82 Chapter 82. Snatching Food

“Brother Shuisheng.”

Qiu Yue mustered her courage to face Ji Shuisheng’s cold eyes. She called his name softly; the resentment in her eyes was about to come out. Her low voice revealed a sense of heartache.

“What did I do wrong? You don’t even care about me now. Tell me if I did something wrong, and I’ll change.”

Ji Shuisheng suddenly stood up and left the tree in big strides. He shouted at the resting villagers,

“Everyone, pack up and get ready for the journey.”

Qiu Yue looked at his back, and her tears flowed down. He didn’t even want to talk to her anymore?

What did she do wrong? Why does brother Shuisheng hate me so much?

Qiu Yue felt like she was going crazy, and her hatred for Su Qing deepened.

The team continued to move forward. Qiu Yue walked on the mountain road with incredible difficulty. Her shoes were also against her. The grass rope would break and fall off her shoes.

Qiu Yue could not help but squat on the ground and cry. Aunt Qiu coaxed her and took out a pair of straw sandals for her daughter.

“We’ll throw the shoes away if they’re broken. We can’t get new shoes if we don’t get rid of the old ones.”

Aunt Qiu persuaded her daughter with a double meaning, but Qiu Yue didn’t want to hear it, nor did she want the shoes her mother gave her. She just walked on the mountain road barefooted.

Seeing her daughter throwing a tantrum, aunt Qiu was also angry. This child used to be so sensible, but why did she seem to have changed into a different person?

There were many broken stones on the mountain road, and some of them were even sharp. Walking on these broken stones barefooted was like torture. Qiu Yue could not take it after a few steps and squatted down to cry again.

This time, even aunt Qiu’s patience was worn out. She stuffed the straw sandals into Qiu Yue’s hands and said,

“Why are you crying? I gave you shoes, but you didn’t put them on. Hurry up and leave, don’t delay the team.”

When Qiu Yue saw that her mother, who had always loved her, had lost the patience to talk to her, she became even sadder and put on her straw sandals while sobbing.

Aunt Li and aunt Jiang tried to persuade her.

“Qiu Yue, we’re already doing pretty well. Look at the other teams who can’t even eat. Just bear with it for a while. It’ll be fine once we get to Jingshi Dao.

Qiu Yue rubbed her red nose and nodded. She still had to maintain her gentle image and could not lose her temper with outsiders.

Su Qing didn’t know about Qiu Yue’s tricks. She was focused on embroidering the little tiger. The children supported their chins with their hands and looked at her with adoration. When Su Qing looked up, she saw the children’s admiring gazes. Her face would no longer be so cold when she was in a good mood.

The weather tonight was very abnormal. The sun was blazing hot during the day, but the wind was strong in the mountains at night. It was dangerous to camp outside. At night, Ji Shuisheng found an abandoned Daoist temple for everyone to rest.

To save on food, they skipped dinner. Everyone drank some hot water and went to sleep. Su Qing sat before the fire and continued to embroider the tiger. She was a little obsessed with the feeling of embroidery. She felt that embroidery could cultivate one’s body and calm one’s impetuous heart.

The baby tiger was already in its embryonic form, and it would be completed after a little more processing. She wanted to finish it by tonight so that her god of war ability could be upgraded again.

Ji Shuisheng arranged the night shift. He had slept during the day, so he chose the first half of the night to let those who didn’t get to sleep first.

When he saw Su Qing sitting by the fire and embroidering, he couldn’t help but walk over and ask,

“Can you see clearly? Don’t hurt your eyes.”

Ji Shuisheng did not know why he was so concerned about Su Qing. After saying that, he felt he had been rude, but he didn’t regret it. Talking to her was a pleasant thing.

“It’s fine, just once in a while.”

Su Qing raised her head and glanced at him. She took a bun from the bag beside her and handed it over. She said in a disdainful tone,

“I bought it in Jin City. It’s cold and a little hard, so I don’t like it.”

Ji Shuisheng glanced at her. This woman’s words were stiff when she was concerned about people. He took the bun and thanked her with a smile,

“Thank you. It’s still delicious when it’s cold.”

Su Qing looked at him before lowering her head to focus on embroidering the tiger. Ji Shuisheng took the bun and shared it with Li Daniu. The wind was getting increasingly more vital. The trees in the mountains were like the arms of the devil, waving terrifyingly. There was not a single star in the dark sky that looked dark.

If only one person lived in the mountains in this weather and night, he would be scared to death.

Su Qing got up and put out the fire. This kind of wind could easily cause a mountain fire.

Ji Shuisheng also considered this and put out the fire on the other side. The two of them rushed to the last fire.

“I’ll do it. You should go and rest.”

Ji Shuisheng looked at Su Qing and said. Although this woman was cold on the surface and never said anything about caring for others, she had a strong sense of responsibility. She had silently done many things for the villagers of Peach Blossom Cove.

“Okay.”

Su Qing nodded. She was also a little tired. Only now did she realize that Ji Shuisheng was right. Needlework should not be done at night, as it would hurt her eyes.

Su Qing went to the bed that Xiaoying had laid out and lay down. Xiaoying was a perfect sleeper, leaving half the space for her and the blanket half-empty. Su Qing lifted the blanket and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, she heard the sound of sticks hitting each other and people shouting. Su Qing was jolted awake and stood up to leave the dojo.

In the dark, the two groups of people were fighting. Su Qing could see clearly under the light of the crescent moon. A few men in ragged clothes, who looked like beggars, were fighting with Ji Shuisheng and the others with sticks. They were very fierce, as if they were going all out.

However, perhaps because she was too hungry, her actions seemed to be in slow motion, slow and weak.

However, the man fighting with Ji Shuisheng was more than two meters tall and looked like a colossal iron tower. He was holding a stone axe in his left and right hands. He must have been strong as he waved the axe with the wind. He was as fierce as a tiger that had descended the mountain.

Ji Shuisheng’s martial arts skills were so strong that fighting with him was brutal. This might be the so-called ‘one man can defeat ten men.’

However, Ji Shuisheng had received Bai Jiuxiang’s careful training and was also extremely strong. He did not defeat this kid immediately because he wanted to see what other abilities he had.

He was going to do great things in the future. This kid was strong. He would become a powerful helper if he could take him by his side.

Once he clearly understood this brat’s moves, Ji Shuisheng no longer showed any mercy. He dodged behind the big guy and jumped up, hitting the back of his neck with his stick, directly beating this brat to the ground.

“Tie him up.”

Ji Shuisheng ordered Li Daniu, and Li Daniu immediately came over with a rope. He thought that he could easily tie him up and was even scolding him,

“Who asked you to steal our food? Who asked you to be a bandit?”

Hearing the word ‘Food,’ the big guy, originally dizzy, suddenly got up and pressed Li Daniu under his body. He waved his fist and hit Li Daniu. Li Daniu didn’t have time to react before he was knocked unconscious.

The big guy stood up and saw Su Qing standing before him. His eyes were red, and he didn’t care who it was. He rushed toward Su Qing.
