"Little Six, let my colleague carry Little Seven later, and I'll carry you. You can sleep on my back for a while. Don't worry, Little Seven will be fine. Shan Jun left a lot of water for Luo Luo; just give him plenty when we get back, and he'll wake up!"

Upon hearing Qin Luoluo's name, Qin Liang immediately burst into tears.

"Third cousin, you're saying Luo Luo isn't dead?"

Previously, Qin Ling said that Qin Luoluo was pushed and shoved against a square pillar by bandits.

Blood was everywhere; he was probably dead!

Qin Liang burst into tears after hearing this!

Now that he knows Qin Luoluo is not dead, he can't help but want to cry again...

Qin Xing patted his shoulder

"Get on, I'll carry you back, and I'll tell you everything on the way!"

Qin Liang could no longer hold back her emotions and buried her face in Qin Xing's back, sobbing quietly.

Since the death of his elder brother Qin Yan

Qin Liang hadn't felt this way, being treated like a younger brother, in a long time...

Qin Xing felt his back was soaked; he was genuinely afraid the boy would cry until he was dehydrated…

So she quietly started chatting with him.

"Little Six, have you ever seen a tiger?"

Qin Liang sniffed and shook his head.

"No, legend has it that mountain tigers eat people!"

"No, that's not it. The mountain lord of Luoyun Mountain came down to rescue someone. Luoluo was rescued by the mountain lord, and now she can speak. Although only half of her mind is still intact, she speaks fluently and even cares about people!"

"Really? But I heard from my uncle that Luo Luo hit her head and got a big hole, and there was blood everywhere. How did Shan Jun save her?"

Qin Xing repeated what Qin Luo had said to him again.

"Luo Luo said she hit her head and passed out. When she woke up, Shan Jun was licking her head, and she felt better after that. She also told me that she heard Shan Jun say he was going up the mountain to rescue people, which is why we came so quickly."

Qin Liang was quite surprised to hear this.

"What a miraculous encounter! Uncle will be overjoyed to know Luo Luo is better. By the way, Third Cousin, are the villagers' bodies still there? Last night we heard wolves howling and tigers roaring; could their bodies have already been eaten?"

"No, the bodies are all there. The magistrate left some people to clean up. The tiger's roar you heard was the mountain tiger; it came down the mountain and drove the wolf pack back into the deep mountains!"

As Qin Xing was talking, he realized that the person on his back had fallen asleep!

They quickened their pace and hurried down the mountain. By the time they reached the entrance of the Qin Clan Ancestral Hall in Qixia Village, it was almost dark.

Wei Yanqing wanted to rush back to the county town overnight, and Qin Ling wanted to persuade him to stay.

But seeing the village ravaged by fire, he remained silent.

Qin Xing then took the water bags belonging to the county magistrate and others into the ancestral hall, filled them, and handed them out to everyone.

He bowed deeply to the county magistrate.

"Many thanks to the magistrate and all my colleagues for their help. I, Qin Xing, will never forget your kindness today!"

After another round of back and forth, the group finally saw the magistrate and his entourage off.

As Qinling and his group were about to enter the ancestral hall, they saw a small head peeking out from the doorway.

Qin Liang immediately stepped forward and hugged Qin Luo, crying with tears streaming down his face.

"Luo Luo, you scared your uncle to death! I heard you died, and I don't know how to explain it to your father and mother, waaaaah~"

Before Qin Luo could even comfort her, she was hugged by another person.

Qin Ling pushed Qin Liang away, tears streaming down his face.

"Little Luo, you're not dead! You're really not dead! It's truly a blessing from heaven! Your great-grandfather thought you were gone and even wanted to go with you... Waaah~"

Just as Qin Luo was about to offer some words of comfort, her wrist was grabbed.

"Don't move, little girl, let Grandpa You take your pulse."

Upon hearing that Doctor You was going to take the pulse, Qin Ling and Qin Liang both calmed down.

But a moment later, I heard Doctor You say...

"His pulse is steady and even, his complexion is rosy, and he has plenty of energy and blood—he's as strong as a young calf, old buddy! This doesn't seem like the blood-soaked scene you described."

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Qin Xing and Qin Liang immediately changed the subject.

"Uncle, let's release the people in the secret passage quickly!"

"Xiao Liu is right, everyone's probably worried sick. Quickly open the secret passage!"

Qin Ling and the others immediately turned their attention to the secret passage.

Several people tried to push the bluestone altar together, but couldn't budge it.

Later, Qinling, Qin Jun, and Doctor You all went up, but it still didn't budge.

Finally, Qin Luo couldn't stand it anymore and squeezed in front of the bluestone altar.

While they were exerting force together, I casually pushed them away as well!

It seems the water in this space wasn't just for nothing.

It's just pushing a rock, effortless, hehe~

Once the secret passage opened, Qin Ling called out into it.

"It's safe now, everyone come out!"

Then he heard hurried footsteps, but Qin Luo didn't look at the person who came out of the secret passage.

She went over to the seriously injured people, pretending to give them water, but actually using her supernatural abilities to heal them.

Qin Xing saw Qin Luo busy doing things all by herself.

So I went over to help, and soon everyone woke up.

Qin Xingcai led his clansmen and villagers to the place where the bodies were kept...
