“I don’t know anything after he finished speaking!”
Xiaoying leaned into Su Qing’s arms and recounted her experience that day. She was crying her eyes out. She was frightened by Qiu Yongkang and was still trembling.
“Don’t be afraid.”
Su Qing patted Xiaoying’s shoulder gently and comforted her. She was thinking about what Xiaoying had just said.
Qiu Yongkang was going to sleep with her tonight? Then he would come back!
“Go back with me first. Sister-in-law will wait for Qiu Yongkang here.” Su Qing decided to wait for him. She had to get rid of Qiu Yongkang today. “I don’t dare to leave you.”
When Xiaoying heard Su Qing asking her to leave, she hid in Su Qing’s arms. No matter who she was with, she didn’t feel safe. Only her strong sister-in-law could give her a sense of security.
Su Qing whispered to Xiaoying,
“Alright, when Qiu Yongkang comes back…”
“Alright, I can do it.”
Xiaoying nodded her head vigorously after hearing her sister-in-law’s words. No matter what, she had to capture Qiu Yongkang today.
Su Qing asked Xiaoying to sit on the bed and wait for her. She went out to ask the soldiers to retreat and lay in ambush outside. Qiu Yongkang was very cunning. He was a bird that was frightened by the twang of a bow. He would immediately run away if he found out that someone had entered the secret passage.
Xiaoying dared not stay alone in the dark cave and followed Su Qing closely. Seeing how scared Xiaoying was, Su Qing held her hand and led her out of the cave. They came to the two-meter-tall cave with many large wooden boxes that Su Qing had just discovered. There was a small cave beside it. Looking at the cave’s layout, it looked like a two-bedroom house.
Su Qing arranged for the soldiers to set up an ambush, then brought Xiaoying back to the secret passage to wait for Qiu Yongkang to return.
They waited until dawn, but Qiu Yongkang seemed to have disappeared into thin air and did not return.
“Could it be that he found out?”
Su Qing was getting a little frustrated from waiting. Qiu Yongkang had said he would return to sleep with Xiaoying before he left. There was no way he would not come back.
Unless he realized that he had been exposed, he would not escape!
Xiaoying had already fallen asleep, but her sleep was extremely unstable. Her face was filled with fear, and from time to time, she would make a weak plea, “Big Brother Qiu, please let me go.”
Seeing Xiaoying like this, Su Qing wished to skin Qiu Yongkang alive. This bastard did not deserve to wear human skin.
They waited from morning to noon, but Qiu Yongkang still hadn’t returned. Su Qmg calculated the time when Xiaoying had been knocked out. No one had saved her, and she had woken up at this time. Qiu Yongkang didn’t tie her up so he must have calculated that he would return before Xiaoying woke up.
That meant that he didn’t go far. He was probably going to buy some things for the wedding. They didn’t meet Qiu Yongkang when they came from the secret passage. The cave was close to the Northern Barbarians. He should have gone to the Northern Barbarians to buy things. He should have returned long ago!
Since he hadn’t come back yet, he should have run away!
“The three of you, smell it.”
Su Qing was sure that Qiu Yongkang would not return, so she placed the handkerchief that Qiu Yongkang had used to wipe Sakura’s tears in front of the three rescue dogs’ noses, letting them remember the smell.
Xiaoying had been too scared before because the cave was too dark. The three rescue dogs were lying on the ground obediently and did not make a sound She did not notice the three dogs. When she suddenly saw the three wolf-like rescue dogs, she was shocked. She was curious when she saw her sister-in-law giving Qiu Yongkang’s handkerchief to the dogs to smell.
“Sister-in-law, why are they sniffing the handkerchief?”
“Looking for Qiu Yongkang.”
Su Qing watched as the three rescue dogs sniffed the handkerchief and put it away. When she heard Xiaoying’s question, she told her why she must return to Mo City first.
“You go back with them first; I’ll go find Qiu Yongkang.”
“Alright.”
Xiaoying knew that it was useless for her to stay here. Her original plan with her sister-in-law was to trick Qiu Yongkang into entering the cave so that Su Qing could catch him. Now, this plan was useless. Her sister-in-law would only be burdened if she took her along, so she obediently followed the guards back to Mo City.
After Su Qing sent Xiaoying away, she saw that the three rescue dogs were eager to go out. She first put the big wooden boxes in the cave into the system She had checked that the boxes were full of gold, silver, and jewelry. It should be the treasures the Taoist Master had plundered and stored in the cave. Qiu Yongkang probably wanted to use these gold, silver, and jewelry to live with Xiaoying. Now that she had discovered it, she naturally would not leave it for Qiu Yongkang.
After all the boxes were stored in the system, Su Qing followed the three rescue dogs out of the cave. The three dogs sniffed hard in front of them, but they had no direction because the heavy snow covered the smell.
Did Qiu Yongkang escape again?
Su Qing frowned. ‘Qiu Yongkang had escaped from her hands several times?’
“Xiao Qi, see if there are any clues?”
Since the three dogs couldn’t find Qiu Yongkang, Su Qing asked Xiao Qi for help.
“Master, I can only see the heat of the human body here. I can’t see the face.
There are so many people here that I can’t even draw a map.”
Xiao Qi answered with a bitter face. There were many Northern Barbarians when they got close. It saw a dense red shadow on the system screen, but it couldn’t even point out the direction this time.
Su Qing wasn’t willing to let Qiu Yongkang off so quickly, so she searched around the cave. What would she do if she was in Qiu Yongkang’s shoes?
Would he be willing to leave the woman he loved and the enemy he hated to the core?
Unless Qiu Yongkang were a coward, he would be scared to death when he saw her; however, because Qiu Yongkang had kidnapped Xiaoying, he was not a coward. On the contrary, he was very bold and meticulous.
She believed he had not gone far and was spying on the surroundings!
Su Qing thought in Qiu Yongkang’s shoes and concluded that Qiu Yongkang did not escape.
As she walked, she checked the footprints on the ground. Even the heavy snow could not cover the new footprints. The three dogs ran in the thick snow. Most of their bodies were buried in the snow every time they landed. It was tough, but these dutiful little guys did not care about the difficulties and dangers. They were still sniffing hard to complete the task given by their master.
It was now morning, and the sun was high up in the sky, shining on the white snow. Su Qing asked the system for her eyes,
“Give me a pair of glasses.”
“Consider it a gift.”
The system hurriedly confirmed that it could not give anything away for free.
Su Qing hated its stinginess and said impatiently,
“Hurry up.”
“Alright.”
The system saw that Su Qing was about to lose her temper and hurriedly took out a pair of sunglasses. It wasn’t a good brand, but it could block the reflection of the snow. The design was pretty good. Su Qing took it and put it on her face to avoid dazzling her eyes.
The three dogs suddenly barked wildly, all running in the right direction. There was a row of footprints on the ground. Judging from the depth of the footprints and how they were buried in the snow, Su Qing concluded that the person had just left.
She was delighted as she asked Xiao Qi to search again to see if she could find anything. She chased after the three dogs..
