Looking at the bright blue sky, she felt a sense of peace and drowsiness!
"Clang!"
The carriage suddenly jolted, instantly waking Qin Qing. Just as she sat up, the carriage shook again, and the horses stopped abruptly, raising their heads and neighing…
Qin Qing steadied himself, first opening the carriage curtain. Seeing that everyone had been awakened but thankfully no one was injured, he felt relieved and began to check what was under the carriage.
This sight was so startling that she almost fell off the car...
The carriage wheels on both sides had just run over a soft, squishy thing, which looked like a person!
The man didn't react at all, as if he had been dead for a long time and his body had been dumped in the wilderness. She had just been half asleep and hadn't noticed him at all. In addition, dust and clods of dirt covered most of him, making him look like an ordinary road. That's when the horse stepped on him and walked over!
After being run over, the corpse was quickly flipped over, which allowed Qin Qing to see what was happening.
"Don't get out of the car! Stay in the car and wait!"
After Qin Qing finished speaking, he quickly walked downstairs and approached the corpse. He then smelled a very strong stench of blood!
The key point is that the smell is different; it doesn't smell like the stench of someone who has been dead for a long time!
She looked up. The carriage was traveling along a country road, and the body lay in the middle of it, clearly thrown out from somewhere. Murder and body disposal? Thinking of this, Qin Qing's expression turned grave…
After thinking for a moment, she grabbed the man's hem with one hand and dragged the two of them to the side. After all, her carriage had just run over him, and to prevent him from being run over by more people, she felt apologetic.
During the struggle, the man suddenly made a muffled sound, which startled Qin Qing so much that her face turned pale. She hurriedly retreated, accidentally aggravating the wound on her calf, and instantly winced in pain!
At the same time, they realized that this so-called "corpse" was actually not dead...
She endured the pain and reached out to lift the tattered clothes covering the man's face. Then she saw a face covered in dirt and blood, with three long wounds that stretched from the left eyebrow to the right chin. It looked terrifying!
Fortunately, she's seen plenty of big scenes; she's even seen steel bars pierce her chest, so this is nothing to her!
Then, with a serious expression, he reached out and placed his hand on the man's neck, feeling the faint throbbing of his fingertips...
He's still breathing?!
The next second, she pulled open the man's collar to keep his airway clear, but she also saw the rotting wound on the man's chest!
Severe infection, pneumothorax, internal bleeding... With ancient technology, this guy was doomed!
Qin Qing sighed, looking at the man on the ground who was barely clinging to life.
"You're incredibly lucky to be alive after all this! It's a pity I don't have the equipment or instruments to save you. Don't push yourself too hard, you should leave as soon as possible!"
After saying that, she picked up a leaf from the tree beside her and covered the man with it, so that he could return to dust. She certainly couldn't bring herself to dig a hole and bury him.
After doing all this, Qin Qing picked up her cane and prepared to leave! Suddenly, a pale hand emerged from the pile of leaves, tightly gripping her hem. A weak, hoarse voice came from within, as if every word was spoken with great pain!
"Don't...go! Please...help me!"
Qin Qing was startled. After regaining her senses, she didn't hear what the man said clearly, but the fact that he could still make a sound despite being injured like this was enough to surprise her!
Four words immediately came to mind: a final burst of energy before death!
She crouched down and just as she lifted the leaves from the man's face, she saw him suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, his face quickly turning deathly pale, his eyes barely open, while he coughed up blood and mumbled something.
"Please... cut open my... stomach, and give me... this thing... you absolutely must give it to me..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man suddenly stopped breathing, his tightly closed eyes widening in disbelief, as if he had died with his eyes wide open in disbelief…
Seeing this, Qin Qing couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. It wasn't that she was afraid of ghosts, but the person's current miserable state was truly terrifying! And what a melodramatic plot! Why did they have to utter so many unnecessary words? What about the follow-up? What about the characters? They just died without any clues. She hated this kind of plot the most!
"Please, we're not even related. If you're going to give your dying instructions, don't tell me! And cutting open your stomach? What ancient person would dare to be so bold and crazy? Damn it! I should have known better than to get off the carriage! Now I've caused a lot of trouble!"
As she spoke, she frowned and took out a scalpel from her spatial storage. Following the man's instructions, she directly cut open his stomach. After all, the ancients were not very clear about the internal organs, and the "stomach" he mentioned usually referred to the stomach.
Enduring the stench of blood and the blazing sun, Qin Qing's forehead was soon covered in sweat, and his throat grew increasingly nauseous and dry. After a long while, he finally found a hard object...
It was a jade key that was entirely red, or perhaps it was just naturally red because it was stained with blood. It had a rather strange shape and a gem that shone like a cat's eye at the top!
This object doesn't look very big, but it would be extremely difficult for a living person to swallow it!
Suddenly, she thought of something and subconsciously reached out to pry open the man's mouth. The sight of bleeding spots and swelling deep in his throat was shocking, making her own throat feel uncomfortable.
The fact that he endured such pain to swallow the key while alive, and then clung to his last breath after death to wait for people to find him and remove the contents of his stomach, is enough to prove the importance of this key!
Looking at the unusually red key in her hand, Qin Qing resignedly sewed up the man's stomach again, then covered it with leaves once more...
"You didn't finish speaking, how am I supposed to know who to give it to? Oh well, I guess I'll just have to leave it to fate. But don't blame me, this is the middle of nowhere, even if I bury you, wild animals will dig you up and eat you."
After she finished dealing with everything, her face pale, she finally couldn't help but gag and dry heave, then took out water and carefully washed her hands.
At the same time, the key was cleaned, revealing its true appearance. It was a similar glassy red color to before, and the cat's eye stone at the top still looked dazzling. Overall, it looked very expensive and classic!
After thinking for a moment, she put it into her space. Looking around to make sure no one was there, she threw away the blood-stained clothes and put on the purple Xiangyun yarn that Liu Piaorou had given her before.
After she got into the carriage, the group noticed that she had changed her clothes and looked at her with amazement.
"This dress is so pretty! Grandma looks so good in it! But why did Grandma suddenly want to change her clothes?"
Xiao Muxing looked at her curiously, since they had been in the carriage and couldn't see what was happening behind them.
Qin Qing smiled upon hearing this and reached out to pinch her cheek.
