Yun Duoduo was about to stand up. She also wanted to go out to find food with Li Yunqi. Gu Yuan pressed her arm calmly, and Yun Duoduo had to swallow what she wanted to say.
Gu Yuan said softly: "This will trouble you."
Li Yunqi's intuition told her that there seemed to be something wrong somewhere, but she thought carefully for a while and couldn't think of anything wrong.
Li Yunqi glanced at Gu Yuan and quickly left the cave.
After a while of burning incense, Li Yunqi came back.
Gu Yuan closed his eyes to rest his mind and said nothing.
A bonfire soon started burning at the entrance of the cave.
In the clay pot on the fire, there was a bunch of edible fungi that Li Yunqi had just collected. Among these mushrooms, there was actually a plump pheasant.
Before cooking, Li Yunqi very carefully brought the collected fungi to Gu Yuan and asked him to see if he had picked any poisonous mushrooms that were inedible.
Li Yunqi's behavior made Gu Yuan smile more and more towards her.
Li Yunqi also seemed very happy and took the initiative to take on more sundries.
The pheasant meat and mushrooms were cooked together, and the aroma of the soup soon drifted into the cave from the entrance.
Yun Duoduo had eaten several meals of solid food and was feeling hungry.
When I smelled the aroma of the thick soup, I couldn't help but want to try it.
Soon, a large pot of pheasant mushroom soup sprinkled with minced wild onions was brought into the cave by Li Yunqi.
The fragrant pheasant mushroom soup gave three people a full meal, and everyone was very satisfied.
Seeing Li Yunqi busy in the cave, Gu Yuan leaned on the cave wall and expressed his sincere gratitude to Li Yunqi.
"Li Yunqi, thank you so much today."
Li Yunqi smoothed her hair from her temples and smiled at Gu Yuan.
"What's the point? I'm a member of our team, and this is what I should do."
"If you hadn't let me stay in the team, I don't know if I would have survived out of the Green Sea."
After saying that, Li Yunqi raised his head and smiled at Gu Yuan, then walked out of the cave carrying the empty pot.
"Brother Gu Yuan, I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep."
After watching Li Yunqi leave, Yun Duoduo came over and said to Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan nodded and pointed to the hay bed Li Yunqi had prepared before.
"Duoduo, go over there and sleep peacefully. I won't put you in danger."
Yun Duoduo nodded obediently and soon fell asleep on the haystack beside Gu Yuan.
"Huh?
Duoduo, are you sleepy?
Why did you go to bed so early?"
After cleaning the pottery, Li Yunqi walked into the cave again, glanced at Yun Duoduo who had fallen asleep, and asked Gu Yuan.
"I guess I'm a little sleepy because I just ate so much.
She has been too tired recently, so let her sleep more."
"Don't tell me, even I am a little sleepy and want to lie down and have a good sleep."
After Gu Yuan finished speaking, he couldn't help but yawned loudly, with a hint of sleepiness on his face.
"Gu Yuan, since you are sleepy too, why don't you take a nap too?
You have been exhausted these past few days."
"Well, since I'm not sleepy anyway, I will guard the entrance of the cave for you.
Let me keep vigil tonight, and you all can have a good rest."
Li Yunqi said, took out a long sword from the treasure bag and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
"Okay, I'll spare you the trouble tonight. You stay awake for a while and I'll get up and replace you."
As Gu Yuan spoke, his eyes gradually closed, and soon there was no movement.
After a while, the sound of Gu Yuan's deep and slow breathing gradually sounded in the cave.
Seeing that Gu Yuan had already fallen asleep, Li Yunqi suddenly missed his hand and the sword fell to the stone on the ground.
A clanking sound rang out, and the impact of metal and stone resounded throughout the cave, even causing a brief echo.
Li Yunqi looked at the long sword that fell on the ground a little nonchalantly, then looked up at Gu Yuan and Yun Duoduo who were sleeping on the haystack.
The two of them were still sleeping soundly, without being awakened at all.
After confirming that neither of them showed any sign of waking up, Li Yunqi walked out of the cave with a proud smile on her face.
Li Yunqi walked out of the cave, took out a cylindrical object, lit it, and waved the object twice.
Outside the cave, after seeing Li Yunqi coming out with a smile on his face and signaling, two teenagers also walked out from behind a nearby big tree.
One of them asked anxiously.
"How's it going? Has the drug taken effect?"
Li Yunqi nodded and said with great certainty.
"Don't worry, they all fell asleep. They won't wake up in a few hours."
If Gu Yuan and Yun Duoduo in the cave saw the two young men talking to Li Yunqi at this moment, they would definitely recognize their identities immediately.
These two young men were Liu Wenbing and Kong Bowen, who had always been against Gu Yuan.
"That's great. It's not in vain for us to travel across mountains and rivers to follow you."
Kong Bowen gave him a high five with an excited smile on his face.
Having played against Gu Yuan several times before, Liu Wenbing and Kong Bowen were deeply impressed by Gu Yuan's strength.
In order to get Gu Yuan's treasure bag, the two of them had to find another way and spent a lot of money to find Li Yunqi for help, letting her join Gu Yuan's team and win Gu Yuan's trust.
Now it seems that all their efforts were in vain, Gu Yuan was indeed fooled.
Kong Bowen and Liu Wenbing followed Li Yunqi, and the three of them walked into the cave together.
The aroma of the pheasant mushroom soup still lingers in the air.
Gu Yuan fell asleep with Yun Duoduo because he drank the drugged pheasant mushroom soup.
Liu Wenbing rushed in impatiently.
Sure enough, in a slightly deeper part of the cave, the three of them saw a pile of hay, and a little girl was sleeping soundly on the pile of hay.
The man they feared was also leaning on the stone wall next to the haystack, with his eyes closed and his chest rising and falling slightly.
Gu Yuan's skills left a deep impression on Liu Wenbing.
Even now Gu Yuan is indeed leaning to the side with his eyes closed.
He still cautiously knocked his weapon against the stone wall beside him.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A sound of metal and rock colliding resounded throughout the cave. Kong Bowen and Li Yunqi, who followed into the cave, could not help but frown, cover their ears, and complained that Liu Wenbing had not notified them in advance.
But Liu Wenbing was not in the mood to pay attention to their complaints now. He just stared at Gu Yuan, paying attention to every detail of Gu Yuan's body. He was more worried than anyone else that Gu Yuan was pretending to sleep.
"It's great, I really fell asleep."
"If I had known it was so easy, we wouldn't have had to take risks before."
Seeing Gu Yuan still falling asleep despite such a loud and harsh sound, the joy on Liu Wenbing's face could no longer be concealed.
