92 Chapter
Ji Shuisheng was afraid that his voice was unpleasant, so his deep voice had a deliberate tone.
Su Qing pointed at Ji Shuisheng’s arm,
“I’ll bandage it for you. It’s easy to get an infection in the hot weather.”
“There’s no need, right?”
Ji Shuisheng hesitated for a moment. The bleeding had stopped, and there was no need to bandage it, but he thought they would have a chance to get close if she dressed his wound. His voice was a little hesitant when he said there was no need.
“Wait for me; I’ll go find some herbs.”
Su Qing ordered him without a second thought. Then, she carried her basket and went to look for herbs. There were many herbs near the underground river.
Su Qing found a lot of herbs to treat red wounds. She wanted to throw them into the system for Xiao Qi to make medicine, but she remembered that Xiao Qi had fallen asleep from exhaustion and couldn’t bear to wake her up.
Anyway, this was the most anti-inflammatory and hemostatic medicine. As for the medicine, she would wait until Xiao Qi recovered.
Ji Shuisheng feared that Su Qing would be in danger, so he stayed by her side and helped her pick the herbs she saw. Neither of them said a word, and in a short while, they had already picked a basket full of herbs.
“I’ll wrap it for you.”
Su Qing crushed the roots of wild san qi and pulled Ji Shuisheng’s wrist. Wild san qi could no longer be seen in the modern world. This medicine was very effective in stopping bleeding and external injuries.
Su Qing lowered her head and carefully applied the medicine for Ji Shuisheng. Ji Shuisheng lowered his head and looked at her. There was only half a foot between them.
Ji Shuisheng’s breath sprayed on Su Qing’s hair. Su Qing felt her cheeks heat up, and his strong masculine breath entered her nose. This made her recall the scene of her feeding him medicine. She suddenly released her hand and said impatiently,
“You can make your own.”
Ji Shuisheng quickly put away his wild thoughts and obediently bandaged his wound. Without any cloth, he tore off his clothes to wrap them. He could use chopsticks on both his hands. Although his right wrist was injured, it didn’t affect the speed of his bandaging. It was just a little strenuous to bandage and tie it, so he had to use his teeth and hands to cooperate. Su Qing didn’t care when she saw this and stood at the side with a cold face.
Ji Shuisheng could feel that Su Qing was angry, but he didn’t know why she was angry. Was she mad that he had implicated her because the snake had bitten him? Or was she mad that she was helping him bandage his wound?
He licked his lips and asked carefully,
“Shall we go?”
Su Qing turned around and left without saying a word. She was carrying a basket of herbs on her back. The herbs looked like an immense pile but were not very heavy. Hence, she walked very quickly.
Ji Shuisheng was chasing after her with a basket that weighed more than a hundred pounds. Fortunately, Ji Shuisheng was strong and did not seem to be struggling. He walked very steadily and was always one step behind Su Qing. If she was in danger, he could reach out and save her.
The two of them returned to where the wild boar was killed. They saw that the small wild boar had not left yet. It was guarding the big wild boar and wailing. It was crying. Its cry attracted a group of wolves. The small wild boar did not realize the danger and was still wailing.
“Let me use your saber.”
Su Qing looked at the small wild boar and remembered her childhood. She was alone and helpless; to survive, she could only kill.
“I’ll do it.”
Ji Shuisheng put down the basket on his back. They seemed to be telepathically connected. Even though Su Qing did not say what she wanted to do, Ji Shuisheng knew that Su Qing wanted to help that small wild boar.
She was not as cold as she appeared to be! She was also kind in her heart.
Su Qing looked at his arm and frowned. Since Ji Shuisheng didn’t give her a knife, she would pick up the sharp stone on the ground and use it as a weapon.
The stones were all the size of a fist. Su Qing stared into the Alpha’s eyes and threw the stones at it as it jumped.
Ji Shuisheng also wanted to kill the Alpha Wolf. When the Alpha wolf leaped up, he raised his sword and pounced on it. The stone hit the Alpha wolf’s head, and it was blinded. Ji Shuisheng’s treasured sword pierced its neck in time. The insufferably arrogant Alpha Wolf died just like that with hatred.
The other four wolves pounced on him when they saw their Alpha wolf had been killed. Ji Shuisheng leaped and stabbed the wolf pack with his treasured saber. Su Qing’s stone smashing was accurate and ruthless. The two of them cooperated well. When Zhong Yong arrived and saw his big brother fighting with the wolf pack, he pounced on him and joined the battle without thinking.
The three generals fought the four wolves as if they were playing, and the Wolf pack was soon wiped out.
“Haha, there’s so much meat!”
Zhong Yong laughed as happily as a child. In his eyes, there was no such thing as meat. As long as it could be eaten, he would not mind, even if it was a mouse.
The wolf meat was thick and had a fishy smell. It consumed a lot of oil and was also unpalatable. Without wild boars, these wolves would be kept for eating. However, two wild boars weighing 500 to 600 catties were insufficient. The weather was hot and easily spoiled things, and there was no city nearby that sold pork, so the wolf meat was useless.
However, Wolf’s skin could be sold for money. It could be used to make shoes even if it wasn’t sold. Ji Shuisheng peeled the skin on the spot. Su Qing watched from the side. Ji Shuisheng raised his head to look at her many times. Usually, women would have been scared away by this bloody scene, but she was watching with relish?
Zhong Yong’s heart ached as he looked at the five wolves. These wolves were entrenched near the underground river and had eaten until they were fat and strong. Each of them weighed several dozen catties.
“Alright, let’s go back first! Zhong Yong, carry the pig on your back.”
After Ji Shuisheng finished peeling off the wolf’s skin, he held the wolf’s tail. The wolf’s skin was still dripping with blood, and it could no longer bare its fangs and brandish its claws.
Ji Shuisheng asked Zhong Yong to carry the wild boar. He was as strong as an ox, and it was not difficult for him to carry the wild boar.
“Alright,” he said.
Zhong Yong’s heart ached as he looked at the five wolves that had been skinned. Meat, Oh meat, throwing them away would be such a waste.
Ji Shuisheng could see that Zhong Yong’s heart ached for him and patted his shoulder.
“Let’s go; it’ll stink if we can’t finish it in the hot weather.”
Su Qing walked behind them. She looked at the bloody wolf corpses on the ground and gave up on throwing them into the system.
Xiao Qi is timid, don’t scare it; let Xiao Qi rest well!
If Xiao Qi knew its master cared so much for it, it would dance around the system excitedly. But now, it was sleeping soundly and even snoring!
Su Qing’s cold eyes were warm when she saw the little fellow sleeping.
The three of them returned to the campsite. The villagers of Peach Blossom Cove saw that the water was boiling. Only with Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing helping them escape did their life become so relaxed.
They had used up half of the slaughtered pigs and stewed meat that they had brought back. The villagers had also used up the remaining half of the water by boiling a large pot of hot water.
Ji Shuisheng asked the young men in the village to bring along all the things that could be used to store water. If they went to the underground river to keep water with him, they had to bring enough to drink on the way. Otherwise, who knew when they would find the next water source?
Su Qing stayed behind to cook. She didn’t have to shave the wild boar, and Zhong Yong volunteered.
Su Qing first boiled a pot of water for Zhong Yong to soften its hair. After he sharpened the knife, Zhong Yong squatted on the ground and shaved the pig’s hair.
Next, Su Qing found all kinds of seasonings to prepare for the meat stew. She finally had the ingredients and wanted to make a few dishes. It would be best to improve her cooking skills by two levels.
...
Zhong Yong quickly cleaned up the wild boar, and its intestines were cut open. Fortunately, this pig was quite fat. Su Qing first removed the lard and filled the basin. This was good stuff.
Su Qing asked around for a jar. After the oil was refined, it wouldn’t go bad even if you put some salt in it and ate it for a whole summer. No matter how good one’s cooking skills were, it wouldn’t go well without oil.
