes.
"If I remember correctly, you still owe me some silver. What do you mean by befriending me?" Could it be that he wants to turn the page and not admit his loss? "
"Pfft," Yun Qixi felt like she had been defeated, she bit her lips as she glared, and suddenly laughed sloppily, "What if I don't admit it? There are no written documents. "
Yun Qi smiled and shrugged as he looked at her devoid of face. "Then I really can't do anything to you. Without words and evidence, you can only blame your own bad luck on yourself. Who told you to meet a scoundrel?"
"Who's the scoundrel?" Yun Qixi glared and was about to stand up.
Yun Qi held her down, her smile not diminishing. "Carefully injure your leg again." The pleasant voice suddenly became unreasonably gentle. Yun Qixi sat upright, looking like a log. Suddenly she didn't know what to say, and could only watch as he slowly and gently bandaged her wound.
"Be careful around you. Your wounds are almost healed." Yun Qi said again.
"I miss the days when I could walk normally." Yun Qixi said gloomily.
After wrapping it up, Yun Qi stood up and poured himself a cup of tea with his slender fingers. "You were too impulsive just now."
Yun Qixi did not think much of it, "But after my previous attempt, don't you think that he is even more suspicious? If I am not suspecting him now, then I can be certain of it."
Yun Qi put down his teacup and pondered. "No, I don't think it's that simple."
"Just watch, the fox will reveal his tail sooner or later." Yun Qixi believed in her judgement.
But when she quieted down, she thought of another problem. Xiang Fei was one of Shan Liancheng's subordinates, if the culprit was really Xiang Fei, then could the culprit be Shan Liancheng? He didn't seem like such a crazy person. However, she didn't know much about him after all. She wasn't sure, and he couldn't deny it. He could only slowly wait for the truth to surface.
In the evening, they gathered everyone in a large room and made their beds on the floor. Fortunately, it was summer and not cold. Many people were curious as to why they were doing this, but they only answered perfunctorily that they were not prepared to tell the truth for the sake of each other's care, for fear of causing a greater panic.
Everyone had fallen asleep, but when Yun Qixi thought about how the truth was slowly nearing, her mind was extremely excited. She sat against the wall, completely awake.
Yun Qi sat beside her and leaned his head against the wall. He tilted his head to look at her and asked with a smile, "You don't want to sleep yet?"
Yun Qixi shook her head, "I don't want to."
Suddenly, she thought of a problem. She let out a low cry, afraid that she would wake up the others. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
"What's wrong?" Yun Qi looked at her in surprise.
Yun Qixi looked at him with a bitter face, "Say, none of us should be a match for Xiang Fei, right? If we gather everyone together, won't he be able to take care of us all?"
After hearing what she had to say, Yun Qi relaxed his expression and smiled. "You're thinking too much."
She wished she had thought too much, she had thought too much, she had analyzed things sharply, and then she had thought of something else. It had been two days since she last returned to the Duke's Palace. She wondered what kind of situation the Duke Palace was in, if Qiao Er could hold it in and remember her words.
The sunlight that shone through the window roused her. She raised her head and met Yun Qi's faintly smiling eyes. Only then did she realize that she had fallen asleep at an unknown time, and that she had fallen asleep while leaning on Yun Qi's shoulder.
"You're awake?" Yun Qi asked with a smile.
Yun Qixi propped up her head, as though she was still not clear-headed enough. She looked outside the window as if she was sleepwalking, and was at a loss for a moment.
"Daybreak?"
Yun Qi gave a soft grunt of acknowledgement.
Yun Qixi's consciousness suddenly came back to reality, and shouted loudly, "Is everyone alright?"
Seeing her nervous appearance, Yun Qi gently smiled. "Very well, don't worry."
Yun Qixi smashed her head in frustration, "Why did I fall asleep?"
"Don't." Yun Qi held her hand to stop her mistreatment. "There's no need for so many people to watch the night. I alone will be enough."
"You haven't slept all night?"
Yun Qi looked at her guilty face and smiled. "I'm a man."
With that, he stood up, but her movements were a bit stiff. Seeing him rubbing her shoulder, Yun Qixi felt even more guilty.
"I'll be on guard tonight." she said suddenly.
Yun Qi turned his head and looked at her with a smile. "I said it already, I'm a man."
Yun Qixi nimbly stood up and tried to raise her head so that she would be smaller. She looked at Yue Yang seriously.
"A man shouldn't underestimate a woman."
Yun Qi seemed to be amused by her and smiled deeply. He only said, "I don't dare."
Their plan allowed everyone to live a peaceful night. Yun Qixi felt very accomplished, but she did not dare to relax. After all, in her eyes, the danger had not been resolved.
Sure enough, that night, something happened.
