She fiddled with her fingers and murmured to herself.
"He watches over me during the day and then stakes out Zhang Niangzi and the others at night. Doesn't he get any sleep? How can his body handle that?"
Qin Liang also felt it was inappropriate.
"I'll keep watch that night, so my younger brother can come back and get some sleep!"
Qin Luo glanced at him with a hint of disdain.
"Uncle, you should go to sleep early!"
He turned around and went to find Mu Feng.
Qin Liang, furious, pointed at Qin Luo's retreating figure, his lips trembling.
"I...I...she...she...waaaaah~"
Qin Xian held him in her arms.
"Alright, alright, Luo Luo absolutely didn't mean you were weak!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Liang cried even louder…
Mu Feng was in the treetop, observing the movements of Zhang Niangzi and her group.
Then Qin Luo walked towards him.
I was just about to climb down the tree to get her
Qin Luo then flung out a vine that wrapped around the tree trunk and leaped to his side.
She took out bread and milk and handed them to Mu Feng.
"Uncle, please eat quickly, then take a nap. I'll keep watch over you!"
Mu Feng was flattered by the sudden concern.
"Luo Luo, didn't you say I was annoying?"
Qin Luo felt both bewildered and guilty.
"No, who said that? I just felt sorry for you being so tired!"
Mu Feng thought he was overthinking it.
He thought to himself: Turns out I misunderstood. Luo Luo didn't mind at all, hehe~
He picked up the bread and started eating.
Qin Luo took some more strawberries and handed them to him.
"Uncle, this is super sweet, you should try it!"
Mu Feng picked one up and put it in his mouth.
"It's very sweet, thank you Luo Luo!"
Seeing his silly, goofy smile, Qin Luo also started to laugh.
The two completely forgot that they were still spying on others.
Early the next morning
Qin Luo and the others had just finished breakfast when Madam Zhang came looking for them.
"Dr. You, how are you? I have something I'd like to ask you. Would you mind speaking to me privately?"
Doctor You stood up readily.
"Why not? Let's go talk by the carriage. Yesterday I had someone buy some precious materials for me. Luo'er, go to the carriage and keep an eye on them for me, make sure the horses don't spill them!"
Qin Luo immediately got up and went to the carriage.
"Okay, I'll go right now!"
Zhang Niangzi also didn't let Qin Luo avoid it.
Thinking to myself: It's better that she went; I'll keep that ugly girl and Doctor You calm down later.
Wu E went to appease Jingming and his group of monks.
Yi'er can take that girl away without anyone noticing!
The three walked towards the carriage, and Qin Ling also signaled Qin Liang and the others to be on their guard.
Everyone went about their own business, and Qin Xian was responsible for keeping an eye on Zhang Niangzi's accomplices.
Qin Liang and Qin Yunyuan went to check on Niu Niu's parents and younger brother.
Niu Niu and Shui Ying stayed together, while Mu Feng was responsible for patrolling among the villagers and clansmen.
To prevent another mole from appearing...
Niu Niu's father is on his last breath; now he's just waiting to starve to death.
Niu Niu's mother wasn't much better off; she was almost awake last night.
Unexpectedly, Dr. You gave her another injection before bed, perhaps using a larger dose.
She's completely dazed and confused right now, her mind is all muddled.
Tiger Cub went from struggling at the beginning, to being afraid, to now feeling like he was living a life worse than death.
It was all thanks to Qin Xian; the moment he threw Huwa off the tree...
Tiger Cub felt that living was worse than dying; he was in excruciating pain all over his body.
Every now and then, Qin Xian would come and kick him.
It's absolutely guaranteed that there's not a single good spot on his body...
Now, all he can think about are the images of how he used to bully his older sister!
He used to treat his elder sister the way Qin Xian treats him now.
When you're bored, kick it; when you're happy, kick it too.
If Niu Niu resists, he'll let her parents beat her, and then he'll kick her a few more times.
Sometimes Niu Niu would ask him
"Tiger Cub, why do you always hit me?"
Tiger Cub answered with confidence.
"If they can hit you, why can't I?"
Now he understands Niu Niu's pain, and he wants to go to her and repent.
But Qin Liang and Qin Yunyuan didn't give him a chance at all; as soon as he had the thought of finding Niu Niu...
Qin Liang would then say to Qin Yunyuan, "Go and fetch your little uncle!"
Tiger Cub was immediately too scared to move.
However, as long as Qin Liang said to call for help, Qin Yunyuan would actually go and call for help.
He would get kicked by Qin Xian, each kick landing squarely on his skin, ensuring only superficial injuries, not serious ones!
Doctor You had just stood not far from the carriage
Madam Zhang couldn't wait to speak.
"Dr. You, I told my husband about it yesterday, and he's a bit skeptical about the pills' effectiveness. He just accidentally injured his arm. Could you please take a look at it? Ideally, we could use the same medicine from yesterday!"
Doctor You looked reluctant to leave.
"To tell you the truth, I've only managed to make one pill. But with the silver you gave me, I bought some high-quality ingredients, and I believe I can make another one soon! Alas! What a pity! I don't have enough silver!"
Zhang Niangzi was shocked: What kind of material is this? Seven hundred taels can only buy a little bit?
But the thought of making another one makes it all worthwhile.
“Then let’s go check on my husband’s injury first. He still has some silver notes on him; perhaps if he sees the medicine is effective, he’ll be willing to provide you with the money.”
Doctor You pretended to think for a moment, then seemed to have made up his mind.
"Alright, but I have to make this clear: this pill is extremely precious. The remaining half is worth far more than the seven hundred taels you gave me. If more pills are made in the future, you won't get any!"
Seeing that he was willing to use the remaining half of the pill, Madam Zhang readily agreed.
