Su Qing picked up the shiny object from the ruins and saw that it was a small black bell. The pattern on the bell was very strange, looking like it was some kind of animal. The rope around the bell was also black, and the loop was very thin. It looked like an anklet that a child would tie around her ankle.
Su Qing wanted to throw the bell away. This kind of small bell, which was neither gold nor silver, was not worth much.
“Wait! Master, don’t lose it!”
Little seven’s anxious voice stopped Su Qing. She looked up into the sky, waiting for little seven’s explanation.
“This foot bell is related to your birth.”
Little seven was used to her master’s coldness and reticence. She didn’t need to ask herself to say it.
“Do you know the identity of the original owner?”
Su Qing raised the foot bell under the sun and looked at the animal pattern on it. Her cold voice was emotionless.
“Little seven doesn’t know, but when the owner picked up the foot bell, the words “The foot Bell is related to the original owner’s identity,” appeared on the screen,” little seven answered honestly.
Su Qing nodded and threw the foot bell into the system for little seven to keep.
Since the money couldn’t be found, there was no need to stay in this dilapidated place for another minute.
Su Qing walked towards the mountain with difficulty. She wanted to collect the herbs needed to make the pill.
The nearby mountains did not have the herbs she needed, but little seven found Lingzhi on Peach Mountain to make the recovery pill. This was the most important medicine, so she had to go even if it was a long way.
The preparation of the medicine was urgent. In order to save time, Su Qing used the only copper coins she had to get to Peach Mountain on an ox cart.
Peach Mountain was famous for its peach flowers that bloomed all over the mountain every April. The scenery on the mountain was as beautiful as a Fairyland in spring.
It was August now, and the peach blossom season had long passed. The great Xia Kingdom had been suffering for two years from drought and locust plagues, and the peach trees had also withered. The entire mountain was in a half dead state.
Su Qing was not here to enjoy the scenery. She looked at the rolling mountain range and asked coldly, “Little seven, which way?”
“East.”
Little seven looked at the screen and saw that there was not only medicine there. It also saw a gorgeous red Cloud, and a Golden Dragon was faintly flying in the red Cloud.
Little seven was very confused. Should she tell her master? In the end, she decided not to say anything. Her master didn’t like to hear these irrelevant things.
Su Qing did not say anything else and walked towards the eastern mountain. If he had the body of the God of War in his previous life, he would be able to walk on the mountain as if it was flat ground. However, with Su Qing’s current body, which was beyond a cure, climbing this mountain was as difficult as ascending the heavens.
This body was already like a crossbow. Su Qing couldn’t hold on any longer when she reached the foot of the mountain. Her eyes went black and she fell into the ditch by the side of the road.
At the same time that Su Qing fainted, a group of refugees appeared on the mountain road. These people were dressed neatly and looked like they had just come out to escape. Some of them were carrying loads, some were pushing wheelbarrows, and some were carrying bags of various sizes.
There was only one ox cart pulled by water buffaloes in the group, and the people in the cart were old, weak, sick, and disabled.
Walking in front of the group was a strong man with a full beard. Under his thick, ink-like eyebrows, he had a pair of deep, dark Phoenix eyes. His high nose bridge outlined a cold, hard line. He stared ahead, and his determined eyes had a chilling murderous aura, like a cheetah that could tear people apart at any time.
He was wearing a coarse cloth and long boots made of animal skin. He was pulling a wooden cart, which was filled with pots, bowls, ladles, bowls, bags of various sizes, food, farm tools, and other miscellaneous items.
There was also a young girl beside him. She looked to be about 14 or 15 years old. She had an oval face and willowy eyebrows. Her facial features were extremely delicate and beautiful. Although she was a mountain girl, her skin was not as dark and red as other girls. Instead, it was pink and white. Her almond-shaped eyes were black and bright. Even her coarse dress did not affect her beauty.
The little girl was obviously tired from walking, as her little face was red and covered in sweat. When she looked up to wipe her sweat, she saw Su Qing fall into a ditch by the side of the road.
She was so shocked that she hurriedly called out to her big brother, “Brother, that woman fell in! Hurry up and save her!”
Ji Shui Sheng only glanced at her expressionlessly and continued to pull the cart forward.
They had just set off, and this kind of thing happened a lot on the way to escape. Could they manage all of them?
No one in the team behind made a sound. Everyone had the same mentality as Ji Shui Sheng.
The less trouble the better.
“Brother! Brother!”
Seeing that her brother refused to save her, Ji Xiao Ying anxiously chased after him. She pulled on his sleeve and refused to let go.
She took out her trump card and shook her brother’s arm, “Brother, please save her. If we don’t, she’ll die.”
Ji Shui Sheng frowned as he looked at his sister and ordered in a deep voice, “Let go.”
“I won’t. If you don’t save her, I won’t let go.”
Ji Xiao Ying stubbornly refused to let go and insisted that her brother save her.
This time, Ji Shui Sheng did not give in to his sister’s temper. He pulled her hand away with a sullen face and continued to move forward with the wooden cart.
Seeing her brother’s determined back, Ji Xiao Ying stomped her feet in anger and shouted at him, “You have a heart of stone. If you don’t want to save her, I’ll save her myself.”
After she finished speaking, she ran down the ditch. The ditch was neither deep or shallow, and the road was full of grass and potholes. Ji Xiao Ying stepped on thin air and fell in.
Hearing his sister’s cry of surprise, Ji Shui Sheng threw the wooden cart aside and ran to the edge of the ditch. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his sister standing up from the ditch with her head covered in withered grass.
“Brother, she’s still alive.”
Ji Xiao Ying’s temper disappeared when she saw her brother coming to save her. She pointed at the unconscious Su Qing and smiled at him.
Ji Shui Sheng glanced at Su Qing, who was lying at the bottom of the ditch. What had happened to this woman? She was beaten up badly. Her body was like a thin stick, and she was almost buried by the weeds at the bottom of the ditch.
He frowned. He knew that if he didn’t do anything, his younger sister would definitely not agree. According to her stubborn little temper, she might not leave.
“Don’t do it again.”
Ji Shui Sheng’s face darkened as he raised his hand and knocked on his sister’s head. He didn’t use much force but it still hurt. He wanted to teach her a lesson.
“I know.”
Ji Xiao Ying clutched her forehead in pain. However, as long as her brother was willing to save her poor sister, she would knock on her head! He agreed without hesitation.
Ji Shui Sheng carried Su Qing. The woman in his arms was too light; he couldn’t feel her weight at all, as if he was carrying a feather. He turned around and asked his sister, “Can you come up on your own?”
“Yes, I can,” Ji Xiao Ying nodded. What was this height? She could climb up walls that were even higher than this.
Ji Shui Sheng’s legs were long and his steps were large. He walked up to the wooden cart in a few steps. The team had also stopped because of them. When they saw the woman that Ji Shui Sheng was carrying, they all sucked in a breath of cold air.
Why was she beaten up so badly?
A weak woman appeared in such a sparsely populated place and was beaten up like this. Did she encounter bandits?
“Xiao Ying, clean up a place.”
Ji Shui Sheng carried Su Qing and turned around to order his sister. Ji Xiao Ying followed closely behind her brother as she removed the straw from her head and agreed.
There were many things in the cart, so Xiao Ying put her things to the side. She was afraid that Su Qing would be jolted, even putting down a mattress.
Ji Shui Sheng waited for her to lay the mattress before placing Su Qing on the carriage board. He looked at the woman, with her eyes closed and her face covered in bruises, and frowned slightly. He wondered what she had experienced.
