Chapter 251: All the Ghosts
Li Mulan swallowed it in one gulp. Hmm, it still tasted the same. She was really hungry. Soon the bowl of porridge was empty. She looked at Qingyu eagerly. Qingyu served her another bowl and she finished it quickly.
Qingyu gently wiped the corner of her mouth, then said slowly, word by word, "I... will... go... get... the medicine."
"Okay."
Li Mulan closed her eyes and drank the bowl of black medicine. Ugh, it was so hard to drink. She had drunk such bitter medicine countless times since she was a child, but she still couldn't get used to it.
Before she could feel uncomfortable for long, a candy was stuffed into her mouth.
Li Mulan's eyes lit up instantly, "Sister knows me best."
Qingyu tucked her quilt in and said word by word, "Okay~Okay~Rest~"
"it is good."

Li Xiaoqi carried two sledgehammers and walked back with an annoyed look on his face.
"Hey? Xiaoqi, where have you been? I haven't seen you all day." Huo Yuanruo had just washed the ink stains off his face and changed his clothes.
Li Xiaoqi saw the big apple that Huo Yuanruo had taken a bite of, so he threw the sledgehammer to the ground, snatched the apple, and took a big bite without any disgust. "Didn't I tell you to go and avenge you and my master sister?"
Huo Yuanruo smacked his lips, then took out a large banana from his bosom and started eating, "Then we don't have to be gone for that long, right? From yesterday... to now?"
"Oh, don't mention it. Something went wrong over there."
Huo Yuanruo immediately became serious, "What's the problem? Didn't we capture the Chiya tribe? Didn't we rescue the people?"
Li Xiaoqi finished the apple in a few bites, still feeling unsatisfied. He stared at the banana in Huo Yuanruo's hand, scaring Huo Yuanruo so much that he swallowed the rest in one gulp.
Li Xiaoqi curled his lips helplessly, "All the people were rescued, but some of the regent's men were imprisoned in the underground palace by the Chiya people."
"What? What do you mean?"
"Oh, the regent's people are fighting with the Chiya people, but they are probably defeated because they activated some mechanism to block the entrance. And the boulder can't be broken no matter what we do." He kicked his two big hammers, "My hammer is so heavy, but it didn't hurt anything when I hit it. Brother Longyi and the others must have strong internal strength, but it didn't work."
Huo Yuanruo couldn't believe it. "No way, Brother Long Yi, can't he break the stone?"
Li Xiaoqi shrugged, "Yeah."
"What the hell is that? Why do the Chiya people always come up with weird things? The monster is one of them, and the stone is one of them too. It's really weird."
"Who said it wasn't? There's nothing we can do now. The last Ying Yi was also locked up in the underground palace. We don't know whether he is dead or alive now." Li Xiaoqi looked a little disappointed. That guy was quite powerful. It would be a pity if he died.
Huo Yuanruo patted Li Xiaoqi on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. Yingyi is so good at martial arts, it's not that easy for him to die. Those Chiya people only used this trick because they couldn't win. Don't worry, the regent king will not sit idly by."
Li Xiaoqi nodded, "Indeed, I just heard from that Xingyi that the Regent will be there in person soon. Isn't it said that he is very powerful? I haven't seen him yet."
"Really?" Huo Yuanruo also became interested. "When? I want to go too."
Li Xiaoqi waved his hands, "Why are you going? Aren't you still injured?"
"Hey? What's the big deal about my injury?" He patted his chest vigorously, "I'm fine, great."
"Really?" Li Xiaoqi obviously didn't believe it.
"How could it be false? Do you underestimate me?" Huo Yuanruo stared at Li Xiaoqi with a threatening and intimidating look, and was even ready to roll up his sleeves.
"Hey? Hey? Hey? I believe it, I believe it. Why are you so excited?"
"That's more like it. Call me when you go."
"Oh, okay. By the way, is the master sister awake?"
"I just woke up, but I still can't hear. I guess I'll be deaf for a while. Second Uncle said I should rest and lie down as long as I can."
Li Xiaoqi picked up two large hammers and said, "I'll go check on her."
Huo Yuanruo grabbed his arm and said, "Sister Qingyu said that you are not allowed to disturb Junior Master's rest. She will be angry."
"Oh, I won't disturb you. I'll just watch from the side. I won't disturb your rest."
After saying that, the man ran away, and Huo Yuanruo could only follow him.
Coincidentally, as soon as they went over, they saw Qingyu carrying a tray out of the tent. The two of them hid aside and waited until Qingyu's figure disappeared before they quietly entered Li Mulan's tent.
Seeing that the person on the couch was still sleeping soundly, the two men did not speak. They sat side by side on the ground beside the couch, staring at the sleeping person on the bed with their cheeks in their hands. They looked quite well-behaved, like two obedient big puppies.
When Li Mulan woke up again, an hour had passed.
When she opened her eyes, she saw two silly boys staring at her with big eyes, which scared her.
"Oh my god..." She shrank back reflexively, but she didn't expect that such a simple action would make her feel dizzy.
Li Mulan immediately closed her eyes and relaxed, stroking her forehead with her right hand, looking a little painful.
"Uncle Junior, are you okay?"
"Master sister, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to ask the Second Master to come and see you?"
Huo Yuanruo slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, Junior Uncle can't hear me, I'd better go find Second Uncle."
As he stood up and prepared to leave, Li Mulan grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "I... I'm fine. Don't go looking for anyone, so as not to make the second and sixth brothers worry."
Li Mulan slowly opened her eyes. "I just moved too much and I feel a little dizzy. I've taken some medicine and I'll be fine in a few days."
Huo Yuanruo's eyes were red. "You are lying. Second Master said that you were seriously injured. You are lucky, otherwise your head would have exploded long ago."
Although Li Mulan couldn't hear what Huo Yuanruo said, she knew he was worried about her because of his red eyes. "Don't tell me you're going to cry. You're too old, aren't you embarrassed?"
Huo Yuanruo wiped his eyes casually and said stubbornly, "I'm not crying, my eyes just hurt."
Seeing that Li Mulan didn't notice him, Li Xiaoqi pushed Huo Yuanruo aside and said, "Master sister, are you still upset? Don't worry, I went to avenge you yesterday. Although... although I haven't had the chance to see that monster yet, I didn't let those bad guys have an easy time either. I..."
Huo Yuanruo grabbed his collar and pulled him aside, "You're talking so much nonsense. Junior Master can't hear you. Watch me."
Huo Yuanruo picked up the paper and pen beside the couch and started the "you say, I write" pattern again.
