However, no matter what she experienced, it was none of his business. Ji Shui Sheng silently pulled up the wooden cart. Although there was an additional living person on the cart, he did not seem to have any difficulty moving it.

The team wriggled along the mountain road for several hours. It was noon, and the sun was scorching the earth. People and plants were listless under the sun, like fish out of water. It was unusually hot today, and even breathing was like breathing fire.

They had walked for too long, and it was hot and tiring. Many people couldn’t move anymore, so someone shouted, “Shui Sheng, take a rest. I can’t walk anymore.”

Ji Shui Sheng’s head was also full of sweat. He stopped and looked back.

He had to take care of the women and children, so he couldn’t speed up. Even though he had walked for a few hours, he didn’t go too far. He couldn’t rest until he reached a safe place. On such a hot day, he couldn’t get up as long as he sat down.

“Everyone, hold on a little longer. We’ll find a place to rest after leaving the mountains.”

After Ji Shui Sheng finished shouting, he continued to walk forward. If he did not stop, the people behind him would not dare to stop either, and could only continue to follow him.

Ji Xiao Ying’s face was flushed red from the heat of carrying a small bag on her back. She was so tired that she was panting. She ran two steps forward to catch up with her brother and asked him curiously, “Brother, is it true that the foster father said that the Earth Dragon will turn over in three days?”

Ji Shui Sheng only nodded his head, not speaking. His foster father was skilled in both literature and martial arts, and he was well versed in astronomy and geography. If he said that there would be an earthquake, he would definitely not be wrong.

“But today is the third day. The weather is so clear. It doesn’t look like an Earth Dragon has flipped over.”

Ji Xiao Ying mumbled to herself, the soles of her feet already forming large blisters. However, she did not dare to cry out in pain, for fear that her brother would throw the woman out of the car and force her to sit in it.

Three days ago, their foster father was seriously ill and called her big brother into the house to talk for a long time. When her big brother came out, his eyes were red, as if he had changed into a different person. He took the Golden Black whip that his foster father had given him and went to the back mountain to whip the mountain rocks for the whole night. He had the momentum to destroy the world, and the rocks of the back mountain were smashed into pieces!

From that day on, big brother didn’t like to talk. The day before yesterday, after burying their foster father, big brother locked himself in the room with a black waist token in his hand. He didn’t say a word, didn’t eat, and didn’t drink. His gaze was so scary.

The time that they had to save her brother was when Ji Xia Ying did not listen to him. The rest of the time, she was obedient.

“Gulp.”

Someone at the back couldn’t hold on and fell down, and the whole team stopped.

“Shui Sheng, you really can’t walk anymore. Take a rest, drink some water, and eat something!”

Old master Qiu, who was sitting on the ox cart, spoke. He was the oldest man in Peach Blossom Cove and had great prestige in the village. He was one of the first people to move into Peach Blossom Cove.

When Ji Shui Sheng’s foster father, Bai Jiu Xiang, was alive, he was old master Qiu’s best friend.

After he spoke, Ji Shui Sheng could only stop. He raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat on his face and looked around. He pointed to the plains in front and said, “I’ll rest there. ”

They had not left the mountain area yet. It would be most dangerous if the Earth Dragon turned over the foot of the mountain. It would be relatively safer on the plains.

Before they reached the resting area designated by Ji Shui Sheng, the women, children, the weak, and the elderly could no longer support themselves and sat on the ground. The thirsty villagers hurriedly took out their water bags to drink.

However, no one dared to drink too much. Who knew how long it would take for them to reach a place with water? If they drank all the water now, they would die of thirst if they couldn’t find a water source.

As it was just a short rest, they couldn’t go out to look for food. Therefore, they took out the dry food and water that they brought from home to eat.

Ji Xiao Ying did not care about drinking water. She went to the cart and helped Su Qing up to give her water.

Ji Shui Sheng glanced at his sister but did not stop her. When he was holding that woman earlier, he had taken her pulse. Her internal organs were severely damaged and she would not live for long. However, he did not tell his sister because he did not want to see her sad.

Ji Shui Sheng picked up his water bag from the cart and drank some water. When his mouth was full of moisture, he slowly swallowed and covered the lid after drinking a mouthful.

Carrying the water bag and sitting under the tree, he thought about the words that his father had said before he died. His eyes burst with hatred and anger, and he had to clench his fist to suppress the hatred that was about to destroy the world.

Su Qing felt as if she was a fish that had been thrown into the desert. She was hot, thirsty, and in unbearable pain.

She also felt someone helping her up. Due to her profession, Su Qing didn’t allow anyone to get close to her. Being close to someone meant danger. She accumulated her strength and was ready to kill the other party when a drop of spring water dripped into her mouth.

Su Qing felt that the person had no ill intentions. Was she feeding her water?

She seemed to be very careful with the water, as if she was afraid that she would choke. The water dripped into Su Qing’s mouth, drop by drop. Su Qing felt as if the water had been poured on a desert, but it did not quench her thirst. She could not wait any longer, so she grabbed the water bag and drank it in big gulps.

“Brother, she’s awake. She can drink water now.”

A happy voice rang out beside her ear. The voice was clear and melodious. Su Qing followed the voice and turned around. It was a beautiful young lady, who was looking at her with a smile. Her eyes were pure and clear, without a trace of greed.

Su Qing was stunned for a moment. How long had it been since she had seen such a clean gaze?

Did she save her?

When Ji Shui Sheng heard his sister’s shout, he raised his head to take a look. As expected, that woman had sat up and her swollen eyes were looking at him.

When Su Qing saw Ji Shui Sheng, she immediately became alert. He had a full beard, so she couldn’t tell how old he was. However, that pair of eyes caught Su Qing’s attention.

What a heavy sense of hostility! What a strong hatred!

Ji Shui Sheng didn’t come over to look at Su Qing. He only glanced at her indifferently and retracted his gaze. He bent one leg and placed his hand on his knee. He leaned against the tree and looked up at the sky.

A few dark clouds had appeared in the sunny sky just a moment ago. He sat up straight, and his eyes became serious.

Was the Earth Dragon going to flip over?

“Don’t rest. Let’s go,” Ji Shui Sheng stood up and shouted at the rest of the crowd while he strode towards the wooden cart.

There were a total of nineteen households in the Peach Blossom Ridge, more than a hundred people, of which a third were the elderly, children, and women. They had just rested for a while and had not yet recovered when they were urged to hurry on with their journey.

It was simply impossible to do so.

“The Earth Dragon is about to flip over.”

Seeing that they were sitting on the ground without moving, Ji Shui Sheng frowned and roared. Hearing that the Earth Dragon was about to flip over, everyone hurriedly got up.

Ji Shui Sheng walked to the front of the wooden cart and looked at Su Qing. Su Qing also looked at him, and their eyes met.

“Master, I’m scared.”

Little seven’s cute voice rang in Su Qing’s ears. The little one was afraid of this man, who was full of hostility.

Su Qing didn’t respond to little seven and kept looking at Ji Shui Sheng. This man was really tall. He looked to be more than 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a thin waist. He had an inverted triangle body shape, and his exposed arms were strong and powerful. He was a martial arts practitioner.

Ji Shui Sheng felt that this woman was scrutinizing him. Her eyes were swollen to the point that no expression could be seen, but he could feel her calmness and coldness, which kept people at arm’s length.
