98 Chapter 98. Saving Someone

Su Qing took the treasured saber and gave every one of the ironclad soldiers a final blow. She cut their throats without leaving one alive as if she were killing chickens.

Qiu Yue ran over to see Ji Shuisheng and her brother. When she saw Su Qing killing without blinking, she was so scared that she fell to the ground and trembled. She was afraid of Su Qing to the bone.

After Su Qing finished dealing with the iron armored Army, she ordered people to pour water on Ji Shuisheng and the others to wake them up. She then went to check on the injured.

“Master, you can’t die. If you die, how am I going to live?”

!!

Auntie Li threw herself onto her husband and wailed. Su Qing pulled her aside to check on Li Daniu’s father. His chest had been pierced, and he was on the verge of death.

“Xiao Qi, can you save him?”

Su Qing asked.

“It’s almost the same.”

Xiao Qi said reluctantly, mainly because father Li’s injury was too severe. Xiao Qi first made a blood-staunching pill for Su Qing to feed father Li, then made a repair pill without stopping.

Fortunately, Ji Ren Tang had all kinds of medicine. Su Qing still had two Lingzhi left after using it, an essential medicine to make the restoration pill.

Su Qing went over, picked up father Li’s head, and stuffed the blood-clotting pill into his mouth. Aunt Li knelt in front of Su Qing and kowtowed,

“Miss Su, please save his life. If you can save Daniu’s father, my whole family is willing to work like cows and horses for you.”

“Don’t waste time here.”

Su Qing furrowed her brows; her voice was cold and impatient. Auntie Li was so frightened that she quickly stopped crying. She knelt on the ground and silently cried as she looked at her husband, whose face was ashen and breathing weakly.

Seeing no more blood coming out of father Li’s chest, Auntie Li wiped her tears with all her might, and hope appeared in her eyes.

Xiao Qi made a restoration pill, and Su Qing fed it to father Li. His complexion had improved, and his pulse was more powerful, so Xiao Qi made a red medicine to treat external injuries. Su Qing sprinkled the mixture on father Li’s wound, tore off his clothes, and bandaged it.

Su Qing had just finished dealing with father Li’s injury when the villagers’ water woke up Ji Shuisheng and the rest. Seeing that Su Qing had already cut the throats of the armored soldiers, Ji Shuisheng looked at her gratefully.

Su Qing had once again saved the lives of everyone at Peach Blossom Cove. If any of these armored soldiers managed to escape and report back, the villagers of Peach Blossom Cove would only be left with death.

The Wan family’s iron armored Army was quite difficult to deal with. How could the old, weak, sick, and disabled of Peach Blossom Cove outrun the well-trained soldiers? They could even catch people when they ran far away.

“You guys take your tools and follow me. You guys carry the bodies and warhorses into the forest and clean up the blood.”

Su Qing then went to deal with the other people’s wounds. Ji shuisheng did not dare to delay and brought people to the depths of the forest to find a place where few pedestrians could dig and bury the bodies. The armored Army’s bodies, warhorses, and weapons could not be left behind. They would be traced back to them as long as there were traces.

Ji Shuisheng led people to dig a hole to bury the body. Su Qing threw a bag of red medicine to Li Daniu and let him bandage it himself. This kid only suffered minor injuries, but he looked at Su Qing as if he was looking at a god.

The armored soldiers had tied up Qiu Yongkang, and his father had cut the rope for him with a knife.

Qiu Yongkang moved his numb arms. These soldiers didn’t treat him as a human but as an animal.

“Clean up the blood on the ground.”

As soon as Qiu Yongkang regained his freedom, he got busy. He led the women to dig out the blood-stained ground and bury it in the pit by the side of the road. They also picked up some dead branches and leaves to cover them.

The villagers were all working mechanically. The scene just now scared everyone out of their wits, and they still couldn’t believe they had escaped death.

Ji Xiaoying let Madam Li look after the children while she jumped off the carriage to work with them. The entire village busied themselves for more than two hours before the road was restored to its original state.

During this period, Su Qing dealt with the injured Peach Blossom villagers. She could not do anything about the dead, as even the gods could not save the dead.

The women’s cries for the dead men were so miserable that they saddened people. For the first time, the villagers of Peach Blossom felt the horror of death.

Su Qing only watched on coldly as these people parted ways. After she had dealt with the villager’s injuries, she went deep into the forest to see how Ji Shuisheng and the rest were burying the corpses. She also had to ensure all traces of the aftermath could be eliminated.

When Su Qing arrived, Ji Shuisheng and the rest had dug the pit. It was more than two meters deep and four meters wide, enough to bury the armored soldiers and horses.

Ji Shuisheng and the others began to carry the corpses and throw them into the pit. They threw the armors and weapons down and threw the warhorses on their bodies. These people were worse than animals and were only fit to be animals.

Su Qing ordered the other villagers to dig a pit to bury the dead villagers. She took out a bottle of body-dissolving powder and sprinkled it into the hole in front of Ji Shuisheng. The air was filled with a pungent smell, and the corpses slowly dissolved into a pool of water. White foam and smoke could be seen coming out of the stones with the naked eye.

Ji Shuisheng was shocked. Where did Su Qing get these things? Could she save people from the dead and kill people without them noticing? Who was she?

“Bury it!”

Su Qing ordered Ji Shuisheng when he saw the corpse almost melted away. Ji Shuisheng’s mouth twitched. He would not have spent so much digging a bottomless pit if he had known that Su Qing had such a powerful thing. A shallow pit would have been enough.

It took a lot of time to fill up the soil. Su Qing wasted the horse meat. The muscles of the warhorses were strong, and they were delicious, even if they were roasted or stewed.

However, she knew that this was a serious matter. It was a pity that the horse meat and skin were wasted.

When Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng returned, they could hear the woman’s sorrowful cries from afar. Ji Shuisheng blamed himself deeply.

“If only I didn’t bring them out, they wouldn’t have encountered such a thing at Peach Blossom Cove.”

“If you didn’t bring them out, they’d already be dead in the earth dragon’s flip.”

Su Qing looked at him expressionlessly. Her words were still cold and inhumane, but Ji Shuisheng felt less remorse after hearing that.

The dead were crying their hearts out, while the living had to continue their journey. Su Qing gave her carriage to the severely injured while she brought Xiaoying, the children, and the group.

The villagers were both afraid and respectful of Su Qing. They feared her ruthlessness but respected her for saving the entire village.

Su Qing didn’t care what others thought of her. Her [ medicine rescue ] skill had reached Level 4, and her [ god of war ] ability had reached level 24. She was one step closer to level 100.

Her merit points had also increased by two bars, and she was six bars away from leveling up.

Su Qing checked on the progress of the upgrade. As usual, she weaved things while walking. Not much progress was left in weaving straw sandals, so she weaved willow baskets. One basket could be sold for one tael of silver, and old Qin had bought ten at once.

Elder Qin, who Su Qing was missing, sat in the inner hall of the government office. His right eyelid was twitching wildly, and he was feeling uneasy.

“Reporting, old Qin, something bad has happened.”
