Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After Li Daniu heard Ji Shui Sheng’s words, he looked at him with a strange expression, as if he didn’t know Ji Shui Sheng anymore.

“That’s because those who don’t have schemes all die miserably.”

When Ji Shui Sheng heard Li Daniu’s evaluation of him, his eyes turned cold. The flames of hatred danced in his deep eyes and his entire temperament became gloomy.

This kind of Ji Shui Sheng scared Li Daniu. He didn’t dare to ask anymore questions, wondering why a person without any schemes would die so miserably.

Didn’t mother say that heartless people were blessed?

The two of them returned to their resting place and saw that the villagers were all drinking cold-warding soup. The porridge had already been cooked, but no one had eaten it, waiting for them to come back!

Old Master Qiu was very happy when he saw the two baskets of live fish that Ji Shui Sheng and Li Daniu had caught.

He smiled and asked, “Shui Sheng, you caught so many fish?”

“Grandpa, I have an idea.”

Ji Shui Sheng had been thinking about this problem on the way back. In the past, their village was self-sufficient, as if they were isolated from the world. Therefore, they didn’t have much money on hand, and the food they brought out wouldn’t last long. After walking for so long and sweating so much every day, they needed to replenish their salt. Salt in the great Xia Kingdom was more expensive than food, and the injured people, the old, the weak, and the sick might fall behind on the way if they didn’t have a cart.

His foster father had said that the people of Peach Blossom Cove were their benefactors, and no matter how difficult it was, they could not leave them behind.

The old man who came to rent the fishing net just now had inspired Ji Shui Sheng. Those refugees were not only poor people, but also many rich businessmen. They had money, and earning their money was not against the law of heaven.

Instead, it was a way for heaven.

Old Master Qiu looked at Ji shuisheng and asked, “What do you think?”

After Bai Jiuxiang’s death, this child seemed to have grown up overnight. This time, Ji Shui Sheng’s various performances in escaping from the famine had made Old Master Qiu think highly of him.

“I want to earn money from those rich people.”

Ji Shui Sheng pointed to the fish in the basket on his back and Old Master Qiu understood.

“You want to sell it to them.”

“Yes, but not like this. When it’s cooked, we’ll lure them over with the fragrance, and then we’ll decide the price.”

Ji Shui Sheng had thought about it carefully. This was called taking the bait. If they rushed to the refugee team to sell fish, those people would lower the price. If they came to buy fish themselves, then the price would be up to him to set.

“Alright, we’ll do as you say,”

Old Master Qiu nodded approvingly. The way he looked at Ji Shui Sheng became more and more appreciative. He was so kind, as if he was looking at his grandson.

“Shui Sheng is smart.”

Qiu Yue’s mother, Aunty Qiu, praised Ji Shui Sheng along with her father-in-law. Qiu Yue, who was helping to scoop the cold-waarding soup, pursed her lips and glanced at Ji Shui Sheng shyly, her eyes filled with love.

“Aunt Qiu, I’ll have to trouble you with the fish stew.”

Ji Shui Sheng entrusted the matter of stewing the fish to Aunt Qiu. He was still thinking about that woman boiling the medicine and was very afraid that she would waste the pangolin he had worked hard to find.

“Big brother, have some porridge.”

Ji Xiao Ying carried a bowl of congee and smiled at her brother. She was full of admiration for her brother.

“Yes.”

Ji Shui Sheng took the bowl of porridge and absent-mindedly glanced at their cart.

Suddenly, he put down the bowl and turned back to ask his sister, “Where’s the woman who was injured?”

“Sister? Isn’t she boiling medicine?”

Hearing her brother ask about Su Qing, Ji Xiao Ying also hurriedly looked towards the cart. Seeing that Su Qing was nowhere to be seen, Ji Xiaoying also became anxious.

“Aiya, where did big sister go?”

“She might have gone to the toilet?” Qiu Yue comforted Ji Xiaoying gently.

“I’ll go take a look. ”

Ji Xiao Ying was still worried, so she pulled up the hem of her skirt and ran towards the forest.

The people of Peach Blossom Cove had already reached a tacit understanding. The women went to the left side of the bushes to use the toilet, while the men went to the right side of the bushes.

Ji Xiaoying ran into the bushes and called out for her sister, but there was no response. She searched the entire bush but could not find Su Qing. She walked out of the bush dejectedly, her eyes red from anxiety.

“Big brother, will big sister be in danger?”

Ji Shui Sheng couldn’t comfort his sister. He had just checked and that woman had taken three days worth of medicine in one day. Medicine could cure illnesses, but it could also kill people. She had finished such a large dose in one meal, and it was likely that she was in danger.

If she was still here, he could use the method of inducing vomiting to make her spit out the medicine, but he had no choice since she was not here.

“No, I have to find my sister.”

Ji Xiao Ying saw that her brother was so anxious that he was about to cry. She looked around for her sister. How could she not have someone to take care of her sister when she was so badly injured?

“She... Did she go back to her mother’s house?”

Qiu Yue followed over and asked hesitantly when she saw how anxious Ji Xiao Ying was.

“Go home? Where did she have a home? I asked my sister, and she said that there’s no one left in her maiden family. There’s nowhere to go.”

It would have been fine if Ji Xiao Ying had not listened, but the moment she heard Qiu Yue’s words, her tears fell. Her sister was too pitiful! Where did she go?

Ji Shui Sheng found the conversation between his sister and Qiu Yue a little strange, but he was not in the mood to ask.

He had said that he would cure that woman to repay her for saving his sister’s life, but since she had already left, he could forget about it.

“No, I have to go and find my sister.”

However, Ji Xiao Ying was still unwilling to give up. She was truly worried about her sister, and she had to find Su Qing.

...

How could Ji Shui Sheng be at ease letting his sister run out to look for her? He frowned and pulled Ji Xiao Ying back.

“I’ll go find her. ”

“Brother, you must find sister. She’s covered in injuries and has no home to return to. She’s very pitiful.”

Ji Xiao Ying pulled Ji Shui Sheng’s arm and begged him repeatedly.

Ji Shui Sheng nodded.

“I’ll get her back. You’re not allowed to run around. ”

“Alright, I won’t run.”

Ji Xiao Ying nodded her head vigorously, but Ji Shui Sheng was still worried as he looked at Qiu Yue.

“Qiu Yue, keep an eye on Xiao Ying.”

Qiu Yue was very excited to be entrusted with such an important task by Ji Shui Sheng.

She looked at Ji Shui Sheng with her big watery eyes and reassured him, “Brother shuisheng, don’t worry. I will definitely take good care of Xiao Ying.”

...

Ji Shui Sheng nodded and didn’t say anything else. In fact, he wasn’t sure if he could find that woman. At this time, more and more refugees were gathering. At a glance, it was a black mass, and there were at least a few hundred people.

It wasn’t easy to find one person among these hundreds of people, but since he had promised his sister, he had to find her, no matter how difficult it was.

It just so happened that Ji Shui Sheng also wanted to take a look at the situation of those escapees and observe who they were.

Seeing that Ji Shui Sheng was about to head over to the refugees, Li Daniu ran over.

“Brother Shui Sheng, I’ll go with you.”

“Stay behind and look after Xiao Ying.”

Ji Shui Sheng did not agree, sending him to look after Xiao Ying.

“Shui Sheng, do you need me to go with you?” Qiu Yongkang walked over and asked Ji shuisheng.

His grandfather had just told him about Ji Shui Sheng’s plan and he also felt that it was very good. It would be a waste if he did not earn the money of the rich. Only with money could he bring the entire village safely to Jingshi Road.

“No need, I’ll go over by myself. You help me look after them and don’t let the refugees get close.”

Ji Shui Sheng shook his head and walked towards the refugee camp.

Seeing the bearded Ji Shui Sheng walking over, the beaten up refugees were all very afraid and looked at him in awe.

Ji Shui Sheng ignored them and looked at all these people, from the beginning to the end. He did not see that thin figure. Where did that woman go?
