Chapter 32: A Surprise
Su Qing walked towards the grass on the left after hearing little seven's words. There were few people at the bottom of the cliff, so the plants were very dense. The grass was half the height of a person. If she didn't get close, she wouldn't be able to see what was in the grass.
Su Qing pushed aside the grass and saw that it was a musk deer that had broken its leg. It probably fell from the cliff and was blocked by a branch or something, so it did not fall to its death. However, even if it did not die, it was struggling with its last breath and did not have much time left.
"Master, there's musk! It's very big!"
Little seven's voice was jubilant as she coquettishly spoke tp her master.
"Very good," she said.
Su Qing complimented little seven, which was a rare occurrence.
Little seven was overjoyed and said in a cute voice, "Thank you for the compliment, master. Little seven will continue to work hard!"
Su Qing's eyes flashed with a smile. Natural musk was expensive. With the ginseng and musk, she would be able to gather enough money to buy Lingzhi.
Su Qing walked over and ended the buck's life with the short knife that Ji Shui Sheng had left with her for self-defense, ending its pain.
Musk was found in the gland between the belly button and the reproductive organ of a male musk deer. Male deer started secreting musk from the age of two. This deer didn't look young, so the size of the musk must be quite big.
Su Qing killed the Musk according to the method given by little seven. She cut off the sachet, and after drying it, the secretion hardened into brown granules and crystals. She cut open the sachet and took out the musk, leaving this work to little seven.
Su Qing did not waste the remaining deer meat. After Ji Shui Sheng dragged the giant python up the cliff, she also tied the deer to the vines, pulling on them as she shouted towards the cliff, "Pull."
The crisp sound reverberated in the valley. Ji Shui Sheng's hearing as a martial arts practitioner was better than the average person's, and he began to pull the vines up when he heard Su Qing's shout.
He was still puzzled. Didn't Su Qing say that he didn't need to care? Could it be that his physical strength was lacking?
Thinking of this, Ji Shui Sheng increased the speed of pulling. Su Qing did not stay idle while waiting. She picked whatever herbs there were nearby. She had actually found two huge three-sevens.
No one came to the bottom of the cliff. It had been more than three or seven years, and the soil that was pulled out was very big and had a very good color.
[Congratulations, host. Your herb-picking has reached Level 4, and your God of War ability has reached level 15. Keep up the good work.]
The system's voice rang out, and even the system was happy for Su Qing. As expected of the former God of War, the speed at which she completed her missions was too fast.
Su Qing's expression did not change. She put all the three-seven fruits into the system. Little seven was overjoyed. She was busy but also happy. Three-seven fruits could dispel blood stasis, stop bleeding, promote blood circulation, dispel pain, detoxify and reduce swelling. It was very useful.
On the cliff, Ji Shui Sheng was shocked when he saw that it was not Su Qing but a deer that was pulled up. In such a short time, she had caught another animal?
When he saw that the musk of the musk deer had been taken away by Su Qing, Ji Shui Sheng laughed. This woman said that she would make money to buy Lingzhi and she really meant what she said.
She didn't need his help at all!
Ji Shui Sheng examined the vine and saw that the technique of the knot was strange but very strong. It was the first time he had seen such a technique, and he was even more suspicious of what Su Qing used to do.
It was too mysterious!
Ji Shui was afraid that Su Qing would be anxious while waiting for him, so he put away his messy thoughts and threw the vine down again. Seeing that the vine was moving, he cooperated with Su Qing and slowly pulled it up. freeweb(n)ovel.co(m)
After Su Qing climbed up the cliff, she was so tired that she sat on the ground to rest. After all, she was still seriously ill. Even if her God of War ability, mental power, and physical strength were restored to level 15, it was useless. She had exhausted all her strength by fighting the Python and climbing up the cliff by herself.
"Can you walk?" Ji Shui Sheng asked her with concern.
The woman was obviously very weak, but she still refused to ask for his help. Her eyes were still strong and determined, and she had a strong will. fre(e)webnovel.com
"Yes, I can," Su Qing nodded and stood up with her hands on the ground.
She glanced at the giant python and the musk deer and knew that she did not have the strength to bring them back, so she ordered Ji shuisheng,"
"You take it."
Ji Shui Sheng found it a little funny. He had seen this woman giving orders to Li Daniu and the others before. Now, she was giving orders to him. Her tone was very natural, as if she had always been a commander and wanted her subordinates to obey her unconditionally.
However, Ji Shui Sheng didn't mind Su Qing's attitude. It was already good enough that she didn't insist on carrying it herself. Looking at her tired appearance, he was really worried that her illness would relapse.
Ji Shui Sheng found a vine to tie the Python up and pull it along. The musk deer was carried on his shoulder, and a few dozen pounds was a piece of cake for him.
Su Qing did not care about him. He had thick arms and was strong, so he should be the one doing the rough work.
On the way back, Su Qing would stop to pick herbs whenever she saw them. Ji Shui Sheng patiently waited for her. He found it strange himself. When did he become so patient?
They returned to the group at Peach Blossom Cove and saw that Qiu Yongkang had returned as well. He seemed to be reporting something to Grandpa with a serious expression on his face.
The villagers of Peach Blossom Cove were all frightened when they saw Ji Shui Sheng dragging a giant python back. Such a huge snake could even strangle a water buffalo to death.
When they saw the musk deer on Ji Shui Sheng's shoulder, old man Li, who was old and knew the market, shouted excitedly, "Musk deer! Musk can be sold for a lot of money."
Su Qing's eyes darkened, and she looked coldly at old man Li. The Musk was hers, so no one should even think about touching it.
Old man Li felt his scalp go numb. When he met Su Qing's gaze, he quickly lowered his head in fear. What was going on? What did he say wrong?
"Su Qing caught the musk deer, so the musk is hers," Ji Shui Sheng threw the buck to the ground and explained to everyone.
Hearing that the musk was Su Qing's, Old Master Qiu could not help but look up at Su Qing.
Qiu Yue had just woken up from her coma when she heard Ji Shui Sheng's words. Then, she saw him standing side by side with Su Qing. A strong sense of jealousy filled her heart.
She just didn't want Su Qing to get the musk. Thinking that Su Qing had left with the team from Peach Blossom Cove, the musk should belong to them.
Qiu Yue looked at her grandfather anxiously. Her grandfather was highly respected in Peach Blossom Cove, and even Ji Shui Sheng had to listen to him.
Qiu Yue was too weak to get up, so she grabbed her mother's hand and asked her mother to tell her grandfather, "Mother, go and tell grandfather that the musk can not be given to Su Qing. It should belong to Peach Blossom Cove."
"Why would they give us things they caught?" Aunt Qiu frowned as she looked at her daughter.
Su Qing was not a resident of Peach Blossom Cove, and even if she was, she had no obligation to share her things with everyone.
When Qiu Yue saw that her mother was looking at Su Qing, she was very angry.
"If we didn't take her in, she would have died. Saving her life is a great favor."
"It was Shui Sheng and Xiao Ying who saved Su Qing; It has nothing to do with us. Qiuyue, I am realizing that you have changed. This can't happen. Women hate jealousy the most. You have already suffered. If you didn't suspect Su Qing and refused to take the pill she gave you, would you have suffered like this?"
Although Aunt Qiu loved her daughter, she could still distinguish right from wrong in front of others. She lectured Qiu Yue with a righteous tone.
Seeing that she couldn't point at her mother, Qiu Yue wanted to tell her grandfather herself. However, before she could go over, she heard her grandfather speak.
