Seeing his flustered look, Lu Ning suddenly became suspicious.
However, she still calmly dragged Hu Qi behind the tree and placed him there, then comforted him: "You hide here, I'll go out and take a look!"
Hu Qi grabbed her and said, "Miss Lu, I know you are very skilled, but I'm seriously injured now and it's already dragging you down. It's better for us not to cause trouble."
Lu Ning gently advised: "Master Hu, although this is a mountainous area, it is a road frequently used by caravans and many businesses. Very few bandits pass by here during the day. Don't worry, I will be careful!"
After that, she brought a bunch of leaves, sprinkled them on Hu Qi as a cover, and left alone. Hu Qi looked at her slender back and hesitated to speak.
Lu Ning quickly climbed up a tree, hid among the dense branches and leaves, and secretly watched the situation on the mountain road.
The sound of horse hooves gradually approached along with the sound of camel bells, and the figures on the horses gradually became clearer: the leader was a tall, thick and dark man. He was riding a tall black horse and led seven or eight strong and healthy people.
The man came on horseback.
Seeing this person's appearance clearly, Lu Ning was overjoyed and couldn't help shouting: "Toto, Toto!"
The leading man immediately reined in his horse and stopped, looking around.
"Toto! I'm in the tree!" Lu Ning leaned out half of his body and waved to him desperately to attract his attention.
"Little deer!" Toto saw the girl in red under the green leaves at a glance, and immediately grinned: "I finally found you!"
Lu Ning jumped down from the tree, landed right in front of Totuo, and said excitedly: "I came to Lingzhou to find you! I didn't expect to see you here!"
Toto flew off the horse and rushed to Lu Ning. He grabbed her arms and looked up and down: "What happened? How did you do this?"
Lu Ning knew that he must be looking embarrassed at this time, so he could only smile and said: "It's nothing, I met someone who was attacked by a pack of wolves, so I helped him!"
Toto raised his thick eyebrows and said angrily: "What do you care what he does! If you are attacked by a pack of wolves, you will be fine!"
Lu Ning smiled and hurriedly comforted him: "Aren't I just standing in front of you? By the way, why are you here? Who is following you?"
Toto grabbed Lu Ning's shoulders and said worriedly: "I received a letter from Mr. Murong, saying that you suddenly left without saying goodbye and that you might have come to Lingzhou, so I hurriedly came out to greet you."
Hearing this, Lu Ning lowered his head in shame: "It seems that the master understands me. He must be worried that I left without saying goodbye this time!"
"I'm so anxious too!" Toto shouted quickly: "I have been patrolling the roads you may take with these brothers from Lingzhou all day long, for fear of missing you!"
Lu Ning looked at him with full eyes and said with emotion: "Brother loves me the most, I know it!"
With that said, she walked up to the brothers and cupped her hands: "Thank you brothers for making everyone worry!"
Everyone hurriedly returned the favor and said, "Please, please don't be polite to us. Seeing that you are safe, everyone is relieved!"
"Then let's go down the mountain quickly! Uncle Ye knows you are coming and is looking forward to it every day!" When Toto saw Lu Ning, he was as happy as a three-year-old child.
"Wait a minute!" Lu Ning pulled Toto towards the tree where Hu Qi was hiding, and explained: "The man who was attacked by the wolves was seriously injured and needs to go down the mountain for treatment. We have to take him with us!"
However, at this time, there was nothing under the tree. Only a few leaves stained with blood could be seen, but no one was anywhere.
"Where are the people?" Toto scratched his scalp and looked around blankly.
Lu Ning looked at the intermittent bloodstains on the ground and sighed: "This young man was first chased by gangsters and then surrounded by wolves. He was obviously frightened. He probably thought you were bandits, so he hid in fear!"
With that said, Lu Ning walked along the blood trail and shouted loudly: "Master Hu, don't be afraid! They are my brothers, not bandits and bullies!"
After a while, I heard a weak voice: "Miss Deer, I, I'm here!"
Totuo and Lu Ning pushed aside the grass and found Hu Qi, who was pale and covered in blood.
He fell to the ground and looked dying.
Lu Ning frowned and said, "Why don't you just stay there? If you move, your injury will be serious again!"
Hu Qici gasped and said weakly: "Yes, I'm sorry, I thought the bandits were coming!"
"Who are you calling a bandit?" Tuotuo walked over with his eyes rounded, glaring at Hu Qi angrily.
Hu Qi couldn't help but tremble all over when he looked at the tall, mighty and ugly Totuo, and couldn't say a word.
Lu Ning quickly grabbed Toto and said, "Brother, don't scare him!" As she said that, she squatted next to Hu Qi and said softly: "Master Hu, this is my brother Toto! He is not a bandit, you don't have to be afraid.
!」
Hu Qi plucked up the courage and looked at the visitor again: Toto was tall, eagle-eyed, and majestic. He was such a big man! Although he was still a little afraid, he couldn't help but secretly applaud.
He quickly clasped his fists and said, "Hu's words just now offended me, please don't blame me, strong man!"
"That's it, that's it! I can't stand such a formal young man like you!" Seeing that he was seriously injured, Toto waved his hand and refused to argue with him.
He knelt down, pulled off Hu Qi's clothes, frowned and said, "Fortunately, I brought medicine with me! Seeing that your injuries are so serious, you'd better apply medicine first and then go down the mountain for treatment."
After that, he took the medicine from his horse and began to apply Hu Qi's wounds.
With a sound of "Ah", Hu Qi took a breath and hurriedly pushed Toto's hand away: "Brother Toto, I, my injury is fine, let's go down the mountain quickly!"
Toto was very puzzled: "You are bleeding, and I am afraid you will die before you get down the mountain! Why, do you look down on me?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare." Hu Qi lowered his eyes, clenched his gums, and looked embarrassed.
Lu Ning sighed and took the medicine from Totuo's hand: "Brother, I'll do it! You and your brothers should take a rest first."
Toto chewed the flower and had no choice but to leave in frustration.
Lu Ning carefully applied the medicine to Hu Qi and said softly: "Master, don't mind, my brother is straightforward and has no ill intentions. He is a bit harsh, so don't take it to heart!"
Hu Qi endured the pain and reluctantly raised the corners of his mouth: "It doesn't matter, I can see that Brother Totuo means well..." Before he finished speaking, Hu Qi took another breath.
"Does it hurt?" Lu Ning quickly stopped and looked at Hu Qi worriedly.
Hu Qi gritted her teeth and shook her head: "No, it's okay. I can bear this little pain."
Lu Ning looked at his bloodless face and couldn't bear to say: "These wounds have worsened. Applying medicine at this time will indeed be very painful. You have to bear it!"
Hu Qi gritted her teeth and smiled bitterly: "Why don't Miss Lu talk to me, so that I won't think about the pain on my body!"
"Well, what do you want to say, Master?" Lu Ning responded and continued to apply medicine on him.
Hu Qi thought for a moment and asked, "How about Miss Lu tell me about the caravan? Hu is very curious about you."
Lu Ning thought for a moment and then said eloquently: "The caravan was founded by his adoptive father. At first, the caravan only transported goods from the south to the north for sale. As the business grew, the caravan has set up branches in many towns.
, the business is not just transportation.”
Hu Qi was immediately shocked: "So you are the daughter of the leader of the caravan? In other words, the young leader of the caravan?"
And patience: "The most important thing for our caravan is credibility and keeping promises! Every time the goods are transported, we must ensure that the goods arrive at the destination intact. Along the way, we will be responsible for every mule and every goods to the end."
If there is any accident, even if we suffer a loss, we must ensure the interests of our customers! This is the reason why we are based in the world and become the number one in the world!"
Hu Qi hurriedly held up his hands and said in shock: "I see, Hu made a mistake! However, it must have been extremely difficult to eat and sleep in the open air along the way. How could a woman as beautiful as a girl do such a hard thing?"
Lu Ning looked at him with a smile and asked: "Who said that what you men can do, we women can't do? I grew up with my adoptive father and slept in the open all the time!"
Seeing her staring at him with a smile, Hu Qi couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. He quickly lowered his eyes and laughed at himself: "Look at me, I said the wrong thing again! That's right, I'm a grown man, and I wasn't rescued from the wolves by a girl.
from!"
Hearing this, Lu Ning couldn't help but smile.
Toto came over with two bowls and handed one to Lu Ning: "Let the brothers eat something before going down the mountain!"
Lu Ning took the rice bowl, took two bites, and nodded: "Yeah, no problem. Let's start eating!"
"Okay!" Toto turned his head and shouted to the dozen brothers behind him: "Let's eat!"
Everyone immediately sat on the ground, picked up their bowls and started eating.
Toto brought another bowl and handed it to Hu Qi: "Eat, only when you are full can you have the strength to heal your injuries!"
Hu Qi took over the job and looked at Lu Ning blankly: "You weren't... testing poison just now, were you?"
Toto sat down next to him: "As the young gang leader, Xiaolu should test the poison for the brothers! What's wrong?"
Hu Qi frowned slightly: "I have only heard of eunuchs in the palace testing poison for the emperor, but I have never heard of a woman testing poison for a group of men in the arena!"
At this time, he completely lost his appetite for the food in front of him.
Toto finished the food in several mouthfuls, wiped his lips and said, "It's not that we bully Xiaolu, our old gang leader did the same thing!"
Hu Qi was even more puzzled: "Aren't you afraid that the gang leader will be poisoned? Then wouldn't everyone be leaderless?"
"You don't understand this!" Toto cracked his mouth and said with a chuckle: "The leader of the gang tests poison for the brothers. That is the friendship between the rivers and lakes. It is because of this that the brothers are willing to follow her! The emperor, old man,
He is afraid that people will poison him, how can this be compared?"
Hu Qi nodded in approval and said, "Hu is really eye-opening today and has learned a lesson!" After that, he ate all the food in the bowl quickly.
Toto took out the wine bag, raised his head and drank a few sips, and then said: "The person who can be the leader of our gang has always said what he says, is decisive, and does what he says, without any jokes! He walks at the front on the transportation road.
I open the way for my brothers and test poison for my brothers while eating! The leader of the gang has always been the most prestigious person!"
Hu Qi turned to look at Lu Ning, a different color flashed across his face.
Lu Ning was a little embarrassed and stood up quickly: "Everyone has finished eating, let's go down the mountain quickly! When we get to Lingzhou Branch, the most important thing is to find a doctor to treat Mr. Hu!"
