Qiu Yongkang kowtowed to his sister’s body.
“Qiu Yue, don’t blame big brother. In the next life, big brother will be your slave. You can rest in peace. I will take good care of father and mother. Every year on the 15th day of the 7th month, I will burn more paper money for you,”
Li Daniu and seventh brother Jiang carried Qiu Yue up. Suddenly, Li Daniu jumped up and said,
“Aiya, Aiya, you scared me to death. She wants to use me as a scapegoat. Qiu Yue grabbed my hand.”
Li Daniu left Qiu Yue behind and ran out of the forest. He didn’t dare to do this anymore.
After hearing what he said, seventh brother Jiang dared not lift Qiu Yue anymore. He quickly put her down on the ground.
Aunt Qiu was not afraid that her daughter would turn into a ghost. She cried and hugged Qiu Yue.
“Qiu Yue, catch mother as a scapegoat and go reincarnate.”
Qiu Yongkang didn’t believe that there was a ghost. He went over to check on the situation and saw Qiu Yue slowly opening her eyes. Her eyes were filled with fear when she saw him, and she was shivering in her mother’s arms.
Qiu Yongkang walked over and grabbed his sister’s wrist. Feeling her pulse, he looked up at his sister. Wasn’t she dead?
Having escaped from death, Qiu Yue was still in shock. Seeing her brother grabbing her arm, she begged him with a hoarse voice,
“Brother, I promise to get married. Don’t kill me, don’t kill me … It hurts, really hurts…”
While this side was in chaos, Su Qing and Ji Shuishcng were driving a carriage and mixing in with a group of people who were fleeing. Too many victims were on the road and had not gone far, even after a day.
Ji Shuisheng’s heart was burning with anxiety. Firstly, he worried Wan Yulin and the rest would find out that old Qin had been kidnapped and send people to kill him.
Secondly, he was worried about the team from Peach Blossom Cove. They would reencounter danger if he weren’t around.
Su Qing and old master Qin were sitting in the carriage. Old master Qin’s hair had been dyed black by Su Qing, and he wore a coarse shirt. No one would be able to recognize him from his appearance.
However, he couldn’t change how he acted after so many years. He sat there in a steady posture, and it was evident he was an official with high status.
Even if a person wearing a coarse coat could afford to sit in a carriage, he would only be a local tycoon. If he could do such a thing, it would arouse suspicion.
“Father, you can’t do this. Why don’t you observe what they look like? ”
Su Qing opened the curtains and let old master Qin look outside. She called him ‘father’ very naturally. Ji Shuisheng, driving the carriage in front, heard Su Qing calling him ‘Father,’ and his eyebrows twitched.
He realized that he was one generation lower than Su Qing!
The old Qin master looked out of the carriage. The faces of the disaster victims were miserable, their eyes were dazed, and they walked weakly. None of them paid attention to their image and even limped.
“I’ll learn.”
The old man immediately understood what Su Qing meant. If one’s appearance changed, one’s behavior also had to change.
Along the way, the old man had been watching these people. He learned very seriously, and his sitting posture had changed, becoming casual and natural.
There were too many people fleeing, and everyone was weak. No one was willing to take two more steps to make way for the carriage behind them, so Ji Shuisheng could only slowly follow behind them. However, as he slowly followed, he suddenly stopped, and they all stood still on the road.
“Why aren’t they moving?”
“I’ll go take a look.”
Ji Shuisheng felt something was amiss, so he handed the whip to Su Qing to let her drive the carriage. He jumped off the carriage and went to the front to understand the situation.
After walking for a few hundred meters, they saw that soldiers had blocked the road. They were checking the victims one by one. Someone was holding a portrait and pulled it over to compare when he saw a white-haired old man.
Ji Shuisheng’s expression turned grave. He didn’t expect the ironclad Army to be so fast.
They thought they would have at least half a day, but it had only been a day, and they had already discovered their grandfather was missing.
Ji Shuisheng returned to the carriage. Su Qing saw his serious expression and asked,
“You’ve already discovered it?”
“Yes, they’re investigating further ahead. If they see an old man, they’ll grab him and compare him with the portrait.
Ji Shuisheng looked at his grandfather worriedly. Although his grandfather had changed his appearance, he still felt uneasy.
“You should shave your beard.”
Su Qing suddenly recalled that the Wan family Army had seen Ji Shuisheng’s appearance at the relay station. His appearance was different from the rest and left a deep impression.
“Ah? Shave?”
Ji Shuisheng didn’t expect Su Qing to ask him to shave. He touched the beard he had kept for a few years and was a little reluctant. Suddenly, he remembered what his foster father had said when he asked him to shave his beard. He quickly said to Su Qing,
“No, I look too similar to my father. That Wan guy will recognize me at a glance.”
“That’s easy,”
Su Qing said this calmly. Ji Shuisheng looked at her intensely. He was very suspicious. Was there anything complicated for her to do?
Old Qin acted as the coachman to drive the carriage, while Su Qing pressed Ji Shuisheng in the carriage and changed his appearance.
First of all, she shaved off his thick beard. She had to be very close to him when shaving Ji Shuisheng’s beard. Her orchid and musky breath drifted into Ji Shuisheng’s breath. Her neck, which was as white as snow, was right before Ji Shuisheng’s eyes. His blood was boiling!
Ji Shuisheng felt all the blood in his body rush up to his nose, and then he had a magnificent nosebleed.
This was too embarrassing. Ji Shuisheng covered his nose with his hand and dared not look into Su Qing’s eyes. He was afraid that he would see the disdain in her eyes.
Su Qing furrowed his brows. Have you had a nosebleed?
She had forgotten to get something to relieve the summer heat!
“Raise your head and slap your forehead.”
It wasn’t convenient for her to work with Ji Shuisheng having such a nosebleed, so she lifted Ji Shuisheng’s chin with her slender fingers and made him raise his head to stop the nosebleed.
She didn’t know how inappropriate this action was. Men usually did it to women, but she did it quite naturally.
His chin, which had just been shaved, was a little prickly. She felt her fingers go numb as if they had been electrocuted. Su Qing didn’t like the feeling and put her hand down.
Ji Shuisheng looked at her awkwardly, even though … Even though he should be doing what she did just now but… However, she could continue not to let go-
The old Qin master looked ahead with a face full of worry. He couldn’t bear to cause all these fleeing disaster victims to suffer with him.
Turning around, he saw Su Qing holding Ji Shuisheng’s chin. The old man turned his head stiffly. He shouldn’t have looked back.
As the team slowly moved forward, the number of armored soldiers on the road increased. To prevent people from escaping, they drove the disaster victims to the middle of the road, and the armored soldiers drove them forward on horses like they were driving livestock.
Everyone was terrified, not knowing what had happened. Why were there so many soldiers? What were they doing?
Fear made everyone shiver. They didn’t even dare to whisper and just walked forward mechanically. They didn’t know what kind of fate was waiting for them. Could they live past today?
The soldiers of the iron-armored Army were like wolves and tigers. If someone walked to the roadside, they would whip or cut him with a knife. They didn’t care for them as if they were their people. Their behavior was no different from that of the barbarians.
The commoners were furious but did not dare to speak. They were afraid of these people who killed without blinking.
Old man, Qin’s heart was pounding as he watched. Su Qing was worried that old man Qin would impulsively admit that he was Qin Feng..
