The Qinling Mountains were also quite sour, but this sourness actually made people more energetic.
Qinling then shouted to the group, "Don't stop! Everyone, quicken your pace and keep going!"
Qin Liang and Liu Zheng also grabbed Qin Luo and continued on their way.
Qin Liang and Liu Zheng took turns lecturing her along the way, with Liu Zheng looking at her tenderly.
"Luo Luo, you've lived those past ten years or so in a daze. Although your aunt taught you what you could and couldn't do, you may not remember. Now, your aunt will teach you again. First and foremost, you must respect your elders. Look!"
She pointed to the Qinling Mountains and them.
“Grandpa, Grandma, and Grandpa You are all quite old. Eating too much sour food like this will upset their stomachs, especially your Grandma, whose digestive system has always been weak. You can't do this anymore, understand?”
Qin Liang continued the education, following up on Liu Zheng's words.
"I reckon your great-grandmother's stomach will be hurting all night. She didn't want to take the pills you gave her, saying she wanted to save them for emergencies on the road!"
Thinking of Ji He's stomach ailment, I felt a pang of heartache.
"Every time she was in so much pain she couldn't straighten up, she gritted her teeth and insisted on continuing her journey. You and Yunhao even deliberately brought her sour plums. Tell me, weren't you two wrong?"
Qin Luo looked at Qin Yunyang, Wang Chang'en, and the twins, gritting her teeth.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't do it again!"
Qin Yunyang and his three companions felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were being watched by a wild beast.
The four of them then stepped forward to admit their mistake.
Qin Yundu adopted an attitude of taking responsibility for his own actions.
He walked over to Qin Liang and tugged at his sleeve.
"Sixth Uncle, it actually has nothing to do with my older sister and younger brother. It was my idea that's meant to get you and Sixth Aunt to beat up Yunhao!"
The more he talked, the more confused he became.
"It was my fault for not thinking things through and causing trouble for you elders. Please punish me! Even if you beat my backside raw, I won't utter a single complaint!"
Qin Yunyang, Wang Chang'en, and Qin Yunze also lowered their heads.
He stood silently behind Qin Yundu, looking as if he would accept any punishment or beating as he pleased.
Qin Liang and Liu Zheng looked at Qin Luo awkwardly after hearing Qin Yundu's words.
Liu Zheng held her hand
"Luo Luo, Auntie was wrong. Auntie misunderstood you without asking clearly. How about Auntie makes you fried dough sticks for dinner, with lots of lard, okay?"
Qin Liang also used his face, which had no bad angles.
She gave Qin Luo a smile as gentle as a spring breeze.
"Luo Luo, which of these brats do you want to beat up? Tell me, your uncle will help you beat them up, and give them a good spanking!"
Tao Zhi nodded rapidly.
"Go and fetch those sour plums, and I'll have to eat them all as punishment!"
The group looked at her with bewildered expressions.
Tao Zhi thought they felt it was inappropriate to take back something that had been given away.
So, suppressing my heartache and reluctance...
"We won't take it back for nothing. Qin Xian and I received our rewards as Lord Kang, so let's use those to exchange for it. Consider it an apology for Yun Du's wrongdoing!"
Qin Luo clapped his hands in agreement.
"Okay, we'll do it your way, just like my aunt says!"
Qin Yundu carried the bag and walked over, while Qin Yunyang and the other two silently followed behind, apologizing.
Tao Zhi was happy about the preserved plums she was about to receive.
Qin Xian sighed for the ginseng fruit he had obtained but had not eaten, nor even touched or seen.
Qin Luo found his expression particularly amusing.
He turned around and reached into the oilcloth, placing a sack in the car.
Qin Xian's happiness returned like a boomerang.
He clasped his hands together and murmured to himself as he looked up at the sky.
"Lord Kang, I am your follower, Qin Xian of the Qin family. If you need anything done in the future, just let Luo Luo know, and your follower will have no objections..."
Liu Zheng ignored Qin Xian's incessant rambling and instead focused on observing Tao Zhi.
She sensed something was off from the moment she started talking about plums without them being sour.
But she wasn't sure, so Liu Zheng decided to have Doctor You come and take a look when she rested that evening.
Qin Luo picked up Qin Liang's empty water pouch and filled it with papaya juice mixed with water from the spatial stream.
"Uncle, this is for Grandma. It'll relieve her stomach pain. Could you please take it to her?"
After agreeing, Qin Liang took the water bag and walked towards Qinling and the others!
