Qiu Yan breathed a sigh of relief; her mood had been like a rollercoaster ride every day.
Today, she and Ling Qi were lucky and didn't encounter any pursuers.
"God, why did I have to run into these beasts?" Qin Susu said between vomiting.
Upon seeing Qiu Yan, she stopped vomiting.
"Xiaoyan, you've finally arrived."
Ling Ba looked at the corpse on the ground.
"First murder?"
“Yes, if I don’t kill them, they will ruin my reputation.” Qin Susu said, clutching her chest.
This was the first time in her life she had killed someone, and in one go, she had killed so many people. Her stomach churned, and her face turned pale.
"Judging from your appearance, you look pregnant," Ling Qi teased, seeing that Qin Susu was unharmed.
"Ling Qi!" Qin Susu gritted her teeth.
She was a virgin, not even given to her own husband, so how could she be pregnant?
These damned soldiers crossed her line.
Qiu Yan stepped forward and stood opposite Qin Susu, immediately noticing her injured shoulder.
"Are you injured?"
"The clothes are torn."
The two women spoke in unison, and Qin Susu's eyes reddened.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoyan, I've made you spend money again."
"It's good that you're alright." Although they didn't have much money, and their journey had only just begun, of their two hundred taels of silver, only one hundred and eighty taels remained.
However, compared to life, clothes are insignificant.
If it were an ordinary woman, she would probably have been violated by those soldiers long ago.
Qiu Yan felt fortunate that Qin Susu was indeed very capable.
"How many soldiers did you encounter just now? Did you kill them all?"
Qin Susu: "Probably ten or so. We made a mistake and a few of them escaped. If it happened again, they definitely wouldn't be so lucky."
"Let's go quickly, we can't stay here any longer," Qiu Yan said urgently.
The fact that some people escaped means that they will definitely turn back once they bring reinforcements.
Ling Qi and Ling Ba's expressions also became anxious.
"Mmm." Qin Susu nodded, but as soon as she stood up, she felt a wave of dizziness.
The scene of the murder she had just witnessed still haunted her, making her feel nauseous and wanting to vomit.
"Xiaoyan, aren't you afraid when you see these corpses?"
Qiu Yan shook her head: "Living people are far more terrifying than corpses."
“Oh, that’s true.” Qin Susu agreed.
After what just happened, they should postpone their plans to dine in the forest and get away from the thicket as soon as possible.
Upon reaching the carriage, Qin Susu immediately forgot her earlier displeasure when she saw there were persimmons to eat.
She wiped her hands, tasted a soft persimmon, and exclaimed...
"tasty!"
She ate one after another, until her lips were red and rosy, like a child.
Qiu Yan: "In your opinion, what doesn't taste good?"
Qin Susu's appearance is completely inconsistent with her personality.
She doesn't seem to be a picky eater; she loves to eat everything and is easy to feed.
Seeing that Qin Susu was enjoying her meal, Ling Qi and Ling Ba also tried some soft persimmons to fill their stomachs.
Although it wasn't enough to completely fill my stomach, at least I wasn't so hungry anymore.
Ling Qi packed up the birds they had hunted and prepared to find a secluded spot to barbecue them after leaving the thicket.
Then, the group began their journey.
Inside the carriage, Ling Ba handed the water pouch to Qiu Yan:
"I only found some snow from last year, which I melted into water and has already boiled."
"Why didn't you say so sooner? I'm dying of thirst." Qin Susu swallowed hard; the soft persimmon she had just eaten hadn't quenched her thirst.
Qiu Yan handed the water bag to Qin Susu.
Unlike Qin Susu, who was engaged in a life-or-death battle with the enemy, she no longer felt thirsty after eating the persimmon.
