Chapter 6 The Qin family's bandit career has no successor
In order not to arouse suspicion, Lou Yan lied about Xiao Jue's illness and asked for medicine.
Now that the medicine was served, the patient Xiao Jue did not want to drink it.
In addition to the fact that he was not sick at all, the bowl of medicine exuded a strong and nauseating smell.
Lou Yan didn't want to embarrass him. He wanted to deal with it secretly while no one was around, but before he could deal with it, Qin Zhen came in.
As soon as Lou Yan saw Qin Zhen, his heart skipped a beat. He stood up, stepped forward to block Xiao Jue on the bed, and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I heard that you are sick, so I came to take a look." Qin Zhen said, "After all, I saved your life."
Lou Yan: "Thank you for your concern, but it's not serious. The medicine has been delivered. He will be fine after taking it."
"Really?" Qin Zhen curled her lips, raised her hand to push Lou Yan away, and walked to the bed to look at Xiao Jue.
Looking up and down, Qin Zhen said: "You look good."
Xiao Jue looked gentle and looked at Qin Zhen with gentle eyes: "Thank you for coming to see me. I'm very touched."
When Qin Zhen looked at Xiao Jue's eyes, she suddenly felt a surge of rage in her heart, wishing to cut this man into pieces.
She immediately looked away and her eyes fell on the bowl of medicine: "Aren't you sick? How can you get better if you don't drink medicine?"
Xiao Jue's expression froze, and then he said: "It's a little hot."
Qin Zhen personally brought the medicine bowl forward and said, "It doesn't feel hot to the touch. You have to drink this medicine while it's hot. It won't be as effective when it's cold. Come, I'll feed you."
Xiao Jue frowned, raised his hand to block the edge of the bowl, and said, "Leave it for now, I'll wait..."
"No," Qin Zhen's face darkened, she took Xiao Jue's hand away forcefully, and put the medicine bowl to Xiao Jue's lips: "If you don't drink medicine, how can you get better?"
Xiao Jue was already a little angry. No one had ever dared to treat him like this.
Seeing that he was still refusing, Qin Zhen suddenly said coolly: "If you refuse to take medicine... could you be pretending to be sick?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jue couldn't say any words of rejection immediately, and the hairs all over his body stood up.
Did she know something?
Lou Yan on the other side stepped forward and took the medicine bowl from Qin Zhen's hand and said, "How can I bother you to give the medicine in person? I'll take care of this kind of thing."
After that, he handed the medicine bowl forward and said in a deep voice: "Master, drink it."
Xiao Jue: "..."
Xiao Jue and Lou Yan looked at each other, finally took the medicine bowl, gritted their teeth and drank the medicine from the bowl.
As soon as the bowl was put down, Xiao Jue couldn't help retching and his face turned pale.
Lou Yan had quick hands, picked up the tea cup and poured it into Xiao Jue's mouth.
Xiao Jue took a few sips and finally suppressed the disgusting smell.
"Good medicine is bitter, sir, please bear with it." After Qin Zhen said this, she turned around and walked out.
It seemed as if she was here specifically to supervise Xiao Jue as he drank the medicine.
When she walked to the door, Qin Zhen suddenly stopped and told the people guarding the door: "That medicine will be delivered for three days in a row, three meals a day, and no less."
The man guarding the door coughed slightly, looked inside with some sympathy, and agreed in a low voice.
As soon as Qin Zhen left, there was a bang in the room.
Xiao Jue slammed the empty medicine bowl to the ground.
"Did you hear what she said?" Xiao Jue turned blue and shouted at Lou Yan: "Look at the good things you did!"
Lou Yan ignored Xiao Jue's hysteria and said calmly: "Master, this is Longhu Mountain."
At the same time, a loud shout came from outside the door: "Why are you making such a fuss!"
None of the little bandits have a good temper.
Xiao Jue in the room suddenly became silent and glared at Lou Yan fiercely with his eyes.
Lou Yan knew that he had done something wrong this time. He lowered his head and said softly: "I will find a way to leave here as soon as possible. Master, I won't bear with you anymore."
When Xiao Jue heard this, his face darkened and he said, "Let's talk about it later."
After finishing speaking, he sighed and said angrily: "What kind of medicine is this? It has a strange smell. I won't feel any good after taking it, right?"
"She shouldn't kill us," Lou Yan said: "If she wants our lives, why bring us back."
Xiao Jue: "Then she really cares about me?"
Lou Yan: "..."
Lou Yan frowned, always feeling that Qin Zhen's attitude was a bit strange and confusing.
Xiao Jue got angry when he saw him like that and chased him away: "Get out of here, I'm annoying you."
Lou Yan turned around and left the room, sitting down on a chair outside. The room was so big, and he could only move so far.
On the other side, Qin Zhen came out of the house and went straight to the meeting hall of Longhu Mountain.
When she arrived, Qin Hong was looking down at the letter. When he saw Qin Zhen, he quickly greeted him: "Zhen Zhen, come here quickly. Your elder brother has written a letter back."
Qin Zhen was stunned, and her steps were a little faster.
Speaking of which, Qin Hong has been a bandit all his life, but the children he gave birth to did not inherit anything from him.
The eldest of the two sons, Qin Yi, was bent on studying to gain fame and left Longhu Mountain early. He only wrote two letters a year to show that he was still alive.
The second child, Qin Xiao, was addicted to making money, so he left Longhu Mountain early and entered the world of business to make money.
The two brothers have their own ambitions and are not interested in Qin Hong's position as the head of Longhu Mountain.
As for his youngest daughter, Qin Zhen, he had grown up in the palm of his hand. She stayed in the village, but she was raised by him to be sweet and soft, and she didn't look like a bandit at all.
The Qin family's banditry career ended after Qin Hong, and there was no successor.
Qin Hong is also open-minded and supports whatever his children want to do.
When her two brothers left home when they were young, Qin Zhen was still a toddler. Therefore, her impression of her two brothers was very vague, and she didn't even have deep feelings for them.
She even almost broke up with her two brothers because of Xiao Jue.
However, the two brothers really loved her as a little sister and always thought of her. But she didn't understand in her previous life.
In the end, the two older brothers who were implicated, along with their father, died a miserable death.
When she heard the news about her eldest brother again in this life, Qin Zhen couldn't bear the sourness in her heart. She quickly took a few steps forward and read the letter from her eldest brother together with Qin Hong.
Qin Zhen remembered that this year, her eldest brother should have passed the scientific examination and entered the court as an official.
In her last life, Qin Zhen didn't remember that her eldest brother had received a letter at this time.
After thinking about it, it was probably because I was having a heated fight with Xiao Jue that I didn't notice the letter from my eldest brother.
The letter contained a few greetings as usual and a brief explanation of his situation. He had indeed entered the court as an official.
At the end of the letter, the eldest brother suddenly changed the topic and mentioned that the court wanted to suppress bandits, asking his father to prepare in advance.
Qin Zhen was shocked when she saw this: It turns out that her elder brother had warned her earlier?
The next moment, Qin Hong sneered and said: "The imperial court has been making trouble to suppress bandits every year, when has it ever taken it seriously? The thunder is loud and the rain is small, it's just to scare people."
Qin Zhen: "..."
It turned out that my father didn't take his elder brother's prompt seriously at all.
Qin Zhen grabbed Qin Hong's sleeve and said in a deep voice: "Father, maybe you are serious this time?"
