As Sun Yanzhi slept, he felt someone holding his hand.
A gentle force entered his body.
He slowly opened his eyes, saw Qin Luohou, and smiled gratefully.
"Thank you, little girl!"
Qin Luo pretended to be stupid.
"Uh, well, my grandfather asked me to give you medicine. This medicine is different from the previous one; it will heal you, but it won't remove the scars!"
She pointed towards the door.
"People from the capital have arrived. Your mother is writing a petition, and you two may have to go to the capital together to file a complaint. So, your wound... do you understand?"
Sun Yanzhi sat up and cupped his hands in greeting to Qin Luo.
"Thank you very much, young lady. Please also convey my gratitude to your grandfather! I have no way to repay you, but once this matter is settled, I will definitely offer you both longevity tablets!"
Qin Luo waved his hand immediately upon hearing this.
"There's no need for that. My grandfather is a compassionate doctor and can't bear to see people suffer!"
He was also reminded about taking his medication.
"Don't take the pills he gave you before. Wait until the case is over before taking them. Your scars will disappear then. Take this one I'm giving you now!"
The pill contains a trace of martial arts power, which can slow down wound healing but is harmless to the body.
Once the case is closed, take the pill containing the water from the spatial stream, and the wound will heal completely!
Without any doubt, Sun Yanzhi opened his mouth and swallowed the medicine she gave him.
Qin Luo examined him again; his internal organs were intact and the poison had been neutralized.
Apart from the gruesome wound on his chest, which looked frightening, he was otherwise unharmed.
Qin Luo withdrew his hand and looked at Sun Yanzhi.
"Uncle Sun, my grandfather will treat this matter for you..."
Sun Yan understood perfectly.
"Don't worry, young lady, my injury was treated by an old Taoist priest who was traveling around. It has nothing to do with the old gentleman!"
Qin Luo nodded in satisfaction.
"Uncle Sun, you should rest first. Things might get chaotic in a bit. We need to head to the North Gate. You'd better pretend to be weak then!"
Sun Yanzhi nodded in understanding.
When Qin Luo came out, the indictment had already been written and it was decided that it would be kept by the leader of the Dark Dragon Guard.
She took back the writing implements.
The head of the secret guards looked at her and asked, puzzled.
"Aren't you illiterate? Why do you carry a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone with you at all times?"
Qin Luo rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.
"Who says I can't read? I just don't know that many characters. My uncle is a master, humph!"
This hum woke Mu Xiuyu, who had been sleeping in Ji He's arms.
He hummed and reached out to Mu Xiao.
"Uncle, you're carrying me, Grandma's tired!"
Mu Xiao took him, and Ji He patted Mu Xiuyu's little head, feeling incredibly comforted.
Such a young child is so sensible; it truly warms my heart!
The Dark Dragon Guards also took turns checking on Mu Xiuyu, who was sleeping in Mu Xiao's arms.
Twelve mustered up her courage and touched his little hand.
Then he excitedly stomped his feet on the spot.
Others wanted to touch it too, but were too scared, and could only watch longingly.
Qin Luo looked at the other members of the Cloth Bag Squad.
Except for Qin Yunyuan, everyone else was asleep in the open space.
Qin Luo walked over and asked him
Why isn't my eldest cousin asleep?
Qin Yunyuan smiled gently.
"These are all elderly women here. How can I, a dignified man, let my elders watch over me while I sleep soundly!"
Then he looked at Qin Luo with gentle eyes.
"Besides, my little sister hasn't rested either, has she? I don't have my little sister's skills, so I can't help Grandpa with his worries. I can only look after Grandpa, Uncle, and Auntie!"
Qin Luo looked at her older cousin who was always shy.
"My eldest cousin is amazing. He has been bedridden for many years but has never given up on himself. He respects his elders and loves his younger siblings!"
Many images of Qin Yunyuan flashed through her mind.
"When I was still confused, he always stood silently behind me, carefully protecting me so I wouldn't fall!"
As Qin Luo spoke, he became somewhat moved.
"He would even pick up the pebbles on the road beforehand, and he saved all the sweet cakes that your eldest uncle bought for you for me. Your eldest cousin is the best!"
Qin Yunyuan blushed at her words and looked at her with a hint of surprise.
"You...you remember all of this? Such a small thing..."
"This is no small matter!"
Qin Luo answered very seriously.
"This is my older cousin's love for me!"
Qin Yunyuan's eyes welled up with tears, and his throat tightened, unable to utter a word.
Qin Luo took a bottle of coffee out of the cloth bag and handed it to him.
"Since we can't sleep, let's stay awake! At 2 AM, we'll head towards the North Gate; the villagers have already gone that way."
Qin Yunyuan nodded, took the coffee, and drank it.
Qin Luo took out another small bag of milk candy and walked to the pile of stones next to the leader of the Dark Dragon Guard.
"Boss, could you do me a favor? Here's the payment!"
After saying that, she stuffed the candy into his hand.
The leader weighed the small cloth bag in his hand.
"You're quite an interesting girl! You think you can get a first-class bodyguard like me to do things for you just because you took a bag of candy?"
Qin Luo peeled one open and popped it into his mouth: "Is it delicious, Uncle!"
The Dark Dragon Guard leader fell silent; this was indeed the best milk candy he had ever tasted.
Since ancient times, people have been obliged to pay their debts: "Tell me! What's the matter?"
She pointed to the several people lying sprawled out on the open ground.
"Uncle, I have three younger brothers. I'm worried they might get separated in the crowd, so I'm asking you to take care of them!"
The leader of the Dark Dragon Guard shouted into the shadows.
"Five, six, seven, come out!"
In a flash, the three people stood in front of Qin Luo.
The Dark Dragon Guard leader looked at the group of people lying on the ground asleep.
"When we go to the North Gate later, the three of you carry the three youngest children inside on your backs to prevent them from getting lost."
