112 Chapter 112. The Thing You Need
Ji Shuisheng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Su Qing had already killed the two bandits.
Su Qing looked at Ji Shuisheng and said,
“A fish in the net.”
“It’s a good thing you found them.”
Ji Shuisheng said gratefully to Su Qing. He went over and picked up the arms of the two corpses and dragged them away like dead dogs.
Su Qing looked at him and handed him a bamboo tube.
“What is this?”
Ji Shuisheng’s heart skipped a beat as he took the bamboo tube and asked Su Qing.
“You can use the things you need after we’re gone,”
“I’m not a fool, ” Su Qing said indifferently. Intelligent people did not need to be too clear. Ji Shuisheng understood what she meant. His deep eyes were like fireworks as he looked at her with a bright and dazzling gaze.
After killing all the bandits, they could find food to cook.
However, as they had to deal with the corpse and the smell of that thing was too strong, Ji Shuisheng didn’t want the villagers to see that terrifying scene. Therefore, he asked Qiu Yongkang to lead the villagers to a water source to set up camp and cook.
He brought Zhong Yong along to deal with the aftermath. When Zhong Yong saw the corpse dissolving powder dissolving the bandits’ corpses into a pool of stinky water, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He cried out excitedly,
“This is good, this is good. Big brother, is this called destroying the evidence?”
Ji Shuisheng didn’t say anything and only nodded his head. He watched as the corpses melted into water and then filled the pit with Zhong Yong, restoring it to its original state.
Qiu Yongkang followed Ji Shuisheng’s words and led the team away. The villagers of Peach Blossom Cove panicked when they couldn’t see Ji Shuisheng, and the families of the dead were even more sorrowful. Everyone walked silently, occasionally looking back to see if Ji Shuisheng and Zhong Yong had caught up.
Su Qing was driving the carriage in front. She was also looking for a place with water. The team’s water had all been drunk, and everyone was hungry and thirsty.
“Master, the eyesight recovery pill is done. Her eye injury is severe, and she must eat it for seven days to recover!”
Xiao Qi’s voice rang in Su Qing’s ears. A bag of pills was placed in her hands. Su Qing asked for two bamboo tubes of water from Xiao Qi.
She had stored a lot of water in her system in case she needed it, and it came in handy now.
“Xiaoying, give this pill to Juan Zi every day for seven days.”
Su Qing handed the bamboo tube and the pill to Xiaoying. Xiao Ying looked at the bamboo tube filled with water and the bag of pills, wanting to say something but stopping.
She had looked for water, but those bamboo tubes were already empty. Why did sister Su Qing take out a bamboo tube full of water?
I didn’t see sister Su Qing making medicine. Why did it seem like there was an endless supply of medicine, and she could always take out medicine?
When Su Qing saw her expression, she didn’t ask and let her think whatever she wanted!
“Godmother, eat the pill.”
Ji Xiaoying did not think too deeply about things she could not understand. She handed the pill to Madam Li and gently advised her to take it.
“What is this?”
Madam Li didn’t know what medicine this was. She just asked.
“This is the medicine for the eyes.”
Ji Xiaoying looked at Su Qing’s back. Her sister didn’t say what medicine it was. However, godmother didn’t have any other problems. It should be to treat her eyes.
“Really? Can my eyes still be cured?”
Madam Li grabbed Xiaoying’s hand in surprise. She yearned for the light too much. She wanted to see her son, Xiaoying, Shuisheng, and the cold lady driving the carriage with her own eyes.
“Sister is a divine doctor. Her medicine will cure you.”
Ji Xiaoying’s tone was filled with pride. It was her heartfelt admiration for Su Qing.
The corners of Su Qing’s lips curled up slightly. She was in a good mood.
“Alright,” she said.
Madam Li put the pill in her mouth, and Ji Xiaoying quickly handed her a glass of water. She considerately said,
“Godmother, slow down.”
Under Ji Xiaoying’s care, Madam Li took the pill. She only drank a mouthful of water to finish the medicine and left the rest to Xiaoying.
“You can drink with the children!”
“Godmother, drink more; there’s still a lot more!”
Xiaoying looked at her godmother’s dry lips and placed the bamboo tube by her mouth.
Su Qing looked back. The kind Xiaoying was so good to everyone. This was why Su Qing cherished Xiaoying.
Madam Li had no choice but to take two more sips of water and say she didn’t want anything else. Xiaoying handed the bamboo tube to Su Qing.
“Sister, you drink.”
Su Qing looked at Xiaoying’s dry lips and shook her head.
“I have it; you can drink it!”
“If you don’t drink it, I won’t.”
Xiaoying didn’t believe Su Qing had more water and insisted she drinks it first. Su Qing picked up the bamboo tube filled with water and showed it to her.
“I do have some. You can drink it with the children!”
Ji Xiaoying only believed Su Qing when she saw it. She took a few sips of water from the bamboo tube. When she saw the children looking at her, she handed them the tube.
“Drink up.”
None of the children were greedy. They only took a sip and passed the bamboo tube to the next child. Su Qing didn’t say anything when she saw this, but she liked these children even more now.
...
Because this friendship was something she had never had, she had no friends since she was young, only enemies.
Qiu Yongkang was leading the way on his horse. He had become more cautious after encountering the bandits twice.
Qiu Yongkang found a shallow river bed and galloped back.
“Everyone, hurry up. There’s water up ahead.”
Hearing that there was water, the villagers, who were already exhausted, instantly became motivated and quickened their pace.
An hour later, they arrived at a water source. It was a river bed that flowed down from the mountain. It was not very deep, but it was enough for everyone to drink and cook.
Everyone ran to the river and started drinking water. Su Qing followed them to the river to drink water, mainly to look at the river’s situation. The river bed was too shallow; even if there were fish, they would only be small fish. Catching them would not be easy, but they would not starve.
The small fish caught by Li Daniu and the others had all been dried by Su Qing. The two snakes had also been eaten. There was still half a basket of sweet potatoes, two bags of salt, and the white and fat silkworm babies.
The dried anchovy could be stored for a long time and could be eaten when there was no food. However, Su Qing didn’t want to touch the food just yet. It wouldn’t be too late to eat the silkworm baby after it finished spitting out the silk.
Then she had to find food. The mountain was green, so there must be animals and wild vegetables.
“Come with me; let’s go and find something to eat,”
...
Su Qing called out to the girls. The girls had seen her beating up Qiu Yue and were afraid and respectful of her. Hearing Su Qing’s call, they quickly carried their baskets and followed her.
Xiaoying wanted to follow but was stopped by Su Qing.
“You stay at home and take care of Aunt.”
There was no need for Xiaoying to take care of Madam Li. There were so many people in the village, but Su Qing didn’t want Xiaoying to tire herself out, so she assigned her the simple task of caring for Madam Li.
“Sister, let’s go too.”
Little Tiger and the others ran over and looked up at Su Qing with their big round eyes.
“No, there are poisonous snakes in the mountains.”
Su Qing’s face darkened as she refused. Ji Xiaoying quickly gathered them to her side, looking after the children like a kindergarten Auntie.
Su Qing led the ladies into the mountain and discovered a lotus pond.
