Qiu Yongkang carried Qiu Yue deep into the mountains. He found a soft spot without any tools and started digging with his hands.
He didn’t know how long he had been digging, but his fingernails were already dripping with blood before he finally dug a shallow hole.
Qiu Yongkang took off his clothes and wrapped them around his sister’s head. He couldn’t find a coffin for her, so he could only make a mark. He would come back to bury her again later.
Qiu Yongkang buried Qiu Yue and planted a dried tree branch before the grave. He also left a mark on the nearby tree trunk so that it would be easier to find her in the future.
“Qiu Yue, you were kind and gentle in the past, but the word ‘love’ has harmed you. Big brother only hopes that you won’t be obsessed with love in your next life and be a carefree person.”
Qiu Yongkang’s eyes turned red as he looked at the new grave. He felt a sharp pain in his heart. He whispered to his sister, “After all, we’re family.”
Qiu Yongkang had been out too long, so he had to leave no matter how reluctant he was. Not long after he left, a man in black appeared in front of the new grave and laughed evilly.
…..
This person was dressed in black and wore a black mask. He wore a vast bamboo hat on his head, revealing only a pair of eyes shining with green light.
The crows in the forest heard his laughter and flew up from the trees in surprise. They circled in the sky and saw the mman in black start to dig the grave.
When Qiu Yongkang returned to the group, old master Qiu and Aunt Qiu quickly asked, “Did you find Qiu Yue?”
Qiu Yongkang couldn’t tell them the news of Qiu Yue’s death, as he couldn’t bear the pain. He shook his head and said,
“No, I don’t know where she went.”
Ji Shuisheng walked over. Madam Li, seventh old Jiang, and Wang Youliang were seriously injured. They did not have time to pick herbs in the mountains, so Ji Shuisheng wrote a prescription and bought the medicine from the city. When he returned, he boiled the medicine for them and bandaged their wounds. He had been busy since returning to the Peach Blossom Cove team.
“Yongkang.”
Ji Shuisheng looked into Qiu Yongkang’s eyes. After a long time, he could tell what he wanted to ask from his eyes.
Qiu Yongkang walked over to him and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Qiuyue is dead.”
If she died, she wouldn’t go and tell on them, and the people of Peach Blossom would be safe.
Ji Shuisheng patted Qiu Yongkang’s shoulder, “My condolences,”
Since the Peach Blossom Cove villagers were no longer in danger, there was no need to rush on their journey. Ji Shuisheng decided to rest at the same spot and wait for Su Qing to return.
Ji Xiaoying stayed by her godmother’s side the entire time; her eyes were red like a rabbit’s. Her godmother had suffered severe injuries to save her, and she would continue to blame herself if she did not see her recover.
Zhong Yong was even more so. He was as pitiful as an abandoned puppy. He guarded his mother closely and called out ‘Mother!’ occasionally.
Su Qing had a sumptuous feast at old master Chu’s house. She was very interested in the dishes, especially the stinky Chinese perch. It didn’t smell good and looked terrible, but it was delicious.
And that hairy tofu was as tender as an egg custard. It tasted much better than ordinary tofu.
When old master Chu saw Su Qing eating with relish, his taste buds were opened wide, and he ate an extra bowl of rice than usual.
“Sir, I regret not meeting you earlier. Can you stay for a few more days?”
“No, I still have to escape!”
Su Qing shook her head. Why did she say that without any warning?
Su Qing raised her head and looked at old master Chu. Since he had already said it, it didn’t matter.
There were thousands of refugees, and she could change her appearance anytime. Finding her among these people would be difficult, so she was not afraid at all.
“If Teacher does not mind, you can stay at my house. This old man can help Teacher open a Medical Hall. With Teacher’s medical skills, people will come to admire you, and you will not have to worry about your livelihood.”
When master Chu heard that his Savior would escape, he pitied Su Qing and wanted to help him.
Su Qing waved her hand and rejected it,
“No need. I don’t like to be bound, and I wouldn’t say I like to give medical services. It’s all up to fate.”
“Alright, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me. I will do my best to help.”
Master Chu didn’t force Su Qing. It was understandable that most capable people didn’t like to be tied down.
“I have an acquaintance who wants to ask if there was anyone who lost a child in Su Zhou 14. years ago. The girl was about three years old.”
Liu Baozhu said that she entered the Liu family at three, which meant that Madam Sun kidnapped her from Su Zhou when the original owner was three years old. She was now seventeen years old, which was fourteen years ago. “Fourteen years ago? A girl?”
Master Chu mumbled to himself. Su Qing picked up a piece of chicken and put it in her mouth, chewing slowly. She didn’t rush him; she needed to give him time to think.
” At that time, many cases of children were randomly thrown around in Su Zhou. As far as I know, dozens of cases were reported to the authorities. I was dissatisfied with that, and my family also lost a granddaughter. Many years have passed without any news.”
Master Chu’s eyes were filled with tears as he remembered his granddaughter. He had lost the child in the blink of an eye and had not been heard from for more than ten years. When he opened the barn for disaster relief, his granddaughter had insisted on following him.
“What’s your granddaughter’s name?”
Su Qing looked at old master Chu with hope. It was not bad to be the granddaughter of a kind person.
“My granddaughter’s name is Mo Mengyao. She was five years old when she was lost. This old man has been looking for her for more than ten years, but I can’t find her in the vast sea of people.”
The old man’s heart ached at the mention of his granddaughter, and tears fell when he said her name. Old Mu handed over a handkerchief with heartache.
He wished that the girl Su Qing was talking about was his granddaughter.
“Five years old?”
The hope in Su Qing’s eyes was extinguished. The name and age did not match. This old man was not her grandfather.
“My friend’s name is Xi-er, and she went missing when she was three years old. She was wearing pink clothes when she went missing. Please help me check, and I’ll come again next year.”
Su Qing asked master Chu for help. After all, he had a vast network in Su province, and it would be easier to find out. It was much better than searching aimlessly on her own.
“Alright!”
Master Chu nodded in agreement. The godly doctor had saved his life, so he still had time to look for his granddaughter. It was reasonable for him to help check.
“I’ve eaten and drunk my fill, so I’ll leave now.”
Su Qing stood up after she had eaten her fill. Master Chu quickly asked old Mu to hand over the consultation fee.
“This two thousand tael is your consultation fee, and this one thousand tael is this old man’s way of thanking you for saving my life. Please accept it, Sir.”
Old master Chu paid an extra 1000 taels of silver, but su Qing refused. “No, 1 only want the consultation fee as promised.”
“Teacher doesn’t love money; you’re a true gentleman.”
Su Qing rejected the 1000 taels of silver without even blinking. Master Chu admired her character even more now.
“Old Mu will prepare a carriage for you.”
Since he didn’t want the money, master Chu gave him something. Carriages were the most useful on the road.
Even though old master Chu was unsure if Su Qing had escaped, however, she had walked here, and it was better to have a carriage than walk.
“Thank you,” she said.
Su Qing accepted the carriage. She still had to chase after the group from Peach Blossom so that it would be faster with a carriage.
When Su Qing caught up with the group, she realized something had happened..
