87 Chapter 87. She’s Really Cold
“No, the river bed within a ten-mile radius has dried up.”
Zhong Yong’s words extinguished Ji Shuisheng’s last hope. If that was the case, he could only use Su Qing’s water storage method. He would collect dew in the morning and leave after he had collected enough. He would be thirsty before that!
Su Qing heard their conversation and asked Xiao Qi, ”
“Is there a water source nearby?”
“Master, Xiao Qi will go and find it now.”
Xiao Qi was bored and in a daze in the system. It did its best to help its master find a water source. When it saw that its master had finally remembered it, it jumped up happily and quickly ran to the screen with its short legs, wriggling its chubby body.
Su Qing’s triangular pants had been sewn up, and the knitting was about to be completed by two spaces. The ancient-style pants were uncomfortable and had to be tied with a belt. The pants were uncomfortable when the wind blew up, so when she saw that the top of the pants was done, she wanted to change immediately. However, too many people were in the car, so she had to find a chance to go to the toilet to change.
She had sewn a double layer at the waist of the trousers she had made, leaving a hole on the left and right sides. She had woven a thin rope through it so the belt would not fall off awkwardly and she would not be so clumsy.
Ji Xiaoying looked at the pants that Su Qing had just made and picked them up curiously.
“Brother, what are you making?”
“Underpants.”
Su Qing held up the hem of the pants and gestured to her. Ji Xiaoying exclaimed in disbelief,
“How do I wear this?”
Su Qing was amused.
“You can wear the pants however you like; no one can see inside you. ”
“That’s true!”
Ji Xiaoying was no longer conflicted. Her sister was right; who knew if she was wearing it inside? Su Qing glanced at her. Xiao Ying’s ability to accept new things was still strong, so she made a set for her.
As the two sisters were talking, Xiao Qi’s cute voice shouted excitedly,
“Master, there’s an underground water source five miles into the mountains. It’s huge.”
Su Qing praised,
“Xiao Qi is not bad.”
Xiao Qi heard Su Qing’s praise and turned her chubby body in circles in the system.
“Master praised me; Xiao Qi is so happy!”
The corner of Su Qing’s lips curled up. Xiao Qi was getting increasingly cuter.
The problem now was that she knew this mountain had an underground water source, but how could she make Ji Shuisheng and the others believe her?
“Shuisheng!”
Su Qing parted the curtains and called out to Ji Shuisheng. Ji Shuisheng turned around to look at her.
“I feel that this mountain has spiritual energy, so we should be able to find Lingzhi.”
Su Qing looked into Ji Shuisheng’s eyes as she spoke. He once said he would help him find Lingzhi, but he didn’t know if he remembered.
“Really? Then I’ll go and find one for you.”
When Ji Shuisheng heard that there was Lingzhi on the mountain, he immediately pulled the reins. He still remembered his promise and had been worried about Su Qing’s illness. Although he had confirmed that her medical skills were superb, a doctor could not treat herself. Without medicine, a doctor could not treat her illness.
Seeing Ji Shuisheng’s reaction, Su Qing’s eyes flickered. She decided that she had to follow and said,
“I’ll go too.”
“You can stay here and rest. Don’t worry; I’ll help you find the Lingzhi.”
Ji Shuisheng felt going to the deep mountains was unsafe, so he persuaded Su Qing to stay.
“Let’s look for it together. It’ll be faster. We can also see if we can find a water source. I can find the location of the Lingzhi and the water source according to the condition of the mountain range.”
Su Qing said indifferently. This time, Ji Shuisheng did not object to her following them. They urgently needed water, and Su Qing’s ability was a miracle.
It was the same for looking for Lingzhi. The speed would be different. He was looking blindly, while Su Qing was looking for it purposefully.
After entering the mountain, he would protect her, and there wouldn’t be any danger.
“Everyone, rest here and take the time to sleep. Conserve your energy and move as little as possible.”
After Ji Shuisheng decided, he shouted at the back of the group. Upon hearing him, the villagers, who had already been exhausted, sat on the ground and could not get up no matter what. Men lay down and slept without care, but women could not be so bold and had to find a tree to lean against and sleep.
“Zhong Yong, Yongkang, Daniu, old seven, you are responsible for everyone’s safety. Su Qing and I are going to find a water source. We’ll call you guys when we find it.”
“Brother, I’ll go with you.”
Zhong Yong followed behind Ji Shuisheng. He wanted to protect his big brother.
“There are fierce beasts in the mountains. I’ll help you fight them.”
“Okay, then you carry this basket.”
Ji Shuisheng looked at his big body and felt it would be helpful to bring him along, so he let him carry the back basket full of bamboo tubes.
Zhong Yong was proud to be entrusted with such an important task. He carried the basket and ran to his mother, saying happily,
“Mother, I’m going to follow big brother out to find water. You rest well and wait for your son to find you meat to eat!”
“You must pay attention to your safety.”
Like every time her son went hunting, Madam Li would remind him.
“Alright,” he said.
Zhong Yong nodded in agreement. His tall figure carried such a heavy basket on his back as if he was playing. He grinned and returned to Ji Shuisheng’s side,
“Big brother, let’s go!”
Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng also carried a basket on their back. The difference was that Su Qing carried an empty basket, while Ji Shuisheng and Zhong Yong carried a basket filled with bamboo tubes.
The search for the Lingzhi and the water source could be carried out simultaneously without delay.
Tiegang mountain wasn’t a bright mountain with clear waters. It was a mountain made of stone. It was bare and gave off a sense of desolation. Ji Shuisheng raised his head and looked around as he walked. He was puzzled. Why didn’t he see any spiritual energy in this mountain? Would there be Lingzhi in a mountain without spiritual energy?
However, he did not voice out his suspicions. This was Su Qing’s hope, and he did not want to destroy it.
It would be faster to find them if they split up, but getting lost in the deep mountains was easy. It would be difficult to see them again, so Ji Shuisheng gave up the decision to split up.
Zhong Yong grew up in the mountains, so climbing mountains was a piece of cake for him. He was a chatterbox and talked to Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing as he walked.
“When it wasn’t dry, there were a lot of small animals on the mountain. When I entered the mountain, I could catch wild rabbits and pheasants for my mother to eat. Even the small animals were gone when it was dry, and I was so hungry.”
“It must have been hard on you all these years, right?”
Ji Shuisheng looked at Zhong Yong and asked. Zhong Yong shook his head,
“It’s not hard. Uncle was very good to me when I was young. I only knew how to hunt when my uncle died the year before last. There was nothing to hunt in the disaster year, and our days were not good.”
“Uncle?”
Ji Shuisheng asked. Zhong Yong’s eyes reddened, and he said with a sobbing tone,
” Yes, an uncle taught me how to hunt and always made me good food. He also earned money to treat mother’s eyes. He died, and I couldn’t wake him up. Mother and I missed him so much.”
As Zhong Yong spoke, he opened his mouth wide and began to cry. His wolf-like lonely cries echoed in the mountains. Ji Shuisheng’s eyes had also turned red. He clenched his fists tightly to control the hatred in his heart that had burst out.
Su Qing saw the two men crying sadly and expressionlessly walking in front of them. Ji Shuisheng looked at Su Qing’s back. She was freezing as if she had no human emotions.
Su Qing followed the route that Xiao Qi had given her. The mountain road here was challenging to walk on. The rocks were steep, and she needed to focus entirely, or she could easily fall off the cliff.
