Tomb robber: I am the tenth of the nine gates

"Xiao Ning?" Qi Tiezui stepped back slightly and noticed that the person in his arms had his hand pressing on his chest. His eyes were filled with worry.

Chu Ning raised his head and smiled, "Master Ba, I'm fine."

Qi Tiezui frowned and nodded, obviously not believing Chu Ning's words.

It seems that they need to speed up. Neither he nor Adjutant Zhang can treat the disease. Master Buddha has Yin Xinyue's cousin Mo Ce, who can also take a look at Chu Ning.

"What should we do with these two people?"

Qi Tiezui asked Adjutant Zhang, and Adjutant Zhang increased the strength in his hands. He did not miss the aggrieved expression of the child when he pounced on Qi Tiezui just now.

But for a moment he didn't know what to do with these two people. They were already hiding from Lu Jianxun's search, so it was not a good idea to act rashly.

When the two men saw how difficult their situation was, they couldn't help but feel happy, thinking that they had escaped a disaster.

Chu Ning noticed the relief in the two men's eyes. If they were tied up, there was no guarantee that trouble would not arise.

"It's not convenient for us to come forward, so why not leave it to Second Master?

Didn’t Second Master send a message yesterday saying that he had contacted Chen Pi? Let’s consider this as Chen Pi’s gift to Lu Jianxun.”

Adjutant Zhang's eyes lit up. This was a good idea.

"Then do as Xiao Ning said.

I will tie them up first and send them out to meet the Second Master in the evening."

Qi Tiezui and Chu Ning nodded, "Be careful."

Although they often quarreled on weekdays, Qi Tiezui still cared a lot about Adjutant Zhang when it came to serious matters.

“Okay, you guys stay safe too.

You all should act together and keep an eye on Xiao Ning. He has a special physique and there is no guarantee that he will not be targeted by someone with ulterior motives."

When Adjutant Zhang heard Qi Tiezui's caring words, his eyebrows curved slightly, with a faint smile on the corners of his mouth, and he did not forget to give Qi Tiezui a word of advice.

Then he covered their mouths, took them through a small path and left.

When Zheng Qiping and Bai Zhongjie saw Adjutant Zhang's weird smile, beads of sweat suddenly appeared on their foreheads and they felt pain all over their bodies.

The two of them thought that Adjutant Zhang was going to take them to a deserted place and beat them up, and they were happy about it...

Here, Chu Ning and Qi Tiezui watched Adjutant Zhang disappear and looked away.

"Let's go."

After Qi Tiezui finished speaking, he bent down and picked up the wooden barrel.

Chu Ning looked at Qi Tiezui's red face and felt a little reluctant.

"Master Ba, let me do it."

Qi Tiezui pretended not to care and took a deep breath, "No need! The adults can handle these things!

You lead the way!"

Seeing that Qi Tiezui was obviously unwilling, Chu Ning had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Qi Tiezui, who was behind him, showed a painful expression the moment Chu Ning turned around. His whole face turned the color of liver and he walked forward with unsteady steps.

Qi Tiezui considers himself as Chu Ning's brother after all. If he wants to be good to the child, then of course he has to implement it in all aspects.

It's okay to be lazy at ordinary times, but at times like this, he will naturally stand up.

The adjutant left temporarily, and I looked after Xiao Ning alone. I must not let Xiao Ning see my weak side!

Qi Tie walked towards his mouth, his eyes becoming more determined.

I am such a good brother!

But I couldn't stop wailing in my heart: I never thought that one day I, Qi Tiezui, would have to do this manual labor myself just because of someone.

Qi Tiezui was just thinking about it when he felt the force on his hand lighten, and Chu Ning was holding the other end of the handle of the wooden barrel.

“There’s a staircase in front.

This wooden barrel is already heavy, and it becomes even heavier once it is wet with water."

In order to take care of Qi Tiezui's self-esteem, Chu Ning tried his best to be careful with his words.

Qi Tiezui didn't care about these and looked at Chu Ning with kind and caring eyes.

Ah~ The child has grown up and knows how to feel sorry for others!

Chu Ning avoided his sight because of Qi Tiezui's loving gaze, and the Eighth Master showed such a look again.

I don't know how many times I've been on this journey. If I find Master Fo and Sister Yue, I will definitely ask Doctor Mo Ce to check on Master Ba...

[Suburbs—Country Wooden House]

Zhang Qishan's lips were pale and he was sweating all over. He was lying on the bed with a frown on his face and his eyes closed.

It seemed like I had dreamed about something bad, so I didn't sleep well.

Yin Xinyue sat by the bed and placed a wet towel on Zhang Qishan's forehead. This was the nth day that she had stayed up late to stay by the bed.

Mo Ce came in with a basin of water and took out the thermometer to check.

"how's it going?"

Yin Xinyue asked Mo Ce softly.

Mo Ce's expression was solemn, "I don't have a fever, but my skin is burning hot.

Cousin, I don’t know the reason either.”

Mo Ce lowered his eyes and looked at Yin Xinyue with an apologetic expression.

Yin Xinyue shook her head and reached out to hold Zhang Qishan's hand on the bed.

He stared at Zhang Qishan without moving, with heartache in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I will find a way to save you."

After saying that, she placed Zhang Qishan's palm against her cheek, feeling the warmth in his palm, and tried her best to hold back her tears.

Mo Ce watched how Yin Xinyue took care of Zhang Qishan along the way, and knew how their relationship was warming up. Zhang Qishan also cared about Yin Xinyue.

“The most important thing right now is to lower the temperature of my brother-in-law’s skin.

It’s just that my brother-in-law’s illness has been very strange in the past two days. He is fine during the day and just sleeps, but once it’s night, his body starts to feel hot.”

Yin Xinyue took out a small bottle of medicine from his pocket. This was given to him by Chu Ning. It was with this bottle of medicine that Zhang Qishan was able to stay conscious.

But the medicine is almost running out.

On the one hand, Mo Ce was helpless about Zhang Qishan's illness, but on the other hand, he was thinking about researching it. After all, he couldn't solve the problem with his own medical skills, but this pill could.

Feeling the temperature of Zhang Qishan's hot palm slowly cooling down, Yin Xinyue carefully stood up and left the house with Mo Ce.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death. Xiao Ning doesn't have many medicines left.

We are almost reaching Peking. I will go into the city and return to the Crescent Hotel to see if there is any solution.

My husband and the guards outside are now in your care."

Mo Ce also knew that Yin Xinyue and Zhang Qishan had been worried about Er Hong, Chu Ning, Qi Tiezui, Adjutant Zhang and others who stayed in Changsha.

"Okay, cousin, don't worry, I will never let anything happen to my brother-in-law."

Yin Xinyue put the small medicine bottle into Mo Ce's hand and said, "We also left marks along the way.

If Xiao Ning and the others come, you listen to them. If you still want to go north, send me a message and I will go straight to meet you.

By the way, please help me check if they are injured, especially Xiao Ning, he is not in good health.

I'm worried that he will not care about himself in order to save his husband."

Yin Xinyue's expression was solemn, and Mo Ce sighed in her heart that her cousin really cared about the child.

"Okay, cousin, don't worry, leave it to me.

Take care of yourself too, your brother-in-law is waiting for you."

Yin Xinyue nodded, went back to the house to take another look at Zhang Qishan, packed a small bag and set off back to Peking overnight.

【Han Camp】

When Chu Ning and Qi Tiezui returned to the post station, they saw the fat man waiting at the door.

The fat man saw the two men waving their arms enthusiastically.

Chu Ning and Qi Tiezui packed up and then went out to find the fat man.

The three of them found a small stall and sat down.

"Hey? Where's my brother? Why don't I see him?"

The fat man was a little confused when he saw that only Chu Ning and Qi Tiezui came.

Seeing that the fat man had no ill intentions and was just simply curious, Qi Tiezui opened his mouth to explain.

"He, he went out for something.

You know we just arrived and there are many things we need to do.”

The fat man nodded in understanding and turned around to hand two bowls of noodles to Chu Ning and Qi Tiezui.

"Are you hungry, little brother? Eat it while it's hot!"

Chu Ning smiled at the fat man, knowing that he was very friendly, "Thank you, Brother Fatty."

The fat boy immediately smiled happily. He also wanted a younger brother as obedient as this.

"What have you found out?" Qi Tiezui interrupted the fat man's silly smile, glanced at Chu Ning, and glared at the fat man.

Talking is one thing, but don’t always kidnap your own children!

"Ah, I've been asking my friends about it.

But the news was very fragmentary. Sometimes they said he had seen him in the deep mountains, and sometimes they said he had seen him beside a stream in the valley.

They point in different directions.”

Chu Ning drank the noodle soup and looked at Qi Tiezui, "This should be what Sister Yue put out to confuse Lu Jianxun."

Qi Tiezui nodded in agreement, Chu Ning put down the soup bowl and asked the fat man.

"Brother Fatty, can you tell me the specific locations?"

The fat man thought, "Ah, okay.

The woods to the north, the valleys to the east, the mountains to the south."

After listening to the fat man's words, Qi Tiezui thought, "North, east, south, these three directions are all there.

It will take Mr. Lu a while to find it.”

Chu Ning nodded, "Then we will."

Qi Tiezui looked up at Chu Ning, and their eyes met.

"West?"

"To the west."

Two voices came out of his mouth, and seeing Chu Ning's confident little expression, Qi Tiezui chuckled.

"It's just that we have all three directions, but isn't it strange that there is no west?"

Chu Ning asked Qi Tiezui for his opinion. Qi Tiezui thought for a moment, then turned to the fat man and said.

"Can you ask your fellow road friends to spread the news of the convoy seen in the west?"

The fat man patted his chest and nodded, "Okay, leave it to me."

"But it doesn't have to be too real, like encountering bandits or having your car break down or something like that."

Chu Ning added to the fat man.

The fat man nodded and said "OK."

Qi Tiezui knew that Chu Ning’s consideration was correct. It made no sense that there was no news from the west.

If there are really only three directions, then it would be a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt. However, Yin Xinyue must have thought of it as well. Now they are playing on the information gap.

Lu Jianxun's search in Changsha City was all-powerful, but when it came to searching outside the city, he was somewhat overwhelmed.

Compared with the other directions, the news that it appeared in the west at this moment sounded fake. It was obviously news that they wanted to make some money from Lu Jianxun, so they would be eliminated first.

And the direction of Beijing is definitely the first thing that comes to mind, but the mountains are high and the roads are long, so it is not the best choice.

By the time Lu Jianxun and his gang had checked everything and finally realized what was happening, they would probably have already found Master Fo and joined up with them.

I guess Yin Xinyue deliberately left this clue so that they could find it faster.

Qi Tiezui was reviewing the incident when he saw Chu Ning rummaging through his small pocket. He remembered that the small pocket contained medicine.

Before they entered Baiqiao Village, Chu Ning gave each of them a bottle. Sure enough, they saw Chu Ning handing a small bottle to the fat man, and the fat man took it with both hands.

"Fat brother, this is for you.

There are a few pills in here. If an elder in your family is sick, you can take these to help..."

Chu Ning tilted his head and organized his words.

This medicine was mixed with his...blood, but less than the one made for the girl and Zhang Qishan.

But eating it at the critical moment can still help the fat man recover. As long as the fat man is not beheaded directly, the internal and external injuries will heal in a day or two.

But if this effect were to be told to others, it would probably cause trouble.

So Chu Ning paused for a moment before continuing, “It can strengthen your body and help you recover from your injuries.

This is also our thank you gift to you, Fat Brother, thank you for helping us so much despite past grudges."

Chu Ning looked at the fat man sincerely with her big watery eyes. The fat man was hit and wanted to raise his hand to cover his heart.

"This is very valuable!"

The fat man looked up at Qi Tiezui and said he would return it to Chu Ning.

He knew that this person cared about Chu Ning, but he didn't know whether he should accept it or not.

Qi Tiezui's mouth twitched. This fat guy is quite capable of handling things.

"Take it! What are you looking at me for?

This is Xiao Ning's gift, just keep it!"

The fat man carefully put away the medicine bottle and smiled naively at Chu Ning.

"Thank you so much, little brother!

Let’s not say those polite words, we are all brothers! ”

The three of them came out to eat, but the stall didn't have any wine. The fat man looked around but couldn't find any, so he just picked up the bowl and drank the noodle soup in one gulp.

After drinking, Chu Ning burped, his eyes curved with a smile, and Qi Tiezui laughed and wanted to join in the fun.

Chu Ning quickly stopped him...

Adjutant Zhang came back early in the morning. Qi Tiezui occupied two beds by himself and slept soundly.

Adjutant Zhang walked towards the bed with light steps and saw Chu Ning's eyes open in the morning light.

Seeing that Adjutant Zhang was not injured, Chu Ning gave him a well-behaved smile.

Adjutant Zhang had worry in his eyes. The child's sleep was getting worse and worse.

"Rest, I'm fine. I'm sorry to have made Xiao Ning worried."

Adjutant Zhang touched Chu Ning's head, went to the bed and gently carried Qi Tiezui back to his own bed and lay down.

But before they could rest for long, everyone in the inn was called up.

"you.

And you.

Count you in too.

......"

Chu Ning stood next to Adjutant Zhang and saw the person in charge called out three or four men who looked strong and healthy.

It seems that Adjutant Zhang will definitely be selected. Chu Ning tilted his head slightly and looked at Adjutant Zhang.

Adjutant Zhang shook his head slightly. If the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers; if the water comes, we will block it with earth. Since we can't avoid it, we will just go with the flow.

The manager finally walked over here without even looking at Chu Ning.

Chu Ning: (n?_?)? Can't he see at his age?!

The steward raised his hand and squeezed Adjutant Zhang's shoulder, with satisfaction in his eyes, "Well, not bad.

Count me in. "

Qi Tiezui was standing on the left side of Adjutant Zhang, lowering his head to avoid the steward's gaze.

When the steward looked to the left, he turned right; when the steward looked to the right, he turned left.

From the corner of his eye, Adjutant Zhang saw Qi Tiezui looking around like a caterpillar.

The manager stood in front of Qi Tiezui and spoke in a critical tone. "You...are a little bit behind, but you can barely count."

Qi Tiezui: "Ah? Me?"

Looking at Adjutant Zhang's gaze, this matter might not be that simple.

After everyone had finished choosing, Chu Ning saw the manager was about to leave and hurriedly stopped him.

"Wait a minute, big brother. I want to go too."

The manager turned around and looked at Chu Ning, frowning, "Where are you going?! Do you know what you are going for? This is not the place for you to play!"

Chu Ning met the steward's gaze without fear, and pointed at Adjutant Zhang and Qi Tiezui beside him, "My brothers have all gone, I want to go too."

The manager then shifted his gaze from Chu Ning to Adjutant Zhang and Qi Tiezui, and saw that the two were indeed the people he had just chosen.

A trace of reluctance flashed across his eyes very quickly. When Chu Ning saw it, he wanted to go even more.

"You agree to let him come along?"

The manager really felt a little bit reluctant, as he had chosen all the brothers and their families...so he asked the two elder brothers again.

They definitely wouldn't leave Chu Ning here alone.

So Qi Tiezui smiled and replied to the steward, "Brother, please let us be together.

My younger brother has been with us since he was young. He is inseparable. "

Seeing that the reminder was useless, the manager said no more, asked someone to add another person to the list, and turned and left.

Chu Ning looked at those who were selected and received a big bag of silver with a serious expression. He felt that this trip might not be that simple.

I’m afraid…they want these people—they’ll come but never come back.
