Although he was negotiating with Jing, Jiang Ke never let down his guard.
Jing Shi was originally Jiang Yan's bodyguard, and he excelled in martial arts. In addition, his physical function was now close to that of Mo Qing. Ordinary people without heavy weapons would not be able to resist him.
Therefore, when Jing Shi was approaching, Jiang Ke raised his arm and raised a handful of powder in his hand, which happened to catch Jing Shi's eyes.
This was the poison Mo Qing forced on Jiang Ke.
It was originally used to deal with the enemies following behind, but unexpectedly, it was now being used on one of our own people.
When Jing Shi saw the poisonous powder coming, he realized the danger, but it was too late to dodge and he was hit. However, he only paused for a moment and wanted to take Jiang Ke's life before the poison was released.
Jiang Ke seized this moment and distanced himself from Jing Shi.
The surroundings were filled with thick fog and it was quiet. The sound of Jingshi's movements could be clearly heard.
Just as Jiang Ke was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a familiar voice mixed with doubts——
"Why are you two here?"
!!
Mo Qing!
Jiang Ke and Jing Shi's movements were both one-stop.
The two of them restrained their body movements almost in unison, then tilted their heads and looked in the direction where Mo Qing's voice came from.
At first, I could only see a vague outline of a figure, and the sound of shoes stepping on the weeds was obvious.
Gradually, she got closer and closer, and her figure became clearer.
She was wearing a black jacket, which was obviously not hers. The size was too big. She didn't unzip the jacket, and the placket was open. The quick-drying jacket underneath did belong to her.
Her hair was tied into a ponytail as usual, clean and neat.
They just watched quietly as she walked between the two of them.
She looked at Jiang Ke and then at Jing Shi, her brows furrowed in the darkness: "I'm talking to you two, why is there no response at all?"
"..."
"..."
Neither Jiang Ke nor Jing Shi spoke in time.
Mo Qing couldn't help but mutter: "I won't be tricked, am I hallucinating?"
"No."
It was Jiang Ke who finally spoke.
He said: "I came in through the fog tonight, and just met the well - Chi Shi."
"What about you?" Mo Qing turned to look at the taciturn Jing, "Have you recovered your memory? What did you do when you left Song Yiyuan behind?"
Jing Shi looked at Mo Qing and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
However, Jiang Ke noticed that something was wrong with Mo Qing: "What happened to you?"
I was far away and didn't notice.
Jiang Ke hadn't noticed it until he was far away, but now that he was closer, he discovered that the clothes under Mo Qing's coat were covered with white stains, as if a large basin of milk had been poured on it.
There were such marks on her hair and trousers.
Mo Qing glanced down and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, blood."
Jing Shi's expression slightly condensed, and something strange finally appeared on his expressionless face: "Did you kill them?"
"Kill." Mo Qing said calmly, "Do you have something to tell me?"
Jing Shi hesitated: "Go back first."
"Okay," Mo Qing held a dagger in her hand, stained with white blood. She shook it casually twice and said in a light voice, "If I hadn't run into you two, I wouldn't be able to stop killing."
Jing Shi's expression changed slightly.
Jiang Ke stared at Mo Qing with complicated eyes - he could feel that something was wrong with Mo Qing's mood.
Mo Qing seemed to be normal, but she was not a fool. She must have noticed the stalemate between herself and Jing Shi at a glance.
With her character, it was impossible not to ask.
She also mentioned the matter of Jing Shi's recovery of memory in an understatement, as if she already knew about it...
Jiang Ke's Adam's apple rolled, he looked away, picked up his backpack from the ground, and didn't get too close to Mo Qing.
Mo Qing glanced at him and said nothing.
Mo Qing led the way.
Jing Shi was the first to follow, but as he walked forward, Jiang Ke suddenly raised his hand to block him.
Jing Shi's sharp eyes immediately glanced at Jiang Ke.
But Jiang Ke flipped his palm and handed him a small porcelain bottle - it was the antidote to the poisonous powder just now.
Jing Shi's body has begun to show symptoms now, but he has a special constitution and does not have to take it. He wanted to ask Jiang Ke why he was given the antidote, but he glanced at Mo Qing, who had extraordinary senses, and finally did not speak and took the poison.
.
Jiang Ke walked towards Mo Qing carrying his bag.

As the thick fog fell, the air became increasingly cold and biting. The fog stained the clothes and the ends of the hair solidified into water droplets. As time went by, the water droplets connected together and became wet.
The three of them walked a long way.
Before I could see the habitable house clearly, I saw two kerosene lamps hanging on two wooden poles in front of the door.
The dim yellow and dim kerosene lamps only had a faint glow in the thick fog. Looking from a distance, the outline of the house was half hidden in it. This strange, cold, and silent village was forgotten because of these two kerosene lamps.
Something romantic and warm.
There is also a kerosene lamp hanging on the wooden door.
Song Yiyuan sat on the high threshold, staring blankly ahead.
He suddenly noticed three figures. He looked up as if he was frightened. After using the dim light to see clearly that it was Mo Qing and the others, he felt happy at first, and then complicated emotions emerged, covering up his joy.
"I didn't expect you three to come back together." Song Yiyuan stood up to greet them.
Jingshi looked around: "Are you the only one?"
He is asking Abu.
Song Yiyuan raised his eyes, his eyelids slowly fell again, and he half-covered his eyes: "He's not here."
The matter with Abu goes back three hours.
After seeing clearly that what Abu was holding was the food provided by Xiao Yuqun's group, Song Yiyuan guessed that Abu had snatched it, and the owner of the thing was most likely killed.
Song Yiyuan, who had long regarded Abu as a pet, could not help but connect Abu with the "beasts" and "monsters" recorded in the data.
Song Yiyuan did not lose control of his emotions, he just said one word - "Get out".
He didn't expect that Abu really understood.
At that moment, Abu's scarlet eyes seemed a little sad. He stared at Song Yiyuan for a long time, then put down the food, lowered his head and walked into the thick fog.
He never came back after that.
After he left, Song Yiyuan felt regretful and uneasy for some reason. His thoughts couldn't calm down for a long time, so he kept sitting at the door.
Song Yiyuan wanted to adjust his mood and have a good talk with Abu, but before Abu came back, he saw Mo Qing and the others.
"He will come back on his own," Itoki said.
Mo Qing glanced at him and said calmly: "Why has everyone lost their minds, but not Abu?"
Jingshi paused slightly: "It's almost here."
"What do you mean?" Song Yiyuan asked hurriedly, "Did you remember something?"
Jing Shi looked at Song Yiyuan, and then turned his attention to Mo Qing.
Song Yiyuan suddenly shut up.
——He can be sure that Chi Shi has recovered his memory!
——How could Chi Shi be so cold in the past?!
But before he could continue his slander, he was shocked by what Isuki said next——
"Given Abu's current condition," Jing Shi paused, "in three years, he will be like those people outside the village."
Mo Qing was just surprised for a moment and then returned to normal - as if his guess had been confirmed.
Jiang Ke stayed out of the matter.
Only Song Yiyuan suddenly raised his head with a shocked and confused expression: "What did you say?"
"Those people"?
Are Abu and those outside the village... "people"?
