100 Chapter 100. Keeping Your Word

“Elder Qin might have already left Jin City. I promised to cure him, so I can’t break my promise,”

Su Qing said firmly. Besides accepting old Qin’s consultation fee, she still had to go to Su Province to investigate her background. She had promised her original body that she would fulfill it no matter how difficult.

However, she had something to do and had to go to Su Province so the villagers of Peach Blossom Cove did not have to follow her. Therefore, she looked at Ji Shuisheng and said,

“You guys don’t have to go to Su Province but head straight for Jingshi Dao.”

“We’ll also pass by Su Province if we take the Jingshi path. Since you must go, I’ll go with you.”

How could Ji Shuisheng abandon Su Qing? Wouldn’t let her go to Su Province alone be too disloyal? She had helped Peach Blossom Cove and him so much and saved many people.

“Alright,” she said.

Since Ji Shuisheng said it was on the way, Su Qing didn’t say anything more. Along the way, blisters grew under her feet, and she found a place to sit down and apply the medicine.

Ji Xiaoying’s feet were also full of blisters. Walking wasn’t easy, but she gritted her teeth and persevered.

She knew that those seriously injured would have to leave and walk if she took the carriage. The kind girl would rather suffer herself.

“Xiaoying, come over and apply some medicine.”

Su Qing pulled Ji Xiaoying towards the woods at the side. The girls from Peach Blossom followed them when they saw them entering the woods, taking the time to go to the toilet. They were only not afraid when they were beside Su Qing.

Su Qing gave Xiaoying a piece of ointment.

“Xiaoying, take off your shoes and apply the medicine.”

“Alright,” she said.

Ji Xiaoying was relatively confident in her sister’s medical skills and obediently removed her socks. When she removed her stockings, her flesh and blood stuck together. The pain caused her to break out in cold sweat, and her beautiful big eyes were filled with tears.

Su Qing’s heart ached at sight.

“Xiaoying, you can get in the car later!”

“I’m fine,” she said.

Ji Xiaoying shook her head and applied the medicine to her fair feet. The ointment her sister gave her was green, and it felt cool and refreshing when applied to the wound, as if the pain had disappeared.

“Sister, it doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Ji Xiaoying called out to Su Qing happily. Su Qing nodded with a smile and lowered his head to apply the medicine.

When the ladies heard Ji Xiaoying’s words, they looked at her enviously. The soles of their feet were also blistered, and every step they took was heart-wrenching. It was as if they were being tortured.

Su Qing glanced at them indifferently. There was no one she disliked, and they all listened to her. Giving medicine to people she didn’t dislike was no big deal. Besides, it could also improve her medical skills.

After she finished applying the ointment, she left it on the ground. The other girls did not dare to move. Li Shuang’er was the one who was brave enough to come over and ask Su Qing,

“Sister Su Qing, can we use your medicine?”

Li Shuang’er looked at Su Qing uneasily. She was afraid that Su Qing would scold her for being insatiable.

Su Qing nodded in agreement. Li Shuang’er acted as if she had found a treasure. She quickly took medicine and applied it to her sisters’ wounds.

Su Qing looked at Li Shuang’er’s way of doing things. This girl was not bad. She was kind and selfless, just like Xiaoying.

The soles of Qiu Yue’s feet were rotten. She didn’t dare to go near her. She wanted to go to the toilet, but the scene of Su Qing killing the other day was still fresh in her mind.

She could only drag her mother and a few other women into the forest to use the toilet. The moment she entered the forest, she saw Su Qing. She was so scared that she quickly hid behind her mother.

Aunt Qiu could only protect her daughter and look at Su Qing awkwardly. What was going on? Everyone in the village had received Su Qing’s grace, but her family had received even more. Su Qing had saved the old man and his son, but her daughter had always been against her and had caused such a mess.

Su Qing ignored Qiu Yue, treating her like a fly that wouldn’t bother her if he didn’t see her. She left with a cold face and didn’t even greet aunt Qiu.

Aunt Qiu sighed and pulled her daughter into the forest.

“Mother, sister Su Qing’s ointment is excellent. My feet won’t hurt after I apply it.”

Li Shuang’er ran over to her mother, happy when she saw her. She showed her mother the ointment in her hand.

“Mother, you should also apply some.”

The girls were very frugal when they used it. There was still a tiny half of the ointment left. Li Shuang’er felt terrible for her mother, so she wanted to apply it.

“Su Qing’s medicine is very effective. We’ve used her ointment. When you’re free, pick some herbs for her. Don’t use them for nothing.”

Auntie Li took the ointment and told her daughter. After using Su Qing’s ointment, she wanted to return the herbs. She didn’t like to take advantage of others.

“We know. We’ll pick some herbs for sister Su Qing during our break.”

Li Shuang’er nodded with a smile. The girls agreed to pick herbs and give them to sister Su Qing when they reached a safe place.

“You guys go out first; mother still needs to go to the toilet!”

Auntie Li smiled and let her daughter go out. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to be stared at by a group of girls while she went to the toilet.

Qiu Yue’s eyes were fixed on the ointment. She hoped that Li Shuang’er and the others would leave quickly so that she could ask aunt Li for the ointment.

“Mother, I’ll leave some for you. I have to return the rest to sister Su Qing.”

Li Shuang’er picked up a Pearl-sized piece of the ointment and placed it in her mother’s palm. She wanted to take the rest with her. Qiu Yue was so anxious that she clenched her clothes. She wanted to ask Li Shuang’er for some ointment, but her proud personality would not allow her to do such a thing.

“Shuang’er, Juan Zi’s feet are also blistered. Give her some ointment!”

Aunt Qiu knew that the soles of Qiu Yue’s feet were rotten, and she knew that Su Qing would never give her the ointment. So, she asked Li Shuang’er for it in her name.

“Aiya, this? Alright!”

Li Shuang’er was in a difficult position, but since aunt Qiu had already opened her mouth, she had to give her some of the ointment.

After the girls left, Qiu Yue looked at her mother. Aunt Qiu sighed. The soles of her feet were also worn out, but when she saw her daughter’s forehead breaking out in cold sweat from the pain, she couldn’t bear it and gave the ointment to Qiu Yue.

“Go over there and apply the ointment yourself!”

Qiu Yue was pleased to get the ointment. She walked over to the tree and sat down to take off her shoes and socks. When she took off her stockings, she trembled in pain. She cried out loud when she saw the bottom of her socks covered in blood. When would she end this?

Qiu Yue was in so much pain that she hissed and laughed. When she finally applied the ointment to the soles of her feet, she was surprised to find that after using it, she felt cold, and the burning pain had disappeared.

She didn’t want to admit it, but she had to admit that Su Qing’s medicine was divine.

The socks were stained with blood and gave off a foul smell. Qiu Yue felt uncomfortable wearing them and wanted to find a place to wash the socks. She saw that someone had fetched water in the west, so she took the socks and went west.

Aunt Qiu couldn’t find Qiu Yue when she returned from the toilet. Qiu Yongkang heard her and ran into the woods,

“Mother, what’s wrong?”

“Your sister is missing.”

Aunt Qiu’s heart was burning with anxiety. She had seen with her own eyes that other people’s girls had been taken away. All kinds of people were running away, and Qiu Yue was so beautiful that it was easy for her to be remembered.

“Mother, don’t worry. I’ll go and look.”

Qiu Yongkang tried to comfort her. He was also very anxious. There were so many victims everywhere; where could he find his little sister? The team was about to leave; why did she have to disappear now?
