Qiu Yongkang nodded solemnly, “Alright, this Qiu will not hesitate to go through fire and water.”
Su Qing nodded and didn’t say anything more. She took out a pill and handed it to Aunt Qiu, who then quickly took the pill and ran into the forest.
“Qiuyue, quickly take your medicine. You’ll be fine after you take it.”
Aunt Qiu held the pill carefully as if it was a treasure.
Qiu Yue looked at the pill with grief and anger. She wanted to say, “I don’t want it!” with dignity and then hit the pill away.
However, the pain in her stomach made her smarter. At this time, face and self-esteem were not as important as curing her illness. She did not want to die like this, at such a young age.
Qiu Yue angrily s.n.a.t.c.hed the pill from her mother’s hand and swallowed it. In a moment, the pain in her stomach disappeared, and the feeling of falling and diarrhea disappeared. She did not want to believe that Su Qing’s medicine was so effective, but the truth forced her to believe.
“Mother, help me find a set of clean clothes and bring me a bucket of water to wash.”
Qiu Yue looked at the yellow stains on her pants. The stench on her body made her want to dig a hole and hide in it. She didn’t want brother Shui Sheng to see her in such a sorry state, so she begged her mother to get her a clean set of clothes and water.
Aunt Qiu saw that her daughter’s face was no longer twisted in pain and knew that she had recovered. She walked out of the forest happily. The women who were close to Aunt Qiu all came over and asked with concern, “Qiuyue, are you feeling better?”
“Alright, Su Qing is a medicine G.o.d. You’ll be fine after you eat it.” Aunt Qiu’s face was full of joy. She was full of praise for Su Qing, but she also apologized to the others guiltily, “I’ll go get some clothes for Qiu Yue to change into. I’m sorry for taking up everyone’s time. ”
“No one wants to be sick. It’s okay, we can all wait,” Li Daniu’s mother said hurriedly. After all, she was the closest to Aunt Qiu and liked Qiu Yue the most. She really hoped that the two families could get married.
“That’s right. No one wants to be sick. The child is suffering. We can’t help but feel sorry for her.”
Old seventh Jiang’s mother, Auntie Jiang, also said that she liked Qiu Yue. She was like a lady from a big family and really hoped that Qiu Yue could be her daughter-in-law.
Qiu Yongkang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that his sister had recovered. He walked over to Su Qing and cupped his fists.
“Thank you for your help, miss. I will never forget your great kindness.”
Su Qing didn’t even look at Qiu Yongkang. She was focused on weaving her straw sandals.
Qiu Yongkang wasn’t angry. He cupped his fists again and left.
Ji Shui Sheng walked to Su Qing and thanked her in a low voice.
“Thank you,” he said.
He knew that Su Qing had only taken out the medicine so as not to delay the journey. Su Qing looked up at him and then lowered her head to continue weaving the straw sandals, as if she had not heard anything.
Qiu Yue washed up and changed into new clothes before walking out of the bushes. She didn’t dare to raise her head for fear of seeing everyone’s mocking gazes.
There was no water to wash the clothes that she had just changed out of, and she could not throw them away either. Aunt Qiu rolled them up and wrapped them in a large tree leaf, preparing to wash them in a place with water. However, Qiu Yue felt that the clothes represented her greatest humiliation, so she did not allow her to take them with her. She just threw them into the bushes.
Aunt Qiu knew that her daughter was in a bad mood. Although she was reluctant to part with the clothes, she still let Qiu Yue do as she pleased.
The team continued on their way. Although Qiu Yue was no longer having diarrhea, she did not have the strength to walk, so she was still sitting in the carriage, with her head lowered and her hair covering half of her face.
Due to the huge disturbance caused by the water, even though everyone’s mouths were dry and their lips were chapped to the point of bleeding, no one dared to drink the water from the bamboo tubes. The lack of water made everyone dizzy and it was difficult to move. The speed of the group had clearly slowed down. Ji Shui Sheng anxiously rushed to the back a few times, but it was to no avail.
When Su Qing was thirsty, she took the bamboo tube to drink water, which frightened Ji Xiao Ying.
“Sister, you can’t drink it. You’ll have diarrhea.”
Su Qing looked at her and said, “I’m fine.”
She raised the bamboo tube and drank it all.
Ji Xiao Ying was frightened.
“Sister, you’ll have diarrhea.”
“I’ve already purified it with medicine. You can drink it too.”
Su Qing took out a bamboo tube of water from the basket and handed it to Ji Xiao Ying. She had asked little seven to purify the water in the basket, so it was safe.
“Really?”
Ji Xiao Ying was overjoyed. She was dying of thirst and impatiently raised the bamboo tube to drink it all. Qiu Yue had been watching the situation. When she saw Su Qing drinking the water, she did not say anything. When she saw Su Qing giving Ji Xiao Ying water, she shouted, “Xiao Ying, don’t drink it. That woman is up to no good. She’s trying to harm you.”
Ji Xiao Ying looked at Qiu Yue unhappily, “Big sister would never harm me, and she would never harm everyone. You and Grandpa were both saved by big sister, so why are you still saying that about her?”
Ji Xiao Ying felt indignant for Su Qing, and this made Qiu Yue’s heart ache.
Su Qing looked at Qiu Yue coldly and raised her voice to the villagers of Peach blossom Cove, “If you trust me, drink this water. I promise you’ll be fine.”
The villagers of Peach Blossom Cove all chose to believe Su Qing, and under Qiu Yue’s anxious gaze, they all ran over to get a bamboo tube to drink water.
Su Qing stood at the side and looked on indifferently. Qiu Yongkang also walked over and picked up the bamboo tube. Su Qing looked at him and ordered coldly, You’re not allowed to let her drink it. ”
Qiu Yongkang was stunned for a moment, but when he thought of what his sister had done to Su Qing, he nodded.
Aunt Qiu wanted to give her half-finished water to her daughter, but she felt an ice arrow flying towards her. She looked up and saw Su Qing’s cold eyes. She sighed. Why did her daughter want to go against Su Qing? She should be taught a lesson.
Everyone drank the water, and everyone was fine. The situation that Qiu Yue had thought of did not happen. Everyone drank the water and seemed to have regained their strength, and they could continue on their journey.
Qiu Yue was the only one who did not drink any water. She was so thirsty that her lips were dry and her throat was smoking. She almost fainted under the sun, but in the end, she could not hold on and actually did faint. Aunt Qiu was so anxious that she went to find more water, not leaving a single drop.
After saving Qiu Yue and giving everyone water to drink, Su Qing’s merit points increased by two more bars. This was a pleasant surprise.
On the main road, she saw that the number of disaster victims had increased. They were in twos and threes, their clothes were ragged, and their eyes were filled with despair. They were supporting each other as they walked forward. From time to time, some people would fall down, some would be able to get up, and some would simply not be able to get up.
Seeing that Ji Shui Sheng’s team had horses and carriages, the eyes of the disaster victims were filled with envy. When the villagers of Peach Blossom Cove saw the tragic state of the disaster victims, everyone felt even more that Ji Shui Sheng and Su Qing were good. It was their protection that allowed everyone to live so comfortably.
“Everyone, follow closely. Don’t fall behind.”
When Ji Shui Sheng saw so many disaster victims, good and bad mixed together, he wondered who was mixed in. He cautiously asked Li Daniu and the rest to be on full alert and protect the villagers of Peach Blossom Cove.
A group of soldiers appeared on the official road. The soldiers in front of them held a large flag with the word “ten thousand” written on it. The soldiers galloped on their horses and did not care about the disaster victims on the road at all. Those who ran slowly were trampled by the horses’ hooves, and their intestines were pierced.
“Hurry up and retreat to the side of the road.”
Ji Shui Sheng saw that the situation was not good and quickly ordered the villagers of Peach Blossom Cove to go down to the ditch by the side of the road. However, some people were still a step too slow.
