Chapter 208: Chapter 208. Why Are You Always Different?

The men had already sent a few batches to look for water sources. One team was led by Qu Da, and Jiang Cheng led the other team. They had lived in the north for many years and were familiar with the location of water sources.
However, the familiar water sources had dried up because of the drought this year, and there was no clue about a new water source.
Su Qing saw that Qin Feng, Madam Li, and the children could no longer hold on. If they could not find a water source soon, someone would die from a lack of water.
” Xiao Qi, is there a water source nearby?”
Su Qing asked Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi shook her head sadly,
“Master, there is no water source within a radius of dozens of miles.”
Su Qing frowned when he heard Xiao Qi say there was no water source within a few dozen meters. Since she couldn’t find a water source, she had to think of a way.
She had the experience of surviving on an isolated island and knew how to get water.
“Shuisheng, get the men to dig a hole. The deeper, the better.”
Su Qing went to find Ji Shuisheng and asked him to lead the men to dig a hole.
“Alright.”
Ji Shuisheng didn’t even ask Su Qing why he should dig the hole. He had always trusted her and immediately led his men to dig a hole. Su Qing asked them to find a low-lying place away from the sun.
Su Qing had been watching them dig the hole. The top layer was full of dry sand, and only when they dug a few meters deep could she see signs of moisture in the sand.
Su Qing grabbed a handful of sand. Her hands were very moist, and there was still plenty of water vapor. She said to Ji Shuisheng and the others,
“Alright, continue digging.”
Using a deep pit to get water required plastic film. Su Qing negotiated with the system. She didn’t ask for a reward for the previous mission, but she wanted a bundle of plastic film this time.
The system reluctantly agreed but also took the opportunity to make a request.
“Host, you need to level up your darning within a day. Otherwise, your darning level will be completely erased.”
This could be considered an unfair agreement, but Su Qing could only agree now. Her survival had already reached the most dangerous stage, and there was no room for her to consider.
She asked Ji Shuisheng and the others to continue digging ten deep pits until they saw wet sand. She then took the girls to find shrubs and used the atmosphere to get water. She placed the cloth in the grass and connected the other end to a coarse porcelain bowl. This way, water would be in the bowl tomorrow after staying for one night.
Qin Feng also came over to help. Right now, Qin Feng had already become an old man from the countryside. He was tanned by the sun, and his face was dry from the wind and sun. Wrinkles appeared crazily. Even Wan Shengchang wouldn’t be able to recognize him as the person he was looking for.
He didn’t want to burden his grandson and the Peach Blossom Cove, so he always looked for work that he could do.
After Ji Shuisheng and the others finished digging the pit, Su Qing asked them to go hunting. No one was allowed to look at her when she fetched water.
“I’m borrowing water from the heavens. If someone sees the process of borrowing water, the heavens will punish us and stop supplying us with water.”
Su Qing used the superstitious mentality of the ancients to scare them.
“No one is allowed to come over the slope.”
Hearing Su Qing’s solemn words, Ji Shuisheng gave strict orders to the young and old of Peach Blossom Cove.
“Did everyone hear that? No one is allowed to cross the slope. If the heavens are angry, we will die of thirst here.”
Old Master Qiu quickly shouted at the people of Peach Blossom Cove. Anyway, he believed her words without a doubt.
The weather was too cold. The elderly and children were shivering in the cold wind. Their lips were blue and purple from the cold. Su Qing brought them to a place that faced the sun and could be sheltered from the wind. Everyone gathered together to keep warm.
Su Qing told the girls to collect firewood and dry branches to light a fire for everyone to keep warm. She did not say anything when she was doing things, and the girls were used to it, so they followed her and worked silently.
Madam Li and Auntie Qiu were busy making cotton-padded clothes. Su Qing’s cotton-padded clothes skills were also increasing, but there were still two slots left before she could level up. If she could not level up by one level today, Su Qing’s darning skills would be reset to zero, and her God of War ability would be downgraded.
After lighting the fire, Su Qing did not care about anything else. Madam Li looked at her a few times and wanted to say something, but she hesitated. She found a piece of silk and began to embroider.
Making cotton-padded clothes was the most important thing now. Why was Su Qing embroidering?
The women of Peach Blossom Cove had the same thoughts as Madam Li. They did not understand why Su Qing was always different.
However, no one asked. Su Qing did not need to explain this to anyone. Even if you asked, she would not answer you.
Today, Su Qing will attempt double-sided embroidery’s most challenging part. She asked Xiao Qi for the method of double-sided embroidery, and after a simple look, she began to embroider.
To seize the time, she decided to choose the simplest one. On one side, she would embroider a duck; on the other, she would embroider a lobelia with a few petals.
Her slender fingers danced up and down, and her expression was gentle and focused. Where was the shadow of a cold killing god?
Ji Shuisheng, who had just returned from hunting, was stunned. He did not expect her to have such a ladylike side. His heart itched, and he wanted to hug and kiss her to his heart’s content.
“You’re back, Shuisheng.”
Ji Shuisheng’s gaze returned to her as he handed over the prey.
Auntie Qiu looked at the two skinny rabbits in Ji Shuisheng’s hands and did not dare to show her disappointment.
Without a doubt, it was difficult for humans to survive in the desert without water, let alone animals.
Aunt Qiu and Aunt Li looked at Su Qing at the same time. Theirs did not taste good. In the past, she was the one who cooked this kind of prey.
However, Su Qing didn’t seem to have any intention of cooking. She kept her head lowered and continued to embroider.
Su Qing was too abnormal today!
“Let’s do it!”
After watching Su Qing for so long, Auntie Li told Auntie Qiu they had learned a lot.
She crushed the salt and smeared it on the processed wild rabbits. She just had to roast them on the fire. It was pretty simple.
The sky was getting darker and darker. The smell of roasted rabbits attracted the wolves. Ji Shuisheng drew his bow and shot arrows. The girls also took their crossbows and participated in the battle with the wolves. Zhong Yong was even braver. He held a hammer and hammered one. Qu Da and the others were all soldiers who had been through hundreds of battles. It was even easier for them to deal with the wolves.
When Ji Shuisheng and the others returned from killing the wolves, they found that Su Qing was still sitting in front of the fire, embroidering as if that was the most important thing.
Ji Shuisheng walked to Su Qing’s side and sat down. Su Qing did not even look up at him. Her hands were still picking out the needles quickly, and her eyes were focused and solemn.
Ji Shuisheng opened his mouth, wanting to attract her attention. Unfortunately, Su Qing was too focused and had a stomach full of words. He did not have the heart to disturb her.
He stood up to make arrangements for tonight’s night shift. With Qu Da and the others joining in, Ji Shuisheng’s night shift was much more manageable.
Zhong Yong pestered Ji Shuisheng to learn new moves again. He had run out of talent, so he would have to teach him sword techniques. Ji Shuisheng had already taught him all the hammer moves he knew.
However, Zhong Yong did not like swords and thought children used the weapon.
Xiaoying sat quietly beside Su Qing and watched her embroider. She filled the fire with branches to keep the fire burning so that her sister wouldn’t freeze.
Su Qing didn’t even have the time to look at the progress. She focused on the double-sided embroidery and finally finished her masterpiece before midnight. A golden light flashed in front of her eyes. The darning had leveled up. Su Qing let out a sigh of relief. Only then did she realize that her back was aching and her neck was stiff.
[Congratulations to the host for leveling up. Darn has leveled up to level 5. Physique, spiritual power, combat power, and war god ability have all leveled to level 35.]
