“Su Qing, what are you doing?”

Ji Shuisheng strode into the mortuary and asked Su Qing in shock. He followed Qiu Yongkang to his house and didn’t see him come out, so he ordered two soldiers to wait outside. He came back to look for Su Qing.

The ancients said that one should have an intact corpse when they died. Su Qing had cut open the stomachs of these corpses. This was considered disrespect to the dead.

“I want to know what they ate before they died. The soldiers selected to watch the weapons were well-trained and would never casually eat strangers’ food. It must have been something given to them by someone they were familiar with, so they were not prepared.”

Su Qing continued to work as she explained to Ji Shuisheng. Ji Shuisheng watched as Su Qing cut open the stomach of a corpse, revealing all the food inside. This scene was too horrifying.

Suddenly, Ji Shuisheng realized something was wrong. He pointed at the searchlight and asked Su Qing.

“Qingl’er, where did you get this?”

“My master’s sect can borrow things from afar. I borrowed it.”

Su Qing rummaged in his stomach without looking up. Her answer was very casual, but this conversational tone made people not suspect her.

Ji Shuisheng felt that he was ignorant. He had never heard of such a cultivation technique. Wasn’t this too amazing?

He suddenly thought of the box containing the commander’s seal and said to

Su Qing excitedly,

“How about it? Can you try to borrow a key to open the box?”

Su Qing was seriously comparing the food in the stomachs of the four corpses. When she heard Ji Shuisheng’s words, she looked up at him and gave him three words.

“What a fantasy.”

H ii

Ji Shuisheng didn’t feel embarrassed after being reprimanded. He asked Su Qing in confusion.

“Aren’t you able to borrow things remotely?”

“We’re the Miracle Doctor’s sect and can only borrow tools and items related to medical skills. Otherwise, I would have helped you borrow the jade seal long ago. Why is it so difficult to operate it?”

Su Qing placed her hands on the morgue table and looked at Ji Shuisheng seriously as she made up a lie.

“I see.”

Ji Shuisheng nodded. Although he didn’t understand, what Qing’er said should be true. With her personality, she wouldn’t lie.

“Didn’t you follow Qiu Yongkang?”

Su Qing continued to work, but she did not stop talking. Ji Shuisheng was sighing at Su Qing’s courage. Four corpses were lying there with their intestines cut open. As a man, he felt nauseous looking at those internal organs. How could Su Qing still chat with him without changing her expression?

“… Ah, yes, 1 followed him back to the Qiu family. When I saw he didn’t come out, 1 sent two soldiers to watch over his house. 1 came back to accompany you…”

Ji Shuisheng had wanted to accompany her to rest and investigate tomorrow after she had slept enough, but now that the corpse had been cut open, what was there to rest for?

“The food in their stomachs is the same. The last thing they ate should be mutton and brown rice. Look, they haven’t even digested it yet. There’s still some ice…”

Su Qing pinched the ice shards in their stomachs and placed them in front of his nose to sniff. Ji Shuisheng covered his stomach and tried to suppress the feeling of nausea. Su Qing could remain calm in front of a corpse, but how could he be worthy of being her man if he vomited?

What if his wife was too powerful? Then he will work hard to catch up!

“Someone sent them ginger water. The poison was mixed in the ginger water.”

Su Qing’s eyes turned cold as she found the real reason for the death of the four soldiers.

“Ginger water? It must be someone they were familiar with. They were familiar with this person, and he knew where the weapon was stored.”

Ji Shuisheng’s expression darkened. This time, he was suspicious of Qiu Yongkang even without Su Qing’s reminder.

Su Qing liked to cook with all kinds of seasonings. When she moved to Jingshi Dao, she did not take all the seasonings with her. She left half of them. The remaining seasonings included dried ginger.

Otherwise, there was no ginger seller in Mo City. This person could get the dried ginger and knew where the killing machine was stored. The soldiers were also very familiar with him. Even if Ji Shuisheng did not want to think about Qiu Yongkang, he could not help it.

He agreed with all three points.

“Don’t alert the enemy first. Tomorrow, I’ll ask if anyone has touched the dried ginger in the kitchen. 1 would also ask Auntie Qiu if Qiu Yongkang had made the ginger water at home.”

Su Qing could tell that he was suspicious and was afraid that he would alert the enemy on impulse, so she instructed him.

Ji Shuisheng took a few deep breaths to suppress the pain in his heart. He did not want to believe that Qiu Yongkang would betray him.

“Alright.” Ji Shuisheng’s voice was very heavy. Su Qing glanced at him.

“To achieve great things, you must practice a heart of stone.”

Ji Shuisheng smiled bitterly and nodded.

“Qing’er is right.”

Even though she said that she still felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

Before his adoptive father died, he had held his hand with Yongkang. He said that he hoped that they would always be good brothers!

He and Yongkang had sworn before his foster father that they would always be good brothers and never betray each other.

Would Yongkang betray him?

Su Qing placed the stomach back into the corpse’s abdominal cavity and began to suture it with a large needle. She did it meticulously. This was to protect the soldier’s last dignity.

“You can go in peace. I will find the murderer and avenge you.”

Su Qing tidied up the corpses and gave them her word. The wind blew against the spirit flag, making it sound like the dead soldiers were answering her.

It was almost dawn when Su Qing packed up her things and muttered in front of Ji Shuisheng,”

“It’s easy to borrow and return. Take it back!”

Ji Shuisheng watched as Su Qing threw those things into the air, and they disappeared into thin air.

“… Your Godly Doctor Sect is amazing.”

Ji Shuisheng was dumbfounded. Could there be a divine doctor sect?

“Let’s go back to sleep.”

Su Qing stretched and followed Ji Shuisheng home to sleep.

Their home was Zhong Yong and Godmother’s home. Zhong Yong had gone to the coal mine to dig for coal, and Xiaoying was staying at her grandfather’s place. Only the two of them had returned to this home.

They braved the wind and snow to return to their godmother’s house. There was no warmth in the cold pot or stove when they pushed open the door. Su Qing’s heart felt as heavy as lead.

“I’ll light the stove.”

Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing were both very sad. They were reminded of her when they saw things. They were in a better mood if they didn’t return, but when they returned to their godparents’ house, they felt very sad when they saw the empty house.

There was a massive pile of coal in the courtyard. Ji Shuisheng brought a bucket back, and Su Qing had already lit the stove with a lighter.

“There’s firewood in the stove?”

Ji Shuisheng threw down the wood in his hand and asked Su Qing.

“Yeah, maybe Zhong Yong put the firewood into the furnace when he left?”

Su Qing nodded. She thought that Zhong Yong was afraid it would be too cold at home, so he had installed the stove in advance and would light it up when he returned.

“Boil some water and wash up.”

Ji Shuisheng nodded. He could only think so. Otherwise, who else would help Zhong Yong install the furnace?

After Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng heated the house, they went to the east room where Godmother lived to rest. Although they slept on the same brick bed, neither had any romantic thoughts and slept separately.

Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng seemed to have fallen asleep when someone woke them up!
