84 Chapter 84. Acknowledged a Brother

Ji Shuisheng calmly accepted the challenge. He used Su Qing’s previous move, jumping up and smashing the back of the blockhead’s neck under his ribs.

The poor blockhead was knocked unconscious again!

“Shuisheng is great! ”

“Brother Shuisheng, you’re amazing! ”

The villagers of Peach Blossom Cove watched them fight in fear. When they saw Ji Shuisheng win, everyone applauded him, and everyone’s eyes were filled with pride.

The way Qiu Yue looked at Ji Shuisheng was overflowing with love. This kind of man was real, and only he was worthy of her.

Su Qing returned to the temple after the show. When she entered, she saw that Xiaoying had just woken up.

“Sister, what’s wrong?”

Ji Xiaoying, who had just woken up, was still in a daze. She had forgotten to change the way she addressed Su Qing. She rubbed her eyes and asked Su Qing, ” I was just dreaming about being besieged by the city guards in Jin City.” She woke up to find that it was a dream.

“It’s okay. Someone wanted to snatch the food, but your big brother beat him.

Su Qing’s calm voice consoled Ji Xiaoying, but she was still worried and got up and looked.

Su Qing accompanied her and saw that the blockhead had already woken up. He was kneeling on the ground with his hands cupped in front of his chest and calling Ji Shuisheng his big brother,

“Big brother, please accept me.”

“What’s your name?”

Ji Shuisheng looked at the blockhead who was willing to accept his loss and asked. The blockhead replied in a muffled voice,

“I’m Zhong Yong.”

“Zhong Yong?”

Ji Shuisheng’s eyes flickered when he heard the blockhead call Zhong Yong. He muttered his name, and his Adam’s apple rolled a few times before he could suppress the excitement in his heart.

“Yes, my name is Zhong Yong. I also have a mother who lives in the village on the other side of the mountain. Big brother, as long as you let me bring my mother along, I’ll go with you even if it means going through a mountain of knives or a sea of flames.”

Zhong Yong looked at Ji Shuisheng. He was very nervous that Ji Shuisheng would disagree with him bringing his mother with him.

Loyal ministers and filial children were respected by everyone and could not be separated from their children. Ji Shuisheng nodded his head and agreed,

“Alright,” he said.

“Thank you, big brother.”

Zhong Yong did not expect Ji Shuisheng to agree and was moved to tears. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Ji Shuisheng before he got up and said to Ji Shuisheng,

“Big brother, I’ll go back and pack. I’ll wait for you at the intersection tomorrow morning.”

“Mm, go!”

Ji Shuisheng nodded. Qiu Yongkang looked at Ji Shuisheng with a face full of worry. Would the people who came to rob the food be okay? Shuisheng also wanted to bring him and his mother along. This meant that he had two more mouths to feed. This silly big guy could eat a lot from the looks of it. Couldn’t one person eat the amount of food that three people had?

However, Shuisheng had already agreed, so he did not raise any doubts in person. He waited for Zhong Yong to leave before he came over and said to Ji Shuisheng,

“Shuisheng, what kind of good person would come to steal our food? Don’t let the wolf into the house!”

“I asked him just now. He was deceived by someone and said that we are corrupt officials. Robbing corrupt officials is to get rid of evil for the people.”

Ji Shuisheng trusted Zhong Yong very much and spoke up for him.

“Then we have to be careful.”

Qiu Yongkang was still worried, but he knew that Shuisheng had decided to bring Zhong Yong and his mother along.

The villagers of Peach Blossom Cove didn’t want to have two more people, but they knew that their food and drinks were all earned by Shuisheng, so no one had the right to point fingers.

This big guy was strong and fierce and could be used to guard houses. Besides, with Su Qing as an example, he had considered her a burden. How much help had she given to Peach Blossom Cove?

After the storm passed, it was already the second half of the night. Seventh master Jiang and Li Daniu replaced Ji Shuisheng and Qiu Yongkang. Ji Shuisheng returned to the temple, and Su Qing had already gone to sleep with Xiaoying.

He couldn’t sleep with them, so he went to sleep behind the stone head. He heard the sound of clothes rustling and opened his eyes abruptly. It seemed that he had just fallen asleep when the sky brightened.

He saw Su Qing’s slender back when he walked out from behind the stone statue. She tied her hair up as she walked out of the temple. Xiaoying had woken up and was running after her.

Ji Shuisheng was not sleepy at all. He followed her out of the dojo and saw that Su Qing was already washing the rice and preparing to make porridge. Her busy figure made Ji Shuisheng feel warm. This was the life he wanted to live.

He went out to hunt and farm, and when he returned home, he had a virtuous wife who would cook for him every day. He also had a pair of children and lived his life working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

However, it was destined that such days did not belong to him. What belonged to him was a storm of blood!

Ji Shuisheng’s eyes dimmed. It seemed like he had to find time to let Su Qing take Xiaoying away. She was very good to Xiaoying and could protect her sister.

After Su Qing washed the rice, she felt a burning gaze on her. Looking up, she saw Ji Shuisheng, tall, straight back. She looked away and continued to cook.

Last night, she made rabbit soup, and her cooking progress increased by two ranks, but there were still three more to go before she reached the next level. It would be best if she could make a new dish, and then she might be able to level up all three ranks at once.

After breakfast, Ji Shuisheng asked everyone to check their belongings and continue their journey if they had not left anything behind.

Su Qing was just short of the little tiger’s eyes, and she was done. Ji Xiaoying sat in the car, her chin propped on her hand as she watched Su Qing’s embroidery without blinking. Her eyes were filled with envy, and she wanted to try it too.

“You want to try? There’s so much cloth here; you can practice however you like.”

Su Qing could see the desire in the little girl’s eyes. She took two pieces of cloth the size of a palm from the cloth bag and handed them to Xiaoying.

“Practice!”

“There’s no embroidery shed, needle, or thread.”

“I’ll give you the needle and thread after I’m done.”

Su Qing’s needle quickly threaded the cloths. One eye was already done, and more was needed to complete the embroidery. The children stared at the new clothes in Su Qing’s hands. They were so beautiful. Who did sister make them for?

“Alright,” she said.

” Yes,” Ji Xiaoying agreed happily. She held the cloth in her hand, but her eyes were focused on Su Qing’s embroidery. She silently learned the needle technique, wondering what to do later.

After a quarter of an hour, Su Qing finished embroidering the little tiger and handed the embroidery frame, thread, and needle to Xiaoying. “Continue practicing.”

“Thank you, sister.”

Ji Xiaoying was so happy that she forgot to call her ‘brother.’ Su Qing reminded her again, and Ji Xiaoying smacked her head.

“This memory deserves a beating.”

Su Qing smiled and pulled her hand down. She teased Xiaoying,

“The more we fight, the more stupid we become.”

Ji Xiaoying stuck out her tongue and laughed in embarrassment. Su Qing stopped teasing her and picked up the cloth with the little tiger embroidered.

“Little Tiger, come here and try.”

“For me?”

The Little Tiger asked Su Qing in disbelief. The child’s eyes were shining because he was too excited.

“Yes, I’ll reward you for being obedient.”

Su Qing nodded and handed the cloth to Little Tiger. She wouldn’t help the Little Tiger change his clothes. Even a child had to learn to be independent.

Little Tiger laughed and changed into new clothes. A man depends on the clothes, and a horse depends on the saddle. The child was born with a strong head and a healthy brain. He looked very energetic when he put on the clothes with the tiger head embroidered on them.

The other children all looked at the Little Tiger with envy. The clothes made by their sister were nice.

Su Qing looked at Little Tiger’s happy face and smiled. She was proud of her craftsmanship. The god of war not only knew how to kill, but she also knew how to make clothes.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and they heard Ji Shuisheng talking to someone.
