Qiu Yue heard Ji Xiao Ying’s shout and looked over happily, her eyes filled with unconcealed joy. Su Qing, on the other hand, did not even look up and open her eyes. She was completely focused on being a good-for-nothing.

Only after eating and drinking to her heart’s content would she have strength, and only with strength could she enter the mountains to pick herbs and quickly get better.

She ate very quickly and finished the bowl of steaming porridge in just a few mouthfuls. When she finished the bowl, it was as if she had not eaten anything. Her stomach was still growling, but the burning sensation in her stomach was much better. Her cold limbs also felt a little warm. Su Qing felt that she was alive again.

Only then did she notice that her clothes had been changed. Her expression shifted.

Who had changed her clothes while she was unconscious?

Su Qing looked up at Ji Xiao Ying and asked, “You changed my clothes?”

“Yes, sister. I’ve washed your clothes. I’ll patch them up for you when they’re dry,” Ji Xiaoying nodded, but when she thought of the divorce letter, she looked at Su Qing with heartache.

“Sister, do you have a family? If there is, I’ll get big brother to send you back.”

Su Qing understood what she meant the moment she heard her question.

Her cold voice was emotionless as she replied, “You saw it?”

“I didn’t look at it on purpose. It fell to the ground.”

Ji Xiaoying was afraid that she would get angry and quickly explained. Su Qing did not reprimand her when she saw how anxious she was.

She simply said, “Forget it.”

Seeing her like this, Ji Xiao Ying’s heart ached even more. Had her sister given up on life?

Ji Xiao Ying wanted to help Su Qing, but she did not know how.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she said to Su Qing excitedly, “Sister, come with us to Jingshi Road. I heard from my foster father that the land in Jingshi Road is black and so thick that you can pinch oil out of it. Anything you plant will have a good harvest. Also, whoever opens up the land will have the land without having to spend money to buy it. If Yucheng’s land Dragon turns the tide, there will be no harvest. If you can’t live here, why don’t you come with us? When the time comes, I’ll ask big brother to help you open up the land and build a house. You’ll have your own home and land.”

Su Qing had originally decided to leave, but after hearing Ji Xiao Ying’s words, she gave up on that thought. She admitted that she was moved!

Wasn’t Xiao Ying talking about the life she wanted? She could have a home that could shelter her from the wind and rain, a piece of land that she could farm on. She could plow the land at sunrise and rest at sunset. She would be quiet and stand aloof from the world without any conflicts. There would be no more killing or the pungent smell of blood.

“Brother Shui Sheng!”

Qiu Yue greeted Ji Shui Sheng with a smile. Her big eyes did not hide her love for Ji Shui Sheng at all.

When she saw that the basket on his back was filled with medicinal herbs, she asked with a smile, “You’ve picked so many herbs?”

“Qiuyue, boil all the herbs Dahai and Tiedan have gathered and share them with everyone.”

Ji Shui Sheng grunted and threw the two pheasants in his hands onto the ground. He instructed Qiu Yue to brew medicine for everyone. Qiu Yue didn’t want to leave and looked at Ji Shui Sheng with her big bright eyes, asking,

“Brother Shui Sheng, aren’t you going to boil the medicine together with the basket you’re carrying?”

“This medicine isn’t for the cold wind. I’ll boil it myself later,” Ji Shui Sheng explained indifferently.

Qiu Yue turned around and looked at Su Qing, instantly understanding that the medicine was for that woman.

She did not say anything else and nodded gently, “Alright, I’ll go and brew it now.”

Ji Shui Sheng didn’t look at her again and took out the unconscious pangolin from the basket on his back. It took him a lot of effort to catch this thing. This was a necessary medicine for the recovery and blood circulation soup. It was more troublesome to prepare the pangolin into medicine.

However, since he had decided to save that woman, he had to do his best.

The woman’s internal and external injuries were very serious. For the time being, he would help her treat her fractures and blood clots to reduce her pain.

At the thought of this, Ji Shui Sheng couldn’t help but glance at the cart and his eyes met Su Qing’s. She sat in the cart with a calm expression. There was no pain on her face, as if she had never been injured.

Ji Shui Sheng could not help but admire her. Even men could not withstand the pain of a broken bone, but she could still endure the intense pain to save Xiao Ying. She was really very strong.

The reason why Su Qing was staring at Ji Shui Sheng was not because she had taken a fancy to him, but because she had taken a fancy to the medicine in his hands.

Little Seven’s excited little voice had been wailing in Su Qing’s ears since Ji Shui Sheng appeared, “Master, there’s medicine now. You can mix it with jinguning.”

Ji Shui Sheng looked over and saw Su Qing nodding at him, so Ji Shui Sheng stiffly lowered his head and continued with his work.

Concocting the medicine took a lot of time. In order to get the medicine, Su Qing endured the pain in her ribs and got out of the cart and walked towards him.

Ji Xiao Ying saw that she had gotten up and hurriedly came over to help her up.

“Sister, are you going to the toilet? I’ll help you there. ”

Su Qing felt a warm current in her heart. She had never experienced the feeling of being cared for since she was young.

So it was this warm?

“No, I want to go over and help your big brother.”

Ji Xiao Ying was a little surprised.

“Ah? Are you sure you can do it?”

“I’ve studied medicine. ”

Su Qing wasn’t lying. The God of War was not only good at killing people but also at saving people. Before he had the healing system, he had to heal himself.

“But your current body?”

Ji Xiao Ying looked at Su Qing’s swaying body and was truly worried.

“It’s fine. I have to move around. I’ll rust if I keep lying down.”

Su Qing made up an excuse. She wanted to smile at Ji Xiao Ying, but after being cold and heartless for so long, she had lost the ability to smile.

“Alright then!”

Ji Xiaoying thought about it and agreed, so she helped Su Qing to Ji Shui Sheng.

“Big Brother, Big Sister said she’ll help you brew the medicine.”

...

Ji Shui Sheng looked at Su Qing in surprise, “Will you?”

“I will. Leave this to me. Go and eat!”

Su Qing stared at the pangolin in his hand as little Seven’s anxious voice rang in his ears, “Master, give me the medicine. Little seven can make it for you.”

“Can you do it?”

Ji Shui Sheng was still not at ease to hand the medicine over to her. With his swaying body, he broke the medicine jar. This was a memento left behind by his foster father.

“Yes, I can.”

“Pangolin needs to be processed. Can you do it?”

“I will.”

A short and simple answer, without a word of nonsense. Ji Shui Sheng could not help but take another look at her. This woman exuded a sense of mystery. Who exactly was she?

Li Daniu was busy at the river side, sweating profusely, but he still couldn’t finish weaving the fishing net. When he saw that Ji Shui Sheng had returned, he shouted as if he had found his savior.

“Brother Shui Sheng, come and help!”

...

“I’ll prepare the pangolin for you. You can brew the medicine yourself. Drink it when it’s done. It’ll make you feel less pain.”

Seeing that Li Daniu, this good-for-nothing, couldn’t handle it, Ji Shui Sheng was very helpless. He turned around and glanced at Su Qing. In the end, he was still worried and insisted on processing the pangolin before handing it to her.

Su Qing did not expect the medicine to be for her. However, her expression did not change at all as she quietly watched Ji Shui Sheng make the pangolin.

She felt that when this man was focused on his work, the hostility in his body decreased greatly. Su Qing stood on Ji Shui Sheng’s left side and inadvertently glanced at him. Suddenly, she noticed that something was wrong.
