“Brother.”

When Ji Xiao Ying saw her brother, she called out to him happily.

However, she immediately pouted unhappily, “What were you doing last night? I was waiting for you to come back and I fell asleep. You didn’t come back.” contemporary romance

Su Qing lowered her eyes to hide the smile in her eyes. Xiao Ying had fallen asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, and she said she was waiting for her brother?

“I went out to find something to eat. Look what I brought back for you.”

Hearing his sister’s coquettish voice, Ji Shui Sheng put away the complicated expression in his eyes and picked up the wild rabbit in his hand for his sister to see.

“Wow! Wild rabbit! So fat!”

Ji Xiaoying stood up happily. Who would not be happy to have meat to eat?

Su Qing glanced at Ji Shui Sheng, and he happened to look over as well. Su Qing calmly retracted his gaze and stood up from the bed. She picked up the blanket and went out to hang it on the cart to dry.

The villagers of Peach Blossom Cove had also woken up. The children were full of energy and had rested for the entire night. When she woke up in the morning, they had been chasing butterflies and running to the grass to catch grasshoppers. They were naive and did not know what suffering was.

Su Qing’s gaze lingered on them for a while, and the ice in her eyes melted. The child’s laughter was too heartwarming, letting people know that the world was beautiful.

There was still some bamboo pork made last night. Aunt Qiu and Aunt li used the remaining heat of the fire last night to heat it up, then shared it with everyone.

There were only more than 60 bamboo tubes in total. As usual, the men would eat the meat in one bamboo tube, and the women and children would eat the meat in one. The elderly were treated the same, and even Old Master Qiu would not eat more than a single bite. He left all the meat for the young and strong.

They were the main force of the escape team. They had to take care of everyone during the day and take turns to protect them at night. When the bandits came, they had to charge and break through the enemy lines.

Su Qing liked the atmosphere in Peach Blossom Cove very much. No one threw a tantrum because of a lack of meat, and they were very united.

The horse meat made from bamboo was delicious. The fragrance of the bamboo mixed with the horse meat and chameleon plant removed the fishy smell, and the meat was tender and smooth. Su Qing didn’t have any requirements for food, as long as it could fill her stomach. However, this bamboo tube of horse meat made her have a great appetite.

She was very satisfied with her cooking.

“Qiu Yunzi, let’s go into the mountains to pick some herbs and sell them in the city.”

Su Qing still remembered that there was no salt last night. With little seven around, she could easily find valuable herbs, and she could still exchange them for salt.

“I’ll talk to Shui Sheng and see what he’s done. ”

Qiu Yingzi did not make her own decision. She had to ask for Ji Shui Sheng’s opinion first. Su Qing did not say anything else. The people in Peach Blossom Cove seemed to rely on Ji Shui Sheng a lot, letting him make all the decisions, whether they be big or small.

Ji Shui Sheng was tying the wild rabbit to the cart. He had already eaten in the morning and would cook it in the evening.

“Shui Sheng.”

Qiu Yingzi walked over with a smile. When Qiu Yue saw that her mother had gone to look for Ji Shui Sheng, she hurriedly followed and looked at Ji Shui Sheng with a pair of big eyes filled with love.

She smiled like a flower and called out, “Brother Shui Sheng.”

“What’s the matter, Aunt Qiu?”

Ji Shui Sheng did not look at Qiu Yue, but asked Aunt Qiu instead.

“We’ve used up all our salt. Su Qing suggested that we go into the mountains to pick herbs and sell them in the city. What do you think about using the money to buy salt?”

When Ji Shui Sheng heard Aunt Qiu’s words, he looked up at Su Qing, who was looking in their direction.

He shook his head, “No, we have to leave this place immediately and go to the next city to buy salt.”

“Alright, I’ll go and inform Su Qing.”

Aunt Qiu recalled the scene of being chased by the bandits yesterday and felt a lingering fear. There would be no problem with a meal without salt. It was better to hurry on with their journey!

When Aunt Qiu came back, she told Su Qing what Ji Shui Sheng had said. Su Qing’s intuition told her that Ji Shui Sheng was in a hurry to leave because of the bandits.

Thinking of the bloody smell she had smelled last night, Su Qing looked at Ji Shui Sheng’s clothes. There were a few obvious bloodstains on the front of his clothes, and it looked like it had sprayed on his clothes.

Su Qing had killed many people, so she knew what the blood represented. Her eyes flickered, but she didn’t say anything. She went back to pack her things.

She had her eyes on the horse skin from yesterday, as she wanted to make a pair of boots made of horse skin. The soles of the grass shoes would be worn out after two days. The newly woven grass shoes were a little hard to wear out, but the horse skin boots were soft and durable.

In order to let the horse skin dry faster, she spread it on the two handles of the cart. After being in the sun for two days, the blood on the horse skin would dry, and the skin would be soft enough to be used to make boots.

She was the one who killed the horse, so the leather should belong to her. It would not be a problem to make a few pairs of boots with such a large piece of horse leather. She planned to make a pair of leather boots for Xiao Ying, make two pairs for herself, and use the remaining pieces of leather to make small leather shoes for the children. It would also make the children suffer less.

Ji Shui Sheng saw Su Qing’s actions and didn’t object. He folded Su Qing’s bedding and placed it on the cart. He covered it with a straw curtain and straw raincoat so that even if it rained, the bedding would be guaranteed to be dry.

“Let’s hurry up and leave Guo City as soon as possible,” Ji Shui Sheng shouted to the villagers as he packed up.

The quiet morning had turned into chaos. The women all took the time to pack up their things. They also had to look after their children, for fear that they would get lost and the camp would be in chaos.

Fortunately, this was not the first day they had fled. It was chaotic, but they were not slow at all. Very soon, everyone was ready to set off.

Su Qing quickened her pace and came to Ji Shui Sheng’s side. She spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “There’s blood on your clothes. ”

Ji Shui Sheng lowered his head and looked at the bloodstains on his front lapel. He frowned slightly. When he killed those bandits, his clothes were stained with blood and could not be washed, so he threw them away.

Now that he was only left with this set of clothes, was he going to throw it away too?

“I’ll help you get rid of the blood,” Su Qing whispered again.

Ji Shui Sheng glanced at her and saw Su Qing’s serious expression. He nodded and took off his clothes to pass to Su Qing. He was only wearing a short cut robe, revealing muscular arms that were like a sturdy mountain.

This scene was seen by Qiu Yue. Her eyes narrowed and she clutched her clothes tightly as she looked at them, her eyes filled with panic. Why did brother Shui Sheng give his clothes to that woman, who had been divorced?

Su Qing took the clothes and walked towards the bamboo forest. When she entered the mountain the day before yesterday, she had picked up a lot of soap horns and had already asked little seven to make them into soap. Now, they were just in time to come in handy.

Ji Xiaoying also saw that her brother had passed the clothes to Su Qing.

She quickly came over and said, “Sister, let me wash it!”

“No need,” Su Qing tightened her grip on his clothes, not letting Ji Xiao Ying see the blood.

...

This was to protect her. It was better for an innocent girl to not know the dangers of the world.

Ji Xiaoying blinked and looked suspiciously at her brother, then at Su Qing. He had never allowed sister Qiu Yue to wash his clothes, so how could he let sister Su Qing do it for him?

Su Qing walked into the bamboo forest. There was still water in a bamboo tube in the interspace. She took it out and wet the front of Ji shuisheng’s clothes, then used the soap to wash them.

Fortunately, there was not much blood. After she washed it hard, it was no longer visible. She poured some water and washed it again. She shook it and checked it against the sun. After making sure that there was no blood, she took the clothes and caught up with the escape team.

When Ji Shui Sheng saw her returning with wet clothes, he immediately stretched out his hand to ask for them.

“Thank you. Give it to me. It’ll dry quickly under the sun.”

It was cool to wear wet clothes. Ji Shui Sheng’s heart was on fire, burning his five viscera and six bowels, so it was nice to lower his temperature. When he smelled the soap on his clothes, Ji Shui Sheng looked at Su Qing in surprise.

What did she use to wash her clothes?
