Chapter 627 Is it tolerable or intolerable?

A sharp pain shot straight to the top of her head, and the burning sensation instantly brought Zhu Yu back to her senses. Accompanied by a sweet and metallic taste spreading in her throat, she suddenly opened her eyes and found herself lying in a wasteland, surrounded by bushes.

Struggling to sit up, I looked around. The sky was just beginning to brighten, and there was a slight chill in the air.

Fortunately, it hadn't rained before, so the grass was relatively dry. Apart from being a little damp, she was perfectly fine.

She got up from the ground, brushed off the dirt and grass leaves that were stuck to her, and quickly checked herself. She was perfectly fine, without any injuries or problems, and her clothes were intact.

After confirming all of this, Zhu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good to realize that everything you're experiencing in a nightmare is a dream and not real, but the most important thing is to struggle out of the nightmare.

She has finally done it.

Despite the cold, the faint red glow on the horizon and the damp scent of earth and grass in her breath gave her an indescribable sense of security.

After roughly confirming the direction, she began to grope around, searching for traces of other people.

Before long, she saw the runes below the slope not far away.

Fu Wen was still unconscious and lay on the ground. If it weren't for the steady and regular rise and fall of his back, Zhu Yu would probably have become nervous again.

Zhu Yu walked over, intending to push the other person awake, but then stopped himself.

She herself had just struggled out of the illusion caused by the drug, and was still quite clear-headed. At this moment, under the influence of the drug, Rune's mind was trying its best to recall all its memories to deceive its master. Rune was probably unaware that it had been bewitched, and didn't know what kind of "situation" it was in.

If I rashly push him now, and he mistakes me for some ferocious demon from the illusion, and strangles me to death, that would be a terrible mistake.

So she went to the side and found a long wooden stick, and used it to poke at the runes from a great distance.

After the first few pokes, the rune didn't react. Zhu Yu increased the force and poke it a few more times. Suddenly, the rune's body started to twitch and tremble slightly.

Then, he seemed to suddenly wake up, and with a swift movement, he flipped himself up, which startled Zhu Yu, who was already mentally prepared.

The rune-covered carp leaped up and did somersaults, flying quite a distance in an instant. Judging from his dazed expression, it seemed like an instinctive reaction, but in reality, his mind wasn't fully clear yet.

After a while, his eyes gradually focused, and he saw clearly that the person squatting not far away was his mistress, Zhu Yu.

Fu Wen was stunned. He quickly looked around, his expression turning astonished and somewhat grim: "Second...Second Master...we...we've fallen into their trap again?!"

Zhu Yu nodded: "I was the first to wake up, and then I started looking for you. You were the first one I found."

"Let's put everything else aside for now and find those two first." "Should we split up or...?"

"Don't split up, just search together." Zhu Yu shook his head before Fu Wen could finish speaking. "I want to see where each of us was left behind."

Although Fu Wen was somewhat puzzled by Zhu Yu's idea, his years of obedience to Lu Qing led him to unconditionally accept the arrangements made by this always intelligent lady.

So the two of them continued searching down the hillside. After walking for a while, they discovered that this time they had been thrown in a completely different direction, seemingly on a small hill behind the wooden building.

In other words, they were thrown a little further than last time.

After searching downhill for a while, they found Lu Qing, who had just woken up.

Lu Qing had regained consciousness and was cautiously checking herself and her surroundings. Upon hearing the sound, she immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw Fu Wen and Zhu Yu, which relieved her.

"How are you? Are you hurt?" Lu Qing rushed forward in a few steps, asking as she spoke. Before Zhu Yu could answer, she reached out and pulled her in front of her, turning her around in a circle.

"I'm fine, so you must be fine too." After inquiring about the rune's condition, Zhu Yu seemed much calmer now.

Lu Qing nodded and asked Fu Wen, "Where are the talismans?"

“We haven’t found it yet.” Fu Wen shook his head. “To my shame, it was Second Master who woke up first, and then he woke me up. We’ve been searching all the way here and just found you, but we still haven’t found the talisman.”

Zhu Yu thought for a moment, then pointed down the slope: "Let's look further down, maybe we'll find it."

Lu Qing glanced at her, nodded, and gestured for Fu Wen to go first, while he silently followed behind Zhu Yu, keeping an eye on their surroundings as they walked down the hillside.

The three of them walked quite a distance, and finally spotted a familiar piece of fabric in the bushes – the clothes Fu Lu was wearing.

Without needing Lu Qing's further instructions, Fu Wen immediately stepped forward. Seeing that Fu Lu was also soundly asleep in the bushes, he was completely relieved. Without any restraint, he swung his hand and slapped his younger brother.

Fu Lu was still unconscious, but after being slapped a few times from both sides, he immediately woke up. When he realized where he had been sleeping, he became angry and punched the tree next to him with all his might, cracking the not-so-thick trunk.

"These scoundrels are utterly despicable! They keep using this low-class trick, over and over again!" he cursed angrily, then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lu Qing and said, "Master, the talismans are useless; even taking the antidote pill beforehand didn't stop them from falling for it..."

"It's not that you're incompetent, it's that none of the four of us are exceptions." Lu Qing shook his head at him, glancing past him down the mountain. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, they're all fine!" Upon hearing that all four of them had been infected, Fu Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She then quickly checked on Zhu Yu and, seeing that she was also perfectly fine, she was finally completely at ease.

Previously, Lu Qing had asked him to protect his wife's safety when he went out, and Fu Lu kept this in mind and dared not relax for a moment.

"Master, this is intolerable! Why don't you let my brother and I set a fire outside to lure those thieves out, and then capture them?" Fu Lu became increasingly angry as he thought about it, and pleaded with Lu Qing.
