“No need,” Ji Shui Sheng refused coldly and did not look at Qiu Yue’s disappointed eyes.

He took out a mixed grain bun from his dry food package and put it in his arms, ready to leave.

“Brother Shui Sheng, change into dry clothes. Be careful not to catch a cold,” Qiu Yue hurriedly called out to Ji Shui Sheng, but he left without looking back.

Qiu Yue watched him until he disappeared from her sight. Seeing that Ji Xiao Ying was taking care of Su Qing, she came over to help as well. She sighed when she saw Su Qing’s swollen face.

“She’s so pitiful. ”

Ji Xiao Ying had just helped Su Qing up and was about to feed her some water when she heard Qiu Yue’s words.

She angrily scolded her, “Yeah, I wonder which bastard beat my sister up like this?!”

“Why is she still unconscious? Can she be saved?” Qiu Yue asked Ji Xiao Ying worriedly when she saw that Su Qing’s breathing was weak and her eyes were shut tight.

“Of course! My brother said he would save her, so he will definitely be able to save her.”

Ji Xiaoying was full of admiration for her brother, and she believed in his words without a doubt.

“I’ll go cook. Try feeding her some porridge later. ”

Qiu Yue smiled gently and looked at Su Qing with sympathy. She hoped that she could be saved! She was a pitiful woman.

Seeing that they had buried the pots and started cooking, the escapees who had followed behind them were cold and hungry after being drenched in the rain for an entire night. Whether it was the fire or the food, they were all extremely tempted.

Therefore, some bold women and elderly people came over with their children and begged pitifully, “Give us something to eat. The child is starving.”

The child’s face was pale from the cold, the old man was trembling, and the woman was crying. They looked really pitiful.

The women of Peach Blossom Cove were a little sympathetic, but Qiu Yongkang immediately chased them away.

However, these women refused to leave. The other victims were watching. As long as they could get food, they would all come.

“Fight!”

Qiu Yongkang gave the order, but it was useless. The men of Peach Blossom Cove didn’t hit women, not to mention that there were also the elderly and children. They all looked at Qiu Yongkang with embarrassment.

Qiu Yongkang looked at seventh brother Jiang. “What did Shui Sheng say when he left?”

Jiang Lao Qi stomped his foot, closed his eyes, raised his hoe, and shouted as he rushed towards the women. Seeing that he was really hitting them, the women, who were still refusing to leave just now, screamed and ran back.

When the disaster victims saw how fierce they were, they didn’t dare to come closer. They could only look at them enviously from afar.

Ji Xiao Ying helped Su Qing take off her straw rain cape. She noticed that her clothes were too tattered and torn with just a light touch. Yesterday, she had torn off both her sleeves to save her, and her clothes were in a terrible state.

She wanted to help her sister change into clean clothes, but she couldn’t do it alone, so she called sister Qiu Yue over to help.

“Don’t look over here! I’m changing my clothes!”

“Su Qing!”

Ji Xiao Ying shouted at the men present and set up the straw rain cape to act as a screen. Then, she helped Su Qing change her clothes with Qiu Yue.

“Help her wipe it!” Qiu Yue suggested to Ji Xiaoying.

Su Qing was too dirty and had a bad smell. It was time to change into clean clothes, and it was better to wipe her.

“Alright,” she said.

Ji Xiao Ying also felt that it would be better to clean Su Qing, so she covered Su Qing with a coat and waited for Qiu Yue to bring warm water to help her sister clean up.

A piece of paper fell out of her sleeve when the clothes fell. Qiu Yue quickly caught it, or it would be over if it fell into the mud.

“A divorce letter?”

After seeing the words on the paper, Qiu Yue looked up at Su Qing and mumbled, “Let me see.”

Ji Xiao Ying took the divorce letter from Qiu Yue’s hands. When she saw the words written on it, her face turned red with anger. She looked at Su Qing, who was covered in wounds, and said, “It must be that dog-man who beat my sister up! He’s worse than an animal!”

“That’s right. He’s worse than an animal. There’s no good spot on his body.”

Qiu Yue also looked at Su Qing with sympathy. What a pitiful woman. Even though she was not divorced, it was no different from being divorced. She was a woman abandoned by her husband’s family and was inferior to others no matter where she went.

It was fine if her maternal family was good and she could have a place to stay. If her maternal family was not good, would there be a place for a weak woman in this big world?

Qiu Yue boiled some hot water and came over to help Ji Xiao Ying clean Su Qing’s body. Ji Xiao Ying’s eyes welled up with tears as she looked at the ghastly scars on Su Qing’s body.

“Sister has suffered a great deal.”

“Yup!” Qiu Yue nodded.

“Let’s help her put on her clothes!”

Su Qing was too thin, like a skeleton wrapped in a layer of skin. Ji Xiao Ying’s clothes were loose on her, but after freshening up, she did not look too pathetic.

I don’t know if big brother can pick the medicine and bring it back! Sister seems to be in serious condition!”

Ji Xiaoying helped Su Qing comb his hair, then looked up at the mountain, hoping that her brother would quickly bring the herbs back.

Su Qing’s body was boiling hot, and he felt as if he had been thrown into a frying pan. Ji Xiaoying only felt better when she wiped him down, but the heat swallowed her up again.

“Water!” she shouted.

Only water could put out the flames that were about to burn her to death.

“Drink some water!”

When she heard that Su Qing wanted water, Ji Xiao Ying happily helped her up. She let Su Qing lean on her and carefully put the water bag to her mouth, feeding her bit by bit.

“Master! Master!”

Little seven sobbed as she called out to Su Qing. Her master’s health was worse than it was yesterday. This was another cold wind. If she couldn’t find the medicine soon, she would be like a lamp without oil.

Su Qing heard little Seven’s voice and tried hard to open her eyes. However, her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn’t open them, no matter what. Her head buzzed like a boiling pot. She had only been reborn for a few days. Was she going to die so soon?

“No, I can’t die like this.”

Su Qing used all her strength to open her eyes and took the water bag to drink.

“Eat some porridge. You’ll only have strength if you eat.”

A gentle voice rang in Su Qing’s ears, but it was not as soothing as Ji Xiaoying’s voice. She looked up and saw a delicate-looking girl looking at her with concern. She was holding a rough porcelain bowl in her hands, and the smell of porridge wafted out.

Su Qing had not eaten for three days. Previously, it was Liu Bao Cang and his mother who abused her and did not give her any food. After she was reborn, she was in a hurry to go to Peach Mountain to pick herbs, so she did not eat anything. Now, when she smelled the fragrance of porridge, her stomach started spasming.

She stared at the bowl of porridge. When they were young, those inhumane people would often starve them for a few days in order to train their willpower. Su Qing was not afraid of death in this life, but what she was most afraid of was hunger.

Qiu Yue scooped a spoonful of porridge and said to Su Qing gently,”I’ll feed you!”

“Give it to me,” Su Qing ordered in a hoarse voice.

The powerful God of War was not weak enough to be fed. Besides, she was not used to anyone else being near her except Ji Xiao Ying.

The woman in front of her looked gentle and virtuous, but her eyes were not as clean as Ji Xiaoying ‘s, and there was desire in them.

Qiu Yue was stunned. This woman had such a strong aura. Her commanding tone made her feel uncomfortable.

Ji Xiao Ying saw her big brother’s tall figure walking out from the mountain and called out excitedly, “Big Brother is back.”
