Chapter 36: Saving Someone

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The man was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted. He quickly searched his body and took out a string of money, handing it to Su Qing timidly.”

“This is all I have. If it’s not enough, I can be your servant. As long as you can save my wife and children, I’m willing to do anything.”

Su Qing looked at him and took the money. The man was overjoyed. As long as she was willing to accept the money, his wife and child would be saved.

“Look at her! She needs money to save people?!” Qiu Yue said angrily to Ji Xiaoying.

Ji Xiao Ying looked at her as if she was a stranger.

“Sister Qiuyue, she just saved you and Grandpa Qiu. You didn’t even pay a single cent for the expensive ginseng, so why are you still talking about her like this?”

Qiu Yue was rendered speechless by Ji Xiao Ying’s rebuttal, but her eyes were still filled with indignation. She was afraid that Ji Xiao Ying would be disgusted by her, so she did not continue.

Su Qing went over to take a look at the man’s wife. It turned out that she was a pregnant woman who had a difficult labor due to shock. Her lower body was covered in blood, and her breathing was shallow. She was in a critical condition.

“Little seven, can you cure it?” Su Qing asked little seven, and little seven agreed.

Her voice was filled with heartache as she explained, “Yes, but I need a natural birth pill and a blood-replenishing pill each. Master’s half of the ginseng can’t be kept anymore.”

“Alright,” she said.

Su Qing nodded and asked the man, “I need ginseng. Do you have it?”

The man quickly nodded, “I have ginseng. I just dug one up in the mountains before I fled.”

“Mother, take out the ginseng,” the man called out to his mother.

The old lady stood up shakily and took out a cloth bag from her arms. She handed it to Su Qing reluctantly.

“Alright,” she said.

Su Qing took a look at it. This ginseng was incomparable to the one she had. The ginseng she had collected was at least 300 years old and had a faint human shape. The one he had was only a few decades old and could only be used in medicine.

Su Qing took the ginseng and went to prepare the medicine. The man hugged his wife tightly. He didn’t feel sorry about the ginseng. What was the use of money and material things when a person was gone?

Su Qing didn’t let the system use the half of the ginseng she had, but the one given to her by the old woman. Although the effects were average, it was enough for a woman who was having a difficult labor.

Soon, Su Qing returned to the pregnant woman with the pill and fed it to her in front of everyone. The woman’s dull eyes regained their luster, and the bleeding stopped immediately.

“Men, leave. Women, help to surround them,” Su Qing ordered coldly. Her voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable power. The men quickly left and the women spontaneously came over and surrounded her, blocking the view of outsiders.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the sound of a baby’s powerful cry could be heard. The people of Peach Blossom Cove were extremely excited, and the others were also boiling with excitement.

“She’s alive! She’s a goddess!”

“Godly doctor! She’s really a godly doctor!”

Su Qing handed the baby over to the old lady. She had a strange feeling in her heart. Looking at the wailing baby, Su Qing’s lips curled up. She had personally delivered the baby.

The woman didn’t show any signs of postnatal weakness. She sat up with no effort, and she was a completely different person from the dying pregnant woman just now. Her face was also ruddy, and she didn’t look like someone who had just bled a lot.

Before Su Qing left, she threw a plaster at the man and said, “Apply it to the wound.”

Her face was still cold. The man was deeply grateful and bowed to Su Qing’s back. He only went back to take care of his wife and children after Su Qing was out of sight.

Su Qing looked at the progress. After saving the pregnant woman and the child, her medical skills and merit increased by four slots. She was very satisfied with the progress she had made.

Su Qing’s rescue was seen by someone, and his eyes flashed with disbelief. He even rubbed his eyes and followed Su Qing. He saw her walk to the people from Peach Blossom Cove.

The man seemed to be looking for someone? They searched among the villagers of Peach Blossom Cove.

When Su Qing was saving the woman who was having a difficult labor, Old Master Qiu was being helped to the side of the road. The bloodstains on his clothes were still shocking, but his face had recovered visibly. His spirit was no different from before he was seriously injured, and he was even better. He even had more strength to breathe and speak than ever before.

“Yongkang, find a chance to pick a ginseng and return it to Su Qing,” Old Master Qiu ordered his grandson. He would not let the young lady give up such a precious ginseng because she had saved his life.

“I know,” Qiu Yongkang agreed. He had the same thoughts as Jiang Chen, but he had to try his luck. Ginseng was a rare treasure that could only be found by luck.

When Old Master Qiu was seriously injured and the people of Peach Blossom Cove went to see them, the disaster victims took advantage of the chaos to snatch two horses and run away.

Li Daniu and Jiang Laoqi chased after one of them, but that disaster victim was whipping his whip with all his might and ran into the mountains. Li Daniu and Jiang Laoqi could not catch up with four legs on just two legs. They could only watch as the horse and the things on the horse were taken away by them.

Ji Shui Sheng untied the horse that was tied to the cart and jumped onto the horse to chase after them in the mountains.

Some of the other victims were still eager to try. Qiu Yongkang quickly organized people to guard the things. Seeing that they were all holding forks and shovels, the other victims didn’t dare to approach.

After Ji Xiao Ying witnessed the terror of the disaster victims, she understood what her big brother had said. Hunger would make people go crazy, and the evil that was usually hidden would emerge. They would dare to kill and rob people.

“Ladies, walk in the middle. Don’t act alone. Keep an eye on all the men in the family.”

Old Master Qiu had recovered from his injuries and was in the mood to remind everyone. The memory of the escape was still fresh in his mind. There were human traffickers hiding among the disaster victims and they would take the girls away when they found the opportunity.

The better ones were sold to those old bastards as concubines, but those who were not chosen by the rich families were sent to brothels. Innocent girls who were caught in those places would either die or be trapped in a quagmire. They would not have a good end.

After Old Master Qiu’s reminder, all the families with young ladies became nervous. Qiu Yue was even more afraid, and she stayed in the car, not daring to get out.

The other girls were also afraid after seeing the disaster victims snatching the horses. They obediently gathered in the middle of the group, and the men of Peach Blossom Cove automatically went to the periphery to protect them.

When Su Qing returned, the people from Peach Blossom Cove had already packed up the items that had been trampled on. They were waiting for her and Ji Shui Sheng to return so that they could continue their journey.

Seeing that Su Qing had returned, Ji Xiao Ying went over to hold her arm and told her about the thrilling scene.

“Sister, our horse has been stolen. My brother went to chase after it.”

“Snatching the horse?”

Su Qing frowned as she looked at the disaster victims gathered around her. There were at least 800 of them, if not 1000. The moment the robbery started, others would follow suit.

“My brother went to chase after him, but I don’t know if he can catch up.”

Ji Xiao Ying’s face was pale from the shock. She felt insecure without her brother around. Fortunately, sister Su Qing was back. With her around, Ji Xiao Ying was not afraid.

The man who had been observing Su Qing quietly approached the group from Peach Blossom Cove. There were two men behind him. They were both wearing long robes and their hair was tied up with a cloth ribbon. They looked like scholars, but their eyes were evil and they didn’t look like good people.
