She is the most beautiful rose

Chapter 293 Like a Kitten

Shen Manzhi stepped half way back before moving his shadow away from the skylight.

She leaned over and put her ear against the green tiles. She could only see a small part of the interior scene through her perspective, and vaguely heard Master Xun calling Xitu.

Back so soon?
She subconsciously turned around and looked towards the jungle where Qin Yanfeng had just hidden.

The forest was cold and deserted.

Her pupils constricted and her ten fingers that were supporting the tiles turned white. What was going on?

After the people in the room left, Shen Manzhi did not stay there, but turned around and climbed down the stairs along the same path. He jumped over the ground and left a circle of dead leaves on his clothes.

If Xitu came back, the people who were ambushing behind the stilt house should also come back, but there was no one here.

Her thoughts turned slightly, and she guessed that Qin Yanfeng must have gone to lure them away.

There were lights by the river, and she followed the light. When she saw the scene by the river, she stopped suddenly and hid sideways in the jungle.

A slender man wearing a black hood was kneeling on the ground with his hands tied behind his back. Two men with guns stood behind him, obviously they had captured someone.

It was too dark, and those people were in the shadows, so Shen Manzhi couldn't see the figure of the kneeling man clearly.

Is it Qin Yanfeng?
The cruelty in his eyes suddenly deepened.

The plan formed in her mind almost instantly, and she leaned towards the river while groping in her waist pocket for the dart.

Just as he was about to stand up, he was grabbed from behind, his waist was bent, his mouth was covered, and he rolled to the side half a circle and fell into a half-meter wide ditch.

At the same time, the sound of combat boots stepping on the ground passed by less than five meters away and walked towards the people by the river.

Shen Manzhi was surprised, and looked in disbelief at the person who was leaning over him. The coldness and bloodthirstiness in his eyes had not yet subsided.

Although she had roughly guessed it the moment the physical contact occurred, she only relaxed her strength after she actually confirmed it, and her ten fingers clasped on the man's arm slowly loosened, leaving dark red marks.

When Qin Yanfeng let her go, he made a gesture to her to keep quiet, but unexpectedly, Shen Manzhi pulled him close to him fiercely. Her beautiful eyes were dyed red, and she questioned him silently and fiercely, why didn't you wait for her when it was so dangerous?
He was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, tenderness appeared in his eyes. He lowered his head, held her cold hand, and kissed her on the lips as if to comfort her.

Only after the pedestrians had passed did the sound of talking come from the riverside.

Qin Yanfeng moved sideways to give her space to get up, and the two of them propped themselves up in the ravine and looked at the scene not far away.

It was Xitu who came, followed by Mr. Xun.

The kneeling man had his hood taken off, and the man with a gun behind him lifted up his messy hair and dragged him a few times so that people who came over could see his face.

Xitu turned sideways and said to Master Xun behind him, "I checked, it's Master San's people."

Master Xun pursed his lips, his brows full of anger, and walked forward and kicked the man to the ground, "He stabbed my car and wanted to kill my people. What on earth does he want to do!"

Xitu calmly observed the expression on Master Xun's face, not seeing any falsehood, and then looked at the man who was wailing on the ground, "Master Xun, why don't you hand him over to President Jin for disposal?"

The man glanced sideways, "Old Third has already bullied me. Are you trying to make a big deal out of it by handing him over to Boss Jin?"

"Master Xun," Xitu said calmly, "President Jin always treats everyone equally."

Lord Xun stared at him for a long time, snorted coldly, and looked at the person on the ground again, "Since you have already informed President Jin, there is no need to ask me. Whether Duan Qiuyu is dead or alive, there is no need for his third brother to intervene. I will remember this account tonight."

Xitu lowered his head and said, "I have arranged for people to investigate along the river, and we will also increase the security around the stilt houses."

Mr. Xun turned and walked away, but stopped after two steps, "Xi Tu."

Xitu looked up, but didn't see him turn around.

"I hate betrayers. Even though Duan Qiuyu and I have been through life and death together for three years, I still cannot erase his identity as an undercover agent. Similarly, I also hate unfaithful people."

The wind blows and leaves fall, and there is a moment of silence.

Xitu's eyes froze for a moment, and a ruthless look gradually appeared in his eyes. He turned his head and glanced at the person on the ground with contempt, "You just do things that are not worthy of being on the stage."

Shen Manzhi and Qin Yanfeng looked at each other. Xitu had arranged people to search the area nearby, so they couldn't stay any longer.

"and many more."

Shen Manzhi grabbed Qin Yanfeng, stared at Xitu, took out his cell phone and walked a few steps towards this side.

"Boss Jin... we found out that it was the third brother's men."

While Situ was talking on the phone, he unconsciously reached out and pinched the leaves of the bushes.

"Motive... I guess the third brother wants to kidnap Duan Qiuyu and put the blame on Master Xun, so that we will mistakenly think that Master Xun wants to protect Duan Qiuyu and even reach a cooperation with China, so that there will be a gap between you and Master Xun...

After these days of testing and observation, Master Xun does have some special feelings for Duan Qiuyu, but Master Xun has always been loyal to his subordinates. Maybe he couldn't accept the fact that Duan Qiuyu was an undercover agent, so he didn't find out that Brother Xun had any connection with the outside world."

Not knowing what was said on the other end of the phone, Xitu looked panicked for a moment, "I have always been with you, President Jin!"

After expressing his loyalty and pleasing the other party, Xitu's expression gradually improved, and he walked back as if he had been released. "Tomorrow's cooperation with Boss Wang of Yuncheng? Mr. Jin, why not let Mr. Xun come forward and..."

Situ walked towards the black pickup truck parked by the river. His voice gradually faded away, and the rest of his words were lost in the mottled night.

There was too much information in these words, but they did not have much time to think. A team of people stayed on the river bank and had already started searching the dense forest with flashlights.

Shen Manzhi had almost finished scouting the area during the day. He stood up, slightly turned his head and whispered to the person behind him, "Follow me."

Because they were too close and she was a head lower than Qin Yanfeng, her lips almost rolled over the man's Adam's apple.

Both of them were stunned.

The touch was too obvious. Shen Manzhi lowered his eyes and watched the bulge that pushed up the thin skin slowly slide.

This time it was not her turn to see the other person's ears turn red. Her own ears turned red first. She quickly turned her head away, turned over and left the ravine.

Qin Yanfeng's elbows were still resting on the wall of the ravine, his eyes fixed on someone who was fleeing in panic, his tongue tip pressed against the roof of his mouth, the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.

We can’t stay in this dense forest, but going back through the stilt houses is also very cumbersome and dangerous.

Fortunately, Shen Manzhi was already familiar with this area two years ago. He took Qin Yanfeng and fled here and there, avoiding patrols on the road and bypassing the checkpoints and searchlights of some buildings. It took about twenty minutes for them to escape from the dense forest on the river bank without any rest.

Shen Manzhi bent over and supported his knees against a pile of rocks. He lifted up his coarse coat and wiped the sweat off his chin. He turned back to look at the person following closely behind him, "Are you okay?"

Qin Yanfeng was a few steps behind her, but his condition wasn't much better either. He leaned against the pile of rocks with her and slowly calmed his rapid breathing.

She ran so fast, as if she was escaping, taking him away from where she was. He thought it was a sign of shyness.

"Yeah," he replied softly, pulling out a handkerchief from the inner pocket of his coat and handing it over.

Shen Manzhi was stunned for a moment when looking at the snow-white handkerchief in front of him, then he took it naturally and thanked her.

I wanted to ask him why he carried this with him, but when I saw that his face was a little too pale, I asked, "You..."

Qin Yanfeng raised his hand and casually wiped the sweat off his forehead, "I didn't expect you to be so strong." She wanted to ask him if he was feeling unwell, but couldn't help but retort, "Am I a delicate person?"

Qin Yanfeng unbuttoned the two buttons of his coat, and when he heard that, he tilted his head to look at her.

Sprinting is equivalent to a lot of exercise, which promotes blood circulation.

In the light of the moon, he could only see the rosy face and the bright eyes.

Like a kitten.

Not delicate, but will make nice coquettish noises when bullied.

Especially when he was underneath her.

Qin Yanfeng's Adam's apple rolled again, and his eyes were dark. Just looking at her made his heart soften, and he wanted something that could be rubbed into his body.

So he curved his lips, gentle and elegant, "Aren't you the one who always shouts that you can't stand it?"

"..."

Shen Manzhi was completely stunned.

When it comes to dirty talk, she is also quite adept at it.

When it comes to practice, she admits defeat.

She is not as shameless as this person.

After teasing the kitten, Qin Yanfeng restrained his laziness and asked her where she was in a slightly serious tone.

He took the initiative to change the subject, and Shen Manzhi gave him a way out, but his tone was a little colder than before, "Border Town."

Qin Yanfeng raised his eyebrows slightly. Seeing her walking forward, he quickly lowered his head to glance at his waist, pulled his coat over him, tightened his belt, and followed her. The moisture on his hands remained on the pile of stones behind him, leaving a hint of red.

"The main forces and labor force of the Golden Leopard Group, or the several factories in this mountain, are from the surrounding indigenous people. At first, young people worked there to earn some money to support their families. Later, things in the mountains became more and more shady. In order to keep it secret and to exclude outsiders, some residents were slowly forced to move to the area outside the mountain."

Qin Yanfeng followed her and walked side by side. It was indeed like they had climbed over a mountain. At the foot of the dark and dense mountain, there were more than a dozen earthen houses, scattered around and not interfering with each other.

"What about those in town?"

Shen Manzhi finally led him onto a decent path. "Those are people whose families have people working in the group. As long as they don't cause trouble, the people from Jinbao won't cause trouble. Sometimes, if they make a lot of money, they will even distribute some supplies."

Qin Yanfeng watched her approach a family's yard with ease... It wasn't really a yard, at most it was a simple fence surrounded by a fence, with only two sides. The yard was a little big and a little empty, and the door inside should have been locked from the inside. The vines entangled on the wall looked a little eerie.

There was a pool at the entrance to the yard. Shen Manzhi's eyes lit up and he finally took off the yellow hair hood that was in the way. He smoothed his long black hair, wrapped it up with one hand, turned on the faucet with the other hand, lowered his head and drank a sip of water from the air.

Then she splashed water on her face, washing away the mud that had been smeared on it. Her fair skin was immediately revealed, making her slender neck look even whiter.

Qin Yanfeng stood behind her, shifted his gaze away from the white, and turned around to observe the courtyard.

The yard was well-kept. There were several plots of land enclosed by stones next to the wall, where some vegetables were planted. Dry firewood was piled next to it, and some dark clothes were hung on a wooden rack on the other side. Vines were wrapped around the other end of the rack, and a rocking chair was placed underneath.

They seem to be a very simple and hardworking family.

Qin Yanfeng frowned slightly. The courtyard layout looked ordinary and common. It was normal to feel somewhat familiar with it, right?

After washing his face, Shen Manzhi stuffed the yellow hair hood into his belt, found a small wooden stick from the firewood pile near the wall, and wrapped his hair around it.

As he walked out, he patted Qin Yanfeng's hand and said, "Don't stay here. I'll take you to find something to eat."

In a vegetable patch outside the courtyard, Shen Manzhi was squatting and digging something. He walked over and half squatted, "What are you digging?"

"sweet potato."

Shen Manzhi held a wide piece of wood picked up from the firewood in her hand and dug the soil under the roots of a grass. The white surface was exposed first. She pulled the leaves to loosen the soil, dug some more, and dug out a sweet potato covered in mud.

Shen Manzhi dug up some of the soil on the surface, picked up the leaf stem and told him the scientific name of this plant, and then remembered something, "I used to grow this in the backyard of the old house. Last year, when I went back to the old house, Qin Shizheng said he would take me to find wild game. I believed him, and he ended up taking me to the backyard to show off his planting base."

At that time, Qin Shizheng said very confidently that she had definitely never eaten this.

How could she not have eaten before? In order to survive, she would eat anything when she was hungry.

Qin Yanfeng's gaze, which was originally looking at the fruits, unconsciously shifted to Shen Manzhi's face.

When she talked about these things, her tone was calm and natural, and you could vaguely see the comfort in her expression. She didn't have the usual coldness and sarcasm. It was like an everyday chat, which made people feel close to her.

"The time when you and Qin Shizheng tricked me into eating sour fruit?"

Shen Manzhi blinked, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes, "Do you still remember?"

Qin Yanfeng didn't care. He looked at the leaf stem in her hand and dug in the ground. "You didn't eat much at the family dinner that night. Porridge alone is too light. I wanted to ask you to come downstairs to eat something after I came back from the study."

Unexpectedly, she was pulled out by Qin Shizheng.

Shen Manzhi lowered her eyes and watched him searching seriously. Her chest felt slightly hot, as if her Third Grandfather had asked her to drink some wine at the dinner table that night, and somehow, she drank the porridge cooked by Qin Yanfeng.

He remembered it so clearly.

She took over the conversation smoothly, "Because I tricked you into eating sour fruit, you won't take me to eat it?"

"You refused," Qin Yanfeng whispered, "At that time, our relationship was not very good, and you always drew the boundaries very clearly."

Even though they had registered their marriage and were husband and wife at that time, Shen Manzhi would not have excessive contact with him, and would even deliberately avoid him.

Shen Manzhi pursed his lips, thinking that his memory was too good, but also feeling a little strange, "Qin Yanfeng, at that time..."

"Is this it?"

He held a leaf stem in his hand and interrupted her softly, "It looks very similar."

Shen Manzhi leaned over to take a closer look, their bodies touching, "This is a radish... this is it."

She reached out and rubbed it to the side, "This... huh?"

Qin Yanfeng stepped back slightly, intending to make room for her, but her leaning body lost its strength and fell towards him.

Because he was holding a muddy sweet potato in his hand, Shen Manzhi had to raise his hand to avoid rubbing it on his clothes, but he bumped into Qin Yanfeng's arms.

She thought he could hold on, but he just fell to the ground!
Thus, she could clearly see the bright smile in the man's eyes. Like a fox that had succeeded, he put his arms around her waist and said, "You threw yourself into my arms."

It seemed as if she had pushed the man to the ground and was about to do something wrong. It was so unfair.

"Don't be too..." He was pushing his luck.

The last four words were drowned out between their lips.

Shen Manzhi was so overwhelmed by his desire that he couldn't breathe. His heart was beating very fast and he felt really unhappy. He thought to himself that he must win back the game next time.
