“Step back.”

The two bailiffs shouted at Qin Feng. Seeing them use knives to force their grandfather, Ji Shuisheng walked over with a dark expression; the two bailiffs became nervous when they saw Ji Shuisheng walking over with a dark face. “What do you want?”

Qin Feng was afraid that Ji Shuisheng would fight with these two people, so he hurriedly bowed to them and said,

“Sir, I pity the children and want to give them something to eat.”

“What’s there to be pitiful about? They’re all felons. You’re not allowed to give it to them.”

The two bailiffs became even more arrogant seeing Qin Feng’s good attitude.

The potatoes smelled so good. These lowlifes sold them one tael of silver before giving them two. However, they gave Xing Ruhai and his family for free. This made them very unhappy. They wanted to find trouble.

“Sir, the prisoners are starving to death. Will I be punished too?”

Qin Feng was furious. These two bailiffs would have to scram and go home if he were an official. However, he had no choice now. He was also a nobody. He could only patiently persuade them.

“Bitch, you won’t die.”

The two bailiffs refused to budge. Ji Shuisheng couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense with them and directly pushed their knives away. He took the potatoes in his hands and his grandfather’s hands and sent them to Xing Ruhai’s family.

The two bailiffs were terrified when they saw the burly man’s imposing manner. Now that the bailiffs were leading everyone to fetch water, only the two would be disadvantaged if they fought. However, they were used to using the tiger’s might and were unwilling to give up. They mustered up their courage and shouted at Ji Shuisheng.

“Stop right there.”

Ji Shuisheng acted as if he didn’t hear him. He walked to Xing Ruhai and placed the four potatoes in his hands. Seeing that Xing Ruhai had fallen into such a sorry state, the expression in his eyes was still not shocked. Ji Shuisheng admired this person and said to him in a low voice,

“Eat it. 1’11 watch it. No one dares to snatch it.”

“Thank you, Young Master.”

Xing Ruhai was very touched. A stranger had gone against a bailiff for his family. A single bite could save a life in this desolate place, but this person had given them all his rations. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a great benefactor.

Afraid that they would be snatched away by the bailiffs, the family of four wolfed down the potatoes. After drinking the meat soup and eating the potatoes, the family felt that they were still alive. They looked at Ji Shuisheng and Qin Feng with gratitude.

The two bailiffs were drooling at the smell of the potatoes, but they didn’t dare to snatch them.

An hour later, the head bailiff returned with the male prisoners and the other bailiffs. The water bags were filled with water. He had drunk enough by the river and washed his face. As for taking a bath, he dared not. The water was so cold that he would catch a cold if he bathed.

Seeing that the bailiff had returned, the two bailiffs holding back their anger, went over to fuel the fire.

” The potatoes are sold to us for 500 copper coins each, yet they’re given to Xing Ruhai for free. I think these people have a special relationship with Xing Ruhai. Maybe they’ll kidnap prisoners? ”

The head of the bailiffs glanced at Ji Shuisheng and the others. Other than the few bodyguards holding knives, the others looked like commoners. Seeing that they had eaten, the men took tools to hold water and went to fetch water. The women washed the dishes and pots and packed the carriage.

“Don’t cause trouble. If they fight with so many people, we’ll be disadvantaged.”

The bailiff leader did not see that Ji Shuisheng and the others intended to kidnap the prisoners, so he warned his subordinates to calm down.

Now that the sky was bright, it was hard to guarantee that these people would not have any evil thoughts at night. The bailiff did not dare to stay here for long to prevent any more trouble. He didn’t even bother to rest and chased all the prisoners up. It was useless to shout with his mouth. He directly whipped them. Otherwise, no one would get up.

The exiles were whipped like sheep with a series of lashes and curses. Before they left, Xing Ruhai cupped his fists at Qin Feng and Ji Shuisheng to bid farewell.

He would repay the kindness of a meal if he had the chance.

Ji Shuisheng nodded at him and returned his bow. He watched helplessly as they were driven away.

“Grandpa, who is he?”

Ji Shuisheng saw that everyone had walked far away before asking Qin Feng.

” Xing Ruhai, the Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel, is upright and knowledgeable. He is ambitious and honest. He is a rare clean official. If you want to achieve great things, this person will be a good helper for you.”

Qin Feng knew his grandson’s ambition. Other than revenge, he also wanted to do something big. If he wanted to do something, not only did he need money, but he also needed talent. Getting a thousand gold coins was easy, but it was hard to get a general. Similarly, if he chose a civil servant, he could bring peace to the country.

“Those bailiffs are extremely vicious. Why don’t we let Uncle Qu and the others protect their family in secret?”

Ji Shuisheng made a bold decision. He had to capture such a promising talent. Otherwise, Jingshi Dao might be unable to keep his life after being tortured by these bailiffs.

If he had saved Xing Ruhai’s entire family’s lives in a crisis, how could this person not be loyal to him?

“That’s good too. Otherwise, I’m afraid these bailiffs will kill him before he even reaches Jingshi Dao.”

Qu Da is a calm person and doesn’t act rashly. It’s best to let him secretly protect Xing Ruhai’s family. Qin Feng also feels that this is a good idea.

After Ji Shuisheng and his grandfather finished their discussion, he went to find Qu Da, who agreed without a fight when he heard that he was asked to protect Xing Ruhai.

Everyone respected loyal officials and filial sons. Treacherous officials killed their general. If Xing Ruhai could assist his young Master, he must protect him well. Qu Da brought Jiang Cheng and another subordinate to chase after them.

With Qu Da and the others protecting Xing Ruhai, Ji Shuisheng was at ease. After watching them leave, he discussed the following matters with Qiu Yongkang.

It was already afternoon. If they hurried, they couldn’t get out of this mountainous area before dark. On the contrary, they were far from the water source. The two of them unanimously decided that setting up camp here and resting was better. They would leave early the next day.

Since they had decided to stay here for the night, they had to find a place to shelter themselves from the wind and rain. Zhong Yong wanted to follow them, but he was stopped by Ji Shuisheng, who asked him to stay behind to protect Su Qing. Ji Shuisheng took Li Daniu to find a place to rest.

Su Qing thought that since she had nothing to do in the afternoon, she might as well go into the mountains to see if she could hunt any more prey; it would be best if it were large prey. If she could hunt one, she would level up.

At the same time, she could also pick herbs to replenish Xiao Qi’s herb storage in case of emergency.

Xiao Qi was busy packing up the tiger bones in the system. Such good tiger bones were simply top-grade. She had to process them properly to help her master earn money.

Xiao Qi was pleased to hear that Su Qing wanted to help her replenish her herb storehouse. She wanted to go with Master to find herbs. It was so boring to stay in the system all the time. Master’s life was more interesting.

When Su Qing entered the mountain, Li Shuang’er, Ji Xiaoying, and Jiang Yuyan followed behind her with their crossbows.

The baskets were all used to store coal, and it was inconvenient to carry them without them. Su Qing wanted to upgrade her weaving skills, so she cut down the willow branches when she saw them. In a short while, the girls had made four sturdy baskets.

Zhong Yong looked at them with a withered grass stick in his mouth. Weaving baskets were too dull. It was better to hunt.

Did he get what he wanted? Just as he was about to hunt, he heard some movement in the grass. Zhong Yong’s big ears suddenly stood up, and he stared at the grass. The weeds on the mountain were up to his knees. It would not be a problem for it to hide a tiger..
