Listening to Qin Xiusheng's sincere words, Xiao Qi was silent for a while. In her heart, she really wanted to promise Qin Xiusheng that after solving the plague epidemic in the town, she would leave here with him and never come back. But she knew in her heart that she couldn't do that. The townspeople were full of hostility towards Qin Xiusheng and would not listen to his explanation at all.

Holding back the tears that kept rolling in his eyes, Xiao Qi shook his head vigorously, "No, the townspeople can't trust you, I can't watch you die." ”

Qin Xiusheng didn't want to die, he hadn't saved Lin Xiran from Su Jin's clutches, how could he give his life here for nothing? However, he could no longer watch Xiao Qi being bound in this nightmarish town. Thinking that he and Luo Ziran were trapped in the town at the beginning, Xiao Qi tried his best to rescue them, and sent them out of the town safely, Qin Xiusheng couldn't be relieved.

"Xiaoqi, I still hope to tell the townspeople the truth of the matter. Qin Xiusheng's face became serious, he walked up to Xiao Qi and gently put his hand on her shoulder, "You once said that not only you, but the townspeople of the entire town are alive without a soul. Is it fair to you and to them to live like this walking dead?"

Facing Qin Xiusheng's words, Xiao Qi was silent for a while. When she asked Qin Xiusheng to treat herself, she did say such things. Although there was a chance for him and the townspeople to free himself from the nightmarish town now, she couldn't let Qin Xiusheng take the risk.

"It's not fair!" Xiao Qi's eyes looked at Qin Xiusheng, not evading it at all, "But I know one thing, do you think it's fair to put you in danger for us?"

This time, it was Qin Xiusheng's turn to be speechless. He wanted to use the townspeople to persuade Xiao Qi, but he didn't expect Xiao Qi to mention himself in the end.

"Don't say it again!" Xiao Qi bit her lip hard, she made a decision in her heart, she decided not to let Qin Xiusheng take risks for her, "Xiusheng, I won't agree to this matter anyway, don't persuade me anymore." ”

Seeing Xiao Qi's resolute face, Qin Xiusheng knew in his heart that she had already made up her mind, and no matter how she persuaded her, she would not change.

The two fists were clenched tightly together, and in Qin Xiusheng's heart, he also had feelings other than friendship for Xiao Qi. However, he already had Lin Xiran, so he hid this feeling in his heart and did not show it. For the sake of the deepest emotion hidden in his heart, Qin Xiusheng made a decision that he must let Xiaoqi be freed from the town, which can be regarded as a response to her deep affection for herself.

"Xiaoqi, I know you don't want me to be in danger. Having made a decision, Qin Xiusheng's expression became relaxed. He looked at Xiao Qi, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "I won't persuade you anymore, but I won't change my mind." I've already decided, I'm going to talk to the mayor and tell him the truth of the matter. ”

Hearing Qin Xiusheng's words, Xiao Qi's face suddenly turned pale. She stretched out her hand and grabbed the corner of Qin Xiusheng's clothes hard, "No! If you appear in front of him, he will not hesitate to order you to be burned at the stake. ”

"It's okay, I'm sure he won't turn a blind eye to my words for the sake of the townspeople. Qin Xiusheng smiled and shook his head, he had already made up his mind that no matter what Xiao Qi said, he would not make changes, "Moreover, I will also detail you." If I'm going to be burned at the stake, you'll be able to figure out how to convince the mayor. ”

Shaking his head vigorously, Xiao Qi's tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes, "Can you consider me? What if my persuasion fails? Do you want me to watch them burn you?"

Seeing that Qin Xiusheng didn't speak, Xiao Qi forgot to lower his voice under the excitement, "Do you know, if you die because of me, I'd rather die with you." But I can't, and if I die, what will happen to the townspeople in this town? Do you want me to live with self-blame and guilt for the rest of my life?"

Qin Xiusheng didn't know how to answer. Xiao Qi's words were like a dagger, piercing him deeply. If he didn't help Xiaoqi, Qin Xiusheng would definitely blame himself for the rest of his life. But if he fails, this self-blame and remorse will be imposed on Xiaoqi.

At this moment, there was a sudden loud knock on the door, "My lord, is something wrong?"

Hearing the knock on the door, Qin Xiusheng and Xiao Qi were startled at the same time. Just now, Xiaoqi was so excited that he forgot to control the volume, which alarmed the others.

"It's okay, I'm just talking to myself. Xiao Qi barely calmed himself down and replied in a deep voice.

Xiao Qi's explanation obviously couldn't satisfy the people outside the door, and the knocking on the door didn't stop, "My lord, please open the door and let us confirm that you are not in danger." If something happens to you, there's no way we can tell the town. ”

Xiao Qi's face was pale, her room was very simple, and there was no place to hide people. As long as she opened the door, a big living person like Qin Xiusheng would definitely not be able to hide.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Qi hurriedly suppressed the panic in his heart, and replied in a deep voice towards the door, "I said it's okay, don't disturb my research, leave quickly." ”

Xiao Qi's attitude made the people outside the door even more suspicious. He didn't flinch because of Xiao Qi's words, but said in a deep voice, "My lord, please open the door immediately." Otherwise, we'll have to slam the door open for your safety. ”

Xiao Qi looked at Qin Xiusheng with an anxious face, and he didn't know what to do for a while. The gate has been blocked, and it is impossible to get out. And the sky was already bright, if Qin Xiusheng escaped from the window, he would definitely be discovered by the townspeople immediately.

Qin Xiusheng walked up to Xiao Qi and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I originally planned to tell the townspeople the truth of the matter. Now that I've been forced to do this, there's no other way. ”

Xiao Qi stretched out his hand and grabbed Qin Xiusheng's arm. She choked and shook her head vigorously, unwilling to let Qin Xiusheng face the townspeople.

"My lord, I am offended. Seeing that Xiaoqi refused to open the door for a long time, the person outside the door shouted and began to bang on the door hard.

Qin Xiusheng opened his arms and hugged Xiao Qi hard, with a resolute look in his eyes.

"Xiaoqi, believe in yourself and believe in me. After speaking, Qin Xiusheng gently took Xiao Qi's hand and moved it away, and slowly walked towards the door.

"Stop, brother outside, I'll open the door. With that, Qin Xiusheng stretched out his hand and opened the door.
