Chapter 101 Grain Exchange



After breakfast, Qinling led everyone on their way again.

Mu Feng's injuries had completely healed, and he was exactly the same as before.

Not only can he run and jump, but he's also become much stronger.

He now regards Lord Kang as his guardian angel.

The first thing I do every morning when I wake up is to pray for it.

They were even more attentive to Doctor You after he recovered.

I stayed by Doctor You's side the whole time, afraid that he might get tired or thirsty.

They were also very enthusiastic towards Qin Xian and Qin Liang.

You don't even need to call them, they'll come to help immediately.

On Qin Yundu's birthday, he had nothing of value and even wrote an IOU.

"I owe my nephew Yun Du a fine Duan inkstone. I will personally select one and send it to him when I return to the capital."

He treated Qin Luo like his own daughter, showing her care and concern every day.

He also taught Qin Luo a set of movement techniques.

It is said that in addition to being able to quickly dodge attacks

It is said that it can also help people grow taller, so Qin Luo studied it very diligently.

He had originally planned to teach something else, but then gave up.

What they learned were fighting styles that resulted in heavy losses on both sides.

It was incredibly difficult to learn, and he couldn't bear to let Qin Luo suffer like that.

He planned to give her all his savings when he returned to the capital so she could buy a house.

Buy a few more servants to serve her and Doctor You.

I will work hard to earn more military merits so that Luo Luo can become a daughter of an official in the future!

Qin Luo was unaware of these thoughts, and even if she had, she would have refused.

She didn't want to be some kind of official's daughter.

She just wanted to take Wu Hua and Tengteng to travel around and see the world.

Let Wu Hua taste delicious food she's never had before, and let her see the places where Fan Xing saved people.

Speaking of Wu Hua, I don't know what happened to him.

The duration of his sleep was even longer than when he was previously injured.

Qin Luo was very worried, but there was nothing she could do.

I can only occasionally enter the space to transfer some supernatural energy to it.

As Wu Hua's slumber lengthened, the Bodhi tree also ceased growing.

Qin Luo told Jingming about this.

Jingming gazed at her for a long time with the green lotus flower on his forehead.

Amidst her vibrant life force, a touch of bright red blood appeared.

This indicates that she will soon be in danger.

He remained silent for a long time. Qin Luo noticed his pale expression and asked...

"What's wrong? Is something the problem?"

Jingming then came to his senses.

"It's alright, the Bodhi tree is fine, but sister, you..."

Qin Luo knew from his hesitant expression that he had probably witnessed something unpleasant.

She then asked him, "Is Wu Hua in danger? Or is Tengteng in danger?"

Jingming shook his head: "Neither, it's..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Luo covered his mouth.

"No need to say it, I understand. I'll be careful. You need to watch what you say in the future, and don't hurt yourself for the sake of unimportant people."

Jingming became anxious the moment he heard her say that.

"My older sister is not an insignificant person!"

Although he had only known Qin Luo for a short time, he already regarded her as his own sister.

The temple keeper once joked that he was attached to worldly affairs and had impure senses!

He disagreed, saying that no matter how one practices, it's still practicing; some people can become Buddhas even by eating meat and drinking alcohol!

He just wanted some family affection.

Would Buddha possibly abandon him from Buddhism because of this?

Seeing his agitation, Qin Luo offered words of comfort.

"It's not that I'm an outsider, it's just that I'm afraid that if someone asks you to speak up, you'll end up saying it, and it's not worth hurting yourself. Besides, I'm so smart, I can guess what you're thinking without you even saying it!"

Upon hearing this, Jingming scratched his bald head and grinned sheepishly.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, sister. I won't easily show it to others in the future!"

Qin Luo patted his little bald head.

He then stuffed a lot of fresh fruit into his cloth bag.

As dusk fell, the villagers of Qixia Village finally saw the city gates of Changjin County.

However, the city gates were tightly closed, and notices were posted on the city walls.

The notice stated: "An epidemic has broken out in the prefecture, and all efforts are being made to treat the affected people. The city gates cannot be opened temporarily, and the opening time is uncertain. However, the matter has been reported to the imperial court, and the travel permits for the displaced people will be extended."

Qinling led everyone to a place to stay outside the city.

Every household set up their pots and pans, preparing to cook something to eat.

The disaster victims watching nearby were filled with envy.

They've been gnawing on tree bark for days.

The nearby mountains look like they've been swarmed by locusts.

There aren't many withered trees left.

Qin Luo knew that famine years could bring disease, after all, so many people had died.

Corpses were everywhere, but there were many things she didn't understand!

So I went to ask Doctor You.

"Grandpa You, what kind of epidemic do you think it will be? Will many people die?"

Doctor You looked at the tightly closed city gates and sighed deeply.

"Without seeing any cases, I cannot make a definitive conclusion, but droughts and epidemics have always been extremely terrible. The prefect of Changjin County has done the right thing!"

He then looked at the disaster victims beside him.

“If we let all these disaster victims in, they will surely die. Look at them, they are already weak. If they get infected, even if there is a life-saving treatment, they won't be able to withstand it…”

Qin Luo felt a pang of pity upon hearing this.

"Medicine is scarce everywhere now. Are the people in the city just waiting to die?"

Doctor You closed his eyes sadly.

"That's for sure. We're lucky to have Lord Kang's favor; they can only wait for the Bodhisattva's blessing!"

Qin Luo's eyes darted around, and he pointed in the direction of Jingming.

"I don't know if the Bodhisattva will protect them, but I can make the disaster victims believe that they can trigger miracles!"

Doctor You looked at her suspiciously.

"Luo girl, you're not asking them to help you deceive people, are you? That won't do! A monk can't break his vows. You can't let him do that just because Jingming calls you 'elder sister'!"
