“Since the Musk was found by Su Qing, it should belong to her. No one should think about it.”

Old Master Qiu’s imposing gaze swept across all the villagers of Peach Blossom Cove. Old Master Qiu was a man of his word, and he was backing up Su Qing.

There were more than a hundred people in Peach Blossom Cove. The more people there were, the more thoughts there would be. When they saw a huge profit, it was hard to guarantee that some people would not be jealous and want to snatch it. He had to warn these people.

Qiu Yue saw that her grandfather was also on Su Qing’s side and bit her lower lip in anger. Why was her grandfather on that woman’s side?

“Yes, the musk deer was hunted by Su Qing. Of course, the Musk is hers.”

“We support it.”

Li Daniu and Jiang Laoqi both spoke up for Su Qing. If a person worshipped someone from the bottom of his heart, there was no cure. In these two’s hearts, Su Qing’s status was almost as high as Ji Shui Sheng ‘s.

“I’ll support my sister. ”

Ji Xiao Ying was not as tall as the men. In order to let Grandpa Qiu see her, she jumped up and waved her hands.

“I also support it.”

Like her brother, Li Shuang ‘er admired Su Qing a lot. She joined the team without hesitation.

With so many people shouting in support, those who had other thoughts in their hearts also gave up.

After Old Master Qiu finished scolding, he called Ji Shui Sheng over.

“Shui Sheng, come over for a moment.”

“Alright,” Ji Shui Sheng agreed and walked over, leaving the giant python and the musk deer to Aunt Qiu and Aunt Li to handle.

“Shui Sheng, Yongkang went to Guocheng to buy medicine and found that Guocheng was tightly guarded by the Army. No one was allowed to come out of the city, and no one was allowed to go in. I heard that the Imperial envoy from the capital was assassinated and the soldiers are apprehending people without care. We have to quickly leave this place of trouble,” Old Master Qiu said to Ji Shui Sheng with a solemn expression.

In order to protect their positions, the officials would kill with bloodlust at this time. Who knew who they would use as a scapegoat?!

“Alright, we’ll leave immediately.”

After Ji Shui Sheng heard this, he immediately stood up and ordered Li Daniu and the rest, “Quick, tell everyone to hurry up and leave Guo City before dark.”

While everyone was cleaning up, Ji Shui Sheng saw that the giant python was too eye-catching and he was afraid of attracting trouble, so he peeled off the giant Python’s skin and cut it into pieces. The musk deer was carried onto a cart and covered with a grass curtain, then pulled by a carriage.

Qiu Yue’s body was weak from diarrhea and she had no strength to walk at all. Old Master Qiu gave his seat to his granddaughter and let her sit on the ox cart.

However, Qiu Yue looked at Ji Shui Sheng’s cart.

She wanted to sit in Ji Shui Sheng’s cart. The last time Su Qing was sick, she had to lie in his cart for two days. Why couldn’t she sit in his cart when it was her turn?

However, she couldn’t sit in it even if she wanted to. There were pythons and musk deer in the car. She was afraid of snakes, let alone the ferocious guy.

This made her very unwilling.

However, it was useless to be unwilling. She didn’t have the courage to sit in the same car as the python. Even though the python had been cut into pieces, the thought of it still made her scalp numb.

Ji Xiao Ying had been taking care of Qiu Yue for a long time. When they were on their way, she ran back to Su Qing’s side and walked with her. Her little mouth kept on asking Su Qing how she caught the musk deer.

Su Qing simply said that she found a dead deer and was lucky enough to pick it up.

Ji Xiao Ying’s eyes lit up, “Big sister’s luck is really good.”

Ji Xiao Ying was curious and wanted to know what Musk looked like.

She said to Su Qing, “Sister, can you show me what Musk looks like? I’ve never seen what it looks like!”

Su Qing looked into Ji Xiao Ying’s eyes. There was only curiosity in her big, clear eyes. There was not a trace of greed. The little girl’s tone was coquettish, and those who heard her could not bear to reject her.

Su Qing nodded and took out the Musk from the basket on her arm. Se had actually taken it out from the system. Little seven blinked her big round eyes and watched her master take the Musk out reluctantly.

Wow, master! Please don’t give it away!

Ji Xiao Ying pinched her nose in disgust when she saw the Musk Su Qing took out. It was long-haired and stinky.

“Wow, that ugly? How is it fragrant?”

Su Qing smiled, “It still needs to be made. It can only be used as a spice after it’s made.”

Ji Xiao Ying looked at Su Qing with admiration, “Big sister, you know so much.”

Su Qing didn’t say anything. She raised her head and looked at the front of the team. She noticed that Ji Shui Sheng’s expression was very serious and he urged the team to move faster from time to time.

Just as they were about to leave the forest, Qiu Yue suddenly shouted, “Aiya, stop the car, stop the car! My stomach hurts! Stop the car!”

The team had no choice but to stop again.

Ji Shui Sheng’s brows were so tight that they could pinch a fly to death. The more anxious they were, the more trouble Qiu Yue would cause. It seemed that the effects of the herbs he had picked were average, and Su Qing’s herbs were more effective.

He once again turned his gaze to Su Qing. He could not afford to waste any more time at this critical moment.

However, he knew Su Qing’s personality. If she was unwilling to do something, it was useless to force her with a knife.

Qiu Yongkang watched as his sister fell from the donkey cart, the back of her dress stained with dirt. She crawled into the woods on her knees.

His younger sister had always loved to look pretty and save face. She had never been in such a sorry state before. Seeing her head lowered and her hair covering her face, she must be extremely ashamed. However, losing face was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that she would die if she continued like this.

Qiu Yongkang looked at Su Qing. She was the only one who could save his sister.

Qiu Yongkang walked up to Su Qing and clasped his hands together, “Su Qing, my younger sister’s insensibility has offended you. I originally did not have the face to come and beg you, but now that the matter is urgent, we can’t afford to delay any longer. I hope that you can be magnanimous and give me a pill to cure my younger sister’s illness. I will definitely repay your great kindness with a fountain.”

Su Qing looked up coldly.

Qiu Yongkang thought that she would reject him, but then Su Qing said, “Saving your sister’s life means you owe me your life. If I ask you to pay me back with your life, are you willing to do so?”

Ji Shui Sheng looked at Su Qing, his eyes filled with shock. She wanted Yongkang’s life?

“I’m willing. As long as young lady can relieve little sister of her pain, you can take this Qiu’s life at any time,” Qiu Yongkang agreed without any hesitation.

The siblings were connected by heart. Seeing his younger sister suffering from an illness while the older brother was unable to help her, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. If Su Qing could promise to save his younger sister, so what if she wanted to take Qiu Yongkang’s life?

Aunt Qiu looked at Su Qing in disbelief. She was too cruel and heartless. She wanted Qiu Yongkang’s life after saving Qiu Yue?

Hers daughter and son were the apples of her eye. Aunt Qiu walked over to Su Qing with tears in her eyes and begged, “Su Qing, you want my life. The Qiu family only has one heir, and Yongkang has to be passed on. Please have mercy.”

Su Qing looked at Aunt Qiu affectionately, then looked at Old Master Qiu, waiting for him to scold her for being heartless. However, Old Master Qiu didn’t scold her, but only looked sad.

Su Qing looked back at Qiu Yongkang and her cold voice was emotionless, only ordering, “Qiu Yongkang, you owe me a favor.”

Aunt Qiu was overjoyed. She knew that Su Qing would not be so heartless.

“Su Qing, I thank you.”

Su Qing’s face was expressionless as she looked at Qiu Yongkang, waiting for his answer.
