After Her Divorce, She Escaped With A Strong Man To Farm

41 This Mountain Doesn’t Have Any Spiritual Energy

Su Qing landed a kick on the face of the man who was trying to knock her out with the drug. The man fainted before he could even groan.

When Su Qing landed, she caught the dagger that was falling from the air. She leaped up like a cheetah and cut the main artery on Shou Hou’s neck with the dagger in her hand. Shou Hou clutched his neck and looked at Su Qing in disbelief before falling to the ground.

Su Qing did not stop there. She charged at the other two men with her short knife. The short knife in her hand drew a cold light and pierced into their chests. When she pulled it out, they spat out a mouthful of stinky blood.

The captured girls were all scared out of their wits, and the timid one fainted. Su Qing cut off the ropes that bound them and swept her gaze around coldly with a bloodied dagger.

“Go back. You’re not allowed to say anything. If you reveal a single word, I’ll take your lives.”

Her low and cold voice was like a gust of cold wind. The girls were so scared that they could only nod and tremble. Su Qing did not look at them again.

She turned around and returned the short knife to Ji Shui Sheng. This knife was truly a treasure. It killed without leaving a trace. It was still cold and shiny, and not a trace of blood could be seen.

Ji Shui Sheng had saved her once again.

Su Qing looked into his eyes and said, “Thank you.”

Ji Shui Sheng put away his short knife and said without changing his expression, “Let’s go.”

In fact, he was shocked. Su Qing’s killing technique was too fast. She killed four people in an instant. She didn’t even need a second strike.

In fact, she didn’t even need to look to be able to stab a vital point. Her knife skills were at the point of perfection.

Ji Shui Sheng didn’t ask and Su Qing wouldn’t say either.

She followed behind Ji Shui Sheng and suddenly said, “There’s a water source five miles South.”

“How did you know?”

Ji Shui Sheng looked at her in surprise. Could it be that Su Qing had been here? Or did she live nearby? How else would she know that there was a water source nearby?

Su Qing’s expression did not change as she walked past Ji Shui Sheng’s puzzled gaze and threw a sentence at him lightly, ”

“I heard it from those few people.”

Ji Shui Sheng turned back to look at the four dead bodies on the ground. The dead could not testify!

The two of them returned to their base. Ji Xiao Ying saw Su Qing and ran over, smiling happily.

“Sister, you’re back.”

“Yes,” Su Qing grunted in agreement, guessing that Ji Xiao Ying was worried and had asked her brother to visit her.

“I’m not eating breakfast. Let’s go,” Ji Shui Sheng shouted to the team. Almost every family in the village had girls. They were frightened by what happened in the forest last night and today. They quickly packed their things and left this dangerous place.

The families who had lost their girls were still crying at the top of their lungs, and among them were High Scholar Ding’s family members. It seemed that High Scholar Ding’s daughter and two delicate concubines had been lost last night, along with the belongings in the carriage. High Scholar Ding had also been injured, and his head was covered in blood as he lay on the ground. It was unknown if he was still alive or dead.

No one would sympathize with this kind of person. They would only think that he deserved it.

As for the other rich families, because of the tight security and the weapons, they did not suffer much losses. They were so scared that they hurried on their way as soon as the sun rose.

With the rich people gone, the horses and things in Peach Blossom Cove became the fatty meat in everyone’s eyes. It was only because they were afraid of Ji Shui Sheng and Li Daniu that they didn’t dare to come over and snatch them. However, the more people there were, the more courageous they would be. If there was a leader, there would be a response. Temporary safety didn’t mean that it would always be safe.

When Ji Shui Sheng saw that everyone had packed up, he shouted for them to hurry.

It was the same as before. The men held weapons and protected the elderly, women, children, and property inside.

After they left, some of the unwilling disaster victims followed behind them. At first, there were only a few people following them, but as time passed, more and more people followed. Their eyes were fixed on the food and items in the carriage, as well as the fat horses.

“Kill anyone who approaches.”

Ji Shui Sheng asked Qiu Yongkang to lead the people to the front, while he held a fork and went to the back. He stared at the disaster victims and shouted.

His tower-like body, fierce-looking beard, and murderous aura scared the restless disaster victims so much that they didn’t dare to move forward. They felt that he could really kill them if they got close to him.

Ji Shui Sheng still remembered Su Qing’s words, so he led the people of Peach Blossom Cove towards the South. To go to Jincheng, they had to go west, but because the direction was wrong, fewer and fewer refugees followed.

After walking for five miles, they heard the sound of running water. Although the water flowing down from the mountain stream was not very turbulent, it had gathered into a small stream, which was enough to make the people of Peach Blossom Cove happy.

Everyone hurriedly took out everything that could be used to hold water and fetched water from the stream. The hungry and thirsty villagers lay in the stream to drink.

In an instant, everyone recovered from their withered state and became full of vitality. Ji Shui Sheng untied the few horses and pulled them to the stream to drink water. Then, he tied them under the tree and let them eat the grass by themselves.

“While there’s water, let’s cook here!” Old Master Qiu ordered his daughter-in-law. They did not know how long they would have to walk, so they had to steam some dry food.

“Let’s go pick some wild grass and eat it together,” Aunt Qiu agreed and called a few women to pick wild vegetables with her. There was not much food left, so they had to save it.

There were very few people here, and there were a lot of wild vegetables on the left and right of the stream, so they didn’t have to go deep into the mountains.

Su Qing didn’t go with them to cook this time. She had to find a place with no one to take a bath.

This small stream was definitely not going to work, so they had to go up the mountain to look for it. Su Qing raised her head to look up the mountain. Ji Shui Sheng noticed that she kept looking up the mountain, so he walked over and asked, “Are you thinking of picking Lingzhi?”

“There’s no Lingzhi on this mountain.”

Su Qing’s firm answer stunned Ji Shui Sheng. How did she know that there were no lingzhi mushrooms on this mountain?

“Thousand-year-old Lingzhi only grows on mountains with spiritual energy. This mountain has no spiritual energy,” Su Qing explained indifferently.

Ji Shui Sheng looked at the mountain. Why couldn’t he see if there was any spiritual energy?

Was there no spiritual energy in the lush mountains? Did Su Qing read Feng Shui? How did she know all this?

Su Qing didn’t want to talk to him anymore and started walking up the mountain. Ji Xiao Ying and Li Shuang ‘er, the two sisters who admired Su Qing, ran over when they saw her walking up the mountain.

“Sister, we’ll go with you.”

Su Qing looked at the two of them. Seeing how excited Ji Xiao Ying was, she did not ask them to follow suit. Instead, she said, “I’ve brought a change of clothes.”

Ji Xiao Ying immediately understood. She looked at Su Qing happily, afraid that Su Qing would not wait for her.

“I’ll be right back.”

Ji Xiao Ying ran back to the car. She still had a change of clothes. She looked at the clothes that Su Qing had sewn awkwardly and decided to change for the time being. She would wash the clothes she had taken off before changing into them.

Ji Xiao Ying took out a loofah parasol from her bag. She had insisted on bringing this loofah parasol because the villagers used it to wash their baths.

...

Li Shuang ‘er also ran back to get her clothes. Their actions caught Qiu Yue’s attention. She went to Li Shuang’ er and asked, “What are you guys doing?”

“I’m taking a bath.”

Li Shuang ‘er was honest, so she answered her casually. Then, she ran to Su Qing with the clothes in her hands.

Qiu Yue also wanted to take a bath. She could not stand the stench.
