Chapter 368 Will it really not stink?

"No, no, besides the blood from your fingertips, a lock of hair will be enough. If this fails, there won't be any adverse effects."

Hua Qing stretched out a finger and tapped it lightly, saying, "Just a drop of blood is enough. Don't worry, Miss. It will definitely not have any negative effects on you, nor will it make the Third Prince's illness worse."

Hua Qing's smile was particularly bright, and her eyes narrowed as she said, "I knew that the eldest lady was a beautiful and kind-hearted fairy. If it were an ordinary citizen, the eldest lady would have saved her, not to mention the Third Prince who helped the eldest lady, right?"

"Hua Qing, don't flatter me. Saving others requires that it doesn't affect yourself." Xiao Jiuyue watched Hua Qing's smile froze on her face. She continued, "I'm a very selfish person."

Jun Lie has saved her time and again, and he is still the one who can help redress the Xiao family. Not to mention asking for a little fingertip blood and hair, even if he asks for more, she will give it to him.

Xiao Jiuyue opened her mouth and bit her finger, then asked, "Hua Qing, don't just stand there, hurry up and take it!"

Bright red blood dripped from Xiao Jiuyue's green fingertips. Hua Qing listened to Xiao Jiuyue's urging and immediately filled the small bottle she had prepared earlier. "Miss, you are really a man of action!"

Just do it when you say it, without any delay.

"Miss, you, do you really believe me?" After Hua Qing took the small bottle, she saw Xiao Jiuyue lifting her hair and began to think about how much hair would be appropriate to give. Hua Qing was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears. Her body and hair were given by her parents, not to mention that she was a member of the Hua clan, and ordinary people would never give away their hair!

They are afraid that the flower tribe will make a fuss about their hair!

Xiao Jiuyue looked at Hua Qing steadily: "Believe it." She didn't know what Hua Qing wanted to do by bringing her to the Hua clan, but Hua Qing's heart to protect her was real.

"Miss, don't worry. I swear on my life that these hairs and blood from my fingertips won't harm you in the slightest." Hua Qing raised his hand and swore a poisonous oath: "If even one word I said is a lie, I will go to the eighteenth level of hell and never be reborn!"

"Hua Qing." Xiao Jiuyue held down her bitten finger and watched Hua Qing swear so seriously. The corners of her mouth twitched, "There's no need to be so cruel."

"I have to. Miss trusts me, so I have to make her trust me too." Hua Qing grinned, holding the blood from her fingertips. Seeing Xiao Jiuyue grabbing a lock of hair, she was startled and said, "Miss, just a strand of hair will do. This is too much!"

Hua Qing was afraid that Xiao Jiuyue would just grab a large lock of hair and cut it off. She grabbed the hair, which was thinner than a chopstick, and said, "Miss, this is it. This length is enough."

The hair should be about the length of a chopstick.

"Isn't that a lot?" Xiao Jiuyue took out a knife and cut off the hair directly, then handed it to Hua Qing and said, "Hurry up and prepare the prescription. We have to go to Donglin County before dawn tomorrow to meet up with Lianxin Luokui and the others."

The account book was obtained, the bandits were caught, and an unexpected surprise, the iron mine, was discovered. The trip to Xiangcheng was a complete success. She rushed back now, and maybe she could even go home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival!

"Don't worry, Miss. I promise that nothing will happen." Hua Qing started to talk nonsense as soon as he got the blood from the hair and fingertips. Xiao Jiuyue saw with her own eyes that the blood was stained on the hair, and finally, it seemed that it disappeared completely.

Hua Qing took out her amulet and stuffed her blood-stained hair into it. She quickly ran to Jun Lie and said, "Third Prince, wear this amulet close to your body. It will ensure that you won't get sick next month."

"So fast?" Jun Lie was surprised. Less than a cup of tea had passed.

"The young lady trusts me and is willing to help you, so it will naturally be quick." Hua Qing grinned: "I think you are worthy, the young lady is worthy of you doing this for her!"

Hua Qing has seen all kinds of people. Sometimes, not to mention for their own lives, they would even harm others for their own selfish desires. She has also seen her own mother lying in bed, waiting for help, but her children still didn't believe her and made all kinds of excuses!

If everyone was as straightforward and decisive as the eldest lady, Hua Qing thought: she could save more people.

"If I make this hair mixed with blood into a lucky charm, will it really not stink?" Xiao Jiuyue thought about Hua Qing's gesture of stuffing the lucky charm into the amulet, glanced at Dong Gui and asked, "Do you think my hair and fingertip blood really have any effect?"

"Yes." Donggui answered without thinking. The eldest lady is the medicine for the third prince. Maybe Hua Qing is right.

“…”

Xiao Jiuyue simply didn't bother asking. She said, "Donggui, I won't be guarding here anymore. Go outside and see what's happening to those bandits. And those bandits in the Eighteen Villages, have they all been captured?"

"Miss, I'll go right away." Dong Gui immediately went to inquire about the news. In the cave, Xiao Jiuyue leaned against the wall, warming herself by the fire. She had finally driven away most of the coldness in her body, and her body was no longer as cold as before.

"Miss, Miss, are you okay?"

Luo Kui's chirping voice reached Xiao Jiuyue, who thought she had misheard. Luo Kui came in with a bowl and said, "Miss, this is the ginger soup Guo Yang and the others made especially for you. Come on, drive away the cold."

The hot ginger soup smelled rich with ginger, as if warming her heart. Xiao Jiuyue took the ginger soup, sipped it, and asked, "Didn't you follow Guo Sheng? Why are you here?"

"Miss, how did you know that Guo Sheng saved me?" Luo Kui looked at Xiao Jiuyue in confusion, then asked worriedly, "Miss, I heard you fell into the pond. Are you okay? Are you still cold?"

Luo Kui took the clothes and draped them over Xiao Jiuyue, saying, "Miss, your illness had just improved, and now you've fallen into the pool again. I hope you won't catch a fever again..."

"Pfft, pfft, pfft." Luo Kui spat quickly, slapping her lips and saying, "Look at my mouth, I can't speak at all. Miss, after drinking this ginger soup and changing into clean clothes, and warming yourself by the fire, you will definitely not have a fever anymore."

Xiao Jiuyue took another sip of ginger soup and watched Luo Kui talking to herself. As expected, Luo Kui couldn't stop talking no matter where she went. She asked, "Why are you here?"

"Guo Sheng said the young lady was here, so I came over." Luo Kui answered without hesitation, "Lian Xin and the others have already safely descended the mountain, so I was naturally worried about the young lady. Young lady, you don't know how ugly the second-in-command of the Eighteen Villages is. He's so fat that he's thicker than that tree!"

Luo Kui gestured and said, "The flesh on that face trembles when he smiles, and those squinty eyes are disgusting. And he still wants to marry me as his eighteenth concubine. He's really like a toad wanting to eat swan flesh!"

Luo Kui shuddered at the thought of the Second In Commander and said, "He's as big as a log, so tall and strong, so scary. I'd rather be compared to the Second In Commander of Jiu Tou Village. He's a gentle and refined man, and doesn't have any bandit-like airs at all."
